PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Historical Development
Crown Marketing is a Wyoming corporation (the "Company"). Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated December 2, 2013, the Company acquired all of the common stock of Okra Energy, Inc., a California corporation that was subscribed for on December 2, 2013 and then incorporated on December 18, 2013, in exchange for 16,155,746,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") at the closing of the Agreement on December 3, 2013. Immediately prior to the closing, there were 3,825,275,800 shares of Common Stock outstanding. After the closing, the beneficial owner of Okra Energy, Inc. shareholder, Jay Hooper, owned approximately 98.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) with Okra Energy, Inc. 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. The Company subsequently changed its name from Crown Marketing to Okra, Inc., but later changed the name of the Company back to Crown Marketing.
Concurrently with the merger, Jay Hooper was appointed as the sole director and President of the Company.
Through its subsidiary, OKRA Energy Inc., the Company leases a warehouse in El Monte, California, which is owned by a single member limited liability company owned by the Company's President and majority shareholder, which it plans to sublease in 2015. We will require approximately $1 million and up to 12 months to complete remediation and building refit prior to being able to re-lease the warehouse building to customers.
The Company continues to expand its business activities. A new subsidiary, Crown Laboratory Inc., has been formed to develop and market Chinese and other herbal remedies. Initial capitalization of $10,000 was provided by a loan from an entity controlled by the Company’s President. The loan is due on demand and bears interest at 4%. We expect to require additional funding for this business segment and have already commenced obtaining FDA approval for our products. In August, 2015, the lessor of the Company’s premises, which is also a related party, loaned $500,000 to Crown Laboratory.
In March 2015, the Company also began a joint venture, Crown Mobile, in which the Company owns a 50% interest. Crown Mobile is a MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) and markets Crown Mobile prepaid mobile telephone service using T-Mobile’s wireless network. Crown Mobile intends to offer ancillary services such as a proprietary debit card.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Okra Energy, Crown Laboratory, and Crown Mobile Inc, which is a joint venture that is 50% owned by the Company. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Our Business
Crown Marketing is a United States based publicly traded company, ticker symbol CWNM. It is focused on mergers and acquisitions of high-growth, high-profit, technology companies. Our current wholly owned subsidiaries are Okra Energy, Crown Laboratory and we have a joint venture with Crown Mobile, for which the Company owns a 50% interest. A description of our subsidiaries and joint venture is below.
Okra Energy is a subsidiary of Crown Marketing Inc. with the vision of providing healthy energy for everyday living. The goal and objective of Okra Energy is to be the leader in management of the cannabis industry and its related industries. Currently in the United States, there are 20 States and District of Columbia that have legalized the use of medical marijuana. Two states, Colorado and Washington have already legalized marijuana for recreational use. The legalization of marijuana is still in the infant stages but it is inevitable as more and more Americans (more than 50%) have approved the use of recreational marijuana according to a recent 2013 Gallop Poll. Okra Energy located in El Monte, California has an 180,000 square foot facility with its own ground water and high pressure gas lines. Construction and renovation is underway to build a facility that will allow industry leader to aggregate at one central location to exchange technologies and research ideas. We will require approximately $1 million and up to 12 months to complete remediation and building refit prior to being able to re-lease our warehouse building in to customers. This property will allow Okra Energy to house and develop green energy solutions, hydroponic, and agroponic technologies for the Cannabis Industry. Okra Energy’s main objective is to position itself to become the leader in managing and providing Standard Operating Procedures for the Cannabis Industry.
In August, 2015, Okra Energy assigned all of its interest in the lease to Crown Laboratory. The lessor is a related party and consented to the assignment of the interest. Although Okra Energy is continuing to develop its business plan, the Company is focusing most of its current resources to Crown Laboratory.

