FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
MAY NOT PROVE ACCURATE
When used
in this Form 10-K, the words “anticipated”, “estimate”, “expect”, and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions including the
possibility that the Company will fail to generate projected revenues. Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
anticipated, estimated or projected.
OVERVIEW
The
following discussion of the financial condition, changes in financial condition
and results of operations of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the
Company and related notes included therein.
The
Company was incorporated on August 31, 1995 as Visioneering Corporation. On
January 12, 1996, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change
its name to Asiamerica Energy Corporation, to Care Financial Corporation in
April 29, 1996 and to Trump Oil Corporation on May 15, 1997. In 1999, the
Company acquired 20/20 Web Design, Inc., a Colorado corporation wholly owned by
Crown Partners, Inc. As part of that transaction, the Company issued 8,620,000
shares of its common stock to Crown Partners with the result that Crown Partners
owned 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The Company also
approved a ten-for-one reverse stock split as part of that
transaction.
Since the
agreements described above, the Company has financed its activities through the
distribution of equity capital, including private placements of its common stock
resulting in the Company raising capital of $853,494 from 1995 to the present.
The Company used the proceeds from these offerings to fund its proposed
operations, to pay salaries, to pay general and administrative expenses and any
necessary expenses.
The
Company entered into an agreement to acquire Sanitec™ Services of Hawaii, Inc.
("SSH") from its majority shareholder, Crown Partners, in November, 2003. The
Company was unable to secure the funding necessary to complete this transaction
and SSH ceased operations in May, 2005. The Company paid a non-refundable
deposit to Crown Partners of $45,520, of which $20,000 was advanced to SSH and
Crown allowed the Company to retain the remaining $25,520 to pay the Company's
obligations. The Company issued shares of its common stock in restricted form to
Crown in December 2007, which cancelled this debt.
The
Company will attempt to carry out its business plan as discussed below. The
Company cannot predict to what extent its lack of liquidity and capital
resources will hinder its business plan prior to the consummation of a business
combination.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES
Since
inception, the Company has experienced no significant change in liquidity or
capital resources or stockholders’ equity other than receipts of proceeds from
offerings of its capital stock. The Company received $230,000 from an offering
conducted under Rule 504 of Regulation D in 1999. The Company also raised
$158,354 from the issuance of 7,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
prior to 1997. In 1997, the Company raised an additional $345,000 from the sale
of its common stock. In December 2007, the Company raised an additional $104,000
from shareholders. The Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 reflects
very limited assets and substantial liabilities. Further, there exist no
agreements or understandings with regard to loan agreements by or with the
Officers, Directors, principals, affiliates or shareholders of the
Company.
3
At
December 31, 2008, the Company had negative working capital
of $286,038 which consisted of current assets of approximately $2,898
and current liabilities of $288,936. The current liabilities of the Company at
December 31, 2008 are composed primarily of accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $40,393, accounts payable to a related party of $74,718, a notes
payable of $13,700, a note payable from a related party of $51,210 and advances
from related parties of $85,915.
The
Company will attempt to carry out its plan of business as discussed above. The
Company cannot predict to what extent its lack of liquidity and capital
resources will hinder its business plan. The Company needs to pay for its
proposed acquisition of SSH and will need additional capital to fund that
proposed operation.
NEED FOR
ADDITIONAL FINANCING
The
Company’s existing capital is not sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs,
including the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. It is anticipated that Crown
Partners will likely continue to advance the funds necessary to ensure that the
Company is able to meet its reporting obligations under the 1934 Act and that
these loans will be repaid either when the Company’s business begins to generate
sufficient revenues. However, Crown Partners has not agreed in writing to
provide these funds and can only provide these funds to the extent that it has
available funds to loan to the Company.
No
commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management or other
stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any funds will be
available to the Company to allow it to cover its expenses.
The
Company might seek to compensate providers of services by issuances of stock in
lieu of cash.
The
Company is presently inactive and since inception has experienced no significant
change in liquidity or capital resources or stockholders’ equity other than the
receipt of proceeds from offerings conducted under Rule 504 of Regulation D. The
Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 reflects minimal assets and
extensive liabilities. Further, there exist no agreements or understandings with
regard to loan agreements by or with the Officers, Directors, principals,
affiliates or shareholders of the Company.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
During
the period from August 31, 1995 (inception) through December 31, 2008, the
Company engaged in limited operations and attempted to commence operations in a
number of different fields, none of which was ultimately successful or resulted
in any appreciable revenues for the Company. For the year ended December 31,
2008, the Company had revenues of $23,190 compared to $14,003 revenues for the
year ended December 31, 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company
had operating expenses of $319,055 and a net loss of $316,131. For the year
ended December 31, 2007, the Company had operating expenses of $3,002,369
resulting in a net loss of $2,988,366. The difference in expenses between the
two periods resulted from the Company's increased expenses in beginning
operations in 2007 as well as the issuance of stock as compensation to
consultants, officers and directors in 2007. The net loss per share was $.00 and
$.06, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
As of
December 31, 2008, the Company had assets of $46,271 and current liabilities of
$288,936. Shareholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2008 was $242,665 compared to
shareholders’ deficit of $35,668 at December 31, 2007. Liabilities increased in
2008 due to the Company sales not being adequate to cover the cost of running
the company.
The
Company anticipates that until its business operations increase along with
revenues, the revenues generated will not be sufficient to pay the Company’s
expenses and the Company will operate at a loss for the foreseeable
future.

