Company’s History
Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. (the Company) was formerly known as "Visioneering Corporation", which was incorporated on August 31, 1995 under the laws of the State of Nevada.
The Company changed its name from “Visioneering Corporation” to "Asiamerica Energy Group, Inc." on January 12, 1996, when it entered into an agreement to acquire an oil and gas company.

On May 15, 1997, the Company changed its name to "Trump Oil Corporation."

On March 10, 1999, the Company entered a letter of intent with 20/20 Web Design, Inc., a Colorado corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Multi-Source Capital, Ltd.

The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and completed its acquisition of 20/20 Web Design, Inc., with the Company changing its name as a result.
On April 10, 2001 the Company changed its name to "BentleyTel", since the Company entered a letter of intent with BentleyTel.com, Inc., a Nevada corporation, to acquire BentleyTel in a statutory merger. The transaction was not completed, and the Company changed its name back to 20/20 Web Design, Inc. on June 8, 2001

Thereafter, on December 10, 2003, the Company changed its name to " Micro Bio-Medical Waste Systems, Inc.”
On September 28, 2006, the Company changed to its current name of “Crown Equity Holdings, Inc.”

RISK FACTORS
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk.
You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding whether to invest in our securities. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could harm our financial condition, results of operations, business, and prospects. In such an event, the market price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. In addition to the additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may have similar adverse effects on us, this plan contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors set forth below. Any of the following risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We compete with other on-line news publications.
Our future success will depend on our ability to increase and enhance our market position by: (1) delivering news and information globally; (2) transform our readership into possible consumers of the Company’s other products and services and (3) increasing our online visibility.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk.
You should carefully consider and evaluate all the information contained in this prospectus, the accompanying prospectus, and the documents that we incorporated by reference into this prospectus and accompanying prospectus before you decide to purchase our securities. You should carefully consider and evaluate the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth in that report, as updated by annual, quarterly, and other reports and documents that we file with the SEC and incorporate by reference into this prospectus or any prospectus, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the value of any securities offered by this prospectus. As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment.
We 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.
In Note 2 of our financial statements, our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has raised substantial doubt as our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and future sales. The financial statements in this registration statement have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the 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 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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 expectations, or the expectations of equity research analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could decrease significantly.
The Note 2 of our financial statements from our auditor discloses that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern, which, if we ceased to be able to continue operations, could result in your investment becoming worth significantly less than the offering price, or possibly even causing it to become worthless.
Note 2 of our financial statements discloses a substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we will have to close our doors or recapitalize, both of which would cause a loss of value, either through dilution or becoming worthless.
We have a limited operating history, with cumulative losses. If losses continue, it could cause us to run out of money and close our business.
We have an accumulated deficit from operations. There is not a sufficient amount of gross revenue and profit to finance our planned growth and, without additional financing as outlined in this prospectus; we could continue to experience losses in the future. Our accumulated deficit through December 31, 2022 was $14,156,842. The accumulated deficit period ending June 30, 2023 was $14,194,620. We may incur significant expenses in promoting our business, and as a result, will need to generate significant revenues over and above our current revenue to achieve consistent profitability. If we are unable to achieve that profitability, your investment in our common stock may decline or become worthless.
The nature of our business depends on several factors.
Our quarterly and annual sales could vary significantly depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to a significant downturn in the media industry, fluctuating customer demand, delay or timing of disseminating, information and selling product mix and price competition. The failure to achieve quarterly or annual revenue and profits expectations would likely adversely affect the price of our common stock.
Although we believe the funds that we raise in this offering will allow us to generate sufficient funds from operations, if that is not the case, we may have to raise additional capital which may not be available or may be too costly, which, if we cannot obtain, could cause us to have to cease our operations.
We expect that the funds we raise in this offering will take us to the point of a positive cash flow. However, if that does not turn out to be the case, our capital requirements could be more than our operating income. As of December 31, 2022, our cash balance was $2,930. As for the period ended June 30, 2023, our cash balance was $3,165. We do not have sufficient cash to indefinitely sustain operating losses but believe we can generate positive cash flow within twelve months from the funds raised in this offering. Our potential profitability depends on our ability to generate and sustain substantially higher net sales with reasonable expense levels. We may not operate on a profitable basis or that cash flow from operations will be enough to pay our operating costs. We anticipate that the funds raised in this offering will be sufficient to fund our planned growth for the year after we close on the offering assuming we raise the minimum amount in this offering. Thereafter, if we do not achieve profitability, we will need to raise additional capital to finance our operations. We have no current or proposed financing plans or arrangements other than this offering. We could seek additional financing through debt or equity offerings. Additional financing may not be available to us, or, if available, may be on terms unacceptable or unfavorable to us. If we need and cannot raise additional funds, further development of our business, upgrades in our technology, additions to our product lines may be delayed or postponed indefinitely; if this happens, the value of your investment could decline or become worthless.
