NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.                                      Description of Business

Focus Enhancements, Inc. (“Focus” or “the Company”), headquartered in Campbell, California, is a leading designer of solutions in advanced, proprietary video and wireless video technologies. Focus’ Semiconductor group develops integrated circuits (“ICs”) for high-performance applications in the video convergence market, including integrated internet protocol television (“IPTV”) set-top boxes and portable media players. Focus is currently developing a wireless IC chip set based on the WiMedia Ultra Wideband (“UWB”) standard, designed to be compatible with wireless universal serial bus (“USB”) and used in personal computer (“PC”), consumer electronics and mobile electronics applications. Focus’ Systems group develops video products for the digital media markets, with customers in the broadcast, video production, digital signage and digital asset management markets.

2.                                      Basis of Presentation – Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Focus have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of Focus’ financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Focus as of September 30, 2006 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, included in Focus’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

3.                                      Management’s Plans

The accompanying condensed 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 nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, Focus incurred net losses of $12.9 million and $15.4 million, respectively, and used net cash in operating activities of $6.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively. These results indicate that Focus may potentially be unable to continue as a going concern.

The condensed 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.

5




Focus received gross proceeds of $10.0 million from the issuance of secured convertible notes to a group of private investors in January 2006. While management believes that these funds, along with the cash flow generated by Focus’ expanding Systems business, should be adequate to enable Focus to complete its UWB engineering development and launch commercialization of its UWB products, depending upon the results and timing of its UWB initiative and the profitability of its Systems business, Focus may need to raise further capital in 2007. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be raised. Moreover, any equity financing or convertible debt financing would result in dilution to Focus’ existing stockholders and could have a negative effect on the market price of its common stock. Furthermore, any additional debt financing will result in higher interest expense.

There is no assurance that management’s plans will be successful, or if successful, that they will result in Focus continuing as a going concern.

4.                                      Equity-Based Compensation

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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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 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.

The effect of recording stock-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was as follows:

The implementation of SFAS 123R did not affect basic and diluted net loss per share nor cash flows from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and did not effect cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, Focus recognized $17,000 and $41,000, respectively, of employee stock-based compensation expense under the intrinsic value method.

At September 30, 2006, Focus had the ability to issue an additional 479,628 shares of common stock under its current stock option and incentive option plans, which include 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 5 to 10 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 weighted average grant date fair value of options granted in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $0.72 and $0.51 per share, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $145,000 and $194,000, respectively. At September 30, 2006, Focus had $690,000 of unrecognized stock compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock option plans, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining service period of 2.0 years. Cash received from stock option exercises was $399,000 and $856,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. Focus settles employee stock option exercises with newly issued shares of common stock.

The options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2006 were in the following exercise price ranges:

At September 30, 2006, Focus had $383,000 of unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted stock awards, which will be recognized over the weighted average period of 3.1 years.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, 61,250 shares of restricted stock vested with a fair market value of $41,000. No restricted stock vested during the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Pro Forma Information under SFAS 123 for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005

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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations, additional paid-in capital would have increased by a corresponding amount.

Based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted average grant date fair value of employee stock option grants was $0.52 and $0.54 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005

5.                                      Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, if dilutive. Options to purchase 6,507,857 and 7,488,758 shares of common stock, unvested shares of restricted stock of 730,307 and 245,000, warrants to purchase 5,195,261 and 4,160,621 shares of common stock and 3,161 shares of preferred stock convertible into 3,161,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine month periods as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, convertible notes that are convertible into 10,425,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2006, but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine month periods as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

6.                                      Significant Customers

Sales to one customer accounted for 48% of Focus’ revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2006.  Sales to one customer accounted for 26% of Focus’ revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  No customer accounted for more than 10% of Focus’ revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.

One customer had accounts receivable balances in excess of 10% of Focus’ total accounts receivable at September 30, 2006. This customer accounted for 24% of Focus’ total accounts receivable at that date. As of December 31, 2005, two distributors each represented approximately 12% of Focus’ accounts receivable.

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. The credit line expires on December 24, 2006 as a result of an extension granted in November 2005 and 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 is subject to ongoing covenants including a covenant based on operating results. Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at a rate of prime plus 1%, which was 9.25% at September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, there was $500,000 outstanding on this credit line and Focus had the ability to borrow up to $2.9 million.  At September 30, 2006, Focus was not in compliance with the maximum net loss covenant.  On November 8, 2006, Focus received a waiver from Greater Bay Bank.

