DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS 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 MAS Capital, Inc., an Indiana corporation, the controlling shareholder of MAS Acquisition XX Corp. ("MAS XX"), an Indiana corporation, and 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. At the time of this transaction, the market price of Starfest's common stock was $1.50 bid at closing on March 7, 2000 on the OTC Bulletin Board. Accordingly, the consideration Starfest paid for the 96.83 percent interest was valued at $325,000. Concierge loaned to Starfest the $100,000 cash portion of the consideration evidenced by a no-interest, demand note. Michael Huemmer, the president of Starfest, loaned to Starfest the 150,000 shares of common stock of Starfest that was the stock portion of the consideration. 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. MAS XX had no business, no assets, and no liabilities at the time of the transaction. Starfest entered into the transaction solely for the purpose of becoming the successor issuer to MAS Acquisition XX Corp. for reporting purposes under the 1934 Exchange Act. Prior to this transaction, Starfest was preparing to register its common stock with the Commission in order to avoid being delisted by the OTC Bulletin Board. By engaging in the Rule 12g-3(a) transaction, Starfest avoided the possibility that its planned registration statement with the Commission would not be fully reviewed by the Commission's staff before an April 2000 deadline, which would result in Starfest's common stock being delisted on the OTC Bulletin Board. 1 A change in control of Starfest could occur in the future, should the shareholders of Starfest and Concierge, Inc., a Nevada corporation, approve an agreement of merger entered into between Starfest and Concierge on January 26, 2000. The proposed merger will be submitted to the shareholders of each of Starfest and Concierge pursuant to a Form S-4 Prospectus-Proxy Statement to be filed with the Commission as soon as the necessary audited financial statements of Concierge are prepared. It is expected that these financial statements will be available within 30 days. Pursuant to the agreement of merger between Starfest and Concierge, * Starfest will be the surviving corporation, * The shareholders of Concierge will receive pro rata for their shares of common stock of Concierge, 99,957,713 shares of common stock of Starfest in the merger, and all shares of capital stock of Concierge will be cancelled, * The officers and directors of Concierge will become the officers and directors of Starfest, and * The name of Starfest will be changed to "Concierge Technologies, Inc." 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 Year." The two events lost money, however. By the end of 1995, Starfest had a retained deficit of $1,228,703. In 1996 the event was renamed "Starfest" and was again held in Los Angeles. In 1997 the event was planned but was cancelled before being held. At the end of 1997, Starfest had no business and a retained deficit of $2,135,885. The company was essentially dormant in 1998, losing only $2,366 for the year, with its activities being limited to dealing with creditors and to attempting to raise capital for the resumption of business. In 1999, with no business, Starfest turned the management of the company over to three individuals involved in the adult entertainment business - Billy 2 Harbour, John Whitley and Pamela Miller of southwestern Virginia. Under this new direction the company bought three websites on the Internet - www.starfest.com, www.adultstar.com and www.adultstars.com. Starfest also purchased and paid $12,000 for twelve additional 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 by obtaining the resignations of directors associated with the Virginia management and having the remaining directors elect Michael Huemmer as president and Janet Alexander as secretary of the company. 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. The assets consisted of the three adult entertainment websites and the right to obtain the additional twelve websites. Starfest applied this and its other cash assets to the payment of outstanding liabilities. Starfest suffered a loss of $518,606 for the year of 1999. 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. Plan of Operation ----------------- Starfest's sole plan of operation at present is to progress toward a closing of the proposed merger with Concierge. Should the merger be consummated, the company's plan of operation for the next twelve months shall then be the plan of operation that Concierge's management has for its company. Until the merger should be consummated or abandoned, Starfest has no paid employees. Its officers and directors are contributing their time without compensation. Should the merger with Concierge not be consummated, Starfest's management will seek another merger partner. Starfest has sufficient cash to meet any anticipated cash requirements that will arise before the merger with Concierge is consummated. Should the merger with Concierge not be consummated, 3 Starfest will likely find it necessary to raise additional funds in connection with any other merger it might negotiate with another merger partner. It would propose to require the other party to the merger to provide such funds. Number of Employees On December 31, 1999, Starfest employed one person full time and no persons part time. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Starfest owns no plants, real property or personal property. Facilities Starfest's office facilities are in the home of its president, Michael Huemmer, in Scottsdale, Arizona, and are provided rent free. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Neither Starfest nor any of its property is the subject of any pending legal proceedings or any proceeding of which Starfest is aware that a governmental authority is contemplating. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1999. ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY 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 three quarters of 2000. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

Holders There are approximately 96 holders of record of Starfest's common stock. Rule 144 and Rule 145 Restrictions on Trading. --------------------------------------------- Should the merger with Concierge 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 the shares received in the merger by the affiliates of Concierge, who may be deemed to be underwriters. 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 resale 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: * the company must have been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act for at least 90 days (which is the case, here), * 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), 5 * 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 * 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 (119,957,713 shares immediately after the merger) or the average weekly volume of trading 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. The following table allocates the post-merger company's common stock between restricted and non-restricted stock for Concierge's and Starfest's affiliates at the time of the merger: No. of Shares Restricted Percent of by Rules Post-Merger Company No. of Shares Total Issued 144 and 145 ------------------- ------------- ------------ ------------- Authorized shares 190,000,000 - - Issued and outstanding shares 119,957,713 100.0 65,297,240 ----------- ----- ----------- Issued and outstanding shares to be Rule 145: controlled by Concierge's affiliates 64,437,240 53.7 64,437,240 Issued and outstanding shares to be Rule 144: controlled by Starfest's affiliates 860,000 0.7 860,000 Pre-merger restricted shares of Starfest issued during 2000 to Rule 144: persons other than its affiliates 1,402,001 1.2 1,402,001 Shares in the "public float," subject to no restrictions on trading 53,258,472 44.4 - ----------- ----- ----------- 119,957,713 100.0 65,297,240 6 The 860,000 shares controlled by Starfest's affiliates were issued in 2000 and will continue to be "restricted" shares until they have been held for two years. The same is true of the 542,001 other shares of Starfest issued in 2000. After such shares have been held for one year, they may be sold pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144, the principal ones of which are set forth above on page 27 as "bullet points" in the second paragraph of this heading. 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 earnings and has declared no dividends on our capital stock. Concierge has never earned a profit and may not do so in the future. Under California law, a company - such as our post-merger company - can pay dividends only * from retained earnings, or * if after the dividend is made, * its tangible assets would equal at least 11/4 times its liabilities, and * its current assets would at least equal its current liabilities, or * if the average of its earnings before income taxes and before interest expenses for the last two years was less than the average of its interest expenses for the last two years, then its current assets must be equal to at least 11/4 times its current liabilities. The post-merger directors' strategy on dividends is to declare and pay dividends only from retained earnings and when the directors deem it prudent and in the best interests of the company to declare and pay dividends. Penny Stock Regulations Starfest's common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board at a price less than $5 a share and is subject to the rules governing "penny stocks." 7 A "penny stock" is any stock that: * sells for less than $5 a share. * is not listed on an exchange or authorized for quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market, and * 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 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: * transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer, * sales to institutional accredited investors, * transactions in which the customer is a director, officer, general partner, or direct or indirect beneficial owner of more than 5 percent of any class of equity security of the issuer of the penny stock that is the subject of the transaction, and * 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 is set forth in a federal regulation and contains the following information: * A statement that penny stocks can be very risky, that investors