               Focus Solutions Group plc ("Focus" or "the Group")

                 Focus announces new contract with new mortgage
                            network - Home of Choice


Focus, a leading provider of customer management solutions to the financial
services market, has today announced a contract with an innovative new mortgage
network - Home of Choice ("HoC").

The five-year contract is worth £689,000, of which £460,000 is recognised in
this financial year. The contract includes the development of an online solution
to enable HoC to recruit, register and support new mortgage advisers for the
network. Focus was also commissioned to deliver a number of additional
applications including a full sales support system for the provision of product
information, management of the regulated sales cycle, and a complex commission
processing system. The new solution was built using Focus' MCA for Mortgages
approach, with Focus' XML toolkit, "goal:technology", integrated with BEA's
WebLogic(TM) to provide the workflow framework.

As a new start up organisation, speed of development and deployment were key
criteria to the success of the HoC business. The timescales for the project were
particularly challenging and the first phase of the project was delivered to HoC
within just six weeks. The online recruitment solution went live in July 2005
and a substantial number of advisers have already been recruited and are trading
effectively.

Keith Baldwin, Chief Executive, Home of Choice commented:

"Technology plays a key role in the development of our new mortgage network and
we see its application as a key differentiator in enabling us to recruit
advisers and support the sales process electronically. We selected Focus to
develop the new HoC solution based on a combination of their record of proven
delivery in the mortgage marketplace, robust technology and industry knowledge."

John Streets, Chief Executive Officer, Focus Solutions Group added;

"Using our MCA for Mortgages approach we were able to reduce risk and rapidly
develop and deploy a solution for HoC within very short timescales. Since the
start of mortgage regulation there has been a need across all mortgage
organisations to operate in a fully compliant manner in line with FSA
guidelines. The new regime has caused great pressure on the market to ensure
internal systems and sales processes alike meet the regulator's requirements and
Focus is well positioned to help companies fulfil these obligations."
