CROWN EQUITY HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, 2014 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.

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. (”Crown Equity”) was incorporated in August 1995 in Nevada. The Company is offering its services to companies 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. The Company provides various consulting services to companies and individuals dealing with corporate structure and operations globally. The Company also provides public relations and news dissemination for publicly and privately held companies.
In December, 2010, the Company formed two wholly owned subsidiaries Crown Tele Services, Inc. and Crown Direct, Inc. Crown Tele Services, Inc. was formed to provide voice over internet (“VoIP”) services to clients at a competitive price and Crown Direct, Inc. was formed to provide direct sales to customers. Both entities had minimum sales during the quarter.
In March, 2011, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary CRWE Real Estate, Inc. as a subsidiary to engage in potential real estate holdings. The entity had minimal activity during the quarter.
The Company has focused its primary vision to using its network of websites to provide advertising and marketing services, as a worldwide online media advertising publisher, dedicated to the distribution of quality branding information. The Company offers Internet media-driven advertising services, which cover and connect a wide range of marketing specialties, as well as search engine optimization for clients interested in online media awareness. As part of its operations, the Company has utilized the services of software and hardware technicians in developing its websites and adding additional websites. This allows the Company to disseminate news and press releases for its customers as well as general news and financial information on a much bigger scale than it did previously. The Company markets its services to companies seeking market awareness of them and the services or goods that they offer. The Company then publishes information concerning these companies on its many websites. The Company is paid in cash and/or stock of the customer companies. The Company has numerous consulting and service customers and is therefore not dependent on any particular customer for a majority of its revenue.
Crown Equity’s office is located at 11226 Pentland Down Street, Las Vegas, NV 89141.
As of March 31, 2015, Crown Equity had no paid employees and was utilizing the services of one independent contractor and consultant.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three month period ending March 31, 2015, revenues were $363 and revenues were $0 for the same period in 2014. Net loss was $244,797 for the three month periods ending March 31, 2015 and $333,905 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Operating expenses were $229,178 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and $339,055 for the same period in 2014. Other income and expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 were other expense of $15,982 and other expenses were $5,150 for the same period in 2014.
The Company incurred unrealized gains on its marketable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $0 compared to unrealized losses of $15,050 for the same period ending March 31, 2014.
The majority of our operating expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $187,000 in common stock issued for services. Interest expense incurred during the three period ending March 31, 2015 was $777 compared to $7,542 for the same period in 2014.
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 March 31, 2015, Crown Equity had current assets of $8,177 and current liabilities of $3543,367, resulting in working capital deficit of $345,190.
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $23,256 compared to net cash used of $73,625 for the same period in 2014, a net change of $50,369.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $0 compared to net cash used of $0 for the same period in 2014.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $23,064 compared to net cash provided of $79,900 in 2014, a decrease of $56,836. Cash received from borrowings on notes payable and notes payable to related parties constituted all of the funds raised in both periods presented.
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.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 12b-2 of the securities exchange act of 1934 (the "exchange act") and are not requires to provide information required under this Item.
ITEM 4: 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 material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures. The material weaknesses 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 also 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
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.
