Preliminary results for the year ended March 31, 2000


These are the first results of the Focus Solutions Group as  a
public  company following the successful placing of shares  in
March  and  admission  to  the Alternative  Investment  Market
(AIM). The placing raised £10 million net of expenses for  the
Group.   The funds will enable the Group to extend its  market
reach  and  accelerate product development in the business  to
business e-commerce environment.

Turnover  for  the year exceeded budget to 31  March  2000  at
£721,000  (1999:  £360,000) and the loss before  taxation  was
£1,039,000   (1999:  £368,000).   The  increase  in   turnover
includes revenues in the latter part of the year arising  from
the  start  of goal:proposal licence revenue.  The anticipated
loss  is  the result of the accelerated investment in  product
development and in building up an experienced team  of  people
to  support  the  progress Focus Solutions  has  made  in  its
markets.


Commercial review

Focus   Solutions  has  maintained  and  developed  a   strong
relationship   with   CGU  which  is  now  consolidating   its
operations  with  Norwich Union. The merger has  afforded  new
opportunities  with the enlarged group and the Board  believes
further consolidation in the industry will be a key driver  to
bring  down  costs. This will  increase demand for  more  cost
effective,  electronically-based administrative solutions  and
new business processing.

The  Group has now delivered goal:proposal  to the market  and
in  its latest version it supports the standards of Origo, the
organisation representing the leading UK assurance  companies,
as  it  drives forward the introduction of electronic commerce
for  the  industry. Since flotation a further three companies,
including  Royal  & Sun Alliance and Friends  Provident,  have
bought  goal:proposal so that 11 top insurers in this  country
now  use  Focus Solutions' software for developing  electronic
proposals.

Focus  Solutions  also has partnership programmes  with  three
leading internet service providers - Moneyextra (formally  The
exchange),  Synaptic and Assuresoft. The eXchange  service  is
now  live  and Norwich Union was the first financial  services
Group  to  launch electronic products on this service.   These
service  providers  will  be deploying  the  Group's  software
products  to  all  their  end users. between  them  they  have
approximately 20,000 subscribers.  New product development has
continued  at a pace. goal:pos  is now well established  as  a
point  of sale tool and is progressively being moved into  new
distribution  channels.  We are actively pursuing  partnership
approach with the industry along similar lines to that of  our
other products.

The Group has also started research to take goal:proposal into
the  mortgage  market.  Good progress is being  made  and  the
Group hopes to secure partnerships later this year.

The Group's leading position in the life and pensions industry
means that it is holding more strategic discussions with major
insurance company customers and receiving a growing number  of
commercial  approaches from financial service portals.   Focus
Solutions  is  also expanding the development  skills  of  the
Group.    It   has   brought  in  additional  management   and
restructured  the development team to ensure the  Group  meets
its  accelerated product development plans whilst  maintaining
quality of product and service delivery to customers.

On  the  1st June 2000, Piers Brooke joined the board  as  our
third non executive director.  Piers, who has held a number of
senior  positions in the major clearing banks,  most  recently
with  NatWest  Group,  brings a wealth of  experience  to  the
Group.

The  considerable opportunities highlighted at the time of the
flotation  for the Group's products in the financial  services
market,  including new emerging distribution channels,  remain
as  strong  as ever which should  lead to significant  revenue
growth in the current year.

To  take advantage of these opportunities Focus Solutions  has
accelerated its sales and marketing recruitment programme with
additional business development managers to cover new  markets
and  new partnerships.  This team will be responsible for  the
enhancement of relationships with the service providers in the
financial  service market and negotiations with  new  internet
portals.  This team will also secure partnerships required  to
deploy  new versions of goal:proposal for the mortgage  market
place.

The  Group is on track to launch a  digital TV pilot using its
point of sale software and with its business development  team
it is looking to secure partners for worksite marketing.

The successful placing and the significant achievements in the
business  over the past year enables the Board to be confident
that  the business will continue to build its position as  the
leading  developer of business to business e-commerce software
solutions for the financial services industry.
