4,500,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Prior to this registration, there has been no public trading market for the common stock of EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. (“ EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC.” “we” or the Company”)  and it is not presently traded on any market or securities exchange. 4,500,000 shares of common stock for sale by the Company to the public and the securities being registered by this offering may be illiquid because these securities are not listed on any exchange.  A public market for the Company’s common stock may never develop, or, if any market does develop, it may not be sustained.

The price per share will be $0.04. EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. will be selling all the shares and will receive all proceeds from the sale. The Company may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. The proceeds received from this offering will not be placed in escrow and are not subject to refund.

Since becoming incorporated, EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. has not made any significant purchase or sale of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations nor has the Company any plans nor does any of its stockholders have any plans to merge into an operating company, to enter into a change of control or similar transaction or to change our management. Neither management nor the Company’s shareholders have plans or intentions to be acquired. EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. is not a blank check registrant as that term is defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, since it has a specific business plan or purpose.

In their audit report dated October 20, 2012 our auditors have expressed an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business.

We are an ‘‘emerging growth company’’ within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with the requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and the exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company.  For a description of the qualifications and other requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and certain elections that we have made due to our status as an emerging growth company, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to this Offering and our Common Stock – We are an ‘emerging growth company’ and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors” on page 7 of this prospectus .

This offering is self-underwritten. No underwriter or person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. There are no underwriting commissions involved in this offering. The Company is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities but will use its best efforts to sell the securities offered.

If a 100% of the shares are sold the proceeds to the Company is $180,000.00, if 75% of the shares are sold the proceeds to the Company is $135,000.00, if 50 % of the offered shares are sold the proceeds to the Company is $90,000.00 and if 25% of the shares are sold the proceeds to the company is $45,000.00.

Summary Information about Epicure Charcoal, Inc.
 
The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada as a for-profit company on June 21, 2012.We are a development-stage company that intends to sell our own brand of Charcoal products for BBQ and restaurant grilling purposes.The Company’s auditors have issued an opinion that the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors have issued a “going concern” opinion, meaning that there is substantial doubt if we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues are anticipated until we have completed the financing from this offering and implemented our plan of operations. With the exception of cash advances from our sole Officer and Director, our only source for cash at this time is investments by others in this offering.
 
The Company has not yet implemented its business model and to date has generated no revenues. Neither the Company’s management nor any affiliates of the Company or its management have previously been involved in the management or ownership of a development stage company.

It is the Company’s intention to register 4,500,000 shares to offer at $0.04 per share.

The Company’s sole officer owns 100% of the outstanding shares of the Company and if all 4,500,000 shares are sold, he will own 52.63% after this offering is completed. The Company’s sole officer will have control of the Company.

The following financial information summarizes the more complete historical financial information as indicated on the audited financial statements of the Company filed with this registration statement.

Our Company could fail and any investment done in our common stock could result in a complete loss of the invested amount. Please consider all the following risk factors before investing in our common stock.

Auditor’s Going Concern

OUR AUDITOR’S HAVE EXPRESSED SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY ABOUT EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC’S ABILLITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

In their audit report dated October 20, 2012, our auditors have expressed an opinion that there is substantial uncertainty about our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The company believes that if we do not raise additional capital with in the next 12 months of the effective date of this registration statement we may be forced to suspend our implementation of our business plan. Our officers may be unable or unwilling to loan or advance any additional capital to the Company. There are no minimum or refunds on sold shares as such you may be investing in a company that does not have the funds needed to continue as a going concern. Should the company cease its operations you could lose your entire investment. Please see our Financial Statements dated September 30, 2012

Risks Related To Our Financial Condition

SINCE THE COMPANY ANTICIPATES OPERATING EXPENSES WILL INCREASE PRIOR TO EARNING REVENUE, WE MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY

The Company anticipates increases in its operating expenses, without realizing any revenues from its business activities. Within the next 12 months, the Company will have costs related to: (i) business travel costs from USA to Namibia, (ii) Logo Design and packaging production (iii) website development cost, (iv) Sales and Marketing campaign, (v) administrative expenses and (vi) the expenses of this offering.

The Company has no operational history to base any likelihood of being successful in its intended operations. The Company cannot provide investors with any assurance that our intended charcoal product will attract any customers. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will generate any revenue or that it will ever achieve profitable operations. If the company fails to address these costs, it faces the danger of failing in its intended business, which could result in the loss of your entire investment.

IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADEQUATE FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL, RESULTING IN THE COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

Should the Company fail to generate revenue once we have started our planned sales and marketing activities, the Company could require additional financing to sustain our business operations. We currently do not have any arrangements in place to obtain financing; as such we may be unable to arrange financing if and when the need arises. If the Company managed to obtain financing there is no assurance that the financing would be adequate to satisfy the cash requirements of implementing our business strategies or that financing will be available on acceptable terms. The inability of the Company to gain access to capital markets or obtain acceptable financing could have a material adverse effect upon the results of its operations and upon its financial conditions.

Risks Related To This Offering

AS THE COMPANY HAS ARBITRARILY SET THE OFFERING PRICE, YOU MAY NOT REALIZE A RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT UPON RESALE OF YOUR SHARES.

The Company has arbitrarily set the offering price and the terms and conditions relative to its shares, the value of the shares do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings book value or any other objective criteria of value. The Company has a very limited operating history as it was formed on June 21, 2012 as such it has no earning and the price of the offered shares is not based on its past earnings. No investment banker, appraiser or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares, there fore when and if our stockholders sell their shares of common stock they may not be able to receive a return on their investment.

INVESTING IN OUR COMPANY SHOULD BE SEEN AS SPECULATIVE IN NATURE AND HIGHLY RISKY, INVESTOTRS COULD LOSS THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

Investing in the Company’s offered shares should be viewed as highly risky and more speculative in nature. Investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment should not purchase our shares. The company intends to implement the business objectives of the Company, as this is only an intention, it should be viewed as speculative in nature. If the Company fails to implement its business objectives you could lose your entire investment. All investors considering investing in our shares should read the entire disclosure and the accompanying exhibits and consult with their investment advisor and/or attorney.

We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.  We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions.  If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, “emerging growth companies” can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.  We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves to this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.”

We incur costs associated with SEC reporting compliance, which may significantly affect our financial condition.
 
The Company “will become a reporting issuer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Therefore we will incur costs of compliance with applicable SEC reporting rules and regulations including, but not limited to attorneys fees, accounting and auditing fees, other professional fees, financial printing costs and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs in an amount estimated at approximately $25,000 per year. On balance, the Company determined that the incurrence of such costs and expenses was preferable to the Company being in a position where it had very limited access to additional capital funding. 
 
However, for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”
 
 
8

 
 
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31.
 
After, and if ever, we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we expect to incur significant additional expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with those requirements applicable to companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
 
BUYERS WILL PAY MORE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK THAN THE PRO RATA PORTION OF THE ASSETS ARE WORTH; AS A RESULT, INVESTING IN OUR COMPANY MAY RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE LOSS.

The Company has not used any investment banker, appraiser or other independent third party to assess or give their opinion regarding the fairness of the shares offered. The offering price for the shares have been arbitrarily determined and bear no relation ship with the assets, earnings or book value of the Company. Any potential investors in our Company will pay more for our common stock than the assets are worth, resulting in immediate dilution to the value of the shares bought.

DUE TO THE LACK OF A TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES, YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING ANY SHARES YOU PURCHASE IN THIS OFFERING.

We are not currently registered with any public stock exchange or any other market nor have we been registered in the past. There is currently no public market for our stock nor is there any demand for our common stock. Should we become effective after the conclusion of this offering we intend to engage a market maker and have our common stock listed on the Over-the –Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service. The OTCBB does not have any listing requirements however issuers have to remain current with all their SEC filings to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB. If fillings are not kept up to date with the SEC market makers are not allowed to quote securities for an issuer that does not meat these standards. We may never be accepted by a market maker, which would result in our shares not being traded on a public market. That would make it very difficult for you to sell any of the shares purchased.

THERE IS NO ESTABLISHED MARKET FOR SHARES OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK, WHICH COULD MAKE MARKETS FOR THESE SHARES EXTREMELY ILLIQUID.

Currently there is no public market for the Company’s shares. Any potential investor would have no place to resell your shares, you would have to find a buyer and negotiate your own sale.

The Company share price of $0.04 which was arbitrarily calculated is substantially more than the Company’ net tangible book value per share. This share price is in no way indicative of any forward looking share price should the Company obtain a listing on any exchange as such you could lose a substantial amount or all of your investment.

THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT COULD ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES SINCE THE COMPANY HAS 75,000,000 AUTHORIZED SHARES, DILLUTING THE CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY.

EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. has 75,000,000 shares of which only 5,000,000 are currently issued and outstanding and 9,500,000 will be issued and outstanding after this offering closes if all the offered shares are sold The Company’s management could without the consent of the existing shareholders issue substantially more shares, causing a substantial dilution in the equity position of the Company’s current shareholders. A large share issuance could result in a decline in the share price. You could lose a substantial amount or all of your investment due to the additional share issuance.

THE COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE AN ESCROW OR TRUST ACCOUNT, SUBSEQUENTLY IF WE ARE FORCED OR FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION, INVESTORS WILL LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

Invested funds from this offering will not be placed in an escrow or trust account, as such, if we file for bankruptcy protection or a petition for involuntary bankruptcy is filled against us by creditors, invested funds will become part of the bankruptcy estate and administrated according to bankruptcy laws. You would lose your funds, as the funds would be used to pay the creditors.

THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CREATE OR SUSTAIN A MARKET FOR THE COMPANY’S SHARES AS A RESULT THE SHARES MAY BE EXTREMELY ILLIQUID.

It is the Company’s intention to apply for a quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin (OTCBB). The Company would have to have a sponsoring market maker to file an application on the Company’s behalf. There can be no assurance that we would find a market maker that would agree to file the appropriate documents with FINRA. There can be no guarantee that FINRA will approve the initial quotation so that the Company could list its securities on the OTCBB. If approved there is no guarantee that a market would be created or sustained. Shareholders may find it difficult or impossible to sell their shares if no market developed for the Company’s shares.

THE COMPANY’S SHARES MAY BE TRADED UNDER $5.00 A SHARE AND MAY BE A PENNY STOCK. TRADING IN PENNY STOCKS HAS MANY RESTRICTIONS, THESE RSTRICTIONS COULD AFFECT THE PRICE AND LIQUIDY OF THE COMPANY SHARES SEVERLY.

As the Company’s shares may be trading under $5.00 per share if the offering becomes effective, the shares may be traded as a “penny stock”. Trading shares that are “penny stock” involve various regulations that have to be disclosed before any investor may purchase the shares. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Market makers (broker/dealers) are subject to rules that impose additional sales practices on them should they choose to sell “penny stock”. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these securities. In addition, he must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. He must also provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. These additional regulations may hamper the ability of broker/dealers to sell the company’s securities and could affect the liquidity of the shares being sold. Penny stocks do not have a high trading volume and are low priced you may never be able to resell the stock you have purchased or if you can resell it, it may not be when you want to sell it.

SINCE OUR COMPANY’S SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR CURRENTLY OWNS 100% OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, INVESTORS MAY FIND THAT HIS DECISIONS ARE CONTRARY TO THEIR INTERESTS.

Since the Company’s sole officer and director owns 100% of the outstanding shares and will own over 52.63%after the close of this offering if all the issued shares are sold. He could have control over the Company and appoint all of the Company’s directors. His interest could differ substantially from the other stockholders in the Company. Some of the differences could arise from his ability to continue to manage the business given the amount of time he is able to devote to the Company, his execution of corporate transactions on the timing of business operations. The Company’s president will be making all the decisions regarding the management of the Company.

Investors in the Company’s securities are dependent exclusively on the sole officer and director’s management abilities. Shareholders of the Company will have to rely on the Company’s sole officer and director’s business integrity and fiduciary obligation to the Company and its shareholders to not abuse his position in executing the Company’s business activities. His decisions include but are not limited to the following, corporate financing, transactions and all business operations. As such any prospective investor should carefully consider if they are willing to trust the sole officer and director or his successor with all the managerial aspects of the Company the chose to invest in. Any potential shareholders should carefully consider the experience and business abilities of the sole officer and director of the Company.

THE COMPANY WILL RECEIVE ALL THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING, THERE IS NO MINIMUM PROCEEDS THAT THE COMPANY CAN RECEIVE, THE COMPANY MAY NOT RAISE SUFFICIENT CAPITAL TO IMPLEMENT ITS PLANNED BUSINESS AND YOU COULD LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

This offering is being done on a best-effort basis and there is no minimum amount of proceeds the Company may receive. All the funds raised through this offering will be available to the Company, none of the funds will be held in escrow or in trust account, as such if the Company does not raise sufficient capital to implement it’s planned operations you could lose your entire investment.

Risks Related to Investing in Our Company

WE LACK AN OPERATING HISTORY AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OUR FUTURE OPERATIONS WILL RESULT IN PROFITABLE REVENUES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SUSPENSION OR END OF OUR OPERATIONS.