during the relevant period.

Item 9a. Controls &
Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the
reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Act") is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management,
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of
controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of
how remote. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO has concluded that
the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective because of
the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting which is identified below, which we view as an integral part of our
disclosure controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Controls
over Financial Reporting
We have
not yet made any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that
occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-K that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control
system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because
of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our
management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded
that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control
deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis.
The
material weakness relates 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 President does not possess accounting expertise and our
company does not have an audit committee. This weakness is 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.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by the
Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual
report.
The
Company’s management carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. The
Company’s management based its evaluation on criteria set forth in the framework
in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of theTreadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management
has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was
not effective as of December 31, 2008

6
CONFLICTS OF
INTEREST
The
Officers and Directors of the Company will devote only a small portion of their
time to the affairs of the Company, estimated to be no more than approximately
15 hours per month. There will be occasions when the time requirements of the
Company’s business conflict with the demands of their other business and
investment activities. Such conflicts may require that the Company attempt to
employ additional personnel. There is no assurance that the services of such
persons will be available or that they can be obtained upon terms favorable to
the Company.
There is
no procedure in place which would allow the Officers and Directors to resolve
potential conflicts in an arms-length fashion. Accordingly, they will be
required to use their discretion to resolve them in a manner which they consider
appropriate.
The
Company’s Officers and Directors may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to
the purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in
connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. It is anticipated
that a substantial premium over the initial cost of such shares may be paid by
the purchaser in conjunction with any sale of shares by the Company’s Officers
and Directors which is made as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed
merger or acquisition transaction. The fact that a substantial premium may be
paid to the Company’s Officers and Directors to acquire their shares creates a
potential conflict of interest for them in satisfying their fiduciary duties to
the Company and its other shareholders. Even though such a sale could result in
a substantial profit to them, they would be legally required to make the
decision based upon the best interests of the Company and the Company’s other
shareholders, rather than their own personal pecuniary benefit.
Identification
of Certain Significant Employees. The Company does not employ any persons who
make or are expected to make significant contributions to the business of the
Company.
Item 11.
Executive Compensation.
During
fiscal 2008 the Company paid two officers an aggregate of $13,450 plus accrued
$20,000 for their services.
Directors
are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meeting of the Board of
Directors.
The
Company has no material bonus or profit-sharing plans pursuant to which cash or
non-cash compensation is or may be paid to the Company’s directors or executive
officers.
The
Company has no compensatory plan or arrangements, including payments to be
received from the Company, with respect to any executive officer or director,
where such plan or arrangement would result in any compensation or remuneration
being paid resulting from the resignation, retirement or any other termination
of such executive officer’s employment or from a change-in-control of the
Company or a change in such executive officer’s responsibilities following a
change-in-control and the amount, including all periodic payments or
installments where the value of such compensation or remuneration exceeds
$100,000 per executive officer.
During
the last completed fiscal year, no funds were set aside or accrued by the
Company to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for Directors or
Executive Officers.
The
Company has no written employment agreements.
In
December, 2007, the Company adopted the Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. Consultants
and Employees Stock Plan for 2007. Under the Plan, 10,000,000 shares are
reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors, advisors and
consultants. As of December 31, 2008, 500,000
shares had been issued under the Plan.
Termination of Employment and Change
of Control Arrangement. Except as noted herein, the Company has no
compensatory plan or arrangements, including payments to be received from the
Company, with respect to any individual named above from the latest or next
preceding fiscal year, if such plan or arrangement results or will result from
the resignation, retirement or any other termination of such individual’s

