These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. Crown Marketing expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company's expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based. This discussion should be read together with the financial statements and other financial information included in this Form 10-K. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q to be filed by the Company subsequent to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company.
Background
Crown Marketing, a Wyoming corporation (the "Company" us or we) was incorporated on July 6, 2010 and is the successor by merger to Space Launch Financial, Inc. ("SPCL"). SPCL had its stated objective the funding of satellite launches, but did not generate any revenues in this proposed business. In July 2010, SPCL underwent a holding company reorganization under Delaware law, pursuant to which it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPCL Holding Corporation, and SPCL, together with its assets and liabilities, was sold to a non-affiliated third party. SPCL Holding Corporation subsequently reincorporated in Wyoming by merger into the Company.
The Company carries on all of its operations through its Wyoming subsidiary, Green4Green, which was formed on July 8, 2009, and Crown Nutraceuticals, which was incorporated on March 28, 2013. The Company, which then had 890,800 shares outstanding (including 317,100 shares held by management), acquired Green4Green (wholly owned by then Management) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement). The Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Green4Green in exchange for 40,000,000 newly issued shares of the Company's Common Stock. Pursuant to the Agreement, the issued and outstanding common shares of Green4Green were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for common shares of the Company. After the merger was completed, the Green4Green shareholders owned approximately 98% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) with Green4Green deemed to be the accounting acquirer and the Company deemed to be the legal acquirer. As a result of the reverse merger, the historical accumulated deficit of SPCL was eliminated. Green 4Green is a wholesale distributor of generic pharmaceuticals. On September 9, 2013, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1, file no. 333-176776 containing complete "Form 10" information.
In June 2013, we acquired patent rights related to controlled release technology from an unaffiliated party. In September, 2013, the Company acquired two additional patents and related intellectual property from Farrington Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a company controlled by our President and Chief Financial Officer, by the issuance of a promissory note in the amount of $140,000 and 122,600,000 restricted shares of common stock. The intellectual property will be held by the Company's wholly-owned licensing subsidiary. The patents protect broad claims for novel controlled release technology applicable to oral and transdermal pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, and other applications. In March 2013, we commenced operating our nutraceutical division.
Our Business
Historically we have been engaged in the wholesale distribution of non-addictive generic pharmaceutical products to non-US distributors. With the September 2013 acquisition of the controlled release technology (CDDT), we have devoted most of our resources to (a) seeking to license CDDT to pharmaceutical companies, (b) developing one or more proprietary applications of CDDT to generic pharmaceuticals and/or over-the-counter medications, and (c) developing other applications of CDDT including the nutraceuticals market. In the last quarter of 2013, we also expanded into the nutraceutical market, by financing the marketing of diet products.