We were incorporated on June 21, 2012, we have to date not realized any revenues. Our operating history is very minimal and it is virtually impossible to do any evaluation on our operational history to base any future success or failure on.

There is no public market for our shares, the offering price and other terms and conditions have no relationship to assets, earnings, book value, or any other objective criteria that justifies our price for the shares offered in this offering. The following factors where taken into consideration when we calculated the price of the securities to be offered.
 
1.  
The amount of capital required by the Company.
2.  
The Company’s lack of operating history.
3.  
The amount of stock to be retained by the President in comparison to the amount of stock investors would obtain through their purchase of shares.
 
ITEM 6. DILUTION
 
The price of the securities being offered by the company are fixed at $0.04 per share this is significantly higher than the price paid by the Company’s sole officer and director who paid $0.001 per share. The Company’s sole officer and director bought his shares on September 30, 2012   as founder’s shares. The difference in the share prices between the shares offered and Mr. Alex Robertson founder’s shares are $0.039.

The dilution in this offering represents the difference in the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the completion of this offering. The shares diluted price arises from the company’s arbitrary determination of the offering price for the securities. As the shares held by the existing stock holder has a lower book value then the shares offered for purchase it has a dilution effect on the share value. The net tangible book value of the Company is determent by subtracting intangible assets and total liabilities from total assets.

Non-cumulative Voting

The shareholders of the Company have non-cumulative voting rights and as such own less than 50% of the outstanding shares so they have less than 50% of the votes. As the sole officer and Director of the Company Mr. Alex Robertson will own 52.63% of the outstanding shares after the close of this offering if all the shares are sold. The effect of this would be that he could elect all the directors of the Company.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

The company is not at this time but may become in the future subject to Nevada’s control share law. The Nevada Business Corporation Law contains a provision governing “Acquisition of Controlling Interest.” A corporation is subject to Nevada's control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of those are residents of the state of Nevada and the corporation does business in Nevada or by means of an affiliate corporation. This law provides generally that any person or entity that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held Nevada corporation in the secondary public or private market may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the disinterested stockholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights in whole or in part.  

The control share acquisition act provides that a person or entity acquires “control shares” whenever it acquires shares that, but for the operation of the control share acquisition act, would bring its voting power within any of the following three ranges: (1) 20 to 33 1/3%, (2) 33 1/3 to 50%, or (3) more than 50%.  

A “control share acquisition” is generally defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of either ownership or voting power associated with issued and outstanding control shares.  The stockholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from the provisions of the control share acquisition act through adoption of a provision to that effect in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation.  Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not exempt our common stock from the control share acquisition act.   

At this time, we do not have 100 stockholders that are recorded resident of Nevada. Therefore, the provisions of the control share acquisition act do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until such time as these requirements have been met.  At such time as they may apply to us, the provisions of the control share acquisition act may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of the Company, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our stockholders or not.

ITEM 11. INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANT
 
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Business Development

On June 21, 2012, Mr. Alex Robertson, president and sole officer and director incorporated the Company in the State of Nevada and established a fiscal year end of September 30, 2012. The Company does not own or lease any property. The only employee of the Company is its sole officer and director. We intend to contract with consultants to develop our logo and packaging. EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. is a development-stage company that intends to market its planned products online and sell its planed charcoal products, at Trade shows and market to Retailers. We do not have any developed products at this time; we plan to develop 1 product under the brand name EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. The Company is currently a shell company as we have no operations and assets consisting solely of cash.

EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. has on the date of this prospectus not generated any revenues. We have not implemented our business model as of yet. Our auditors have expressed an opinion expressing their exists substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as an ongoing business.

We intend to provide our own brand of Charcoal to potential customers whose interests are in BBQ products and restaurant food grilling.

It is the Company’s intention to develop 1 product for recreational use BBQ, Catering and restaurant uses in different bag sizes (8lb, 16, 35lb)

The Company’s relationship with Jodwa Trading is limited to verbal communications. Jodwa Trading is a company incorporated in Namibia that manufactures lump charcoal and briquettes and exports to various countries around the world. Through our initial discussions with JODWA Trading we understand that they have all the necessary equipment to manufacture the charcoal and bag it with our logo in place. We intend to enter into a trade agreement with JODWA Trading for the supply of our planned product. We do not currently have any intellectual property.

