PART I
 
Item 1. Description of Business
 
Overview
 
Players Network was incorporated in the State of Nevada in March of 1993. Until 2005, its business has been the ownership and operation of a digital 24-hour entertainment network called “PLAYERS NETWORK,” which specialized in producing television programming to serve the gaming industry. Until 2006, Players Network distributed its programming exclusively through a single customized private cable channel which was broadcast directly into the guestrooms of casino and non-casino hotels in Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
 
In 2005, the Company refocused itself from a business-to-business private network strategy, to a mass-distribution business-to-consumer digital network strategy. Players Network began implementing this strategy by seeking partners to distribute its programming through new channels, including Video on Demand (VOD) Television, Broadband Internet, and mobile devices such as cell phones and PDA’s. In 2006, the Company entered into distribution agreements with Comcast Communications, North America’s largest cable company, servicing 25 million homes, and with two of the world’s largest search engines, Yahoo and Google/Google.UK. Players Network also began to distribute its programming through its own website, www.PlayersNetwork.com.

Market Opportunity
 
The technology of media distribution and the digital revolution is rapidly changing the way consumers access television content. Instead of scheduled programming, video can now be viewed “On Demand” through digital cable television and satellite networks, broadband internet, and by downloading content to mobile and wireless devices such as MP3 players, cell phones and PDAs. Programming is becoming more targeted to specific consumer groups who want to watch specific content whenever they want to watch it. The old adage “Content is King” is more accurate today than ever, and in the lifestyle categories of Las Vegas entertainment and Gaming, Players Network wears the crown.

According to the American Gaming Association, more than $70 billion is spent annually on gaming and gaming-related activities and entertainment in the United States alone. The Las Vegas Visitor and Convention Authority also reports that at least 42 million people visit Las Vegas and other U.S. gaming venues every year.

Players Network develops, produces, acquires and distributes a wide range of original, high-quality lifestyle television programming to serve consumers interested in gaming and entertainment and activities associated with or surrounding gaming. Programming focuses primarily on Las Vegas, but also includes gaming lifestyle programming worldwide. The Company’s proprietary productions include gaming instruction, gaming news, instruction on sports and racing wagering, gaming entertainment, tournaments, events and travel. Television shows include Neon Buzz, Hocus Pocus, Players Bikini Watch, The Best of Vegas, In the Mind of the Poker Pro, Players Network’s School of Gaming and more. In 2006, Players Network entered into an agreement with Playboy Enterprises to develop and co-produce a series called “Playboy’s Woman of Poker,” which the Company plans to distribute on an established Cable or Broadcast Channel while retaining rights to short form VOD segments for its own distribution channels.

By selectively aggregating all the broadest aspects of life and leisure time activities that make up the diverse “Gaming Lifestyle” category, Players Network has defined a unified, integrated mainstream category whose wide-ranging participants’ appetite for content, merchandise, experiences, information and services has yet to be met. This Gaming Lifestyle Category encompasses all forms of gambling, but also includes travel, entertainment, fine living, instruction, information, tournaments, news, and more, as much of the content as possible, celebrity driven.

Players Network believes that it is the only company in the world that has developed a media network dedicated solely to this Gaming Lifestyle market. We believe that the changes in the media marketplace, and Players Network’s First Mover advantage in Gaming Lifestyle and Las Vegas entertainment media - which in the past several years has gained more mainstream acceptance then ever before - has positioned Players Network to become a leading provider of programming to this lucrative market.

During 2006 we built a substantial distribution base with major partners and have become one of the first new content companies to establish itself as a leader in new media distribution. As a part of its agreement with Google, Players Network shares in all advertising revenue earned by its programming. We believe that our agreement with Google will enable enormous growth in Players Network’s viewership numbers worldwide, especially after Google’s acquisition of YouTube, which is the largest video site in the world. Players Network’s content will be available on that platform by the end of the second quarter of 2007.

In November 2005, we entered into an agreement with Comcast Communications pursuant to which we began offering our original, proprietary programming through a dedicated VOD television channel to Comcast digital subscribers. In our first month of broadcasting, over 32,000 videos were viewed by Comcast subscribers. Comcast’s digital distribution has now expanded to just over 13 million television homes. Combined with its Broadband distribution, Players Network’s content is now being viewed in excess of 2 million times per month. Comcast estimates that its Video-on-Demand service, including Players Network, will be available in approximately 20 million homes by the end of 2008, which we believe will exponentially increase the number of Players Network’s videos that are viewed, and as a result, make our programming inventory more valuable to sponsors.

