NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements information reflects financial information of Crown Partners, Inc. (now known as TaxMasters, Inc.) (“Company”) and TaxMasters, Inc (“TaxMasters”). On August 4, 2009 the Company (formerly known as Crown Partners, Inc.), a Nevada corporation, closed a share exchange agreement with TaxMasters, Inc. under which all of the following occurred: (i) the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation changing its name to “TaxMasters, Inc”, increased authorized shares of common stock to 1,000,000,000, par value $0.001 and increased authorized shares of undesignated preferred stock to 500,000,000, par value $0.001, (ii) the Company issued 301,000,000 shares of its common stock to the sole stockholder of TaxMasters, Inc. (the “TaxMasters Stockholder”) in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of TaxMasters, Inc. as a result of which TaxMasters became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; (iii) the Company issued 1,000 shares of its Control Series of Preferred Stock to the TaxMasters Stockholder which give the TaxMasters Stockholder the authority to designate a majority of the Company's board of directors for a five year period; (iv) the TaxMasters Stockholder has the right to earn up to an additional 299,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock during the next five years based on a formula calculated on the net profits of the Company; (v) the Company's then-current board of directors and officers resigned effective with the closing and concurrently appointed the TaxMasters Stockholder as a director; and (vi) the Company sold all of the shares of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. (“Crown Equity”), which prior to the closing was a majority-owned operating subsidiary of the Company. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements included herein reflect the above transaction which has been accounted for as a reverse merger whereby Tax Masters, Inc. is considered the accounting acquirer and the historical and future financial statements will be those of Tax Masters, Inc. since the Company discontinued its primary business activity conduct through Crown Equity, which was to develop, sell, and produce computer systems which are capable of running multiple monitors from one computer.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of TaxMasters and notes thereto contained in the Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 20, 2009. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Certain re-classification of prior period amounts has been made to conform to the current presentation. The re-classification had no impact on stockholders' deficit and net income.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of our proprietary tax resolution products and services. TaxMasters uses the proportionate completion method for revenue recognition. With this method, we determine our revenue by gathering the completion points of six major services rendered by the company. These services are Consultations, Tax Returns, Automated Collection Service (ACS), Revenue Officer Case (ROC), Collection Due Process (CDP), and Settlement Analysis. Revenue is recognized when it is earned, typically when our services have been rendered. Upon execution of an agreement, if services have not been provided then the amount to be paid under such agreement is recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet and is reclassified as revenue on the statement of operations after services have been provided and such revenue earned.

TaxMasters, Inc.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented. There were no common stock equivalents outstanding as of September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) on interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. This guidance amends prior guidance to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may early adopt this guidance if certain requirements are met. The guidance does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, the guidance requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance issued by the FASB on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. The guidance affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction; clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active; and eliminates the proposed presumption that all transactions are distressed (not orderly) unless proven otherwise. The guidance requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. In addition, this guidance requires an entity to disclose a change in valuation technique (and the related inputs) resulting from the application of this guidance and to quantify its effects, if practicable. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 if certain requirements are met. It must be applied prospectively and retrospective application is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance issued by the FASB concerning the reporting of subsequent events. The guidance’s intent is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance became effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting standards codification and the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles. The guidance authorized the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the sole source for authoritative United States of America Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (“U.S. GAAP”). This guidance will be effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

TaxMasters, Inc.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The guidance requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. This guidance removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. This guidance will become effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of the guidance.

Note 3 - Certificates of Deposit

The Company invests excess funds in Certificates of Deposits (“CDs”) issued by domestic banks and, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The balance of this account consists of CDs with original maturities greater than three months and is classified as short-term investments in balance sheet. $735,502 of CDs matured and was rolled over into new CDs during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Note 4 - Note Receivable

On May 5, 2009, the Company entered into a one year loan agreement with a non US corporation in the amount of $400,000. The note bears a 1% interest rate, with interest payable each six months. The note is expected to be fully paid on or before June 30, 2010.

Note 5 - Capital Lease Obligations

The Company acquired equipment under long-term leases with two to five year terms, generally bearing interest rates from 2.4% to 26%. For financial reporting purposes, the present value of the minimum lease payments has been capitalized.

The covenants limited demand rights to $1 million annually as long as the company is achieving certain financial targets and the Company has the cash for repayment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 the Company repaid $523,290. Interest expense is accrued and expensed monthly.

Note 8 - Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing the financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes. The process incorporates an assessment of the current tax exposure together with temporary differences resulting from different treatment of transactions for tax and financial statement purposes. Such differences may result in deferred tax assets and/or liabilities, which are included within the balance sheet. Prior to the reverse merger of August 4, 2009, the Company was taxed as a Sub-S corporation and was not subject to corporate taxes which created a deferred tax asset when the Sub-S corporation was converted to a C corporation and converted from cash basis to accrual basis for tax purposes.