During the next 12 months EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. intends to develop the EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. range for BBQ, Catering and restaurant uses. Once our product is developed the Company will begin its marketing and sales initiative. Management intends to market its product to the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California Nevada, Arizona and Montana in order to minimize the shipping cost, as we intend to store the first containers of charcoal in Blaine, Washington. The President has verbally agreed to provide storage facility to the Company at no charge for the charcoal containers; there is no written contract in place for this.
 
Product Description

EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. is a development stage Company that intends to sell barbeque charcoal under the product name Black Gold. Black Gold is lump charcoal made directly from hardwood material and usually produces far less ash than briquettes. Black Gold is unlike briquette charcoal which is typically made from sawdust and other wood by-products, with a binder and other additives like starch (binder), brown coal (heat source), mineral carbon (heat source), borax, sodium nitrate (ignition aid), limestone (ash-whitening agent), raw sawdust (ignition aid), and other additives like paraffin or petroleum solvents to aid in ignition.

Charcoal is made by burning wood in the absence of oxygen. Lump is charcoal in its most natural form. Unlike the pure lump charcoal, briquettes are manufactured wood by-products compressed with additives.. These additives do give off a chemical smell when lit. Burning the briquettes until covered with white ash before starting to cook should may prevent any chemical smells transferring to food.

It is our intention over the next 12 months to introduce Black Gold to the charcoal market. Management believes we will be able to distinguish our planned product as a premium priced charcoal because we believe its quality is superior. Black Gold charcoal is made from the Black Thorn tree (Acacia mellifera). Black Thorn, a very dense wood, weighs approximately 1100kg per cubic meter1 as compared to American white oak weighing approximately 770kg per cubic meter2 or Hickory weighing approximately 830kg per cubic meter2. According to Wikipedia, “there is a correlation between density and calories/volume” and “denser hardwoods … tend to burn hotter and longer”. “Source www.lazyspade.com/charcoal-products.html”

We intend to have three different size packages: 1) a smaller compact bag of charcoal at 8lb that is ideal for putting in the vehicle and going for a BBQ at a park or with friends, 2) a 16lb bag ideal for home environment where it can be used and stored again conveniently and 3) a 35lb bag intended for use by restaurants and caterers doing an extensive amount of BBQ and/or grilling of food.

The company intends to sell the 8lb and 16lb bag through retail stores. The Company intends to sell the 35lb bag directly through its website to restaurants and caterers with minimum order quantities to mediate any shipping costs.

Pricing:

Suggested retail pricing:

8 lb. Bag
  $ 6.99  
16 lb. Bag
  $ 10.99  
35 lb. Bag

We intend to establish “Black Gold” as a well known charcoal for BBQ and grilling through, attending trade shows, having sales agents on commission basis selling our products to stores and running competitions to increase our contact data base as well as reciprocal listings on supporter web sites. The Company also intends to use Google AdWords to assist us in driving targeted traffic to our website.

Plan of Operations

EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. is a development stage Company that intends to sell lump charcoal under the product name Black Gold. We intend to introduce the product to the market place by, selling to individual hearth and Patio stores and specialty BBQ stores and local distributors. The Company intends to attend trade shows and have sales agents working on a commission basis to increase its potential sales.

It is our intention over the next 12 months to introduce Black Gold to the charcoal market. Management believes we will be able to distinguish our planned product as a premium priced charcoal because we believe its quality is superior. Black Gold charcoal is made from the Black Thorn tree (Acacia mellifera). Black Thorn, a very dense wood, weighs approximately 1100kg per cubic meter3 as compared to American white oak weighing approximately 770kg per cubic meter4 or Hickory weighing approximately 830kg per cubic meter2. According to Wikipedia, “there is a correlation between density and calories/volume” and “denser hardwoods … tend to burn hotter and cleaner then charcoal briquettes”.

We intend to have three different size packages: 1) a smaller compact bag of charcoal at 8lb that is ideal for putting in the vehicle and going for a BBQ at a park or with friends, 2) a 16lb bag ideal for home environment where it can be used and stored again conveniently and 3) a 35lb bag intended for use by restaurants and caterers doing an extensive amount of BBQ and/or grilling of food.

The company intends to sell the 8lb, 16lb bag and the 35lb bag directly through its website to restaurants and caterers with minimum order quantities to mediate any shipping costs.

Our plan of operations over the next 12 months is the following. The Company has 3 anticipated phases for its plan of operations.