often cannot sell a penny stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock, * A warning that salespersons of penny stocks are not impartial advisers but are paid to sell the stock, * The statement that federal law requires the salesperson to tell the potential investor in a penny stock - * the "offer" and the "bid" on the stock, and * the compensation the salesperson and his firm will receive for the trade, * An explanation that the offer price and the bid price are the wholesale prices at which dealers are willing to sell and buy the stock from other dealers, and that in its trade with a customer the dealer may add a retail charge to these wholesale prices, * A warning that a large spread between the bid and the offer price can make the resale of the stock very costly, * Telephone numbers a person can call if he or she is a victim of fraud, * Admonitions - * to use caution when investing in penny stocks, * to understand the risky nature of penny stocks, 9 * to know the brokerage firm and the salespeople with whom one is dealing, and * to be cautious if ones salesperson leaves the firm. 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. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities Starfest sold shares of its common stock within the past three years without registering the shares under the Securities Act of 1933:

Description of Business," on January 26, 2000, Starfest and Concierge, Inc. entered into an agreement of merger that will be submitted to the shareholders of each corporation for their approval or rejection. The submittal will be pursuant to a Form S-4 Prospectus-Proxy Statement to be filed with the Commission during April 2000. Should the proposed merger be approved by the shareholders of both corporations, the business of Concierge will be the business of Starfest. Should the proposed merger be effected, Starfest's management has been advised by the management of Concierge that Concierge's present and proposed business is as follows: 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. 11 Concierge's Plan of Operation ----------------------------- Concierge has developed a "unified messaging" product - the Personal Communications Attendant ("PCATM"). Concierge commenced marketing the PCATM in September 2000. It had expected to bring the PCATM to market in early April, announced this expectation in an interview on a television program and set up a toll-free line with contract personnel available to take telephone orders. Approximately 50 orders were received. Unfortunately, Concierge's initial marketing effort was precipitous. The company Concierge had hired to write the programming code to implement Concierge's design, technical specifications and program logic did not timely meet its contractual commitments. The product was not ready. The initial marketing effort was terminated. On May 12, 2000 the responsibility for writing the programming code was reassigned to Dave Cook Consulting of Mercer Island, Washington. That company's work was overseen by Concierge. Detailed technical development of the initial PCATM product, packaging design, documentation, field testing and attendant tasks were completed, and the PCATM is now available for direct purchase online at www.pcahome.com. Limited shipments began in September 2000. Advertising and marketing campaigns were held in abeyance until technical problems in automatic credit card verification and funds transfer could be addressed. These problems are believed to have been resolved. Extensive system testing and certification are currently underway. Testing is expected to be completed by late October, at which time full direct marketing efforts are planned to commence together with shipments to fill any orders. Concierge is also involved in negotiations with several reseller, merchandising and manufacture representative organizations, which negotiations it hopes will culminate in agreements leading to sales of the PCATM. 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. 12 The PCATM software executes on a personal computer operating under Windows 95 or Windows 98 and using Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express as an e-mail client. It requires 350 megabytes of available hard disk space. The Internet connection may be effected by any standard means, including dial-up or dedicated telephone line, cable or DSL, but voice interaction between the user and the PCATM software requires a dial-up phone line and a voice-capable modem. Generally, although not invariably, many available 56 KB modems are voice-capable. The initial product being offered for sale is a stand-alone, single-user version and is not designed to function in a LAN or WAN environment. There are no set-up costs associated with the product other than assuring that the minimum hardware and software requirements are present. The initial product can verbalize only a user's e-mail. It is, however, implemented with "hooks" for the addition of fax and voice-mail modules. "Hooks" means that the programs have been written to facilitate the future inclusion of additional features such as fax and voice-mail capabilities. The date of availability of these features will depend upon decisions still to be made by Concierge management regarding