NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Crown Equity Holdings Inc. ("Crown Equity" or the "Company") was incorporated in August 1995 in Nevada. The Company offers through its digital network of websites, advertising branding, marketing solutions and other services to boost customer awareness, as well as merchant visibility as a worldwide online multi-media publisher. The Company focuses on the distribution of information for the purpose of bringing together its audience with the advertisers that want to reach them. Its advertising services cover and connect a range of marketing specialties, as well as provide search engine optimization for clients interested in online media awareness. Crown Equity Holdings' objective is making its endeavor known as CRWE WORLD into a online news and information source, as well as a one stop shop for various distinct products and services. The Company also offers services to companies seeking to become public entities in the United States, as well as providing various consulting services to companies and individuals dealing with corporate structure and operations globally.

On January 27, 2020, the Company re-acquired from American Video Teleconferencing Corp. (AVOT) the online business iB2BGlobal.com, since it had not received the shares promised during the original sale.

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying financial statements include the financial information of Crown Equity Holdings Inc. ("Crown Equity", the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to financial reporting as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The preparation of these financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In the opinion of the management, the financial statements contained in this report include all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods reported herein.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Adoption of New Accounting Standard

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 in its first quarter of fiscal 2023 and found the adoption did not have a material effect or significant impact on its financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are primarily used in our revenue recognition, long-lived asset impairments and adjustments, deferred tax, stock-based compensation, and reserves for legal matters.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Crown Equity considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718 requiring employee equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. Equity instruments issued to other than employees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and the closing price of the company's common stock for common share issuances.

Revenue Recognition

The core principles of revenue recognition under ASC 606 include the following five criteria:

Sales are recognized when promised services are started in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Sales for service contracts generally are recognized as the services that are being provided.

There was not any revenue earned during the six-months period ending June 30, 2023. 

Deferred revenue is based on cash received or billings in excess of revenue recognized until revenue recognition criteria are met. Client prepayments are deferred and recognized over future periods as services are delivered or performed.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company establishes an allowance for bad debts through a review of several factors including historical collection experience, the current aging status of the customer accounts, and the financial condition of our customers. The Company does not generally require collateral for our accounts receivable. There were no accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Risk Concentrations

The Company does not hold cash in excess of federally insured limits.

During the six-month period ending June 30, 2023, the Company did not receive any revenues from its available services. 

General and Administrative Expenses

Crown Equity's general and administrative expenses consisted of the following types of expenses during 2023 and 2022: Compensation expense, auto, travel and entertainment, legal and accounting, utilities, websites, office expenses, depreciation, and other administrative related expenses.

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 the disposition of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

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 the recoverability of an 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 determined based on the expected future cash flows at a rate we believe incorporates the time value of money. No indications of impairments were identified in 2023 or 2022.

Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) per Share

When an entity has a net loss, it is prohibited from including potential common shares in the computation of diluted per share amounts. Accordingly, we have utilized basic shares outstanding to calculate both basic and diluted loss per share for the periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. The number of potential anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation shares for the period ended June 30, 2023 is 21,485,067 and June 30, 2022 was 21,400,000.

Income Taxes

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was enacted, which, among other changes, reduced the federal statutory corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. As a result of this change, the Company's statutory tax rate for fiscal 2019 and 2020 will be 21%. 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. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company has not reflected any amounts as a deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of future profits to offset any net operating loss.

The Company's deferred tax assets consisted of the following as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Uncertain Tax Position

The Company also follows guidance related to accounting for income tax uncertainties. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable 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 financial statements.

Research and Development

The Company spent no money for research and development costs during the periods ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Advertising Cost

The Company spent $0 on advertising during the periods ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, Crown Equity has an accumulated deficit of $14,194,620 since its inception and had a working capital deficit of $1,418,624, negative cash flows from operations and limited business operations as of June 30, 2023. 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.

Crown Equity continues to review its expense structure reviewing costs and their reduction to move towards profitability. Management plans to continue raising funds through debt and equity financing to grow the business to profitability. This financing may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to assets would be necessary for the Company be unable to continue as going concern.

NOTE 3 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

The Company's policy is to capitalize all property purchases over $1,000 and depreciate the assets over their useful lives of 3 to 7 years.

Property consists of the following on June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Depreciation has been provided over each asset's estimated useful life. Depreciation expenses were $1,992, and $4,043 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively.

For federal income tax purposes, the Company uses the accrual basis of accounting, the same that is used for financial reporting purposes.

The Company did not have taxable income during 2022.

The Company's deferred tax assets consisted of the following as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022:

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 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 relate 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. These material weaknesses are 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.