Description of Revenues

We offer our clients a no-charge initial consultation regarding their tax problems. The free initial consultation enables our tax consultants to get information from the potential client about his or her tax problem and understand the nature of the problem. From the initial consultation, we can determine what services and forms the client will need and we can present a cost estimate for the client.

We charge our clients a fee based on the type of tax problem we are addressing and the service we are providing: (i) an IRS collection matter, (ii) preparing or amending tax returns (including schedules), (iii) negotiated settlements and/or (iv) audits. In addition, some of our rates will vary depending on whether our client is an individual or a business. Built into all of our fees are the initial consultation we have with the IRS to determine all of the client’s problems and the preparation by us of a findings letter outlining the tax problems. In addition to the fee, certain services will require our tax consultants to interact with the IRS, such as a settlement negotiation or an audit, for which we charge our clients additional consulting fees. We may provide our services on a “pay-as-you-go” basis and an installment plan.

The Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of our proprietary tax resolution products and services. The Company uses the proportionate completion method for revenue recognition. With this method, we determine our revenue by gathering the completion points of six major services rendered by the Company. These services are Consultations, Tax Returns, Automated Collection Service (ACS), Revenue Officer Case (ROC), Collection Due Process (CDP), and Settlement Analysis. Revenue is recognized when it is earned, typically when our services have been rendered. Upon execution of an agreement, if services have not been provided then the amount to be paid under such agreement is recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet and is reclassified as revenue on the statement of operations after services have been provided and such revenue earned.

The primary reasons for the increase was an increase in shareholders distribution prior to the reverse merger of approximately $1.3 million and the repayment of $523,240 of the note payable from a related party within the Company. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company loaned the Company $6,296,816, at an interest rate of prime plus 1% (the “CEO Note”). The CEO Note is unsecured and is due on demand, with covenants that limit demand rights. The covenants in the CEO Note limit demand rights to $1 million annually so long as the Company is achieving certain financial targets and has the cash for repayment. This loan was a non-cash transaction. Undistributed earnings prior to the reverse merger transaction was distributed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company who loaned the funds back to the Company.

Commitments and Contingencies

We currently have two separate lease agreements for our office space under an operating lease through May 2014. Our monthly lease payment under these agreements amounts to approximately $25,162 and $67,431. Total obligation through 2014 under these agreements is approximately $5,947,121.

We also lease certain computer equipment under capital leases. Our obligation under these leases continues until July 2014. Our total obligation under these leases is approximately $1,571,000.

We currently plan to utilize both lease office spaces through 2010 and will evaluate office space needs in 2011 to determine if a sublet option or termination of a lease is appropriate.

On July 31, 2009, we entered into a lease agreement for approximately 107,890 square feet of office space, which we expect to occupy in late first quarter or early second quarter of 2010. This lease has a term of 66 months and expires in late first quarter or early second quarter of 2015, depending on the date we occupy the space. Under this lease, upon the commencement date we will not pay any rent until for the first six months, we will pay a monthly rent of $67,431 for months 7 to 26, which after 20 months will increase to $74,422 for the following 20 months. During the last 20 months of the lease our monthly rent will be $85,413. The Company has the right to extend the term of the lease for one additional term of five years.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments:

Revenue Recognition

Flat fees charged for services are recognized as revenue in the same period the services are rendered. Fees received prior to services being rendered are initially deferred and not until the services are completed are they recognized as revenue.

In addition to the flat fee, certain services require our tax consultants to interact with the IRS, such as a settlement negotiation or an audit, for which we charge our clients additional consulting fees. We provide our services on a “pay-as-you-go” basis and an installment plan. These consulting fees are recognized when the services are rendered.

Any contracts where revenue earned is expected to take longer than twelve months is classified on the balance sheet as a liability until earned. Revenue under the contract that is expect to take less than twelve months to be earned is classified as a current liability and revenue under such contract that is expect to take more than twelve months to be earned is classified as a long term liability.

Trade Receivables

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic and industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. The Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and an increase to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.

The Company’s trade receivables are generally unsecured. The Company has no concentration of revenue with any one or any few customers that the loss of any one or a few customers could impact its operations materially unless such a loss of customers were a general loss of customers.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer (chief executive officer) and principal financial officer (chief financial officer), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of December 31, 2008 and updated the evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, and due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (as described in the December 31, 2008 “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” which was filed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008), our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of September 30, 2009, our 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 SEC rules and forms.

The material weakness relates to the lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as our financial reporting and all accounting functions are performed by external consultants with no oversight by a professional with accounting expertise. Our CFO does not possess accounting expertise and our company does not have an accounting staff with public company audit experience. This weakness is due to the fact that prior to the Share Exchange the Target was a privately held company and its staff, overall, had minimal experience in public company matters, including public company accounting. To remedy this material weakness, we intend to engage accountant personnel to assist with financial reporting as promptly as possible.

(b) Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