the assignment of priorities to product introduction. Among future products planned are the "Pro" version, which will enable the user to access by telephone the user's fax and voice-mail messages; a multi-user, server-based version for corporate/enterprise users; and various "nationalized", that is, non-English, versions. An assessment of individual market segments and other considerations will enter into the decision of Concierge's management as to how its available resources might best be utilized. Expansion of the initial product's capabilities to add fax and voice-mail retrieval capabilities will not be a major effort; however, it may or may not be the best application of Concierge's capabilities from a strategic marketing standpoint. The e-mail version will retail at $39.95. With a $19.95 upgrade, the planned pro version will monitor and collect fax, voice mail and e-mail messages. A user's personal computer will then become a universal communications center. All the user's incoming communications, be they fax, voice- or e-mail, will reside on the user's own computer and will be readily accessible from any telephone. There will be no monthly service fee. No device other than an ordinary telephone is needed to access the PCATM. The PCATM also includes an auto pager that notifies the user by phone or pager when new e-mail is received. The underlying technology is the subject of patents, and Concierge is required to pay royalties of $0.85 a delivered PCATM unit to Lexicus, a subsidiary of Motorola, for its Clamor Automatic Speech Recognition software and 13 $1.00 a delivered unit to fonix for its text-to-speech software. Concierge has paid advance royalties to Lexicus for 50,000 units and advance royalties to fonix for 180,000 units. Concierge intends to "nationalize" the product to accomodate several foreign languages, possibly including Japanese, Korean, German, Latin American Spanish, French and Brazilian Portuguese. fonix has advised Concierge that its test-to-speech software will be available in up to seven foreign languages commencing in the first quarter of 2001. "Nationalizing" the PCATM will also require the translation of PCA-generated voice prompts, packaging for the product and preparation of the user documentation. The voice recognition component of the PCA is "language independent" and requires no revision - once trained by the user, it accepts any sound as signifying any corresponding instruction provided the sound is uttered consistently and in context. Concierge anticipates that it will complete the first nationalization of the PCATM within 45 days after it receiveds from fonix the nationalized test-to- speech development materials. The Market. In a study published May 12, 2000 and entitled "Communications Software and Services," Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette reported on the past, present and future estimated users of the Internet and of wireless communications devices. Referring to several sources for its information, DLJ reported the following estimates of users:
In Millions ----------- Wireline Wireless Source of No. of Users Internet Communication Estimate ------------ -------- ------------- --------- U.S.A.: End of 1998 30 I.D.C. End of 2002 67 I.D.C. Global: End of 1999 196 I.D.C. End of 2003 503 I.D.C. U.S.A.: End of 1999 87 DLJ and WTDR End of 2002 160 DLJ and WTDR End of 2005 200 DLJ and WTDR Global: End of 1999 425 DLJ and WTDR End of 2002 1,000 DLJ and WTDR
14 DLJ estimated that by 2005, over 70 percent of all wireless users in the U.S. will access the Internet - better than 50 percent of the nation's population, or 150 million users. It stated, "The ability to send messages, retrieve e-mail . . . is all within the grasp of a mobile device and at the touch of our fingertips or at the tone of our voice." Concierge believes that it has positioned itself, with its PCATM, to provide a valuable service to a growing market segment. Distribution Methods. Concierge's marketing methods will include direct, high-volume, e-mail advertising promulgated on the Internet. Lists of e-mail addresses are readily available for purchase. Such lists typically contain from millions to tens of millions of valid e-mail addresses. The lists may cost from a few hundred dollars to one or two thousand dollars, depending upon the specificity of the target audience. In the case of Concierge's PCATM product, any e-mail user who communicates in English and has a need to retrieve e-mail messages while away from his or her personal computer may legitimately be considered a prospect. The lists to be utilized by Concierge will be unfiltered lists, generally restricted geographically to English-speaking North America. Concierge has elected not to use its in-house server capacity to perform the actual bulk mailings but will employ an outside service for this function. Both list sources and mailing services advertise extensively on the Internet and can also be easily identified through any comprehensive search engine such as www.dogpile.com. In addition to direct e-mail Internet marketing, Concierge's marketing plan includes the cultivation of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as a sales channel for the PCATM. Under discussion are strategic alliances to