ITEM 1: BUSINESS
A) General
Crown Equity Holdings Inc. formerly known as Micro Bio-Medical Waste Systems, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 31, 1995 as "Visioneering Corporation" under the laws of the State of Nevada.
In 2007, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Crown Trading Systems, Inc. ("CTS"), a Nevada corporation, began to develop, sell and produce computer systems which are capable of running multiple monitors from one computer.
In 2009, Crown Trading Systems was dissolved as a corporation and its business was absorbed into the Company. The Company still uses the trade name "Crown Trading Systems." CTS has reseller and distribution agreements with many wholesale and retail computer and components companies but is not presenting engaged in this business due to the lack of demand at the present time. The Company may re-enter this field once the economy rebounds.
In December, 2010, the Company formed two wholly owned subsidiaries Crown Tele Services Inc. and CRWE Direct Inc. Crown Tele Services Inc. was formed to provide voice over internet services to clients at a competitive price, CRWE Direct Inc. was formed to provide direct sales to customers. Both entities had minimum sales during the year.
In December 2011, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary CRWE Real Estate Inc. to hold real estate. This entity had no sales during the year. The company sold the above subsidiaries (Crown Tele Services Inc., CRWE Direct, and CRWE Real Estate Inc.) on the 28th of December, 2017.
At the present time, the Company is offering its services to domestic and global companies seeking to become public entities in the United States.

At the moment, the majority of the Company's publishing sites have light to relatively medium traffic. The Company is presently in the process of strengthening its online publishing competitive position with its strategy of producing and obtaining a stronger presence with its community targeted online news and information publishing. The Company has begun increasingincreased its web presence with the dedicated community targeted news and information publishing websites, which are scheduledwebsites. The Company has increased its readership to begin releasing in January of 2014. This strategy will allow the Company to attain readership and advertisers within communities for additional advertisement value for the Company, as well as creatingcreate a stronger competitive position within the online publishing industry.

The Company was paid a one-time licensing fee of $250,000 for the license but will not receive any future royalty or license payments from Velvet.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
ItemWe have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities and can expect such losses and negative cash flows to continue in the foreseeable future. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and future sales.
If we are unable to adapt to changing market conditions, client requirements or emerging industry standards, our business could be adversely affected.
Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions.
These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, if our operating results differ from our announced guidance or the expectations of equity research analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could decrease significantly.
ITEM 1B: UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial states have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are audited and included herein beginningthe responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on page F-1the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are incorporated herein by this reference.required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
Item 9:We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Going concern
Critical Audit Matter Description
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a going concern due to a working capital deficiency, negative cash flows from operations and limited business operations as of December 31, 2022. Auditing management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgment given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses which are not able to be substantiated.
How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit
To evaluate the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluated the financial information that was the initial cause along with management’s plans to mitigate the going concern and management’s disclosure on going concern.

CROWN EQUITY HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Crown Equity Holdings Inc. ("Crown Equity" or the "Company") was incorporated in August 1995 in Nevada. The Company offers through its digital network of websites, advertising branding, marketing solutions and other services to boost customer awareness, as well as merchant visibility as a worldwide online multi-media publisher. The Company focuses on the distribution of information for the purpose of bringing together its audience with the advertisers that want to reach them. Its advertising services cover and connect a range of marketing specialties, as well as provide search engine optimization for clients interested in online media awareness. Crown Equity Holdings' objective is making its endeavor known as CRWE WORLD into a global online news and information source, as well as a global one stop shop for various distinct products and services. The Company also offers services to companies seeking to become public entities in the United States, as well as providing various consulting services to companies and individuals dealing with corporate structure and operations globally.
In 2010, the Company formed two subsidiaries Crown Tele Services, Inc. and CRWE Direct, Inc. Crown Tele Services Inc. will provide voice over IP messaging at a competitive price to other competitors and CRWE Direct will provide its client with direct sales of products. This entity was divested at the end of 2017.
In 2011, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary CRWE Real Estate Inc. CRWE Real Estate Inc. will hold real estate. CRWE Real Estate Inc., Crown Tele Services, Inc. and CRWE Direct, Inc. were sold in December of 2016 for aggregate consideration of $100, resulting in a gain of $5,967.
In 2016, the company sale of the subsidiaries is not considered to be a strategic shift since there were minimal activities during the year in the subsidiaries.

Basis of Preparation
The accompanying financial statements include the financial information of Crown Equity Holdings Inc. (“Crown Equity”, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to financial reporting as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The preparation of these financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the financial statements contained in this report include all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods reported herein.
F-7 |
Table of Contents |
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases”, which is codified in ASC 842 “Leases” and supersedes current lease guidance in ASC 840. These provisions require lessees to put a right-of-use asset and lease liability on their balance sheet for operating and financing leases that have a term of more than one year. Expense will be recognized in the income statement similar to current accounting guidance. For lessors, the ASU modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. Entities will need to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about their leases, including characteristics and amounts recognized in the financial statements. These provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted the provisions on January 1, 2019, including interim periods subsequent to the date of adoption. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach upon adoption to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Since all the leases were finance leases, there was no effect on the financial statements when ASC 842 was adopted.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments for employees, with certain exceptions. Under the new guidance, the cost for nonemployee awards may be lower and less volatile than under current US GAAP because the measurement generally will occur earlier and will be fixed at the grant date. This update is effective for annual financial reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, although early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 and found the adoption did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
Crown Equity does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on their financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-3, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instructions (ASU 2016-13), which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-3 is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2023, and earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-6, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-6”), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. Upon adoption, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability at amortized cost unless (a) the convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or (b) the convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. These changes will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that was bifurcated according to previously existing rules. ASU 2020-6 also requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The new guidance is effective for public entities excluding smaller reporting companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The company adopted early ASU 2020-6 on January 1, 2022.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are primarily used in our revenue recognition, long-lived asset impairments and adjustments, deferred tax, stock-based compensation, and reserves for legal matters.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Crown Equity considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718 requiring employee equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to other than employees in accordance with ASU 2018-07 Equity instruments issued to other than employees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and the closing price of the company's common stock for common share issuances.
Revenue Recognition
The core principles of revenue recognition under ASC 606 include the following five criteria:
1. | Identify the contract with the customer | |
Contract with our customers may be oral, written, or implied. A written and signed invoice stating the terms and conditions is the Company’ preferred method. The terms of a written contract may be contained within the body of an invoice or in an email. No work is commenced without an understanding between the Company and our client that a valid contract exists. |
2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract | |
Our sales and account management teams define the scope of services to be offered, to ensure all parties are in agreement and obligations are being delivered to the customer as promised. The performance obligation may not be fully identified in a mutually signed contract, but may be outlined in email correspondence, face-to-face meetings, additional proposals or scopes of work, or phone conversations. |
3. | Determine the transaction price | |
Pricing is discussed and identified by the operations team prior to submitting an invoice to the customer. |
4. | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract | |
If a contract involves multiple obligations, the transaction pricing is allocated accordingly, during the performance obligation phase. |
5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation | |
The Company uses digital marketing that includes digital advertising, SEO management and digital ad support. We provide whether presenting a vibrant but simple message about our clients that will enlighten their audience or deploying an influential digital marketing campaign on our online site or across one or multiple social media platforms. Revenue is recognized when ads are run on Company’s advertising platform. The company generates analytical reports monthly or as required to show how the ad dollars were spent and how the targeting resulted in click-through. The report satisfies the performance obligation, regardless of the outcome or effectiveness of the campaign. |

Crown Equity's general and administrative expenses consisted of the following types of expenses during 2022 and 2021. Compensation expense, payroll expense, rent, travel and entertainment, legal and accounting, utilities, web sites, office expenses, depreciation, and other administrative related expenses.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs associated with repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity, or improve the efficiency of our property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the related asset. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined based on either expected future cash flows at a rate we believe incorporates the time value of money. No indications of impairments were identified in 2022 or 2021.

When an entity has a net loss, it is prohibited from including potential common shares in the computation of diluted per share amounts. Accordingly, we have utilized basic shares outstanding to calculate both basic and diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Income Taxes
In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted, which, among other changes, reduced the federal statutory corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. As a result of this change, the Company’s statutory tax rate for fiscal 2019 and 2020 will be 21%. Crown Equity recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company has not reflected any amounts as a deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of future profits to offset any net operating loss.
The Company’s deferred tax assets consisted of the following as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Uncertain tax position
The Company also follows the guidance related to accounting for income tax uncertainties. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 825, Financial DisclosureInstruments, the FASB establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, prepaid expense and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value using a hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy prioritized the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value.
F-12 |
Table of Contents |
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our cash and brokerage accounts are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and estimated as follows.

ITEM 9: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There were no disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure during the relevant period.
Item 9a: ControlsITEM 9A: CONTROLS & ProceduresPROCEDURES
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
We have not made any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
For purposes of this section, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective because of the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which is identified below, which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures.