Our first phase will start with the company’s sole officer and director flying to Namibia, and start negotiations for the Company to secure contracts, and business relations with JODWA TRADING of Tsumeb. Our anticipated costs for this phase is $7,500, this phase is expected to last up to 30 days.

The second phase of the company’s plan is obtaining contracts with researchers to determine which areas and what population demographic to target to start our sales and marketing campaign so that we can use our sales and marketing effort to the maximum capability. We intend to have our logos designed as well as the packaging of our bags The Company anticipates this phase to be completed 90 days after this registration statement becomes effective. The cost for this phase is estimated at $30,500. We intend to simultaneously do our Market research estimated at $7000.

The anticipated third phase of this operational plan of the Company will start 120 days after the registration statement becomes effective. In this phase we intend to have our first products shipped to us in Blaine Washington. The Company intends to have eight 40 feet containers in a storage facility in Blaine. We intend to launch our website contract sales agents to sell our product on commission basis, attend trade shows to generate sales and make the public aware of our brand and our social economic values. This phase is expected to cost $125,000. The Company intends to not have more than $3,000 office expenses.

Should the Company be unsuccessful in selling 100% of the offered securities we have adopted strategies to minimize the costs of our operations.

Should the Company be able to sell 75% of the offered securities we intend to lower our general business development costs to $7,500, logo development and package design to $29,000, market research to $7,000, sales and marketing to $81,500 we will only import 5 containers with charcoal and cut office expenses to $3,000. (see Use of proceeds, page 13)

Should the Company sell 50% of the offered securities, the Company intends to lower general business development costs to $5,000, logo design and package development to $19,800, market research to $4,000, sales and marketing to $52,500 by importing only 3 containers of charcoal product and Admin expenses to $1,700. (see Use of proceeds, page 13)

If the Company manages to sell 25% of the offered securities we intend to lower the following business expenses to still be able to implement our intended business strategies. General business development $5,000, logo development and package design to $6,000, market research to $2,000, sales and marketing to $24,200 by importing only 1 container full of charcoal product and office expenses to $800. (see Use of proceeds, page 13)

The Market Opportunity

The HPBA (Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association) State in there Report of the Barbecue Industry that Charcoal Shipment Statistics from 1993-2010 has seen a increase in shipping of Lump Charcoal and an increase in the price of Lump Charcoal, compared to regular briquettes. It is management’s belief that the trend will continue with more people realizing the advantages of using Natural lump charcoal, if the statistics are to be projected into the future the market for natural lump charcoal seems very lucrative.”http://www.hpba.org/statistics/barbecue-statistics/CharcoalShipments2010

Source: http://www.hpba.org/statistics/barbecue-statistics/CharcoalShipments2010 .

Management believes that this trend will continue in the future as more people buy and use natural lump grade charcoal.

Competitive Advantages
 
The charcoal market has many competitors. Some of our competitors may have greater access to capital than we do and may use these resources to engage in aggressive advertising and marketing campaigns. The prevalence of aggressive advertising and promotion may generate pricing pressures to which we must respond. We expect that competition will continue to increase. We might not be able to compete with large company’s if they where to drive prices down for BBQ charcoal.
 
 
23

 

Because our product will be supplied through Jodwa Trading, a low cost suppler from Namibia , our product costs will be relatively low and it will allow us to offer our planned product at a premium yet competitive price.

We are development stage Company and we have as of yet no intellectual property.

Regulatory Matters

The Company is not aware of any regulatory matters regarding the import of Lump Charcoal for recreational or commercial usage.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Epicure Charcoal Inc.
(A  Development Stage Company)
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Epicure Charcoal Inc.(A development stage company) as of September 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for  the period from June 21, 2012 (inception) to September 30, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Epicure Charcoal Inc. as of September 30, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from June 21, 2012 (inception) to September 30, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
NOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
September 30, 2012
 
 
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit Company on June 21, 2012 and established a fiscal year end of September 30. We are a development-stage Company which intends to sell charcoal made from hard wood for BBQs and restaurants.
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements present the balance sheet, statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows of the Company. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
Advertising
Advertising costs will be expensed as incurred.  As of September 30, 2012, no advertising costs have been incurred.
 
Property
The Company does not own or rent any property.  The office space is provided by the president at no charge.
 
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.
 
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company.  Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the company’s financial statement.
 
 
33

 
 
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
 
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern.  This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,921, an accumulated deficit of $1,921 and net loss from operations since inception of $1,921. The Company does not have a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs giving substantial doubt for it to continue as a going concern. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either situation in order to continue as a going concern.  The Company is funding its initial operations by way of issuing Founder’s shares.
 
