$650,000                                                           June 29, 2001

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  FOCUS  Enhancements,  Inc, a Delaware  corporation
(the "Company"), with its principal office at 1370 Dell Ave, Campbell, CA 95118,
unconditionally  promises  to pay to the order of Carl Berg (the  "Payee" or the
"Holder"),  or registered assigns, the principal amount of Six Hundred and Fifty
Thousand  Dollars  ($650,000) or such amount thereof as may be outstanding  (the
principal  balance  as it may  change  from time to time  being  the  "Principal
Amount") on January 3, 2002 (the  "Maturity  Date")  together  with  accrued and
unpaid interest  thereon,  in the manner set forth herein.  The Company may draw
down under this Note in one or more  drawdowns of not less than  $100,000 at any
time prior to January 3, 2002.  Each such  drawdown  shall be noted on Exhibit A
attached  to this  Note.  The  Company  further  agrees to pay  interest  on the
Principal  Amount at the rate per annum of "Prime"  rate of interest  plus 1% on
the outstanding  Principal Amount.  The Principal Amount is payable in such coin
or currency of the United  States of America as at the time of payment  shall be
legal  tender for the payment of public and  private  debts.  Interest  shall be
calculated  from and  including  from the date of this Note to but not including
the date such Principal  Amount has been repaid in full.  Interest shall be paid
quarterly  (based  upon a  calendar  quarter)  on the  twenty-fifth  day of each
quarter and shall be  calculated  on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day  year, as
the case may be,  for the  actual  number of days  elapsed.  The  Prime  rate of
interest rate shall be determined on the date of this Note and shall be adjusted
every July 1 and January 1 of each year (the "Interest Rate Determination Date")
based on the Prime rate published in Western  Edition of The Wall Street Journal
on the last business day immediately  preceding the Interest Rate  Determination
Date.

         Each payment by the Company pursuant to this Note shall be made without
set-off or counterclaim and in immediately available funds.

         The Company (i) waives  presentment,  demand,  protest or notice of any
kind  (other  than  notice of  default)  in  connection  with this Note and (ii)
agrees, in the event of an Event of Default,  to pay to the holder of this Note,
on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses  (including legal fees) incurred in
connection with the enforcement and collection of this Note.

<PAGE>
     1. Security Agreement. This Note is entitled to the benefit of that certain
Security  Agreement,  dated as of October 26, 2000 between Payee and the Company
(as amended from time to time hereafter, the "Security Agreement"),  pursuant to
which Payee is granted a first priority  security interest in the Collateral (as
such term is defined in the Security  Agreement).  This Note shall be subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in such Security Agreement.

     2. Conversion into Common Stock.

         A.  Conversion.  Upon the occurrence of a Triggering  Event (as defined
herein), the Principal Amount of this Note shall, at the discretion of Payee, be
converted into such number of shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share,
of the  Company  ("Common  Stock"),  equal to the  Principal  Amount of the Note
divided by the Conversion  Price (as defined below).  Upon the conversion of the
Principal  Amount into Common Stock,  the Company shall deliver to the Payee the
required  Common  Stock and take all action  necessary  to register  such Common
Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as soon as practicable.

         B. Conversion  Price.  The Conversion Price shall be $1.07 per share of
Common  Stock,  which is equal to the closing  price of the Common Stock on June
28, 2001, the last trading day immediately preceding the date of this note.

         C. Triggering  Event. For the purpose of this Note , a Triggering Event
is the occurrence of both of the following  events:  (i) the Company has settled
or resolved  all  litigation  matters  regarding  CRA  Associates,  Inc. and the
shareholder  derivative  litigation  which exists as of the date of this Note as
described in the Company's  10-Q for the quarter  ended  September 30, 2000 (the
"Litigation");  and (ii) the Company has  reported a profit for two  consecutive
quarters at or after the settlement or resolution of the Litigation.

         D. Optional Conversion.  The Note can also be converted pursuant to the
conversion  mechanism set forth in Section 2.A above at any time upon the mutual
agreement of the Company and the Holder.  Furthermore,  the Holder, upon written
notice to the  Company,  can elect to accept  payment of interest on the Note in
the form of Common  Stock.  The  value of such  Common  Stock  issued in lieu of
interest payments shall be based on the average of the closing bid and ask price
of the Common  Stock on the last  trading  day  immediately  preceding  the date
interest is payable.

