Appendix A - Agreement of Merger............................................A-1 iv SUMMARY OF PROPOSED TRANSACTION Our company, Starfest, Inc., proposes to merge with another company, Concierge, Inc. The merger will occur only if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of each company approve it. A vote to approve or reject the merger will be taken soon at special stockholders' meetings of each company. Starfest recently sold all its assets and today has no business. Concierge was organized in 1996, has not yet received any revenue from its business, and is a development stage company. Starfest's stock has traded on the OTC Bulletin Board since 1996, when it was in the business of producing country-western theme events. Concierge's stock does not trade. Concierge has developed computer software, called the "Personal Communications AttendantTM," that responds to the user's spoken commands to read, verbalize and manage e-mail traffic stored on the user's personal computer. The spoken commands can be made from a remote telephone. Concierge commenced marketing this software in April 2000. Should the stockholders of Starfest and Concierge approve the merger between the two companies, Starfest will be the surviving entity but its business and management will be that of Concierge. Starfest will change its name to "Concierge Technologies, Inc." Should each company approve the merger, each Concierge stockholder will receive 70.444 shares of Starfest common stock for each share owned of Concierge's common stock. This amounts to 96,957,713 shares of Starfest stock and would represent 80.8 percent of the outstanding stock after the merger. The Starfest stockholders will retain their shares of stock in Starfest, without increase or decrease. Their 23,000,000 shares of Starfest common stock will represent 19.2 percent of the outstanding stock after the merger. Starfest's address and telephone number is on the cover page of this Prospectus. The address and telephone number of Concierge is as follows: Concierge, Inc. 6033 West Century Boulevard, Suite 1278 Los Angeles, CA 90045 Telephone 310-216-6334 As of January 14, 2000, the last trading date preceding the public announcement of the proposed merger, the market value of the common stock of Starfest and the book value of the common stock of Concierge were as follows: Starfest Concierge -------- --------- $0.29 ($24,010) (capital deficit) A majority vote of all outstanding shares by each company is required for approval of the proposed merger. The percentage of 1 outstanding shares of each company that its directors, executive officers and their affiliates are entitled to vote are as follows: Starfest Concierge -------- --------- 3.7% 66.5% There are no federal or state regulatory requirements that must be complied with or approval obtained in connection with the proposed merger. Dissenters' rights of appraisal exist for the stockholders of each of the two companies. See "Voting and Management Information - Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal." In our opinion, the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, there are no adverse federal income tax consequences to stockholders of either company should the merger be approved. RISK FACTORS The stockholders of Starfest have little risk in approving the proposed merger. Starfest's business has failed, and it has insufficient assets to commence a new business. A merger with any company with a business - even one, such as Concierge, which is only now bringing its unified messaging product to market, represents an improvement over Starfest's existing state. Accordingly, the following risk factors are primarily directed at the stockholders of Concierge. Nevertheless, should the merger between Starfest and Concierge be approved, the Starfest stockholders will be exposed to many of the risks set forth below. The stockholders of Concierge are making an investment decision that involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors as well as the terms of the merger in determining whether to approve the merger: 1. If You Approve the Merger, You Will Suffer an Immediate 19.2 Percent Dilution in Your Percentage Ownership and Book Value of Concierge. This dilution will be solely for obtaining the possibility, but not the certainty, of obtaining the following benefits: o the common stock of our combined company will trade in the stock market; o you can sell your shares of stock in the stock market, if you wish, or buy more; o our combined company can try to buy other companies with our tradeable stock rather than with money; and 2 o our combined, public company should be better able to raise new capital through the sale of stock than Concierge now can. 2. Concierge Lacks an Operating History. Should Concierge Not Achieve Profitable Operations, Any Perceived Benefits of Being a Public Company May Never Materialize. Concierge has only now commenced operations and has not yet achieved profitable operations. There is no assurance that profitable operations can be obtained or maintained. Should you approve the merger and our combined company continues to operate at a loss, the perceived benefits of the stock market may also be lost. 3. It is Likely That Trading in Our Stock Will be Volatile and Limited. 4. Post-Merger Operations May Require Additional Funds That We Do Not Have. Should the proposed merger be approved, the post-merger company may need additional funding to achieve its plan of operations. If so, we have not identified the source for this funding. We give no assurance that the needed funds can be obtained. 5. Our Success Depends on Our Ability to Retain Allen E. Kahn and Other Key Personnel. Should the merger occur, the post-merger company will be reliant on the continued services of several key personnel. The loss of any of them could adversely affect future operations. These persons are Allen E. Kahn, chief executive officer of Concierge; F. Patrick Flaherty, executive vice president; and Donald V. Fluken, vice president for finance and chief financial officer. 6. Should a Change in Management Seem Necessary, It Will be Difficult for the Non-Management Stockholders to Do This. Should the proposed merger be approved, the company's officers and directors and their affiliates will own approximately 65.9 percent of the common stock of the company. This amount may enable them to determine the outcome of any vote affecting the control of the company. 7. Starfest Will Lose Most of the Income Tax Benefits of Its Net Operating Loss Carryforward. Starfest had a net operating loss carryforward of $2,656,857 at December 31, 1999. This may be used to offset otherwise taxable income for several years in the future. However, under present tax laws if the ownership of more than 50 percent in value of the stock of Starfest changes during a three-year period, this limits severely the amount of taxable income of any "post-change year" that may be offset using "pre-change losses." The merger with Concierge will effect an immediate 80.8 percent change in such ownership and will of itself trigger such a restriction. 