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 has a maturity date of December 24, 2006. 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 September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, there was $700,000 outstanding balance 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 September 30, 2006, no date has been set for the potential spin-off nor have 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 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 condensed 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

13




(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 condensed 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.

10.                               Commitments and Contingencies

Research and Development Agreements

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 January 2007. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, $58,000 and $218,000, respectively, was charged to research and development expense based on the level of effort incurred by the third party. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, $467,000 and $1.7 million was charged to research and development expense based on the level of effort incurred by the third party.  At September 30, 2006, Focus had $229,000 recorded as payable, of which $88,000 was included within accounts payable and $141,000 was included in other 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 nine months ended September 30, 2006, $263,000 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.  The project was completed in April 2006 and all amounts due under the development agreement were billed and collected by June 30, 2006.

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.

At September 30, 2006, Focus had issued non-cancelable purchase orders for approximately $4.9 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.

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.

11.                               Stockholders’ Equity

Carl Berg

In December 2002, Mr. Berg provided Samsung Semiconductor Inc., Focus’ contracted Application Specific Integrated Circuit (“ASIC”) manufacturer, 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 September 30, 2006, Focus owed Samsung $624,000 under net 30 day payment terms.

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.

14.                               Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”). SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. SFAS 155 gives entities the option of applying fair value accounting to certain hybrid financial instruments in their entirety if they contain certain embedded derivatives that would otherwise require bifurcation under SFAS 133. SFAS 155 will be effective as of January 1, 2007. Focus is currently assessing the impact that SFAS 155 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting For Uncertain Tax Positions — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB 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 to its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF on 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)” (“EITF 06-3”). EITF 06-3 includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes. EITF 06-3 concludes that the presentation of taxes on either a gross (included in revenues and costs) or a net (excluded from revenues) basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. The provisions of EITF 06-3 should be applied to financial reports for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted. Focus is currently assessing the impact of the adoption that EITF 06-3 may have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 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 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 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

18




earnings. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007; therefore, Focus anticipates adopting SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008. Focus is assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS 157.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” 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 is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting the provisions of SAB 108 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Focus’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and Item 1A—”Risk Factors”—contained therein.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

Discussions of certain matters in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as such, may involve risks and uncertainties.  Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by the use of words or phrases such as “believe”, “plan”, “expect”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “project”, “forecast”, “may increase”, “may fluctuate”, “may improve” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “should”, “would”, and “could”.  

In particular, statements contained in this document that are not historical facts (including, but not limited to, statements concerning anticipated revenues, anticipated operating expense levels, capital resources and needs and liquidity outlook, potential new products and orders, and such expense levels relative to our total revenues) constitute forward-looking statements and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results of operations and financial condition have varied and may in the future vary significantly and materially from those stated in any forward-looking statements.  Factors that may cause such differences include, without limitation, the availability of capital to fund our future cash needs, reliance on major customers, history of operating losses, market acceptance of our products, technological obsolescence, competition, successful integration of acquisitions, component supply problems and protection of proprietary information, the unpredictability of costs to develop new technologies, as well as the accuracy of our internal estimates of revenue and operating expense levels.  For a discussion of these factors and some of the factors that might cause such a difference see also Item 1A of our Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors” and those described from time to time in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements except as required by law.

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $11.6 million, an increase of $4.7 million, or 69%, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2005. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $27.2 million, an increase of $8.7 million, or 47%, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

For the three months ended September 30, 2006, sales of system products to distributors, retailers and Value Added Resellers were approximately $5.4 million compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2005, a decrease of $493,000. The decrease was due to decreased sales of our mature mixer and consumer scan conversion products partially offset by increased sales of our recently introduced variants of our high definition Direct to Edit product line.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, sales of our system products were approximately $17.9 million compared to $16.2 million for the same period in 2005, an increase of $1.7 million. The increase was due to the strong sales of high definition Direct to Edit product line and increased sales of ProxSys partially offset by decreased sales of our mature mixer and scan versions products.

Sales of semiconductor products to distributors and OEM customers were $6.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $5.2 million compared to $946,000 in the comparative period in 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, sales of our semiconductor products were approximately $9.3 million compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2005, an increase of $7.0 million. This increase is being driven by customers incorporating our video convergence chips in their portable media player (PMP) designs for the 2006 holiday season.

As of September 30, 2006, we had a sales order backlog of $4.9 million, a decrease of $3.9 million when compared to the second quarter of 2006. The decrease in backlog between the third quarter and second quarter of 2006 is primarily the result of the seasonality of our customer’s ordering.  Backlog for the third quarter of 2005 was $893,000.