The public market for our common stock currently exists but it is thinly traded, and a broad active trading market may never materialize, and an investor may not be able to sell their stock.
Prior to this offering, there has been thin trading in the public market for our common stock. A broad active trading market still may not develop and, even so, the market value could decline to a value below the offering price in this prospectus. Additionally, if the market is not active or illiquid, investors may not be able to sell their securities.
If a public trading market for our common stock materializes, we may be classified as a ‘penny stock’ which has additional requirements in trading the stock, which could cause you not to be able to sell your stock.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission treats stocks of certain companies as a ‘penny stock’. If we are classified as a ‘penny stock’, that classification makes it harder to trade even if it is traded on an electronic exchange like the over-the-counter bulletin board. These requirements include (i) broker-dealers who sell to customers must have the buyer fill out a questionnaire, and (ii) broker-dealers may decide upon the information given by a prospective buyer whether or not the broker-dealer determines the stock is suitable for their financial position. These rules may adversely affect the ability of both the selling broker-dealer and the buying broker-dealer to trade your securities as well as the purchasers of your securities to sell them in the secondary market.
Investing in a penny stock has inherent risks, affecting both brokers, buyers, and sellers, which could cause the marketability of your stock to be less than if there were not those requirements.
When a seller of a ‘penny stock’ desires to sell, they must execute that trade through a broker. Many brokers do not deal in penny stocks, so a seller’s ability to market/sell their stock is reduced because of the number of brokers who engage in trading such stocks. Additionally, if a broker does engage in trading penny stocks, and the broker has a client who wishes to buy the stock, they must have the client fill out a number of pages of paperwork before they can execute the trade. These requirements cause a burden to some who may decide not to buy because of the additional paperwork. Thus, the marketability of your stock is less as a penny stock than as a stock listed on an exchange. This could cause your investment to be worthless, liquid, and investors may not be able to market their shares effectively.
Investors are not able to cancel the subscription agreements they signed, therefore losing any chance to change their minds.
Once the Company receives an investor’s subscription, they will not be able to cancel their subscription. The investor will therefore lose any right or opportunity to change their mind after receipt by the Company.
Our offering price of $5.00 per unit was determined arbitrarily by our Board of Directors. Your investment may not be worth as much as the offering price because of the method of its determination.
The Board of Directors arbitrarily determined the offering price for the offer at $5.00 per unit. As the offering price is not based on a specific calculation or metric, the price has inherent risks; therefore, your investment could be worth less than the offering price.
There are inherent risks of being a public company, such as regulatory filings, costs associated with regulatory matters which include audits and legal. These deadlines and the costs of regulatory requirements could cause diversion from the business itself, which causes the value of your investment to decline.
There are inherent risks in being a public company including regulatory filings which have deadlines, costs associated with these regulatory requirements which include audit, legal and significant time of management. The failure of management to deal with these requirements on a timely basis or the inability of the company to be able to afford to pay for them could cause the value of the business, and therefore your investment, to lose value or even become worthless.
There are industry risks such as a low barrier of entry, no licensing requirements, and competition from various aspects of the publishing industry, all of which could affect our sales and if they negatively affect our sales, your investment could go down in value or even disappear altogether.
There are risks in our industry including a low barrier of entry meaning that it does not take a lot of capital to get started, there are no regulatory requirements. If any of these risks flow to our Company in reduced sales and/or higher costs, your investment could go down in value or even become worthless.
The Company relies on the services provided by the key officers and the loss of officers could adversely affect the Company and therefore could adversely affect the value of your investment.
The services provided by the Company’s CEO/President and certain officers are currently a key factor to maintain the strength of its administrative and technology capabilities. The loss of any of them could have a material adverse effect on the Company, while a replacement is being appointed by the board of directors. We do not maintain any key man life insurance on any officer.
Additional Crown Equity’s risk factors are disclosed within the following Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
Impact of coronavirus pandemic
This negatively affected the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global supply chains, significantly restricted travel, and transportation, resulted in mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in- place” and created significant disruption of the financial markets during 2020, 2021 and into 2022. In May 2023 the World Health Organization declared that COVID-19 no longer represents a global public health emergency of international concern, but the effects of the pandemic are still being felt in the form of COVID-19 infections.
The coronavirus pandemic outbreak caused major disruptions to businesses and markets worldwide. Though the Company cannot predict what the long-term effects of the pandemic and the resulting economic disruptions may have on the results of operations. The extent of the effect of the pandemic on our liquidity and results of operations will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of a future pandemic, and governmental, regulatory, and private sector responses, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict.
We are selling shares offered in this prospectus without an underwriter and may not be able to sell any of the shares offered herein.

