Focus Affiliates, Inc.
 PROFILE
Focus Affiliates is calling for investors. The wholesale distributor of wireless phones and accessories resulted from Intellicell's acquisition of Cellular Wholesalers. However, the purchase left the company -- which does business as FocusWireless.com -- heavy with debt. Focus is restructuring as an online distributor of wireless products made by Motorola, Nokia, and others, and has acquired Internet auction site SourceWireless.com. US customers account for more than 90% of sales. Intellicell founder Ben Neman owns about 12% of Focus Affiliates. Paul Skjodt, investor and former professional hockey player, owns 10%.
