Crown Equity Holdings Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Crown Equity Holdings Inc. (“Crown Equity”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Crown Equity’s December 31, 2008 Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end December 31, 2008 as reported on Form 10-K, have been omitted.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have a working capital deficit as of September 30, 2009. This condition raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional capital through increases in revenue and expansion of operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are presented in the balance sheet at fair market value.  Crown Equity classified certain securities as long-term due to restrictions on transfers.

Per Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurement”, fair value is defined, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements.

ASC 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data
 
6

 
Crown Equity has classified these marketable securities as level 1 with a fair value of $125,000 as of September 30, 2009.

Per Accounting Standards Codification 825 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, an entity is permitted to irrevocably elect fair value on a contract-by-contract basis for new assets or liabilities within the scope of ASC 825 as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for those financial assets and liabilities and certain other items including property and casualty insurance contracts. Entities electing the fair value option are required to (i) recognize changes in fair value in earnings and (ii) expense any up-front costs and fees associated with the item for which the fair value option is elected. Entities electing the fair value option are required to distinguish, on the face of the statement of financial position, the fair value of assets and liabilities for which it has elected the fair value option, and similar assets and liabilities measured using another measurement attribute. An entity can accomplish this either by reporting the fair value and non-fair-value carrying amounts as separate line items or by aggregating those amounts and disclosing parenthetically the amount of fair value included in the aggregate amount.

Crown Equity adopted ASC 825 this quarter and elected the fair value option for their marketable securities.

NOTE 4 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

Crown Equity’s revenue is recognized pursuant to ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition.” The Company recognizes its revenue from services as those services are performed. Revenue recognition is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon delivery of any future product or service or meeting other specified performance conditions. Product sales, accounted for within fulfillment services, are recognized upon shipment to the customer and satisfaction of all obligations.

Contract revenues include royalties under license and collaboration agreements. Contract revenue related to technology licenses is fully recognized only after the license period has commenced, the technology has been delivered and no further involvement of Crown Equity is required.

Crown Equity receives payment for its services in both cash and equity instruments issued by the customer.  The equity instruments are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” and is based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the date on which the equity instruments are received or the date on which the contract is issued for the services to be preformed related to the payments received by Crown Equity.

Amounts received for revenue not earned as of period end are accounted for as deferred revenues.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Crown Equity’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth on the forward looking statements as a result of the risks set forth in Crown Equity’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, general economic conditions, and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Crown Equity Holdings Inc. (the "Crown Equity" or "CEH") was incorporated on August 31, 1995 as "Visioneering Corporation" under the laws of the  State  of  Nevada,  to  engage  in  any  lawful  corporate  undertaking, including,  but not limited to, selected mergers and  acquisitions.

In 2007, Crown Equity, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Crown Trading Systems, Inc. (“CTS”), a Nevada corporation, began to develop, sell, and produce computer systems which are capable of running multiple monitors from one computer.  At present, CTS is able to run 16 monitors off one CPU.  In late, 2007, CTS began to attend trade shows and started selling these systems.  On June 18, 2009 Crown Trading Systems, Inc was dissolved and the business became part of Crown Equity.

Additionally, CTS has entered into reseller and distribution agreements with over 30 wholesale and retail computer components to sell their products on CTS’s website, www.crowntradingsystems.com.

Crown Equity is offering its services to companies and their management seeking to become public entities in the United States.  It has launched a website, www.crownequityholdings.com, which offers its services in a wide range of fields.

Crown Equity’s office is located at 9663 St Claude, Las Vegas, Nevada 89148.

As of September 30, 2009, Crown Equity had no employees but was utilizing the services of independent contractors and consultants.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, we had revenues of $418,959 and $6,273 respectively, for net loss of $29,379 and $ 290,033, respectively. For the three months period ending September 2009 and 2008 revenues were $ 334,602 and $ zero with net income of $225,627 and a net loss of $120,555 respectively. During the period ending September 30, 2009 Crown Equity incurred deferred revenues of $ 143,940. General and administrative expense increased to $434,523 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $262,119 for the same period in 2008 and increased to $119,036 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $107,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Interest expense incurred during the nine month period ending September 30, 2009 was $1,716 compared $1,993 for the same period in 2008 and for the respective three months was $475 in 2009 and $1,044 for the same period for 2008. Depreciation for the three and nine months period ending September 30, 2009 was $6,692 and $19,466 respectively compared to 6,345 and $19,035 for the same periods in 2008. The revenue increases in 2009 are from a license sale of $250,000 and increased revenue from services of approximately $168,000. The increase in net income for the three month period  and decrease in loss during the nine month period was the result of revenue increases in 2009 periods over the 2008 periods.

Crown Equity will attempt to carry out its business plan as discussed above; however, it cannot predict to what extent its capital resources could hinder its business plan.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2009, Crown Equity had current assets of $252,510 and current liabilities of $272,258, resulting in negative working capital of $ 19,748.  Shareholders' equity as of September 30, 2009 was $139,470. Further, there exist no agreements or understandings with regard to loan agreements by or with the Officers, Directors, principals, affiliates or shareholders of Crown Equity.

Cash flow from operations for the period ending September 30, 2009 was $287,999 compared to ($113,323) for the same period in 2008 a positive increase of $401,322. Cash flow from investing activities was ($ 1,811) during the 2009 for the period ending September 30 compared to zero during the same period in 2008.  Cash flow from financing activities during the period ended September 30, 2009 was ($36,576) compared to $65,334 in 2008, a decrease of $101,910. The increase in sales was a major factor in cash flow changes during the period ending September 30, 2009 compared to 2008.

Our existing capital may not be sufficient to meet Crown Equity's cash needs, including the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, Crown Equity has a working capital deficit. This condition raises substantial doubt as to Crown Equity's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Crown Equity is unable to continue as a going concern.

EMPLOYEES

As of September 30, 2009, Crown Equity had no employees.

ITEM 3.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, Crown Equity  is not required to provide information required under this Item.
 
10

 
ITEM 4T:    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures(as defined in Rule 13a-15e under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 the "Exchange Act"), our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms because of the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures. 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 CEO and CFO do 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.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Except as noted above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our first quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