3 TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION Starfest and Concierge have entered into an agreement of merger between Starfest and Concierge. For the merger to occur, each of the following must occur: o Registration statements must be filed with and become effective at the Securities and Exchange Commission and appropriate state securities regulatory agencies. This has occurred. The registration statements cover the following: o the 96,957,713 merger shares - the shares Starfest offers to the stockholders of Concierge. o The stockholders of each of Starfest and of Concierge must, by a majority vote of the shares outstanding, approve the merger. Terms of the Merger. ------------------- The terms of the proposed merger are as follows: 1. Concierge shall merge into Starfest. 2. All outstanding shares of common stock of Concierge shall be converted into 96,957,713 shares of common stock of Starfest on a pro-rata basis. 3. There shall be no fractional shares issued. Otherwise fractional shares shall be rounded up or down - .01 to 4.99, down and 5 to 9.9, up. 4. The present business of Concierge shall be conducted after the merger by Starfest, into which Concierge shall have merged. However, Concierge's management and directors shall become the management and directors of the combined company. 5. The articles of incorporation of Starfest will be amended to provide the following: o Its name will be changed to "Concierge Technologies, Inc." o Its authorized capital will be increased from 65 million shares of Common Stock, no par value, to 190 million shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, and 10 million shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value. 6. The Bylaws of the post-merger company will be the Bylaws of Concierge. 7. Should the stockholders of Concierge not approve the merger, neither of Starfest or Concierge shall be liable to the other. 4 Reasons for the Merger. ---------------------- The Starfest stockholders will benefit by becoming, once again, an operating company with a business. Concierge's stockholders will benefit from converting their present stock in a closely-held corporation to stock of a corporation for which there is a public market for their stock. The management of both Starfest and Concierge believe that the existence of such a public market will facilitate the raising of expansion funds for the post-merger company. We give no assurance that such will occur. Effectively, the stockholders of Concierge will suffer a 19.2 percent dilution in their equity in Concierge solely for the perceived, but not assured, benefits of having a public market for their securities. Description of Securities. ------------------------- Common Stock. Starfest is a California corporation, and Concierge is a Nevada corporation. Starfest is authorized to issue 65 million shares of common stock. It has 23 million shares of common stock now issued and outstanding. Concierge is authorized to issue 10 million shares of common stock. It has 1,376,380 shares of its common stock now issued and outstanding. There are no material differences in the common stock of our two companies. Voting rights. Stockholders have one vote a share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. This means that the holders of a majority of the shares voting for the election of the board of directors can elect all members of the board of directors. Dividend rights. Stockholders receive dividends when and if declared by the board of directors out of funds of the corporation legally available therefor. Liquidation rights. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, stockholders receive pro rata all of the assets of the corporation available for distribution to stockholders, subject to the prior satisfaction of the liquidation rights of the holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock. Preemptive rights. Stockholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for or purchase any stock, obligations or other securities of the corporation. Registrar and transfer agent. Nevada Agency and Trust Company, 50 West Liberty Street, Suite 880, Reno, Nevada 89501, is the transfer agent and registrar of the common stock of Starfest. Concierge serves as its own registrar and transfer agent. Dissenters' rights. A stockholder has "dissenters' rights" which, if properly exercised, may require the corporation to repurchase its shares. Dissenters' rights commonly arise in extraordinary transactions such as mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, 5 substantial asset sales, liquidating distributions, and certain amendments to the corporation's certificate of incorporation. Change in Control. There are no provisions in the articles of incorporation or bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of either Starfest or Concierge. Preferred Stock. The post-merger company will be authorized to issue 10 million shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued from time to time by the directors as shares of one or more series. The description of shares of each series of preferred stock, including any preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, and conditions of redemption must be set forth in resolutions adopted by the directors. There are no presently outstanding shares of preferred stock of Starfest. Differences Between Rights of Stockholders of Starfest and of Concierge. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- There are no material differences between the rights of holders of the common stock of Starfest and of Concierge. Accounting Treatment of Proposed Merger. --------------------------------------- The transaction will be accounted for as a recapitalization of Concierge. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transaction. -------------------------------------------------- The Merger. The merger should qualify as a type "A" tax free reorganization for both corporations under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. Stockholders of Concierge. There should be no recognition of taxable gain or loss to the stockholders of Concierge by reason of the merger. Each stockholder of Concierge would have a carryover tax basis and a tacked holding period for the Starfest securities received in the merger. Concierge itself would not recognize any taxable gain or loss, because its liabilities are not in excess of the tax basis of its assets. The above discussion is not based upon an advance ruling by the Treasury Department but upon an opinion of Thomas J. Kenan, esquire, in his capacity as tax counsel to Starfest (which tax opinion is one of the exhibits to the registration statement of which this Prospectus- Proxy Statement is a part). Agreement of Merger. ------------------- The Agreement of Merger between Starfest and Concierge appears herein as "Appendix A - Agreement of Merger." 6 PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION The following sets forth certain pro forma financial information giving effect to the merger: PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION December 31, 1999