Crown Laboratory Inc. was formed in December 2014 in order to develop and market Chinese herbal and other remedies in the People’s Republic of China. Two products have been announced. Ionic Herb Liquid, patent pending, is an all-natural herbal tonic which is believed to aid in the functioning of cellular processes in the human body. Breathing Haze Catcher, also patent pending, is designed to be worn as a conventional surgical mask and to filter out airborne environmental pollutants which are endemic in the PRC.
The Company also entered into a letter of intent in July 27, 2015 to export alfalfa to the Peoples’ Republic of China.
Crown Mobile is taking advantage of the fast growing prepaid wireless industry to become a highly distinguished and recognized industry leader in the cellular communications industry. It is the goal of our company to become a leading distributor of wireless communications services through the distribution of prepaid SIM cards and new wireless phones. We believe our vision and strategy will revolutionize the traditional models and make us successful in the ultra-competitive world of wireless telecommunications. In order to achieve this goal, Crown Mobile’s critical success factors will be to identify emerging trends and integrate them into Crown Mobile’s operations, respond quickly to technology changes, provide high-quality services, continue to invest time and money in marketing and advertising, continue to expand into specialty markets, and stay ahead of the technology curve.
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. 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.
Competition
The Company competes with innumerable lessors of warehouse space in the East San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County. Competitive factors include location, price and building amenities. Crown Mobile competes with a large number of other entrants in the prepaid cellular business as well as conventional cellular service providers. Crown Laboratory faces competition from existing Chinese herbal remedy companies. Competitors in all these sectors are all better established with operating histories.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Through its subsidiary, OKRA Energy Inc., the Company leases a warehouse in El Monte, California, which is owned by a single member limited liability company owned by the Company’s President and majority shareholder, which it plans to sublease in 2015. We will require approximately $1 million and up to 12 months to complete remediation and building refit prior to being able to re-lease our warehouse building to customers. The lease commenced December 2, 2013, terminates May 31, 2020, and requires monthly lease payments of $30,000 beginning June 1, 2014. The monthly lease payment increases to $40,000 on June 1, 2015, $50,000 on June 1, 2016, $60,000 on June 1, 2017, and $70,000 on June 1, 2019. The lease includes a period of free rent from December 2, 2013 to May 31, 2014. The lease is an operating lease. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the entire lease period. Accordingly, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $590,769 of rent expense and a deferred rent liability as of June 30, 2015 of $535,384 related to the free rent. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company owed $400,000 and $30,000, respectively, under this lease obligation. In August, 2015, the lease was assigned to and assumed by Crown Laboratory, Inc., which intends to commence remediation for the sublease in the 2016 fiscal year.

Our shares are subject to Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. The rule defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The rule provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is:
- registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC;
- issued by a registered investment company;
- excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the issuer’s net tangible assets.
Trading in the penny stocks is subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Accredited investors, in general, include certain institutional investors and individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse.
For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of our securities and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be sent to the purchaser disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.
Holders
As of September 30, 2015, there were approximately 100 shareholders of record holding 20,181,021,800 shares of common stock. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of the common stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert their common stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.

Dividends
The Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock. The Company current intends to retain any earnings for use in its business, and therefore does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Disclaimer Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
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, the estimation on useful lives of property, plant and equipment, and accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Operating Lease
The Company leases a warehouse in El Monte, California, which is owned by a single member limited liability company owned by the Company’s President and majority shareholder, which it plans to sublease in 2015. We will require approximately $1 million and up to 12 months to complete remediation and building refit prior to being able to re-lease our warehouse building in to customers. The lease commenced December 2, 2013, terminates May 31, 2020, and requires monthly lease payments of $30,000 beginning June 1, 2014. The monthly lease payment increases to $40,000 on June 1, 2015, $50,000 on June 1, 2016, $60,000 on June 1, 2017, and $70,000 on June 1, 2019. The lease includes a period of free rent from December 2, 2013 to May 31, 2014. The lease is an operating lease. As of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company owed $400,000 and $30,000, respectively, under this lease obligation. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the entire lease period. Accordingly, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $590,770 of rent expense and a deferred rent liability as of June 30, 2015 of $535,384 related to the free rent. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company owed $400,000 and $30,000, respectively, under this lease obligation.
Results of Operations for Year ended June 30, 2015
The Company is engaged in the business of operating a warehouse building in Rosemead, California and in acquiring commercial properties, with a focus on properties in Los Angeles County in need of environmental remediation. We will require approximately $1 million and up to 12 months to complete remediation and building refit prior to being able to re-lease our warehouse building in Rosemead, California to customers. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we had a loss of $644,536 and $353,276, respectively. We expect that our level of operating expenses will increase during fiscal 2016.

In the year ended June 30, 2015, we recorded revenue of $43,370 from Crown Mobile and no revenue from Crown Laboratory or Okra Energy.