The officers and directors have committed to advancing certain operating costs of the Company, including Legal, Audit, Transfer Agency and Edgarizing costs
 
NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities approximate their carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
 
NOTE 5 – CAPITAL STOCK
 
The Company’s capitalization is 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.
 
As of September 30, 2012, the Company has not granted any stock options and has not recorded any stock-based compensation.
 
NOTE 6 – LOAN PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY LOANS
 
The Company has received $6,185 as a loan from a related party. The loan is payable on demand and without interest.
 
 
34

 
 
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
 
We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes when it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit.  We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.
 
The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset and reconciliation of income taxes computed at the statutory rate to the income tax amount recorded as of September 30, 2012 are as follows:
 
   
September 30, 
2012
 
       
Net operating loss carried forward                                                                                                                              
    1,921  
Effective tax rate                                                                                                                                                              
    35 %
         
Deferred tax assets                                                                                                                                                             
    672  
Less: Valuation allowance                                                                                                                                                
    (672 )
         
Net deferred tax asset                                                                                                                                                    
  $ 0  
 
The net federal operating loss carry forward will expire between 2027 and 2028.  This carry forward may be limited upon the consummation of a business combination under IRC Section 381.
 
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there are no events to disclose.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
In section of the Registration Statement management discusses and analyzes forward looking statements that reflect the views of management in respect to the Company’s future financial performance. Words used in these forward-looking statements are words that refer to future rustic events and are not based on substantial evidence. These words could be words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate and project these are the words management believes project to forward looking financial performance and statements but are not limited to these words only. A potential investor cannot be completely certain that these statements will be accurate.

Results of Operations

From the date of the Company’s inception June21, 2012 to September 30 2012 we have not started our plan of operation and have not generated any revenue. The company has had only expenses; our expenses for this period are $1,921 resulting in a net loss to the Company of $1,921

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our auditors have issued a “going concern” opinion, meaning that there is substantial doubt if we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues are anticipated until we have completed the financing from this offering and implemented our plan of operations. With the exception of cash advances from our sole Officer and Director, our only source for cash at this time is investments by others in this offering. We must raise cash to implement our strategy and stay in business. The amount of the offering will likely allow us to operate for at least one year

EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. has no substantial revenues anticipated for the next twelve months. Mr. Alex Robertson has advanced to the Company $5,000 for sale of founders stock at $0.001 he has 5,000,000 shares and is the holder of the majority of our common stock. He has verbally agreed to advance more funds to the company if needed.

The Company is attempting to raise capital by shares sold at the end of this offering. There can be no guarantee that if we are successful in this offering that we will be able to sell any of our common stock. Any capital raised by the company through this registration statement will be applied by the Company to actions set forth in the Use Of Proceeds on page13. Should the company be unsuccessful in selling all its registered securities we will attempt to use the capital from this offering as per usages set out in the use of proceeds as per percentages.
 
 
36

 

Should the Company be able to sell 75% of the offered securities we intend to lower our general business development costs to $7,500, logo development and package design to $29,000, market research to $7,000, sales and marketing to $81,500 we will only import 5 containers with charcoal and cut office expenses to $3,000. (see Use Of Proceeds on page 13)

Should the Company sell 50% of the offered securities. The Company intends to lower general business development costs to $5,000, logo design and package development to $19,800, market research to $4,000, sales and marketing to $52,500 by importing only 3 containers of charcoal product and Admin expenses to $1,700. (see Use Of Proceeds on page 13)

If the Company manages to sell 25% of the offered securities we intend to lower the following business expenses to still be able to implement our intended business strategies. General business development $5,000, logo development and package design to $6,000, market research to $2,000, sales and marketing to $24,200 by importing only 1 container full of charcoal product and office expenses to $800. (see Use Of Proceeds on page 13)

Should the Company be successful in selling 100% of its offered shares we have enough funds to implement our plan of operations and business development to its full potential.

Business Experience

From January 1985 until December 2001 Alex Robertson joined Taiga Forest Products, a small wholesale forest products company that had 32 employees.  He left Taiga after helping build it to a company with over $ 700 million in sales and trading publically on the Toronto Stock exchange.  From January 2002 until August 2010 he joined Cypress Pacific Marketing a small value added forest products company.  He left, after the company had successfully gone public on Toronto Venture Exchange. From September 2010 until November 2011, he researched the BBQ market in the USA. He joined Skana Forest Products in Nov. 2011 up to date.

