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, 2009 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, 2009 as reported on Form 10-K, have been omitted.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, Crown Equity has an accumulated deficit of September 30, 2010. Unless profitability and increase in shareholders equity continues, these conditions raise 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.

NOTE 3 – MARKETABLE & RESTRICTED 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 820 “Fair Value Measurement”, fair values 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
 
6

 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data

Crown Equity has classified these marketable securities at level 1 with a fair value of $154,332 and restricted securities with a market value of $48,000 as of September 30, 2010.

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. The related gain/loss based on valuation on the mark to market each balance sheet date is reflected in the income statement.

NOTE 4 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company provides various consulting services to companies and individuals dealing with corporate structure and operations globally. 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 they are received by Crown Equity.
 
7

 
Amounts received for revenue not earned as of period end are accounted for as deferred revenues. As of September 30, 2010, there was no deferred revenue.

Restricted Securities

Crown Equity has classified the marketable securities they hold as of period-end as long-term in accordance with rule 144 due to restrictions on sale & transfers of unregistered shares. As of September 30, 2010 $48,000 of the marketable securities which are non controlling shares received from customers as consulting income has been classified as restricted securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 825 and 718. The related gain/loss based on valuation on the mark to market each balance sheet date is reflected in the income statement.

Revenue for the nine month period ending September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1,073,383 and $418,959, respectively. The revenue increases in 2010 were from consulting services of approximately $654,424. The net loss for the nine month period ending September 30, 2010 consisted of an operating loss of $54,527 and other expenses of $288,522 of which $ 307,544 consisted of unrealized loss on securities. This compares to an operating loss of $36,923 and net loss of $29,379 for the same period in 2009. General and administrative expense increased to $381,555 from $119,036 for the three month period ending September 30, 2010 and 2009 and $1,109,631 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $434,523 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Interest expense incurred during the nine month period ending September 30, 2010 was $9,334 compared $1,716 for the same period in 2009.

 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2010, Crown Equity had current assets of $379,844 and current liabilities of $109,460, resulting in working capital of $270,384.  Shareholders' equity as of September 30, 2010 was $284,624. 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.

Net cash used in operations for the period ending September 30, 2010 was $20,798 compared to cash provided of $287,999 for the same period in 2009, a decrease of $308,797. Net cash used in investing activities for the period ending September 30, 2010 was $55,735 compared to $1,881 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $53,854. Net cash provided by financing activities during the period ended September 30, 2010 was $45,213 compared to net cash used of $36,576 in 2009, an increase of $81,789.

Our existing capital may not be sufficient to meet Crown Equity's cash needs, including the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  This condition raises substantial doubt as to Crown Equity's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Crown Equity is unable to continue as a going concern.

EMPLOYEES

As of September 30, 2010, Crown Equity had nineteen 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.

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.
 
11

 
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.
