                            FOCUS ENHANCEMENTS, INC.
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated financial statements of FOCUS Enhancements, Inc. ("the
Company") as of March 31, 1998 and for the three month  periods  ended March 31,
1998  and  1997  are  unaudited  and  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the
consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 1997  included in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended  December 31, 1997.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly owned  subsidiaries  Lapis  Technologies,
Inc., TView, Inc., FOCUS Enhancements b. v. and Focus Networking,  Inc. On March
31, 1998, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of
Digital Vision, Inc. in a transaction accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. These assets and liabilities are included in the balance sheet as of
March 31, 1998. The operations  pursuant to this acquisition will be recorded in
the Company's  financial  statements  beginning April 1, 1998, In the opinion of
management,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  include  all  adjustments
(consisting  only  of  normal  recurring   adjustments)  necessary  for  a  fair
presentation  of the results of the interim  periods.  The results of operations
for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 are not  necessarily  indicative
of the results that may be expected for any future period.

2.       ACCOUNTING POLICY

         Securities - Available for Sale

         Securities - available for sale consist of common stock carried at fair
value, with unrealized gains and losses as a separate component of stockholders'
equity.

3.       NET INCOME PER SHARE

         In February 1997,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 - "Earnings
Per Share" which  requires  earnings per share to be  calculated  on a basic and
dilutive basis.  Basic earnings per share represents  income available to common
stock divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects  additional  common shares that
would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued,
as well  as any  adjustment  to  income  that  would  result  from  the  assumed
conversion.  Potential  common  shares that may be issued by the Company  relate
solely to outstanding  stock options and warrants,  and are determined using the
treasury  stock method.  The assumed  conversion of  outstanding  dilutive stock
options and warrants would increase the shares outstanding but would not require
an  adjustment  to income as a result of the  conversion.  For the three  months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  options and  warrants  applicable  to  5,460,505
shares and 6,011,659 shares,  respectively were  anti-dilutive and excluded from
the diluted  earnings per share  computation.  The  statement  is effective  for
interim and annual  periods  ending after  December  15, 1997,  and requires the
restatement of all prior period earnings per share data presented.  Accordingly,
the Company has restated  all earnings per share data for prior years  presented
herein.

4.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         In June  1997,  FASB  issued  SFAS No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income",   effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  1997.
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains
and losses be included in net income. Certain FASB statements,  however, require
entities  to  report  specific  changes  in  assets  and  liabilities,  such  as
unrealized  gains and  losses on  available-for-sale  securities,  as a separate
component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net
income, are components of comprehensive  income.  SFAS No. 130 requires that all
items of  comprehensive  income be  reported in a  financial  statement  that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.  Additionally,
SFAS No. 130 requires that the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income
be displayed separately form retained earnings and additional paid-in-capital in
the equity section of the balance sheet.  The Company  adopted these  disclosure
requirements  in the  first  quarter  of  1998  and  has  presented  comparative
disclosure  for the quarter  ended March 31, 1997.  In 1997,  the Company had no
other components of comprehensive income other than net income.

5.       INCOME TAXES

       The  Company  has  utilized  its  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  in
estimating  its provision for income taxes in the three month period ended March
31,1998.

6.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories consist of the following:

                                                 ==========          ==========

7.       NOTES PAYABLE

         Lines of Credit,  Banks.  The Company  maintains  a  revolving  line of
credit with a bank, which is fully drawn as of March 31, 1998.  Borrowings under
the line are payable upon demand and are  collateralized by all of the assets of
the Company,  except as noted below.  Borrowings,  aggregating $690,000 at March
31,  1998,  bear  interest  at the bank's  prime rate plus 1% (9.5% at March 31,
1998) and are personally  guaranteed by an investor.  In March 1998, the line of
credit was extended to June 8, 1998.

         Term Line of Credit.  At March 31, 1998, the Company owed $1,500,000 to
an unrelated  individual under a term line of credit  originated in October 1994
in the principal amount of $2,500,000.  Borrowings under the line of credit were
made  pursuant to a  promissory  note that was due on March 31, 1997 and was not
paid.  The Company is in the process of  renegotiating  the terms and expiration
date of this  loan with the  lender.  Pending  an  agreement  pertaining  to the
payment or renegotiation of this line of credit,  the Company  continues to make
quarterly  payments of interest  under the original  terms of this note.  In the
event that the  unaffiliated  lender  does not extend the due date,  the Company
would be required to pay the amounts  outstanding  from working  capital or from
equity or debt financing.

