              Focus signs largest goal:technology contract to date



Focus Solutions Group, the specialist provider of sales automation solutions,

the use of its goal:technology software with a top five Insurance Company*.



Under the terms of the agreement with Focus, the customer will extend its use of
Focus's goal:technology software to develop solutions for use by IFAs and

mortgage business.

recurring revenue stream and visibility of earnings and the Board believes
further significant revenues will be generated through additional services to
this customer in 2004 and beyond.

"This contract represents a substantial step forward for Focus. The agreement
represents the largest goal;technology contract to date and strengthens the
relationship with the insurance community, which will influence moving forward
our product development plans to the benefit of both parties. Focus's technology
continues to be in demand from major financial services companies keen to
improve efficiency , cut costs and realise ROI in less than one budget period."