Sales to one customer accounted for 48% our revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2006.  Sales to one customer accounted for 26% of our revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. No customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Our gross margin rate in the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased to 49.9% from 36.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 13.3 percentage points. Our gross margin rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased to 45.0% from 36.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 8.9 percentage points. This increase in the gross margin rate mainly reflects an increase in sales of our higher margin Direct to Edit HD recorders, higher margin semiconductor chips and an increase in overall sales volume.

Sales, marketing and support

Sales, marketing and support expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $2.1 million compared to $1.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $348,000. The increase in sales, marketing and support expenses mainly reflects an increase in payroll and payroll-related expenses of $125,000 resulting from an increase in headcount and an increase in commission and bonus expense primarily reflecting the increase in sales revenue, an increase of trade show expenses of approximately $61,000 and an increase of $89,000 of consulting and temporary help to assist with advertising, lead generation and web marketing. Stock-based compensation increased $48,000 over the prior period.

Sales, marketing and support expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $6.8 million, compared to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $1.8 million. The increase in sales, marketing and support expenses mainly reflects an increase in payroll and payroll-related expenses of over $960,000 resulting from an overall increase in headcount of eight 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 $294,000 in consultants and temporary help, an increase of $218,000 related to trade show expenses and $170,000 in increased advertising and direct marketing expenses associated with lead generation and web marketing during the period. Stock-based compensation increased $120,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $1.0 million, compared to $925,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $100,000. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to an increase in payroll and payroll-related expenses of $150,000 resulting from an increase in headcount and bonus expense, increased stock-based compensation expense of $136,000 and increased accounting fees of approximately $45,000 partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense of $67,000 and decreased legal fees of $88,000.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $3.0 million, compared to $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $85,000. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to an increase in payroll and payroll-related expenses of $200,000 resulting from an increase in headcount and bonus expense and increased stock-based compensation expense of $136,000 largely offset by a decrease in legal fees of $87,000, a decrease in bad debt expense of $75,000 and decreased consulting and recruiting expenses of $100,000.

Research and development

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $3.1 million, compared to $3.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $137,000. The increase in research and development expenses mainly reflects an increase in payroll and payroll-related expenses of $238,000 and increased expenses for development tools and tooling charges of $142,000 related to our UWB development.  The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $124,000 in consulting fees due to the UWB project nearing completion and decreased development fees.

23




Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $9.0 million, compared to $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of $1.3 million.  The decrease in research and development expenses mainly reflects a decrease in consulting and temporary help expenses of $2.2 million, partially offset by increased material and prototyping charges of $600,000 related to our UWB initiative, increased license fees of $72,000 for development tools and increased stock-based compensation of $149,000. The decrease in consulting and temporary help expense is due to the UWB development project nearing completion

Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $337,000, compared to $93,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005. Net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $828,000 compared to $174,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in net interest expense reflects interest expense on approximately $11.6 million of debt at September 30, 2006 compared to debt of approximately $5.5 million at September 30, 2005.

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 condensed consolidated statements of operations as value of derivative security as 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 million convertible notes, eliminating the derivative component. However, we were required to revalue the derivative liability as of the amendment date based on the closing price of our common stock of $0.85, the remaining term coinciding with the contract and a volatility of 83%. As such, we recorded a $1.8 million expense for the change in the fair value of the derivative liability in the three months ended June 30, 2006. With the elimination of the derivative component, we reclassified the total derivative liability of approximately $5.4 million to additional paid-in capital during the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

The nine month change in value of the derivative security represents the difference between the fair value of the derivative liability when the convertible notes were issued and the fair value of the derivative liability at June 30, 2006. The revaluation of the derivative liability resulted in a $1.4 million expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Other income (expense) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 consists mainly of fluctuations associated with exchange rate differences related to transactions denominated in foreign currency.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The accompanying condensed 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 nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, we incurred net losses of $12.9 million and $15.4 million, respectively, and used cash in operating activities of $6.1 million, and $12.5 million, respectively. These factors indicate that we may potentially be unable to continue as a going concern.

The condensed 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. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent 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.

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

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $6.1 million and $9.4 million, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities mainly reflects a decrease in the net loss adjusted for non-cash items and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities partially offset by an increase in cash used for accounts receivable, inventories and other current assets. The increase in accounts receivable reflects an increase in net revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in inventories reflects our higher sales run rate compared to prior year. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities mainly reflects timing of payments related to our UWB investment.