Such designee is John Conners. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL Thomas J. Kenan, Esquire, counsel to Starfest, is named in this Prospectus-Proxy Statement as having given an opinion on legal matters concerning the registration or offering of the securities described herein. From February 17, 1999 until April 6, 1999, Mr. Kenan was the sole officer and director of Starfest. Mr. Kenan's spouse, Marilyn C. Kenan, is the trustee and sole beneficiary of the Marilyn C. Kenan Trust, a testamentary trust that presently owns 760,000 shares of common stock of Starfest. Mr. Kenan disclaims any beneficial ownership in the securities beneficially owned by his spouse's trust. Mr. Kenan owns, in his own name, 600,000 shares of common stock of Starfest and 2,840 shares of common stock of Concierge which shares of Concierge he received as compensation for his legal services and counsel in connection with the negotiation and preparation of the agreement of merger, his legal services in the negotiation and drafting of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 6, 2000 with the controlling shareholder of MAS Acquisition XX Corp. and Mr. Kenan's subsequent drafting of a Form 8-K12G3 filed with the Commission on March 10, 2000, his drafting of Starfest's annual Form 10-KSB, and the drafting of the registration statement of which this Prospectus-Proxy Statement is a part. INDEMNIFICATION Under California and Nevada corporation law, a corporation is authorized to indemnify officers, directors, employees and agents who are parties or threatened to be made parties to any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or are or were acting in the same capacity for another entity at the request of the corporation. Such indemnification includes reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement if they acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. With respect to any criminal action or proceeding, these same indemnification authorizations apply if these persons had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In the case of any action by the corporation against such persons, the corporation is authorized to provide similar indemnification, but if any such persons should be adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duties to the corporation, the court 9 conducting the proceeding must determine that such persons are nevertheless fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. To the extent any such persons are successful on the merits in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, California and Nevada law provide that they shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses, including attorney fees. A corporation is authorized to advance anticipated expenses for such suits or proceedings upon an undertaking by the person to whom such advance is made to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Indemnification and payment of expenses provided by California and Nevada law are not deemed exclusive of any other rights by which an officer, director, employee or agent may seek indemnification or payment of expenses or may be entitled to under any by-law, agreement, or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors. In such regard, a California and Nevada corporation may purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. As a result of such corporation law, Starfest or Concierge may, at some future time, be legally obligated to pay judgments (including amounts paid in settlement) and expenses in regard to civil or criminal suits or proceedings brought against one or more of its officers, directors, employees or agents, as such, with respect to matters involving the proposed merger or, should the merger be effected, matters that occurred prior to or after the merger. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS There is no way to predict a price range within which Starfest's common stock would trade after the proposed merger. It presently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board at a price less than $5 a share and is subject to the rules governing "penny stocks." A "penny stock" is any stock that: o sells for less than $5 a share. o is not listed on an exchange or authorized for quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market, and o is not a stock of a "substantial issuer." Starfest is not now a "substantial issuer" and cannot become one until it has net tangible assets of at least $2 million, which it does not now 10 have and will not have solely as a result of the proposed merger with Concierge. There are statutes and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") that impose a strict regimen on brokers that recommend penny stocks. The Penny Stock Suitability Rule -------------------------------- Before a broker-dealer can recommend and sell a penny stock to a new customer who is not an institutional accredited investor, the broker-dealer must obtain from the customer information concerning the person's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Then, the broker-dealer must "reasonably determine" (1) that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the person and (2) that the person, or his advisor, is capable of evaluating the risks in penny stocks. After making this determination, the broker-dealer must furnish the customer with a written statement setting forth the basis for this suitability determination. The customer must sign and date a copy of the written statement and return it to the broker-dealer. Finally the broker-dealer must also obtain from the customer a written agreement to purchase the penny stock, identifying the stock and the number of shares to be purchased. The above exercise delays a proposed transaction. It causes many broker-dealer firms to adopt a policy of not allowing their representatives to recommend penny stocks to their customers. The Penny stock Suitability Rule, described above, and the Penny Stock Disclosure Rule, described below, do not apply to the following: o transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer, o sales to institutional accredited investors, o sales to "established customers" of the broker-dealer persons who either have had an account with the broker-dealer for at least a year or who have effected three purchases of penny stocks with the broker-dealer on three different days involving three different issuers, and o transactions in penny stocks by broker-dealers whose income from penny stock activities does not exceed five percent of their total income during certain defined periods. The Penny Stock Disclosure Rule ------------------------------- Another Commission rule - the Penny stock Disclosure Rule requires a broker-dealer, who recommends the sale of a penny stock to a customer in a transaction not exempt from the suitability rule described above, to furnish the customer with a "risk disclosure document." This document includes a description of the