The US Pharmaceutical Industry
The following italicized text is taken from the US government website at www. www.selectusa.commerce.gov/industry-snapshots/pharmaceutical-industry-united-states:
The U.S. Pharmaceutical Industry
The United States is the worlds largest market for pharmaceuticals and the world leader in biopharmaceutical research. U.S. firms conduct 80 percent of the worlds research and development in biotechnology and hold the intellectual property rights to most new medicines. In 2010, the pharmaceutical sector employed approximately 272,000 people (source: Bureau of Labor Statistics), and according to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), those manufacturers spent $67.4 billion on research and development in 2010.
The markets for biologics, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, and generics show the most potential for growth and have become increasingly competitive. Biologics, valued at $67 billion in 2010 (source: IMS Health), account for a quarter of all new drugs in clinical trials or awaiting Food and Drug Administration approval. OTC market growth will be driven by a growing aging population and consumer trend to self-medication, and the conversion of drugs from prescription to non-prescription or OTC status. Generic drug sales in the United States were valued at $78 billion in 2010 (source: IMS Health).
The U.S. market is the worlds largest free-pricing market for pharmaceuticals and has a favorable patent and regulatory environment. Product success is largely based on competition in product quality, safety and efficacy, and price. U.S. government support of biomedical research, along with its unparalleled scientific and research base and innovative biotechnology sector, make the U.S. market the preferred home for growth in the pharmaceutical industry.
Industry Subsectors
Originator chemically synthesized drugs and biotechnology-derived drugs are developed as a result of extensive research and development (R&D) and clinical trials in both humans and animals. The originator relies on patents and other forms of intellectual property rights to justify the investment required tobring a product to market.
Generic drugs are duplicative copies of originator chemically-synthesized drugs that contain the same active ingredient, are identical in strength, dosage form, and route of administration. The prices of generic drugs are typically lower than the prices of originator drugs, particularly in the U.S. market where they are typically sold at a substantial discount from originator drug prices.
Over-the-Counter (OTC) drugs are distinguished from originator and generic drugs in that consumers do not need a prescription to purchase the drug. OTC drugs are considered by regulators to be safe for self-diagnosis and self-medication.
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and Excipients. Medication, in dosage form, is composed of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients. APIs are the ingredients that make drugs effective. Excipients are inert substances that give a medication its form, such as cornstarch (to make a tablet) or sterile water (to make a liquid) and serve as a delivery vehicle to transport the active ingredient to the site in the body where the drug is intended to exert its action.
3
Biosimilars, or Follow-on Biologics, are versions of biological products that reference the originator product in applications submitted to a regulatory body. With the signing into law of healthcare reform legislation in March 2010, the FDA is authorized to approve biosimilars or follow-on versions of biologic drugs that were approved under the Public Health Service Act. The FDA is in the process of developing implementing guidelines and procedures to determine the extent of testing necessary to establish similarity of a follow-on product with a reference originator biologic.
US pharmaceutical market sales were $279 billion in 2009. Pharmaceutical companies are believed to be under tremendous pressure from generics: from 2011 to 2014, drugs representing sales of $95 billion will go off patent. We believe that our technology can be viewed by the industry as a way for pharmaceutical companies to extend the value of their products using our CDDT.
Controlled Drug Delivery Issues
Our controlled drug delivery technology is patented and, we believe, revolutionizes drug delivery. Although compressed medicine tablets and medicine capsules were invented in the 19th century, the medicine pill dates from ancient times. Tablets or capsules deliver their active ingredients to the bloodstream by first dissolving in the stomach. For every drug there is an optimal therapeutic level. Too little, and the drug is less effective and even harmful (eg, with antibiotics, low amounts merely build resistance). Too much can be toxic and cause undesirable side effects. The rate at which the active ingredient is made available to the bloodstream depends on physiological factors such as stomach pH levels and the chemical characteristics of the active ingredient. Typically, drugs enter the bloodstream at a high level and the plasma concentration declines over time according to the plasma half life of the drug and the individual patient. For example, after 18-50 hours after ingestion, the blood plasma concentration of the muscle relaxant Clonazapam is half of the initial plasma concentration. Ibuprofen has a half life of 2-3 hours. Chemotherapy drug Oxaliplatin has a half life of 14 minutes.
Generally speaking, the shorter the half life, the more frequent of an administration is required; and the larger variation in blood plasma concentration (high concentration upon initial ingestion and low concentration after the passage of time). In order to ensure sufficient therapeutic levels of the drug, dosage is often a compromise between the toxicity of the initial concentration and the minimum therapeutic level required. Until CDDT, controlled drug delivery was largely accomplished primarily by chemical means. Either the active ingredient is given a dissolvable coating, is combined with fillers or excipients which slow absorption, or is provided as part of another chemical compound which metabolizes over time into the active ingredient. The principal drawbacks with using chemical means to control oral or transdermal drug delivery are that the rate of the chemical reaction varies among individuals, so that it is not precise, and secondly, formulating, testing, and regulatory approval of the chemical compound can be very expensive and lengthy, since the manufacturer must account for the interaction of the active ingredient and the chemical compound. This extended regulatory process means that a manufacturer may need to obtain regulatory approval twice: once for the original formulation of the drug, and again for the controlled release formula.
CDDT ensures that the optimum therapeutic level of the drug is available to the human body, over a longer time, often 24 hours, and does so in a simple, elegant fashion which is uniform among individuals and usually does not interact with the active ingredient, simplifying regulatory approvals.