provide PCAs with personal computer systems and sales through direct marketing organizations. Concierge has participated and will continue to participate, in radio and television business-oriented shows designed to expose companies and their products to a mass audience. Approximately 50 percent of Concierge's present resources will be allocated to advertising, marketing and product promotion. Production Costs. The PCATM will be manufactured and produced for Concierge by XeTel Corp. A service order fulfillment contract has been executed with eAssist.com of San Diego, California, an unaffiliated third party corporation. Dave Cook Consulting of Mercer Island, Washington will provide product development services to implement products designed by Concierge. Manufacturing Services Agreement. XeTel Corporation of Austin, Texas will manufacture the PCATM software for Concierge at its San Ramon, 15 California plant and ship it F.O.B. San Ramon at Concierge's direction. Concierge furnishes to XeTel the design of the PCATM and a twelve-month forecast of sales. They then negotiate the unit price to be charged Concierge during such period based on the forecast. Concierge also furnishes to XeTel an approved list of vendors for all component parts of the PCATM. The first four months of the twelve-month forecast must be firm purchase orders. Each month the twelve-month forecast is updated, as are the four months of purchase orders. Should the actual orders fall short of those forecast for a twelve-month period for which a price was negotiated, Concierge is subject to XeTel's supplier billbacks. As of October 15, 2000, Concierge had prepaid $49,890 to XeTel for PCAsTM to be manufactured for Concierge. Concierge also had in its inventory at that date 2,000 PCAsTM manufactured for it by XeTel and paid for. XeTel warrants the products for 90 days after it ships them. Should a product be defective because of Concierge's design, Concierge still must pay XeTel the full purchase price for the product. Should a product be defective because of XeTel's workmanship or material furnished by XeTel, XeTel will replace the goods at its expense if the goods are returned to it within 30 days after XeTel's 90-day warranty period. Either party can terminate the agreement for its convenience on 180 days' notice or for cause on 30 days' notice. Service Order Fulfillment Agreement. eAssist.com will provide multimedia, customer-relationship-management services via the Internet to Concierge. eAssist.com will provide - * outsourced e-mail management services and software, * chat management services and software, and * voice-based call handling. All services are to be provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. eAssist.com agrees to provide - * 90% of its automatic e-mail responses within 10 minutes, * 90% of its personalized e-mail responses within 8 hours, 16 * 80% of its chat requests within 120 seconds, and * 80% of calls answered within 120 seconds. e-Assist.com will charge Concierge a one-time installation and set-up services fee and then a flat-rate monthly management fee to be negotiated after eAssist.com's and Concierge's technical staffs have completed the setup, implementation and integration of customized software applications for - * one-to-one chat interaction, * processes for integrating web pages directly with eAssist.com's chat server, * automated and personalized e-mail, * VoIP (voice-over Internet Packets), and * multimedia, customer-relationship, management services via the Internet to Concierge. The term of the agreement is two years - March 29, 2002. Either party can terminate the agreement on 60 days' notice. Product Development Agreement. Dave Cook Consulting of Mercer Island, Washington provides product development consulting services to Concierge. Payment for the services is based upon hourly charges. After a previous consultant hired to perform program coding implementation of Concierge's design of the PCATM failed to perform as required by March 22, 2000, Concierge hired Dave Cook Consulting to perform the work. Dave Cook Consulting restructured the fundamental systems architecture of the PCATM, rewrote the basic programming code of major modules of the software package, and revised the user interface. Mr. Cook, together with Lisa Monte of Creative Web Works, recommended major changes that were made in Concierge's web site (www.pcahome.com) and helped equip the site to handle on-line entry order, credit card verification and order fulfillment. The intellectual property rights associated with the work product of Dave Cook Consulting will be owned by Concierge. 17 The term of the March 17, 2000 agreement is one year. Concierge can terminate the agreement without cause on 30 days' notice. Dave Cook Consulting can terminate the agreement on 30 days' notice if Concierge materially breaches any obligation of the agreement. Governmental Approval of Principal Products. No governmental approval is required in the U.S. for Concierge's products. Government Regulations. There are no governmental regulations in the U.S. that apply to Concierge's products. Properties. Concierge leases approximately 1,100 square feet of office space at Suite 1278, 6033 West Century Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90045. The lease is a one-year lease that expires June 1, 2001. The space is deemed adequate for the present time. Ample space is available for any needed expansion 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. 