One customer had accounts receivable balances in excess of 10% of our total accounts receivable at September 30, 2006. This customer accounted for 24% of our total accounts receivable at that date.

We expect that our operating cash flows may fluctuate in future periods as a result of fluctuations in 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 was $412,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $207,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 does not include the decrease in restricted cash of $289,000 reflected for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 partially offset by purchases of equipment for our semiconductor operations and purchases of design tools primarily related to our investment in UWB technology.

Net cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 mainly consists of proceeds of $10.0 million from the issuance of convertible notes, $500,000 of borrowing under the line of credit, $700,000 of borrowing under the term loan and proceeds of $1.3 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants, partially offset by total repayment on our term loan and line of credit facilities totaling $5.5 million. Net cash from financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consisted mainly of borrowings of $2.6 million under our accounts receivable-based line of credit and $4.0 million under our term loan, net proceeds of $1.6 million received in June 2005 from a private equity placement transaction, proceeds of $488,000 from the sale of escrow shares and the reimbursement of acquisition fees by Visual Circuits Corporation Liquidating Trust related to the acquisition of Visual Circuits, partially offset by repayments of $375,000 related to our German subsidiary’s line of credit balance and $1.5 million repayments under our term loan.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Outlook

We have incurred losses and used net cash in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005, and as such, have been dependent upon raising money for short- and long-term cash needs through debt, proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants, and the sale of our securities in private placements.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, we received approximately $4.5 million in proceeds from the sale of approximately 7.4 million shares 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, excluding accounts receivable of COMO. Carl Berg, a Company director and shareholder, provided a personal guarantee to secure this credit line. In connection with this credit line, the 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%. At September 30, 2006, there was $500,000 outstanding balance on this credit line and $2.4 million was available to borrow. The credit line expires on December 24, 2006. At September 30, 2006, Focus was not in compliance with the net loss covenant.  On November 8, 2006, Focus received a waiver from Greater Bay Bank

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 December 24, 2006, 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%. At September 30, 2006, there was $700,000 outstanding balance under this term loan and $1.8 million was available to borrow.

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. On June 30, 2006, in accordance with the terms of the secured convertible notes, we issued an additional $425,000 of convertible notes in lieu of a cash interest payment due on June 30, 2006. While we believe that these funds, along with the cash flow generated by our expanding Systems business, 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 profitability of our Systems business, we may need to raise further capital in 2007. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be raised. 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. Furthermore, any additional debt financing will result in higher interest expense.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

At September 30, 2006, we did not hold any short-term investments that would be exposed to market risk from adverse movements in interest rates.

At September 30, 2006, our outstanding debt obligations consisted of secured convertible notes of $10.4  million – see Note 9, “Borrowings”. A fixed interest rate is applicable to these debt obligations of 10.0% per annum.

Foreign Currency Risk

Gains or losses related to foreign exchange currency transactions were not material for the periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Item 4. 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, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are effective.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our third fiscal 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 $750,000. We will be required to meet these requirements by December 31, 2007.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.            Legal proceedings

From time to time, Focus is party to certain other 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 Focus’ financial position or results of operation.

Item 1A.         Risk Factors

Except as described below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. You should carefully consider the risks identified therein any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results as well as the following risk factors.

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 $10.4 million outstanding principal amount of convertible notes would be deemed 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 regained compliance and the matter was closed.

At September 30, 2006, we had total stockholders’ equity of $5.9 million. To the extent we incur net losses and do not raise additional capital, our stockholders’ equity will be reduced.

If the minimum bid price of our common stock were to close below $1.00 for 30 consecutive days, 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 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.

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 Stock Market or another established automated over-the-counter trading market in the United States, all amounts outstanding under our $10.4 million convertible notes would become due and payable at the option of the holders

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

At November 7, 2006, we had 3,161 shares of preferred shares issued and outstanding, 4,928,882 warrants and 5,951,571 options outstanding, and $10.4 million of convertible notes outstanding, which are

30




convertible into 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 10,425,000 shares of common stock. Furthermore, at November 7, 2006, 475,001 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.

A significant portion of our semiconductor revenue is from products that are designed for consumer goods that have seasonal sales.

A significant portion of our semiconductor revenue is subject to risks associated with the sales of certain end products at retail that are seasonal, with a majority of retail sales occurring during the period of August through October. 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 sales during the relatively brief holiday season.
