PART I

 

ITEM 1: BUSINESS

 

A) General

 

Crown Equity Holdings Inc. formerly known as Micro Bio-Medical Waste Systems, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 31, 1995 as "Visioneering Corporation" under the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

In 2007, the Company, through a 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.

 

In 2009, Crown Trading Systems was dissolved as a corporation and its business was absorbed into the Company. The Company still uses the trade name "Crown Trading Systems." CTS has reseller and distribution agreements with many wholesale and retail computer and components companies but is not presenting engaged in this business due to the lack of demand at the present time. The Company may re-enter this field once the economy rebounds.

 

In December, 2010, the Company formed two wholly owned subsidiaries Crown Tele Services, Inc. and CRWE Direct Inc. Crown Tele Services Inc. was formed to provide voice over internet services to clients at a competitive price, CRWE Direct Inc. was formed to provide direct sales to customers. Both entities had minimum sales during the year.

 

In December 2011, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary CRWE Real Estate Inc. to hold real estate. This entity had no sales during the year.

 

At the present time, the Company is offering its services to domestic and global 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 2009, the Company re-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 condition of online publishing remains at an all-time high and is continuing to evolve and grow. It is to a point where online publishing is a key component of a publishing company's strategy in the print dominated market. No longer is the possession of printed reading material adding value to a reader's experience.

 

At the moment, the majority of the Company's publishing sites have light to relatively medium traffic. The Company is presently in the process of strengthening its online publishing competitive position with its strategy of producing and obtaining a stronger presence with community targeted online news and information publishing. The Company has begun increasing its web presence with dedicated community targeted news and information publishing websites, which are scheduled to begin releasing in January of 2014. This strategy will allow the Company to attain readership and advertisers within communities for additional advertisement value for the Company, as well as creating a stronger competitive position within the online publishing industry.

 

In July, 2009, the Company granted a non-exclusive license to Velvet International, Inc. allowing Velvet to use the Company's system and method of rendering public financial relations over the Internet. The Company was paid a one-time licensing fee of $250,000 for the license but will not receive any future royalty or license payments from Velvet. Revenue from this sale allowed the Company to expand its efforts in developing it normal course of business as describe above.

 

In April 2011 the Company signed a management agreement with Cleantech Transit, Inc., a related party, to provide management and consulting services. The Management and directors of the Company and Cleantech are common to each Company.

 

The Company's office is located at 11226 Pentland Down Street, Las Vegas NV 89141.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company utilized the services of 1 independent contractor John Scrudato during the year. Montse Zaman and Kenneth Bosket, were paid officers of the Company during 2014.

 

Item 2: Properties

Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

 

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, 2014 and 2013 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. In 1999, the Company acquired 20/20 Web Design, Inc., a Colorado corporation wholly owned by Crown Partners, Inc. In August, 2009, Crown Partners transferred its shares of the Company to Crown Marketing Corporation ("Crown Marketing") in exchange for marketing and public relation services to be provided by Crown Marketing.

 

In July, 2009, the Company received a one-time licensing fee of $250,000 which it has utilized in funding its current operations. The Company also anticipates that as it proceeds with its planned advertising and marketing services, the revenues generated will be used to finance its operations in the short-term. The Company continues to search for additional areas in which it can generate revenue so that the Company will become profitable but there can be no guarantee that profitability will be achieved in the near- or long-term.

The Company will attempt to carry out its business plan as discussed below. The Company's business plan is to continue building its network of online publishing sites, as well as continuing to provide the consulting and services to its client on an as-needed basis. These services include general and financial management to private and public companies with an emphasis on their financial reporting and filing requirements. Such service is subject to the needs of its clients and may vary by company. The Company will attempt to carry out its business plan as described above. 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's most significant change in liquidity or capital resources or stockholders' equity has been receipts of proceeds from offerings of its capital stock and from a license fee. The Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 reflects expanded assets and reduced liabilities from the previous year due to equity method investments received from related party revenues and conversion of notes payable to common shares. The revenue transaction has had a positive impact on the Company's liquidity; however, it may not reflect the ability of the Company to fund itself without outside sources in the future. 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. In the past, officers and directors of the Company have lent or advanced monies to the Company to fund operations, there are no formal agreements or arrangements for them to continue to do so. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has $203,835 of notes payable used for providing working capital to the company.

