Description of Business Forward Looking Statements Some of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Report, including those relating to our strategy and other statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar expressions, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements are not historical facts but instead represent only the Firm's expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, which may include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed in "Risk Factors" found elsewhere in this Report. The nature of our business makes predicting the future trends of revenues difficult. Caution should be used when extrapolating historical results to future periods. Our actual results and financial condition may differ, perhaps materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition in any such forward-looking statements and, accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. General Incorporated in 1992, we develop and market proprietary video technology in two areas: semiconductors and video systems. We market our products globally to OEM Manufacturers, and dealers and distributors in the consumer and professional channels. Our semiconductor products include several series of Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASICs) that process digital and analog video to be used with televisions, computer motherboards, graphics cards, video conferencing systems, Internet TV, media center and interactive TV applications. We market our ASICs through semiconductor distribution channels. Our system products are designed to provide solutions in PC-to-TV scan conversion, video presentation, digital-video conversion, video production and home theater markets. We market our system products through both consumer and professional channels. Our system products include video scan converters, video mixers, character generators, and video processors. Since our inception, we have emphasized gaining market awareness for our products and increasing our intellectual property through both internal market and product development as well as through acquisition. In September of 1996, we acquired TView, Inc., a developer of PC-to-TV video conversion semiconductor technology. We believe the acquisition was a strategic milestone in our transition to the video convergence market. In July of 1998 we acquired PC Video Conversion, Inc., a manufacturer of professional high-end video conversion products. We later restructured this entity into a Professional Products Research & Development group and consolidated its operations into our corporate headquarters. Our PC-to-TV technology provides sharp, flicker-free, computer-generated images on televisions for multimedia/business presentations, classroom/training sessions, game playing and Internet browsing. In January of 2001, we completed our merger with Videonics, Inc. (previously NASDAQ: VDNX). Videonics, a leading designer of affordable, high-quality, digital video post-production equipment, developed and marketed products for the expanding markets of Internet production and streaming, desktop video editing and video presentations. Following the merger, we have taken advantage of the complementary strategic fit of the businesses to build attractively priced digital video solutions for an expanded customer base. After the merger, we put in place a new management team and executed a restructuring plan, which has significantly reduced our post-merger staffing in the areas of operations, marketing, customer support and finance. In September 2002, we closed our Chelmsford facility and Brett Moyer, our former Chief Operating Officer moved from Chelmsford to Campbell, California to accept the role as Focus' President and Chief Executive Officer. On January 28, 2004, we announced that we had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code) to acquire substantially all the assets and assume certain liabilities of Visual Circuits Corporation (Visual Circuits), located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, solely in exchange for 3,805,453 shares of our voting common stock, subject to certain adjustments. Founded in 1991, Visual Circuits is a leading manufacturer and developer of integrated hardware, software and network products that manage, schedule, distribute, store and present digital video in commercial-market media applications. Visual Circuits' products are found worldwide in retail, entertainment, education and healthcare facilities and range from circuit boards to standard and high-definition network-storage media 2 appliances. Its products are sold primarily through system integrators and commercial AV dealers. Visual Circuits' products are designed to serve both Pro AV and IT requirements. The acquisition is subject to the approval of Visual Circuits' shareholders. The acquisition is anticipated to close by April 30, 2004, and will require approval and a declaration of effectiveness by the SEC of an S-4 registration statement covering the FOCUS Enhancements voting common shares to be issued to Visual Circuits. On March 2, 2004 we announced that we had completed the acquisition of COMO Computer & Motion GmbH (COMO), located in Kiel, Germany, through the issuance of approximately 795,000 shares of the our common stock. We may also issue an additional approximately 46,000 shares of our common stock, to COMO's shareholders in the event certain conditions are met at the end of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005. Founded in 1990, COMO manufactures and distributes digital video solutions. COMO's key products are Digital Media Management Server Systems, Hard Disk Video Recorder, Videomixer PCI Boards, and Videosignal Transcoder. COMO products are sold worldwide and can be found in Broadcast and Industrial Applications. Our executive offices are located at 1370 Dell Avenue, Campbell, CA 95008-6604 and our Semiconductor Group is located at 22867 Northwest Bennett Rd., Hillsboro, Oregon 97124. Focus' general telephone number is (408) 866-8300, and our Worldwide Web address is http://www.Focusinfo.com. Information contained on the Website is not part of this document. Business Strategy In 2003, we continued to concentrate on the Semiconductor and System product groups. ASIC chip products are targeted for the scan conversion, commercial television, video conferencing, media gateway and set top boxes for the cable, Internet appliance, gaming, and home gateway industries. These are industries that require the best video conversion technology available in the market. We continue to design complete products for the professional audio video and home theater markets using our proprietary software and ASIC designs to deliver feature rich products to the market. During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company only had operations in the United States. During 2003, we established a semiconductor sales office in Taiwan, with a total of two employees. Property plant and equipment purchases to date have been insignificant. All orders taken by our Taiwan sales office are approved by our U.S. headquarters and shipped from the U.S. The following table summarizes revenue by geographic area (in thousands): 2003 2002 2001 ------- ------- ------- United States.................................. $21,066 $12,828 $18,170 Americas (excluding the United States)......... 208 288 837 Europe......................................... 1,745 1,513 1,323 Asia........................................... 3,556 2,683 2,978 ------- ------- ------- Total..................................... $26,575 $17,312 $23,308 ======= ======= ======= Our Products We market two distinctive product lines: semiconductors and video system products. Our system products (professional and consumer) target video production and home entertainment and our semiconductor products target the video convergence market. Semiconductor Products Our ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) chips are custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip like a microprocessor. The use of ASIC chips improves performance over general-purpose CPUs, because the chips are "hardwired" to do a specific job. Our products provide solutions for customers who need high quality digital images on a television screen. The PC-to-TV video convergence market exists as a result of incompatibility between a PC's progressive scan image and the TV's interlace image. Our ASIC products include the FS400, FS450, FS453/4 and FS460 series used for scaling, mixing, blending, scan conversion, Internet TV and interactive TV applications. These chips, due to their features and applicability, are used in many of the Company's consumer systems products. The following is a listing of the many applications for our chips: o Media Centers o Gaming Consoles 3 o Graphic Design and Animation Hardware o Information Appliances o Interactive Home Entertainment o Interactive Television o PC Video Out (TV-Ready PC's) o Point of Sales Terminals o Seamless Switchers o Set Top Boxes o Teleconferencing Systems o Television Broadcast and Video Design o Video Kiosks o Web Appliances o Automotive Video The wide expanse of applications for our semiconductor products provides us with the opportunity to grow our business. In early 1999, we introduced our fourth generation proprietary NTSC/PAL digital video co-processor technology to designers of video and large display monitor products. Our FS400 series of ASICs has patented designs that dramatically improve video quality while reducing cost for the manufacturer. Our consumer electronics product line marketed under the TView brand uses the FS400 ASIC chip. The chips are marketed to manufacturers of video-conferencing equipment and commercial television OEMs. We began shipping the FS450, an advanced PC-to-TV co-processor, to OEM customers in May of 2000. The FS450 chip incorporates a broadcast quality encoder and programmable, flat, artifact-free scaling and an advanced 2D-flicker filter. The FS450 is targeted for Internet set-top boxes, Cable/DVD Player set-top boxes, Internet appliances, graphic cards and laptops. In May of 2001, we launched the FS460, our second ASIC chip co-developed with Intel. This ASIC was designed for Multimedia Gateways and Interactive Television applications. It allows our customers to build products that merge computer generated graphics with up to two other independent video sources into one television signal. This allows products with interactive buttons to overlay video, for PIP (picture in picture) and Program guide information to simultaneously exist on the video screen, or to play games while maintaining internet access and monitoring video. The chip allows user interaction with on-screen content for applications such as advanced interactive TV, web surfing, online games and e-commerce. The chip supports the European MHP standard, and is a cost-effective solution for use with Intel architecture. The FS460 complements Intel's graphic systems and is supported by the Intel 810, 815 and certain future graphic chip-sets and is compatible with Intel Celeron processors, Intel Pentium III processors and Intel Pentium IV processors. In August of 2002, we announced the FS454. The FS454 is the latest chip in the series, and was designed for use in the Microsoft Xbox. Microsoft funded $2.1 million for the development of the FS454. In July of 2003, we began production shipments of the FS454 to Microsoft, just in time to meet the Microsoft's Xbox peak production period (August - November). Although we will continue shipments into first quarter of 2004, shipments will be at significantly reduced levels when compared to the third and fourth quarters of 2003. In January 2004, we were informed by Microsoft that we should not expect further orders for the FS454. Shipments of the FS454 in 2003, which were primarily to Microsoft, represented 37% of the Company's total net revenues. In addition to compatibility with the Microsoft Xbox, the FS454 has broad applications in other products that need TV-Out, such as PC's, media centers and media adaptors. The chip provides normal TV and HDTV outputs, has a small footprint, and has low power consumption for notebook PC requirements. During 2003, we have been developing UltraWide Band (UWB) technology for use in transmitting wireless video. We are a founding member of the Multiband OFDM Alliance (MBOA), which announced the formation of the MBOA Special Interest Group (SIG) at the Intel Developer Forum on February 18, 2004. We intend to develop chips and system products for this emerging market. During 2003, approximately 37% of our total research and development expenses have been invested in developing UWB technology. The Company anticipates that it will continue to invest a significant amount of its research and development efforts in UWB technology over the next two years. Based on its current development activities, the Company anticipates its first UWB production chip in the second half of 2005. 4 System Products Professional Products The professional product line provides a broad range of digital video solutions for the specialized video consumer, videographer and broadcast professional. Our product line includes products in the categories of Video Acquisition, Processing and Conversion, and Display and Distribution -- typical steps associated with video content production. Specific product functionality includes, recording video to disk, character generating, digital video mixing, digital video file conversion, and format/resolution scaling. Video Acquisition. FireStoreTM, is the first direct to disk converter that can format the DV video format into an instantly editable format for all major editing programs and record this to a standard an IEEE-1394 computer hard drive at the time of acquisition. During the 2003, we broadened the FireStore product line. In August 2003, we introduced the camera -mounted FireStore FS-3, and the FireStore DRDV-5000 variation, which we manufacture for JVC Corporation. In September 2003 we acquired DVUnlimited, a small Hungarian company to assimilate their digital video file conversion programs into the FireStore line, as a suite of utility software. The FireStore DR-DV5000 DV disk recorder was given the Vidy Award for Best of Show at this year's National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Expo from the Videography Division of United Entertainment Media, which includes Videography, DigitalTV, Government Video and Digital Cinema magazines. Processing and Conversion. Post-acquisition intermediate steps in the video production process are served by our MXPro family of digital video mixers and our TitleMaker video titling products. Display and Distribution. On the presentation side of the Video production workflow, our CenterStage video processors bring high quality video to front or rear-projection, plasma, CRT, and LCD displays used in today's home theaters and professional presentation rooms. The CenterStage CS-1 received the Scaler Of The Year Award from The Perfect Vision magazine based on its performance, innovation and value. The CenterStage CS-HD received the EXCITE Award, given for Excellence in Custom-Install Products by CustomRetailer magazine. These products are sold through a network of national and international distributors in more than 90 countries worldwide. Consumer Products TView, our consumer line of scan converters, builds on PC-to-TV convergence technology. The TView products, which are sub-categorized Gold, Silver and Micro for performance and description, turn any standard television into a large screen computer display. The product line targets presenters, educators, trainers and the rapidly expanding gamers market. The iTView Mac, targets the Apple iMac and eMac, and is our latest product release for these channels. The majority of the products in the consumer line integrate the core technology provided by our FS400 family of Semiconductors. The TView Gold product accepts computer desktop resolutions up to 1600x1280 at millions of colors on both Window and Mac platforms. Much like the professional products, the TView line is offered in multiple forms including a portable version for mobile users. Research and Development We continue to invest heavily in research and development. Of the $4.3 million invested on research and development in 2003, approximately 56% was in ASIC chip development and support activities, with the remainder to support new products for the professional and home theater markets. Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights As of March 10, 2004, we held four patents and one pending application (combining five previous provisional patent applications) in the United States. Certain of these patents have also been filed and issued in countries outside the United States. Historically, we have relied principally upon a combination of copyrights, common law trademarks and trade secret laws to protect the proprietary rights to products that we market under the FOCUS, Videonics and TView brand names. Upon joining us, employees and consultants are required to execute agreements providing for the non-disclosure of confidential information and the assignment of proprietary know-how and inventions developed on our behalf. In addition, we seek to protect trade secrets and know-how through contractual restrictions with vendors and certain large customers. 5 There can be no assurance that these measures will adequately protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information or that others will not independently develop products or technology that are equivalent or superior to ours. Because of the rapid pace of technological innovation in our markets, we believe that our success must generally rely upon the creative skills and experience of our employees, the frequency of new product offerings and enhancements, product pricing and performance features, a diversified marketing strategy, and the quality and reliability of support services. Marketing and Sales Strategy Most electronic equipment manufacturers launch new technologies at industry conferences such as COMDEX, the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Expo. In addition to attending these events, we also visit major conferences in our target markets. It is our experience that attendance at these conferences adds to our name recognition and market acceptance. In 2003, we continued to concentrate on the semiconductor and video system product lines. While we believe that the semiconductor market offers the best potential for future growth, we also recognize our video system products remain an important and substantial contributor to our growth. Our semiconductor products target the cable, Internet appliance, gaming and home entertainment industries. We plan to continue our marketing efforts and vigorously pursue the semiconductor market for its technology in 2004, building on our existing agreements in the TV, PC, Video Conferencing and Internet appliance markets. We also expect to concentrate our marketing efforts toward those OEMs which dominate their respective markets and which have the manufacturing, sales and distribution networks in place to capitalize on the forecasted growth for the TV-to-PC convergence products over the next five years. Distribution In the United States and Canada, we market and sell our products through the following channels: o National resellers such as Micro Center, Fry's Electronics, and J&R Music World; o National distributors such as Ingram Micro, D&H Distributing and DBL Distributing; o Third-party mail order resellers such as B&H Photo and CDW; o Video Value Added Resellers for ProAV Products; o Direct to our customers via our Web site; o Direct to our semiconductor customers, and o Sales through OEM relationships Internationally, our products are sold directly to certain large semiconductor customers, resellers, independent mail order companies and system and semiconductor distributors in numerous countries, including France, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Australia, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, and the Republic of Korea. Customer Support We believe that our future success will depend, in part, upon the continued strength of customer relationships. In an effort to ensure customer satisfaction, we currently provide customer service and technical support through a five-days-per-week "hot line" telephone service. We use 800 telephone numbers for customer service and a local telephone number for technical support (the customer pays for the phone charge on technical support). The customer service and support lines are currently staffed by technicians who provide advice free of charge to ensure customer satisfaction and obtain valuable feedback on new product concepts. In order to educate our telephone support personnel, we periodically conduct in-house training programs and seminars on new products and technology advances in the industry. We offer this same level of support for our entire domestic market including direct market customers who purchase our products through computer superstores or system integrators. Internationally, we also provide technical support to international resellers and distributors who, in turn, give local support to their customers. We provide customers with a one to three-year warranty on all products and will repair or replace a defective product still under warranty coverage. The majority of defective product returns are repaired or replaced and returned to customers within ten business days. Our semiconductor group provides application support to its customers through its own application engineers located both in the United States and in Taiwan as well as through application engineers employed by our representatives and distributors. 6 Competition We currently compete with other developers of PC-to-TV conversion products and of videographic integrated circuits. Although we believe that we are a leader in the PC-to-TV conversion product marketplace, the video graphic integrated circuit market is intensely competitive and characterized by rapid technological innovations. This has resulted in new product introductions over relatively short time periods with frequent advances in price/performance ratios. Competitive factors in these markets include product performance, functionality, product quality and reliability, as well as volume pricing discounts, customer service, customer support, marketing capability, corporate reputation, brand recognition and increases in relative price/performance ratios for products serving these markets. In the PC-to-TV scan converter market, our biggest competitor is AVerMedia. In the video graphic integrated circuits market, we compete with Conexant, Philips, and Chrontel. Many of our system products are marketed to professional broadcast studios, post-production houses, video conferencing centers and the elite videographer. Our system products compete for market share with Datavideo, Extron, and other niche manufacturers. Some of our competitors have greater technical and capital resources, more marketing experience, and larger research and development staffs than we have in the video graphic integrated circuits market. With an aggressive effort, our competitors could severely affect our business. We believe that we compete favorably on the basis of product quality and technical benefits and features. We also believe we provide competitive pricing, extended warranty coverage, and strong customer relationships, including selling, servicing and after-market support for our finished products. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future against existing companies or new entrants to the marketplace. Manufacturing We rely on subcontractors who operate under two different models in the process of manufacturing our systems products. The first subcontractor type utilizes components that we purchase and then send to the sub manufacturer who in turn manufactures and tests board level subassemblies. The products that incorporate these subassemblies are completed, tested and distributed at our facility in Campbell, California. This model provides for higher margin and control in a lower volume product The second subcontractor type builds the entire product as designed and specified by us for a fixed price. The second is a true turnkey manufacturer. The turnkey house is responsible for component procurement, board level assembly, product assembly, quality control testing and final pack-out. For certain commercial PC-to-TV video conversion products, turnkey manufacturers ship directly to the OEM customer and forward-shipping information to us for billing. Non-turnkey manufacturing for system products is subcontracted to a company located in Mexico. We believe that the turnkey model is applicable to our higher-volume products, and that it helps lower inventory and staffing. Our three turnkey manufacturers accounted for approximately over 65% of our product manufacturing capabilities in 2003. One manufacturer, based in Taiwan, supplies set top box finished products. A manufacturer in Korea provides 100% of our ASIC production. Another manufacturer in California supplies certain of our professional products. Under the turnkey model, quality control is maintained through standardized quality assurance practices at the build site and random testing of finished products as they arrive at our fulfillment center. Management believes that the turnkey model helps us to lower inventory and staff requirements, maintain better quality control and product flexibility, achieve quicker product turns and improved cash flow. All customer returns are processed through our fulfillment center. Upon receipt of a returned product, a trained technician tests the product to diagnose the problem. If a product is found to be defective the unit is either returned to the turnkey subcontractor for rework and repair or is repaired by us and returned to the customer. The majority of defective product returns are repaired or replaced and returned to customers within ten business days. Personnel As of December 31, 2003, we employed 77 people on a full-time basis, of whom 25 are in research and development, 21 in marketing and sales, 3 in customer support, 22 in operations, and 6 in finance and administration. 7 Backlog At December 31, 2003, we had a backlog of approximately $1,076,000 for products ordered by customers as compared to a backlog of $223,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $853,000 or 383%. We do not believe backlog for products ordered by customers is a meaningful indicator of sales that can be expected for a particular time period since the order patterns of our customers in the past have demonstrated that backlog is episodic. See also Risk Factors "Backlog should not be construed as indicative of future revenue or performance." Recent Developments On January 28, 2004, we announced that we had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code) to acquire substantially all the assets and assume certain liabilities of Visual Circuits Corporation (Visual Circuits), located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, solely in exchange for 3,805,453 shares of our voting common stock, subject to certain adjustments. Founded in 1991, Visual Circuits is a leading manufacturer and developer of integrated hardware, software and network products that manage, schedule, distribute, store and present digital video in commercial-market media applications. Visual Circuits' products are found worldwide in retail, entertainment, education and healthcare facilities and range from circuit boards to standard and high-definition network-storage media appliances. Its products are sold primarily through system integrators and commercial AV dealers. Visual Circuits' products are designed to serve both Pro AV and IT requirements. The acquisition is subject to the approval of Visual Circuits' shareholders. The acquisition is anticipated to close by April 30, 2004, and will require approval and a declaration of effectiveness by the SEC of an S-4 registration statement covering the FOCUS Enhancements voting common shares to be issued to Visual Circuits. On March 2, 2004 we announced that we had completed the acquisition of COMO Computer & Motion GmbH (COMO), located in Kiel, Germany, through the issuance of approximately 795,000 shares of the our common stock. We may also issue an additional approximately 46,000 shares of our common stock, to COMO's shareholders in the event certain conditions are met at the end of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005. Founded in 1990, COMO manufactures and distributes digital video solutions. COMO's key products are Digital Media Management Server Systems, Hard Disk Video Recorder, Videomixer PCI Boards, and Videosignal Transcoder. COMO products are sold worldwide and can be found in Broadcast and Industrial Applications. These acquisitions will have a material impact on Focus' operations and financial condition. We anticipate costs associated with these acquisitions, including legal, accounting and associated finder's fees to exceed $400,000. It is not possible at this time to predict the actual costs because of the ongoing nature of the acquisitions. Furthermore, although it is not possible to determine the amount, we expect increased compensation and general administrative costs due to the acquisitions as we add employees and additional offices. These costs should be offset somewhat by increased revenues, however, it is not possible to determine the revenues that will be generated by the acquisitions. For a further discussion these forward-looking statements and the risks associated with the acquisitions, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - Year ended December 31, 2003 compared to December 31, 2002 - Liquidity and Capital Resources," and "-Risk Factors." 8 Item 2.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results Discussions of certain matters in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and as such, may involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by the use of words or phrases such as "believe", "plan", "expect", "intend", "anticipate", "estimate", "project", "forecast", "may increase", "may fluctuate", "may improve" and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will", "should", "would", and "could". In particular, statements contained in this document which are not historical facts (including, but not limited to, statements concerning anticipated revenues, anticipated operating expense levels, potential new products and orders, and such expense levels relative to our total revenues) constitute forward looking statements and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results of operations and financial condition have varied and may in the future vary significantly from those stated in any forward looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, without limitation, the availability of capital to fund our future cash needs, reliance on major customers, history of operating losses, market acceptance of our products, technological obsolescence, competition, component supply problems and protection of proprietary information, as well as the accuracy of our internal estimates of revenue and operating expense levels. For a discussion of these factors and some of the factors that might cause such a difference see also " - Risks Factors." These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. Critical Accounting Policies The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to contract revenues, customer programs and incentives, product returns, accounts receivable allowances, inventory valuation allowances, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, recoverability of capitalized software development costs, the value of equity instruments issued for services, the recoverability of goodwill and other intangibles related to acquisitions, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We record estimated reductions to revenue for product returns based primarily on historical return rates, return policies and price protection arrangements. In addition, we sometimes accept returns for stock balancing and negotiate accommodations to customers, which includes price discounts, credits and returns when demand for specific products fall below expectations. If market conditions were to decline, we could experience an increase in the volume of returns. Beginning in 2001 we recognized contract revenue and profit as work progressed on a long-term, fixed price contract using the percentage-of-completion method, which relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. We followed this method since reasonably dependable estimates of the revenue and costs applicable to various stages of the contract could be made. Recognized revenues and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. Revisions in profit estimates are charged to income in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We assess collectibility based on a number of factors, including credit-worthiness and past transaction history with the customer. Although collateral is generally not requested, the Company, in certain situations, will require confirmed letters of credit or cash in advance of shipping to its customers. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While we engage in product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product 12 failure rates. Should actual product failure rates differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than our projections, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Our policy on capitalized software costs determines the timing of our recognition of certain development costs. In addition, this policy determines whether the cost is classified as development expense or cost of revenues. We use professional judgment in determining whether development costs meet the criteria for immediate expense or capitalization. Our business acquisitions have resulted in goodwill and other intangible assets, which affect the amount of future period amortization expense and possible impairment expense that we will incur. In assessing the recoverability of our goodwill and other intangibles we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets not previously recorded. We performed our annual impairment assessment of goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2003. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. Year ended December 31, 2003 compared to December 31, 2002 The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, income and expense items included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, expressed as a percentage of net sales (amounts in thousands, except percentages): December 31, % of December 31, % of Percent 2003 Sales 2002 Sales Change Change -------- ----- -------- ------ -------- ------ Net revenues ...................... $ 26,575 100% $ 17,312 100% $ 9,263 54% Cost of revenues .................. 17,428 66 11,015 64 6,413 58 -------- --- -------- --- -------- ---- Gross profit ...................... 9,147 34 6,297 36 2,850 45 -------- --- -------- --- -------- ---- Operating expenses: Sales, marketing and support .... 4,313 16 4,878 28 (565) (12) General and administrative ...... 1,751 7 2,103 12 (352) (17) Research and development ........ 4,277 16 4,022 23 255 6 Amortization .................... 577 2 942 5 (365) (39) Restructuring (recovery) expense (29) -- 96 1 (125) (130) -------- --- -------- --- -------- ---- Total operating expenses .......... 10,889 41 12,041 70 (1,152) (10) -------- --- -------- --- -------- ---- Loss from operations ..............