penny stock market and how it 11 functions, its inadequacies and shortcomings, and the risks associated with investments in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the stock's bid and ask price information and the dealer's and salesperson's compensation related to the proposed transaction. Finally, the customer must be furnished with a monthly statement including prescribed information relating to market and price information concerning the penny stocks held in the customer's account. Effects of the Rule ------------------- The above penny stock regulatory scheme is a response by the Congress and the Commission to known abuses in the telemarketing of low-priced securities by "boiler shop" operators. The scheme imposes market impediments on the sale and trading of penny stocks. It has a limiting effect on a stockholder's ability to resell a penny stock. Starfest's merger shares likely will trade below $5 a share on the OTC Bulletin Board and be, for some time at least, shares of a "penny stock" subject to the trading market impediments described above. INFORMATION ABOUT STARFEST, INC. Business Development Starfest, Inc. was incorporated in California on August 18, 1993 as "Fanfest, Inc." On August 29, 1995 its name was changed to Starfest, Inc. Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated March 6, 2000 between (1) MAS Capital, Inc., an Indiana corporation, the controlling shareholder of MAS Acquisition XX Corp. ("MAS XX"), an Indiana corporation, and (2) Starfest, approximately 96.83 percent (8,250,000 shares) of the outstanding shares of common stock of MAS Acquisition XX Corp. were exchanged for $100,000 and 150,000 shares of common stock of Starfest in a transaction in which Starfest became the parent corporation of MAS XX. Upon execution of the Purchase Agreement and the subsequent delivery of $100,000 cash and 150,000 shares of common stock of Starfest on March 7, 2000, to MAS Capital Inc., pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) of the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Starfest became the successor issuer to MAS Acquisition XX Corp. for reporting purposes under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and elected to report under the Act effective March 7, 2000. Business of Starfest. -------------------- Starfest's initial business was the production and promotion of theme events involving numerous artists and performers and designed to attract mass audiences of fans drawn by the theme. In 1994 and 1995 it produced "Fanfest," which was held at the Fairplex at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds, and which won the Airplay International Award as the "Country Music Event of the Year." In 1995 the event won the Country Music Associations of America's award as the "Best Country Event of the 12 Year." In 1996 the event was renamed "Starfest" and was again held in Los Angeles. The events all lost money. In 1997 the event was planned but was cancelled before being held. The company was essentially dormant in 1998 with its activities being limited to dealing with creditors and to attempting to raise capital for the resumption of business. In 1999 Starfest turned control of the company over to individuals involved in the adult Internet entertainment business. Under this new direction the company bought three websites found on the Internet through www.starfest.com ---------------- with the front-page title of adultstars.com. Starfest also purchased and paid for twelve websites on the Internet, but the written transfer of the websites was never obtained, and the right to obtain the transfer of those websites has been sold and transferred to unrelated third parties. Stockholders owning a majority of the outstanding stock of Starfest regained control of the management of the company and, on December 31, 1999, pursuant to the written consent of persons holding a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the company, Starfest sold all the remaining assets of the company associated with the adult entertainment business for $10,000 and applied this and its other cash assets to the payment of outstanding liabilities. On January 18, 2000, Starfest and Concierge executed a letter of intent to submit to their stockholders a proposal to merge. The agreement of merger was executed on January 26, 2000. Starfest will be the surviving corporation of the merger, but the business and management of the merged companies will be that of Concierge. Pending approval of the merger, Starfest has no business. Starfest has no employees. Starfest's present management consists of two persons, Michael Huemmer, president, and Janet Alexander, secretary. Description of Property. ----------------------- Starfest has no property. Legal Proceedings. ----------------- Neither Starfest nor its property is a party to, or the subject of, pending legal proceedings. Starfest is aware of no proceeding that a governmental authority is contemplating. Market for Starfest's Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Starfest's Common Stock presently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. The high and low bid and asked prices, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, are as follows for 1998 and 1999 and the first quarter of 2000. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions. 13

Rule 144 and Rule 145 Restrictions on Trading. --------------------------------------------- Should the merger be approved and effected, all shares of common stock of the post-merger company issued in the merger to the stockholders of Concierge shall have been issued pursuant to registration with the Commission. Nevertheless, there will be certain restrictions on the transfer for value of some of the shares. Securities and Exchange Commission rules define as "affiliates" a corporation's executive officers, directors and other persons who, by any manner, exercise control over the corporation's direction and policies. The affiliates of Concierge at the time of the vote on the merger, in order to sell their shares received in the merger, must either register them for sale or comply with the resale provisions set forth in paragraph (d) of the Commission's Rule 145, unless some other exemption-from-registration provision is available. The resale provisions of paragraph (d) of Rule 145 refer to certain provisions of the Commission's Rule 144 and require, for sales of the shares by such affiliates, that: o the company must have been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act for at least 90 days (which is the case, here), o the company must have filed all reports with the Commission required by such rule during the twelve months preceding such sale (or such shorter period that the company was required to file such reports), o transfers for value by such affiliates can occur only either (1) through broker transactions not involving the solicitation of buyers or (2) directly to market-makers, and o each such affiliate can transfer for value, during a 90- day period, no more shares than the greater