18 Number of Employees. On October 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. 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. Concierge Management's Plan of Operation 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 September 30, 2000, Concierge had cash assets of $107,559 plus prepaid expenses of $245,800 in prepaid royalties and product manufacturing. In this regard, Concierge had raised $467,500 through the sale of shares of its common stock during the period from July 31, through September 6, 2000. The circumstances of the sale of these shares were such that there may not have been an exemption from registration available for the sales. See "Risk Factors - 9. Concierge has contingent liability of $467,500 for possible violations of registration requirements of the Securities Act." Concierge does not concede that no exemption from registration was available, but the contingency exists that the purchasers of these shares could seek - and might prevail in seeking - rescissions of their purchases of stock and a return of their purchase amounts plus interest and attorney fees. Should a demand for rescission be made by the purchasers of the stock sold for $467,500, Concierge would simultaneously oppose such a demand for rescission, seek to raise additional capital to cover the contingency that rescissions might have to be made, but continue to use its cash assets to pursue its business objectives, as outlined above. Product Research and Development. Concierge's initial PCATM (audio e-mail version) is designed to execute on a personal computer operating under 19 Windows 95/98 and using Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express as an e-mail client. Future versions are expected to operate in the same or successor environments, although the server-based, multi-user, versions will most likely function under Microsoft NT or its derivative, Windows 2000. The initial PCATM, however, is available for purchase and became available on October 3, 2000. A June 3, 2000 and other projected product release dates were predicated upon the fulfillment of firm commitments made to Concierge by outside contractors. Some of those contractors failed to meet their commitments, and Concierge was forced to delay product introduction. Due to the complexity of the PCATM product line, numerous specialized technical skills are essential to successful implementation. However, very few of these niche skills warrant full-time employment of qualified specialists. It has thus always been the intention of Concierge's management to outsource narrowly-focused, technical functions to the greatest extent possible. Support for Eudora and other e-mail clients is expected to be available in the next version, whose release date is yet to be determined. Since Eudora comprises less than ten percent of the Windows-based e-mail users, it is not considered to be a significant impediment to the market appeal of the product. Other Expected Developments. Concierge does not expect to purchase any plant or significant equipment. It outsources the implementation of product designs for its products that it develops, 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. 20 Holders. There are 97 holders of record of Concierge's common stock. 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.

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 -------------------------- Jaak Olesk Beverly Hills, California February 9, 2000 (except with respect to Note 4, as to which the date is March 7, 2000) 22 STARFEST, INC.

See accompanying notes to financial statements. 26 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). 27 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. 28 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. 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. Concierge, Inc. does not have significant assets or revenues. The proposed merger of Starfest, Inc. and Concierge, Inc. will result in a reverse acquisition, i.e. the acquisition of Starfest, Inc. by Concierge, Inc. as Concierge, Inc. will have the controlling voting rights of the combined entity. 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 Acquisiton XX Corp. ("MAS XX"), an Indiana corporation and (2) Starfest, Inc. 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, Inc. in a transaction in which Starfest, Inc. became the parent corporation of MAS XX. Mas Capital, Inc. and MAS Acquisition XX Corp. do not have significant assets or revenues. Upon execution of the Purchase Agreement and the subsequent delivery of $100,000 cash and 150,000 shares of common stock of Starfest, Inc. 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, Inc. 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. The merger transaction with MAS Acquisition XX Corp. is considered to be a capital transaction (i.e. the issuance of stock of MAS Acquisiton XX Corp. accompanied by a recapitalization). 29 ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE 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. ITEM 9.