There are no firm commitments to purchase any of the shares in this offering. Consequently, there is no guarantee that we are capable of selling all, or any, of our Ordinary Shares offered hereby.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time.

We will have broad discretion over the uses of the net proceeds in this offering.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The Company arbitrarily determined the offering price for the offering of $5.00 per unit. As the offering price is not based on a specific calculation or metric, the price has inherent risks and therefore your investment could be worth less than the offering price.

Our common stock is listed (OTC PINK: CRWE)
DILUTION
If you purchase units in this offering, you will experience an immediate and substantial dilution in the projected book value of the common stock from the price you pay in this initial offering.
The book value of our common stock as of the year ended June 30, 2023 was $(0.10) per share. The projected book value per share is equal to our total assets, less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding.
After giving effect to the sale of common stock offered by us in this offering, and the receipt and application of the estimated net proceeds (at an initial public offering price of $5.00 per share, after deducting estimated offering expenses), our projected book value as of June 30, 2023 would be:
$9,986,396 or $0.55 per share, if the lower amount is sold,
$24,978,896, or $1.28 per share if the midpoint amount is sold, and
$49,969,396 or $2.07 per share, if the maximum is sold.
This means that if you buy stock in this offering at $5.00 per unit, you will pay substantially more for the common shares that you received than the current market price of the stock. The following represents your dilution:
| · | if a lower amount of 2,000,000 shares is sold, a decrease in book value to our new shareholders will take effect immediately from $5.00 to $0.55 per share, resulting in a dilution to the new shareholders of $4.45 per common share. |
| | |
| · | if a lower amount of 5,000,000 shares is sold, a decrease in book value to our new shareholders will take effect immediately from $5.00 to $1.28 per share, resulting in a dilution to the new shareholders of $3.72 per common share. |
| | |
| · | if a lower amount of 10,000,000 shares is sold, a decrease in book value to our new shareholders will take effect immediately from $5.00 to $2.07 per share, resulting in a dilution to the new shareholders of $2.93 per common share. |
The following table illustrates this per share dilution:
| | | Low Point (2,000,000 Units Sold in Offering) | | | | Mid-Point (5,000,000 Units Sold in Offering) | | | | Maximum (10 000 000 Units Sold in Offering) | |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations with our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (the “Interim Financial Statements”) and our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (the “Annual Financial Statements”), together with the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. The discussion and the analysis should also be read together with the information set forth in the section entitled “Business.” The following discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” or in other parts of this prospectus. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.
Overview
The Company will continue to search for additional areas in which it can generate revenue to reap the benefits and rewards of being profitable, but there can be no guarantee that profitability will be achieved in the near or long-term future.
The Company will attempt to carry out its business plan, which is to continue building its network of online publishing sites, as well as continuing to provide consulting and services to its clients on an as-needed basis. These services include general and financial management to private and public companies with an emphasis on their financial reporting and filing requirements. Such services are subject to the needs of its clients and may vary by company. The Company cannot predict to what extent its lack of liquidity and capital resources will hinder its business plan.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, the Company's most significant change in liquidity or capital resources or stockholders' equity has been receipts of proceeds from offerings of its capital stock. The revenue transaction does not reflect the ability of the Company to fund itself without outside sources in the future. In the past, officers and directors of the Company have lent or advanced monies to the Company to fund operations, there are no formal agreements or arrangements for them to continue to do so. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $2,930 in cash, which includes $649.71 held in brokerage accounts and $0.00 of long-term debt. As of the period ending June 30, 2023, the company had $3,165 in cash, which includes $649.71 held in brokerage accounts and $0 of long-term debt.
As of June 30, 2023, Crown Equity had current assets of $3,165 and current liabilities of $1,421,789 resulting in a working capital deficit of $1,418,624. Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $39,372 compared to net cash used of $50,779 for the same period in 2022.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $0 and $37,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $39,607 compared to net cash provided of $16,077 for the same period in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we borrowed $43,900 from related parties compared to $14,500 for the same period in 2022.
Our existing capital may not be sufficient to meet Crown Equity's cash needs, including the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This condition raises substantial doubt as to Crown Equity's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Crown Equity is unable to continue as a going concern.
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
The Company's existing capital may not be sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs, including the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management or other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover its expenses.
The Company might seek to compensate providers of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Six months ended June 30, 2023, Compared to the Six months ended June 30, 2022
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenues were $0 and $2,707 for the same period in 2022.
Revenues for the six months period ended June 30, 2023 were significantly lower compared to the same period in 2022, which was cause to there being no revenue earned through any of the services offered by the Company, such as advertising, click based and impressions ads on its web sites, as well as the publishing, and distribution of press releases, or the use of the company’s server services. Since the discovery of some software server functioning errors, the Company has focused its attention on performing assessments and correcting its findings, being that its web the primary source for its services.