The Company intends to continue its production of original programming for its own distribution platforms, while also expanding its distribution through partnerships with additional new and traditional media companies in areas that include cable television, broadcast and satellite television, Pay-Per-View, DVD distribution, television syndication, radio, print, and out-of-home media including mobile devices, additional land-based locations, in-flight venues, and on-board sources. The Company plans to drive new revenues from sponsorship, advertising, content licensing, subscriptions and live events through video chat and commerce.
 
During fiscal 2006, this change in the Company’s business strategy has increased and is expected to continue to increase the Company's costs for the near future. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing its new strategy, or that it will be able to achieve positive cash flow or profitable operations. See “RISK FACTORS - THE CURRENT CHANGE IN OUR BUSINESS FOCUS PRESENTS A NUMBER OF CHALLENGES AND MAY NOT PROVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL OR CAUSE US TO BECOME PROFITABLE.”

Content/Programming
 
Our content is highly creative, entertaining, informative, authoritative, sometimes edgy, and always credible, featuring knowledgeable celebrities from the worlds of gaming, entertainment and business as program hosts and participants. We are also developing our own on-air personalities.
 
We emphasize quality entertainment that captures the excitement, passion, enjoyment, sex appeal, entertainment, information, celebrity, and the non-stop adrenaline rush of the Gaming Lifestyle. Our content is divided into five main categories:
 
 
·
Gaming (casino action, poker, sports and racing, card & board games, lotteries);
 
 
·
Entertainment (Vegas-style shows, concerts, comedy, theater, nightclubs, gambling-themed specials, movies and television series);
 
 
·
Events (tournaments, competitions, conventions, parties);
 
 
·
Instruction, information, reality shows and profiles (games & gaming education, news & information, gambling-themed documentaries, biographies, etc.); and
 
 
·
Lifestyle (travel, leisure and fine living, shopping, dining, cars, electronics, fashion, problem gambling, etc.)
 
The development of Players Network’s programming is led by Michael Berk, who is one of Hollywood’s most successful television producers. Michael Berk has created over 500 hours of network television that includes 5 television series. Mr. Berk is best known for his series “Baywatch”, which he created and for which he was the Executive Producer for 12 years. Baywatch is distributed in 144 countries and is in the Guinness World Book of Records as the most watched television show in history.
 
We have a library of 850 gambling and gaming lifestyle videos, including 30 originally-produced hours of programming from the World Series of Poker(R), which Players Network had the exclusive rights to produce and air live. In 2006 Players Network produced over 50 videos at the Hooters Hotel and Casino, 28 new gaming instructional videos aimed at slots and video poker players, a series of 23 videos on magic entitled “Hocus Pocus”, The “Best of Vegas” series, “Neon Buzz”, an entertainment report that covered red carpet events and many more. Our growing programming library is an asset which represents long-term revenue opportunities in advertising, sponsorship, direct sales and product integration, domestic and international program sales, broadband syndication, subscription fees and increased home video sales.
 
Strategy
 
Players Network’s goal is to build the dominant media, marketing and merchandising brand in the Las Vegas and Gaming Lifestyle Category by:
 
 
·
Creating a brand identity as “the trusted name in gaming entertainment, education, information and services” that addresses the full spectrum of audience demographics within the Gaming Lifestyle Category;

 
·
Building an ever-expanding, valuable library of entertainment, instruction and information content that appeals to the “Player” in everyone for distribution on all platforms;

 
·
Leveraging our various distribution channels as a mechanism to attract people with gaming interest with the goal of building a strong customer base and community;

 
·
Gaining a broad and diversified audience base through its distribution arrangement with Comcast as well as other distribution channels, including linear programming via digital cable, internet and broadband, wireless, packaged media, video games, mobile media through cell phones and I-pods, radio, publishing, and IPTV. In 2006 we entered into agreements with Google/Google.UK and Yahoo that enables us to distribute our content through sites operated by Google and Yahoo, including YouTube.

·
Harnessing the power of the media in order to provide customized media solutions and marketing services for key Lifestyle Category companies, principally major Las Vegas Casino Properties. Players Network uses its strong relationships in the Gaming Industry to lock in special trade relationships that can contribute to content, advertising, VIP Services, and club amenities which will solidify Players Network’s credibility in the category;

 
·
Grow the Company’s robust, proprietary database of gaming enthusiasts, and create lifestyle communities by offering deals, discounts, and prizes to its customers, while marketing its strategic partners and sponsors;

 
·
Offering advertisers a new content category with creative cross-platform advertising/sponsorship packages, at reasonable rates, in an environment of unique, sexy content surrounded by sizzling attitude, that delivers desirable demographics;

 
·
Expanding its production and operations infrastructure to include a Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) that will enable Players Network to: 1) accommodate any distribution platform immediately, 2) manage and fully exploit the value of all produced and acquired content in Players Network’s own library (and for third-parties with digital assets) including re-purposing content for all platforms

 
·
Continuing to build a lean management team with proven experience that can move quickly, control costs, rapidly create a broad range of high-quality content, and leverage significant, long-term relationships in the media, entertainment and gaming industries allowing the company to accelerate its market leadership.