 

At December 31, 2014, the Company had negative working capital of $419,000 which consisted of current assets of $2,369 and current liabilities of $421,369. The current liabilities of the Company at December 31, 2014 are composed primarily of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $212,508, accounts payable to a related party of $5,026, short-term debt of $47,950, and short-term debt due to related parties of $155,885.

 

Cash flows used in operating activities during the year ending December 31, 2014 was $212,629 compared to cash flow used of $36,089 for the same period in 2013. This represents an increase of $176,540.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $22,640. Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $1,500.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities was $236,550 for the year ending December 31, 2014 compared to $37,468 for the same period in 2013. The financing activities in 2014 consisted of loan proceeds and payments and the sale of common stock.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had total assets of $2,987 and total liabilities of $421,369. Stockholders' deficit as of December 31, 2014 was $418,382 compared to a deficit of $240,148 at December 31, 2013. 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 will need additional capital to fund that proposed operation.

 

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING

 

The Company's existing capital may not be 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.

 

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.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2014 to the Year Ended December 31, 2013

Sales for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $183 compared to $64,680 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $64,497. This reflects decreased revenue from our consulting business with non related party customers.

Item 9a: Controls & Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

For purposes of this section, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. 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 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 exter nal 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 are material weaknesses 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 weaknesses relate to the following:

 

- Lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as our financial reporting and all accounting functions are performed by our Officers. Our Officers do not possess accounting expertise and our company does not have an audit committee.

 

- Lack of a formal review process that includes multiple levels of review, as all accounting and financial reporting functions are performed by our Officers and the work is not reviewed by anyone.

 

- Lack of expertise in accounting of valuation in equity and marketable securities transactions.

 

These weaknesses are due to the company's lack of working capital to hire additional staff. To remedy the material weaknesses, 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, 2014. 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 the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2014.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

 

The Officers and Directors of the Company will devote most of their time to the Company however; 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.

Item 11: Executive Compensation

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, Mr. Bosket and Ms. Zaman had agreed in 2012 to terminate their employment with the Company while continuing to serve as officers and directors without compensation. This decision was necessitated due to the dramatic decrease in the Company's revenues and its inability to continue paying them as employees. In July of 2013, an attempt to re-establish Mr. Bosket and Ms. Zaman as employees was initiated, but once again became short termed because of the decreased revenues and therefore continued the year beginning in August for Montse and Mid October for Kenneth without compensation once again. As for the added directors and officers during the fourth quarter, Mr. Arnulfo Saucedo-Bardan, Mike Zaman and Mr. Mark Vega, also made the decision to serve as officers and directors without compensation upon appointment. During fiscal 2013 the Company paid its officers and directors an aggregate of $38,500.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Crown Equity Holdings, Inc.

Las Vegas, Nevada

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audits 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. has historically suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CROWN EQUITY HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO 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 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.

 

In 2010, the Company formed two subsidiaries Crown Tele Service, Inc. and CRWE Direct, Inc. Crown Tele Services will provide voice over IP messaging at a competitive price to other competitors and CRWE Direct will provide its client with direct sales of products.

 

In 2011, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary CRWE Real Estate, Inc. CRWE Real Estate will hold real estate.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial information of Crown Equity Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Crown Tele Services, Inc., CRWE Direct, Inc. and CRWE Real Estate, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

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.

 

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 grant date, based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50. 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

 

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 service or meeting other specified performance conditions.

 

Services are normally completed as described on the sales invoice issued for the service provided. In most cases the services is a one-time completion and recognized when the service is completed. If a service is provided over a time period that exceeds 30 days the revenue is recognized on a monthly basis at the end of the month in which it is completed.

 

 
F-6
 

 

Contract revenues include royalties under license. 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 Company fully vests in the shares received. The Company is fully vested in the stock it received on the date of receipt of the shares. Services that are not preformed within the period are recognized as deferred revenue.  

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

  

The Company establishes an allowance for bad debts through a review of several factors including historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, and financial condition of our customers. The Company does not generally require collateral for our accounts receivable. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

During 2014, the Company loaned $7,940 to a third party service provider. This loan and $16,200 of loans to related parties (see Note 7) were written-off during 2014 as they were deemed uncollectible. This resulted in a total loss of $24,140 in 2014.