Competitive Advantage
Benefits of specialization include greater economic efficiency, consumer benefits, and opportunities for growth for competitive sectors.
The internet contains an unending stream of information and data at all times, with so much information available from some of the most popular news aggregators sources, including Feedly, Google News, Alltop, and Flipboard, which can get overwhelming when searching for up-to-date information within a selected industry. Therefore, CRWE WORLD aims to specialize in providing business information in a specific field, so its readership can limit their search to one source within the aggregated news industry. The Company believes that as it specializes, it will automatically gather a higher perception of authority in the marketplace.
Here are a few examples of natural evolutions in specialization:
| · | Real estate agent to buyer’s agent |
| | |
| · | General auto mechanic shop to quick oil change shop |
| | |
| · | Business consultant to marketing consultant |
The Company plans to specialize in aggregating business press releases and news, focusing on providing that value for its readerships and clients.

Exercisability.
The warrants are exercisable at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a warrant.
Exchange Listing.
There is no established public trading market for the warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to list the warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the warrants will be limited.
Rights as a Stockholder.
Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holders of the warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their warrants.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Our articles of incorporation, bylaws, and the provision of the Nevada Revised Statue (NRS) could have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring us, even if the acquisition would benefit our stockholders. Such provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control of our Company. These provisions are also designed to encourage a person seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of the increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Nevada Law
In addition, Nevada has enacted the following legislation that may deter or frustrate takeovers of Nevada corporations:
| ● | Authorized but Unissued Stock. Pursuant to our articles of incorporation and applicable provisions of Chapter 78 of the NRS, the authorized but unissued shares of our common stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock may enable our board of directors to issue shares of stock to persons friendly to existing management. |
| | |
| ● | Evaluation of Acquisition Proposals. The NRS expressly permit our board of directors, when evaluating any proposed tender or exchange offer, any merger, consolidation, or sale of substantially all of our assets, or any similar extraordinary transaction, to consider all relevant factors including, without limitation, the social, legal, and economic effects on our employees, customers, suppliers, and other relevant interest holders, and on the communities and geographical areas in which they operate. Our board of directors may also consider the amount of consideration being offered in relation to the then current market price of our outstanding shares of capital stock and our then current value in a freely negotiated transaction. |
| | |
| ● | Control Share Acquisitions. Nevada has adopted a “control share acquisitions” statute designed to afford stockholders of public corporations in Nevada protection against acquisitions in which a person, entity or group seeks to gain voting control. With enumerated exceptions, the statute provides that shares acquired within certain specific ranges will not possess voting rights in the election of directors unless the voting rights are approved by a majority vote of the public corporation’s disinterested stockholders. Disinterested shares are shares other than those owned by the acquiring person or by a member of a group with respect to a control share acquisition, or by any officer of the corporation or any employee of the corporation who is also a director. The specific acquisition ranges that trigger the statute are: acquisitions of shares possessing one-fifth or more but less than one-third of all voting power; acquisitions of shares possessing one-third or more but less than a majority of all voting power; or acquisitions of shares possessing a majority or more of all voting power. Under certain circumstances, the statute permits the acquiring person to call a special stockholders’ meeting for the purpose of considering the grant of voting rights to the holder of the control shares. The statute also enables a corporation to provide for the redemption of control shares with no voting rights under certain circumstances. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation will reflect that we have elected not to be governed by the terms and provisions of Nevada’s control share acquisition laws (Sections 78.378 – 78.3793 of the NRS) until immediately following the time at which each of our founders cease to individually beneficially own shares of common stock representing at least 15% of the voting power of our voting stock, and thereafter we will be governed by Sections 78.378 – 78.3793 of the NRS for so long as such provisions apply to us. |