We have not yet made any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system wasAct that designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.Framework (2013). Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weaknesses relate to the following:
| - | Lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as our financial reporting and all accounting functions are performed by our Officers. Our Officers do not possess accounting expertise and our company does not have an audit committee. |
|
|
|
| - | Lack of a formal review process that includes multiple levels of review, as all accounting and financial reporting functions are performed by our Officers and the work is not reviewed by anyone. |
|
|
|
| - | Lack of expertise in accounting for and valuation of equity and marketable securities transactions. |
- | Lack of controls over the identification and approval of related parties and transactions. |
These weaknesses are due to the company's lack of working capital to hire additional staff. To remedy the material weaknesses, we intend to engage another accountant to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will allow.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to the attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
The Company's management carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015.2022. The Company's management based its evaluation on criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2015.2022.

The Company's Officers and Directors may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. It is anticipated that a substantial premium over the initial cost of such shares may be paid by the purchaser in conjunction with any sale of shares by the Company's Officers and Directors which is made as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. The fact that a substantial premium may be paid to the Company's Officers and Directors to acquire their shares creates a potential conflict of interest for them in satisfying their fiduciary duties to the Company and its other shareholders. Even though such a sale could result in a substantial profit to them, they would be legally required to make the decision based upon the best interests of the Company and the Company's other shareholders, rather than their own personal pecuniary benefit.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Crown Equity Holdings, Inc.
Las Vegas, Nevada
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an 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 included 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. has historically suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CROWN EQUITY HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In 2011, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary CRWE Real Estate Inc. CRWE Real Estate Inc. will hold real estate.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial information of Crown Equity Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Crown Tele Services Inc., CRWE Direct Inc. and CRWE Real Estate, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Crown Equity considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718 requiring employee equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50. Equity instruments issued to other than employees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and the closing price of the company's common stock for common share issuances.
Revenue Recognition
Crown Equity's revenue is recognized pursuant to ASC 605 "Revenue Recognition." The Company recognizes its revenue from services as those services are performed. Revenue recognition is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon delivery of any future service or meeting other specified performance conditions.
The Company recognizes its revenue from the display of impression and click based ads, as well as from its publishing distribution service and domain name registration products and recognizes revenue when the service is provided.
Services are normally completed as described on the sales invoice issued for the service provided. In most cases the services is a one-time completion and recognized when the service is completed.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company establishes an allowance for bad debts through a review of several factors including historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, and financial condition of our customers. The Company does not generally require collateral for our accounts receivable. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.
During 2014, the Company loaned $7,940 to a third party service provider. This loan and $16,200 of loans to related parties (see Note 5) were written-off during 2014 as they were deemed uncollectible. This resulted in a total loss of $24,140 in 2014.
Concentrations
In 2015, 52%, 45% and 3% of the Company’s total revenue was generated from the display of impression and click based ads, as well as from its publishing distribution service and domain name registration product, respectively. During 2014, 100% of total revenue was generated from a single customer.
General and Administrative Expenses
Crown Equity's general and administrative expenses consisted of the following types of expenses during 2015 and 2014: Compensation expense, payroll expense, rent, travel and entertainment, legal and accounting, utilities, web sites, office expenses, depreciation and other administrative related expenses.
Marketable Securities
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 825 an entity is permitted to irrevocably elect fair value on a contract-by-contract basis for new assets or liabilities within the scope of ASC 825 as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for those financial assets and liabilities and certain other items including property and casualty insurance contracts. Entities electing the fair value option are required to (i) recognize changes in fair value in earnings and (ii) expense any upfront costs and fees associated with the item for which the fair value option is elected. Entities electing the fair value option are required to distinguish, on the face of the statement of financial position, the fair value of assets and liabilities for which it has elected the fair value option, and similar assets and liabilities measured using another measurement attribute. An entity can accomplish this either by reporting the fair value and non-fair-value carrying amounts as separate line items or by aggregating those amounts and disclosing parenthetically the amount of fair value included in the aggregate amount.
Crown Equity adopted ASC 825 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and elected the fair value option for all their marketable securities. Management has elected the fair value option as management believes it best reflects the true market value of the securities at the date of valuation.
The Company reports the change in value of the securities as realized or unrealized gains or losses on a quarterly basis against earnings. The gain or loss is calculated as the difference between the acquiring value and the closing market value at the end of the reporting period. For securities purchased, the acquiring value is the fair value of the securities on the date they are acquired. For securities received as payment for revenue transactions, the acquiring value is the fair value of the securities on the date the Company receives the shares as this is the date the company is fully vested in the stock.
