Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. Announces Change in Independent Auditor

LAS VEGAS, NV, April 17, 2026 — Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. (OTC: CRWE) filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission announcing a significant change in its independent registered public accounting firm, a key development that shareholders and market participants should take note of.

Key Highlights

• New Independent Auditor Appointed: On April 15, 2026, Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) engaged Vilki & Co. (“Vilki”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
• Previous Auditor Replaced: Vilki replaces L J Soldinger Associates, LLC (“Soldinger”), who served as the Company’s auditor for prior periods, including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
• Board Approval: The decision to appoint the new auditor was made and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Details on the Auditor Change

• Soldinger’s 2025 Audit Report: The report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, by Soldinger did not contain any adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion, or qualification. However, the audit report included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This is a critical disclosure for investors, as it signals that the auditor raised concerns about the Company’s ability to continue its operations without additional funding or material changes to its business.
• No Disagreements or Reportable Events: During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and through April 15, 2026, there were no disagreements between the Company and Soldinger on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. Likewise, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
• No Prior Consultations with Vilki: The Company confirmed that during the year ended December 31, 2025, and up through April 15, 2026, it did not consult with Vilki & Co. on any matters related to accounting principles, practices, or audit scope prior to their engagement.
• SEC Letter from Former Auditor: Soldinger, the outgoing auditor, has provided a letter to the SEC stating their agreement with the Company’s disclosures regarding their tenure as auditor and confirming there were no disputes or reportable events of concern.

Potential Shareholder Impact

• Materiality of “Going Concern” Paragraph: Although there were no disputes with the outgoing auditor, the inclusion of a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in the Company’s 2025 financial statements is a material issue. It signals financial uncertainty and may reflect liquidity or operational risks that could impact shareholder value.
• Change of Auditor: Any change in the independent auditor can be a sensitive event for markets. Investors often interpret such changes as a sign of potential shifts in financial reporting, internal controls, or business strategy. While the Company asserts no disagreements or reportable events, the market may react to the uncertainty or perceived risk associated with the transition.
