DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, all of which are based upon various estimates and assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable as of the date hereof. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "could," "should," "expect," "plan," "project," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "seek," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "pursue," "target," "continue," the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

| | |
| · | limitations on the availability of sufficient credit or cash flow to fund our working capital needs and capital expenditures and debt service; |
| | |
| · | difficulty in fulfilling the terms of our convertible note payables, which could result in a default and acceleration of our indebtedness under our convertible note payables; |
| | |
| · | the possibility that we issue additional shares of common stock or convertible securities that will dilute the percentage ownership interest of existing stockholders and may dilute the book value per share of our common stock; |
| | |
| · | the relatively low trading volume of our common stock, which could depress our stock price; |
| | |
| · | competition in the industries in which we operate, both from third parties and former employees, which could result in the loss of one or more customers or lead to lower margins on new projects; |
| | |
| · | a general reduction in the demand for our services; |
| | |
| · | our ability to enter into, and the terms of, future contracts; |
| | |
| · | uncertainties inherent in estimating future operating results, including revenues, operating income or cash flow; |

You should understand that the foregoing, as well as other risk factors discussed in this document and in Part I, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those experienced previously or those expressed in such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any information, including information concerning our controlling shareholder, net operating losses, borrowing availability or cash position, or any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this report.

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.
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 2024 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.

General and Administrative Expenses
Crown Equity's general and administrative expenses consisted of the following types of expenses during 2024 and 2023: 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 2024 or 2023.

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, 2024, and 2023. The number of potential anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation shares for the period ended June 30, 2024 is 21,485,067 and June 30, 2023 was 21,401,000.
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 2020 and 2021 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, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| | June 30, 2024 | | | Dec 31, 2023 | |

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, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
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.

The Company spent no money for research and development costs during the periods ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

These conditions raise substantial doubt as to Crown Equity's ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 9 – 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 2024.
The Company's deferred tax assets consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| | June 30, 2024 | | | December 31, 2023 | |
Net operating loss | | $ | 1,583,128 | | | $ | 928,560 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (1,583,128 | ) | | | (928,560 | ) |
Net deferred tax asset | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company's accumulated net operating loss carry forward was approximately $7,538,707 and $4,351,345 respectively. The deferred tax assets have been adjusted to reflect the recently enacted corporate tax rate of 21%.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three and six months ended June 30, 2024 Compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenues were $161, and $0 for the same period ended in 2023. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $462 and $0 for the six months ended Juen 30, 2023. Revenues were higher in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 due to earned revenues through click-based, and impression ads, and the publishing and disseminating of a press release.
Operating expenses were $547,633 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $13,006 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, $526,752 of the $547,633 was amortization of the warrant discount. Operating expenses were 800,643 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $36,306 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, $745,715 of the $800,643 was amortization of the warrant discount. The increase in operating expenses was an across the board increase of general expenses such as auditing and IT services and accrued wages for key people.
Other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were negative $(3,357) and negative $(347) for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Other expense was negative $(2,387,176) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and negative $(1,472) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was mainly due to the loss on conversion of related party payables and accounts payable to common stock in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and due to interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Interest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $6,909 and $1,472, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2024, Crown Equity had current assets of $2,363 and current liabilities of $322,688 resulting in a working capital deficit of $320,325. Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $37,943 compared to net cash used of $39,372 for the same period in 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we borrowed $33,366 from related parties.
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.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 12b-2 of the securities exchange act of 1934 (the “exchange act”) and are not required to provide information required under this Item.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) 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 first quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
