General

References in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to “we”, “us”, “our”, “the Company” and “Focus” collectively refer to Focus Enhancements Inc. and its subsidiaries and predecessors. Incorporated in 1992, we develop and market proprietary video technology in two areas: semiconductors (“semiconductor products”) and digital media video systems (“systems products”). We market our products globally to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), and dealers and distributors in the consumer and professional channels. Our semiconductor products include several series of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (“ASICs”), which address the wireless video and data market using Ultra Wideband (“UWB”) technology and the TV-out encoder market. The UWB ASICs are targeted for the wireless USB (Universal Serial Bus) market while the TV–Out chips (or video convergence chips) are deployed into portable media players, video conferencing systems, Internet TV, media center and interactive TV applications. We market our ASICs through semiconductor distribution channels. Our systems products are designed to provide solutions for the video acquisition and production, media asset management, media conversion and digital signage markets. We market our systems products primarily through the professional channel. Our production products include video scan converters, video mixers, standard and high definition digital video disk recorders, MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) recorders and file format conversion tools. Our media asset management systems products include network-based video servers, long-duration program monitors and capture/playout components. Our digital signage and retail media solutions products include standard and high definition MPEG players, servers and associated control software.

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 January of 2001, we completed our merger with Videonics, Inc. (“Videonics”), a leading designer of affordable, high-quality, digital video post-production equipment, that developed and marketed products for Internet production and streaming, desktop video editing and video presentations. Following the merger, we took advantage of the complementary strategic fit of the businesses to build attractively priced digital video solutions for an expanded customer base. After the merger, new management executed a restructuring plan which significantly reduced post-merger staffing in the areas of operations, marketing, customer support and finance. In September 2002, we closed our facility in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, 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.

In February of 2004, we completed the acquisition of COMO Computer & Motion GmbH (“COMO”), located in Kiel, Germany, pursuant to which COMO became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Focus. Founded in 1990 and incorporated in Germany, COMO develops, manufactures and distributes digital video solutions. The acquisition enabled new features for our entire video technology product line, including MPEG encoding, content storage and media asset management, and provides support for our European distributors and customers.

In May of 2004, we acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Visual Circuits Corporation (“Visual Circuits”). Founded in 1991, Visual Circuits manufactured and developed integrated hardware, software and network products. These products are used by us in digital signage and enterprise media installations to manage, schedule, distribute, store and present digital media.

In 2006, we formed subsidiaries in Korea and Japan to provide sales and customer support for our Semiconductor group.

Our corporate offices are located at 1370 Dell Avenue, Campbell, CA 95008-6604, and our Semiconductor group is located at 22867 Northwest Bennett St., Hillsboro, Oregon 97124. Focus’ general telephone number is (408) 866-8300, and our Internet address is http://www.focusinfo.com. Information contained on the web site is not part of this document.

Business Strategy

We currently derive revenue from the sale of systems products and semiconductor products. While we believe that the semiconductor market may offer the best potential for future growth, our digital media-related systems products remain an important and substantial contributor to our growth. Our systems products provide acquisition, production, conversion and delivery for prosumers (professional consumer), professional, and commercial media applications.

According to surveys by iSuppli/Stanford Resources and Frost & Sullivan, the digital signage market and media asset management market, respectively, which we entered through acquisitions in 2004, are expected to experience 20-30 percent annual growth through 2008.

Although the general video production market is not experiencing the faster growth rates of digital signage and media asset management, it is going through a transition from standard definition (“SD”) video to high definition (“HD”) video, as well as experiencing changes to file storage and distribution formats.

Our current semiconductor products target the Internet appliance and home entertainment industries and consist of ASIC chips used for PC-to-TV conversion by portable media players, set top boxes, and media and Internet devices. In 2006, our Semiconductor group remained focused on the development of a UWB chipset. We began research and development efforts on developing UWB technology in 2002 for use in transmitting wireless video. UWB is a radio technology enabling very high speed transmission of data over short distances. We are a member of WiMedia, the industry standards setting trade association group for UWB and one of the authors of the WiMedia specifications. WiMedia is the industry trade association which is standardizing UWB technology. We expect wireless home media and wireless USB to be the first markets which will use our UWB chips in volume, as these currently are the leading applications of high-bandwidth wireless chips.

We plan to vigorously pursue the semiconductor market for this technology in 2007, building on our existing business in the commercial TV, portable media players, video conferencing and Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) set-top box markets. We intend to continue to invest a significant amount of research and development efforts and dollars in UWB technology in 2007. Based on our current development activities, we anticipate accepting orders for production quality UWB chips in the second half of 2007.

Our Products

We market two distinctive product lines: semiconductor and systems products. Our semiconductor products target the video convergence market and the high-bandwidth wireless market. Our systems products target the video acquisition and production, media asset management, media conversion and digital signage markets.

Semiconductor products

Our ASIC chips are custom designed for a specific application rather than general-purposes like a microprocessor.  The use

4




of ASIC chips improves performance over general-purpose semiconductors, because the chips are “hardwired” to do a specific job. Our ASICs 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 a TV’s interlace image. Our ASIC products include the FS401/2/3, FS453/4, and FS455/6 series used for scaling, scan conversion, Internet TV, Portable Media Players and interactive TV applications. These chips, due to their features and applicability, are used in many of our, and third party consumer, systems products. The following is a listing of some of the applications for our chips:

·                  Media Centers and Portable Media Players;

·                  Information Appliances;

·                  Interactive Home Entertainment;

·                  Interactive Television;

·                  PC Video Out (TV-Ready PCs);

·                  Set Top Boxes;

·                  Videoconferencing Systems;

·                  Television Broadcast and Video Design;

·                  Video Kiosks;

·                  Web Appliances; and

·                  Automotive Video and GPS Systems

The wide number of applications for our semiconductor products provides the opportunity to grow our business for applications requiring broadcast quality in electronics devices and components including Internet set top boxes, Cable/DVD Player set top boxes, Internet appliances, graphics cards and laptops.

Our proprietary NTSC/PAL (National Television Standards Committee/Phase Alternating Line) digital video co-processor technology is for designers of video and large display monitor products, as well as a variety of industrial applications. The FS401/2/3 series of chips are advanced PC to TV processors with patented designs that dramatically improve video quality while reducing costs for the manufacturer. The chips are marketed to manufacturers of media players, scan converters, video-conferencing equipment and commercial television OEMs including our own consumer electronics product line marketed under the TView brand.

Our FS453/4 was originally designed for use in the Microsoft Xbox. Microsoft funded $2.1 million for the development of the FS453/4. In July of 2003, we began production shipments of the FS454 to Microsoft to meet Microsoft’s Xbox peak production period. Although we continued shipments in 2004, shipments were at significantly reduced levels when compared to the third and fourth quarters of 2003 and no shipments were made in 2005. In addition to compatibility with the Microsoft Xbox, the FS453/4 has broad applications in other products that need TV-Out, such as PCs, DVD players, media centers and media adaptors. The chip provides normal TV and HDTV outputs, has a small footprint, and has low power consumption.

In July 2004, we began sampling the FS455/6. The FS455/6 uses the same technology as the FS45 4, but in a smaller (7mm x 7mm) ball grid array (“BGA”) package, which is best suited for applications where space is critical. Applications that can potentially use the FS455 include portable phones, portable media players, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and other small, portable devices.  We made substantial shipments of the FS455/6 into Portable Media Player applications in 2006.

Our UWB ASIC chips have been marketed in packaged form as the FS1100 and FS1200. Together, these chips comprise a UWB radio. The FS1100 is an analog ASIC made using 180nm Silicon-Germanium and the FS1200 is a digital chip made using 130nm CMOS (Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor). In the second half of 2006, we began shipping engineering samples of these chips in the Evaluation and Verification Kit. In the second half of 2006, we also announced the TT-1013, which is a package that incorpora tes both the FS1100 and FS1200. The potential applications for these chips are widespread, including:

·       Wireless USB Dongles and Hubs;

·       Printers;

·       D igital Still Cameras;

·       Video Camcorders;

·       Portable Media Players;

·       External Hard Drives;

·       Media Centers;

5




·       Media Adaptors;

·       Televisions;

·       Personal Computers;

·       Portable Telephones;

·       Smart Phones;

·       GPS Navigation Devices; and

·       Professional Video Products

We believe the breadth of applications provides us substantial opportunity to grow in a new market.

Systems products

Our systems product line includes products in four main categories:

·                  Video Acquisition and Production;

·                  Media Asset Management;

·                  Media Conversion; and

·                  Digital Signage and Media Delivery

Each of our product categories has specific market segment focus, and together offer a broad range of digital video solutions. Specific product functionality includes recording video to disk, digital video mixing, digital video file conversion, encoding, playout, streaming, presentation, and rich media management. We sell our products through a network of distributors in more than 50 countries worldwide.

Video Acquisition and Production.  Our FireStore disk recorder dynamically formats digital media into specific formats for most major non-linear editing programs (NLE’s), prior to recording this media to a standard computer hard drive. FireStore greatly improves the production workflow by eliminating post-acquisition capture steps. We have named this process, Direct To Edit ® (“DTE”). Since 2003, we have constantly broadened the FireStore product line. In 2003, we introduced the camera-mounted FireStore FS-3 and the FireStore DRDV-5000 variation, which we manufacture for JVC Corporation. In that same year, we acquired certain intangible assets of DVUnlimited, a small Hungarian company, to integrate digital video file conversion utility programs into out FireStore line. In April 2004, FireStore FS-2 Studio DTE recorder began to ship, this was followed in 2005 by the FireStore FS-4, a smaller more portable version. In March 2006, we began shipping the FS-100, a custom model for Panasonic that is capable of higher bit rate recording as required for Panasonic’s DVCPRO format. In 2006, we completed a standard definition to high definition transition for all FS-4 variations.

Our MX-4TM family of digital video mixers, serve the live video production markets as well as the post-acquisition video mixing markets.

Media Asset Management.  Our ProxSys® family of media asset management products, acquired in our 2004 acquisition of COMO, allows customers to upload, store, search, and playout media and media-related data. ProxSys is sold through system integrators who primarily target education, post production, medical, legal, and corporate applications.  Components of the ProxSys family include live and scheduled capture, 24/7 play, storage, conversion and 24/7 channel monitoring.  Typically, a ProxSys model can store and serve out hundreds of hours of media to user groups ranging from small 10-25 person production companies to enterprise-sized organizations.

Media Conversion. Our consumer line of converters, TViewTM, builds on PC-to-TV convergence technology. TView products, which are sub-categorized Gold, Silver and Micro for performance and description, convert any standard television into a large screen computer display. The product line targets presenters, educators, trainers and the expanding gamers market. The majority of the products in the consumer line integrate core technology provided by our FS401/2/3 series of chips. 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, TView is offered in multiple forms including a portable version for mobile users. Our studio converters include the MC-2E, a single-rack mount converter featuring DV, Serial Digital and analog cross-conversion.

Digital Signage and Media Delivery. Our family of products resulting from the acquisition of Visual Circuits enables customers to manage, distribute and present standard and high definition video and graphics over networks using media servers, players and control software. Solutions range from single channel play-out solutions to enterprise-sized deployments that involve hundreds of channels. The family includes our MantisTM HD MPEG players, FireFlyTM SD

6




MPEG players, and Media MessengerTM and DARTTM control software. In addition to these products, we also sell SD and HD MPEG decoder computer cards to a number of integrators that incorporate these into their own OEM media products.

Research and Development

We continue to invest heavily in research and development. Of the $12.7 million invested in research and development in 2006, constituting almost 26% of our revenue, approximately 75% was spent on our UWB chip development and related activities, with the remainder supporting research and development on our systems products.

Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights

As of December 31, 2006, we held five patents and four pending 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 our proprietary information.

Upon employment with us, employees and consultants are generally 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. There can be no assurance that any of 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

As with most electronic equipment manufacturers, we introduce new products and technologies at industry conferences such as the International Consumer Electronics Show, International Broadcasting Convention and the National Association of Broadcasters Expo. In addition to these events, we also visit and present at major conferences in our target markets.  It is our experience that our presence at these conferences adds to our name recognition and market acceptance.

Distribution

In the United States and Canada, we market and sell our products through the following channels:

Semiconductor products:

·                  direct to our customers; and

·                  indirectly through OEM relationships.

Systems products:

·                  national distributors such as Ingram Micro, D&H Distributing and DBL Distributing;

·                  third party mail order resellers such as B&H Photo and CDW;

·                  Value Added Resellers (“VARs”) and System Integrators; and

·                  directly to our customers via our Web site.

Internationally, we sell our products directly to large semiconductor customers, resellers, independent mail order companies and system and semiconductor distributors in numerous countries, including France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Australia, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, the Republic of Korea and in Scandinavia.

Customer Support

We believe that our future success will depend, in part, upon the continued strength of our customer relationships. In an effort to ensure customer satisfaction, we currently provide customer service and technical support through a five-days-per-week telephone service. We primarily use a local telephone number for customer service and a local telephone number for technical support for which the customer pays the phone charge. 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 base level of support to our entire domestic market including direct market customers that purchase our products through national resellers, mail order, value added resellers 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 our systems customers with a 90-day to two-year warranty on all products and will repair or replace a defective product 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 our customers through its own application engineers located in the United States, Korea, Japan and Taiwan, as well as through application engineers employed by our representatives and distributors. We replace those ASIC chips that are proven to be defective at the time of installation by our customers.

Competition

The video technology market is intensely competitive and characterized by rapid technological innovations. At times 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.

We believe that our semiconductor products compete for market share with the following companies in the following markets:

·                  Videographic ASIC - Conexant Systems Inc., NXP Semiconductor, and Chrontel Inc.; and

·                  UWB - - Alereon Inc., Realtek, Wisair, TZero, Sigma Designs, WiQuest, and Staccato Communications, Inc.

We believe that our systems products compete for market share with the following companies in the following markets:

·                  Video Acquisition and Production – Datavideo, Editrol, For-A, and Shining;

·                  Media Asset Management –Cinegy, Dalet, North Plains, and Sonic Foundry;

·                  Media Conversion - - ADS Technologies , AverMedia Technologies, Canopus, Laird Telemedia, Miranda; and

·                  Digital Signage and Media Delivery – Adtec, Digital View, Electrosonic, Enseo, Sencore, Scala, Stradis, and Vela.

Some of our competitors have greater technical and capital resources, more marketing experience, and larger research and development staffs than we have. At any time, actions of these competitors and other technological developments in the market place could have a substantial adverse impact on our business.

We believe that our products compete favorably on the basis of product quality and technical benefits and features. We also believe that we provide competitive pricing, quality, 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 manufacturing our systems products. The first model utilizes components that we purchase and then send to the manufacturer who in turn manufactures board level subassemblies. The products that incorporate these subassemblies are completed, tested and distributed to customers by us

8




from our facility in Campbell, California. This model provides for higher margin and control in a lower volume product. The second model is subcontractor type that uses a turnkey manufacturer who builds the entire product as designed and specified by us for a fixed price. The turnkey house is responsible for component procurement, board level assembly, product assembly, quality control testing and final packaging. In addition, some board level assembly and testing for low volume products are obtained through these turnkey houses. For certain commercial PC-to-TV video conversion products, turnkey manufacturers ship directly to the OEM customer and forward shipping information to us for our billing.

Our four turnkey manufacturers accounted for 80% of our manufacturing capabilities in 2006. One manufacturer, based in Taiwan, supplies the portable versions of our DTE disk recorders including FS-4 and FS-100 and all of our scan conversion products for the computer and display markets; another manufacturer in Minnesota provides all of our digital signage products; a third manufacturer in Korea currently provides the majority of our ASIC production; and a fourth manufacturer in California provides our video mixer 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 centers. Management believes that the turnkey model is appropriate for higher-volume products and helps us to lower inventory and staff requirements, maintain better quality control and product flexibility, achieve higher product turns and improved cash flow.

All customer returns are processed through our fulfillment centers. Upon receipt of a returned product, a 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 usually within ten business days.

Personnel

As of December 31, 2006, we employed 143 people on a full-time basis, of whom 18 were in operations, 47 in sales and marketing, 63 in research and development and 15 in finance and administration.

Backlog

At December 31, 2006, we had a backlog of approximately $2.4 million for products ordered by customers as compared to a backlog of approximately $903,000 at December 31, 2005. We do not believe backlog for products ordered by customers is a meaningful indicator of future sales for a particular time period since the historical order patterns of our customers has demonstrated that backlog is episodic.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a long history of operating losses.

As of December 31, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $105.3 million. We incurred net losses of $15.9 million, $15.4 million and $11.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. There can be no assurance that we will ever become profitable. Additionally, our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 with respect to substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.

We will need to raise additional capital, which, if through equity securities placements, will result in further dilution of existing and future stockholders.

Historically, we have met our short- and long-term cash needs through debt issuances 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 through private placements of our convertible debt, common stock and through the exercise of stock options and warrants:

We received gross proceeds of $6.3 million from the issuance of common stock to a group of private investors in February 2007. While we believe that these funds, along with the cash flow generated by our anticipated growth in our Semiconductor and Systems businesses, should be adequate to enable us to complete our UWB engineering development and launch commercialization of UWB products. Depending upon the results and timing of our UWB initiative and the growth of our Semiconductor and Systems businesses, we may need to raise further capital in 2007 or in subsequent years. 2007 and future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including cash flow from operations, maintaining our gross margins at current levels, continued progress in research and development programs, competing technological and market developments, and our ability to market our products successfully.  There can be no assurance that additional equity or debt financing, if required, will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Moreover, any equity financing or convertible debt financing would result in dilution to our existing stockholders and could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

From November 2005 to early May 2006 and late May 2006 to mid July 2006, our common stock did not meet the minimum bid price requirement to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If we were to be delisted, it could make trading in our stock more difficult and our $10.9 million outstanding principal amount of convertible notes would be deemed immediately payable at the option of the holders.

Our voting common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There are various quantitative listing requirements for a company to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, including maintaining a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share of common stock and maintaining stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million. On June 27, 2006, the Nasdaq Stock Market notified us that for the previous 30 consecutive business days the bid price of our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share price requirement for continued inclusion under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. We were given until December 26, 2006 to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market $1.00 minimum bid price rule. On July 28, 2006, we received notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market that we had met the compliance standards and the matter was closed.

At December 31, 2006, we had total stockholders’ equity of $6.0 million. To the extent we incur net losses and do not raise additional equity capital, our stockholders’ equity would decline. If the minimum bid price of our common stock were to close below $1.00 for 30 consecutive days, or our stockholders equity fell below the $2.5 million and we did not otherwise have $35 million market value of our securities, we would likely again receive notification from the Nasdaq Capital Market that we were not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price rule. If we do not regain compliance within the allotted

10




compliance period, including any extensions that may be granted by the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market would notify us that our common stock would be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, eliminating the only established trading market for our shares. We would then be entitled to appeal this determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel and request a hearing. If we fail at such hearing in our efforts to retain our listing, we would be delisted.

In the event we are delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, we would be forced to list our shares on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board or some other quotation medium, such as the 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 trade, or to obtain accurate price quotations for, such shares. Delisting might also reduce the visibility, liquidity, and price of our voting common stock. In the event our common stock was not listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market or another established automated over-the-counter trading market in the United States, all amounts outstanding under our $10.9 million senior secured convertible notes would become due and payable at the option of the holders.

We are dependent upon a significant shareholder to meet our financing needs and there can be no assurance that this shareholder will continue to provide financing.

We have relied upon the ability of Carl Berg, a director and significant owner of our common stock, for interim financing needs. Mr. Berg has provided a personal guarantee to Samsung Semiconductor Inc., one of our contract ASIC manufacturers, to secure our working capital requirements for ASIC purchase order fulfillment and a personal guarantee to Greater Bay Bank, N.A. in connection with our existing $4.0 million accounts receivable-based line of credit facility and $2.5 million term loan. In connection with these guarantees, Mr. Berg maintains a security interest in all the Company’s assets, subject to the bank’s lien on our accounts receivable, and has subordinated that security interest in accounts receivable to holders of our convertible debt. 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 our vendors.

We have a significant amount of convertible securities that will dilute existing stockholders upon conversion.

At March 16, 2007, we had outstanding 3,161 shares of preferred shares, 4,236,110 warrants, and 5,714,642 options, and $10.9 million of convertible notes, which are all exercisable into or convertible for shares of common stock. The 3,161 shares of preferred stock are convertible into 3,161,000 shares of our voting common stock and the convertible notes are convertible into 10,946,250 shares of common stock. Furthermore, at March 16, 2007, 2,125,330 additional shares of common stock were available for grant to our employees, officers, directors and consultants under our current stock option and incentive plans. We also may issue additional shares in acquisitions and additional convertible notes as interest payments on our outstanding convertible notes. Any additional grant of options under existing or future plans or issuance of shares in connection with an acquisition or issuance of additional convertible notes will further dilute existing stockholders.

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 future delays. Given the short product life cycles in the markets for certain products, any delay or unanticipated difficulty associated with new product introductions or product enhancements could cause us to lose customers, damage our competitive position and not achieve revenues which would otherwise have been the case.  Prior delays have resulted from numerous factors, such as:

·                  changing product specifications;

·                  the discontinuation of certain third party components;

·                  difficulties in hiring and retaining necessary personnel;

·                  difficulties in reallocating engineering resources and other resource limitations;

·                  difficulties with independent contractors;

·                  changing market or competitive product requirements;

·                  unanticipated engineering complexity;

·                  undetected errors or failures in software and hardware; and

·                  delays in the acceptance or shipment of products by customers.

11




The development of new, technologically advanced products, including our significant investment in UWB, is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation and highly skilled engineering and development personnel, as well as the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. In order to compete, we must be able to deliver to customers products that are highly reliable, operate with the customer’s existing equipment, lower the customer’s costs of acquisition, installation and maintenance, and provide an overall cost-effective solution. We may not be able to identify, develop, manufacture, market or support new or enhanced products successfully, if at all, or on a timely basis. Further, our new products may not gain market acceptance or we may not be able to respond effectively to product announcements by competitors, technological changes or emerging industry standards. Our failure to respond effectively to technological changes would significantly harm our business. Finally, there can be no assurances we will be successful in our product development efforts.

We rely on certain vendors for a significant portion of our manufacturing. If these vendors experience delays in the production and shipping of our products, this would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

At December 31, 2006, approximately 80% of our products are manufactured on a turnkey basis by four vendors: BTW Inc., Furthertec Company Ltd., Samsung Semiconductor Inc. and Veris Manufacturing. If these vendors experience production or shipping problems for any reason, we in turn could experience delays in the production and shipping of our products, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

A significant portion of our semiconductor revenue is from products that are designed for consumer goods that have seasonal sales. To the extent that consumers do not purchase end products in which our products appear demand for our products and our revenues will decline.

A significant portion of our semiconductor revenue is subject to risks associated with seasonal sales of certain end products through retail outlets, with a majority of such sales occurring from October through December. As a result, our annual operating results with respect to sales of our semiconductor chips designed into newly introduced products depend, in large part, on the quantity of consumer purchases of certain end products during the relatively brief holiday season.

We are dependent on our suppliers. If our suppliers experience labor problems, supply shortages or product discontinuations, this would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We purchase all of our 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, delay shipment, or cause us to cease production of our products, which, in turn could adversely affect our results of operations.

If we fail to meet certain covenants required by our credit facilities, we may not be able to draw down on such facilities and our ability to finance our operations could be adversely affected.

We have access to a $4.0 million credit line under which we can borrow up to 90% of our eligible outstanding accounts receivable and a $2.5 million term loan with the same bank. The various agreements in connection with such credit line and term loan require us to maintain certain covenants. At December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all covenants, including the net loss covenant. In the event we violate any covenants and are not able to obtain a waiver, we will not be able to draw down on the line of credit or term loan, and any amounts outstanding under such line of credit or term loan may become immediately due and payable. Either event could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operation.

Furthermore, the restrictions contained in the line of credit and term loan documents, as well as the terms of other indebtedness we may incur from time-to-time, could limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions or meet capital needs or otherwise restrict our activities or business plans. These restrictions could also adversely affect our ability to finance our operations, meet other capital needs, or to engage in other business activities that would be in our interest.

12




Certain events will result in our senior secured convertible notes becoming due and payable prior to maturity or will require us to repurchase our senior secured convertible notes prior to maturity, either of which would adversely affect our ability to finance our operations.

The provisions of our senior secured convertible notes, due January 1, 2011, provide that if we, among other things: (i) default on any principal or interest payment on our senior secured convertible notes; (ii) fail to comply with any of our covenants in the documents governing the issuance of our senior secured convertible notes; (iii) do not pay at final maturity (either at stated maturity or upon acceleration) any of our other indebtedness with an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 million, the outstanding principal and accrued interest on such notes will become due and payable. In addition, our senior secured convertible notes provide, that, upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the holders of the notes will have the right to require us to repurchase any or all of such notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest: (i) failure of our common stock to be traded on a national securities exchange, Nasdaq Stock Market or another established automated over-the-counter trading market in the United States or (ii) acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding voting stock or merger with another company if our then shareholders do not continue to own a majority of our outstanding voting stock. At December 31, 2006, we owed $10.9 million under our senior secured convertible notes. Repayment of this amount prior to stated maturity would adversely impact our ability to finance our operations or other capital needs.

If we are unable to renew or extend our existing line of credit or term loan upon their expiration date, our ability to finance our operations could be adversely affected.

Our $2.5 million term loan and a $4.0 million credit line expire on February 23, 2008. If we are unable to renew the term loan or credit line on favorable terms upon expiration, we would be required to immediately pay all outstanding obligations under these facilities. Repayment of the principal amounts and interest due could adversely affect our other capital requirements, as well as our ability to finance our operations on an ongoing basis.

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 and affect our cash flow.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, our five largest customers collectively provided 43% of our total revenue and as of December 31, 2006, comprised 40% of our accounts receivable balance. Sales to one customer accounted for 24% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2006. 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. The loss of any major customer, the failure of any major customer to pay us, or failure of a major customer to issue additional purchase orders, would have a material adverse effect on our revenue, results of operation, and business as a whole, absent the timely replacement of the associated revenues and profit margins associated with such business. Furthermore, since many of our semiconductor products are integrated into our customers’ products, these products are dependent upon the overall success of our customers’ products, over which we often have no control.

Our quarterly financial results are subject to significant fluctuations and if actual revenues are less than projected revenues, we may be unable to reduce expenses proportionately, and our operating results, cash flows and liquidity would likely be adversely affected.

We have been unable in the past to forecast accurately our operating expenses and revenue. 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 our operating results, cash flows and liquidity would likely be adversely affected.

Our markets are subject to rapid technological change, and to compete effectively, we must continually introduce new products, requiring a significant influx of additional capital.

Many of our markets are characterized by extensive research and development and rapid technological change resulting in short product life cycles. Development by others of better, 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, such as our significant investment in UWB technology. To

13




fund such ongoing research and development, we will require a significant influx of additional capital. There can be no assurance that we will succeed with these efforts. Failure to effectively develop such products, notably our UWB technology, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to protect our proprietary information.

As of December 31, 2006, we held five patents and four pending 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 our 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.

In addition, we occasionally receive notices by third parties of claims regarding infringement by our products of intellectual property rights held by such third parties. Since 2001, we have not had to engage in any material litigation or incur material expenses regarding such claims. However, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us in the future or that such claims will not result in costly litigation or require us to license intellectual proprietary rights from third parties. In addition, there can be no assurance that any such licenses would be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

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.  Our future success will depend on our ability to do the following:

·                  both license and internally develop leading technologies useful in our business;

·                  enhance our existing technologies;

·                  develop new services and technology that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our prospective customers; and

·                  respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.

To develop our proprietary technology entails significant technical and business risks. We may use new technologies ineffectively, or we may fail to adapt our 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.

We typically operate without a significant amount of backlog, which could have an adverse impact on our operating results.

We typically operate with a small amount of backlog. Accordingly, we generally do not have a material backlog of unfilled orders, and revenues in any quarter are substantially dependent on orders booked in that quarter. Any significant weakening in current customer demand for any of our lead products would therefore have, and has had in the past, an almost immediate adverse impact on our operating results.

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, 2006 and March 16, 2007, the per share price has fluctuated between $0.62 and $1.85 per share, closing at $1.32 on March 16, 2007. The trading price of our voting common stock is likely to continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors including the following:

14




·                                          actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;

·                                          announcements of technological innovations or failures, new sales formats or new products or services by us or our competitors;

·                                          cyclical nature of consumer products using our technology;

·                                          changes in financial estimates by us or securities analysts;

·                                          changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other multi-media, or fabless semiconductor companies;

·                                          announcements by us of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

·                                          additions or departures of key personnel;

·                                          additions or losses of significant customers; and

·                                          sales of common stock or issuance of other dilutive securities.

In addition, the securities markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent times, 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 subject to a securities class action, then it could result in additional substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations that could impose substantial costs upon us and may adversely affect our business.

Some of our operations are subject to state, federal, and international laws governing protection of the environment, human health and safety, and regulating the use of certain chemical substances. We endeavor to comply with these environmental laws, yet compliance with such laws could increase our operations and product costs. Any violation of these laws can subject us to significant liability, including fines and penalties, and prohibit sales of our products in one or more states or countries, and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Recent environmental legislation within the European Union (EU) may increase our cost of doing business internationally and impact our revenues from EU countries as we comply with and implement these new requirements. The European Parliament has enacted the Restriction on Use of Hazardous Substances Directive, or “RoHS Directive,” which restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. We need to redesign products containing hazardous substances regulated under the RoHS Directive to reduce or eliminate regulated hazardous substances contained in our products. As an example, certain of our products include lead, which is included in the list of restricted substances.

As of December 31, 2006, our semiconductor products and many of our systems products complied with the RoHS Directive. However, due to the level of effort and cost in redesigning products, certain systems products will not be redesigned to become RoHS compliant. Such decisions have been made based on the products estimated remaining life and the products primary sales regions being located outside the EU. For certain of our mixer and digital signage products, we continue our compliance efforts but do not expect to meet the requirements of the RoHS Directive until March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, respectively. As a result, we will be unable to sell these products into the EU market absent compliance. These delays may have an adverse effect on our overall sales and results of operations.

Any acquisitions of companies or technologies by us 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 February 2004 when we acquired the stock of COMO Computer and Motion GmbH and in May 2004 when we acquired substantially all the assets of Visual Circuits Corporation. From time-to-time, we may engage in discussions and negotiations with companies regarding the possibility of 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, if 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

15




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 otherwise affect 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 accounting for significant goodwill and intangible assets, which, if impaired, will adversely affect our consolidated results of operations. The accounting treatment for any potential acquisition may also result in a charge for in-process research and development expense, as was the case with the acquisition of Visual Circuits Corporation, which will negatively affect our consolidated results of operations.

We are exposed to potential risks from legislation requiring companies to evaluate financial controls under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls. We will be required to meet the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act by December 31, 2007. Compliance with the requirements of Section 404 is expected to be expensive and time-consuming. We estimate that we will spend approximately $650,000 to comply. If we fail to complete this evaluation in a timely manner, or if our independent registered public accounting firm cannot timely attest to our evaluation, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence in our internal controls. In addition, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.

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 an economic or currency crisis 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 businesses are very competitive.

The computer peripheral and semiconductor 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. 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 and semiconductor markets are highly competitive and 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 from both existing manufacturers and new market entrants. Increased competition and rapid technological advances 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 these markets.

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 product offerings which may confer a competitive advantage based upon their ability either to bundle their equipment in certain large system sales or combine products more cost effectively than we can offer.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

From time-to-time, we are party to certain claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business of which, in the opinion of management, do not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operation.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations

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, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to contract revenue, customer programs and incentives, product returns, accounts receivable allowances, inventory valuation allowances, warranty accruals, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, 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 with customers, which include price discounts, credits and returns, when demand for specific products falls below expectations. If market conditions for our products were to decline, we could experience an increase in the volume of returns and our reported revenue would be affected accordingly. However, currently only a limited number of our consumer channel distributors have return rights under their agreements with us. In connection with these agreements, distributors may return or exchange slow moving inventory held by such distributors. However, these return rights are limited to 25% of the distributor’s prior quarter purchases. We recognize contract revenue and profit as work progresses on long-term, fixed price contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, which relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. We use this method since reasonably dependable estimates of the revenue and costs applicable to various stages of the contract can be made. Recognized revenue and profit are subject to revisions as a 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. Provisions for the entire amount of estimated losses, or uncompleted contracts are made in the periods such losses are determined.

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, in certain situations we will require confirmed letters of credit or cash in advance of shipping to specific 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 our component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by component and product failure rates. Should actual product failure rates differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

We evaluate our ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence at each balance sheet date. This evaluation includes review of materials usage, market conditions and product life cycles and an analysis of sales levels by product and projections of future demand and market conditions. We reserve for inventories that are considered excess or obsolete. We adjust remaining inventory balances to approximate the lower of our standard manufacturing cost or market value. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required, and would be reflected in cost of product revenues in the period the revision is made.

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 revenue. 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 possible future impairment expense that we may incur, and in the case of intangible assets, the amount of future period amortization expense. 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

22




their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets which will reduce their value and could affect current period reported earnings. We performed our annual impairment assessment of goodwill and intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2006, and no impairment was recorded.

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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

In 2006, both our Systems and Semiconductor groups demonstrated significant growth in revenue and gross margin. Overall company revenue grew 53% and gross margin improved as a percentage of revenue by 9.1% year-over-year from 36.8% to 45.9%.

The Systems group’s revenue growth reflects the trend to high definition video format and the need for greater storage capacity in a digital world. Professional and prosumer videographers are using HD more frequently in their recording and post-production activities. We believe the growing number of daily network and cable telecasts, movies and other special programming now coming in HD, bodes well for demand in this key market segment.

The dramatic revenue growth from our Semiconductor group was primarily due to customers incorporating our video convergence chips in their portable media player designs. As digital media is being transported through an ever increasing number of devices, demand for semiconductor convergence chips, like those of our Semiconductor group, is increasing in parts of the electronics sector, including end products for portable media players, automotive and mobile entertainment, IPTV set-top boxes, medical imaging, and handheld GPS systems.

We expect the factors that drove our revenue increase in 2006 — the trend to HD products and the success of our video convergence chips — to continue in 2007. However, a significant portion of our 2006 semiconductor revenue was associated with the introduction of one new consumer product by a well known consumer electronics (“CE”) company. The product includes integrated components which use our video convergence chips. We shipped a large volume of our products to meet this manufacturer’s demand and do not know how many of its products were shipped, and of those shipped, how many were sold to end users.  We do not know if the CE company will re-order our chips for use in subsequent versions of its product. If we do not receive subsequent orders, we would have to replace the lost revenue in order to duplicate or improve upon last year’s results. Failure to do so could adversely affect our results of operations.

The impact of higher margin products and increased revenue increased our absolute gross margin as a percentage of revenue by 9.1%, from 36.8% for the year ended December 31, 2005 to 45.9% for the year ended December 31, 2006.

In 2006, we continued to make a significant investment in research and development which resulted in significant progress in developing our UWB wireless video technology. In the second half of 2006, we began shipping engineering samples of these UWB chips in our Evaluation and Verification Kit. We expect to begin shipments of production UWB chips in the second half of 2007.

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $37.5 million, an increase of $12.9 million compared with the year ended December 31, 2005.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, sales of systems products were approximately $25.0 million compared to $21.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $3.9 million or 18%. This increase was due to the strong sales of our high definition Direct to Edit FireStore product line with our camera partners Panasonic, JVC, and Canon and increased sales of ProxSys, partially offset by decreased sales of our mature mixer and scan version products. Revenue from our mixer product has been trending lower over the past 12 months as video enthusiasts continue to move from stand-alone editing systems to computer based or non-linear editing systems.

Sales of semiconductor products to distributors and OEM customers were approximately $12.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $3.4 million for 2005. The $9.0 million increase in sales of semiconductor products (approximately 265%) was primarily driven by customers incorporating our video convergence chips in their portable media player (PMP) designs.  For the year ended December 31, 2006, one semiconductor customer represented approximately 24% of our total revenue and approximately 72% of our semiconductor revenue.

At December 31, 2006, our backlog was approximately $2.4 million for products ordered by customers, compared to a backlog of $903,000 at December 31, 2005. This increase reflects increased orders for our portable Direct to Edit products and video convergence chips. Our backlog frequently varies and is not indicative of quarterly performance for the products covered by such orders.

Sales, marketing and support

Sales, marketing and support expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $8.9 million, compared to $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $2.3 million but a 3.4% decline as a percentage of revenue for the same period.

The increase in sales, marketing and support expenses mainly reflects an increase in payroll expense of $1.2 million resulting from an increase in employees in our Systems customer support department and Semiconductor sales department, an increase in commission and bonus expense primarily reflecting the increase in sales revenue, an increase of $155,000 in stock-based compensation, an increase of $300,000 in consultants and temporary help, an increase of $273,000 related to trade show expenses and $229,000 in increased advertising and direct marketing expenses associated with lead generation and web marketing during the period. For the year ended December 31, 2006, stock-based compensation included in sales, marketing and support expenses totaled $155,000. No stock-based compensation charges were included for the year ended December 31, 2005.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $4.1 million, an increase of $89,000 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 but a 5.4% decline as a percentage of revenue for the same period.

The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to an increase in payroll and payroll-related expenses (overtime, employer taxes, benefits, commission and bonus) of $292,000, partially offset by a decrease in legal fees of $110,000 and a decrease in recruiting expenses of $57,000. Stock-based compensation charges of $264,000 and $285,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively, were included in general and administrative expenses.

Research and development

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $12.7 million, a decrease of $71,000 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 and an 18.2% decline as a percentage of revenue for the same period.

The decrease in research and development expenses mainly reflects a decrease in consulting and temporary help expenses of $1.8 million related to our UWB chip design, partially offset by an increase in payroll and payroll-related expenses (overtime, employer taxes, benefits, commission and bonus) of $563,000, increase of stock compensation charges of $211,000, increased material and prototyping charges of $600,000, increased license fees of $254,000 for design tools and tooling expenses of $210,000 related to our UWB initiative. The lower consulting and temporary help expense is due to the UWB development project moving from the chip design phase to the production phase. Stock-based compensation charges of $211,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 was included in research and development expenses. No stock-based compensation charges were included for the year ended December 31, 2005.

In 2007, to complete our UWB products we plan continued significant investment in the development and production of the UWB technology - see note 2, “Management’s Plans” of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

Net interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1.4 million, compared to $298,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $1.1 million. This increase mainly reflects interest expense on convertible notes, of which $10.0 million, $425,000 and $521,250 were issued on January 27, 2006, June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2006, respectively, and remained outstanding on December 31, 2006. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2006, a charge of $292,000 was recorded to interest expense as a result of the issuance of the December 30, 2006 convertible notes. On the date of issuance, the fair market value of our stock exceeded the $1.00 conversion price of the convertible notes, resulting in a beneficial conversion feature.

The $4.0 million derivative liability represents the fair value of the conversion option in connection with the $10.0 million convertible notes issued in January 2006. The value of the conversion option was bifurcated from the debt host contract and recorded as a derivative liability, which resulted in a discount to the initial carrying amount of the convertible notes. The $4.0 million discount was immediately expensed in the consolidated statements of operations as value of derivative security since the notes may be converted to common stock at any time after issuance.

Effective June 28, 2006, we amended certain agreements associated with the $10.0 million convertible notes, eliminating the derivative component. However, we were required to revalue the derivative liability as of the amendment date. Therefore, as a result of fluctuations in the price of our common stock, and its volatility between the date the notes were issued and the June 28, 2006 amendment date, the fair value of the derivative liability increased by

26




$1.4 million resulting in an additional $1.4 million expense charge for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Other income (expense) for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 consists mainly of fluctuations associated with exchange rate differences related to transactions denominated in foreign currency.

Our tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $58,000 is primarily comprised of minimum tax payments due within the United States and taxes due in foreign locations.

The tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $23,000 is comprised of a $47,000 tax benefit generated by our foreign subsidiary, COMO, offset by a $24,000 tax provision related to minimum tax payments due within the United States and other foreign locations. The $47,000 tax benefit generated by COMO resulted primarily from the tax benefit associated with COMO’s 2005 operating losses and the reduction of a deferred tax liability associated with the amortization of intangible assets.

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $24.6 million, an increase of $4.5 million compared with the year ended December 31, 2004.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, sales of systems products were approximately $21.1 million compared to $16.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $4.6 million or 28%. This increase in sales of our systems products mainly reflects the introduction of a new variation of FireStore — the FS-4 — and sales of products acquired through the acquisitions of COMO in February 2004 and Visual Circuits in May 2004, partially offset by a decrease in sales of our consumer scan conversion and home theater products. Our consumer scan conversion product sales have decreased in recent years as an increasing number of personal computers and televisions now incorporate scan conversion technology. We discontinued our home theater line in 2004.

Sales of semiconductor products to distributors and OEM customers were approximately $3.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $3.5 million for 2004. The $59,000 decrease in sales of semiconductor products (approximately 1.7%) mainly reflects a $1.0 million decrease in sales of our FS454 chip, partially offset by production ramps in 2005 for Internet protocol television (IPTV) set-top boxes and portable media players by our customers incorporating our chips in their device designs. The decrease in sales of our FS454 chip was primarily due to Microsoft ceasing significant orders for the FS454 in January 2004. The FS454 had been used by Microsoft in its Xbox.

27




At December 31, 2005, we had a backlog of approximately $903,000 for products ordered by customers, compared to a backlog of $1.5 million at December 31, 2004. The decrease between December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 reflects orders for our digital video mixer and FireStore products at December 31, 2004, reflecting delays in these new product releases until the first quarter of 2005. Our backlog orders frequently vary and are not indicative of quarterly performance for the products reflected in such order backlogs.

Our gross margin rate for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased as a percentage of revenue by 4.3% to 36.8% from 32.5% in the year ended December 31, 2004.

The increase in gross margin rate mainly reflects increased sales volumes, the below average gross margin business that we had conducted with Microsoft in the three months ended March 31, 2004, which did not occur in the year ended December 31, 2005, $667,000 of inventory acquired from COMO and Visual Circuits and sold in 2004 at low margin, and an accrual in 2004 of $100,000 for a royalty payment based on the achievement of certain sales volumes. These factors were partially offset by the increase in sales discounts and low-margin chip sales to one customer in the year ended December 31, 2005.

Sales, marketing and support

Sales, marketing and support expenses for year ended December 31, 2005 were $6.7 million, compared to $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $1.8 million or 37.4% from the prior year.

The increase in sales, marketing and support expenses mainly reflects an increase in salary expense of $900,000 resulting from an overall increase in headcount of 13 in our business development and customer support departments and Semiconductor group. Also contributing to the increase sales, marketing and support expenses were additional advertising expenses of $340,000 associated with introductions of our new FS-4 and mixer products, and increased sales and representative commission expense of $390,000 as a result of increased revenue attributable to our new products. The increase in sales, marketing and support expenses also reflects, to a lesser extent, the inclusion of Visual Circuits

28




and COMO’s sales and marketing expenses for the entire period. Visual Circuits’ and COMO’s expenses were only partially included in the year ended December 31, 2004 as the respective acquisitions occurred on May 28, 2004 and February 27, 2004, respectively.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $4.1 million, compared to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $949,000 or 30.5%.

The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to an increase in personnel and personnel-related costs of $613,000, mainly reflecting the addition of three employees, stock compensation charges of $311,000 related to restricted stock and warrants expensed in 2005, and the extension of employee stock options in 2005.

Research and development

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $12.8 million, compared to $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $4.2 million.

The increase in research and development expenses reflects almost entirely our investment in UWB technology, which resulted in an increase in research and development expenses of $4.5 million over those in 2004. This increased investment in UWB consisted mainly of an increase in semiconductor design service fees of $2.2 million, increased personnel costs of $1.4 million, reflect 13 employees hired during the later part of 2004 and six additional employees hired during 2005, and an increase in direct material and prototyping costs of $632,000. The increase in research and development expenses in the year ended December 31, 2005, was partially offset by expense reductions in our Systems business’ research and development activities mainly reflecting decreased prototyping material costs.

The increase in net interest expense primarily reflects interest expense associated with our accounts receivable-based line of credit and term loan, both of which were not outstanding in 2004. The increase in net interest expense was partially offset by interest expense on convertible promissory notes, which were outstanding until their conversion into common and preferred stock in March 2004.

Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 consists mainly of fluctuations associated with exchange rate differences related to transactions denominated in Euros.

The tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $23,000 is comprised of a $47,000 tax benefit generated by our foreign subsidiary, COMO, offset by a $24,000 tax provision related to minimum tax payments due within the United States and other foreign locations. The $47,000 tax benefit generated by COMO resulted primarily from the tax benefit associated with COMO’s 2005 operating losses and the reduction of a deferred tax liability associated with the amortization of intangible assets.

The tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $282,000 is comprised of a $298,000 tax benefit generated by our foreign subsidiary, COMO, offset by a $16,000 tax provision related to minimum tax payments due within the United States and other foreign locations. The $298,000 tax benefit generated by COMO resulted primarily from the tax benefit associated with COMO’s 2004 operating losses and the reduction of a deferred tax liability associated with the amortization of intangible assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we incurred net losses of $15.9 million, $15.4 million and $11.0 million, respectively, and used cash in operating activities of $8.3 million, $12.5 million and $9.4 million, respectively. Absent continued access to capital from the sale of securities or other sources, we 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 we be unable to continue as a going concern. Continuing as a going concern depends upon our ability to generate sufficient positive cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to return to profitability.

30




Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the public and private sale of common stock and other convertible debt securities, lines of credit and debt borrowings from financial institutions, proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants, short-term borrowings or guarantees from private lenders (including individuals) and credit arrangements with vendors and suppliers.

Net cash used in operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $8.3 million, $12.5 million and $9.4 million, respectively.

Net cash used in operating activities of $8.3 million in 2006 reflected our net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, of $7.2 million, and cash used for working capital of $1.1 million. Non-cash income statement items included the value of derivative liability of $4.0 million and the $1.4 million change in value of the derivative liability both associated with the convertible notes, depreciation and amortization of $1.5 million, stock-based compensation expense of $662,000, accrued interest on convertible notes of $974,000 and the non-cash interest expense on convertible notes of $292,000. The changes in working capital were mainly due to an increase in accounts receivable of $893,000, reflecting an increase in sales, an increase in inventories of $235,000 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $395,000 and accrued liabilities of $273,000, primarily attributable to the timing of our payments related to our UWB initiative.

Net cash used in operating activities of $12.5 million in 2005 reflected our net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, of $13.7 million, partially offset by changes in working capital of $1.2 million. Non-cash income statement items included depreciation and amortization of $1.4 million, stock compensation expense of $242,000 and the amortization of debt issuance costs of $69,000. The changes in working capital were mainly due to an increase in accrued liabilities of $816,000, primarily attributable to project expenses related to our investment in UWB technology, and an increase in our accounts payable of $512,000, which reflected the timing of our payments.

31




Net cash used in operating activities in 2004 of $9.4 million reflected our net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, of $9.4 million, partially offset by changes in working capital of $19,000. Non-cash income statement items included depreciation and amortization of $1.2 million, stock compensation expense of $42,000 and a charge for in-process research and development expense of $300,000 related to our acquisition of Visual Circuits. The changes in working capital were mainly due to an increase in accrued liabilities of $474,000, reflecting project expenses related to our investment in UWB technology, partially offset by a reduction in accounts payable of $509,000, which reflected the timing of our payments.

We expect that our operating cash flows will fluctuate in future periods due to our operating results, shipment timetable and accounts receivable collections, inventory management, and the timing of payments among other factors.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $537,000 reflected capital expenditures primarily related to our ongoing investment in UWB technology. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $295,000 reflected capital expenditures of $579,000, primarily related to our investment in UWB technology, partially offset by a decrease in a restricted cash balance of $284,000. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $1.8 million reflected net costs of $220,000 and $424,000 associated with the acquisitions of COMO and Visual Circuits, respectively, in 2004, and capital expenditures of $1.0 million, primarily related to our investment in UWB technology.

Net cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, and consisted mainly of proceeds from the issuance of our convertible notes of $10.0 million, $3.8 million received from the exercise of common stock options and warrants, and a net increase in borrowings of $424,000 under our accounts receivable-based line of credit.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, and consisted mainly of borrowings of $3.0 million under our accounts receivable-based line of credit, net borrowings under a term loan of $2.5 million, net proceeds of $4.5 million received from private equity placement transactions in June 2005 and November 2005, proceeds of $509,000 from the sale of shares placed into escrow upon the acquisition of COMO in 2004 and subsequently sold in 2005 and the reimbursement of acquisition fees by Visual Circuits Corporation Liquidating Trust related to the acquisition of Visual Circuits of $225,000, partially offset by repayments of $516,000 related to our German subsidiary’s line of credit balance.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, reflecting $10.7 million received from private equity placement transactions, $129,000 in borrowings from a line of credit assumed with the acquisition of COMO and $192,000 received from the exercise of common stock options and warrants, partially offset by the repayment of debts that were assumed with the acquisition of COMO of $280,000.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Outlook

We have incurred losses and used net cash in operating activities in each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, and as such, have been dependent upon raising money for short- and long-term cash needs through issuance of debt, proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants, and the sale of our common stock in private placements. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we received net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million and $10.7 million, respectively, from the sale of approximately 7.4 million shares and 10.5 million shares, respectively, of our common stock in private placement transactions.

In November 2004, we obtained a revolving $4.0 million bank credit line under which we can borrow up to 90% of our eligible outstanding accounts receivable. Carl Berg, a Company director and shareholder, provided a personal guarantee to secure this credit line. In connection with this credit line, Greater Bay Bank obtained a first priority security interest on our accounts receivable through an agreement with Mr. Berg, which enabled Mr. Berg to retain his existing security interest in all of our assets while subordinating to Greater Bay Bank his security interest in our accounts receivable. The bank credit line is subject to ongoing covenants, including a covenant related to operating results. Interest is payable under this loan at prime plus 1% (9.25% as of December 31, 2006). At December 31, 2006, the outstanding balance was

32




$3.4 million and we had the ability to borrow an additional $500,000. The credit line has since been renewed and currently expires on February 23, 2008.

On June 28, 2005, we signed a term loan agreement with Greater Bay Bank under which we can borrow up to $2.5 million. The term loan has a maturity date of February 23, 2008, is interest only until maturity and is in addition to our existing $4.0 million accounts receivable based secured line of credit facility described above with this same bank. Interest is payable under this loan at prime plus 1% (9.25% as of December 31, 2006). At December 31, 2006, there was an outstanding balance under this term loan of the maximum available amount of $2.5 million.

On January 27, 2006, we raised gross proceeds of $10.0 million from the issuance of secured convertible notes to a group of private investors. Interest accrues on the principal amount of the notes at a rate of 10% per annum, payable semi-annually. The notes are convertible into shares of Focus common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. The notes are due January 1, 2011 and are secured by all of the assets of Focus. Under certain circumstances, including a change in control or our failure to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the due date of the notes may be accelerated. On June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2006, in accordance with the terms of the secured convertible notes, we issued an additional $425,000 and $521,000 of convertible notes in lieu of a cash interest payment due on June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2006, respectively. We are permitted to issue an additional note to satisfy our interest obligations under the secured convertible notes for the interest payment due June 30, 2007.

Subsequent developments

We received gross proceeds of $6.3 million from the issuance of common stock to a group of private investors in February 2007. While we believe that these funds, along with the cash flow generated by our anticipated growth in our Semiconductor and Systems businesses, should be adequate to enable us to complete our UWB engineering development and launch commercialization of UWB products. Depending upon the results and timing of our UWB initiative and the growth of our Semiconductor and Systems businesses, we may need to raise further capital in 2007 or in subsequent years. 2007 and future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including cash flow from operations, maintaining our gross margins at current levels, continued progress in research and development programs, competing technological and market developments, and our ability to market our products successfully.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest rate risk

At December 31, 2006, we did not hold any short-term investments that would be exposed to market risk from adverse movements in interest rates.

At December 31, 2006, our outstanding debt obligations, which have variable interest rates, consisted of a term loan of $2.5 million and borrowings under a line of credit of $3.4 million. The variable interest rate applicable to these debt obligations was 9.25% per annum. If short-term interest rates were to increase 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1%), the increased interest expense associated with these debt obligations would be approximately $59,000 on an annual basis.

Foreign currency risk

Due to our reliance on international and export sales, we are subject to the risks of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Because a substantial majority of our international and export revenue, as well as expenses, are typically denominated in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could cause our products to become relatively more expensive to customers in a particular country, leading to a reduction in sales or profitability in that country. Gains or losses related to foreign exchange currency transactions were not material for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. A 10% movement in the EUR/USD exchange rate would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Management of the Company, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period 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 period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us 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 us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We will be required to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting and prepare a management assessment on our internal controls in order to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that the management assessment of our internal controls be audited. We estimate the cost of meeting these requirements will be approximately $650,000. We will be required to meet these requirements by December 31, 2007.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Focus Enhancements, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Focus Enhancements, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive loss and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor have we been engaged to perform, an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Focus Enhancements, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 and Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2006 the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation as a result of adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” applying the modified prospective method.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses from operations, net capital deficiency and accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans as to these matters are also described in Note 2.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Focus Enhancements, Inc.

Campbell, CA

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows of Focus Enhancements, Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2004.  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 audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of Focus Enhancements, Inc. and its subsidiary for the year then ended December 31, 2004, 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.

Focus Enhancements, Inc.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.                                      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business of the Company. Focus Enhancements, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Focus”) was incorporated in 1992 and develops and markets proprietary video technology in two areas: semiconductor and systems. Focus markets its products globally to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), and dealers and distributors in the consumer and professional channels. Semiconductor products include several series of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (“ASICs”), which address the wireless video and data market using Ultra Wideband (“UWB”) technology and the video convergence market. The UWB ASICs are targeted for the wireless USB market while the video convergence chips are deployed into portable media players, video conferencing systems, Internet TV, media center and interactive TV applications. Focus’ systems products are designed to provide solutions for the professional video production market particularly for the video acquisition, media asset management and digital signage markets. Focus markets its systems products primarily through the professional channel. Focus production products include video scan converters, video mixers, standard and high definition digital video disk recorders, MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) recorders and file format conversion tools. Focus media asset management systems products include network-based video servers, long-duration program monitors and capture/playout components. Focus digital signage and retail media solutions products include standard and high definition MPEG players, servers.

Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Focus and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Business Combinations. The acquisitions of Videonics, Inc., (“Videonics”) COMO Computer and Motion GmbH (“COMO”) and Visual Circuits Corporation (“Visual Circuits”) were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and the consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of these companies from the date of acquisition. The net assets of these companies 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 consolidated financial statements are related primarily to accounts receivable allowances, warranty accruals, inventory valuation allowances, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, the value of equity instruments issued for services and the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets related to acquisitions.

Financial Instruments. The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate the respective fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Debt and capital lease obligations approximate fair value as these instruments bear interest at terms that would be available through similar transactions with other third parties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Focus 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 OEMs, dealers and distributors. Focus recognizes revenues, net of discounts, when all the following conditions have been met: shipment of product (as title transfers upon shipment); a purchase order has been received; the sales price is fixed or determinable; collection of the resulting receivable is probable; and all significant obligations have been met. At the time a sale is recorded, provisions are made to estimate customer returns, reflected as a reduction of revenue and trade receivables, and warranty repair/replacement costs, reflected as an increase to cost of revenue. Although Focus may choose to take back product at its discretion, only a limited number of consumer channel distributors have return rights. In connection with these agreements, distributors may return or exchange slow moving inventory held by that distributor. However, these return rights are limited to 25% of the customer’s prior quarter purchases.

Focus sells software that is embedded into some of its products. The revenue from the embedded software is recognized upon shipment to the customer as the embedded software is deemed to be incidental to the product, as per the guidance in Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. Generally, 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

F-10




the selling price of the software, is not offered separately, and the cost of the support is insignificant. For those products for which post-delivery customer support is significant, and the embedded software is more than incidental, revenue from the post-delivery customer support is recognized over the service period of generally one year, with the fair value of the customer support element determined based on renewal rates.

Focus defers revenue recognition of sales to certain distributors 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 that 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. Focus’ inventory at such distributors at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $2,000 and $12,000, respectively.

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. Revisions in profit estimates are charged to income in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Provisions for the entire amount of estimated losses, or uncompleted contracts are made in the periods such losses are determined. 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 revenues were $264,000 and $336,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Contract costs for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $319,000 and $287,000, respectively, and were recorded in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Focus did not record contract revenues nor did it incur costs associated with contract revenues in 2004.

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, Focus establishes reserves against gross trade receivables for estimated amounts to be reimbursed to qualifying customers. In addition, Focus records reserves at the time of shipment for rebates.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Focus maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Focus provides an allowance for specific customer accounts where collection is doubtful and also provides an allowance for other accounts based on historical collection and write-off experience. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Concentration of Credit Risk.  Financial instruments that potentially subject Focus to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.

Focus’ 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. Focus 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, in certain situations Focus will require confirmed letters of credit or cash in advance of shipping to its customers.

As of December 31, 2006, one customer represented approximately 19% of Focus’ accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2005, two customers each represented approximately 12% of Focus’ accounts receivable. Focus provides credit to customers in the normal course of business with terms generally ranging between 30 to 60 days. Focus does not usually require collateral for trade receivables, but attempts to limit credit risk through its customer credit evaluation process.

Focus maintains its bank accounts with high quality financial institutions to minimize credit risk, however, Focus’ balances may periodically exceed federal deposit insurance limits.

F-11




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. Focus periodically reviews its inventories for potential slow moving or obsolete items and records write-downs 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. Focus 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 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 the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 or 2004. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Capitalized Software. Certain software development costs are capitalized when incurred under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. 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 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 (1) the ratio of the current gross revenues for a product to the total current and anticipated future gross revenues for the product, or (2) 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 2006, 2005 or 2004.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets.  Focus reviews 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. The 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 identifiable intangibles using primarily the estimated discounted future cash flows method. Effective January 1, 2002, Focus adopted 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, Focus adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles (“SFAS No. 142”). Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life be reviewed for impairment upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 and at least annually thereafter. Focus completed its annual impairment review during the fourth quarter of 2006. Management has determined that goodwill was not impaired at the annual review date. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill impairment may exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value.

Intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized using the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to four years.

Advertising and Sales Promotion Costs. 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 $471,000, $483,000 and $390,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, 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 and consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for research and development personnel, outside professional services, prototype materials, supplies, depreciation for related equipment, allocated facilities costs and expenses related to stock-based compensation.

Product Warranty Costs. Focus’ warranty period for its products is generally one to two years. Focus accrues for warranty costs based on estimated warranty return rates and costs to repair.

F-12




Income Taxes. Focus 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. Focus is required to adjust its deferred tax assets and 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.

Stock Compensation Plans. Prior to January 1, 2006, Focus accounted for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method supplemented by pro forma disclosures in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 and SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by SFAS No.148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosures”. Employee stock options granted by Focus with an exercise price equal to the grant date fair value of the Company’s stock had no intrinsic value and therefore no expense was recorded for these options under APB Opinion No. 25. Grants of restricted stock awards were measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock with such value recognized as an expense over the corresponding vesting period of the award.

On January 1, 2006, Focus adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R eliminates the alternative of applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 to stock compensation awards issued to employees.  SFAS 123R requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the requisite service period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. Focus adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition approach and therefore prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. Under SFAS 123R, stock-based awards granted prior to its adoption will be expensed over the remaining portion of their requisite service period. These awards will be expensed under the accelerated amortization method using the same fair value measurements that were used in calculating pro forma stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123. For stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, Focus will amortize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which ranges from three to five years. SFAS 123R requires that the deferred stock-based compensation on the balance sheet on the date of adoption be netted against additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2005, there was a balance of $214,000 of deferred stock-based compensation, which was netted against additional paid-in capital on January 1, 2006.

Earnings Per Share. Focus calculates earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share represents net loss available to common stockholders 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 (loss) that would result from the assumed conversion. Potential common shares that may be issued by Focus relate to preferred stock 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. 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 net losses reported in the periods presented.

Comprehensive Loss. Focus’ comprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments, which are reflected as a component of stockholders’ equity. The foreign currency translation adjustments result from the translation of COMO’s financial statements, which are denominated in Euros. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net loss and are not material for any period presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”, or (“SFAS No. 155”). SFAS No. 155 will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2007. SFAS No. 155 permits interests in hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation, to be accounted for as a single financial instrument at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. This election is permitted on an instrument-by-instrument basis for all hybrid financial instruments held, obtained, or issued as of the adoption date. Focus is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 155 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

F-13




In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting For Uncertain Tax Positions — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, or (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Focus is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, or (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, with any transition adjustment recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007; therefore, Focus anticipates adopting this standard as of January 1, 2008. Focus is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” or (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006 and addresses how financial statement errors should be considered from a materiality perspective and corrected. The literature provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. Historically, there have been two approaches commonly used to quantify such errors: (i) the “rollover” approach, which quantifies the error as the amount by which the current year income statement is misstated, and (ii) the “iron curtain” approach, which quantifies the error as the cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet is misstated. The SEC Staff believes that companies should quantify errors using both approaches and evaluate whether either of these approaches results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. Focus adopted SAB No. 108 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation),” or (“EITF 06-3”), to clarify diversity in practice on the presentation of different types of taxes in the financial statements. The Task Force concluded that, for taxes within the scope of the issue, a company may adopt a policy of presenting taxes either gross within revenue or net. That is, it may include charges to customers for taxes within revenues and the charge for the taxes from the taxing authority within cost of sales, or, alternatively, it may net the charge to the customer and the charge from the taxing authority. If taxes subject to this Issue are significant, a company is required to disclose its accounting policy for presenting taxes and the amounts of such taxes that are recognized on a gross basis. The guidance in this consensus is effective for the first interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006. Focus is currently evaluating the impact of EITF 06-3 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, or (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. This election is irrevocable. SFAS No. 159 will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2008. Focus is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

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, 2006, 2005 and 2004, Focus incurred net losses of $15.9 million, $15.4 million and $11.0 million, respectively, and used net cash in operating activities of $8.3 million, $12.5 million and $9.4 million, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt at Focus’ ability 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 Focus be unable to continue as a going concern. Focus’ 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.

Focus has historically met cash needs from the proceeds of debt, the sale of common stock in private placements and the exercise of employee 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.

Focus received gross proceeds of $6.3 million from the issuance of common stock to a group of private investors in February 2007. Focus believes that these funds, along with the cash flow generated by its anticipated growth in its Semiconductor and Systems businesses, should be adequate to enable it to complete its UWB engineering development and launch commercialization of UWB products. Depending upon the results and timing of its UWB initiative and the growth of its Semiconductor and Systems businesses, Focus may need to raise further capital in 2007 or in subsequent years. Focus’ 2007 and future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including cash flow from operations, maintaining its gross margins at current levels, continued progress in research and development programs, competing technological and market developments, and its ability to market its products successfully.

3.                                      Business Combinations

Visual Circuits Corporation

On May 28, 2004, Focus acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Visual Circuits pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Reorganization Agreement”). The transaction was accounted for as a purchase business combination at a total cost of approximately $8.9 million. Founded in 1991, Visual Circuits is a manufacturer and developer of integrated hardware, software and network products that manage, schedule, distribute, store and present digital video in a wide range of commercial media applications.

Under the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, Visual Circuits, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, received 3,805,453 shares of voting common stock of Focus, including approximately 380,000 shares placed in escrow for the recovery by Focus of any losses resulting from the breach of covenants by Visual Circuits. In connection with this transaction, Focus paid vFinance Investments, Inc. (a related party) a success fee of $168,000 and 80,000 shares of Focus’ common stock.

Visual Circuits’ results of operations are included in Focus’ financial statements from the date of acquisition, and the assets and liabilities were recorded based on their fair values as of the date of acquisition. There were no employee stock options or warrants assumed as a result of the acquisition.

The purchase price of approximately $8.9 million consisted of the fair value of the shares of Focus common stock issued to Visual Circuits, excluding a portion of the escrow shares associated with amounts owed by Visual Circuits to Focus (see note 10, “Stockholders’ Equity”), 80,000 shares distributed to vFinance Investments, Inc., and acquisition costs of approximately $440,000. The acquisition costs consisted of financial advisory, legal and accounting fees and other direct transaction costs.

The tangible net assets acquired represent the historical net assets of Visual Circuits’ business as of May 28, 2004.  As required under purchase accounting, the assets and liabilities of Visual Circuits have been adjusted to fair value.

Focus performed an allocation of the total purchase price of Visual Circuits to its individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Developed technology and in-process research and development (“IPRD”) were identified and valued through interviews, analysis of data provided by the Visual Circuits business concerning development projects, their stage of development, the time and resources needed to complete them, if applicable, their expected income generating ability and associated risks.  The income approach, which includes an analysis of the cash flows, and risks associated with achieving such cash flows, was the primary technique utilized in valuing the developed technology and IPRD.

Where development projects had reached technological feasibility, they were classified as developed technology and the value assigned to developed technology was capitalized.  The developed technology is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of three years.

Where the development projects had not reached technological feasibility and had no future alternative uses, they were classified as IPRD. Of the total purchase price, $300,000 was allocated to IPRD, which was expensed upon the consummation of the Reorganization Agreement in the second quarter of 2004. The value was determined by estimating the expected cash flows from the projects once commercially viable, discounting the net cash flows back to their present value and then applying a percentage of completion to the calculated value. If the projects are not successfully developed, the sales and profitability of Focus may be adversely affected in future periods. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net identifiable assets.

COMO Computer & Motion GmbH

On February 27, 2004, Focus completed the acquisition of COMO, located in Kiel, Germany, pursuant to which COMO became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Focus. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination at a total cost of approximately $1.0 million. Under the terms of the agreement, Focus acquired COMO through the issuance of 185,066 shares of its common stock and approximately $359,000 in cash to COMO’s shareholders. Focus also agreed to issue up to an additional 46,266 shares of its common stock to COMO’s shareholders, in the event certain conditions are met at the end of 2005 and 2004. These relevant conditions were met at the end of 2005 and 2004, and accordingly, 23,134 and 23,132 shares were issued to COMO’s former shareholders in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Additionally, Focus issued 610,096 common shares, held in escrow, to COMO’s two former shareholders who became employees of Focus. In the year ended December 31, 2005 these 610,096 common shares were sold with the net proceeds from the sale of such shares of $509,000 remitted to Focus and recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital – see note 10, “Stockholders Equity”. In connection with this transaction, Focus paid vFinance Investments, Inc. (a related party) a success fee of $100,000 and 30,000 shares of Focus’ common stock.

Founded in 1990, COMO develops, manufactures and distributes digital video solutions. COMO’s results of operations are included in Focus’ consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and the assets and liabilities were recorded based on their fair values as of the date of acquisition. There were no employee stock options or warrants assumed as a result of the acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the acquisition was not material to Focus’ financial position or results of operations.

The purchase price of approximately $1.0 million, consisting of 185,066 shares of Focus common stock issued to the COMO shareholders, the fair value of the 46,266 earn-out shares included in accrued liabilities, 30,000 shares of Focus common stock issued to vFinance, cash paid to the COMO shareholders of $359,000, and acquisition costs of approximately $220,000, has been allocated based on the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed. The earn-out shares were included in the purchase price because Focus management believed it was probable that the conditions under which such shares would become payable would be met. The value of the 610,096 common shares issued to COMO’s two shareholders and held in escrow are not included in the purchase price (see note 10, “Stockholders’ Equity”). A summary of the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

Notes Payable

Notes payable to a bank were assumed by Focus as a result of the acquisition of COMO in February 2004 — see note 3, “Business Combinations”. The notes payable were with a local German bank.

The notes payable to a bank, originally consisting of two notes of $191,000 and $38,000 were denominated in Euros and were originally scheduled to be repaid through December 2011 and December 2005, respectively, at an average interest rate of 6% per annum. However, the bank exercised its right to call these notes due and these notes were repaid in January of 2006.

Accounts Receivable-Based Line of Credit

In November 2004, Focus obtained a $4.0 million line of credit from Greater Bay Bank under which it can borrow up to 90% of its eligible outstanding accounts receivable. This credit line is collateralized by a personal guarantee from Carl Berg, a Company director and shareholder. In connection with this credit line, the bank has obtained a first priority security interest in Focus’ accounts receivable through an agreement with Mr. Berg, which enables Mr. Berg to retain his existing security interest in all of Focus’ assets while subordinating his interest in Focus’ accounts receivable. The credit line had a maturity date of February 23, 2007. As discussed in note 17 “Subsequent Events”, as a result of extensions granted in February and March 2007, the credit line maturity date was extended to February 23, 2008.

The credit line is subject to ongoing covenants including a covenant based on operating results. Focus was in compliance with this covenant at December 31, 2006. Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at a rate of prime plus 1%, which was 9.25% at December 31, 2006. In December 2004, in connection with the establishment of this line of credit, Focus issued warrants to the bank to purchase 77,186 shares of Focus’ common stock at an exercise price of $1.17 per share. These warrants were valued at $76,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and were amortized to general and administrative expenses over the initial one-year term of the credit line. In December 2005, an additional 40,000 warrants were issued to the bank at an exercise price of $1.00 per share upon the granting of an extension to the maturity date of the credit line. These warrants were valued at $26,000 and were amortized to general and administrative expenses over the initial one-year extended term. At December 31, 2006, the outstanding balance was $3.4 million and Focus had the ability to borrow an additional $500,000.

F-21




Term Loan

On June 28, 2005, Focus signed a term loan agreement with Greater Bay Bank under which Focus can borrow up to $2.5 million. The term loan had a maturity date of February 23, 2007. As discussed in note 17 “Subsequent Events”, as a result of extensions granted in February and March 2007, the term loan maturity date was extended to February 23, 2008. Mr. Berg has personally guaranteed the loan, which is interest only until maturity and is in addition to Focus’ existing $4.0 million accounts receivable based secured line of credit that Focus has with this bank. Interest is payable under this term loan at prime plus 1%, which was 9.25% at December 31, 2006. In connection with Mr. Berg’s personal guarantee, Focus issued Mr. Berg a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.81 per share. Mr. Berg exercised such warrant in 2006. Focus recorded a charge of $42,000 to general and administrative expenses at the time of issuance based on the fair value of this warrant, determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. At December 31, 2006, there was an outstanding balance of $2.5 million under this term loan.

Convertible Notes and Derivative Liability

On January 27, 2006, Focus issued $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10% secured convertible notes due January 1, 2011 to certain purchasers. The following are the key features of the notes:

·                  Interest accrues on the principal amount of the notes at a rate of 10% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 30 of each year.

·                  Interest due on the first three semi-annual payments may, at the issuers option, be paid in the form of a note with the same terms and conditions of the original notes, including conversion rights.

·                  The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of Focus common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations and similar corporate actions.

·                  The notes are secured by all of the assets of Focus in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions contained in a security agreement entered into concurrent with the issuance of the notes.

·                  The notes are redeemable, at the option of Focus, at any time at a redemption price equal to 102% times the face rate of the notes, plus any accrued interest.

·                  Upon a fundamental change, which includes a change in control of Focus or failure of Focus’ common stock to be listed for quotation on the Nasdaq Stock Market or another established automated over-the-counter trading marking in the United States, each holder of the notes may require Focus to repurchase all of its debt at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers dated January 24, 2006 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), Focus agreed to file a resale registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable to the investors upon the conversion of the notes. The due date may accelerate in the event Focus commences any case relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or related events of default.

On May 10, 2006, the registration statement filed by Focus to register the shares underlying the notes was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by the Registration Rights Agreement. Focus must maintain an effective registration statement until the earlier to occur of (i) the date after which all the shares registered there under have been sold or (ii) the date all shares underlying the notes may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k). Subject to certain conditions, the holders of the convertible notes may, at their election, exchange the notes for interests in an entity or entities to which Focus’ semiconductor business is spun off, if such an event occurs prior to July 24, 2007, at a conversion rate equal to 1% of voting interests in such other entity for every $400,000 of note principal, up to a collective maximum of 25% of the voting power of such other entity. As of December 31, 2006, no date had been set for the potential spin-off nor had the exact assets and liabilities to be included in such a spin-off been determined.

Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”), Focus evaluated the registration rights agreement and concluded that it triggers the “settlement in cash” assumption that underlies the separate evaluation of the derivative elements of the contract. There is no alternative settlement option in the registration rights agreement, even though the agreement is quiet as to penalties. The agreement represents a contingent liability that must be considered if registration

F-22




is not successfully maintained. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, (“SFAS 133”), Focus determined that the conversion feature of the notes met the criteria of an embedded derivative and therefore the conversion feature of the debt needed to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative.

The conversion feature fails to qualify for equity classification under EITF 00-19, and must be accounted for as a derivative liability. Focus accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with SFAS 133. Derivative financial instruments are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value. When available, quoted market prices are used in determining fair value. However, if quoted market prices are not available, Focus estimates fair value using either quoted market prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics or other valuation techniques.

Using a binomial options valuation model, the fair value of the conversion option within the convertible notes was initially computed at $4.0 million. The model used several assumptions to determine the estimated fair value of the derivative liability including: historical stock price volatility (utilizing a five-year period), risk-free interest rate (4.50%), remaining time to maturity and the closing price of Focus’ common stock.  The value of this embedded derivative instrument was bifurcated from the debt host contract and recorded as a derivative liability, which resulted in a discount to the initial carrying amount of the convertible notes. The $4.0 million discount was immediately expensed in the consolidated statements of operations as value of derivative security as the notes may be converted to common stock at any time after issuance.

At March 31, 2006, Focus revalued the derivative liability based on the closing price of Focus’ common stock of $0.66, the remaining term coinciding with the contract and utilizing a volatility of 87%. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, due in part to a decrease in the market value of Focus’ common stock, Focus recorded a $400,000 gain for the change in the fair value of the derivative liability.

Effective June 28, 2006, Focus amended certain agreements associated with the convertible notes, eliminating the requirements that Focus: (i) register the common stock underlying the convertible notes issuable pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and (ii) once such underlying stock is registered, keep such registration continuously effective. Such amendments effectively removed the derivative liability component of the convertible notes. However, in accordance with SFAS 133, Focus was required to revalue the derivative liability based on the closing price of Focus’ common stock on June 28, 2006 ($0.85), utilizing the remaining original contract term and a volatility of 83%. In accordance with such revaluation, Focus recorded a $1.8 million expense for the change in the fair value of the derivative liability between March 31, 2006 and June 28, 2006. With the elimination of the derivative component, Focus reclassified the total derivative liability of approximately $5.4 million to additional paid-in capital.

On June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2006, Focus issued additional notes in the amounts of $425,000 and $521,250, in lieu of the cash interest payments due on June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2006, respectively. These notes retain the same terms and conditions as the $10.0 million convertible notes issued on January 27, 2006. The difference between the $1.00 conversion price and the fair market value of Focus’ common stock at December 30, 2006 ($1.56) resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $292,000 which has been recorded as a charge to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. At June 30, 2006, the fair market value of Focus’ common stock was less than the conversion price so there was no beneficial conversion feature related to the June 30, 2006 note issuance.

9.                                      Commitments and Contingencies

Research and Development Agreements

In June 2004, Focus entered into a development and license agreement under which Focus agreed to pay $664,000 to a third party for engineering services and the rights to certain intellectual property that will be used in the research and development of UWB technology. Such amount was expensed to research and development ratably over the development period from June 2004 to January 2005 based on the level of effort incurred by the third party. Payments were made upon the achievement of specific development milestones by the third party, which were completed in January 2005.

F-23




In October 2004, Focus entered into a design services contract under which Focus agreed to pay $2.9 million to a third party for the design and development of high performance UWB integrated circuits. The contract amount was subsequently increased to $3.3 million. Payments are made upon the completion of specific milestones by the third party, which are expected to be completed by April 2007. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, $467,000, $1.8 million and $648,000, respectively, was charged to research and development expense based on the level of effort incurred by the third party. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, $141,000 and $622,000, respectively, was included within accrued liabilities.

In July 2005, Focus entered into a development agreement with a customer under which the customer agreed to pay Focus for the joint development by Focus and the customer of a custom product. The customer agreed to pay Focus $600,000 in four installments of $150,000 at the completion of specific milestones. For the year ended December 31, 2006, $264,000 was recognized as revenue based on the level of effort incurred by Focus and $319,000 of development expense was recorded in cost of revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2005, $336,000 was recognized as revenue and $287,000 of development expense was recorded in cost of revenue.  An amount of $36,000 was recorded in accounts receivable at December 31, 2005, representing the difference between the amount received from the customer of $300,000 and the revenue recognized. The project was completed in April 2006 and all remaining amounts due under the development agreement were billed and collected in 2006.

Leases

Focus leases office facilities and certain equipment under operating and capital leases, with interest rates ranging from 8.5% to 39.75% per annum. Under certain of the lease agreements, Focus is obligated to pay for utilities, taxes, insurance and maintenance. Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $838,000, $831,000 and $670,000 respectively.

Inventory Purchase Commitments

Under contract manufacturing arrangements, contract manufacturers procure inventory to manufacture products based upon a forecast of customer demand provided by Focus. Focus is responsible for the financial impact on the contract manufacturer of any reduction or product mix shift in the forecast relative to materials that the contract manufacturer had already purchased, and is unable to return, under a prior forecast. Such a variance in forecasted demand could require a cash payment for finished goods in excess of current customer demand or for costs of excess or obsolete inventory.

F-24




At December 31, 2006, Focus had issued non-cancelable purchase orders for approximately $2.3 million to purchase finished goods from its contract manufacturers, and had not incurred any significant liability for finished goods in excess of current customer demand or for the costs of excess or obsolete inventory.

Employment Agreements

Focus has employment agreements with certain corporate officers. The agreements are generally one year in length and provide for minimum salary levels. These agreements include severance payments of approximately half to one times each officer’s annual compensation.

Indemnification agreements

Focus 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 Focus’ products infringe a patent, copyright or trademark, or misappropriate 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. Such indemnification provisions are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, and are generally limited to the amount paid by the customer. Focus has not incurred significant expenses related to these indemnification agreements and no material claims for such indemnifications are outstanding as of December 31, 2006. As a result, Focus believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements, if any, to be minimal, and therefore no liability has been recorded with respect to such indemnifications as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.

General

From time-to-time, Focus 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 Focus’ financial position or results of operation.

10.                               Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Focus adopted a Certificate of Designation whereby a total of 3,000 shares of Series B preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share are authorized for issuance. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, 2,744 shares of Series B preferred stock were outstanding. Each share has a liquidation preference in the amount of $1,190.48 plus all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends. Cash dividends on the stock are non-cumulative and are paid at the option of the Board of Directors. If paid, the rate shall be seven percent per annum. The Board does not presently intend to pay dividends on the stock. At the option of the holder, each share is convertible into 1,000 shares of Focus common stock.

The Board of Focus adopted a Certificate of Designation whereby a total of 500 shares of Series C preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share are authorized for issuance. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, 417 shares of Series C preferred stock were outstanding. Each share has a liquidation preference in the amount of $1,560.00 plus all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends. Cash dividends on the stock are non-cumulative and are paid at the option of the Board of Directors. If paid, the rate shall be seven percent per annum. The Board does not presently intend to pay dividends on the stock. At the option of the holder, each share is convertible into 1,000 shares of Focus common stock.

At December 31, 2003, Focus owed Carl Berg approximately $4.4 million in principal and accrued interest on various notes. On March 19, 2004, Mr. Berg converted his approximately $3.9 million of debt and $587,000 of accrued interest into common and preferred stock. This conversion resulted in the issuance of 2,173,193 shares of Focus’ common stock and 840 shares of Series B preferred stock and 417 shares of Series C preferred stock, which are convertible into an additional 840,000 and 417,000 shares of Focus’ common stock, respectively.

F-25




Common Stock

For the year ended December 31, 2006, Focus issued at various times, an additional 4,259,068 shares of common stock through exercises of options and warrants, receiving cash of approximately $3.8 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, Focus granted 570,176 shares of restricted stock to employees and directors of the Company. The value of these grants of $394,000 will be amortized as compensation expense over the four year vesting period of the grants. For the year ended December 31, 2006, Focus cancelled 23,619 shares of restricted stock, as a result of an employee terminating his employment prior to vesting.

On April 7, 2006, Focus issued a warrant to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock as compensation to an unrelated party for marketing services. The warrant is immediately exercisable for a period of three years at an exercise price of $0.79 per share. The fair value of the warrant, based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was deemed insignificant.

On November 17, 2006, Focus’ stockholders approved an increase to the authorized common shares from 100,000,000 to 150,000,000. This increase was recommended and approved by Focus’ Board to ensure that sufficient shares were available for issuance under Focus’ stock incentive plans and for issuances associated with potential acquisitions, private placements and services provided by non-employees.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, Focus issued at various times, an additional 268,000 shares of common stock through exercises of options, receiving cash of approximately $152,000.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, Focus granted 245,000 shares of restricted stock to employees and directors of the Company. The value of these grants of $272,000 will be amortized as compensation expense over the four year vesting period of the grants.

On March 22, 2005, Focus issued warrants to purchase 35,000 shares of common stock as compensation to unrelated parties for investor relation services. The warrants are immediately exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.92 per share, were valued at $23,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and were expensed to general and administrative expenses.

On June 21, 2005, Focus completed the sale of 2,414,282 shares of its common stock in a private placement to 11 independent third party investors, receiving proceeds of approximately $1.5 million, net of offering costs of approximately $126,000. The shares were issued at $0.70 per share, an approximate 5% discount to the closing price of Focus’ common stock on June 20, 2005. Additionally, Focus issued warrants to the investors and placement agents to purchase an aggregate of 795,713 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share. The warrants are exercisable immediately and expire four years from the date of grant. No compensation expense was recorded given that the warrants were issued in connection with the issuance of common stock.

In connection with Mr. Berg’s extension of his personal guarantee that collateralizes Focus’ accounts receivable-based line of credit - see note 8, “Borrowings – Accounts Receivable-Based Line of Credit” - Focus issued to Mr. Berg a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of Focus common stock at an exercise price of $0.81 per share. Mr. Berg exercised such warrant in 2006. The warrant was valued at $42,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and was charged to general and administrative expense at the time of issuance.

On November 7, 2005, Focus completed the sale of 5,018,247 shares of its common stock to a group of accredited investors at a purchase price per share of $0.66 receiving proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, net of offering costs of $332,000. The shares were issued at an approximate 16% discount to the closing price of Focus’ common stock on November 4, 2005. In addition, warrants were issued to the investors and placement agents to purchase an aggregate of 1,756,384 million additional shares of Focus common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share. The warrants were immediately exercisable and expire five years from the date of grant. No compensation expense was recorded given that the warrants were issued in connection with the issuance of common stock.

On November 15, 2005, Focus’ Board of Directors authorized the extension of the expiration dates of 1,481,512 employee and director stock options scheduled to expire between November 16, 2005 and June 30, 2006. This resulted

F-26




in a charge to general and administrative expense of $104,000, representing the difference between the closing price of Focus’ common stock on the day of extension and the exercise price of the stock options.

On December 6, 2005, Focus issued a warrant to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock as compensation to unrelated parties for investor relation services. This warrant is immediately exercisable for a period of four years at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, was valued at $15,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and was expensed to general and administrative expenses.

On December 6, 2005, Focus issued a warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock as compensation to Greater Bay Bank for the extension of Focus’ line of credit facility from November 2005 to December 24, 2006. This warrant is immediately exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and was valued at $26,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The value of the warrant was amortized to general and administrative expense over the life of the line of credit extension. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, $24,000 and $2,000, respectively, were amortized to general and administrative expense.

The warrant was classified as a liability and was measured at fair value for each reporting period, with changes in fair value reported in the statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2006, $13,000 was recorded to other expense for the change in fair value. Classification of this warrant as a liability is based on the fact that it requires net-cash settlement on the occurrence of certain events outside the control of Focus. In May 2006, the warrant was amended to eliminate the net-cash settlement clause. Pursuant to EITF 00-19, with the elimination of the net-cash settlement clause, the fair value of the warrant on the date of the amendment was reclassified to equity from liability, and losses recorded to account for the warrant at fair value during the period that the warrant was classified as a liability were not reversed.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, Focus issued at various times, 199,806 shares of common stock through exercises of options and warrants, receiving cash of approximately $192,000.

The acquisition of COMO on February 27, 2004 resulted in the issuance of 215,066 shares of Focus’ common stock, consisting of 185,066 shares issued to COMO’s shareholders, and 30,000 shares issued to vFinance Investments, Inc., (a related party) for investment banking services related to the acquisition. Additionally, Focus issued 610,096 common shares, held in escrow, (“the Escrow shares”) to COMO’s two former shareholders (“the Sellers”) who became employees of Focus. The Escrow shares were issued in exchange for the Sellers non-interest bearing, non-recourse, demand notes payable to Focus and COMO in the aggregate amount of $1.1 million. The two former shareholders of COMO were able to sell the Escrow shares at no less than the then current fair market value, with all proceeds to be remitted to Focus and COMO in exchange for cancellation of the outstanding note obligations, regardless of whether such proceeds are greater than or less than the balance of the notes. For accounting purposes, the Escrow shares were reported in the consolidated financial statements as outstanding, subscribed shares. In the year ended December 31, 2005 the 610,096 common shares were sold for net proceeds of $509,000. The proceeds from the sale of such shares were remitted to Focus by the Sellers and recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital. The note receivable from the Sellers was not recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as it was cancelled upon the transfer from Focus to COMO of the Escrow share proceeds. Focus also agreed to issue up to an additional 46,266 shares of its common stock to COMO’s shareholders, in the event certain conditions are met at the end of 2004 and 2005. These relevant conditions were met at the end of 2005 and 2004, and accordingly, 23,134 and 23,132 shares were issued to COMO’s former shareholders in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

On April 6, 2004, Focus completed the sale of 3,862,070 shares of its common stock to a group of third party investors in a private placement transaction, receiving proceeds of approximately $5.1 million, net of offering costs of approximately $451,000. The shares were issued at $1.45 per share, an approximate 11% discount to the closing price of Focus’ common stock on April 5, 2004. In connection with the private placement, Focus issued warrants to the investors and to a placement agent to purchase a total of 940,414 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. No compensation expense was recorded given that the warrants were issued in connection with the issuance of common stock.

On May 28, 2004, Focus acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Visual Circuits pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. Under the terms of the agreement, Visual Circuits, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, received 3,805,453 shares of voting common stock of Focus, including approximately 380,000 shares placed

F-27




in escrow for the recovery by Focus of any losses resulting from the breach of covenants by Visual Circuits. In connection with this transaction, Focus paid vFinance Investments, Inc., (a related party) a success fee of $168,000 and 80,000 shares of Focus’ common stock.  The agreement also required VCC Liquidating Corporation (“VCC”), formerly Visual Circuits, to reimburse Focus for all transaction costs paid by Visual Circuits prior to the acquisition. Such transaction costs, originally estimated to be $400,000 and later reduced to approximately $337,000 upon final determination of the transaction costs, were to have been reimbursed to Focus on or before October 8, 2004. Focus was entitled to recover the amount owed, in the event such amount was not reimbursed to Focus, by the return to Focus of Focus common stock held in escrow, with such number of shares to be determined by dividing the amount owed by an agreed-upon exchange rate of $2.33 per share. VCC subsequently sought to reduce this obligation, citing certain potential offsetting claims against Focus. Consequently, on November 2, 2004, the parties entered into a settlement agreement, whereby the obligation to Focus was initially reduced to approximately $225,000, to be repaid on or before February 15, 2005. The receivable from VCC was not recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004, as the recourse available to Focus in the event of default was limited to the shares held in escrow. On February 15, 2005, Focus collected the amount owed of $225,000 and recorded the proceeds as an increase in capital at that date.

On June 1, 2004, Focus issued warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock as compensation to an unrelated party for investor relation services. The warrants are exercisable for a period of two years at exercise prices ranging from $1.35 to $1.80 per share. Focus recorded a charge to general and administrative expenses of approximately $32,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 based on the fair value of these warrants.

On November 17, 2004, Focus completed the sale of 6,666,667 shares of its common stock to a group of third party investors in a private placement transaction, receiving proceeds of approximately $5.6 million, net of offering costs of approximately $408,000. In connection with the private placement, Focus issued the purchasers warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,666,668 shares of Focus’ common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per shares. Furthermore, in connection with the private placement Focus issued warrants to purchase 288,000 shares of common stock at $1.25 per share to the two placement agents. No compensation expense was recorded given that the warrants were issued in connection with the issuance of common stock.

Focus issued a warrant to a bank to purchase 77,186 shares of Focus’ common stock at $1.17 per share in connection with a credit line Focus entered into in November 2004. This warrant is immediately exercisable for a period of seven years and was valued at $76,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Focus recorded a charge to general and administrative expenses of approximately $66,000 and $10,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

Total expense recognized relating to warrants issued in connection with compensation for financial advisory, investor relations and other services in 2006, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $37,000, $149,000 and $42,000, respectively.

Stock Option Plans

1992 Stock Option Plan

Focus’ 1992 Stock Option Plan (the “1992 Plan”) provides for the granting of incentive and non-qualified options to purchase up to approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock. Incentive stock options may be granted to employees of Focus and non-qualified options may be granted to employees, directors or consultants. Incentive stock options may not be granted at a price less than 100% (110% in certain cases) of the fair-market value of common stock at date of grant. Non-qualified options may not be granted at a price less than 85% of fair-market value of common stock at date of grant. As of December 31, 2006, all options granted under the 1992 Plan were issued at market value at the date of grant. Additionally, no further options were available for grant under the 1992 Plan. Options generally vest annually over a three-year period and are exercisable over a five-year period from date of grant. The term of each option under the 1992 Plan is for a period not exceeding ten years from date of grant. As of December 31, 2006, options under the 1992 Plan to purchase 80,512 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding with an exercise price of $1.28 per share.