change in the individual’s responsibilities following a change in
control.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors
Crown
Equity Holdings Inc.
Las
Vegas, Nevada
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crown Equity Holdings
Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for
the two years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
Crown Equity Holdings Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Crown Equity Holdings Inc. as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of operations and cash flows for the
two years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Crown Equity
Holdings Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, Crown Equity Holdings Inc. suffered losses from operations
and has a working capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those
matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 –
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of
Business
Crown
Equity Holdings Inc. (”Crown Equity”) was incorporated in August 1995 in Nevada.
Crown Equity is in the business of managing and acquiring subsidiary
corporations.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Cash and
Cash Equivalents
Crown
Equity considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue
recognition
Crown
Equity recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and
collectability is reasonably assured. This typically occurs when the product is
shipped.
Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction and
depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs associated with
repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with
improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the
efficiency of our property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over
the remaining life of the related asset. Gains and losses on dispositions of
equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3
to 5 years.
Impairment
of long-lived assets
The
Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical-cost carrying
value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses
recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows
expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value
exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss
is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference
between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair
value is estimated based upon either discounted cash flow analysis or estimated
salvage value. No impairment charge was recorded in 2008 or 2007.
Basic and
diluted net loss per share
Basic and
diluted net loss per share calculations are presented in accordance with
Financial Accounting Standards Statement 128, and are calculated on the basis of
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. They
include the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents in years with net
income. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same due to the absence of
common stock equivalents.
Income
Taxes
Crown
Equity recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences
between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using
the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the
differences are expected to be recovered. Crown Equity provides a valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of
such assets to be more likely than not.
F-6
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company's financial instruments consist of cash and debt. The carrying amount of
these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of
maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless
otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
Crown
Equity does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting
pronouncements to have a significant impact on their financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2 -
GOING CONCERN
As shown
in the accompanying financial statements, Crown Equity incurred recurring net
losses, has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit as of December
31, 2008. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to Crown Equity's ability
to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional capital
through sales of common stock. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary if Crown Equity is unable to continue as a
going concern.
NOTE 3 –
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property
and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 2008:

2008 and 2007.
NOTE 4 –
NOTE PAYABLE
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we borrowed $12,700 from an unrelated third
party. The loan is unsecured and matured on April 1, 2008 and accrued interest
at 12% per annum. The note can be converted into common shares of the company at
the holder’s option at a to be determined in the future conversion
price. Amounts outstanding under this agreement subsequent to April
1, 2008 accrued interest at 18% per annum. As of December 31, 2008 the loan and
accrued interest was still outstanding. The note is an unsecured
demand note bearing no interest.
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2008 the Company borrowed $ 1,000 from an
unrelated third party. The note is unsecured, due on demand bearing
no interest.
NOTE 5 –
INCOME TAXES
The
Company follows FASB Statement Number 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. 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. Net operating losses estimated $2.4 million as of December 31, 2008
and expire 20 years from when incurred. The cumulative tax effect at
the expected tax rate of 34% of significant items comprising the Company’s net
deferred tax amounts as of December 31, 2008 are as follows:

NOTE 6 –
COMMON STOCK
During
the quarter ended June 30, 2007 the Company instituted a ten-for-one forward
split of our common stock. All references to common stock and per share data
have been retroactively restated to account for the ten-for-one forward stock
split as if it occurred on the first day of the first period
presented.
In
December 2007, 10,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $2,100,000 were
issued for the extinguishment of $145,000 in debt to a related party for
advances made in previous periods. Accordingly, the value of the stock issued to
the related party was recorded as paid-in-capital and the value of the common
stock in excess of the debt was recorded as expense.
In
December, 2007, the Company adopted the Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. Consultants
and Employees Stock Plan for 2007. Under the Plan, 10,000,000 shares are
reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors, advisors and
consultants. As of December 31, 2008, 500,000 shares had been issued under the
Plan.
In 2007,
the Company sold 1,040,000 shares of common stock for cash. In 2007, the Company
issued 4,288,334 shares of common stock valued at $900,500 for
services.

services, 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $15,000 for accounts payable
