Concierge Technologies, Inc.

Business conducted. The business of Concierge Technologies is to conceptualize, design, develop, distribute and market software, hardware and services within the personal communications industry.

We formed Concierge Nevada solely as a vehicle for our change of domicile from California to Nevada. Our business will become the business of Concierge Nevada after the merger. The directors and officers of our company will become the directors and officers of Concierge Nevada.

Terms of the transaction. Our company and Concierge Nevada will merge. Concierge Nevada will be the surviving corporation. All outstanding shares of common stock of our company will convert in the merger to the same number of shares of common stock of Concierge Nevada. Both companies have the same number of authorized shares of common stock (190 million) and the same number of authorized shares of preferred stock (10 million). After the merger there will be the same number of shares of common stock outstanding. There are no outstanding shares of preferred stock of our company, and after the merger there will be no outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Reasons for engaging in the transaction. We are considering making offers to acquire controlling interests in one or more closely-held corporations in consideration of our issuance of common stock to the shareholders of the other corporations. California law - the law under which we are incorporated and which controls our procedures - requires advance shareholder approval of such transactions; Nevada law does not. We can more easily and more quickly effect such acquisitions under Nevada law. We do not have any agreements or letters of intent to effect any such acquisition, nor have we made any offers or entered into negotiations with any company to make such an acquisition.

Vote required for approval of the transaction. A majority of the outstanding shares of common stock must approve the merger if it is to be approved without a shareholders’ meeting. The written approval of the merger has been obtained from members of our management and others who are the record holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. There are no outstanding shares of our authorized preferred stock.

Material differences in California corporation law and Nevada corporation law as respects the rights of security holders. There are several material differences in the rights of shareholders of California corporations as compared with the rights of shareholders of Nevada corporations. The following compares material differences in the laws of the two states:

California Corporation Code
Nevada Corporation Law

Dividends or distributions to shareholders: Directors may authorize only (1) if retained earnings equals or exceeds the distribution or (2) after giving effect to the distribution, the sum of tangible assets is at least equal to 11/4 times liabilities and current assets at least equals current liabilities or if average earnings before taxes and interest expense for last two fiscal years were less than average interest expense, then such average earnings must at least equal 11/4 times current liabilities.
Dividends or distributions to shareholders: Directors may authorize unless (1) corporation could not pay its debts as they become due in ordinary course of business or (2) after giving effect to the distribution, total assets would be less than total liabilities plus any amount needed to satisfy the preferential rights on dissolution of stockholders whose rights are superior to those that receive the distribution.
Removal of directors: directors may remove a director that has been declared of unsound mind or convicted of a felony. Shareholders may remove a director without cause by majority vote. But if cumulative voting is authorized, the shareholder vote against removal must not equal or exceed the number of votes that would have been sufficient to elect the director had they been voted cumulatively at the last election of directors.
Removal of directors: Shareholders may remove a director by a 2/3rds vote of all the voting stock.


Accounting treatment of the transaction. The merger will be treated as a recapitalization of our company. Our financial statements will become the historical financial statements of the surviving corporation, Concierge Nevada.

Federal income tax consequences of the transaction. The transaction is a tax-free business reorganization between two corporations. The federal income tax basis of each of our shareholders will become the income tax basis of the acquired shares of common stock of Concierge Nevada.

Provisions in the charters or bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the corporations. There are no provisions in the charters or bylaws of either corporation that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the corporation.

Regulatory approvals. There are no federal or state regulatory requirements that must be complied with or approval must be obtained in connection with the transaction.