How our CDDT Works.
The Company's CDDT works using the principle of diffusion, not via chemical means. No chemical compound or coating is required for water soluble drugs utilizing CDDT; non-soluble drugs only require employment of an emulsifier. The tablet is formed in the shape set forth in the diagram above, and covered with an impermeable coating. An orifice is then laser drilled through the coating on the top of the tablet. The rate at which the drug exits the pill is a mathematical formula derived based on the angle of the gradient, the size of the drug molecule, and the size of the orifice. Much like gravity causes an hourglass to empty at a constant rate and time, diffusion causes our CDDT pill to release the drug at an exact, constant rate during the its passage through the gastrointestinal tract--regardless of the individual patient's gastrointestinal chemistry. Having delivered its contents, the pill is harmlessly eliminated by the body.
Since CDDT does not require the use of any chemical agent to accomplish controlled delivery, troublesome interactions with controlled release chemicals are simplified and completely eliminated with the majority of drugs which are water soluble. We believe that we can license CDDT to pharmaceutical manufacturers which seek to introduce a controlled release version of their drugs, in a more timely and cost effective manner.
We are also engaged in preliminary development of applications of CDDT to generics and over-the-counter medications and nutraceuticals which we may market and sell under our own label. The development of our own product lines would be much more costly and complicated than licensing, but would probably result in higher revenues to the Company.
Veterinary and Other Applications
We intend to develop applications of our CDDT to the veterinary industry, focusing on the home companion animals (dogs and cats). Since pet owners at times have difficulty administering medications to their pets, we believe that CDDT can enable the prescribing of one pill a day and ease patient compliance.
CDDT is also applicable to any situation in which a dosage is desired to be administered on a measured level over time, such as mosquito control in lakes and ponds.
Existing Generic Pharmaceutical Business
We will continue to devote a limited amount of our resources to developing our generic distribution business as it can eventually be synergistic with our CDDT products.
Nutraceutical Business
In March 2013, we began a venture with a non affiliated party, to market diet products including extracts of green coffee bean and raspberry ketone. Under the venture, the other party developed and paid for the product, and we paid all the media marketing costs. We received the net proceeds after the cost of the product. In the three months ended June 30, 2013, we had sales of $6,627. Sales have continued in fiscal 2014 at approximately the same level.