F-29




1997 Director Stock Option Plan

In 1997, the Board of Directors adopted the 1997 Director Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Director Plan”), which authorized the grant of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 1.0 million shares of common stock. The exercise price per share of options granted under the 1997 Director Plan was equal to the market value of the common stock of Focus on the date of grant. Options granted under the 1997 Director Plan are exercisable over a ten-year period with vesting determined at varying amounts over a three-year period. As of December 31, 2006, options under the 1997 Director Plan to purchase 174,574 shares of Focus’ common stock were outstanding with an exercise price between $1.15 and $1.22 per share.

1998 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan

In 1998 Focus adopted the 1998 Non-qualified Stock Option Plan (the “1998 NQSO Plan”), which authorized the grant of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 1.3 million shares of common stock. The exercise price per share of options granted under the 1998 NQSO Plan was equal to the market value of the common stock of Focus on the date of grant. Options granted under the 1998 NQSO Plan are exercisable over a five-year period with vesting determined at varying amounts over a three-year period. As of December 31, 2006, options under the 1998 NQSO Plan to purchase 284,436 shares of Focus’ common stock were outstanding with an exercise price between $0.68 and $1.60 per share.

2000 Non-Qualified Option Plan

On April 27, 2000, the Board of Directors of Focus adopted the 2000 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) and on December 28, 2000 the Company’s stockholders approved the 2000 Plan. On September 28, 2005, the maximum number of options available under the 2000 Plan was increased from 5,000,000 to 5,500,000 and the 2000 Plan was modified to allow the issuance of restricted stock. On November 14, 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved these amendments to the 2000 Plan. Options and restricted stock under the 2000 Plan may be granted to employees or directors of the Company. The exercise price per share of options granted under the 2000 Plan is equal to the market value of the common stock of the Company on the date of grant. The 2000 Plan requires that options granted will expire ten years from the date of grant. Each option or restricted stock granted under the 2000 Plan first becomes exercisable upon time periods set by the Compensation Committee of the Focus Board of Directors. Options and restricted stock issued from the 2000 Plan generally vest over a period of four years.

On January 16, 2001 in connection with the acquisition of Videonics, options outstanding under the Videonics 1987 Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Amended Stock Option Plan were exchanged for Focus 2000 Plan options to purchase common stock. Focus issued 0.87 shares of Focus options for each issued and outstanding share of Videonics options on the closing date. Based on the exchange ratio, a total of 1,117,597 shares were issued. Such options retained their original vesting periods of three to four years and are canceled 90 days after termination of employment. As of December 31, 2006, options under the 2000 Plan, including those converted in connection with the Videonics merger, to purchase 1,082,407 shares of Focus’ common stock were outstanding with an exercise price between $0.66 and $5.75 per share.

2002 Non-Qualified Option Plan

On October 30, 2002, the Board of Directors of Focus adopted the 2002 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”). Focus’ stockholders approved the 2002 Plan on December 20, 2002. On September 24, 2003, the maximum number of options available under the 2002 Plan was increased from 1,000,000 to 2,200,000. On December 19, 2003, Focus’ stockholders approved the amendment to the 2002 Plan. Options under the 2002 Plan may be granted to employees or directors of the Company. The exercise price per share of options granted under the 2002 Plan is equal to the market value of the common stock of the Company on the date of grant. The 2002 Plan requires that options granted will expire ten years from the date of grant. Each option granted under the 2002 Plan first becomes exercisable upon time periods set by the Compensation Committee of the Focus Board of Directors. Options and restricted stock issued from the 2002 Plan generally vest over a period of four years.  As of December 31, 2006, options under the 2002 Plan to purchase 2,063,286 shares of Focus’ common stock were outstanding with an exercise price between $0.66 and $2.22 per share.

F-30




2004 Non-Qualified Option Plan

On May 27, 2004, Focus’ Board of Directors adopted, and on August 6, 2004 Focus’ shareholders approved, the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”). Options and restricted stock under the 2004 Plan may be granted to employees or directors of the Company. The exercise price per share of options granted under the 2004 Plan is equal to the market value of the common stock of the Company on the date of grant. The 2004 Plan requires that options granted will expire ten years from the date of grant. Each option or restricted stock granted under the 2004 Plan first becomes exercisable upon time periods set by the Compensation Committee of the Focus Board of Directors. Options and restricted stock issued from the 2004 Plan generally vest over a period of three to five years. As of December 31, 2006, options under the 2004 Plan to purchase 1,368,510 shares of Focus’ common stock were outstanding with an exercise price between $0.73 and $1.14 per share.

Stock Compensation Plans

Prior to January 1, 2006, Focus accounted for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method supplemented by pro forma disclosures in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and SFAS No. 123. Employee stock options granted by Focus with an exercise price equal to the grant date fair value of the Company’s stock had no intrinsic value and therefore no expense was recorded for these options under APB Opinion No. 25. Grants of restricted stock awards were measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock with such value recognized as an expense over the corresponding vesting period of the award.

On January 1, 2006, Focus adopted SFAS 123R. SFAS 123R eliminates the alternative of applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 to stock compensation awards issued to employees.  SFAS 123R requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. Focus adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition approach and therefore prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. Under SFAS 123R, stock-based awards granted prior to its adoption will be expensed over the remaining portion of their requisite service period. These awards will be expensed under the accelerated amortization method using the same fair value measurements that were used in calculating pro forma stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123. For stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, Focus will amortize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally a four year vesting period. SFAS 123R requires that the deferred stock-based compensation on the balance sheet on the date of adoption be netted against additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2005, there was a balance of $214,000 of deferred stock-based compensation, which was netted against additional paid-in capital on January 1, 2006.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, Focus accounted for forfeitures upon occurrence. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised if necessary in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on Focus’ historical experience of option pre-vesting cancellations and estimates of future forfeiture rates, Focus has assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 10.5% for its options.

The implementation of SFAS 123R resulted in a $0.01 increase in the basic and diluted net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2006. However, it did not affect cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2006.

At December 31, 2006, Focus had the ability to issue an additional 2,933,071 shares of common stock under its current stock option and incentive plans, which includes restricted stock.

Stock Options

The exercise price of each stock option equals the market price of Focus’ common stock on the date of grant. Option grants generally vest over four years and expire five to ten years from the grant date. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used in the model are outlined in the following table:

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based on the combination of historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and the expected moderation in future volatility over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options and other factors. The risk-free interest rates are taken from the Daily Federal Yield Curve Rates as of the grant dates as published by the Federal Reserve and represent the yields on actively traded Treasury securities for terms equal to the expected term of the options. The expected term calculation is based on the Company’s observed historical option exercise behavior and post-vesting forfeitures of options by employees.

At December 31, 2006, Focus had $335,000 of unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted stock awards, which will be recognized over the weighted average period of 2.9 years.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, 61,250 shares of restricted stock vested with a fair market value of $42,000. For the year ended December 31, 2005, Focus recognized $58,000 of employee stock-based compensation expense relating to restricted stock.

Pro Forma Information under SFAS 123 for the Years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004

Prior to 2006, Focus followed the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 had the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 been applied to options granted under Focus’ equity-based employee compensation plans. For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the estimated value of the options is recognized over the options’ vesting periods. If Focus had recognized the expense of equity programs in the consolidated statements of operations, additional paid-in capital would have increased by a corresponding amount.

12.                   Income Taxes

Focus’ 2006, 2005 and 2004 effective tax rates were (0.4%), 0.2% and 2.5%, respectively. Focus’s income tax expense of $58,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 is comprised of minimum tax payments due within the United States and taxes due in foreign locations.

Focus’ income tax benefit of $23,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, is comprised of a $47,000 tax benefit generated by its foreign subsidiary, COMO, offset by a $24,000 tax provision related to minimum tax payments due within the United States and foreign locations. The $47,000 tax benefit generated by COMO results primarily from the tax benefit associated with 2005 operating losses and the reduction of a deferred tax liability associated with the amortization of intangible assets.

Focus’ income tax benefit of $282,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, is comprised of a $298,000 tax benefit generated by COMO, offset by a $16,000 tax provision related to minimum tax payments due within the United States and foreign locations. The $298,000 tax benefit generated by COMO results primarily from the tax benefit associated with 2004 operating losses and the reduction of a deferred tax liability associated with the amortization of intangible assets.

The differences between income tax expense (benefit) from the benefit computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rate are as follows:

The valuation allowance increased by approximately $7.5 million, $6.7 million and $2.2 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, approximately $2.2 million of the valuation allowance is related to the benefits attributable to stock option deductions which will be credited to additional paid-in capital when realized.

Focus has placed a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset. Realization of its deferred tax assets depends on generating sufficient taxable income in future years in appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain benefit from the reversal of temporary differences and from net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Due to the uncertainty of the timing and the amount of such realization in the other tax jurisdictions, management concluded that a full valuation allowance was required for the net deferred tax assets generated in the other tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2006.

F-37




 

At December 31, 2006, Focus had the following carryforwards available for income tax purposes:

(In thousands)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Federal net operating loss carryforwards

 

$

100,029

 

 

 

 

 

State net operating loss carryforwards

Federal credit for research activities

 

$

1,906

 

 

 

 

 

State credit for research activities

 

$

682

 

 

The federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire completely by 2026 if not utilized. The state net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various times in various jurisdictions and will expire completely by 2026 if not utilized. Foreign net operating losses have an indefinite carryforward period. The federal credits for research activities will expire completely 2026 if not utilized. The state credits for research activities have an indefinite carryforward period.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of these favorable tax attributes, Focus has placed a valuation allowance against its otherwise recognizable net deferred tax assets. Current federal and state laws include substantial restrictions on the utilization of the tax credits in the event of an “ownership change” of a corporation, as provided in section 382 of the internal revenue code. Accordingly, utilization of Focus’ net operating losses and tax credits may be limited.

13.                               Business Segment and Geographic Information

Focus’ reportable segments are Systems and Semiconductor. These reportable segments have distinct products — Systems consists of products designed for the video acquisition, media asset management and digital signage markets and Semiconductor consists of ASICs. Focus’ chief operating decision maker is the CEO.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Focus evaluates segment performance based on operating loss and does not allocate net interest, other income or taxes to operating segments. Additionally, Focus does not allocate assets by operating segment.

14.                               Employee Benefit Plan

Focus has a Section 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for all eligible employees, located in the United States. Employees are permitted to make pre-tax elective deferrals up to the maximum allowed by law. Employee contributions to the 401(k) Plan are fully vested at all times. In accordance with the 401(k) Plan, Focus may make discretionary matching contributions based on an employee’s pre-tax contributions and/or may make discretionary profit —sharing contributions. Depending on the type of contribution by Focus, amounts either become vested to an employee over a period of five years or are vested immediately. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, Focus made contributions of approximately $243,000, $162,000 and $59,000, respectively.

15.                               Related Party Transactions

Carl Berg

In December 2002, Mr. Berg, a member of Focus’ Board, provided Samsung Semiconductor Inc., one of Focus’ contracted ASIC manufacturers, with a personal guarantee to secure Focus’ working capital requirements for ASIC purchase order fulfillment. Mr. Berg agreed to provide the personal guarantee on Focus’ behalf without additional cost or collateral, as Mr. Berg maintains a secured priority interest in substantially all of Focus’ assets. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, Focus owed Samsung $91,000 and $342,000, respectively, under net 30 terms.

On March 19, 2004, Mr. Berg converted his approximately $3.9 million of debt and $587,000 of accrued interest into common and preferred stock. This conversion resulted in the issuance of 2,173,193 shares of Focus’ common stock and 840 shares of Series B preferred stock and 417 shares of Series C preferred stock, which are convertible into an additional 840,000 and 417,000 shares of Focus’ common stock, respectively.

In November 2004, Focus secured a line of credit of up to $4.0 million under which Focus can borrow up to 90% of its eligible outstanding accounts receivable. This line of credit is secured by a personal guarantee from Mr. Berg. In connection with this line of credit, the bank will obtain a priority security interest in Focus’ accounts receivable. Mr. Berg will maintain his security interest in all Focus’ assets, subject to the bank’s lien on accounts receivable.

On June 28, 2005, Focus signed a term loan agreement with Greater Bay Bank under which Focus can borrow up to $2.5 million - see note 8, “Borrowings”. Mr. Berg has personally guaranteed the term loan. In connection with Mr. Berg’s extension of his personal guarantee, Focus agreed to continue Mr. Berg’s priority interest in the Company’s assets, except for Focus’ accounts receivable, which Mr. Berg has subordinated to the bank, and to issue to Mr. Berg a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.81 per share. Mr. Berg exercised such warrant in 2006. The warrant was valued at $42,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and was charged to general and administrative expense at the time of issuance.

In connection with the $10.0 million convertible note financing completed in January 2006, Focus entered into an amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement by and among Greater Bay Bank, Mr. Berg and Focus, pursuant to which Greater Bay Bank, Mr. Berg and the holders of the notes have defined their relative rights and priorities with respect to the shared collateral, with Greater Bay Bank having a first priority security interest in certain specified collateral of Focus and an Intercreditor Agreement specifying the shared interests of the note holders and Mr. Berg in the collateral securing both the notes (all of Focus’ assets) and Mr. Berg’s guaranty of Focus’ obligations to Greater Bay Bank, subject to the priority security interest of the Greater Bay Bank.