Equity Method Investments
For investments that represent significant influence in the investee, the Company follows ASC 323 Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures when recognizing these investments in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, any net income or net loss must be recorded against the Company's investment, not to exceed the original investment and recognized as additional income or loss on the Company's income statement. Crown evaluates the carrying value of its equity method investments for impairment.
During 2012, the Company's ownership percentage in Cleantech Transit, Inc., a related party due to common officers and directors, increased to more than 20% and the Company began accounting for this investment under the equity method. The Company's ownership percentage in Cleantech Transit, Inc. was 42% as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. Cleantech has had no revenues since inception. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the carrying value of the equity method investment held in related party was zero.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs associated with repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency of our property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the related asset. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 5 years. Depreciation expense during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 totaled $618 and $2,248, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical-cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is estimated based upon either discounted cash flow analysis or estimated salvage value. No impairment charge was recorded in 2015 or 2014.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. They include the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents in years with net income. Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same due to the absence of common stock equivalents.
Income Taxes
Crown Equity recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. Crown Equity provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
Uncertain tax position
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, marketable securities and debt. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Crown Equity does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on their financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, Crown Equity has historically suffered losses from operations and had a working capital deficit of $215,319 as of December 31, 2015. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to Crown Equity's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Crown Equity is unable to continue as a going concern.
Crown Equity continues to review its expense structure reviewing costs and their reduction to move towards profitability. The Company's expenses are planned to decrease as a percent of revenue resulting in profitability and increased shareholders' equity.
NOTE 3 – MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are presented in the consolidated balance sheets at fair market value.
Per Accounting Standards Codification 820 " Fair Value Measurement ", fair values defined establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements.
ASC 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data
Crown Equity has classified these marketable securities at level 1 with a fair value of $0 as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
The Company has fully impaired the marketable securities as of December 31, 2014 due to the investments' lack of an active trading market and decline in fair value which was considered other than temporary. This resulted in an impairment loss of $77,600 during 2014. Unrealized losses on marketable securities totaled $2,900 during 2014. The Company does not have such activities during 2015.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815, which requires that all derivative financial instruments be recorded in the balance sheets either as assets or liabilities at fair value.
The Company's derivative liability is an embedded derivative associated with the Company's convertible promissory notes. The convertible promissory note was issued on July 14, 2014 and contains an embedded derivative feature which would individually warrant separate accounting as a derivative instrument under Paragraph 815-10-05-4. The embedded derivative feature includes the conversion feature to the Note. Pursuant to Paragraph 815-10-05-4, the value of the embedded derivative liability have been bifurcated from the debt host contract and recorded as a derivative liability resulting in a reduction of the initial carrying amount (as unamortized discount) of the notes, which are amortized as debt discount to be presented in other (income) expenses in the statements of operations using the effective interest method over the life of the notes.
The embedded derivative within the note have been valued using the Black Scholes approach, recorded at fair value at the date of issuance; and marked-to-market at each reporting period end date with changes in fair value recorded in the Company's statements of operations as "change in the fair value of derivative instrument".
For the year ending December 31, 2015, there is no derivative liability.
As of July 14, 2014 and December 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of derivative liability was determined to be $76,162 and $0, respectively. On July 14, 2014, the derivative liability was recognized with a debt discount of $40,000 and a loss on derivative liabilities of $36,162. During the year ended December 31, 2014, amortization of $40,000 was recorded against the discount. The change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2014 was a gain of $4,038 resulting in an aggregate loss on derivative liabilities of $32,124.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
The Company follows ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. During 2009, there was a change in control of the Company. Under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code such a change in control negates much of the tax loss carry forward and deferred income tax. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carry forwards. For federal income tax purposes, the Company uses the accrual basis of accounting, the same that is used for financial reporting purposes.
The Company did not have taxable income during 2015 or 2014.
The Company's deferred tax assets consisted of the following as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:
2015 2014 Net operating loss Valuation allowance Net deferred tax asset $ 530,300 $ 510,000 (530,300 ) (510,000 ) $ - $ -
As of December 31, 2015, the Company's accumulated net operating loss carry forward was approximately $1,527,000 and will begin to expire in the year 2032. Federal income tax returns have not been examined and reported upon by the Internal Revenue Service; returns of the years since 2013 are still open.