For the year ended December 31, 2003, net sales of system products (professional and consumer) to distributors, retailers and VAR's were approximately $13,986,000 as compared to $14,401,000 in 2002, a decrease of $415,000 or 2%. The decrease between comparison periods is primarily the result of a decrease in sales of our consumer products as a result of reduced educational spending due to budgetary constraints at the state and local level and the discontinuance of sales of certain of our products. Our systems business has decreased as a result of the discontinuance of certain of our older products as a result of obsolete components but has been offset by increased sales of the Company's newest product introductions, including FireStore. 13 For the year ended December 31, 2003, net sales of semiconductor products to distributors and OEM customers, which includes contract revenues, were approximately $12,589,000 as compared to $2,911,000 for the same period in 2002, an increase of $9,678,000 or 332%. The increase in semiconductor sales for the year comparison periods is primarily attributable to sales of our FS454 semiconductor chip, which were primarily to Microsoft, a significant customer. Sales of our FS454 accounted for approximately $9,918,000 or 37% of the Company's total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003. No such product sales were made to Microsoft in the year ended December 31, 2002. Offsetting the increase in revenues between comparison periods was a decrease in contract revenues of $759,000 as the Company completed the development of an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) for the same significant customer that began in June 2001 and finished in June 2002. Under this development contract the Company recorded total revenues of $2.1 million. In January 2004, the Company issued a press release indicating that it does not expect further orders from Microsoft with respect to the FS454 semiconductor chip. See Risk Factors - " We depend on a few customers for a high percentage of our revenues and the loss or failure to pay of any one of these customers could result in a substantial decline in our revenues and profits". As of December 31, 2003, the Company had a sales order backlog of approximately $1,076,000 compared to $223,000 as of December 31, 2002, an increase of $853,000. Backlog consists primarily of semiconductor chip orders, including FS454 orders from Microsoft. The increase between December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 is primarily the result of FS454 orders from Microsoft. See Risk Factors - "Backlog should not be construed as indicative of future revenue or performance". See also "Liquidity and Capital Resources" regarding recent acquisition activity. Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues were $17,428,000, or 66% of net revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared with $11,015,000, or 64% of net revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002. Included in cost of revenues for 2002, are costs of $499,000 related to contract revenues. The Company's gross profit margin as a percentage of net revenues for the years 2003 and 2002 was 34% and 36%, respectively. Although the Company had anticipated higher margins in 2003 when compared to 2002, because of below average gross margin business the Company conducted with one of its significant customers, as mentioned above, this did not occur. This significant customer represented approximately 37% of the Company's revenues for 2003. Sales to this customer were made at a gross profit margin percentage of less than 30%, primarily as a result of volume discounts provided. Sales, Marketing and Support Expenses Sales, marketing and support expenses were $4,313,000, or 16% of net revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared with $4,878,000, or 28% of net revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $565,000 or 12%. The decrease in sales, marketing and support expenses is primarily the result of reduced advertising and tradeshow expenses as the Company reduced its expenses to accommodate its tight cash position. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $1,751,000 or 7% of net revenues, as compared with $2,103,000 or 12% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $352,000 or 17%. The decrease in general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 is primarily attributable to reduced personnel expenditures and consulting expenses. Personnel expenditures are lower year over year as the Company's Chief Executive Officer retired in September 2002 and was replaced by the Company's Chief Operating Officer. This resulted in reduced executive compensation in 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company also incurred moving expenses of approximately $65,000 associated with the relocation of the Chief Operating Officer to California and charges of approximately $238,000 associated with the issuance of warrants in connection with consulting services. For a discussion of pending and recent acquisitions, and their potential impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations, see "-Risk Factors" and "Item 1. Description of Business - Recent Developments." 14 Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 were approximately $4,277,000 or 16% of net revenues, as compared with $4,022,000 or 23% of net revenues, for year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $255,000 or 6%. The increase in research and development expenses between the comparison periods is primarily because no engineering work was performed under contract for the year ended December 31, 2003 and, as such, no research and development personnel expenses were allocated from research and development expenses to costs of revenues during such period. For the year ended December 31, 2002, costs related to contract revenues, which included research and development personnel expenses totaled $499,000. Amortization Expense Amortization expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $577,000 or 2% of net revenues, as compared with $942,000 or 5% of net revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $365,000 or 39%. The decrease in terms of absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues is primarily the result of the Company's completing amortization of its remaining capitalized software development expenses. As of December 31, 2003, no impairment of goodwill had been recognized. Restructuring Expense For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company reduced its restructuring expense accrual by $29,000 as it was able to settle amounts due on the closure of its Chelmsford facility for an amount less than originally estimated. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded restructuring expenses totaling $96,000 related to the closure of its Chelmsford, MA, facility. This amount is comprised of the remaining lease obligations and property fees for the Chelmsford facility. Interest Expense Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $200,000, or 1% of net revenues, as compared to $246,000 or 1% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $46,000. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to lower interest rates and a decrease in debt obligations. Other Expense Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $336,000 (none for the year ended December 31, 2003), which was primarily comprised of a charge of $334,000 related to the repricing of warrants associated with the termination of an equity line of credit. Other Income Other income for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $239,000, as compared $357,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $118,000. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 are primarily attributable to the settlement of debts to various trade vendors for less than original amounts accrued. 15 Year ended December 31, 2002 compared to December 30, 2001 The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, income and expense items included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, expressed as a percentage of net sales (amounts in thousands, except percentages): December 31, % of December 31, % of Percent 2002 Sales 2001 Sales Change Change -------- ----- --------- ----- ------- ------ Net revenues $ 17,312 100% $ 23,308 100% $(5,996) (26)% Cost of revenues..................... 11,015 64 14,837 64 (3,822) (26) -------- ----- --------- ----- ------- ------ Gross profit......................... 6,297 36 8,471 36 (2,174) (26) -------- ----- --------- ----- ------- ------ Operating expenses: Sales, marketing and support....... 4,878 28 5,989 26 (1,111) (19) General and administrative......... 2,103 12 2,191 9 (88) (4) Research and development........... 4,022 23 3,352 14 670 20 Amortization....................... 942 5 2,760 12 (1,818) (66) Restructuring Expense.............. 96 1 33 -- 63 191 Write-off of in-process technology. -- -- 505 2 (505) 100 -------- ----- --------- ----- ------- ------ Total operating expenses............. 12,041 70 14,830 64 (2,789) (19) -------- ----- --------- ----- ------- ------ Loss from operations.................