Given Mr. Robertson success in the area of building companies since 1985, the company believes that Mr. Robertson’s background;  experience and success as entrepreneur make him well suited to serve as our sole officer and director.

Director Independence

The Company’s board of directors is currently composed of one member Mr. Alex Robertson, who does not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market.  The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us.  In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules.  Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to our management and us.

Conflict of Interest

Mr. Robertson has no other business activities that are in direct conflict with the Company’s intended business activities and or interests.

There were no grants of stock options since inception to the date of this Prospectus.

We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.

The Board of Directors of the Company has not adopted a stock option plan. The company has no plans to adopt it but may choose to do so in the future. If such a plan is adopted, this may be administered by the board or a committee appointed by the board (the “Committee”). The committee would have the power to modify, extend or renew outstanding options and to authorize the grant of new options in substitution therefore, provided that any such action may not impair any rights under any option previously granted. EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. may develop an incentive based stock option plan for its officers and directors and may reserve up to 10% of its outstanding shares of common stock for that purpose.

The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the total number of shares owned beneficially by our sole officer and director, and key employees, individually and as a group, and the present owners of 5% or more of our total outstanding shares. The table also reflects what this ownership will be assuming completion of the sale of all shares in this offering.

The person named above may be deemed to be a “parent” and “promoter” of our company, within the meaning of such terms under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of his direct and indirect stock holdings. Mr. Robertson is the only “promoter” of our company.
[2]
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the Rule 13d-3(d)(1) of the Exchange Act, as amended and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, shares of common stock that an individual or group has a right to acquire within 60 days pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants are deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group and includes shares that could be obtained by the named individual within the next 60 days

Our sole officer and director will continue to own the majority of our common stock after the offering, regardless of the number of shares sold. Since he will continue to control the Company after the offering, investors will be unable to change the course of the operations. Thus, the shares we are offering lack the value normally attributable to voting rights. This could result in a reduction in value of the shares you own because of their ineffective voting power. None of our common stock is subject to outstanding options, warrants, or securities convertible into common stock.
 
CERTAIN RELATION SHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 

On September 30, 2012, we issued a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Alex Robertson, our sole officer and director, for total cash consideration of $5,000. The Company considered these securities as “Founders” shares. Mr. Alex Robertson purchased his shares at par value being $0.001 per share, considerably lower than the $0.04 cents per share in this offering. This offer and sale was made pursuant to the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2)-Exempted Transactions of the Securities Act of 1933 transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.

Our sole officer and director provides office space at no charge to the Company. As of June 21, 2012, Mr. Alex Robertson has paid expenses on behalf of the Company in the amount of $6,185. The amount due to Mr. Robertson is unsecured, non-interest bearing, payable on demand with no written terms of repayment.

 
Item 12A. DISCLOSURE OF COMMISION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
 
Our director and officer is indemnified as provided by the Nevada Statutes and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have 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. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
Our bylaws do not contain a provision entitling any director or executive officer to indemnification against its liability under the Securities Act. The Nevada Revised Statutes allow a company to indemnify our officers, directors, employees, and agents from any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except under certain circumstances. Indemnification may only occur if a determination has been made that the officer, director, employee, or agent acted in good faith and in a manner, which such person believed to be in the best interests of the Registrant. A determination may be made by the stockholders; by a majority of the directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding confirmed by opinion of independent legal counsel; or by opinion of independent legal counsel in the event a quorum of directors who were not a party to such action, suit, or proceeding does not exist.

Provided the terms and conditions of these provisions under Nevada law are met, officers, directors, employees, and agents of the Registrant may be indemnified against any cost, loss, or expense arising out of any liability under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
EPICURE CHARCOAL, INC. is authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. The company is not listed for trading on any securities exchange in the United States and there has been no active market in the United States or elsewhere for the common shares.

On September 30, 2012 the Company sold 5,000,000 common shares to the Company’ sole officer and Director as founders shares at $0.001 per share. There has been no commission paid to any one on the sale of these shares.

The Company received a total of $5,000 from Mr. Alex Robertson. The company sold the securities to him under the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on the basis that the securities were offered and sold in a non-public offering to a “sophisticated investor” who had access to registration-type information about the Company.

The Company has spent a portion of the proceeds raised by the sale of these unregistered securities on expenses associated with this offering an/or other start up costs. Any money left over after these expenses have been paid will be used pro rata in the use of proceeds.