Distribution
 
We distribute our gaming lifestyle media programming through a variety of media platforms, including Video on Demand, broadband/Internet, Satellite television, Cable Television, packaged media, and on our proprietary website. Through our new dedicated channel available through Comcast, we intend to deliver live and taped original television series, live pay per view events, mobile and internet content down loading, information segments and interactive content. The channel’s expanded programming will include popular poker programs, reality shows, game shows, documentaries, talk shows and special events on the gaming lifestyle. In the fall of 2006, we launched our Players Network channel by upgrading the content and production value and changed the Electronic Programming Guide (EPG) to Vegas on Demand. This change immediately increased our viewership substantially.
 
Video on Demand (VOD)
 
The Company has entered into an agreement with Comcast Communications pursuant to which its content is broadcast over a dedicated channel available to Comcast's digital subscribers through its "Select on Demand" services.
 
This service allows consumers to select from a menu of available programs for viewing at any time. Players Network is required to provide a certain amount of content and refresh it periodically. The Company is seeking sponsorship and advertiser support, including merchandising, which will generate revenues to the Company.

Players Network’s agreement with Comcast is an invaluable asset in the growth of the Players Network brand. It is a cost-effective way in which to launch a cable channel on the largest cable network in the world. Traditional cable channels can cost hundreds of million of dollars to launch, however, Players Network’s agreement with Comcast provides that Comcast pays for all distribution costs associated with the distribution of Players Network’s content. All Players Network has to pay for is the content and marketing. This represents a huge net savings to the Company.
 
Comcast projects that its digital cable service, including the Players Network Channel, will have over 36 million subscriber households by 2010.
 
Broadband/Internet
 
The Company’s goal is to be the all-encompassing resource for gaming enthusiasts and novices alike, providing them with gaming and gambling entertainment, education, information, services, and everything else related to the Gaming Lifestyle.
 
The typical economics of a website are advertiser and sponsorship based with some premium content available to consumers for a fee. As brand awareness grows through advertising and major industry tie-ins, the Company will seek to become an aggregating portal for other gaming sites.
 
Players Network intends to heavily market and cross-promote its website and the Company is actively exploring additional relationships with AOL, My Space and other search engine/portal/browser companies.
 
The Company also believes there is a great opportunity to provide content to and share content with other internet gaming-related information, data, entertainment, gambling and educational sites. Players Network intends to use its website to develop gaming lifestyle communities, then offer the members of these communities live video events, information services, discounts, travel, commerce, etc., as well as instant messaging, chat, comments, reviews and perspectives from consumers on a variety of topical subjects.
 
International Television
 
In creating a truly global brand, Players Network plans to take advantage of opportunities for channel and programming distribution outside of the U.S. on both full channels and as programming blocks on existing services.
 
As the Company begins its program sales efforts to  license individual programs and series to overseas distributors, it will have the advantage of determining the specific global distribution partners with which it desires to develop deeper, longer-lasting linear channel relationships.
 
Key international distribution targets are Cable & Wireless, UPC and BskyB Europe, Cable & Wireless/Optus, Foxtel and Austar, Australia, CBC and TV Ontario, Canada, UniVision, Cisneros, Latin America and others. Additionally, the Company will begin discussions with potential distribution partners in China and Japan.
 
6

 
Packaged Media
 
The Company will continue the production and sale of its programming in the DVD format. Players Network projects it will be issuing an average of seven titles by 2007.
 
Mobile
 
Mobile is an exciting method to reach a growing 21+year-old audience, passionate about gaming, and not yet brand-loyal. In 2005, Players Network conducted a pilot test during The World Series of Poker through a mobile aggregator who processed our messages to Cingular/ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint/Nextel customers.
 
Players Network intends to continue to seek opportunities to distribute its content through video and screen saver downloads to mobile devices. Mobile Video Downloads of short 45 to 60 second clips with little dialogue so that the content will translate across all languages, and Still Photos captured from videos as screen savers, is anticipated to be a fast emerging market that the company plans to monetize with its content.
 
Players Network has already begun to distribute a small part of its programming to international mobile devices, and believes it will begin to generate mobile revenues in fall 2007 through video and screen saver downloads.
 
Broadcast Television
 
Players Network will continue developing and producing higher budget, long-form television programming (i.e. “Playboy’s Women of Poker”) for Broadcast and Cable distribution while retaining VOD and syndication rights whenever possible.
 
