                FOCUS Enhancements Sells Networking Product Line
                  to Advanced Electronic Support Products, Inc.


SUDBURY, MASS., October 9, 1997 - FOCUS Enhancements, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCSE, FCSEW)
today announced that it has sold the complete Focus  Networking line of computer
connectivity  products to Advanced  Electronic  Support Products,  Inc. (NASDAQ:
AESP, AESPW;  CSE: ADS, ADSWS).  Consideration for this purchase totaled 189,701
shares of AESP common stock.

Included in the sale were FOCUS  Enhancements  networking  division's  U.S.  and
European customer lists and the rights to use the Focus Networking brand name to
market the existing FOCUS computer  connectivity product line as well as certain
of AESP's complimentary products.

"We are confident  that Advanced  Electronic  Support  Products will continue to
deliver the quality  products and customer  service  which the Focus  Networking
division has established,"  stated FOCUS Chairman and CEO Thomas L. Massie. "The
sale of this division, which accounted for approximately 9% of total revenue for
the six month period ended June 30, 1997, represents the final stage of our plan
to concentrate all corporate resources on PC-to-TV development and marketing."

More than 1.5 million FOCUS computer  connectivity  products have been installed
world-wide  through a network of leading  distributors  and mail order companies
such as  MicroWharehouse,  PC Zone, Global Direct, and PC Connection.  The FOCUS
connectivity  products  include  EtherLAN PDS, NuBus,  and PCI cards, as well as
transceivers   and  hubs  based  on  the  latest  10BaseT  and  10Mbps  Ethernet
technology.

According to AESP  President  Slav Stein,  "FOCUS  Enhancements  penetrated  the
networking  industry  by  developing  a  line  of  competitively   priced,  high
performance connectivity devices that are well regarded within the industry. The
acquisition  of the Focus  Networking  product  line  including  the brand names
Turbonet,  EtherLAN,  and Lightning Series, offer AESP several  opportunities in
distribution,  customer base, and product breadth.  In addition,  we expect that
the synergy of the Focus  Networking  product line with our networking  business
will enable us to expand volume without commensurate overhead increases."