For the year ended December 31, 2002, net sales of system products (professional and consumer) to distributors, retailers and VAR's were approximately $14,401,000 as compared to $19,519,000 in 2001, a decrease of $5,118,000 or 26%. Overall sales of our system products has been trending lower as a result of a reduction of nationwide computer sales, decreased educational spending, a decrease in business to business sales as a result of the slowdown in the economy and the Company's discontinuance of sales of its products to certain retail accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2002, net sales of semiconductor products to distributors and OEM customers, which includes contract revenues, were approximately $2,911,000 as compared to $3,789,000 for the same period in 2001, a decrease of $878,000 or 23% The decrease in OEM sales is primarily attributable to a decrease in contract revenues as the Company reported contract revenues of $759,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $633,000 from the $1,392,000 the Company reported for the year ended December 31, 2001. In addition, semiconductor sales have declined due primarily to a decrease in scan converter sales as a result of the slowdown in the economy. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had a sales order backlog of approximately $223,000. Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues were $11,015,000, or 64% of net revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared with $14,837,000, or 64% of net revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001. Included in cost of revenues are $499,000 and $1,110,000 of costs related contract revenues for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company's gross profit margin as a percentage of net revenues for the years 2002 and 2001 was 36%. 16 Sales, Marketing and Support Expenses Sales, marketing and support expenses were $4,878,000, or 28% of net revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared with $5,989,000, or 26% of net revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of $1,111,000 or 19%. The decrease in sales, marketing and support expenses is primarily the result of reduced personnel expenditures including payroll, and travel expenses as we reduced our full time sales, marketing and support personnel from 31 employees at December 31, 2001 to 21 employees at December 31, 2002, decreased commissions primarily as a result of decreased revenue and revisions to our commission structure, and reduced marketing expenses as we adjusted our advertising and tradeshow expenses to better match our revenue. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $2,103,000 or 12% of net revenues, as compared with $2,191,000 or 9% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of $88,000 or 4%. The decrease in general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 is primarily attributable to reduced personnel expenditures including payroll, and travel expenses as we reduced our full time general and administrative personnel from nine employees at December 31, 2001 to four employees at December 31, 2002, reduced legal expenses, and the receipt of an insurance deductible refund of $100,000. The decrease was partially offset by charges of approximately $238,000 associated with the issuance of warrants in connection with consulting services and increased investor relations expenses as we hired an outside investor relations firm beginning in March 2002. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 were approximately $4,022,000 or 23% of net revenues, as compared with $3,352,000 or 14% of net revenues, for year ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $670,000 or 20%. The increase in research and development expenses was due primarily to a reduction in engineering work performed under contract and, as such, less research and development personnel expenses were allocated to costs of sales than in the prior year. Amortization Expense Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $942,000 or 5% of net revenues, as compared with $2,760,000 or 12% of net revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of $1,818,000 or 66%. The decrease in terms of absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues is primarily due to the Company's adoption of FAS 142 on January 1, 2002, under which goodwill and assembled workforce is no longer amortized. On a pro forma basis had the amortization of goodwill and the assembled workforce intangible asset ceased on January 1, 2001, the Company's amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2001, would have decreased by $1,880,000, and the Company would have reported a net loss of $4,778,000 or $0.15 per share. As of December 31, 2002, no impairment of goodwill had been recognized. Restructuring Expense For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded restructuring expenses totaling $96,000 related to the closure of its Chelmsford, MA, facility. This amount is comprised of the remaining lease obligations and property fees for the Chelmsford facility. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded restructuring expenses totaling $33,000 related to the closure of its Wilmington, MA, facility. 17 Write-off of In-Process Technology In connection with the acquisition of Videonics during the first quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a charge for purchased in-process technology of $505,000. Interest Expense Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $246,000, or 1% of net revenues, as compared to $323,000 or 1% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of $77,000. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to lower interest rates and a decrease in debt obligations. Other Expense Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $336,000, as compared $438,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of $102,000. Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 is primarily comprised of a charge of $334,000 related to the repricing of warrants associated with the termination of an equity line of credit. Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2001 is primarily attributable to charges of $438,000 associated with the untimely registering of AMRO Investment International's shares. See "Note 12.-Stockholders Equity - Common Stock on page F-19 for more information." Other Income Other income for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $357,000, as compared $446,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of $89,000. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 are primarily attributable to the settlement of debts for less than original amounts accrued Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2003 2002 ------ ------ (In thousands) Cash and cash equivalents................................. $3,731 $1,310 Net cash used in operating activities.....................

(277) 2,297 Net cash provided by financing activities................. 5,312 3,568 The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company incurred net losses of $1,698,000, $5,957,000 and $6,658,000, and reported net cash used in operating activities of $2,614,000, $5,004,000 and $3,452,000, respectively. These factors indicate that the Company may potentially be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to return to profitability and significant positive cash flows. Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through the public and private sale of common stock, proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants, short-term borrowing from private lenders, and favorable credit arrangements with vendors and suppliers. We do not have a bank line of credit. 18 In 2003, net cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of a net loss of $1,698,000 adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $743,000 and other income associated with the settlement of debt totaling $239,000, an increase in accounts payable of $363,000 an increase in accrued liabilities of $279,000 offset by an increase in accounts receivable totaling $757,000, primarily related to the increase in revenues associated with sales of the FS454 to Microsoft, and an increase in inventory totaling $1,143,000, primarily related to inventory positions in the Company's newest products including the FS454 and FireStore. In 2002, net cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of a net loss of $5,957,000 adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $1,226,000, deferred compensation expense of $122,000, general and administrative expenses associated with the issuance of stock and warrants for consulting and other services totaling $238,000, other income associated with settlement of debt totaling $311,000, other expense associated with repricing and acceleration of warrants totaling $350,000, a decrease in accounts receivable totaling $1,686,000, a decrease in inventory totaling $1,659,000 offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $1,795,000 and the payment of a legal judgment totaling $2,073,000. In 2001, net cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of a net loss of $6,658,000 adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $3,166,000, the write-off of in-process technology related to the acquisition of Videonics totaling $505,000, deferred compensation expense of $113,000, other expense associated with a delayed registration of $438,000, a decrease in account payable totaling $178,000 and an increase in accounts receivable of $1,378,000 offset partially by an decrease in inventories of $590,000. In January 2004, we were informed that the Company should not expect further orders of the FS454 from Microsoft. This customer represented 37% of the Company's revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 64% and 40% of the Company's revenues for the third and fourth quarter of 2003, respectively. The Company recorded gross margins as a percentage of sales, before commissions and selling expenses below 30% to this customer. The loss of this customer will have a material adverse effect on the Company's revenues, operating profit and liquidity, especially when compared to the third and fourth quarter of 2003, as the Company began its initial shipments to the customer in the third quarter of 2003 and continued sales through the fourth quarter for the customer's seasonal holiday sales. However, as the product was manufactured by one of our contract manufacturers, we were able to meet the customer's requirements without an increase in our staffing and operations. Although there can be no assurances, we do not anticipate any significant adjustments to the Company's staffing or operations or significant adjustments to the carrying value of our FS454 inventory, as a result of this loss. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $277,000 as compared to net cash provided by investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 of $2,297,000 and 1,397,000, respectively. In 2003, net cash used in investing activities was related to the purchase of property and equipment of $122,000, the acquisition of developed technology from DVUnlimited, which resulted in a net cash outflow of $57,000 and costs incurred with the pending acquisition of Visual Circuits Corporation and COMO Computer and Motion GmbH of $98,000. In 2002, cash provided in investing activities was principally from the decrease in restricted collateral deposit of $2,363,000, offset by the purchase of property and equipment of $66,000. In 2001, cash was provided by a reduction in restricted certificates of deposit of approximately $1,263,000 and net cash of $360,000 provided through the acquisition of Videonics on January 16, 2001, offset partially by additions of $196,000 to property and equipment. The acquisition of Videonics was accounted for as a purchase and made through the issuance of approximately 5,135,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Net cash provided from financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $5,312,000, $3,568,000 and $2,152,000, respectively. In 2003, the Company received $1,920,000 in net proceeds from private offerings of common stock and $3,436,000 from the exercise of common stock options and warrants offset by $44,000 of capital lease obligation repayments. In 2002, the Company received $3,121,000 in net proceeds from private offerings of common stock and $634,000 from the exercise of common stock options and warrants which were partially offset by $145,000 in repayments on convertible notes to a stockholder. In 2001, cash provided by financing activities occurred primarily from the issuance of notes payable to a stockholder and director of the Company of $2,650,000 and from the exercise of options and warrants of $199,000 offset by repayments of $400,000 to a bank and costs incurred in registration of common stock of $182,000. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had working capital of $5,696,000 as compared to working capital of $1,551,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $4,145,000. The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations in each of the three years ended December 31, 2003 and as such has been dependent upon raising money for short and long-term cash needs through debt, proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants, and the sale of common stock in private placements as discussed above. 19 At December 31, 2003, the Company owed Carl Berg, a Company director and shareholder, approximately $4.4 million in principal and accrued interest on various notes. In September 2003, Mr. Berg agreed to convert such debt and accrued interest into preferred and common stock on conversion terms agreed to more than two years ago. As of December 31, 2003, the conversion would result in the issuance of approximately 2,201,139 shares of common stock and 1,257 shares of preferred stock convertible into an additional 1,257,000 shares of common stock. The conversion is expected to be completed as soon as practical, but in no event sooner than March 15, 2004. See "Note 8 - Notes Payable" beginning on page F-15 for more information. Additionally, in December 2002, Mr. Berg provided Samsung Semiconductor Inc., the Company's contracted ASIC manufacturer, with a personal guarantee to secure the Company's working capital requirements for ASIC purchase order fulfillment. Mr. Berg agreed to provide the personal guarantee on the Company's behalf without additional cost or collateral, as Mr. Berg maintains a secured priority interest in substantially all the Company's assets. At December 31, 2003, the Company owed Samsung $562,000, under net 30 terms. In addition to regularly reviewing its cost structure, management is continually reviewing its product lines to identify how to enhance existing or create new distribution channels. During 2003, the Company released several new products. Many of these new products are expected to take hold in their respective markets and provide additional revenue to the Company in 2004. Additionally, although no assurances can be given, the Company expects to release three more new products in 2004. There can be no assurances as to the amount of revenue these new products will produce. Even if the Company's new products are introduced as planned and are modestly successful, the Company anticipates that its continued significant investment in research and development, primarily in the area of Ultra Wideband will require the Company to find a partner to fund a portion of the continued development and or raise additional funds to support its working capital needs and meet existing debt obligations. There is no assurance that management's plans will be successful or if successful, that they will result in the Company continuing as a going concern. During the year ended December 31, 2003, Focus raised a significant amount of its working capital through the issuance of its common stock. In July 2003, Focus sold 2,200,000 shares of its common stock in a private placement to two independent third parties, receiving net proceeds of approximately $1,920,000. The shares were sold at a 20% discount to the 5-day average closing bid prices of our common stock prior to closing. In connection with the private placement, Focus also issued warrants to purchase 467,500 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.44 per share. Ultimate future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including cash flow from operations, continued progress in research and development programs, competing technological and market developments, and our ability to market our products successfully. Additionally, subsequent to December 31, 2003, the Company has announced the acquisition of COMO and its intent to acquire Visual Circuits. The costs associated with these acquisitions, including legal, accounting and associated finder's fees, are expected to exceed $400,000. The Company believes that it is likely that additional financings will be required in 2004 as the Company continues to implement its business plan. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had no commitments from any other sources to provide additional equity or debt financing. As such, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be raised. Moreover, any equity financing would result in dilution to our then-existing stockholders and any additional debt financing may result in higher interest expense. 20 Summary of Certain Contractual Obligations as of December 31, 2003 Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Period (in thousands) --------------------------------------------------------- Less Than After 5 Total 1 year 2-3 Years 4-5 Years Years ------- ------- --------- --------- ------ Notes payable to stockholder(1) $ 3,867 $ -- $3,867 $ -- $ -- Operating leases 788 468 $ 318 2 -- ------- ------ ------ ----- ---- Total $ 4,655 $ 468 $4,185 $ 2 $ -- ======= ====== ====== ===== ==== - ---------------------- (1) In September 2003, Mr. Berg agreed to convert his approximately $3.9 million of debt and $500,000 of accrued interest into preferred and common stock on conversion terms agreed to more than two years ago. As of December 31, 2003, the conversion would result in the issuance of approximately 2,201,139 shares of common stock and 1,257 shares of preferred stock, convertible into 1,257,000 shares of common stock. The conversion is expected to occur in March 2004. Stock Issuances Although we have been successful in the past in raising sufficient capital to fund our operations, there can be no assurance that we will achieve sustained profitability or obtain sufficient financing in the future to provide the liquidity necessary for us to continue operations. On July 2, 2003, we completed the sale of 2,200,000 shares of our common stock in a private placement to two independent third party accredited investors, receiving proceeds of approximately $1,920,000, net of offering costs of $280,000. The shares were sold at an approximate 20% discount to the 5-day average closing bid prices of our common stock prior to closing. In connection with the private placement, we issued warrants to the two investors and a placement agent to purchase a total of 467,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.44 per share. No compensation expense was recorded given that the warrants were issued in connection with the issuance of common stock. The securities issued in connection with this transaction were subsequently registered on a Form S-3, deemed effective on September 17, 2003. Such proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. Effects of Inflation and Seasonality We believe that inflation has not had a significant impact on our sales or operating results. Our business generally has a modestly stronger second and third quarter seasonality. In 2003, our third quarter was accentuated by Microsoft's holiday production schedule. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("SFAS No. 146"), which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) ("EITF 94-3"). SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred and that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Under EITF 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of the Company's commitment to an exit plan. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amounts recognized. In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 in the current year. The recognition and measurement provisions will be applied to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company operating results or financial condition. The FASB issued FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities in January 2003, and a revised interpretation of FIN 46 ("FIN 46-R") in December 2003. FIN 46, as modified by FIN 46-R, requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The Company has not invested in any 21 entities it believes are variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 46, as modified by FIN 46-R to have an impact on its financial position or results of operations. In April 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. The Statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, amends the definition of an underlying derivative to conform it to language used in FASB Interpretation FIN No. 45, and amends certain other existing pronouncements. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. All provisions of the Statement, except those related to forward purchases or sales of "when-issued" securities, should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 149. However, the Company does not believe that it has entered into any contracts that would fall within the scope of SFAS No. 149. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company currently has no financial instruments which meet these requirements. In December 2003, the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104), which codifies, revises and rescinds certain sections of SAB 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, in order to make this interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and SEC rules and regulations. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's operating results or financial condition. Risk Factors You should carefully consider the following risks relating to our business and our common stock, together with the other information described elsewhere in this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially affected, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you might lose all or part of your investment. Risks Related to Our Business We have a long history of operating losses. As of December 31, 2003, we had an accumulated deficit of $63,021,000. We incurred net losses of $1,698,000, $5,957,000, and $6,658,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. There can be no assurance that we will become profitable. Additionally, our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 that recurring losses from operations and our accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty. A significant portion of our revenues are from products that are designed for consumer goods that have seasonal sales. A significant portion of our revenues are subject to risks associated with the sales of certain end products at retail that are seasonal, with a majority of retail sales occurring during the period of September through December. As a result, our annual operating results with respect to sales of semiconductor chips designed into newly introduced products, including Microsoft's Xbox depend, in large part, on sales during the relatively brief holiday season. In January 2004, we announced that we did not expect further orders from Microsoft with respect to Xbox. See "We depend on a few customers for a high percentage of our revenues and the loss or failure to pay of any one of these customers could result in a substantial decline in our revenues and profits" for further information. 22 We may need to raise additional capital, which will result in further dilution of existing and future stockholders. Historically, we have met our short-and long-term extra cash needs through debt and the sale of common stock in private placements because cash flow from operations has been insufficient to fund our operations. Set forth below is information regarding net proceeds received recently: Private Offerings Of Issuance of Exercise of Stock Common Stock Debt Options and Warrants ------------ ---- -------------------- Fiscal 2003 $1,920,000 -- $3,437,000 Fiscal 2002 $3,121,000 -- $625,000 Fiscal 2001 -- $2,650,000 $199,000 Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including cash flow from operations, continued progress in research and development programs, competing technological and market developments, and our ability to market our products successfully. If we require additional equity or debt financing in the future, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be raised. Moreover, any equity financing or convertible debt would result in dilution to our then-existing stockholders and could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, any additional debt financing may result in higher interest expense. We anticipate costs associated pending and recently announced acquisitions, including legal, accounting and associated finder's fees to exceed $400,000. Furthermore, because these businesses are not currently profitable, additional cash may be needed to fund operations. Therefore, we believe additional financings will be required in 2004. As of December 31, 2003, we did not have any commitments from any other sources to provide additional equity or debt financing. In the event we are unable to raise additional capital, we may not be able to fund our operations, which could result in the inability to execute our current business plan. We are dependent upon a significant stockholder to meet our interim financing needs. We have relied upon the ability of Carl Berg, a director and significant owner of the Company's common stock for interim financing needs. As of December 31, 2003, we had an aggregate of approximately $4.4 million in debt and accrued interest outstanding to Mr. Berg. Additionally, Mr. Berg has provided Samsung Semiconductor Inc., our contracted ASIC manufacturer, with a personal guarantee to secure our working capital requirements for ASIC purchase order fulfillment. There can be no assurances that Mr. Berg will continue to provide such interim financing or personal guarantees, should we need additional funds or increased credit facilities with its vendors. We have a significant amount of convertible securities that will dilute existing stockholders upon conversion. At December 31, 2003, we had 42,303,185 and 1,904 shares of common and preferred shares issued and outstanding, respectively, and 429,500 warrants and 5,188,150 options that are exercisable into shares of common stock. The 1,904 shares of preferred stock are convertible into 1,904,000 shares of the Company's voting common stock. Furthermore, we may grant 1,523,045 additional stock options to our employees, officers, directors and consultants under our current stock option plans. We also may issue additional shares in acquisitions. Any additional grant of options under existing or future plans or issuance of shares in connection with an acquisition will further dilute existing stockholders. In addition, in September 2003, Mr. Berg agreed to convert his approximate $4.4 million of debt and accrued interest into preferred and common stock on conversion terms agreed to more than two years ago. As of December 31, 2003, the conversion would result in the issuance of approximately 2,201,136 shares of common stock and 1,257 shares of preferred stock convertible into an additional 1,257,000 shares of common stock. Due to a recently negotiated sale of a portion of Mr. Berg's position in Focus to an institutional investor, the conversion is expected to be completed as soon as practical, but in no event sooner than March 15, 2004, which is six months from the date of the recent sale, the earliest date permitted by SEC Section 16(b) and appropriate securities laws. 23 Any acquisitions of companies or technologies by us, including our proposed acquisition of Visual Circuits' assets, and recently announced acquisition of COMO Computer and Motion GmbH may result in distraction of our management and disruptions to our business. We may acquire or make investments in complementary businesses, technologies, services or products if appropriate opportunities arise, as was the case in January 2004 when we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all the assets of Visual Circuits Corporation, and in March 2004 when we announced that we had acquired the stock of COMO Computer & Motion GmbH. From time to time, we may engage in discussions and negotiations with companies regarding the possibility of its acquiring or investing in their businesses, products, services or technologies. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition or investment candidates in the future, or if we do identify suitable candidates, we may not be able to make such acquisitions or investments on commercially acceptable terms or at all. If we acquire or invest in another company, we could have difficulty assimilating that company's personnel, operations, technology or products and service offerings. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired company may decide not to work for us. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect the results of operations. Furthermore, we may incur indebtedness or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions and/or pay for the legal, accounting or finders fees, typically associated with an acquisition. The issuance of equity securities could be dilutive to our existing stockholders. In addition, the accounting treatment for any acquisition transaction may result in significant goodwill, which, if impaired, will negatively affect our consolidated results of operations. We rely on certain vendors for a significant portion of our manufacturing. Approximately 65% of the components for our products are manufactured on a turnkey basis by three vendors, Furthertech Company Ltd., Samsung Semiconductor Inc., and Asemtec Corporation. In addition, certain of our products are assembled by a single vendor in Mexico. If these vendors experience production or shipping problems for any reason, we in turn could experience delays in the production and shipping of the Company's products, which would have an adverse effect on its results of operations. We are dependent on our suppliers. We purchase all of the Company's parts from outside suppliers and from time to time experience delays in obtaining some components or peripheral devices. Additionally, we are dependent on sole source suppliers for certain components. There can be no assurance that labor problems, supply shortages or product discontinuations will not occur in the future which could significantly increase the cost, or delay shipment, of our products, which in turn could adversely affect our results of operations. We depend on a few customers for a high percentage of our revenues and the loss or failure to pay of any one of these customers could result in a substantial decline in our revenues and profits. For the year ended December 31, 2003, one customer represented 37% of our total revenues and 24% of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2003. We presently have no reason to believe that this customer lacks the financial resources to pay. We do not have long-term contracts requiring any customer to purchase any minimum amount of products. There can be no assurance that we will continue to receive orders of the same magnitude as in the past from existing customers or will be able to market our current or proposed products to new customers. However, the loss of any major customers, the failure of any such identified customer to pay us, or to discontinue issuance of additional purchase orders would have a material adverse effect on our revenues, results of operation, and business as a whole absent the timely replacement of the associated revenues and profit margins associated with such business. Furthermore, many of our products are dependent upon the overall success of our customers' products, over which we often have no control. To that point, in January 2004, we were informed that we should not expect further FS454 chip orders from Microsoft for the Xbox. FS454 orders, which were primarily to Microsoft, represented 37% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 64% and 40% of our revenues for the third and fourth quarters of 2003, respectively. The loss of Microsoft orders for the FS454 will have a material adverse effect on our revenues and operating profit, especially when compared to the third and fourth quarter of 2003, as we began our initial shipments to the customer in the third quarters of 2003 and continued sales through the fourth quarter for the customer's seasonal holiday sales. However, as the product was manufactured by one of our contract manufacturers, we were able to meet the customer's requirements without an increase in our staffing and operations. Although there can be no assurances, we do not anticipate any significant adjustments to our staffing or operations or significant adjustments to the carrying value of our FS454 inventory, as a result of this loss. 24 Backlog should not be construed as indicative of future revenue or performance. In the past we have experienced quarterly fluctuations in operating results due to the contractual nature of our business and the consequent timing of product orders. In addition, we have historically operated with a small amount of backlog and accordingly its revenues in any quarter have been substantially dependent upon orders booked in that quarter. However, as of December 31, 2003, our total backlog was approximately $1,076,000 compared to $223,000 at December 31, 2002. There can be no assurance that the rate of growth in backlog will continue. For example, on January 28, 2004, we announced that we did not expect further orders from Microsoft with respect to Xbox. This will significantly decrease backlog in the near-term. Furthermore, only a small portion of our backlog is fully funded and many of its customers have the ability to delay delivery or cancel contracts, therefore, there can be no assurance that orders comprising the backlog will be realized as revenue. In any event, quarterly sales and operating results will continue to be affected by the volume and timing of contracts received and performed within the quarter, which are difficult to forecast. Any significant deferral or cancellation of a contract could have a material adverse effect on our operating results in any particular period. Because of these factors, the period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily indicative of future performances. Our quarterly financial results are subject to significant fluctuations. We have been unable in the past to accurately forecast its operating expenses or revenues. Revenues currently depend heavily on volatile customer purchasing patterns. If actual revenues are less than projected revenues, we may be unable to reduce expenses proportionately, and its operating results, cash flows and liquidity would likely be adversely affected. Our products may become obsolete very quickly. The computer peripheral markets are characterized by extensive research and development and rapid technological change resulting in short product life cycles. Development by others of new or improved products, processes or technologies may make our products or proposed products obsolete or less competitive. We must devote substantial efforts and financial resources to enhance our existing products and to develop new products. There can be no assurance that we will succeed with these efforts. We may not be able to protect our proprietary information. As of December 31, 2003, we held four patents and one pending application (combining five previous provisional patent applications) in the United States. Certain of these patents have also been filed and issued in countries outside the United States. We treat our technical data as confidential and rely on internal non-disclosure safeguards, including confidentiality agreements with employees, and on laws protecting trade secrets, to protect its proprietary information. There can be no assurance that these measures will adequately protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information or prove valuable in light of future technological developments. Delays in product development could adversely affect our market position or customer relationships. We have experienced delays in product development in the past and may experience similar delays in the future. Given the short product life cycles in the markets for our products, any delay or unanticipated difficulty associated with new product introductions or product enhancements could cause us to lose customers and damage its competitive position. Prior delays have resulted from numerous factors, such as: o changing product specifications; o difficulties in hiring and retaining necessary personnel; o difficulties in reallocating engineering resources and other resource limitations; o difficulties with independent contractors; o changing market or competitive product requirements; o unanticipated engineering complexity; o undetected errors or failures in software and hardware; and 25 o delays in the acceptance or shipment of products by customers. If we are unable to respond to rapid technological change in a timely manner, then we may lose customers to our competitors. To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the responsiveness, functionality and features of our products. Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, changes in user and customer requirements and preferences and frequent new product and service introductions. If competitors introduce products and services embodying new technologies, or if new industry standards and practices emerge, then our existing proprietary technology and systems may become obsolete. Future success will depend on our ability to do the following: o both license and internally develop leading technologies useful in its business; o enhance existing technologies; o develop new services and technology that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of prospective customers; and o respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. Developing proprietary technology entails significant technical and business risks. We may use new technologies ineffectively, or we may fail to adapt proprietary technology and transaction processing systems to customer requirements or emerging industry standards. If we face material delays in introducing new services, products and enhancements, then our customers may forego the use of our services and use those of our competitors. During much of the first half of 2003, our common stock did not meet the minimum bid price requirement to remain listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. If we were to be delisted, it could make trading in our stock more difficult. Our voting common stock is traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. There are various quantitative listing requirements for a company to remain listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. We are required to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for our common stock. Between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2003, Focus voting common stock closed below $1.00 a share on 64 of 252 trading days. On March 18, 2003, we were notified by the Nasdaq that our common stock did not meet the minimum bid price requirement to remain listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. However, on May 21, 2003, we received notification from Nasdaq that we had regained compliance and the matter was closed. We must maintain stockholders' equity of $2,500,000. At December 31, 2003, we had total stockholders' equity of $7,952,000. To the extent we incur net losses and do not raise additional capital, our stockholders' equity will be reduced. If we fail to meet these Nasdaq SmallCap requirements, our common stock could be delisted, eliminating the only established trading market for our shares. Any sales of our voting common stock at a discount to market may reduce the trading price of its common stock to a level below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement. In the event we are delisted from Nasdaq, we would be forced to list our shares on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board or some other quotation medium, such as pink sheets, depending on our ability to meet the specific listing requirements of those quotation systems. As a result an investor might find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate price quotations for, such shares. Delisting might also reduce the visibility, liquidity, and price of our voting common stock. Our common stock price is volatile. The market price for our voting common stock is volatile and has fluctuated significantly to date. For example, between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2003, the per share price has fluctuated between $0.50 and $4.20 per share, closing at $1.56 at March 10, 2004. The trading price of our voting common stock is likely to continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following: 26 o actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results; o announcements of technological innovations, new sales formats or new products or services by Focus or its competitors; o cyclical nature of consumer products using our technology; o changes in financial estimates by us or securities analysts; o changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other multi-media, video scan companies; o announcements by us of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; o additions or departures of key personnel; o additions or losses of significant customers; and o sales of common stock or issuance of other dilutive securities. In addition, the securities markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, and the market prices of the securities of technology companies have been especially volatile. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of common stock, regardless of actual operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of stock, many companies have been the object of securities class action litigation, including us. If we are sued in a securities class action, then it could result in additional substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources. Risks Related to Our Industry International sales are subject to significant risk. Our revenues from outside the United States are subject to inherent risks related thereto, including currency rate fluctuations, the general economic and political conditions in each country. There can be no assurance that the economic crisis and currency issues currently being experienced in certain parts of the world will not reduce demand for our products and therefore have a material adverse effect on our revenue or operating results. Our business is very competitive. The computer peripheral markets are extremely competitive and are characterized by significant price erosion over the life of a product. We currently compete with other developers of video conversion products and with video-graphic integrated circuit developers. Many of our competitors have greater market recognition and greater financial, technical, marketing and human resources. Although we are not currently aware of any announcements by our competitors that would have a material impact on its operations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against existing companies or new entrants to the marketplace. The video production equipment market is highly competitive and is characterized by rapid technological change, new product development and obsolescence, evolving industry standards and significant price erosion over the life of a product. Competition is fragmented with several hundred manufacturers supplying a variety of products to this market. We anticipate increased competition in the video post-production equipment market from both existing manufacturers and new market entrants. Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors in this market. Often our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing, sales and customer support resources, greater name recognition and larger installed customer bases than we possess. In addition, some of our competitors also offer a wide variety of video equipment, including professional video tape recorders, video cameras and other related equipment. In some cases, these competitors may have a competitive advantage based upon their ability to bundle their equipment in certain large system sales. 27 We are exposed to general economic conditions that have resulted in significantly reduced sales levels. If such adverse economic conditions were to continue or worsen, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely impacted. If the adverse economic conditions in the State of California, the United States and throughout the world economy continue or worsen, we may continue to experience a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition. We continue to take actions and charges to reduce our cost of sales and operating expenses in order to address these adverse conditions. A prolonged continuation or worsening of sales trends may require additional actions and charges to reduce cost of sales and operating expenses in subsequent quarters. We may be unable to reduce cost of sales and operating expenses at a rate and to a level consistent with such a future adverse sales environment. If we must undertake further expense reductions, we may incur significant incremental special charges associated with such expense reductions that are disproportionate to sales, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition and operating results. Continuing weakness in the economy could decrease demand for our products, increase delinquencies in payments and otherwise have an adverse impact on our business. Recent corporate bankruptcies, accounting irregularities, and alleged insider wrong doings have negatively affected general confidence in the stock markets and the economy, further depressing the stock market and causing the U.S. Congress to enact sweeping legislation. In an effort to address these growing investor concerns, the U.S. Congress passed, and on July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This sweeping legislation primarily impacts investors, the public accounting profession, public companies, including corporate duties and responsibilities, and securities analysts. Some highlights include establishment of a new independent oversight board for public accounting firms, enhanced disclosure and internal control requirements for public companies and their insiders, required certification by CEO's and CFO's of SEC financial filings, prohibitions on certain loans to offices and directors, efforts to curb potential securities analysts' conflicts of interest, forfeiture of profits by certain insiders in the event financial statements are restated, enhanced board audit committee requirements, whistleblower protections, and enhanced civil and criminal penalties for violations of securities laws. Such legislation and subsequent regulations will increase the costs of securities law compliance for publicly traded companies such as us. Continued terrorism threats and hostilities in the Middle East have had a negative impact on the U.S. economy. The adverse consequences of war and the effects of terrorism have had a negative affect on the U.S. economy. Further conflicts in the Middle East could negatively impact our ability to raise additional funds if needed and our revenues will be adversely affected if consumers and businesses continue to cut back spending. The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome or other viruses may have a negative impact on our business and results of operations. The recent outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, which has had particular impact in China, Hong Kong, and Singapore, could continue to have a negative effect on our operations. Our operations may be impacted by a number of world health-related factors, including, among other things, disrupting operations at our turnkey manufacturer and certain of our distributors and customers located in those areas. If SARS or other viral strains re-emerge in the future, our international and domestic sales and operations could be harmed. 28 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Interest rate risk Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our deposits in money market funds, included within cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheets, and our long-term debt. We place our deposits in money market funds with high credit quality commercial banks. At December 31, 2003, we had three promissory notes payable to Carl Berg, a Company director and shareholder, totaling $3,867,000, bearing interest at prime plus 1%. If short-term interest rates were to increase 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1%), the increased interest expense associated with these promissory notes would not have a material impact on our net loss and cash flows. The table below presents the carrying value, market value and related weighted average interest rates for our cash equivalents and long-term debt as of December 31, 2003 (in thousands except for average interest rates): Carrying Market Average Value Value Interest Rate ----- ----- ------------- Cash and cash equivalents - variable rate.... $3,731 $3,731 0.6% Promissory notes payable - prime plus 1%..... $3,867 $3,867 5.0% Foreign currency risk At December 31, 2003, cash and cash equivalents included approximately $359,000 on deposit at a commercial bank in Germany. Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to currency fluctuations is depended upon the currency exchange rates. Gains or losses related to foreign exchange currency transactions were not material for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data The Company's consolidated financial statements and the related report of independent accountants are presented on pages F-1 to F-27 of this Annual Report in Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements filed in this Item 7 are as follows: Page ---- Independent Auditors' Report.......................................................................

F-5 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements......................................................... F-6 Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Management of the Company, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Focus (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated Focus' disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this Report, Focus' disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Focus in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Focus in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Focus' management, 29 including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Focus, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There was no change in Focus' internal control over financial reporting that occurred during Focus' fourth fiscal quarter of 2003 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Focus' internal control over financial reporting. Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registered Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by it or written representations from certain reporting persons, that no other reports were required, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to Focus' officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with during this year ended December 31, 2003.

Employment Agreements Brett Moyer is party to an employment contract with us effective September 30, 2002. Pursuant to this employment contract, Mr. Moyer serves as our Chief Executive Officer and President. In addition, in connection with the employment agreement, Mr. Moyer was granted at total of 500,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock at prices of $0.75 and $1.15 per share, the then fair market values. The options vest over a three year period at 2.77% per month. Under the employment contract, these options accelerate, so as to be immediately exercisable if Mr. Moyer is terminated without cause during the term of the contract. The employment contract provides for incentive bonuses of up to $110,000 as determined by our Board of Directors and employee benefits, including health and disability insurance, in accordance with our policies. The initial term of the agreement is for two years and would terminate on August 6, 2004. Mr. Moyer's contract will automatically renew for an additional one year period unless terminated by either party 30 days prior to the end of the initial term. Thomas Hamilton is party to an employment contract with us effective October 17, 1996, as amended to date, which renews automatically after December 31, 1998, for one-year terms, subject to certain termination provisions. This employment contract requires the acceleration of vesting of all options held by Mr. Hamilton so as to be immediately exercisable if Mr. Hamilton is terminated without cause during the term of the contract. The employment contract provides for bonuses as determined by our Board of Directors and employee benefits, including health and disability insurance, in accordance with Focus' policies. Mr. Burt and Mr. Williams have entered into Key Employee Agreements to provide for the acceleration of option vesting under certain circumstances upon a change in control as defined in those respective agreements. Compensation of Directors Our non-employee directors are reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred in attending board meetings.