                                       9

         Term Loan, Bank. At March 31, 1998, the Company owed $329,953 to a bank
resulting  from the  purchase of certain  assets and the  assumption  of certain
liabilities of Digital  Vision,  Inc. The  borrowings  bear interest at the Wall
Street  Journal prime rate plus 2% (10.5% at March 31,  1998).  The terms of the
note  require  payment  of  interest  only  through   September  30,  1998.  The
outstanding  balance at  September  30,  1998 is payable  thereafter  in monthly
installments, with interest, until the loan expiration date of March 31, 1999.

8.          COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS

         On March 3, 1998,  the Company  completed a financing of  approximately
$3,000,000 in gross  proceeds from the sale of 1,092,150  shares of Common Stock
and warrants to purchase  327,645 of common  stock in a private  placement to an
unaffiliated  accredited  investor.  The warrants are exercisable until March 3,
2005 if during the period ending August 25, 1999, the average of the closing bid
prices of the Company's  common stock during any  consecutive 20 trading days is
equal to or less  than  $2.7469.  The  shares  issued  in  connection  with this
transaction and issuable upon exercise of the warrants were registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 on April 22, 1998. Fees and expenses associated with this
offering amounted to approximately $172,600 yielding net proceeds of $2,827,400.
In connection with this transaction, the Board of Directors authorized the grant
of warrants to the  placement  agent to purchase  21,429 shares of the Company's
common  stock at a price of $4.2118 per share  exercisable  for a period of five
years.

         On March 31, 1998, the Company issued  approximately  350,000 shares of
common  stock  valued  at  approximately  $1,115,600  in  conjunction  with  the
acquisition  of certain  assets of Digital  Vision,  Inc. Under the terms of the
asset purchase agreement,  the shares issued as part of this transaction will be
registered  under the  Securities  Act of 1933 on or before  June 30,  1998.  In
addition,  the Company agreed to pay  approximately  $47,000 in cash for the net
assets with a  preliminary  estimated  fair value of  approximately  ($105,000),
consisting of accounts receivable ($164,400),  inventory ($60,600) offset by the
assumption of notes payable ($330,000).  The resulting goodwill of approximately
$1,267,000 will be amortized over its estimated benefit period of ten years. The
preliminary  fair value of the assets are included in the balance sheet at March
31, 1998,  with the  operations  of Digital  Vision,  Inc. to be included in the
financial statements of the Company beginning April 1, 1998.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

         The  following  information  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the
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 the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997.

         The  Company  does  not  provide  forecasts  of  the  future  financial
performance of the Company.  However, from time to time, information provided by
the Company or statements  made by its employees may contain  "forward  looking"
information  that involves risks and  uncertainties.  In particular,  statements
contained in this Form 10-QSB which are not historical facts constitute  forward
looking  statements and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Each forward looking statement should
be read in  conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements and notes
thereto in Part I, Item 1, of this  Quarterly  Report  and with the  information
contained in Item 2, including,  but not limited to,  "Certain  Factors That May
Affect  Future  Results"  contained  herein,   together  with  the  Management's
Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results of  Operations
contained  in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB  for the year ended
December 31, 1997,  including,  but not limited to, the section therein entitled
"Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

               Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 1998 As Compared
                With The Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 1997

Net Sales

         Net sales for the  three-month  period  ended  March 31, 1998 ("Q1 98")
were  $5,251,948 as compared with  $4,801,550 for the  three-month  period ended
March 31, 1997 ("Q1 97"), an increase of $450,398 or 9%. The growth in net sales
is attributed to increased  sales to US resellers  offset by decreased  sales to
international resellers and OEM/Licensing customers.  Specifically, net sales in
Q1 98 to the Company's US resellers  increased 48% to $4,280,000 from $2,899,000
in Q1 97. Net sales to  international  resellers  declined 45% to $425,000  from
$770,000  for the same  quarter in 1997.  Net sales to  OEM/Licensing  customers
decreased 52% to $547,000 in Q1 98 from $1,133,000 for the same quarter in 1997.
This  decrease  reflects   primarily  a  reduction  in  OEM  sales  to  a  major
manufacturer  of personal  computers.  During Q1 97, net sales to this  customer
represented 4% of the Company's  revenues  compared to 15% of revenues  during a
comparable quarter in 1997.

