FOCUS AFFILIATES INC (OTC:FONE) - Focus Affiliates, Inc. is engaged in the wholesale distribution of wireless communications products. The Company has begun to transition its business to that of a business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce provider of wireless communications products and services. The Company has adopted a new e-commerce strategy to exchange goods, services and information online. The emphasis will be on the elimination of supply chain friction and reducing transaction costs while helping wireless service providers gain access to a broader range of customers and generating new revenue opportunities through emerging channels.

The Company anticipates that new distribution channels may represent one of the faster growing segments of wireless subscriptions. Using its proprietary Web application, the Company intends to provide these new and emerging channels of wireless distribution with a turnkey, Internet-based business solution. The Company has built an e-commerce system that should provide meaningfully lower operational costs that may be shared with its customers, while its online order entry system is designed to significantly reduce errors associated with order taking. Focus' processes allow network operators to align themselves with name brand marketing companies that utilize Focus to completely manage this channel without conflicting with their current methods of distribution.

Through its wholesale distribution activities and its October 1999 acquisition of Cellular Wholesalers, Inc. (CWI), the Company has developed a customer base of more than 3,000 wholesalers, network operators, agents, dealers and retailers, principally in the domestic marketplace.

Strategic initiatives include B2B e-fulfillment programs targeting two new fast-emerging wireless telecom distribution channels, mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) and e-retailers. Additional initiatives include operating a B2B wireless marketplace for the wireless telecom industry. Such activities would be designed to facilitate e-commerce between trading partners utilizing relationships and industry expertise.

As a distributor, the Company offers wireless products purchased indirectly and directly from leading manufacturers. The Company's product offerings include a variety of hand-held and mobile cellular telephones featuring brand names such as Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, NEC, Audiovox and Samsung. The Company continually reviews and evaluates wireless products in determining the mix of products purchased for resale to customers. For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, approximately, 92.0%, 92.3% and 84.7%, respectively, of the Company's net sales were derived from sales of wireless telephones. A significant portion of the Company's sales were of Motorola, Ericsson and Nokia products. Motorola, Ericsson and Nokia handsets are not available to the Company directly from these manufacturers. Since the Company purchases these handsets from third parties, it does not obtain price protection, cooperative advertising and marketing allowances on such products.

As part of its new strategic initiative, the Company's business-to-business (B2B) e-fulfillment programs are designed to provide comprehensive, Internet-enabled facilitation programs for network operators, manufacturers and other service providers. These services will include end-to-end transaction management and the facilitation of product procurement, inventory risk management, handset programming, kitting, shipping and returned goods management. In return for such services, the Company will seek to generate fees from the distribution channel or end user. The Company is primarily focused on two new fast-emerging wireless telecom distribution channels, MVNOs and e-retailers.

The Company's B2B marketplace, SourceWireless.com, seeks to provide prospective trading members with multiple ways to promote and sell their products and branding. Virtual StoreFronts are the cornerstone to the marketplace community for SourrceWireless.com.

About BUYINS.NET

WWW.BUYINS.NET is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight naked short selling. Naked short selling is the illegal act of short selling a stock when no affirmative determination has been made to locate shares of the stock to hypothecate in connection with the short sale. Buyins.net has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the naked short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted and naked shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short and naked short trades.

BUYINS.NET has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted, www.buyins.net/squeezetrigger.pdf. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2,750,000,000 short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like Buyins.net to access the data.

The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, BUYINS.NET provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money.