Employees and Outside Services
The Company's only employee at the present time is its sole executive officer and director, who devotes full time to the affairs of the Company. (See "Management"). Remaining administrative (non-policy making) officers and consultants and technical personnel such as marketing specialists are being compensated as independent contractors. We pay these persons on a contract basis as required. Manufacturing of our proprietary products will also be contracted out to independent third parties.
Intellectual Property
We currently are the assignee on two US patents relating to CDDT, both entitled Sustained Release Delivery Systems for Solutes, patent number -2001-0039414, expiring in 2018 and 2003-06569152, expiring in 2020.
The intellectual property supporting the CDDT is comprehensively formulated to allow for the broad application of the technology with regard to the mode of administration, the desired release pattern, the type of compounds employed and the dosage form. The resulting platform encompasses the medicinal use of the technology for the enteral and parenteral administration of drugs with provisions made for local and systemic parenteral uses. In addition, the technology can be employed to regulate time to first release of drug, extent of initial bolus release and duration of controlled release, with considerations given to the different gastric and intestinal environments. The technology is suited for the formulation of ethical and OTC drugs, including the branding of generics. Non-medicinal applications, though not explicitly addressed in this document, include the use of the technology in the areas of water treatment, odor control and experimental research.
In particular, the patent applications cover drug delivery devices that allow for linear, sustained-release of solutes with adjustable initial release kinetics. The drug delivery device is comprised of at least one dispenser having a solute reservoir element defined by a fluid-impervious or solute-impervious wall and having an orifice, source element, in fluid registry with a gradient forming element that has a release orifice. It is the gradient forming element that prevents an initial burst and release of solute while promoting controlled, prolonged near-zero-order release.
We are also in the process of developing other intellectual property and are the assignee on an additional provisional patent application relating to controlled release on a weight loss formulation
Maintaining patents, defending patents against infringement claims, and prosecuting competitors who might seek to infringe upon our patents can be costly. We have limited resources for patent litigation.
Competition
CDDT will compete with existing technologies, primarily chemical based, for the controlled release of drugs. Our competitors generally have more financial resources and longer operating history than we do. We believe that we can compete on the basis of better technology, but there can be no assurance that competitors will not attempt to design around our patent nor that new technologies could be invented. The worldwide generic pharmaceutical distribution industry is highly competitive and largely fragmented. Some of the strongest competition will likely arise from the countless online distributors that cater to regional markets.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Disclaimer Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which we indicate by words or phrases such as anticipate, expect, intend, plan, will, we believe, believes, management believes and similar language. Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and elsewhere in this report are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The factors listed in the section captioned Risk Factors, as well as any cautionary language in this report; provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected. Except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events after the date of this Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Principles of consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
Use of estimates. In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, deferred income taxes and the estimation on useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Results of Operations
We had losses of $108,800 and $56,261 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The increase in loss is due to the increase in operating expenses, primarily related to the costs of the new nutraceuticals division, which commenced in the third fiscal quarter, as well as increased operating costs related to developing and marketing the controlled release technology acquired in September 2012. . In contrast, our business in fiscal 2012 was primarily focused on wholesaling generic pharmaceuticals.. We expect that our level of operating expenses will continue at the current level for fiscal 2013, and may possibly increase if we are able to exploit the controlled release technology, which is being evaluated at this time by our industry consultants.
9
Revenue
. We had limited sales of $6,627 in the June 30, 2013 quarter (from the nutraceuticals division) and as compared $4,500 for the year ended June 30, 2012 (from resales of generic pharamaceuticals). The 2013 sales represented sales in a new division, financing the marketing of nutraceuticals, and we cannot predict whether results will continue in future quarters.
General and Administrative expenses.
General Administrative expenses were $114,001 for the year ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $60,305 for the year ended June 30, 2012. General and administrative costs were primarily composed of costs related to our status as a public company, which were legal and accounting expenses of $29,799, and press releases and transfer agent fees of $8,709; rent expense of $2,541 and telephone and other office expenses of $9,272; patent costs of $666, and travel costs of $25,069 incurred in marketing the Company's products. In addition, under the contract, Crown Nutraceuticals pays all the advertisting costs for the products (green tea extract and raspberry ketone diet products) while the other party developed the product, packaging and marketing materials, and is responsible for all the costs of inventory and fulfillment. The advertisingcosts paid by this division were $28,986 in fiscal 2013. In comparison, operating expenses in the 2012 fiscal year primarily comprised of $44,871 in filing fees on our patents, and public company-related costs of $5,127. The Company believes that the new nutraceutical enterprise will recoup all of the advertising costs by December 31, 2013. We cannot predict whether this new business segment will be profitable nor whether the controlled release technology will be successfully exploited. Should we be able to obtain additional funding to market the controlled release technology, our marketing expenses will increase substantially as well in fiscal 2014.
Liquidity
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company is still in development stage and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $108,800 for the year ended June 30, 2013, and the Company's liabilities exceed its assets by $227,273 as of June 30, 2013. The Company has received limited revenues to date. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As such, the accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's management plans to continue as a going concern revolves around its ability to achieve, as well as raise necessary capital to pay ongoing general and administrative expenses of the Company. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional sources of capital and the success of the Company's plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations.
