| Mike Forrester, Vice President of Marketing & Development, Toronto Symphony Orchestra: |
 |
"It has been my pleasure to work with
Focus Communications over the past year. Originally brought
in to advise the TSO regarding setting up a Chinese marketing
program, it quickly became apparent that Loretta Lam and her
team were the perfect ongoing solution for us, as marketing
and public relations consultants on our fledgling project, and,
in some instances, almost as an agency-of-record, for translation
and creation of materials, media purchasing, and other standard
agency functions. I cannot speak highly enough of the attention
to detail, ability to work within budget, marketing and PR capabilities,
proactivity regarding sourcing and servicing appropriate strategic
partners, and consistency of all Focus personnel in taking things
to the next level. The proof is in the pudding: I've extended
the TSO's contract with Focus for a further three years, and
I expect the next contract will be for an even longer period
of time. Please do not tell any other arts organizations about
Loretta's company."

| TD Bank Financial Group: |
|
"Focus Communications Inc. has been
the Chinese PR Agency for TD Bank Financial Group (formerly
for Canada Trust before the merger) for almost 10 years in Chinese
public relations, media relations, writing and translation of
news releases. We are very satisfied with the service quality
and efficiency provided. Starting from March 2003, Focus also
provides excellent Chinese proofing service to TDFBG Marketing
on collateral and advertisements. Their recommendations are
very sound and in several incidents, even better than the original
translation. In addition, they are well aware of the need to
ensure that the language is well understood by Cantonese and
Mandarin speakers."

"Loretta and her team has been working
with The Hotels since 1994. Besides being a public relations
consultant for Lai Wah Heen in the Chinese market, Loretta and
her team also helped Metropolitan Hotels in mainstream and Chinese
media when it first started its operation. Focus really does
serve as a bridge between the mainstream and Chinese market
and has been very successful in it. Focus also assists us in
building media and community relations through participating
in various events. We look forward to an on-going relationship
with Focus." |

| Dr Brian Leonard, M.D., President, Board of Directors, ORBIS Canada: |

"We are deeply grateful to Loretta for
bringing ORBIS into focus among Chinese Canadians. She has been
a genuine pioneer to connect us to the Chinese community to
start the ORBIS Canada Chinese Advisory Council in 2005. We
feel fortunate to have Loretta's professional work which leads
to huge achievements in publicity and her proven capability
to recruit leaders of the Chinese community to join the Council
resulting in remarkable donations for ORBIS. With different
projects such as the 'Strengthening Eye Care in Rural China',
the Council has surpassed our annual fundraising goals. We eagerly
look forward to working with Loretta and her team at Focus Communications
in the coming years."