         E.  Mechanics of  Conversion.  In the event Payee has chosen to convert
the outstanding Principal Amount pursuant to Section 2.D above, Payee shall give
written notice to the Company of its election to effectuate  such  conversion on
the date specified in such notice (such date,  the  "Conversion  Date").  On the
Conversion   Date,  the   outstanding   Principal   Amount  shall  be  converted
automatically  into the Common Stock at the  Conversion  Price  without  further
action by the Payee and  whether  or not this Note has been  surrendered  to the
Company or its transfer  agent,  and Payee shall be deemed to be the shareholder
of record as of the Conversion Date with respect to the Common Stock. Any unpaid
interest will be immediately due and payable. Within fourteen days subsequent to
the  Conversion  Date,  Payee  shall  surrender  this Note to the Company or its
transfer agent,  duly marked  cancelled and, in exchange  therefor,  Payee shall
receive from the Company share  certificates  evidencing the Common Stock in the
name or names in which Payee wishes such  certificate  or  certificates  for the
Common Stock to be issued. If within fourteen days of the Conversion Date, Payee
is unable to deliver  this Note,  Payee shall notify the Company or its transfer
agent that such Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and shall deliver to the
Company a written  acknowledgement that the obligations  evidenced by this Note,
shall have been upon the  Conversion  Date, be deemed fully  satisfied,  and, if
requested  by  the  Company,   Payee  shall  execute  an  agreement   reasonably
satisfactory  to the Company to indemnify  the Company from any loss incurred by
it in connection with inability of Payee to deliver such Note.

<PAGE>
         F. Issue  Taxes.  The  Company  shall pay any and all stamp,  issue and
other  taxes that may be payable in respect of the  issuance  or delivery of the
Common Stock.

         G. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.  The Company shall at
all times reserve and keep available out of its  authorized but unissued  shares
of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note
as  described  in this Section 2, such number of its shares of Common Stock from
time to time issuable upon the conversion  hereof. If at any time such number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect
the conversion of this Note, the Company will take all such corporate  action as
may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock,
to such number of shares as shall be  sufficient  for such  purpose,  including,
without  limitation,   obtaining  the  requisite  stockholder  approval  of  any
necessary amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation.

         H.  Fractional  Shares.  No fractional  shares shall be issued upon the
conversion of this Note into the Common Stock. If the conversion would result in
the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common  Stock,  the Company  shall,  in
lieu of issuing any  fractional  share,  pay Payee who is otherwise  entitled to
such fraction a sum in cash equal to the average of the bid and ask price of the
Common Stock on the last day of trading prior to the Conversion Date.

     3.  Consolidation; Merger; Reclassification.

         A. In case of any  consolidation  with or merger of the Company with or
into  another  corporation  (other than a merger or  consolidation  in which the
Company is the  surviving or  continuing  corporation),  or in case of any sale,
lease, or conveyance to another corporation of substantially all of the property
and assets of any nature of the Company, such successor,  leasing, or purchasing
corporation,  as the case may be,  shall (i)  execute  with  Payee an  agreement
providing that Payee shall have the right  thereafter to receive upon conversion
of this Note solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities,
property,  cash, or any combination  thereof receivable upon such consolidation,
merger, sale, lease, or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock into which this Note might have been converted  immediately  prior to such
consolidation,  merger,  sale,  lease,  or  conveyance;  and (ii) make effective
provision in its certificate of  incorporation  or otherwise,  if necessary,  to
effect such agreement.

         B. In case of any  reclassification  or change of the  shares of Common
Stock issuable upon  conversion of this Note in accordance with Section 2 hereof
(other  than a change  in par  value or from no par  value  to a  specified  par
value),  or in case of any  consolidation or merger of another  corporation into
the  Company in which the  Company is the  continuing  corporation  and in which
there is a  reclassification  or  change  (including  a change  to the  right to
receive cash or other  property) of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of this Note in accordance with Section 2 hereof (other than a change
in par value,  or from no par value to a specified par value),  Payee shall have
the right thereafter to receive upon conversion of this Note solely the kind and
amount  of  shares  of  stock  and  other  securities,  property,  cash,  or any
combination   thereof   receivable   upon   such    reclassification,    change,
consolidation,  or merger by a holder  of the  number of shares of Common  Stock
into  which  this Note  might  have  been  converted  immediately  prior to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, or merger.

         C. The above  provisions  of this  Section 3 shall  similarly  apply to
successive  reclassifications  and  changes  of shares  of  Common  Stock and to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales, leases, or conveyances.
