Press Release: Focal Corporation
September 5, 2001
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Focal Corporation (OTCBB:FCLO) announced yesterday that its parent corporation, United Native
Depository Corporation (UNDC), has entered into an agreement to develop financing the development of Pueblo Real
in Costa Rica and work with Focal Corporation as developer for the full project. Final approval has been granted
by the government of Costa Rica for development of a world-class destination resort community. Located in the mid
Pacific region of Costa Rica, the region boasts one of the premier fishing hotspots in the world, near one of the
most beautiful parks in Costa Rica, Manuel Antonio. Pueblo Real is a proposed 300+ acre resort community comprised
of resort oriented time-share villas, a luxurious resort hotel, a casino, a marina with a water front boardwalk
and commercial village, a championship golf course, and island beach club and marina, and a variety of amenity
oriented residential enclaves.
``The most significant part of this development is that Costa Rican government approved this project to be a destination
resort,'' stated Phyllis Hill, representing Costa Rica's interest in the project. ``Pueblo Real is also located
close to San Jose, the capital city of Costa Rica, making it accessible to shopping, nightlife, and all means of
transportation.'' There are approximately three million tourists visiting Costa Rica each year. ``This project
diversifies Focal into an international business entity that will contribute to the corporation an asset value
of $250 million dollars upon completion,'' stated Deni Leonard, Chairman and President of Focal Corporation.
