ITEM 8.01 Other Events
Due to the outbreak of, and local, state and federal governmental responses to,
the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. (the "Company")
is filing this current report on Form 8-K to avail itself of an extension to
file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the
"Quarterly Report"), originally due on May 15, 2020. Specifically, the Company
is relying on an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") on March 25, 2020 (which extended and superseded a prior order issued on
March 25, 2020), (which extended and superseded a prior order issued on March 4,
2020) pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(Release No. 34-88318) (the "Order"), regarding exemptions granted to certain
public companies.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in
Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other
parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World
Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern," and on March 11, 2020, the
World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a "pandemic". Hubei
Province, where we conduct a substantial part of our business, is the most
affected area in China. Between January and April of 2020, the Company's staff
and employees were instructed to work remotely. As a result, the Company's books
and records were not easily accessible, resulting in delay in preparation and
completion of the Company's financial statements.
Based on the foregoing, the Company expects to file the Quarterly Report no
later than June 29, 2020.