of one percent of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the company (105.8 million shares immediately after the merger) or the average weekly volume of trading 14 in such common stock reported through the automated quotation system of Nasdaq or the Bulletin Board during the four calendar weeks prior to placing the sell order with a broker-dealer. The above resale provisions of Rule 145 shall continue for such affiliates for one year after the merger. Then, only the company's reporting requirement shall continue. When any such affiliate has ceased to be an affiliate of the post-merger company for at least three months, and provided at least two years have elapsed since the date of the merger, then even the requirement that the company file reports with the Commission will no longer be required for such a former affiliate to sell any of the shares acquired in the merger. We at Starfest believe that 3.5 million shares of the presently outstanding 23 million shares of Starfest will be subject to restrictions on trading or transfers for value after the merger. We also believe that of the 96,957,713 shares of Starfest to be distributed in the merger to Concierge stockholders, only the 64,437,240 shares to be distributed to Concierge' officers, directors and affiliates will be subject to any restrictions on transfer. Accordingly, after the effective date of the merger, there shall be 55,520,473 shares in the "public float," i.e., subject to no securities law restrictions on their being traded or transferred for value. We estimate that approximately 140 persons will own these shares of record. The offering of them for sale could have a materially adverse effect on the market price of the company's stock. Further, the affiliates of Concierge will hold 64,437,240 shares and will be able to sell these shares pursuant to Rule 144 and Rule 145 of the Securities Act. No equity of Starfest is subject to outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, equity of the company. Dividends. Starfest has had no operations or earnings and has declared no dividends on our capital stock. Should you approve the merger, there are no restrictions that would, or are likely to, limit the ability of Starfest to pay dividends on its common stock, but it has no plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future and intends to use earnings for business expansion purposes. Reports to Stockholders. Starfest is required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These reports are annual 10- KSB, quarterly 10-QSB and periodic 8-K reports. Starfest will furnish stockholders with annual reports containing financial statements audited by independent public or certified accountants and such other periodic reports as we may deem appropriate or as required by law. Registration Statement. Starfest has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in Washington, D.C., a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, with respect to the common stock offered by this Prospectus-Proxy Statement. The public may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the Public Reference Room of the SEC at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Starfest is an electronic 15 filer, and the SEC maintains an Internet Web site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The address of such site is http://www.sec.gov. Stock Certificates. Certificates for the securities offered hereby will be ready for delivery within one week after you approve the merger. Financial Statements. -------------------- See "Financial Statements - Starfest, Inc." for the independent auditor's report dated February 9, 2000, with respect to Starfest's balance sheet as of December 31, 1999, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the notes to such financial statements. Management's Plan of Operation. ------------------------------ Should the stockholders of the two companies not approve the merger, Starfest will seek another partner. Its sole "asset" is its status as a public company whose stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclosures. ----------- On March 8, 2000 Starfest's principal independent accountant, Jaak (Jack) Olesk, Beverly Hills, California, resigned. His reports on the Company's financial statements from inception onward contained no adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinions and were not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There were no disagreements with Jaak (Jack) Olesk, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Jaak (Jack) Olesk's satisfaction, would have caused him to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with his reports. The registrant has not yet engaged a new independent accountant or principal accountant to audit its financial statements. INFORMATION ABOUT CONCIERGE, INC. Overview Concierge was incorporated on September 20, 1996, in the State of Nevada. Its principal office is at 6033 West Century Boulevard, Suite 1278, Los Angeles, California 90045. Its telephone number is 310- 216-6334. 16 Concierge's Plan of Operation ----------------------------- Concierge has developed a "unified messaging" product - the Personal Communications Attendant ("PCA"). It commenced marketing this product in April 2000. Description of the PCATM. Concierge's PCATM provides a means by which any user of Internet e-mail can have e-mail messages spoken to him or her over any touch-tone telephone or wireless phone in the world. The PCATM responds to the user's voice commands to read, verbalize and manage e-mail traffic stored on a personal computer. The PCATM is "trained" to respond only to the voice commands and personal voice password of the individual user, thus guaranteeing that each user's personal messages cannot be accessed by anyone else. Responding to spoken instructions, the PCATM can verbalize e-mail (with future fax and voice-mail capabilities) over the phone and save or delete those messages as directed by the user. The Market. As of early 1999, we estimate there were over 250 million e-mail users worldwide, a number which is growing rapidly. As to the domestic market, last year there were more than 40 million e-mail users in the U.S. churning out more than 150 million messages a day. By 2003 that could reach more than 200 million users, creating 7 billion messages a day. A substantial majority of this group are potential users of Concierge's current products and products planned for future release. Distribution Methods. Concierge plans an aggressive, direct-mail and Internet-marketing campaign to introduce and promote the PCATM. Production Costs. The PCATM will be manufactured and produced for Concierge by Xetel Corp. A service order fulfillment contract is being negotiated at this time with an unaffiliated third party corporation. Emerald Solutions, Inc. will provide project management, software and program design and program coding services to implement products designed by Concierge. The e-mail version will retail at $39.95. With a $19.95 upgrade, the pro version monitors and collects fax, voice mail and e-mail messages. There will be no monthly service fee. No device other than an ordinary telephone is needed to access the PCA(TM). The PCATM also includes an auto pager that notifies the user by phone or pager when new e-mail is received. Considering direct product costs including royalties, Concierge projects a gross profit margin of approximately 80 to 90 percent of direct sales. Concierge intends to "nationalize" the product to accommodate several foreign languages, possibly including Japanese, Korean, German, Latin American Spanish, French and Brazilian Portuguese. Governmental Approval of Principal Products. No governmental approval is required in the U.S. for Concierge's products. 