Spicology is in the business of selling culinary spices from its e commerce web site on the Internet. There is no minimum amount of shares which must be sold in this offering. As a result, potential investors may end up holding shares in a company that: -has not received enough proceeds from the offering to being operations, and -has no market for its shares. Spicology's common stock may never develop a market. THE OFFERING Common stock Offered.........................

Spicology is a development stage company with no operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate its future performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, delays and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a new business in an emerging and evolving industry characterized by intense competition. Our independent accountant has expressed that there is doubt that we may continue as a going concern. The Penny Stock Rules will cover our stock, which may make it difficult for a broker to sell. Our common stock is a "penny stock," which means that SEC rules require broker dealers who make transactions in the stock to comply with additional suitability assessments and disclosures than they would in stock that were not penny stocks. This offering is a direct participation offering, and there may be less due diligence performed. In an underwritten offering, the underwriter and broker-dealers involved in the offering must make certain due diligence inquiries to comply with rules imposed upon them by law and procedures imposed upon them by the National Association of Securities Dealers. Since this is a self-underwritten offering, no brokers will be involved to make those inquiries, and there may be less due diligence performed, because shares will be sold by our officers and directors. We depend upon our sole officer and director to continue our business. Our business is dependent upon Rick Feinstein, who is the current sole officer and director and employee of Spicology. If Mr. Feinstein is forced to leave office or resigns, there will be no management to run our business. We need to raise at least $10,000 in the next 12 months or we will not be able to continue our business. We need to raise at least $10,000 in this offering. If we fail to do so, and are unable to raise at least $10,000 in the next twelve months through borrowing or from private placements of our stock, we will not be able to operate our business. We will need to raise at least $5,000 to commence operations. A public market for our shares may never develop, making the shares illiquid. 9 A public market for our shares may never develop. This may make it difficult or impossible for investors in our shares to sell them. If our shares are approved for a quotation on the over-the-counter market, they may be thinly traded and highly volatile. Stocks traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board or the pink sheets are usually thinly traded, highly volatile, and not followed by analysis. Investors in our stock may experience a loss or liquidity problem with their share holdings. We do not have written contracts or arrangements with our suppliers, which may affect our ability to operate profitably or to compete with other sellers of spices. Our spices are supplied by Frontier Herbs, but we have no written contract with Frontier which specifies price controls or size limits, and we are on a COD basis with all spice orders. If our orders increase in size, or if we are unable to obtain spices at a price to allow us to compete in the market with our competitors, we may fail to operate profitably. Our products will be distributed by our sole officer, and, after we hire additional clerical personnel, by our clerical personnel, which may not be able to handle a large overflow of orders. Our products are ordered in bulk, and will be packages and shipped by our sole officer, as we currently have no office staff, and, after we have hired additional clerical personnel, by our clerical personnel out of our office. If we receive a large overflow of orders and cannot expand our facilities or hire more personnel in time, we may not be able to fill those orders. Our sole officer, director and employee has no experience with running an e- commerce website, and this may affect our success. Rick Feinstein, our sole officer, director and employee at this time, has management experience, but no previous experience with running a website or selling products over the Internet. This lack of experience may affect our ability to operate successfully and profitably. USE OF PROCEEDS The following table shows Spicology's use of proceeds if 25%, 50%, 75%, and/or 100% of the shares are sold, after deduction of an estimate $5,500 in offering expenses. Further, there may be no shares at all sold in this offering. A minimum of 12.5% must be raised in order for us to operate for the next twelve months. 10 10% 25% 50% 75% 100% --- ----- ------ ----- ----- Web site promotion 5,200 13,000 26,000 39,000 52,000 Management salaries 0 0 0 0 0 Employee salaries 450 1,125 2,250 3,375 4,500 Working capital 2,443 6,109 12,218 18,327 24,436 ------ ----- ----- ------- ------ Totals: $8,093 $20,234 $40,468 $60,702 $84,436 The allocation of the net proceeds of the Offering set forth above represents Spicology's best estimates based upon its current plans and certain assumptions regarding industry and general economic conditions and Spicology's future revenues and expenditures. If any of these factors change, Spicology may find it necessary or advisable to reallocate some of the proceeds within the above- described categories. Working capital includes rent, utilities, overhead, telephone, insurance, postage, office supplies, packing materials, and other miscellaneous expenses. Proceeds not immediately required for the purposes described above will be invested temporarily, pending their application as described above, in short-term United States government securities, short-term bank certificates of deposit, money market funds or other investment grade, short-term, interest- bearing instruments. DIVIDEND POLICY Spicology has never declared or paid cash dividends on its capital stock. Spicology currently intends to retain earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. NO CURRENT MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK Spicology's common stock is not listed or quoted at the present time, and there is no present public market for Spicology's common stock. Spicology has obtained a market maker who has agreed to file an application for Spicology's securities to be quoted on the National Quotation Bureau's "pink sheets,"and who intends to file a form 211 with the National Association of Securities Dealers to quote Spicology's securities on the NASD over-the-counter bulletin board, upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, but obtaining a quotation is up to the NASD, and Spicology's stock may never be quoted on the Bulletin Board. Thus, there can be no assurance that the NASD will accept Spicology's market maker's application on Form 211. A public market for Spicology's common stock may never develop. The NASD over-the-counter bulletin board and National Quotation Bureau's pink sheets are quotation systems, which allow brokers to buy and sell shares of stock quoted "by appointment." The results are announced electronically. This differs from a stock market, such as the NASDAQ, which actually executes trades in over-the- 11 counter securities electronically, and which and stock exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange, which utilize brokers on a trading floor to execute buy and sell orders, which are then reported electronically. Also, the NASDAQ stock market and stock exchanges have listing standards, which require companies to have a minimum number of shareholders and minimum capitalization and share prices in order to obtain and maintain a listing with them. Stocks traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board and the pink sheets, unlike the NASDAQ stock market and excahnges, have very limited liquidity and, as a result, investors may not be albe to sell all their shares at a favorable price or at all. CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth the short-term debt and capitalization of Spicology as of December 31, 2000. The table should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated financial statements, including the notes, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. BALANCE SHEET DATA: - --------------------- 9/30/2000 ------- Assets: ............................................ $ -- ======= Liabilities - Accounts Payable ..................... $ -- ------- Stockholders' Equity: Common stock, Par value $.001 Authorized 100,000,000 shares, Issued 2,000,000 shares at September 30, 2000 .................................. 2,000 Paid-In Capital .................................. -- Retained Deficit ................................. (2,000) ------- Total Stockholders' Equity .................... -- ------- Total Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity ........................ $ -- ======= DILUTION As of December 31, 2000, Spicology's net tangible book value was $0, or $0 per share of common stock. Net tangible book value is the aggregate amount of Spicology's tangible assets less its total liabilities. Net tangible book value per share represents Spicology's total tangible assets less its total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. 12 After giving effect to the sale of 200,000 shares at an offering price of $0.50 per share of Common stock, application of the estimated net sale proceeds (after deducting offering expenses of $15,564), Spicology's net tangible book value as of the closing of this offering would increase from $0 to $.005 per share. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $.005 per share to current shareholders, and immediate dilution of $.995 per share to new investors, as illustrated in the following table: Public offering price per share of common stock $0.50 Net tangible book value per share before offering..................$ 0 Increase per share attributable to new investors...................$.045 Net tangible book value per share after offering...................$.045 Dilution per share to new investors................................$.455 Percentage dilution................................................91% MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Spicology's Consolidated Financial statements, including the notes, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. COMPANY OVERVIEW Spicology was organized on March 21, 2000, and has just recently commenced operations. Spicology is engaged in the business of selling culinary spices from its e commerce equipped web site. Spicology's common stock is not listed on any recognized exchange or quoted on any quotation medium. Spicology's stock may never develop a market. PLAN OF OPERATIONS-IN GENERAL According to an article published in the Los Angeles Times, the prices of culinary spices widely vary, with markups up to 200%. L.A. Times, Home Dition, November 10, 1999. Spicology plans to offer competitive prices on spices on the Internet. To do this, Spicology will seek to establish a marketing plan both on the Internet. During the next twelve months, Spicology plans to satisfy its cash requirements by additional equity financing. This will be in the form of private placements of restricted common stock. Spicology may be unsuccessful in raising additional equity financing, and, thus, be able to satisfy its cash requirements, which primarily consist of legal and accounting fees at the present time. Spicology presently has no cash with which to satisfy any future cash requirements. 13 Spicology will need a minimum of $10,000 to satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months. Spicology will not be able to operate if it does not obtain equity financing. Spicology has no current material commitments, except for the payment of $150 per month to Y2K Technologies, Inc. to maintain its website. Spicology depends upon capital to be derived from future financing activities such as subsequent offerings of its stock. Spicology may never be successful in raising the capital it requires. Management believes that, if this offering and the subsequent private placements are successful, Spicology will be able to generate revenue from on line spice sales and achieve liquidity within the next twelve months. Spicology does not anticipate any further research and development of any products. Spicology does not expect the purchase or sale of plant or any significant equipment, but it does anticipate hiring additional employees. Spicology has no current material commitments. Spicology has generated no revenue since its inception. Spicology has recently commenced operations. Its Internet web site is still under development. During the next twelve months, Spicology plans to hire a small sales force of commission salesmen to supplement it Internet sales. Spicology has no current plans, preliminary or otherwise, to merge with any other entity. Milestones Spicology will seek to raise at least $10,000 from this offering, over and above offering costs estimated at $5,500, in order to implement its plan of operations for the first twelve months of operations. This minimum amount of capital must be raised in order to properly commence operations. If we do not raise at least $10,000 from this offering, then we will seek funding by borrowing from our principal stockholder. This first influx of capital is budgeted for development and promotion of our web site and the hiring of one clerical employee to answer the telephone and fill orders. The time for completion of this milestone is estimated at three months from the close of this offering. If we are able to raise more than $10,000 from this offering or by borrowing from our principal, we will implement the second phase of our plan of operations, which is to hire a commission based sales force. Since they will be paid commissions, expenses the company will incur will be advertising literature, mailing and telephone lists costs, and additional telephone line installation and long distance telephone fees. These costs are estimated to be between $10,000 and $20,000. The expected date for the achievement of this milestone is six months from the close of this offering. After achievement of the second milestone, we expect to be in a position to generate sufficient revenue from spice sales to pay operating expenses by the end of the twelve month period following the closing of the offering. 14 Spicology is still considered to be a development stage company, with no significant revenue, and is dependent upon the raising of capital through placement of its common stock. Spicology may never be successful in raising the capital it requires through the sale of its common stock. BUSINESS In general Spicology is developing a web site with full e-commerce capability to sell a variety of culinary spices on the Internet. The expected date of launching of the a fully developed e-commerce site will be by the end of January, 2001. Spicology will seek to establish a marketing plan both on the Internet and conventionally. Spicology is in the process of establishing an e-commerce site on the Internet to market its products. The e-commerce site has not been fully developed as of the date of this prospectus. Government approval is not necessary for Spicology's business, and government regulations have no or only a negligible effect on their respective businesses. Spicology has not booked any significant research and development costs and therefor do not expect to pass any of those costs to customers. And has no product development or research and development costs. Spicology's mailing address is 809 Ocean Avenue, Seal Beach, California 90740. The telephone number of its principal executive office is (562) 596-6646. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This registration statement contains forward-looking statements. Spicology's expectation of results and other forward-looking statements contained in this registration statement involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected are the following: business conditions and general economic conditions; competitive factors, such as pricing and marketing efforts; and the pace and success of product research and development. These and other factors may cause expectations to differ. Business Development Up to this point, we have begun a relationship with our spice supplier, Frontier Natural Products, Inc., to buy wholesale bulk spices from their wholesale catalog, and have developed our web site to the point of an anticipated launching by the end of January, 2001. We have no written contract with Frontier, and are on the same status as all of their wholesale customers 15 who order from their catalog. Spices take up relatively little space, and will be stored in bulk containers in our 10x10x20 foot storage locker, with a useable amount stored in our office, to mix and distribute. We will package the spices in plastic containers and ship out of our office by UPS ground, next day air, Shipping by UPS ground will be included in the cost of our spices, and customers desiring overnight shipments will pay an extra charge for this service. All shipments will be made from our office, and will occur within 24 hours of the customer's order on our Internet web site. Internet web site The web site will be run by Y2K Technologies, Inc., our web master, and the following domain names will direct customers to the web site: www.spicology.com, www.spicology.net, www.spicology.org, www.spiceology.com, and www.thespicesoflife.com. The server is located at the offices of Y2K Technologies, Inc., which will be responsible for monitoring, service, netwrok operations and processing systems. No licensing of software or computers is required, as Y2K is providing us with a complete web site and e-commerce system with its own licensed software. We will use a "DC Shop" billing system licensed by Y2K Technologies which uses encrypted information to process customer credit card information for security purposes. All credit card payments will be processed through Y2K Technologies, Inc.'s merchant program. Y2K supplies the company with a turn-key system consisting of web hosting and e-commerce services for $150 per month. Customers desiring to purchase items simply access our web site, search for the item they wish to purchase, and add it to their "shopping cart." We will have a five day per week customer service line which will be open from 10 a.m. through 4 p.m. pacific time. Customers will also be able to e-mail us with any questions or problems about their orders. The web site will be geared to serving consumers with their culinary spice needs. Spicology will avoid customer service problems by offering a money back if not satisfied guarantee, and providing free expedient shipping of product. MARKETING Spicology is developing an Internet web site with full e commerce capabilities, which will offer Spicology's products for sale to the Internet consumer. In addition, Spicology will promote its web site and its products by conventional advertising and marketing. After this offering, Spicology plans to hire a sales force who will be paid on a commission basis for all sales, of a flat commission of 10% of all net sales after costs. Commission salesmen will work from their homes, and be limited to wholesale resales of spices to retail outlets. Our products will be marketed nationally, and the price range asnd profit margin will vary from product to product, because of the variation in the markups of spices. 16 To help achieve its sales goals, Spicology plans to implement an online marketing campaign. The objective will be to name awareness for Spicology in the online community and to continually acquire new visitors to its Web site. One of the best ways to attract this target audience is to achieve high visibility in the places where prospective customers are likely to be browsing. Spicology's online campaign will target sites that generate high traffic from Internet users who fit Spicology's customer profile. In order to create this market presence and increase customer awareness, Spicology intends to promote its Web site on the major search engines, directories and promotional sites the Internet offers. However, Spicology has not yet developed its Web site, and may never implement these programs. The programs to establish visibility and increase traffic to the web site include directory submissions to make sure Spicology is listed in the top five listings on the major search engines, when a potential visitor types in key words related to software sales. Spicology may never obtain such a status, but it will continually update its submissions to search engines to keep them current and will update its site weekly. Once the site has been developed, Spicology's site will be submitted to the top 75 search engines and promotional sites. While listing a Web site with the search engines and promotional sites is a high priority for the foundation of Spicology's Internet program, targeted links with sites of similar interest is another method of obtaining visitors that are interested in Spicology's site. Spicology will search for sites of similar interest where it is likely to find its target audience to place targeted links. These links will increase targeted traffic to Spicology's Web site. Spicology expects these programs to be fully implemented within 90 days after the official launching of its web site. Spicology intends to design a professional banner and place it with various sites on a "reciprocal" basis, at no charge to Spicology. Spicology also plans to purchase online ad banners on highly trafficked Web sites. Spicology intends to announce its products and services on the Web in press releases. Spicology will e-mail its press releases to targeted publications selected from a database of over 30,000 media resources. Press releases can be distributed within 72 hours. THE PRODUCTS Spicology offers a large selection of packaged spices and seasonings, including allspice, anise, annato, arrowroot, asofedtida, basil, bay leaves, caraway seed, carob powder, cardamom, chervil leaf, celery seed, cilantro leaf, cloves, cream of tartar, chile peppers, cinnamon, coriander seed, cumin seed, dill, epazote, fennel, fenugreek, ginger, gumbo, horseradish, juniper berries, lavender, lemon grass, lemon peel, mace blades, marjoram, garlic, MSG, 17 spearmint, mustard, nutmeg, onion, oregano, orris root, parpika, parsley, pine nuts, poppy seed, rosemary, sage, sea salt, savory leaf, sesame seed, sumac, peppercorns, saffron, tarragon, thyme, tumeric, wasabi, and vanilla. Spicology also offers spice blends, such as herb de province. We currently have a small supply of these products, which are estimated to be sufficient for the first three months of operation. PATENTS Spicology holds no patents for its products. Spicology is the registered owner of the Internet domain names, www.spicology.com, www.spicology.net, www.spicology.org, www.spiceology.com and www.thespicesoflife.com. GOVERNMENT REGULATION Government approval is not necessary for Spicology's business, and government regulations have no effect or a negligible effect on its business, except for the fact that, if any retail spice sales are made to California residents, we will have to pay California sales taxes. EMPLOYEES Spicology presently employs its President, Secretary and Treasurer, Rick Feinstein, who devotes approximately 20 hours per week, equal to one quarter of his total business time, on the business of Spicology. He is also employed as the transportation director of Colton Unified School District, to whom he devotes 40 hours per week. There are no other employees at this time who are providing secretarial services.

Other companies making spice sales and other companies with one or more affiliate or retail locations have financial resources superior to Spicology. There are also many other companies with greater financial resources that Spicology who offer spice sales on the Internet, but few with e commerce capabilities, whom we feel form the bases of our competition . Spicology's competitors include Spices, etc. Spicesetc.com, wildroots.com, and The Culinary Artist (lsmo.com), as well as Culinary Closet. In addition, most grocery stores, food stores, and some convenience stores carry spices, and we will compete with them for spice sales.

Under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, Mr. Feinstein may be deemed to be promoters of Spicology. No other persons are known to Management that would be deemed to be promoters. We have no established policies regarding entering into future transactions with affiliated parties. On March 21, 2000, in exchange for web site development services rendered to Spicology's web sites, Spicology issued 100,000 shares of its common stock under Rule 701 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission to Richard Tearle of Y2K Internet Technologies, Inc. Mr. Tearle is a non-sophisticated investor with full access to all corporate information. On March 21, 2000, Spicology issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to Kenneth G.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES The authorized capital stock of Spicology consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common stock, $.001 par value per share. Upon consummation of this Offering, there will be outstanding 2,200,000 shares of Common stock. Common stock Holders of Common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. The authorized number of directors is at least one director. Holders of common stock do not have subscription, redemption or conversion rights, nor do they have any preemptive rights. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative coting rights, which means that the holders of more than half of all voting rights with respect to common stock and Preferred Stock can elect all of Spicology's directors. The Board of directors is empowered to fill any vacancies on the Board of directors created by resignations, provided that it complies with quorum requirements. 21 Holders of Common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, and will be entitled to receive, pro rata, all assets of the Company available for distribution to such holders upon liquidation. PENNY STOCK STATUS If and when it creates a market for its common stock, Spicology's common stock is a "penny stock," as the term is defined by Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This makes it obligated to reporting, disclosure and other rules imposed on broker-dealers by the Securities and Exchange Commission requiring brokers and dealers to do the following in connection with transactions in penny stocks: - Prior to the transaction, to approve the person's account for transactions in penny stocks by obtaining information from the person regarding his or her financial situation, investment experience and objectives, to reasonably determine based on that information that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the person, and that the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters that the person or his or her independent advisor reasonably may be expected to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. In addition, the broker or dealer must deliver to the person a written statement setting forth the basis for the determination and advising in highlighted format that it is unlawful for the broker or dealer to effect a transaction in a penny stock unless the broker or dealer has received, prior to the transaction, a written agreement from the person. Further, the broker or dealer must receive a manually signed and dated written agreement from the person in order to effectuate any transactions is a penny stock. - Prior to the transaction, the broker or dealer must disclose to the customer the inside bid quotation for the penny stock and, if there is no inside bid quotation or inside offer quotation, he or she must disclose the offer price for the security transacted for a customer on a principal basis unless exempt from doing so under the rules. - Prior to the transaction, the broker or dealer must disclose the aggregate amount of compensation received or to be received by the broker or dealer in connection with the transaction, and the aggregate amount of cash compensation received or to be received by any associated person of the broker dealer, other than a person whose function in solely clerical or ministerial. - The broker or dealer who has effected sales of penny stock to a customer, unless exempted by the rules, is required to send to the customer a written statement containing the identity and number of shares or units of each such security and the estimated market value of the security. 22 Imposing these reporting and disclosure requirements on a broker or dealer make it unlawful for the broker or dealer to effect transactions in penny stocks on behalf of customers. Brokers or dealers may be discouraged from dealing in penny stocks, due to the additional time, responsibility involved, and, as a result, this may have a deleterious effect on the market for Spicology's stock. TRANSFER AGENT, WARRANT AGENT AND REGISTRAR The transfer agent, warrant agent and registrar for the Common stock is American Registrar & Transfer Co., 342 E. 900 South, P.O. Box 1798, Salt Lake City, Utah 84110. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE Upon completion of this Offering, Spicology will have 2,000,000 shares of Common stock outstanding. All shares sold in this offering will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. However, the resale of any share purchased by an affiliate (in general, a person who is in a control relationship with Spicology), will be limited by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated with those of others) whose restricted shares have been fully paid for and meet the rule's one year holding provisions, including persons who may be deemed affiliates of Spicology, may sell restricted securities in broker's transactions or directly to market makers, provided the number of shares sold in any three month period is not more than the greater of 1% of the total shares of common stock then outstanding or the average weekly trading volume for the four calendar week period immediately prior to each such sale. After restricted securities have been fully paid for and held for two years, restricted securities may be sold by persons who are not affiliates of Spicology without regard to volume limitations. Restricted securities held by affiliates must continue, even after the two year holding period, to be sold in brokers' transactions or directly to market makers, within the limits of Rule 144 described above. After this offering, and subject to the holding period and limitations set forth in Rule 144, there will be 2,000,000 shares which may be sold under Rule 144, held by approximately 3 holders of record. Prior to this offering, no public market has existed for Spicology's shares of common stock. However, Spicology's market maker, National Capital, has filed an application for a quotation with the National Quotation Bureau's "pink sheets," which application is still pending. No predictions can be made as to the effect, if any, that market shares or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. The sale, or availability for sale, of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices. 22 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Shares shall be offered on a self underwritten basis in the States of New York, California, Florida and in the District of Columbia, and to qualified investors in the State of California, and outside the U.S. The offering is self underwritten by Spicology, which offers the Shares directly to investors through officer Rick Feinstein, who will offer the Shares by prospectus, to friends, former business associates and contacts, and by direct mail to investors who have indicated an interest in Spicology.

(A Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2000 NOTE 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS Spicology, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on March 21, 2000. It is engaged in the business of selling culinary spices from its e-commerce equipped web site, which is now in development. Spicology has been in the development stage since its formation. Planned principal operations have commenced recently but have not generated any revenue. NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis - Spicology uses the accrual method of accounting. Cash and cash equivalents - Spicology considers all short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible within three months to known amounts as cash equivalents. Currently, it has no cash equivalents. Primary earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the dates of the financial statements. Fully diluted earnings per share shall be shown on stock options and other convertible issues that may be exercised within ten years of the financial statement dates. Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statement and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 3 INCOME TAXES Spicology has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Spicology, Inc. has incurred losses that can be carried forward to offset future earnings if conditions of the Internal Revenue Codes are met. NOTE 4 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Spicology issued 1,800,000 shares of unregistered common stock to its sole officer in exchange for his services. These were recorded in the books at par value ($.001). Spicology shares office space and telephone services of its president at no charge, and it pays no officer salaries at the present time. 29 It also shares office space and telephone services of the President of Spicology at no charge. General and administrative expenses were also paid to officers who are also stockholders of Spicology. NOTE 5 GOING CONCERN Spicology has nominal assets and no current operations with which to create operating capital. It seeks to raise operating capital through private placements of its common stock. However, it is unknown if such offering or negotiations will be successful. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No dealer, salesperson or other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection with this offering other than those contained in this prospectus and, if given or made, such information and representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by Spicology.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Section 317 of the California Corporations Code, as amended, provides for the indemnification of Spicology's officers, directors, employees and agents under certain circumstances, for any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative; and "expenses" includes without limitation attorneys' fees and any expenses, 31 against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding if that person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the person was unlawful. Spicology's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the directors of the Company shall be protected from personal liability to the fullest extent permitted by law. Spicology's By-laws also contain a provision for the indemnification of Spicology's directors. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Spicology pursuant to the provisions referred to under Item 24 of this Registration statement, or otherwise, Spicology has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is unenforceable.

ANNUAL MEETINGS. The annual meetings of shareholders shall be held in the month of March in each year. At such meeting Directors shall be elected; reports of the affairs of the corporation shall be considered, and any other business may be transacted which is within the powers of the shareholders. The first annual meeting of shareholders after incorporation need not be held if less than nine months have elapsed since incorporation to such meeting date. Written notice of each annual meeting shall be mailed to each shareholder entitled to vote, addressed to such shareholder at his address appearing on the books of the corporation or given by him to the corporation for the purpose of notice. If a shareholder gives no address, notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent by mail or other means of written communication addressed to the place where the principal executive office of the corporation is situated, or if published at least once in some newspaper of general circulation in the county in which said office is located. All such notices shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to each shareholder entitled thereto not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before each annual 37 meeting. Such notices shall specify the place, the day, and the hour of such meeting, the names of the nominees for election as Directors if Directors are to be elected at the meeting, and those matters which the Board of directors intends to present for action by the shareholders, and shall state such other matters, if any, as may be expressly required by statute. 5. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the shareholders, may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board of directors, if any, the President or any Vice President, or by the Board of directors, or by one or more shareholders holding not less than ten (10%) percent of the voting power of the corporation. Except in special cases where other express provision is made by statute, notice of such special meeting shall be given in the same manner as for an annual meeting of shareholders. Said notice shall specify the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting except as stated in the notice sent to shareholders, unless by the unanimous consent of all shareholders represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy. Upon written request to the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary or any Vice President of the corporation by any person (but not the Board of directors) entitled to call a special meeting of shareholders, the person receiving such request shall cause a notice to be given to the shareholders entitled to vote that a meeting will be held at a time requested by the person calling the meeting not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request. 6. ADJOURNED MEETINGS AND NOTICE THEREOF. Any shareholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares the holders of which are either present in person or represented by proxy thereat, but in the absence of a quorum no other business may be transacted at such meeting. Notice of an adjourned meeting need not be given if (a) the meeting is adjourned for forty-five (45) days or less, (b) the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and (c) no new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. Otherwise, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. 7. VOTING. Except as provided below or as otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation or by law, a shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on the record date fixed for the determination of the shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting or if no such date is fixed, the date determined in accordance with law. Upon the demand of any shareholder made at a meeting before the voting begins, the election of Directors shall be by ballot. At every election of Directors, shareholders may cumulate votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of Directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which the shares 38 are entitled or distribute votes according to the same principal among as many candidates as desired; however, no shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes for any one or more candidates unless such candidate or candidates' name has been placed in nomination prior to the voting and at least one shareholder has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of such shareholder's intention to cumulate votes. 8. QUORUM. A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. No business may be transacted at a meeting in the absence of a quorum other than the adjournment of such meeting, except that if a quorum is present at the commencement of a meeting, business may be transacted until the meeting is adjourned even though the withdrawal of shareholders results in less than a quorum. If a quorum is present at a meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter shall be the act of the shareholders unless the vote of a larger number is required by law or the Articles of Incorporation. If a quorum is present at the commencement of a meeting but the withdrawal of shareholders results in less than a quorum, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares required to constitute a quorum shall be the act of the shareholders unless the vote of a larger number is required by law or the Articles of Incorporation. Any meeting of shareholders, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned by the vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting. 9. CONSENT OF ABSENTEES. The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, however called and noticed and wherever held, are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy and if, either before or after the 37 meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote who is not present at the meeting in person or by proxy signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes of the meeting. For such purposes a shareholder shall not be considered present at a meeting if, at the beginning of the meeting, the shareholder objects to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not properly called or convened or, with respect to the consideration of a matter required to be included in the notice for the meeting which was not so included, the shareholder expressly objects to such consideration at the meeting. 10. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Except as provided below or by the Articles of Incorporation, any action which may be taken at any meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having no less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on such action were present and voted. Unless the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been solicited in writing, 39 the corporation shall give, to those shareholders entitled to vote who have not consented in writing, a written notice of (a) any shareholder approval obtained without a meeting pursuant to those provisions of the California Corporations Code set forth in Subsection 603(b)(l) of such Code at least ten (10) days before the consummation of the action authorized by such approval, and (b) the taking of any other action approved by shareholders without a meeting, which notice shall be given promptly after such action is taken. 11. PROXIES. A shareholder may be represented at any meeting of shareholders by a written proxy signed by the person entitled to vote or by such person's duly authorized attorney-in-fact. A proxy must bear a date within eleven (11) months prior to the meeting, unless the proxy specifies a different length of time. A revocable proxy is revoked by a writing delivered to the Secretary of the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or by attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the person executing the proxy. 12. ELECTION INSPECTORS. One or three election inspectors may be appointed by the Board of directors in advance of a meeting of shareholders or at the meeting by the Chairman of the meeting. If not previously chosen, one or three inspectors shall be appointed by the Chairman of the meeting if a shareholder or proxyholder so requests. When inspectors are appointed at the request of a shareholder or proxyholder, the majority of shares represented in person or by proxy shall determine whether one or three inspectors shall be chosen. The election inspectors shall determine all questions concerning the existence of a quorum and the right to vote, shall tabulate and determine the results of voting and shall do all other acts necessary or helpful to the expeditious and impartial conduct of the vote. If there are three inspectors, the decision, act or certificate of a majority of the inspectors is effective as if made by all. DIRECTORS --------- 13. POWERS. Subject to limitations of the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, and the California General Corporation Law as to action to be authorized or approved by the shareholders, and subject to the duties of Directors as prescribed by the Bylaws, all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the ultimate direction of, and the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by, the Board of directors. Without prejudice to such general powers, but subject to the same limitations, it is hereby expressly declared that the Directors shall have the following powers: (a) To select and remove all of the other officers, agents and employees of the corporation, prescribe such powers and duties for them as may be consistent with law, with the Articles of Incorporation, or the Bylaws, fix their compensation and require from them security for faithful service. 40 (b) To conduct, manage and control the affairs and business of the corporation, and to make such rules and regulations therefor not inconsistent with law, or with the Articles of Incorporation, or the Bylaws, as they may deem best. (c) To change the principal office for the transaction of the business of the corporation from one location to another within the same county as provided in Section 1 hereof; to fix and locate from time to time one or more subsidiary offices of the corporation within or without the State of California, as provided in Section 2 hereof; to designate any place within or without the State of California for the holding of any shareholders' meeting or meetings; and to prescribe the forms of certificates of stock, and to alter the form of such certificates from time to time, as in their judgment they may deem best, provided such certificates shall at all times comply with the provisions of law. (d) To authorize the issuance of shares of capital stock of the corporation from time to time, upon such terms as may be lawful. (e) To borrow money and incur indebtedness for the purposes of the corporation, and to cause to be executed and delivered therefor, in the corporate name, promissory notes, bonds, debentures, deeds of trust, mortgages, pledges, hypothecations, or other evidence of debt and securities therefor. 14. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. The authorized number of Directors of this corporation shall be three (3) until changed by amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or by a By-Law duly adopted by the shareholders amending this Section 14. 15. ELECTION, TERM OF OFFICE AND VACANCIES. At each annual meeting of shareholders, Directors shall be elected to hold office until the next annual meeting. Each Director, including a Director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which the Director was elected and until a successor has been elected. The Board of directors may declare 39 vacant the office of a Director who has been declared to be of unsound mind by court order or convicted of a felony. Vacancies on the Board of directors not caused by removal may be filled by a majority of the Directors then in office, regardless of whether they constitute a quorum, or by the sole remaining Director. The shareholders may elect a Director at any time to fill any vacancy not filled, or which cannot be filled, by the Board of directors. 16. REMOVAL. Except as described below, any or all of the Directors may be removed without cause if such removal is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Unless the entire Board of Directors is so removed no Director may be removed if (a) the votes cast against removal, or not consenting in writing to such removal, would be sufficient to elect such Director if voted cumulatively at an election at which the same total number of votes were cast or, if such action is taken by 41 written consent, all shares entitled to vote were voted, and (b) the entire number of Directors authorized at the time of the Director's most recent election were then being elected. 17. RESIGNATION. Any Director may resign by giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary or the Board of Directors. Such resignation shall be effective when given unless the notice specifies a later time. The resignation shall be effective regardless of whether it is accepted by the corporation. 18. COMPENSATION. If the Board of directors so resolves, the Directors, including the Chairman of the Board, shall receive compensation and expenses of attendance for meetings of the Board of directors and of committees of the Board. Nothing herein shall preclude any Director from serving the corporation in another capacity and receiving compensation for such service. 19. COMMITTEES. The Board of directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the authorized number of Directors, designate one or more committees, each consisting of two or more Directors, to serve at the pleasure of the Board. The Board may designate one or more Directors as alternate members of a committee who may replace any absent member at any meeting of the committee. To the extent permitted by resolution of the Board of directors, a committee may exercise all of the authority of the Board to the extent permitted by Section 311 of the California Corporations Code. 20. INSPECTION OF RECORDS AND PROPERTIES. Each Director may inspect all books, records, documents and physical properties of the corporation and its subsidiaries at any reasonable time. Inspections may be made either by the Director or the Director's agent or attorney. The right of inspection includes the right to copy and make extracts. 21. TIME AND PLACE OF MEETINGS AND TELEPHONE MEETINGS. Immediately following each annual meeting of shareholders, the Board of directors shall hold a regular meeting for the purposes of organizing the Board, election of officers and the transaction of other business. The Board may establish by resolution the times, if any, when other regular meetings of the Board shall be 40 held. All meetings of Directors shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation or at such other place, within or without California, as shall be designated in the notice for the meeting or in a resolution of the Board of Directors. Directors may participate in a meeting through use of conference telephone or similar communications equipment so long as all Directors participating in such meeting can hear each other. 22. CALL. Meetings of the Board of directors, whether regular or special, may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary, or any Director. 42 23. NOTICE. Regular meetings of the Board of directors may be held without notice if the time of such meetings has been fixed by the Board. Special meetings shall be held upon four days' notice by mail or 48 hours' notice delivered personally or by telephone or telegraph, and regular meetings shall be held upon similar notice if notice is required for such meetings. Neither a notice nor a waiver of notice need specify the purpose of any regular or special meeting. If a meeting is adjourned for more than 24 hours, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given prior to the time of such meeting to the Directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment. 24. MEETING WITHOUT REGULAR CALL AND NOTICE. The transactions of any meeting of the Board of directors, however called and noticed or wherever held, are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the Directors not present signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes of the meeting. For such purposes, a Director shall not be considered present at a meeting if, although in attendance at the meeting, the Director protests the lack of notice prior to the meeting or at its commencement. 25. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of directors may be taken without a meeting, if all the members of the Board individually or collectively consent in writing to such action. 26. QUORUM AND REQUIRED VOTE. A majority of the Directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, provided that unless the authorized number of Directors is one, the number constituting a quorum shall not be less than the greater of one-third of the authorized number of Directors or two Directors. Except as otherwise provided by Subsection 307(a)(8) of the California Corporations Code, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, every act or decision done or made by a majority of the Directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present is the act of the Board. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of Directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for such meeting. A majority of the Directors present at a meeting whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn the meeting to another time and place. 27. COMMITTEE MEETINGS.

That the shares of common stock to be issued by Spicology have been reserved and properly approved by Spicology's Board of directors. 3. That the shares of stock, when and as issued, will be fully paid and non- assessable, legally issued, and are a valid and binding obligation of the corporation. 4. That the shares of common stock have not been but will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and will be registered by coordination with or exempt from the securities laws of the state jurisdictions in which they will be sold.