An aggregate of 125,000 options to purchase an equal number of shares at an average exercise price of $1.57 per share were granted to our non-employee Directors during the year ended December 31, 2003. All of the options are subject to various vesting provisions. Repricing of Stock Options On September 1, 1998, we repriced all employee and director options under all plans to $1.22 per share for those options priced in excess of this value. This price represented the closing market price of our common stock on September 1, 1998. 35 Stock Option Plans We maintain various stock option plans for the benefit of our officers, directors and employees. A total of 1,523,045 options were available for issuance under the plans as of December 31, 2003. For additional discussion of the plans and awards thereunder see Note 12 "Stockholders Equity - Common Stock" beginning on page F-19. Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Shareholder Matters The following table sets forth information, as of March 10, 2004, regarding the shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by those stockholders of Focus known to management to beneficially own more than five percent (5%) of our Common Stock, each of our directors, nominees and executive officers, as well as all directors and executive officers as a group. Except as noted, we believe each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown subject to applicable community property laws. "Beneficial ownership" is a technical term broadly defined by the SEC to mean more than ownership in the usual sense. For example, you beneficially own our Common Stock not only if you hold it directly, but also indirectly, if you, through a relationship, contract or understanding, have, or share, the power to vote the stock, to sell the stock or have the right to acquire the stock. Percentage of beneficial ownership based on 43,177,902 shares of our Common Stock, 1,904 shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted into 1,904,000 shares of our common stock and 2,176,592 shares issuable pursuant to beneficially owned options, detailed below, that are exercisable as of March 10, 2004, or within 60 days thereafter.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions vFinance, Inc. Timothy Mahoney, who is a Focus director, is a principal of vFinance, Inc., the parent of vFinance Capital L.C. and a partner of Union Atlantic L.C. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company issued to vFinance Capital L.C. 243,833 shares of its common stock in lieu of investment banking fees in connection with the acquisition of Videonics in January 2001, and 79,444 shares of our common stock were issued to vFinance, Inc. for payment under and settlement for the termination of a Management and Financial Consulting Agreement between Focus and Union Atlantic L.C. and vFinance Capital L.C. In addition, vFinance and its affiliates were issued 47,055 shares of common stock pursuant to a price protection provision. Had vFinance, Inc. or any of its affiliates publicly sold its shares of common stock in the market at a price below $1.03, Focus would have been required to issue to vFinance, Inc. additional unregistered shares to make up any shortfalls between the market price at the time the shares were sold and $1.03. At December 31, 2002, the price protection provision had expired and the Company was under no further obligations to vFinance. Consequently, vFinance, Inc. returned the 47,055 shares of common stock in the first quarter of 2003. In addition, pursuant to an agreement dated December 27, 2001, vFinance received a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a per share exercise price of $1.54 per share. For such compensation, vFinance provided the Company with non-exclusive financial advisory services for a period of 12 months. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, in connection with its efforts to find investors in the private placement completed on January 11, 2002, vFinance Investments Inc. received from us $275,000 in cash and a warrant to purchase 123,690 shares of our common stock at $1.36 per share. During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, in connection with its efforts to find investors in the private placement completed on November 25, 2002, vFinance Investments Inc. received from us $70,000 in cash and warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock at $1.20 per share. In February 2003, the Company engaged vFinance Investments, Inc. to assist the Company with the preparation of a strategic business plan. Tim Mahoney, a member of the Company's Board of Directors, is the Chairman and COO of vFinance, Inc., the parent company to vFinance Investments. In connection with the preparation of the business plan, the Company incurred consulting expenses of $50,000 during 2003, which is included in general and administrative expenses. The Company also engaged vFinance Investments Inc., from July 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003, to act as the Company's exclusive financial advisor, for the purpose of merger and acquisition services. In connection with such financial advisory services, the Company incurred consulting expenses of $45,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, which is included in general and administrative expenses. If vFinance Investments assists in the successful completion of a qualifying transaction under the engagement, the Company will pay vFinance Investments a success fee depending on the total value of the transaction of (i) no less than $100,000 and up to 2% of the total value of the transaction; and (ii) no less than 30,000 and up to 80,000 shares of the Company's common stock. See "Note 18 - Subsequent Events on page F-27 for more information." In connection with its efforts to find investors for the Company in the private placement completed on July 2, 2003, vFinance Investments Inc. received $137,500 and out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees, of $27,500. All such cash payments to vFinance Investments Inc., were recorded as reductions of the proceeds received from the private placements. 37 Carl Berg Carl Berg, a Focus director and stockholder and previous director and stockholder of Videonics Inc., had a $1,035,000 loan outstanding to Videonics Inc., that we assumed on January 16, 2001 in connection with the merger. This unsecured loan accrued interest at 8% per year, and was due on January 16, 2002. Accrued interest was payable at maturity. On May 7, 2001, Focus and Mr. Berg agreed to the conversion of $1,035,000 of the outstanding principal balance and all accrued interest into 1,012 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Additionally, Carl Berg, loaned us $2,362,494 on October 26, 2000, to collateralize a $2,362,494 bond posted in connection with the CRA litigation (see "CRA Systems, Inc."). The promissory note had a term of three years and bears interest at a rate of prime plus 1% (5.00% at December 31, 2003). Interest earned on the restricted collateral deposit was payable to Mr. Berg. The interest payable by us to Mr. Berg was reduced by the amount of interest earned on the restricted collateral deposit. The principal amount of the note was originally due on October 26, 2003, but was amended on November 25, 2003, to provide for an extension of the maturity date to January 25, 2005, with interest to be paid quarterly. Under certain circumstances, including at the election of Mr. Berg and Focus, the promissory note and any accrued and unpaid interest is convertible into shares of the Focus common stock at a conversion price of $1.25 which represented the average closing bid and ask price of our common stock on the day preceding the agreement. The promissory note is secured by a security agreement in favor of Mr. Berg granting him a first priority security interest, over substantially all of our assets. On May 7, 2001, $46,000 of outstanding interest due under the note was converted into 38 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. In February 2002, in connection with the settlement of the CRA Systems Inc. case, the bond was liquidated and excess proceeds of $145,000 were used to pay down a portion of this note. As of December 31, 2003 we had unpaid principal and accrued interest due under the note totaling approximately $2,509,000. On February 28, 2001, Carl Berg agreed to loan us $2.0 million to support our working capital needs, bearing interest at a rate of prime plus 1%. The principal amount of the note will be due at the end of its term, with interest to be paid quarterly. On April 24, 2001, the note was amended to provide that under certain circumstances, including at the election of Mr. Berg and Focus, the promissory note and any accrued and unpaid interest is convertible into shares of the Company's preferred stock at a conversion price of $1,190 per share which represented 1,000 (each share of preferred is convertible into 1,000 shares of common) multiplied by 125% of the trailing 30-day average of the Company's common stock ending April 23, 2001. The promissory note is secured by a security agreement in favor of Mr. Berg granting him a security interest in first priority over substantially all of our assets. On May 7, 2001, Focus and Mr. Berg agreed to the conversion of $1,000,000 of the outstanding principal balance and $16,000 of accrued interest into 854 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. On November 25, 2003, the note was amended to provide for an extension of the maturity date for the remaining principal balance of $1,000,000, from the maturity date of October 26, 2003 to January 25, 2005. As of December 31, 2003 we had principal and accrued interest due under the note totaling approximately $1,160,000. On June 29, 2001, we issued a convertible promissory note to Mr. Berg in the amount up to $650,000 to support the Company's working capital needs. The promissory note had an original due date of January 3, 2003 which was extended to January 25, 2005 and bears interest at a rate of prime plus 1%. The principal amount of the note will be due at the end of its term, with interest to be paid quarterly. The note provides that at the election of Mr. Berg and Focus, the promissory note and any accrued and unpaid interest is convertible into shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $1,560 per share which represented 1,000 (each share of preferred is convertible into 1,000 shares of common) multiplied by 125% of the trailing 30-day average of Focus' common stock ending June 28, 2001. The promissory note is secured by a security agreement in favor of Mr. Berg granting him a security interest in first priority over substantially all of our assets. As of December 31, 2003 we had principal and accrued interest due under the note totaling approximately $744,000. Additionally, in December 2002, Mr. Berg provided Samsung Semiconductor Inc., the Company's contracted ASIC manufacturer, with a personal guarantee to secure the Company's working capital requirements for ASIC purchase order fulfillment. Mr. Berg agreed to provide the personal guarantee on the Company's behalf without additional cost or collateral, as Mr. Berg maintains a secured priority interest in substantially all the Company's assets. At December 31, 2003, the Company owed Samsung $562,000, under net 30 terms. At December 31, 2003, the Company owed Carl Berg, approximately $4.4 million in principal and accrued interest on the various aforementioned notes. In September 2003, Mr. Berg agreed to convert such debt and accrued interest into preferred and common stock on conversion terms agreed to more than two years ago. As of December 31, 2003, the conversion would result in the issuance of approximately 2,201,139 shares of common stock and 1,257 shares of preferred stock convertible into an additional 1,257,000 shares of common stock. The conversion is expected to be completed as soon as practical, but in no event sooner than March 15, 2004. 38 All material affiliate transactions and loans between Focus and its officers, directors, principal stockholders or other affiliates are made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to such individuals than would be obtained from, or given to, unaffiliated third parties and are approved by a majority of the board of directors who do not have an interest in the transactions and who have access, at Focus' expense to Focus' or independent legal counsel. Item 14.

The table lists audit fees, financial information systems design and implementation fees, and all other fees. All services rendered by Deloitte & Touche, LLP during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were furnished at customary rates and terms.

All other fees include assistance with the Company's various filings including the Company's registration statement filings on Form S-3 related to securities offerings.

(b) Reports on Form 8-K On November 4, 2003, Focus Enhancements, Inc. issued a press release announcing its third quarter 2003 results. On December 24, 2003, Focus Enhancements, Inc. issued a press release stating that on December 19, 2003, at Focus Enhancements, Inc. Annual Stockholder's Meeting, Bill Coldrick and Michael D'Addio were elected as directors to serve until 2006 and the Stockholders passed the following proposals: o An amendment to the Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 60,000,000 to 100,000,000; o An amendment to the 2002 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for grant from 1,000,000 to 2,200,000; and o The ratification of Deloitte & Touche, LLP as the Company's independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2003. 42 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Focus Enhancements, Inc. Campbell, CA We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Focus Enhancements, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's recurring losses from operations and accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As discussed in Note 1, in 2002 the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other intangible Assets".

F-5 Focus Enhancements, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business of the Company. FOCUS Enhancements, Inc. (the "Company" "FOCUS") develops and markets proprietary video technology in two areas: video systems and semiconductors. With regards to its video system's business, the Company designs solutions in PC-to-TV scan conversion, video presentation, digital-video conversion, video production and home theater markets. The Company markets its products globally through both consumer and professional channels. The Company's video system products include: video scan converters, application controllers, video mixers, character generators and video processors. Semiconductor products include several series of Application Specific Integrated Circuits ("ASICs") that process digital video data to be used with analog devices such as televisions. The Company's ASICs are utilized in a variety of applications including computer motherboards, graphics cards, video conferencing systems, Internet TV and interactive TV applications. Over 65% of the components for the Company's products are manufactured on a turnkey basis by three vendors, Furthertech Company, Ltd., Samsung Semiconductor Inc., and Asemtec Corporation. In the event that these vendors were to cease supplying the Company, management believes that alternative turnkey manufacturers for the Company's products could be secured. However, the Company would most likely experience delays in the shipments of its products. The video technology market is characterized by extensive research and development and rapid technological change resulting in product life cycles for certain of the Company's products that are as short as eighteen to twenty-four months. Development by others of new or improved products, processes or technologies may make the Company's products or proposed products obsolete or less competitive. Management believes it necessary to devote substantial efforts and financial resources to enhance its existing products and to develop new products. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed with these efforts. Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary PC Video Conversion, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Business Combinations. The acquisition of Videonics, Inc. (Note 3) was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and the consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Videonics from the date of acquisition. The net assets of Videonics were recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition with the excess of the purchase price over such fair values allocated to goodwill. Use of Estimates. The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from estimated amounts. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements are related primarily to accounts receivable allowances, stock balancing allowances, inventory valuation allowances, recoverability of capitalized software development costs, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, the value of equity instruments issued for services and the recoverability of goodwill and other intangibles related to acquisitions. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimates will change within the next year. Financial Instruments. The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, certificates of deposit, receivables and accounts payable approximate the respective fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Long-term debt approximates fair value as these instruments bear interest at terms that would be available through similar transactions with other third parties. Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Revenue and Cost Recognition. Revenue consists primarily of sales of products to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), dealers and distributors. The Company recognizes revenues, net of discounts, upon shipment of product (as title transfers upon shipment), when a purchase order has been received, the sales price is fixed and determinable, collection of the resulting receivable is probable, and all significant obligations have been met. A provision is made to estimate customer returns, which is reflected as a reduction of trade receivables, and estimated warranty repair/replacement costs at the time a sale is recorded. A limited number of distributor agreements contain rights to return slow moving inventory or discontinued products held in inventory by the distributor that have not sold through to an end user. F-6 Focus Enhancements, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements The Company sells software that is embedded with some of its products. Revenue from the software embedded with products less reserves for returns, is generally recognized upon shipment to the customer. Revenue from post delivery customer support, which consists primarily of telephone support, is recognized upon shipment of the software, as the support is included in the selling price of the software, is not offered separately, and the cost of the support is insignificant. The Company defers revenue recognition relating to consigned sales until the distributor sells through such products to the end customer, or if sell through information is not available from the distributor, when cash is received from the distributors. Receipt of cash from those distributors which do not provide sell through information has historically been indicative of sell through to an end user by that distributor. Management is not aware of any circumstances that would require the return of cash to a distributor, once payment from a distributor has been received. Consignment inventory at December 31, 2003 totaled approximately $18,000. Consignment inventory at December 31, 2002, was not material. Contract revenues are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for the contract. This method is used because management considers expended labor hours to be the best available measure of progress on the contract. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, there were no contract receivables. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. Contract costs for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 totaled $499,000 and $1,110,000, respectively (included within costs of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations). The Company did not record contract revenues nor did it incur costs associated with contract revenues in 2003. Price Protection and Rebates. The Company has agreements with certain of its customers which, in the event of a price decrease, allow those customers (subject to certain limitations) credit equal to the difference between the price originally paid and the new decreased price on units either in the customers' inventories on the date of the price decrease, or on the number of units shipped to the customer for a specified time period prior to the price decrease. When a price decrease is anticipated, the Company establishes reserves against gross trade receivables for estimated amounts to be reimbursed to qualifying customers. In addition, the Company records reserves at the time of shipment for rebates. Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company's customer base is dispersed across many different geographic areas throughout the world and consists principally of OEM's, distributors and dealers in the electronics industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses. Management assesses collectibility based on a number of factors, including credit-worthiness and past transaction history with the customer. Although collateral is generally not requested, the Company, in certain situations, will require confirmed letters of credit or cash in advance of shipping to its customers. As of December 31, 2003, one customer and one distributor represented approximately 24% and 17%, respectively, of the Company's accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2002, two distributors represented approximately 31% of the Company's accounts receivable (21% and 10% respectively), while a customer represented an additional 10% of the Company's accounts receivable. The Company provides credit to customers in the normal course of business with terms generally ranging between 30 to 90 days. The Company does not usually require collateral for trade receivables, but attempts to limit credit risk through its customer credit evaluation process. The Company maintains its bank accounts with high quality financial institutions to minimize credit risk, however, the Company's balances may periodically exceed federal deposit insurance limits. Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for potential slow moving or obsolete items and provides valuation allowances for specific items, as appropriate. Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as set forth below. The Company evaluates property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. When the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its F-7 Focus Enhancements, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss would be measured based on the discounted cash flows compared to the carrying amount. No impairment charge for property and equipment has been recorded in 2003, 2002 or 2001. Category Depreciation Period -------- ------------------- Equipment 3-5 years Tooling 2 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years Purchased software 1-3 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of 5 years or the term of the lease Capitalized Software. Certain software development costs are capitalized when incurred under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86. Capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized software development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenues, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Capitalized software development costs are amortized based on the greater of: the ratio of the current gross revenues for a product to the total current and anticipated future gross revenues for the product, or the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset commencing on the date the product is released. No software development costs were capitalized in 2002 or 2003. Amortization of capitalized software development costs totaled $40,000, $339,000 and $379,000, respectively for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. The Company continuously assesses the recoverability of its capitalized software development costs, considering anticipated future gross revenues, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Goodwill and Intangible Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management evaluates possible impairment of long-lived assets using estimates of undiscounted future cash flows. Impairment loss to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Management evaluates the fair value of long-lived assets and intangibles using primarily the estimated discounted future cash flows method. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144). SFAS No. 144 removes goodwill from its scope and retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121 to (a) recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and (b) measure an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. There was no effect from the adoption of SFAS No. 144. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, SFAS No. 142 requires that intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life be reviewed for impairment upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 and at least annually thereafter. The Company completed its annual impairment review during the fourth quarter of 2003. Management determined that goodwill did not appear to be impaired at either the transitional or annual review dates. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill impairment may exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Intangible assets, consisting of the rights and title to Videonics' existing technology, tradename, assembled workforce and other intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Videonics (Note 3), are amortized using the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to four years. In 2002, in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company ceased amortization of the assembled workforce intangible asset associated with the acquisition of Videonics, and reclassified to goodwill the net carrying amount of the intangible asset, in the amount of $537,000. F-8 Focus Enhancements, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements Goodwill includes both the carrying amount of goodwill and assembled workforce less accumulated amortization, as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2003 December 31, 2002 ----------------- ----------------- Carrying amount: Goodwill $ 8,344 $ 8,344 Assembled workforce 899 899 ------- ------- Gross carrying amount of goodwill 9,243 9,243 Less accumulated amortization: Goodwill (3,690) (3,690) Assembled workforce (362) (362) ------- ------- Net carrying amount of goodwill $ 5,191 $ 5,191 ======= ======= The following table provides a summary of the carrying amounts of other intangible assets that will continue to be amortized (in thousands).

Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs consist primarily of magazine advertisements, agency fees and other direct production costs. Advertising and sales promotion costs totaled approximately $411,000, $519,000 and $926,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Legal Fees. Legal fees are charged to expense in the period the legal services are performed. Research and Development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. F-9 Focus Enhancements, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements Product Warranty Costs. The Company's warranty period for its products is generally one to three years. The Company accrues for warranty costs based on estimated warranty return rates and costs to repair (Note 5). Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is required to adjust its deferred tax liabilities in the period when tax rates or the provisions of the income tax laws change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that more likely than not are expected to be realized. Deferred Compensation. Deferred compensation represents the intrinsic value of unvested stock options at the consummation date of the Videonics acquisition that were granted by the Company in exchange for stock options held by the employees of Videonics. Amortization of deferred compensation is charged to operations over the vesting period of the options. Deferred Price Protection on Common Stock. Deferred price protection on common stock pertains to 47,055 shares of common stock issued to vFinance, Inc. (formerly Union Atlantic Capital L.C.) in connection with a price protection arrangement executed with vFinance in 2001 (see Note 17). Such shares were recorded based on their fair value at the date of issuance. The price protection provision expired unused in 2002 and the Company was under no further obligations to vFinance, Inc. Consequently, vFinance, Inc returned the 47,055 shares of common stock in the first quarter of 2003. Stock Compensation Plans. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation encourages all entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award which is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued under the Company's stock option plans have no intrinsic value at the grant date, accordingly, under APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation cost is recognized. The Company has elected to continue with the accounting prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and, as a result, must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share and other disclosures as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for stock options. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options issued to employees. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans and non- plan stock options outstanding been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands except per share data): Years ended December 31, --------------------------------------- 2003 2002 2001 --------- ---------- ---------- Net loss reported under APB 25 $ (1,698) $ (5,957) $ (6,658) Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net loss -- 122 113 Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards (951) (1,104) (1,342) --------- ---------- ---------- Pro forma net loss $ (2,649) $ (6,939) $ (7,887) ========= ========== ========== Basic loss per share, as reported $ (0.04) $ (0.17) $ (0.21) Basic loss per share, pro forma $ (0.07) $ (0.19) $ (0.25) Diluted loss per share, as reported $ (0.04) $ (0.17) $ (0.21) Diluted loss per share, pro forma $ (0.07) $ (0.19) $ (0.25) F-10 Focus Enhancements, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements Common stock equivalents have been excluded from all calculations of loss per share and pro forma loss per share in 2003, 2002 and 2001 because the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive. The fair value of each grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively; dividend yield of 0.0%; expected volatility of 93%-128%, 130% and 100%, risk-free interest rates of 2.4%-2.7%, 3.1%-4.4% and 3.9%-4.9% and expected lives of 3.0-5.0 years, 5.0 years and 5.0 years. Net Income (Loss) Per Share. The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stock divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed conversion. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to convertible debt and outstanding stock options and warrants. The number of common shares that would be issued under outstanding options and warrants is determined using the treasury stock method. The assumed conversion of debt, outstanding dilutive stock options and warrants would increase the shares outstanding but would not require an adjustment to income (loss) per share as a result of the conversion. Diluted net loss per share was the same as basic net loss per share for all periods presented since the effect of any potentially dilutive securities is excluded, as they are anti-dilutive due to the Company's net loss. Comprehensive Income. Certain Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) statements require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and foreign currency items, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. There was no accumulated comprehensive income at December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, and no differences between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("SFAS No. 146"), which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) ("EITF 94-3"). SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred and that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Under EITF 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of the Company's commitment to an exit plan. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amounts recognized. In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 in the current year. The recognition and measurement provisions will be applied to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company operating results or financial condition. The FASB issued FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities in January 2003, and a revised interpretation of FIN 46 ("FIN 46-R") in December 2003. FIN 46, as modified by FIN 46-R, requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The Company has not invested in any entities it believes are variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 46, as modified by FIN 46-R to have an impact on its financial position or results of operations. In April 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. The Statement clarifies under what circumstances F-11 Focus Enhancements, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, amends the definition of an underlying derivative to conform it to language used in FASB Interpretation FIN No. 45, and amends certain other existing pronouncements. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. All provisions of the Statement, except those related to forward purchases or sales of "when-issued" securities, should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 149. However, the Company does not believe that it has entered into any contracts that would fall within the scope of SFAS No. 149. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company currently has no financial instruments which meet these requirements. In December 2003, the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104), which codifies, revises and rescinds certain sections of SAB 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, in order to make this interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and SEC rules and regulations. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's operating results or financial condition. 2. Management's Plans The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,698,000, $5,957,000 and $6,658,000, and net cash used in operating activities totaled $2,614,000, $5,004,000 and $3,452,000, respectively. Additionally, in January 2004, the Company was informed by a significant customer that it should not expect further orders for the Company's FS454 product. Shipments of the FS454, which were primarily to this significant customer, represented 37% of the Company's total net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003. These factors indicate that the Company may potentially be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to return to profitability and significant positive cash flows. The Company has historically met cash needs from the proceeds of debt, the sale of common stock in private placements, and the exercise of stock options and warrants. Management continues to assess its product lines in light of technology trends and economic conditions, to identify how to enhance existing product lines or create new distribution channels. In addition, although no assurances can be given, the Company is developing and expects to release three new products during 2004. Even if the Company's new products are introduced as planned and are modestly successful, the Company anticipates that its continued significant investment in research and development, primarily in the area of Ultra Wideband, will require the Company to find a partner to fund a portion of the continued development and or raise additional funds to support its working capital needs and meet existing debt obligations. There is no assurance that management's plans will be successful or if successful, that they will result in the Company continuing as a going concern. 3. Acquisitions DVUnlimited In September 2003, the Company acquired the intangible assets of DVUnlimited, a sole proprietorship, located in Budapest, Hungary. The total purchase price was $107,000, consisting of cash, common stock and related legal costs. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the entire purchase price was allocated to developed technology, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three years. F-12 Focus Enhancements, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements Videonics On January 16, 2001, Focus acquired all of the outstanding shares of Videonics Inc. ("Videonics") in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Focus issued 0.87 shares of its common stock for each issued and outstanding share of Videonics common stock on the closing date. Based on the exchange ratio, a total of approximately 5,135,000 shares were issued. Focus incurred approximately $637,000 in acquisition expenses, including financial advisory and legal fees and other direct transaction costs, which were included as a component of the purchase price. Such amount included 243,833 shares of Focus common stock valued at $251,000 issued to vFinance Capital (formerly Union Atlantic Capital) for payment of financial advisory services. Videonics was a designer and manufacturer of digital video post-production equipment products that edit and mix raw video footage, add special effects and titles, and process audio and video signals. Videonics' products are used by videographers, business, industry, education and videophiles; they are also used in the broadcast, cable, video presentation and video conferencing markets. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as follows (in thousands): Value of common shares issued to Videonics shareholders $7,959 Assumption of Videonics options 854 Estimated transaction costs 637 ------ Total purchase price $9,450 ------ Tangible assets acquired $3,384 Intangible assets acquired: Existing technology 1,888 Assembled workforce 899 Tradename 176 In-process research and development 505 Liabilities assumed (3,373) ------ Excess of cost over fair value (goodwill) $5,971 ====== Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require purchased in-process research and development with no alternative future use to be recorded and charged to expense in the period acquired. Accordingly, the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001, include the write-off of $505,000 of purchased in-process research and development. 4.

Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2003, after filing its Form 10-Q for F-13 Focus Enhancements, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Company found a data entry error in its third quarter results, which resulted in the understatement of costs of revenues and overstatement of net income for the third quarter by $100,000, or less than $.01 per share. The error was corrected in the fourth quarter of 2003 as the Company's Board of Directors determined that it was not material to the operating results of either quarter. 5.