17 Government Regulations. There are no governmental regulations in the U.S. that apply to Concierge's products. Properties. Concierge subleases approximately 150 square feet of office space at Suite 1278, 6033 West Century Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90045. The space is deemed adequate for the present time, but additional space will be needed commencing in April 2000. Concierge has not yet identified the additional space it will lease, but ample space is available in the vicinity of its present space and elsewhere in the Los Angeles area. Dependence on Major Customers and Suppliers. Concierge does not anticipate that it will be dependent on any major customers or suppliers. Seasonality. There should be no seasonal aspect to Concierge's business other than possible increased sales anticipated in the fourth calendar quarter associated with the year-end holidays. Research and Development. Concierge expended approximately $188,663 on research and development in 1998 and $50,431 in 1999. It anticipates that it will expend approximately $150,000 on research and development in 2000 and approximately $200,000 in 2001. Environmental Controls. Concierge is subject to no environmental controls or restrictions that require the outlay of capital or the obtaining of a permit in order to engage in business operations. Year 2000 Computer Problem. Concierge has determined that it does not face material costs, problems or uncertainties about the year 2000 computer problem. This problem stems from the fact that many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year in the date field and do not consider the impact of the year 2000. Concierge presently uses off-the-shelf and easily replaceable software programs and has determined that all software is year 2000 compliant. Number of Employees. On March 1, 2000 Concierge employed two persons full time and two persons part time. Venue of Sales. Concierge anticipates that some of its initial sales will be attributable to exports to English-speaking countries. Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Intellectual Property. Concierge has trademarked its Personal Communications Attendant. It has no patents on the product; the underlying technology is the subject of patents, and Concierge is required to pay royalties of $0.85 a PCATM unit to Lexicus, a subsidiary of Motorola, and $1.00 a unit to Fonix. Legal Proceedings. Neither Concierge nor any of its property is a party to, or the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings other than ordinary, routine litigation incidental to its business. 18 Concierge Management's Plan of Operation ---------------------------------------- Concierge commenced marketing its Personal Communications Attendant on April 7, 2000. Concierge's management proposes to devote the company's cash assets and the time and efforts of its officers and staff for the next twelve months to the promotion, sale and continued improvement of its Personal Communications Attendant. Liquidity. As of April 15, 2000, Concierge had cash assets of approximately $550,000 acquired through the sale of its common stock in an offering exempt from registration pursuant to the provisions of the Commission's Regulation D, Rule 506. Concierge expects to improve its liquidity through sales of its PCATM and that it will not have to raise additional funds in the next twelve months. Should the need arise during the next twelve months for additional capital, Concierge believes that several of its existing shareholders will provide equity capital to meet this need. Product Research and Development. Concierge will perform product research and development during the next twelve months. A single user version of the PCATM was introduced in April 2000. Concierge is developing and will soon offer server versions for Windows NT and Windows 2000. Later in 2000 Concierge expects to develop and offer server versions to the Unix and the Linux operating systems. Concierge will also perform product development work on adding several foreign languages to its present, English-language models. Other Expected Developments. Concierge does not expect to purchase any plant or significant equipment. It outsources the development of its products, through the collaboration of its president, Allen Kahn, and outside providers. Concierge does expect to increase the number of its employees during the next twelve months by adding approximately three employees, which would include administrative and executive personnel. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. -------------------------------------------------------- Market Information. There is no established public trading market for Concierge's common stock. None of its authorized shares of common stock are subject to outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, common stock. Concierge's outstanding 1,376,380 shares of common stock will be converted to 96,957,713 shares of common stock of Starfest on the basis of 70.444 shares to Starfest common stock to be exchanged for each share of Concierge common stock. All 96,957,713 shares will be eligible for sale, but the 64,437,240 shares to be distributed to Concierge's officers and directors will be subject to the resale provisions of paragraph (d) of Rule 145 discussed above under "Information About Starfest - Rule 144 and Rule 145 Restrictions on trading." Holders. There are 97 holders of record of Concierge's common stock. 19 Dividends. Concierge has declared no cash dividends on its common stock since its inception. There are no restrictions that limit Concierge's ability to pay dividends on its common stock or that are likely to do so in the future. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclosures. ----------- During the last two fiscal years and the period since June 30, 1999, there have been no changes in Concierge's principal independent accountant. Financial Statements. -------------------- See "Financial Statements - Concierge, Inc." for the independent auditor's report dated March 17, 2000 with respect to Concierge's balance sheet as of June 30, 1999 and the related statements of operations and deficit accumulated, changes in shareholders' deficit and cash flows for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, and the notes to such financial statements.

Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal. ------------------------------- Stockholders of Starfest and of Concierge who do not vote for or consent in writing to the proposed merger, and who continuously hold their shares through the effective date of the merger (should it be effected), are entitled to exercise dissenters' rights of appraisal. Generally, any stockholder of either Starfest or Concierge is entitled to dissent from consummation of the plan of merger and to obtain payment of the fair value of his shares should the merger be consummated. The notices of the special meetings of stockholders of Starfest and of Concierge, at which the votes shall be taken whether to approve the proposed merger, must state that all stockholders are entitled to assert dissenters' rights. The notices must be accompanied by a copy of the relevant portions of California corporation law for the stockholders of Starfest and of Nevada corporation law for the stockholders of Concierge, describing dissenters' rights, the procedure for exercise of dissenters' rights, and the procedure for judicial appraisal of the value of the shares of common stock of Starfest or Concierge, as the case may be, should a dissenter and his or her corporation not agree on the value of such shares. All stockholders of Starfest or Concierge who desire to consider whether their dissenters' rights should be exercised should carefully 22 read the relevant portions of the California corporation law or the Nevada corporation law that will accompany the notice of the special meeting of stockholders. You should especially be alert to the requirement that if you wish to assert your dissenters' rights, you must deliver to the corporation, before the vote is taken, written notice of your intent to demand payment for your shares if the merger is approved. You must not vote your shares in favor of, or consent in writing to, the merger, although you will not lose your dissenter's rights by failing to vote. Other procedures are required and will be described in detail in the copy of state corporation law that describe dissenters' rights. A mere vote against the merger does not satisfy the requirement of delivering written notice before the meeting of your intent to demand payment for your shares if the proposed merger is effectuated. Persons Making the Solicitation. ------------------------------- Members of management of each of Starfest and of Concierge will solicit proxies for that entity. MANAGEMENT OF EACH COMPANY RECOMMENDS THAT THE PROPOSED MERGER BE APPROVED. They will solicit proxies by the mails, by telephone, or by personal solicitation.

I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Starfest, Inc. as of December 31, 1999, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits. I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Starfest, Inc. as of December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring significant losses from operations that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Jaak Olesk ---------------------------------- Beverly Hills, California February 9, 2000 F-1 STARFEST, INC.

See accompanying notes to financial statements. F-5 STARFEST, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1999 NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations Starfest, Inc. (the "Company"), a California corporation, was incorporated on August 18, 1993 as Fanfest, Inc.. In August, 1995 the Company changed its name to Starfest, Inc.. During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company was inactive, just having minimal administrative expenses. During the year ended December 31, 1999 the Company attempted to pursue operations in the online adult entertainment field. However, the Company was not successful in this pursuit. Cash equivalents Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market accounts and in investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 1999. Loss per share The computation of loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Fully diluted calculations are not presented since the Company only had losses for all periods presented (thus antidilutive). Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Issuance of Shares for Services Valuation of shares for services is based on the estimated fair market value of the services performed. Income taxes The Company records its income tax provision in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". (See Note 3). F-6 STARFEST, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1999 NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(continued) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Pursuant to SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet at December 31, 1999. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the consolidated financial statements to approximate their expected realization and interest rates, which approximate current market rates. During the periods presented and at December 31, 1999 the Company had no financial instruments. Comprehensive Income (Loss) In fiscal 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes standards for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 required no additional disclosure for the Company and did not have any effect on the Company's financial position, as there was no difference between comprehensive loss and the net loss as reported. Segment Disclosures In Fiscal 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. This Statement establishes standards for the way companies report information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 required no additional disclosure for the Company as the Company operated in one principal business segment. Reclassifications Certain items in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with 1999 classifications. NOTE 2 - Basis of presentation and considerations related to continued existence (going concern) The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $518,606 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company incurred a net loss of $2,366 for the year ended December 31, 1998. F-7 STARFEST, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1999 NOTE 2 - Basis of presentation and considerations related to continued existence (going concern) (continued) These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's management intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt offerings. However, there can be no assurance management will be successful in this endeavor. NOTE 3 - Income Taxes The Company records its income tax provision in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Since the Company did not have taxable income during the periods presented, no provision for income taxes has been provided. At December 31, 1999, the Company did not have any significant tax net operating loss carryforwards (tax benefits resulting from losses for tax purposes have been fully reserved due to the uncertainty of a going concern). At December 31, 1999, the Company did not have any significant deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets. NOTE 4 - Subsequent Events On January 18, 2000 the Company issued 1,302,001 of its common shares, for January, 2000 services, to three shareholders. In January and February, 2000 the Company was in negotiations regarding possibly entering into a business combination with Concierge, Inc., a development stage software developer.