Liquidity
The accompanying consolidated 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 the development stage and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $644,536 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, and the Company's liabilities exceed its assets by $992,370 as of June 30, 2015. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As such, the accompanying consolidated 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 profitable operations, 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 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 were primarily met by extension of loans of $81,262 from our majority shareholder. As of June 30, 2015, we had a cash balance of $24,276. Our majority shareholder is providing all of our working capital and will continue to do so until at least June 30, 2016. We will require approximately $1 million and up to 12 months to complete remediation and building refit prior to being able to re-lease our warehouse space to customers. The Company is negotiating with the lessor of the property, Temple CB LLC, which is owned by our President, to obtain a loan in the amount of $500,000 to $1,000,000 for the renovation. In August 2015, $500,000 was loaned to Crown Laboratories in order to fund its business and the first stage of the remodel. Due to our limited operating history, we believe that we will otherwise need to sell common equity to raise the required funds. We have no other arrangement or understanding pursuant to which we might obtain such funding.
In August 2015, the Company issued $500,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the lessor of its premises, in satisfaction of $480,000 in accrued rent and $20,000 as a tenant deposit. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to a dividend of 4%, when and as declared, and is entitled to a liquidation preference of $1 per share plus unpaid dividends. The Company intends to issue 40,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the lessor each month in rent.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In February, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). ASU 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated 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 startup 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 affect our business plan.
Our future operating results are subject to our attaining certain milestones, including:
· the success of our develop and marketing efforts for our own products;
· our ability to obtain additional financing; and
· other risks which we identify in future filings with the SEC.
Any or all of our forward looking statements in this report 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
We do not have any contractual obligations or off balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Our financial statements appear at the end of this report beginning with the Index to Financial Statements on page 17.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
We have not had a change in, or disagreement with, our independent registered public accounting firm for the past two fiscal years.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Securities and Exchange act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f), for the period ended June 30, 2015. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible to design or supervise a process to be effected by our Board of Directors that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The policies and procedures include:
- maintenance of records in reasonable detail to accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets,
- provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors, and
- provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
For the year ended June 30, 2015, management has relied on the framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and based upon that framework, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Our management determined that there were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include, and is not required to include, an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

PART III
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Directors and Executive Officers
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 Jay Hooper, who was elected on December 2, 2013.
Jay Hooper, age 57, founded Temple CB, LLC in 2012 and Okra in October 2013. He is Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Registrant. From January 2009 to November, 2013, he has operated TRC International Corporation, a company engaged in Export Business. He founded ARC International Corp. in 1996 and was its Chief Executive Officer and a director from inception until December 2008, when that company ceased operations. Mr. Hooper guaranteed ARC's lines of credit with financial institutions, and Mr. Hooper filed a petition under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and was discharged from that guaranty in February 2010. From 1985 to 1996 he was the founder and President of American Research Corp., an early stage supplier of Dell Computer. From 1980 to 1985 he was founder and President of Plus and Plus Corporation, in Taiwan. Plus and Plus was the first company to display Chinese fonts on a PC. From 1978 to 1980 Mr. Hooper was Sales Manager of Pulse Technology, Inc., in Tokyo, Japan. Mr. Hooper has a degree in Electrical Engineering from the Oriental Institute of Technology College in Taiwan, and studied business management in the United States.
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 2015. Crown Marketing intends to adopt a code of ethics during calendar 2016.
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, 2015, 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 2015.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
As of June 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding accounts payable of $400,000 due to a limited liability company controlled by the Company’s President and majority shareholder, Mr. Jay Hooper, which represented a lease payment on an operating lease.
As of June 30, 2015, $81,262 was due the Company’s President and majority shareholder, Mr. Jay Hooper, for advances made to the Company to pay for operating expenses. The advances are non-interest bearing and due on demand. In view of the Company’s limited operations and resources, Mr. Hooper did not receive any compensation from the Company for the year ended June 30, 2015.
The Company leases a warehouse in El Monte, California, which is owned by a single member limited liability company owned by the Company’s President and majority shareholder, which it plans to sublease in 2015. We will require approximately $1 million and up to 12 months to complete remediation and building refit prior to being able to re-lease our warehouse building to customers. The lease commenced December 2, 2013, terminates May 31, 2020, and requires monthly lease payments of $30,000 beginning June 1, 2014. The monthly lease payment increases to $40,000 on June 1, 2015, $50,000 on June 1, 2016, $60,000 on June 1, 2017, and $70,000 on June 1, 2019. The lease includes a period of free rent from December 2, 2013 to May 31, 2014. The lease is an operating lease. As of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company owed $400,000 and $30,000, respectively, under this lease obligation. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the entire lease period. Accordingly, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $590,770 of rent expense and a deferred rent liability as of June 30, 2015 of $535,384 related to the free rent. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company owed $400,000 and $30,000, respectively, under this lease obligation.
Director Independence
Currently, the Company does not have any independent directors. Since the Company’s 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.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
Audit Fee
The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of Crown Marketing and Subsidiaries annual financial statement and review of financial statements included in our periodic reports and services normally provided by the accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements were $21,000 for fiscal year ended 2015 and $7,284 for fiscal year ended 2014.
Audit-Related Fees
We did not have fees for other audit related services for fiscal years ended 2015 and 2014.
14
Tax Fees
We did not have fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for the fiscal years 2015 and 2014.
All Other Fees
There were no other aggregate fees billed in either of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, other than the services reported above.
Pre-approval Policies
We do not have a standing audit committee currently serving and as a result our Board of Directors performs the duties of an audit committee. Our Board of Directors evaluates and approves, in advance, the scope and cost of the engagement of an accounting firm before the accounting firm renders audit and non-audit services. We do not rely on pre-approval policies and procedures.