| | |
| ● | Combinations with Interested Stockholders. Nevada has adopted a “combinations with interested stockholders” statute designed to prohibit certain business “combinations” between certain Nevada corporations and any person deemed to be an “interested stockholder” for two years after the such person first becomes an “interested stockholder” unless (i) the corporation’s board of directors approves the combination (or the transaction by which such person becomes an “interested stockholder”) in advance, or (ii) the combination is approved by the board of directors and sixty percent of the corporation’s voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder, its affiliates and associates. Furthermore, in the absence of prior approval, certain restrictions may apply even after such two-year period. For purposes of these statutes, an “interested stockholder” is any person who is (x) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (y) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the two previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. Subject to certain timing requirements set forth in the statute, a corporation may elect not to be governed by these statutes. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation will reflect that we have elected not to be governed by the terms and provisions of Nevada’s “combinations with interested stockholders” statute (Sections 78.411 through 78.444 of the NRS) until immediately following the time at which each of our founders cease to individually beneficially own shares of common stock representing at least 15% of the voting power of our voting stock, and thereafter we will be governed by Sections 78.411 through 78.444 of the NRS for so long as such provisions apply to us. |

Pink Open Market Considerations
We trade on the Pink Open Market, which is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ stock market and other stock exchanges. NASDAQ has no business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the Pink Open Market. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the Pink Open Market.
Although, the NASDAQ stock market has rigorous listing standards to ensure the high quality of its issuers, and can delist issuers for not meeting those standards, the Pink Open Market has no listing standards. Rather, it is the market maker who chooses to quote a security on the system, files the application, and is obligated to comply with keeping information about the issuer in its files. FINRA cannot deny an application by a market maker to quote the stock of a company. The only requirement for inclusion in the Pink Open Market is that the issuer be current in its reporting requirements with the SEC.
Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade Pink Open Market securities. Investors do not have direct access to the Markets service. For Markets securities, there only has to be one market maker. Markets transactions are conducted almost entirely manually. Because there are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the Markets, they are conducted via telephone. In times of heavy market volume, the limitations of this process may result in a significant increase in the time it takes to execute investor orders. Therefore, when investors place market orders — an order to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price — it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and getting execution.
Because Pink Open Market board stocks are usually not followed by analysts, there may be lower trading volume than for NASDAQ-listed securities.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures(as defined in Rule 13a-15e under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 the “Exchange Act”), our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms because of the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures. The material weaknesses relate to the lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as our financial reporting and all accounting functions are performed by an external consultant with no oversight by a professional with accounting expertise. Our CEO and CFO also do not possess accounting expertise and our Company does not have an audit committee. These material weaknesses are due to the Company’s lack of working capital to hire additional staff. To remedy this material weakness, we intend to engage another accountant to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will allow.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our second quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 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 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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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. |
Sales are recognized when promised services are started in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Sales for service contracts generally are recognized as the services are being