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ------------------------------------------ (a) Starfest, Inc. (the Company), a California corporation, was incorporated on August 18, 1993 as Fanfest, Inc. In August, 1995 the Company changed its name to Starfest, Inc. During 1998, the Company was inactive, just having minimal administrative expenses. During 1999 the Company attempted to pursue operations in the online adult entertainment field. There were no revenues from this endeavor. The Company is negotiating an agreement with a copy (see Note 3). The purpose of the merger is to effect an online communication retrieval system such as e-mail via the telephone. (b) Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market accounts and in investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. There were no cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999. (c) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (d) Issuance of Shares for Services Valuation of shares for services is based on the estimate fair market value of the services performed. (e) Income Taxes The Company's uses the liability method of accounting for income tax specified by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", whereby deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized and measured based on the likelihood of realization of the related tax benefit in the future. The Company had no material net deferred tax assets or liabilities at March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999. F-13 Starfest, Inc. Notes To Financial Statements March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 (f) Loss Per Share In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share." The statement replaced primary EPS with basic EPS which is computed by dividing reported earnings available to common shareholders by weighted average shares outstanding. The provision requires the calculation of diluted EPS. The company uses the method specified by the statement. 2. ADVERTISING ----------- Advertising is expensed as incurred. 3. MERGER NEGOTIATIONS ------------------- On January 26, 2000 the Company entered into an agreement of merger with Concierge, Inc., a Nevada corporation, pursuant to which, should the merger be approved by the shareholders of both companies, the presently outstanding 1,376,380 shares of common stock of Concierge, Inc. will be converted into shares of common stock of the Company on the basis of 70,444 shares of Starfest, Inc. to be issued for each share of Concierge, Inc. The Company is registering 96,957,713 shares of its common stock on a Form S-4 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to be available should the merger be approved. 4. RELATED PARTY NOTES PAYABLE --------------------------- Payable to shareholders is non-interest bearing, unsecured with no specified due date. 5. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES --------------------------- At the end of the first quarter (March 31, 2000) the Company incurred an operating loss of (3,224). If management will be unable to generate revenue or secure adequate financing to do its current business operational plan, there will be substantial doubt of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company, however, believes that its current financing and reorganization plan will generate the resources required to continue and sustain its operation indefinitely. F-14 BRAD B. HAYNES 9005 Burton Way Certified Public Accountant Los Angeles, California 90048 Tel (310) 273-7417 Fax (310) 285-0865 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ---------------------------- To the Shareholders and Board of Directors Concierge, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) Los Angeles, California We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Concierge, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of June 30, 1999 and the related Statements of Operations and Deficit Accumulated, Cash Flows and Changes in Shareholders' Deficit for the years ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998 as well as for the period from September 20, 1996 (inception) to June 30, 1999. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall Financial Statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the Financial Statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Concierge, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, and the results of its operations, its cash flows and its changes in shareholders' equity (deficit) for the years then ended and the period from inception until June 30, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Companies will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6, the Company has suffered a current loss from operations and has a capital deficiency to pursue its projected operation that raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Brad B.

(c) Issuance of Shares for Service ------------------------------ Valuation of shares for shervices is based on the estimated fair market value of the services performed. (d) Income Taxes ------------ The Company's uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes specified by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", whereby deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized and measured based on the likelihood of realization of the related tax benefit in the future. The Company had no material net deferred tax assets or liabilities at March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999. F-27 CONCIERGE, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- March 31, 2000 -------------- (Unaudited) (e) Property and Equipment ---------------------- Depreciation for equipment and vehicles are computed using the straight-line method calculated to depreciate the cost of assets over the estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the original lease. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense while costs of significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. (f) Loss Per Share -------------- In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share." The statement replaced primary EPS with basic EPS which is computed by dividing reported earnings available to common shareholders by weighted average shares outstanding. The provision requires the calculation of diluted EPS. The company uses the method specified by the statement. 3. ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL -------------------------- The Company has entered into subscription agreements to issue "post acquisition" shares in exchange for case to finance continued product development and other operational costs. During March, 2000, the Company received $956,500 based on these agreements. The Company's only obligation is to issue either "post acquisition" shares, or original Company shares using a procedure agreed to by both share subscribers and the Company, in the event the acquisition is not successfully completed. As part of securing this financing, the Company incurred associated costs of $273,999. Since the issuance of specific shares are contingent upon future events, the proceeds have been recorded as additional paid-in capital, net of the costs of securing the financing. 4. ADVERTISING ----------- Advertising is expensed as incurred. 5. LEASE AGREEMENT --------------- The Company is on a month-to-month tenant occupancy. 6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK ---------------------------- The Company maintains all cash in bank deposit accounts, what at times may exceed federally insured limits.

UNDERTAKINGS Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("the Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Starfest, Inc. pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Starfest, Inc. has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