 

Concentrations

 

During 2014, 100% of total revenue was generated from a single customer. During 2013, 30.9% of total revenue was generated from a single related party customer, Cleantech Transit, Inc., which has common officers and directors as the Company.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Crown Equity's general and administrative expenses consisted of the following types of expenses during 2014 and 2013: Compensation expense, payroll expense, rent, travel and entertainment, legal and accounting, utilities, web sites, office expenses, depreciation and other administrative related expenses.

 

Marketable Securities

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 825 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 upfront 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 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and elected the fair value option for all their marketable securities. Management has elected the fair value option as management believes it best reflects the true market value of the securities at the date of valuation.

 

The Company reports the change in value of the securities as realized or unrealized gains or losses on a quarterly basis against earnings. The gain or loss is calculated as the difference between the acquiring value and the closing market value at the end of the reporting period. For securities purchased, the acquiring value is the fair value of the securities on the date they are acquired. For securities received as payment for revenue transactions, the acquiring value is the fair value of the securities on the date the Company receives the shares as this is the date the company is fully vested in the stock.

 

 
F-7
 

 

Equity Method Investments

 

For investments that represent significant influence in the investee, the Company follows ASC 323 Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures when recognizing these investments in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, any net income or net loss must be recorded against the Company's investment, not to exceed the original investment and recognized as additional income or loss on the Company's income statement. Crown evaluates the carrying value of its equity method investments for impairment.

 

During 2012, the Company's ownership percentage in Cleantech Transit, Inc., a related party due to common officers and directors, increased to more than 20% and the Company began accounting for this investment under the equity method. The Company's ownership percentage in Cleantech Transit, Inc. was 42% as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

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 calculated 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 2014 or 2013.

  

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations 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 net 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.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, marketable securities 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.

 

Reclassifications

 

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

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

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.

 

 
F-8
 

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, Crown Equity has historically suffered losses from operations and had a working capital deficit of $419,000 as of December 31, 2014. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to Crown Equity's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated 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. The Company's expenses are planned to decrease as a percent of revenue resulting in profitability and increased shareholders' equity.

 

NOTE 3 – MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 

Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are presented in the consolidated balance sheets at fair market value.

 

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

 

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 $0 and $80,500 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

 

The Company has fully impaired the marketable securities as of December 31, 2014 due to the investments' lack of an active trading market and decline in fair value which was considered other than temporary. This resulted in an impairment loss of $77,600 during 2014. Unrealized losses on marketable securities totaled $2,900 and $50,050 during 2014 and 2013, respectively.

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 during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and elected the fair value option for their marketable securities.

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815, which requires that all derivative financial instruments be recorded in the balance sheets either as assets or liabilities at fair value.

 

The Company's derivative liability is an embedded derivative associated with the Company's convertible promissory notes. The convertible promissory note was issued on July 14, 2014 and contains an embedded derivative feature which would individually warrant separate accounting as a derivative instrument under Paragraph 815-10-05-4. The embedded derivative feature includes the conversion feature to the Note. Pursuant to Paragraph 815-10-05-4, the value of the embedded derivative liability have been bifurcated from the debt host contract and recorded as a derivative liability resulting in a reduction of the initial carrying amount (as unamortized discount) of the notes, which are amortized as debt discount to be presented in other (income) expenses in the statements of operations using the effective interest method over the life of the notes.

 

The embedded derivative within the note have been valued using the Black Scholes approach, recorded at fair value at the date of issuance; and marked-to-market at each reporting period end date with changes in fair value recorded in the Company's statements of operations as "change in the fair value of derivative instrument".

 

As of July 14, 2014 and December 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of derivative liability was determined to be $76,162 and $0, respectively. On July 14, 2014, the derivative liability was recognized with a debt discount of $40,000 and a loss on derivative liabilities of $36,162. During the year ended December 31, 2014, amortization of $40,000 was recorded against the discount. The change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2014 was a gain of $4,038 resulting in an aggregate loss on derivative liabilities of $32,124.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company follows ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. During 2009, there was a change in control of the Company. Under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code such a change in control negates much of the tax loss carry forward and deferred income tax. 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.

 

The Company did not have taxable income during 2014 or 2013.

 

The Company's deferred tax assets consisted of the following as of December 31, 2014 and 2013:
