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 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.

 

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. The company sold the above subsidiaries (Crown Tele Services Inc., CRWE Direct, and CRWE Real Estate Inc.) on the 28th of December, 2016.2017.

 

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 its community targeted online news and information publishing. The Company has increased its web presence with the dedicated community targeted news and information publishing websites. The Company has increased its readership to create a stronger competitive position within the online publishing industry. The company is continuing its efforts with increasing its readership to obtain advertisers wanting to reach its viewership.

 

The Company's office is located at 11226 Pentland Downs Street, Las Vegas NV 89141. The Company is provided office space by one of the officers and directors at no charge.

 

As of December 31, 2017,2018, the Company utilized the services of independent contractors during the year. Montse Zaman, Arnulfo Sucedo-Bardan,Saucedo-Bardan, and Kenneth Bosket. Officers compensation is detailed in Part III, Item 11 of this filing.

Item 1A: Risk Factors

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities, and can expect such losses and negative cash flows to continue in the foreseeable future. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and future sales.

If we are unable to adapt to changing market conditions, client requirements or emerging industry standards, our business could be adversely affected.

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.

These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, if our operating results differ from our announced guidance or the expectations of equity research analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could decrease significantly.

Item 1B: Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

 

Item 2: Properties

 

The Company is provided office space by one of the officers and directors at no charge. The Company believes that this office space is sufficient for its needs for the foreseeable future.

Item 8: Financial Statements

Financial statements are audited and included herein beginning on page F-1 and are incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 9: Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

There were no disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure during2017, the relevant period.

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 external 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 inadequateincreased loss mainly 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.(2013) 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 for and valuation of equity and marketable securities transactions.

-

Lack of controls over the identification of related parties.

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, 2017. The Company's management based its evaluation on criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)common stock 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, 2017.

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017, were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 16, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Crown Equity Holdings, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

The preparation of 2017,these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In the Company had no subsidiaries. Atopinion of management, the endconsolidated 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

Crown Equity adopted Accounting Standard Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, at the start of the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings based on the current terms and conditions for open contracts as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

Table of Contents

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

We expect to adopt these provisions on January 1, 2019, including interim periods subsequent to the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact it will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the following subsidiaries were divestedFASB issued ASU 2017-02 “Leases”, which is codified in ASC 842 “Leases” and are not includedsupersedes current lease guidance in ASC 840. These provisions require lessees to put a right-of-use asset and lease liability on their balance sheet for operating and financing leases that have a term of more than one year. Expense will be recognized in the income statement similar to current accounting guidance. For lessors, the ASU modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. Entities will need to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about their leases, including characteristics and amounts recognized in the financial statements: statements. These provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt these provisions on January 1, 2019, including interim periods subsequent to the date of adoption. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach upon adoption to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.

In September 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments for employees, with certain exceptions. Under the new guidance, the cost for nonemployee awards may be lower and less volatile than under current US GAAP because the measurement generally will occur earlier and will be fixed at the grant date. This update is effective for annual financial reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, although early adoption is permitted.

Crown Tele Services Inc., CRWE Direct Inc. and CRWE Real Estate, Inc.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.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted inGAAP requires the United Statesuse of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affectby management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the balance sheet.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 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 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'sThe core principles of revenue recognition under ASC 606 include the following five criteria:

1.

Identify the contract with the customer

Contract with our customers may be oral, written, or implied. A written and signed invoice stating the terms and conditions is the Company’ preferred method. The terms of a written contract may be contained within the body of an invoice or in an email. No work is commenced without an understanding between the Company and our client that a valid contract exists.

2.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Our sales and account management teams define the scope of services to be offered, to ensure all parties are in agreement and obligations are being delivered to the customer as promised. The performance obligation may not be fully identified in a mutually signed contract, but may be outlined in email correspondence, face-to-face meetings, additional proposals or scopes of work, or phone conversations.

3.

Determine the transaction price

Pricing is discussed and identified by the operations team prior to submitting an invoice to the customer.

4.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

If a contract involves multiple obligations, the transaction pricing is allocated accordingly, during the performance obligation phase.

5.

Recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation

The Company uses digital marketing that includes digital advertising, SEO management and digital ad support. We provide whether presenting a vibrant but simple message about our clients that will enlighten their audience or deploying an influential digital marketing campaign on our online site or across one or multiple social media platforms. Revenue is recognized when ads are run on Company’s advertising platform.

The company generates analytical reports monthly or as required to show how the ad dollars were spent and how the targeting resulted in click-through. The report satisfies the performance obligation, regardless of the outcome or effectiveness of the campaign.

Sales are recognized pursuant to ASC 605 "Revenue Recognition." The Company recognizes its revenue from services as thosewhen promised services are performed. Revenue recognition is limited to thestarted in an amount that is not contingent upon delivery of any futurereflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Sales for service or meeting other specified performance conditions.contracts generally are recognized as the services are being provided.

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 estimateddetermined based uponon either discountedexpected future cash flow analysisflows at a rate we believe incorporates the time value of money. No indications of impairments were identified in 2018 or estimated salvage value. No impairment charge was recorded in 2017 or 2016.2017.

Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same due to the absence of common stock equivalents.year ended December 31, 2018 is 113,377.

 

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.

 

Uncertain tax position

 

The Company also follows the 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 December 31, 20172018 and 2016.2017.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

 

Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers. The Company has no Level 3 Inputs.

 

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 consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 “Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements To Employee Share Based Payment AccountingTable of Contents”, which amends certain provisions of ASU 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”. The ASU will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also will allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We expect to adopt these provisions on October 1, 2017, and based on our current stock compensation awards, the adoption is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 “Revenue from Contracts with Customer, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” to clarify the principal versus agent guidance in its new revenue recognition standard. The amendments clarify how an entity should identify the unit of accounting for the principal versus agent evaluation and how it should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements, such as service transactions. These provisions also clarify the indicators to determine when an entity is acting as a principal or an agent. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, and can be applied using a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. We expect to adopt these provisions on January 1, 2018, including interim periods subsequent to the date of adoption. The adoption is not expected to have a material effecct on our consolidated financial statements..

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07 “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting”, which amends certain provisions of ASU 323 “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures”. The ASU eliminates the requirement that an investor retrospectively apply equity method accounting when an investment that it had accounted for by another method initially qualifies for the equity method. The guidance will be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We expect to adopt these provisions on October 1, 2017, and the adoption is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05 “Derivatives and Hedging--Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships”, which amends certain provisions of ASU 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. The ASU clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument under ASC 815 does not, in and of itself, require designation of the instrument if all other hedge criteria continue to be met. These provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and can be adopted using a prospective or modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt these provisions on October 1, 2017, including interim periods subsequent to the date of adoption, and do not expect that these provisions will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases”, which is codified in ASC 842 “Leases” and supersedes current lease guidance in ASC 840. These provisions require lessees to put a right-of-use asset and lease liability on their balance sheet for operating and financing leases that have a term of more than one year. Expense will be recognized in the income statement similar to current accounting guidance. For lessors, the ASU modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. Entities will need to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about their leases, including characteristics and amounts recognized in the financial statements. These provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt these provisions on October 1, 2019, including interim periods subsequent to the date of adoption. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach upon adoption to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. We are evaluating the impact of these provisions.

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.

NOTE 89 – 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 20172018 or 2016.2017.

 

The Company's deferred tax assets consisted of the following as of December 31, 20172018 and 2016:2017:

As of December 31, 20172018 and 2016,2017, the Company's accumulated net operating loss carry forward was approximately $1,744,516$1,903,911 and $1,663,924$1,744,516 respectively and will begin to expire in the year 2032. The deferred tax assets have been adjusted to reflect the recently enacted corporate tax rate of 21%. The 2017 Act reduces the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. For net operating losses (NOLs) arising after December 31, 2017, the 2017 Act limits a taxpayer’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards to 80% of taxable income. In addition, NOLs arising after 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely, but carryback is generally prohibited. NOLs generated in tax years beginning before January 1, 2018 will not be subject to the taxable income limitation. The 2017 Act would generally eliminate the carryback of all NOLs arising in a tax year ending after 2017 and instead would permit all such NOLs to be carried forward indefinitely.

2014 Federal income tax returns have not been examined and reported upon by the Internal Revenue Service; returns of the years since 2014 are still open.

Item 9: Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

There were no disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure during the relevant period.

Item 9A: Controls & Procedures

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

We have not 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.

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 requestcertain 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.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 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 that designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external 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 (2013). 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.

26
Table of Contents

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 for and valuation of equity and marketable securities transactions.

-

Lack of controls over the identification and approval of related parties and 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, 2018. The Company's management based its evaluation on criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) 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, 2018.

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.

The Company previously adopted a Code of Ethics in 2004. The Company has revised the Code of Ethics and is adopting a new Code of Ethics which applies to its directors as well as to its officers including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer.