Our cash needs in the year ended June 30, 2013 were primarily met by extension of loans of $44,694 from a shareholder, increase in accounts payable from an office director, and the exercise of warrants. As of June 30, 2013 we had cash on hand of $19,746., During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, 24,000,000 warrants were exercised that entitled us to receive proceeds of $168,000. During the year ended June 30, 2013 we received $804000 from the proceeds of the exercise of warrants. Subsequently we received $79,000 in July 2013 that were due us from on the warrant subscription receivable and we believe we will be able to receive, prior to December 31, 2013, the remaining due us from warrants exercised, and that this amount will cover our operating expenses through that time. After December 31, 2013, we will need approximately $750,000 for marketing and development to fully fund our marketing plans. Due to our limited operating history, we believe that we will need to sell common equity to raise the required funds. We have no arrangement or understanding pursuant to which we might obtain such funding.
10
Our officer/shareholder is providing all of our working capital other than those from warrant exercises and will continue to do so until at least June 30, 2014. During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to an entity owned by a shareholder and former director of the Company for the aggregate principal sum of $9,666. The unpaid principal sum, together with all other amounts advanced to the Company by the lender from time to time, shall bear interest at 4% per annum until paid, and shall be due and payable on demand. In September 2012, the lender advanced an additional $700 to the Company under the same terms. As of June 30, 2013, notes payable to this related party had a balance of $10,366.
In September 2012, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to an entity controlled by Mr. Learned Hand, the Companys Chief Executive and Financial Officer and director, for the principal sum of $140,000. The promissory note was issued in connection with the assignment of two patents and the related intellectual property (see Note 6). The unpaid principal sum of the promissory note bears interest at 4% per annum until paid. The unpaid principal sum and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable five years from the date of the promissory note (September 2017). As of June 30, 2013, the promissory note of $140,000 remained outstanding.
In March 2013, Mr. Hand loaned the Company $25,000 to capitalize the Crown Nutraceuticals subsidiary. This loan is represented by a demand note bearing interest at a rate of 4% per annum. As of June 30, 2013, the loan of $25,000 remained outstanding.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)and the SEC; however these pronouncements are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Companys present or future financial statements.
Forward Looking Statements
Information included in this report includes forward looking statements, which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as may, expect, anticipate, believe, estimate, or continue, or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. The statements in "Risk Factors" and other statements and disclaimers in this report constitute cautionary statements identifying important factors, including risks and uncertainties, relating to the forward-looking statements that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.
Since we have generated limited revenues, we are a development stage company as that term is defined in Section 915 - Development Stage Entities, of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Our activities have mostly been devoted to seeking capital; seeking supply contracts and development of a business plan. Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our financial statements, relating to the uncertainty of our business as a going concern, due to our lack of operating history or current revenues, its nature as a start up business, management's limited experience and limited funds. We do not believe that conventional financing, such as bank loans, is available to us due to these factors. We have no bank line of credit available to us. Management believes that it will be able to raise the required funds for operations from one or more future offerings, in order to effect our business plan.
Our future operating results are subject to our attaining certain milestones, including:
o our success in entering into favorable arrangements with pharmaceutical licensees;
o the success of our develop and marketing efforts for our own products;
o our ability to obtain additional financing; and
o other risks which we identify in future filings with the SEC.
11
Any or all of our forward looking statements in this prospectus and in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward looking statement can be guaranteed. In addition, we undertake no responsibility to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances which occur after the date of this prospectus.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Crown Marketing
(A Development Stage Company)
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crown Marketing, a development stage company, (the Company) as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period July 8, 2009 (inception) to June 30, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period July 8, 2009 (inception) to June 30, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements 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 has suffered recurring losses, and has received limited revenues to date, which have resulted in a negative working capital and a stockholders deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AND THE PERIOD JULY 8, 2009 (INCEPTION) TO JUNE 30, 2013
NOTE 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company
Crown Marketing, a Wyoming corporation (the "Company") is the successor by merger to SPCL Holding Corporation. On July 14, 2010 the Company acquired Green4Green pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement). Green4Green was organized as a Wyoming corporation on July 8, 2009. The Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Green4Green in exchange for 4,000,000 newly issued shares of the Company's Common Stock. Pursuant to the Agreement, the issued and outstanding common shares of Green4Green were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for common shares of the Company. After the merger was completed, the Green4Green shareholders owned approximately 98% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) with Green4Green deemed to be the accounting acquirer and the Company deemed to be the legal acquirer. The financial statements presented herein are those of the accounting acquirer given the effect of the issuance of 957,600 shares of common stock upon completion of the transaction. After the acquisition, the Company closed on the issuance of 2,400,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 24,000,000 shares of common stock for cash of $12,000 (See Note 5).
The Company is engaged in the development of its controlled release technology and, through its Crown Nutraceuticals subsidiary incorporated in March 2013, marketing nutraceutical products. The Company has not realized significant revenues from its planned principal business purpose and is considered to be in its development state in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915, Development Stage Entities (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development State Enterprises.)
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crown Nutraceuticals, Green4Green and the Company. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
By resolution of the Board of Directors dated August 30, 2012, the Company authorized a 10-for-one forward stock split for all shareholders of record as of October 2, 2012. All share amounts in these financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split as if it had been effected at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes sales in accordance with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is not recognized until title and risk of loss is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery of goods, and objective evidence exists that customer acceptance provisions have been met.

NOTE 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Income tax
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, we provide for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not.
Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include among others, the fair value of shares of common stock issued for services. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are determined using authoritative guidance issued by the FASB, with the exception of the application of the guidance to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities as permitted. Fair value is defined in the authoritative guidance as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3Unobservable inputs based on the Company's assumptions.
The Company is required to use observable market data if available without undue cost and effort.

NOTE 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Companys financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Management has estimated that the carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and issuable during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and all common equivalent shares outstanding during the period in which they are dilutive. Common equivalent shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants or other convertible securities such as convertible notes. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the weighted average common shares outstanding totaled 158,951,984 and 43,467,600, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, common stock equivalents were comprised of warrants exercisable into 2,400,000 shares of the Companys common stock. No warrants were outstanding as of June 30, 2013. For the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, common stock equivalent shares have been excluded from the calculation of loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company periodically issues stock instruments, including shares of its common stock, stock options, and warrants to purchase shares of its common stock to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option awards issued and vesting to employees in accordance with authorization guidance of the FASB whereas the value of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock vest and expire according to the terms established at the grant date.
The Company accounts for stock options and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs of $28,986 were incurred during the year ended June 30, 2013 and are included in general and administrative expesenses.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), and the SEC; however these pronouncements are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Companys present or future financial statements.

NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company is still in development stage and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $108,800 for the year ended June 30, 2013, and the Company's liabilities exceed its assets by $227,273 as of June 30, 2013. The Company has received limited revenues to date. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's management plans to continue as a going concern revolves around its ability to achieve, as well as raise necessary capital to pay ongoing general and administrative expenses of the Company. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional sources of capital and the success of the Company's plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations.
NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES
As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company had outstanding accounts payable due to Mr. Learned Hand, which represented expenses paid by him on behalf of the Company. Mr. Learned Hand did not have any relationship with the Company as of June 30, 2012; however in September 2012, he was elected as the Companys director, and Chief Executive and Financial Officer following the resignation of predecessor director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Igor Produn. As of June 30, 2012, $44,872 was due Mr. Hand. During the year ended June 30, 2013, Mr. Hand was repaid $40,000 of this amount, and was advanced an additional $52,227 during the year ended June 30, 2013 for reimbursement of Company of expenses. In addition, interest of $4,996 was accrued on the long term notes beneficially held by him (see Note 4), resulting in a balance due him of $62,004 as of June 30, 2013. The advances are unsecured, due on demand, and non-interest bearing.
In view of the Companys limited operations and resources, Mr. Hand did not receive any compensation from the Company for the years ended June 30, 2013.

The unpaid principal sum, together with all other amounts advanced to the Company by the lender from time to time, shall bear interest at 4% per annum until paid, and shall be due and payable on demand.

(b)

The unpaid principal sum and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable five years from the date of the promissory note (September 2017). As of June 30, 2013, the promissory note of $140,000 remained outstanding and was classified as non-current liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 5 INCOME TAXES
As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $189,060 and $80,260, which expire in varying amounts between 2018 and 2028. Realization of this potential future tax benefit is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carryforward. The deferred tax asset related to this (and other) potential future tax benefits has been offset by a valuation allowance in the same amount. The amount of the deferred tax asset ultimately realizable could be increased in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are revised.
Deferred income tax assets of $66,530 and $28,091 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively were offset in full by a valuation allowance.
The components of the Company's net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows:

NOTE 5 STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIENCY
The Company has authorized an unlimited number of shares of preferred stock, no par value, with such rights, preferences and designation and to be issued in such series as determined by the Board of Directors. No shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding at June 30, 2013 or June 30, 2012.
In July 2010, the Company sold 240,000 units of its common stock for an aggregate consideration of $12,000. Each unit consisted of 10 shares of common stock and 100 Class A warrants to acquire a share of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $0.007 per share with expiration date on December 31, 2014 (24,000,000 warrants in the aggregate).
In March 2011, the Company sold 110,000 shares of its common stock for cash for net proceeds of $1,100.
The officer and director contributed $7,200 in cash to the Company in March, 2011, and $60 in the quarter ended December 31, 2011.
Class A Warrants to purchase 8,000,000 shares were exercised for cash of $56,000 on August 14, 2012, and the remaining Class A Warrants to purchase 16,000,000 shares were exercised on August 28, 2012 in exchange for promissory notes in the amount of $112,000.

The Company has agreed to extend these notes until December 31, 2013; one note for $28,000 was paid during the March 2013 quarter. During the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company accrued interest receivable of $3,328 in connection with these notes. As of June 30, 2013, the balance of the notes receivable including the accrued interest aggregating $87,473 was reflected as subscription receivable on the accompanying balance sheet. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the Company collected $79,000 of the subscription receivable.

The assignment took effect on September 22, 2012. The Company has valued the patent at the predecessor basis in the property exchanged because the assignor gained control of the Company after the acquisition.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported accurately, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and within the required time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our acting Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report (June 30, 2013) , we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to enable us to accurately record, process, summarize and report certain information required to be included in the Companys periodic SEC filings within the required time periods, and to accumulate and communicate to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations ("COSO"). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report on internal control over financial reporting does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this Annual Report.

Item 10.
DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.
The members of the Board of Directors of Crown Marketing serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors have been elected. The officers serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The following are the directors, executive officers and key employees of Crown Marketing.
Our management team is headed by experienced Chief Executive Officer Learned Hand, who was elected in September 2013.
Mr. Hand has been an executive in the pharmaceutical industry for more than a decade. From 2000 to 2003 he was employed by Warren Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as its Vice President - Chief Operating Officer, where he was an integral part of Warren's founding and launch. Warren Pharmaceuticals pioneered the discovery and development of a novel therapeutic class of protein-based drugs named tissue protective cytokines (TPCs). TPCs have potent protective effects that diminish and reverse the underlying cellular damage common to many significant diseases. The biological activities of TPCs are transduced through a novel tissue protective cytokine receptor identified by Warren scientists. Tissue Protective Cytokines may have the potential to treat such devastating illnesses and injuries as stroke, heart attack, spinal cord injury, acute macular edema, and acute kidney failure. Warren has licensed the worldwide development and commercialization rights to the central and peripheral nervous system indications of its TPCs other than ophthalmic and diabetes to the Danish pharmaceutical company H. Lundbeck A/S.
From January 2000 to December 2003 Learned was Executive Director of the Kenneth S. Warren Institute, a non-profit medical research facility. In 1999 he founded HFC, a private seed venture capital corporation, which has made many internet and biotechnology related investments and is a founder of Medibuy.com. Medibuy.com was the pioneer in business-to-business internet marketplace for the purchase and sale of medical products. Mr. Hand also commercially introduced a cigarette filter that significantly reduced carcinogens. From 1994 to 1999, he served as Vice President at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. He has a BA cum laude from Amherst College.
Code of Ethics
Crown Marketing has not adopted a code of ethics which applies to the chief executive officer, or principal financial and accounting officer, because of our level of operations of the public entity in 2013. Crown Marketing intends to adopt a code of ethics during calendar 2013.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Crown Marketing does not have either an Audit Committee or a financial expert on the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors believes that obtaining the services of an audit committee financial expert is not economically rational at this time in light of the costs associated with identifying and retaining an individual who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert, the limited scope of our operations and the relative simplicity of our financial statements and accounting procedures .
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Crown Marketing's officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and ten percent stockholders are required by regulation to furnish Crown Marketing with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. During the year ended June 30, 2013, Crown Marketing believes that all such persons failed to file the reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, including Forms 3, 4 and 5. Based on representations submitted by such people, Crown Marketing does not believe that such individuals purchased or sold any Crown Marketing Common Stock during 2013.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The officer and director during fiscal 2012 and 2011, Igor Produn, advanced $3,809 to the Company during the year ended June 30, 2011. This amount was due on demand and bore no interest. No amounts are owed as of June 30, 2013.
A party related to a shareholder has loaned the Company $9,666 during the year ended June 30, 2012, and $700 in the year ended June 30, 2013, pursuant to a promissory note. The loan bears interest at 4% and the accrued interest as of June 30, 2013 was $500.
A consultant, Learned Hand, expended $49,974 on the Company's behalf during the three months ended June 30, 2013. These amounts are due on demand and are unsecured. Mr. Hand was elected to the Board of Directors and as an officer in September 2012. During the year ended Jeun 30, 2013, Mr. Hand was repaid $40,000 of this amount, and advanced an additional $52,227 during the year ended June 30, 2013 for Company expenses, resulting in a balance due him of $57,008 as of June 30, 2013.
By resolution dated September 20, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 122,600,000 restricted shares and a five-year, 4% promissory note in the amount of $140,000 for the assignment of two patents and the related intellectual property from a non-affiliated party, Farrington Pharmaceuticals, LLC. The assignment took effect on September 22, 2013, at which time Mr. Hand, whois the spouse of Farrington's control person, was elected as officer and director. The face amount of the promissory note has been represented to be the approximate cost for the development of the patent.
. In view of the Companys limited operations and resources, Mr. Hand did not receive any compensation from the Company for the years ended June 30, 2013.
Director Independence
Currently, the Company does not have any independent directors. Since the Companys Common Stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of independence of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination.
Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2), an "independent director" is a "person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company's board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director."
We do not currently have a separately designated audit, nominating or compensation committee. However, we do intend to comply with the independent director and committee composition requirements in the future.