         As of  March  31,  1998,  the  Company  had a sales  order  backlog  of
approximately $2.2 million.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 Cost of Goods Sold

         Cost  of  goods  sold  were  $2,781,936  or 52% of net  sales,  for the
three-month  period ended March 31, 1998, as compared with  $3,267,841 or 68% of
net sales,  for the  three-month  period  ended  March 31,  1997,  a decrease in
absolute  dollars of $485,905 or 15%. The Company's  gross profit margins for Q1
98 and Q1 97 were 48% and 32%, respectively.  The decrease in cost of goods sold
in absolute  dollars and as a percentage of sales is due  principally to reduced
manufacturing  costs  achieved  as a result  of the use of the  Company's  FS300
integrated circuit in manufacturing of the Company's  products,  combined with a
decrease in OEM sales on which margins are typically lower.

Sales, Marketing and Support Expenses

         Sales,  marketing and support  expenses  were  $1,166,327 or 22% of net
sales,  for the  three-month  period  ended March 31,  1998,  as  compared  with
$952,964,  or 20% of net sales, for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997,
an  increase  of  $213,363  or 22%.  The  increase  in  absolute  dollars is due
primarily to increased  sales  commissions  as a result of increased  sales from
period to period and, an increase in  advertising  and trade show events as well
as increased domestic channel expansion efforts.

General and Administrative Expenses

         General and  administrative  expenses for the three-month  period ended
March 31, 1998 were $541,231 or 10% of net sales, as compared with $385,092,  or
8% of net sales for the  three-month  period ended March 31, 1997, a increase of
$156,139  or 41%.  The  increase  in  absolute  dollars  is due  primarily  to a
increases in  depreciation  of $52,000,  goodwill  amortization  associated with
TView,  Inc.  and Lapis of $9,000  and  increased  costs of  employee  benefits,
recruiting and temporary services of $60,000.

Research and Development Expenses

         Research  and  development  expenses for the  three-month  period ended
March 31, 1998 were $310,801, or 6% of net sales, as compared to $179,402, or 4%
of net sales,  for  three-month  period  ended  March 31,  1997,  an increase of
$131,399 or 73%.  The  increase is due  principally  to increases in payroll and
employee  benefits  of  $70,000,  in  recruiting  expenses  of  $18,000,  and in
consulting expenses of $39,000.

Interest Expense, Net

         Net interest  expense for the  three-month  period ended March 31, 1998
was $77,039, or 1.5% of net sales, as compared to $67,240, or 1.4% of net sales,
for the  three-month  period  ended March 31,  1997,  an increase of $9,799,  or
14.5%. The increase is primarily attributable to fees incurred for the extension
of the Company's revolving line of credit.

Other Income

         Other Income for the  three-month  period ended March 31, 1998 was $634
as compared to $69,015,  for the three-month  period ended March 31, 1997. Other
income for Q1 97 of $69,015  resulted from the  settlement  of certain  accounts
payable obligations.

Net Income 

          For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company  reported net income
of $364,748, or $0.03 per share, as compared to $16,476, or $0.00 per share, for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997

                                       12

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash used in operating activities for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 was ($2,264,567) and ($874,724), respectively. In Q1 98,
net cash used in  operating  activities  consisted  primarily  of an increase in
accounts  receivable of $1,297,886 and decreases in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities  of  $1,455,445  and  $205,254,  respectively.  This was  offset  by
increases in prepaid  expenses of $108,844,  in  depreciation  and  amortization
(non-cash charge) of $153,272, and net income of $364,748. As of March 31, 1998,
accounts  receivable from a major distributor and from a major national retailer
represented   approximately  31%  and  10%,  respectively,   of  total  accounts
receivable.   In  Q1  98,  the  Company  wrote-off   approximately  $400,000  of
uncollectable  accounts receivable against a reserve established at December 31,
1997. In Q1 98, the Company  continued to record provisions for potential future
uncollectable accounts. The Company continually monitors inventory levels at its
resellers,  and  during  Q1  98  experienced  improved  sell-through  and  lower
inventory levels of its products in its distribution channels.