The Company does not generally require collateral for our accounts receivable. There were no accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Investments
The Company values its trading investments at market value based on the trading price at the balance sheet date. Any gains and losses are recorded in the period the gain or loss occurred. Investments include common stocks, exchange traded funds and money market mutual funds. Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are recorded as Trading Securities at Fair Value on the Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of such equity securities are reported in the Statements of Income.
Risk Concentrations
As of December 31, 2022, 68% of the Company’s revenues were received through accounting services rendered, and 100% of the rendered accounting services revenue was received through a related party. 16% of the revenues received were from publishing and distribution services rendered by the Company, while 33% of the publishing and distribution revenue was received through a related party. The remaining revenue of 16% was from the displaying of click-based and impressions ads located on the company’s websites.
During the year ending period of 2022, 73% of its revenues originated from a single related party with 27% of the revenue coming from third parties.
During the year ending period of December 31, 2021, 65% of the Company’s revenues were received through advertisement services, and 100% of the advertisement revenue received from advertisement services was through a related party. 32% of the revenues were from the Company’s publishing and distribution services, while 8% of the publishing and distribution services revenue was received through a related party. The remaining revenue of 3% was from the displaying of click-based and impressions ads located on the company’s websites.
General and Administrative Expenses
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:
| | Dec. 31, 2022 | | | Dec. 31, 2021 | |
Net operating loss | | $ | 908,653 | | | $ | 753,258 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (908,653 | ) | | | (753,258 | ) |
Net deferred tax asset | | | - | | | | - | |
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 Instruments, 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.
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.
December 31, 2021 | | Total | | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable 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 financial statements.
Research and Development
The Company spent no money for research and development cost for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Advertising Cost
The Company spent no money for advertisement for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Depreciation expense was $7,513 and $5,485 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, Crown Equity an accumulated deficit of $14,156,842 since its inception and had a working capital deficit of $1,382,838 negative cash flows from operations and limited business operations as of December 31, 2022. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to Crown Equity's ability to continue as a going concern. The 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. Management plans to continue raising funds through debt and equity financing to grow the business to profitability. This financing may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. There can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to assets would be necessary for the Company be unable to continue as going concern.
NOTE 3 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
The Company’s policy is to capitalize all property purchases over $1,000 and depreciates the assets over their useful lives of 3 to 7 years.
Property consists of the following at December 31, 2022 and 2021
| | December 31, 2022 | | | December 31, 2021 | |
Computers – 3 year estimated useful life | | $ | 108,622 | | | $ | 108,622 | |
Less – Accumulated Depreciation | | | (106,115 | ) | | | (98,602 | ) |

CROWN EQUITY HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED 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 online news and information source, as well as a 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.
On January 27, 2020, the Company re-acquired from American Video Teleconferencing Corp. (AVOT) the online business iB2BGlobal.com, since it had not received the shares promised during the original sale.
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 the 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.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Adoption of New Accounting Standard
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 in its first quarter of fiscal 2023 and found the adoption did not have a material effect or significant impact on its financial statements.
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 the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. 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 |
| | |
| | A 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 the 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. |
Sales are recognized when promised services are started in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Sales for service contracts generally are recognized as the services that are being provided.

Deferred Revenue | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
Deferred revenue is based on cash received or billings in excess of revenue recognized until revenue recognition criteria are met. Client prepayments are deferred and recognized over future periods as services are delivered or performed.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company establishes an allowance for bad debts through a review of several factors including historical collection experience, the current aging status of the customer accounts, and the financial condition of our customers. The Company does not generally require collateral for our accounts receivable. There were no accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Risk Concentrations
The Company does not hold cash in excess of federally insured limits.
During the six-month period ending June 30, 2023, the Company did not receive any revenues from its available services.
General and Administrative Expenses
Crown Equity's general and administrative expenses consisted of the following types of expenses during 2023 and 2022: Compensation expense, auto, travel and entertainment, legal and accounting, utilities, websites, 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 the disposition 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 the recoverability of an 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 the expected future cash flows at a rate we believe incorporates the time value of money. No indications of impairments were identified in 2023 or 2022.

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 periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. The number of potential anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation shares for the period ended June 30, 2023 is 21,485,067 and June 30, 2022 was 21,400,000.
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 June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
| | June 30, 2023 | | | Dec 31, 2022 | |
Net operating loss | | $ | 916,586 | | | $ | 908,653 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (916,586 | ) | | | (908,653 | ) |
Net deferred tax asset | | | - | | | | - | |
Uncertain Tax Position
The Company also follows 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable 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 financial statements.
Research and Development
The Company spent no money for research and development costs during the periods ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Advertising Cost
The Company spent $0 on advertising during the periods ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, Crown Equity has an accumulated deficit of $14,194,620 since its inception and had a working capital deficit of $1,418,624, negative cash flows from operations and limited business operations as of June 30, 2023. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to Crown Equity's ability to continue as a going concern. The 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. Management plans to continue raising funds through debt and equity financing to grow the business to profitability. This financing may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to assets would be necessary for the Company be unable to continue as going concern.

NOTE 10 – 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 2022.
The Company's deferred tax assets consisted of the following as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022:
| | June 31, 2023 | | | December 31, 2022 | |
Net operating loss | | $ | 916,586 | | | $ | 908,653 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (916,586 | ) | | | (908,653 | ) |
Net deferred tax asset | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company's accumulated net operating loss carry forward was approximately $4,364,697, and $4,326,920 respectively and will begin to expire in the year 2032. The deferred tax assets have been adjusted to reflect the recently enacted corporate tax rate of 21%.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
All expenses, including all allocated general administrative and overhead expenses, related to the offering or the organization of the Company will be borne by the Company. Neither the company nor any shareholder has paid any premium on any policy to insure or indemnify directors or officers against any liabilities arising from the registration, offering, or sale of these securities.
The following table indicates the expenses to be incurred in connection with the offering described in this registration statement. These expenses amounts are estimated and based on the minimum subscription amount.
SEC Filing Fee | | $ | 4,700.00 | |
Printing and Engraving Expenses | | | 200,000.00 | |
Legal Fees and Expenses | | | 15,000.00 | |
EDGAR Fees | | | 3,000.00 | |
Accounting Fees and Expenses | | | 12,000.00 | |
Miscellaneous | | | 10,000.00 | |
TOTAL | | $ | 244,700.00 | |
As more shares are sold, we anticipate legal fees to increase due to the likelihood of investors being from other states which could result in state blue sky securities filings. Although our legal fees are not contingent on the number of shares sold, it is likely that the legal fees will increase as our attorney will charge us for these filings. Also, as more shares are sold, our printing expenses will increase.
Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the liability of our officers and directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under Nevada Revised Statutes, which includes elimination of liability for monetary damages for defense of civil or criminal actions. The provision does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
Article Ten and Eleven of our Articles of Incorporation states:
Article X: No contract or other transaction between the corporation and any person, firm, association or corporation and no act of the corporation shall, in the absence of fraud, be invalidated, or in any way affected by the fact that any of the directors of the corporation are pecuniarily or otherwise interested, directly or indirectly, in such contract, transaction or act, or are related to or interested in such person, firm, association or corporation as a director, stockholder, officer, employee, member or otherwise. Any director so interested or related who is present at any meeting of the Board of Directors or committee of directors at which action on any such contract, transaction or act is taken may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at such meeting and may vote at such meeting with respect to such contract, transaction or act with like force and effect as if he were not so interested or related. No director so interested or related shall, because of such interest or relationship, be disqualified from holding his office or be liable to the corporation or to any stockholder or creditor thereof for any loss incurred by the corporation under or by reason of such contract, transaction or act, or be accountable for any gains or profits he may have realized therein.
Article XI: The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation; provided, however, that the grant of such authority shall not divest the stockholders of the power, nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws. In addition to the authority and powers hereinabove or by statute conferred upon the directors, the directors are hereby authorized and empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the corporation, subject to the provisions of the General Corporation Law, this Certificate of Incorporation and any Bylaws adopted by the stockholders of the corporation; provided, however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders of the corporation shall invalidate any prior act of the directors that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

*Previously filed
Item 17. Undertakings
1(a) Rule 415 Offering. If the small business issuer is registering securities under Rule 415 of the Securities Act (230.415 of this chapter), the small business issuer will:
(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; and
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to his registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (230.424 of this chapter);
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.
Registrant hereby undertakes to request acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement under Rule 461 of the Securities Act:
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer 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, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed by the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