Notes Payable Purchase of PC Video Conversion, Inc. On July 29, 1998, the Company issued a $1,000,000 note payable to Steve Wood in conjunction with the acquisition of PC Video Conversion, Inc. ("PC Video") providing for the payment of principal and interest at 3.5 % over a period of 36 months. Mr. Wood was the Vice President of Pro AV engineering, former sole stockholder of PC Video and manager of the Company's Morgan Hill, CA facility. On July 28, 2000, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Wood following the closure of the Company's Morgan Hill facility in June 2000. As part of the separation agreement, Mr. Wood remained a consultant until an upgrade to one of the Company's Pro AV products was completed. In return, Mr. Wood received a right to convert the outstanding balance of $427,000 due under the promissory note into common stock of the Company following stockholder approval of the increase to the number of shares of authorized common stock of the Company. The Company's stockholders approved the increase to the authorized common stock on January 12, 2001 and shortly thereafter, Mr. Wood agreed to convert the promissory note into 468,322 shares of the Company's common stock based on the average trading price of the common stock for the five day period preceding January 12, 2001. On June 27, 2001, the Company issued the 468,322 shares of common stock to Mr. Wood. Convertible Notes Payable to Stockholder Convertible Promissory Notes On October 26, 2000, Carl Berg, a Company director and shareholder, loaned the Company $2,362,494 to collateralize a $2,362,494 bond posted in connection with the CRA litigation (see "CRA Systems, Inc."). The promissory note has a term of three years and bears interest at a rate of prime plus 1% (5.00% at December 31, 2003). Interest earned on the restricted collateral deposit is payable to Mr. Berg. The interest payable by the Company to Mr. Berg is reduced by the amount of interest earned on the restricted collateral deposit. The principal amount of the note was originally due on October 26, 2003, but was amended on November 25, 2003, to provide for an extension of the maturity date to January 25, 2005, with interest to be paid quarterly. Under certain circumstances, including at the election of Mr. Berg and the Company, the promissory note and any accrued and unpaid interest is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $1.25 which represented the average closing bid and ask price of the Company's common stock on the day preceding the agreement. The promissory note is secured by a security agreement in favor of Mr. Berg granting him a first priority security interest over substantially all of the assets of the Company. On May 7, 2001, $46,000 of outstanding interest due under the note was converted into 38 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. In February 2002, in connection with the settlement of the CRA Systems Inc. case, the bond was liquidated and excess proceeds of $145,000 were used to pay down a portion of this note. As of December 31, 2003 the Company had unpaid principal and accrued interest due under the note totaling approximately $2,509,000. F-15 Focus Enhancements, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements On February 28, 2001, Carl Berg agreed to loan the Company $2.0 million to support the Company's working capital needs, bearing interest at a rate of prime plus 1%. The principal amount of the note will be due at the end of its term, with interest to be paid quarterly. On April 24, 2001, the note was amended to provide that under certain circumstances, including at the election of Mr. Berg and the Company, the promissory note and any accrued and unpaid interest is convertible into shares of the Company's preferred stock at a conversion price of $1,190 per share, which represented 1,000 (each share of preferred is convertible into 1,000 shares of common) multiplied by 125% of the trailing 30-day average of the Company's common stock ending April 23, 2001. The promissory note is secured by a security agreement in favor of Mr. Berg granting him a security interest in first priority over substantially all of the assets of the Company. On May 7, 2001, the Company and Mr. Berg agreed to the conversion of $1,000,000 of the outstanding principal balance and $16,000 of accrued interest into 854 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. On November 25, 2003, the note was amended to provide for an extension of the maturity date for the remaining principal balance of $1,000,000, to January 25, 2005. As of December 31, 2003 the Company had principal and accrued interest due under the note totaling approximately $1,160,000. On June 29, 2001, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to Mr. Berg in the amount up to $650,000 to support the Company's working capital needs. The promissory note had an original due date of January 3, 2003 which was extended to January 25, 2005 and bears interest at a rate of prime plus 1%. The principal amount of the note will be due at the end of its term, with interest to be paid quarterly. The note provides that at the election of Mr. Berg and the Company, the promissory note and any accrued and unpaid interest is convertible into shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $1,560 per share which represented 1,000 (each share of preferred is convertible into 1,000 shares of common) multiplied by 125% of the trailing 30-day average of the Company's common stock ending June 28, 2001. The promissory note is secured by a security agreement in favor of Mr. Berg granting him a security interest in first priority over substantially all of the assets of the Company. As of December 31, 2003 the Company had principal and accrued interest due under the note totaling approximately $744,000. At December 31, 2003, the Company owed Carl Berg, approximately $4.4 million in principal and accrued interest on the various aforementioned notes. In September 2003, Mr. Berg agreed to convert such debt and accrued interest into preferred and common stock on conversion terms agreed to more than two years ago. As of December 31, 2003, the conversion would result in the issuance of approximately 2,201,139 shares of common stock and 1,257 shares of preferred stock convertible into an additional 1,257,000 shares of common stock. The conversion is expected to be completed as soon as practical, but in no event sooner than March 15, 2004. 9. Other Expense Warrant Repricing On July 28, 2000, the Company entered into an equity line of credit agreement with Euston Investments Holdings Limited ("Euston"). On January 11, 2002, Focus and Euston mutually agreed to terminate the agreement. As consideration for terminating the agreement, the exercise price of Euston's warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of Focus common stock was reduced from $1.625 to $0.75 per share. The Company recorded a charge to other expense of approximately $334,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2002 based on the fair value of the repriced warrants. See also "Note 12. Stockholders Equity - Common Stock" for further detail. Delayed Registration Expense During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recognized approximately $438,000 of other expense as a result of delays in registering 1,400,000 shares of common stock issued to an investor in connection with a private placement in June 2000, in which the Company received gross proceeds of $1,500,000. At December 31, 2001 no further expenses were anticipated in connection with this financing as the Company entered into an agreement with the investor which suspended further charges if the Company registered all outstanding shares issued to the investor by March 31, 2002. The Company completed the registration of such shares on February 12, 2002. F-16 Focus Enhancements, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements 10. Other Income During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company recognized a total of $239,000, $311,000 and $374,000 respectively, of other income in connection with the settlement and release of certain obligations that had been previously recorded in accrued liabilities and accounts payable. 11. Commitments and Contingencies Leases The Company leases office facilities and certain equipment under operating leases. Under the lease agreements, the Company is obligated to pay for utilities, taxes, insurance and maintenance. Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was approximately $504,000, $606,000 and $709,000, respectively. Minimum lease commitments at December 31, 2003 are as follows (in thousands): Operating Leases ---------------- 2004 $ 468 2005 318 2006 2 2007 -- 2008 -- ------- Total minimum lease payments $ 788 ------- Included in the minimum operating lease commitments for 2004 is $6,000 of minimum rent obligations associated with the Company's Chelmsford, MA facility which the Company vacated in September 2002. See "Restructuring Expenses" for further discussion. Employment Agreements The Company has employment agreements with certain corporate officers. The agreements are generally one to three years in length and provide for minimum salary levels. These agreements include severance payments of approximately one to two times each officer's annual compensation. Restricted Collateral Deposit In connection with the CRA Systems, Inc. ("CRA") judgment discussed below, the Company posted a bond in the amount of $2,362,494 to suspend any enforcement of the judgment, pending appeal. Carl Berg obtained the bond on the Company's behalf in exchange for a secured convertible note in the same amount as described in "Convertible Notes Payable to Stockholder" above. The bond was irrevocable and was collateralized by a certificate of deposit in the amount of $2,363,000. In February, 2002, the Company utilized the bond to pay CRA Systems Inc., $2,216,000 in accordance with the judgment, consisting of the accrued legal judgment of $2,073,000 and accrued interest related thereto of $143,000. See "CRA Systems Inc." for further discussion. Purchase Commitment The Company entered into an agreement, as amended in 2000, with Advanced Electronics Support Products, Inc. ("AESP") to purchase a minimum of $2,500,000 of cables and other products from AESP by March 29, 2001. In return, the Company received certain pricing commitments over the term of the master purchase agreement. In the event that the Company did not purchase at least $2,500,000 of cables and other products during the term of the master purchase agreement the Company was obligated to pay AESP an amount equal to 20% of the difference between $2,500,000 and the aggregate amount of purchases. At December 31, 2000, the Company recorded a purchasing obligation liability in the amount of $225,000 as it had not yet met its minimum purchase obligation. On June 26, 2001, the Company and AESP entered into a settlement agreement thereby terminating the agreement in exchange for 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company recorded the issuance of such stock at its then current market value of $153,000. F-17 Focus Enhancements, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements Restructuring Expenses On September 30, 2002, the Company closed its Chelmsford, MA office, resulting in a $96,000 restructuring charge, and furloughed 7% of its personnel. In December 2002, the Company terminated those furloughed employees and recorded a severance accrual of $26,000. In the second quarter of 2003, the Company was able to settle amounts due on the closure of its Chelmsford facility for $29,000 less than originally estimated. At December 31, 2003, $26,000 of the restructuring reserve remained. Litigation Class Action Suits Focus and one of its former directors were named as defendants in a securities class action filed in United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint included a class of stockholders who purchased Focus shares during the period from July 17, 1997 to February 19, 1999. The complaint was initially filed in November of 1999 and was been amended several times. The complaint alleged violations of the federal securities laws and sought unspecified monetary damages. In December 2001 the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle this case and in May 2002 the case was settled and a final judgment was entered by the United States District Court. The settlement was funded entirely by proceeds from defendants' insurance carrier and the case is now closed. CRA Systems, Inc. In 1996 Focus entered into an agreement with CRA Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation, the terms and nature of which were subsequently disputed by the parties. Focus contended that the transaction was simply a sale of inventory for which it was never paid. CRA contended otherwise. CRA brought suit against Focus on September 21, 1998, for breach of contract and other claims, contending that Focus grossly exaggerated the demand for the product and the margin of profit that was available to CRA regarding this project. CRA sought to recover out-of-pocket losses exceeding $100,000 and lost profits of $400,000 to $1,000,000. The case was removed to the US District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco, Texas. A jury trial in May 2000 in that court resulted in a verdict in favor of CRA for $848,000 actual damages and $1,000,000 punitive damages. On October 10, 2000, the court rendered a judgment in favor of CRA for actual damages, punitive damages, attorney's fees, costs, and interest. In connection with this judgment, Focus recorded an expense of $2,147,722 in the period ended September 30, 2000. The court overruled the motion for new trial that Focus filed, and Focus appealed the judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans, Louisiana. On October 27, 2000, Focus submitted a bond in the approximate amount of $2.3 million (being the approximate amount of the judgment plus 10% to cover interest and costs of CRA) and the U.S. District Court granted a stay of any enforcement of the judgment pending appeal. The Court of Appeals held oral argument on December 3, 2001. On January 3, 2002, the Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment awarded to CRA virtually in its entirety. Focus had already recorded a charge to operations to establish a legal reserve for such amount during the third quarter of 2000. Therefore, in February 2002, Focus utilized the bond to pay CRA $2,215,600 in accordance with the judgment. Excess bond proceeds of $145,000 were used to pay down a Convertible Note Payable to Mr. Berg. See "See Note 8. Notes Payable - Convertible Notes Payable to Stockholder" for further discussion. This case is now closed. Indemnification agreements The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements with its customers and certain other business partners in the ordinary course of business. These agreements include provisions for indemnifying the customer against any claim brought by a third party to the extent any such claim alleges that the Company's product infringes a patent, copyright or trademark, or misappropriates a trade secret, of that third party. The agreements generally limit the scope of the available remedies in a variety of industry-standard methods, including but not limited to product usage and geography-based limitations, a right to control the defense or settlement of any claim, and a right to replace or modify the infringing products to make them noninfringing. The Company has not incurred significant expenses related to these indemnification agreements and no material claims for such indemnifications are outstanding as of December 31, 2003. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements, if any, to be de minimus; accordingly, no liability has been recorded with respect to such indemnifications as of December 31, 2003. F-18 Focus Enhancements, Inc. Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements General From time to time, the Company is party to certain other claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business which, in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operation. 12.

The Company recorded charges of approximately $238,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 based on the fair value of the warrants.

On November 25, 2002, the Company completed the sale of 800,000 shares of its common stock in a private placement to two independent third parties, receiving proceeds of approximately $685,000, net of offering costs of $83,000.

In accordance with its obligations under the agreement, the Company incurred damages of 2% per month of the gross proceeds until its registration of the shares purchased by the investor.

At December 31, 2001, the Company had issued approximately 597,000 shares of common stock and recorded expenses during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 of $438,000 and $150,000 respectively, associated with the delays in registration. At December 31, 2001 no further expenses were anticipated in connection with this financing as the Company entered into an agreement with the investor which suspended further charges if the Company registered all outstanding shares issued to the investor by March 31, 2002. The Company completed the registration of such shares on February 12, 2002. On July 28, 2000, the Company entered into an equity line of credit agreement with Euston Investments Holdings Limited ("Euston"), for the future issuance and purchase of up to 4,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a 10% discount.

The warrant expires June 12, 2005. The Company had sought to register such shares under a Registration Statement on Form SB-2. However, before the registration statement was declared effective, on January 11, 2002, Focus and Euston mutually agreed to terminate the agreement. As consideration for terminating the agreement, the exercise price of Euston's warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of Focus common stock was reduced from $1.625 to $0.75 per share. As a result of the repricing the Company incurred a $334,000 charge to other expense in the first quarter of 2002. The charge was computed using the Black-Scholes model with assumptions of a risk-free rate of interest of 2.9%, expected volatility of 130%, a dividend yield of 0.0% and an expected remaining life of 1.4 years. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company issued at various times, an additional 351,850 shares of common stock resulting from other exercises of options and warrants, receiving cash of approximately $199,000.

The Company has calculated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions: F-20 Focus Enhancements, Inc.