         In the three months ended March 31, 1997,  net cash used in  operations
consisted  primarily of an increase in accounts  receivable of $2,007,873.  This
was offset by an increase in accounts payable of $909,071.

         Net cash used in investing activities for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 was ( $195,432) and  ($234,806)  respectively.  In Q1 98
and Q1 97, cash used in investing activities was principally for the purchase of
property and equipment.

         Net cash from financing  activities for the  three-month  periods ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $2,904,772 and $1,996,353,  respectively.  In Q1 98,
the Company received $2,827,355 in net proceeds from private offerings of common
stock and $148,142 from the exercise of common stock  options and warrants.  The
Company's  financing  proceeds  were  offset by  payments  on notes  payable and
capital  lease  obligations.  In the same period in 1997,  the Company  received
$1,996,813  in net proceeds  from private  offerings of Common Stock and $25,359
from the  exercise of common  stock  options and  warrants.  The Q1 97 financing
proceeds were offset by payments on notes payable and capital lease obligations.

         As of March 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of $5,825,071, as
compared to  $2,619,300  at December 31, 1997,  an increase of  $3,298,412.  The
Company's  cash position  increased to $1,164,624 at March 31, 1998, an increase
of $444,773, or 62%, over amounts at December 31, 1997.

         On March 3, 1998, the Company sold 1,092,150 shares of common stock and
warrants to purchase 327,645 of common stock for gross proceeds of $3,000,000 in
a private  placement to an unaffiliated  accredited  investor.  The warrants are
exercisable until March 3, 2005 if during the period ending August 25, 1999, the
average of the  closing  bid prices of the  Company's  common  stock  during any
consecutive 20 trading days is equal to or less than $2.7469.  The shares issued
in connection  with this  transaction and issuable upon exercise of the warrants
were  registered  under the Securities  Act of 1933 on April 22, 1998.  Fees and
expenses  associated  with this  offering  amounted  to  approximately  $172,600
yielding net proceeds of $2,827,400.  In connection with this  transaction,  the
Board of Directors  authorized  the grant of warrants to the placement  agent to
purchase  21,429 shares of the Company's  common stock at a price of $4.2118 per
share exercisable for a period of five years.

         Although  the  Company  has  been  successful  in the  past in  raising
sufficient  capital to fund its  operations,  there can be no assurance that the
Company will achieve sustained  profitability or obtain sufficient  financing in
the  future to provide  the  liquidity  necessary  for the  Company to  continue
operations.
                                                                     
         At March 31,  1998,  the  Company  was in  violation  of  certain  debt
covenants  relating to the line of credit  with its  commercial  bank.  In March
1998, the Company received a waiver of the covenants from the commercial bank, a
revision of the loan covenants and an agreement to extend the line until June 8,

1998. In addition,  the Company is currently  negotiating  with its unaffiliated
lender to extend the March 1998 due date for the $1.5 million note payable which
was in default as of the date of this report. In the event that the unaffiliated
lender does not extend the due date,  the  Company  would be required to pay the
amounts outstanding from working capital or from equity or debt financing.

Effects of Inflation and Seasonality

         The Company believes that inflation has not had a significant impact on
the  Company's  sales or operating  results.  The  Company's  business  does not
experience  substantial  variations  in revenues or operating  income during the
year due to seasonality.

Environmental Liability

         The Company has no known environmental violations or assessments.


CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

         The  Company  does  not  provide  forecasts  of  the  future  financial
performance of the Company.  However, from time to time, information provided by
the Company or statements  made by its employees may contain  "forward  looking"
information  that involve risks and  uncertainties.  In  particular,  statements
contained in this Form 10-QSB which are not historical facts (including, but not
limited to, statements concerning international revenues,  anticipated operating
expense levels and such expense levels relative to the Company's total revenues)
constitute  forward  looking  statements  and are made  under  the  safe  harbor
provisions  of  the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of  1995.  The
Company's  actual results of operations and financial  condition have varied and
may in the future vary  significantly  from those stated in any forward  looking
statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, without limitation,
the availability of capital to fund the Company's future cash needs, reliance on
major customers,  history of operating losses,  limited  availability of capital
under credit  arrangements  with  lenders,  market  acceptance  of the Company's
products, technological obsolesence,  competition, component supply problems and
protection of proprietary information,  as well as the accuracy of the Company's
internal estimates of revenue and operating expense levels.