Competition
 
Although we are unaware of any other company that is aimed exclusively at the gaming lifestyle market, we face intense competition from a variety of other companies that develop and distribute gaming lifestyle content, including (i) full service in-room providers, (i) cable television companies, (ii) direct broadcast satellite services, (iii) television networks and programmers, such as ESPN, the Travel Channel, E!, the Food Network; (iv) Internet service providers, (v) broadband connectivity companies, and (vi) other telecommunications companies. In addition, our services compete for a viewer’s time and entertainment resources with other forms of entertainment.
 
We believe that the primary competitive factors affecting our operations include our distribution agreements, brand recognition, the quality and extent of our content (we have built a significant video library of over 850 short and long form segments); our understanding of our market and our ability to develop content geared to our chosen market (we have developed and acquired market research studies that validate our audience’s demands and we have a reserve of writers, producers and directors who understand television, the casino industry and the gaming lifestyle market). Over the past 15 years Players Network has built substantial relationships and trust with Las Vegas casinos, gaming manufacturers and the gaming community in general, and has developed a Las Vegas based production infrastructure to support our operations.
 
(d)
Governmental Approval and Regulation
 
Players Network does not believe that any governmental approvals are required to sell its products or services. The Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 and the Telecommunications Act of 1996, governs the distribution of video programming by cable, satellite or over-the-air technology, through regulation by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). However, because Players Network’s video distribution systems do not use any public rights of way, they are not classified as cable systems and are subject to minimal regulation. Thus, the FCC does not directly regulate the programming provided by the Company.
 
7

 
Although the FCC generally does not directly regulate the services provided by Players Network, the regulation of video distribution and communications services is subject to the political process and has been in constant flux over the past decade. Further material changes in the law and regulatory requirements must be anticipated and there can be no assurance that Players Network’s business will not be adversely affected by future legislation or new regulations.
 
(e)
Cost of Research and Development
 
In the last two years Players Network has expended approximately $125,000 in research and development activities related to developing the new services and internet site, including the purchase of certain computer hardware and software.
 
(f)
Seasonality
 
The amount of revenue realized by the Company each month is only affected slightly by the season for a variety of factors, that mainly include summer break, and holidays, when internet use increases due to when student are online more often.
 
(g)
Personnel
 
Players Network currently has six full time employees and two part time employee as well as eight contract personnel that support and operate our production and post-production operations. Management will hire additional employees on an as needed basis. None of our employees are subject to any collective bargaining agreement or labor union contract, nor has the Company been subjected to any strikes or employment disruptions in its history. However, Players Network has entered into employment agreements with our Chief Executive Officer, Mark Bradley and our President of Programming, Michael Berk. Mr. Berk’s annual base salary is $150,000 and shall be adjusted to provide for all cost of living increases based upon the percentage increase (if any) in the CPI for All Urban Consumers. Additional compensation will be paid equal to 10% of royalty income received by the Company from sources directly resulting from the President of Programming efforts. We intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services when and as they are deemed necessary. We believe that the use of third-party service providers may enhance our ability to contain general and administrative expenses.
 
Players Network’s proposed personnel structure could be divided into four broad categories: management and production, professional, administrative, and project personnel. As in most small companies, the divisions between these three categories are somewhat indistinct, except for production, as employees are engaged in various functions as projects and workloads demand.
 
RISK FACTORS
 
In addition to the other information in this Annual Report, the following risk factors, among others, should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its business.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY
 
We have had a history of losses, we expect losses in the future, and there can be no assurance that we will become profitable in the future.
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 16, 1993. Since inception, we have experienced operating losses on an on-going basis. For our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we incurred net losses of $2,154,460. As of such date, we had an accumulated deficit of $13,321,783. We expect our losses to continue for the foreseeable future. These continuing losses may be greater than current levels. If our revenues do not increase substantially or if our expenses exceed our expectations, we may never become profitable. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
 
8

 
Our auditor has given us a "going concern" qualification, which questions our ability to continue as a going concern without additional financing.
 
Our independent certified public accountant has added an emphasis paragraph to its report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Key to this determination is our recurring net losses, an accumulated deficit, and a working capital deficiency. Management plans to try to increase sales and improve operating results through the expansion of the distribution channels of our programming with a view to increasing advertising and sponsorship revenues. Management believes that funds generated from operations will not be sufficient to cover cash needs in the foreseeable future, and we will continue to rely on expected increased revenues and private equity to cover our cash needs, although there can be no assurance in this regard. In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing or would conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives, becoming profitable or continuing our business without either a temporary interruption or a permanent cessation.
 
We need additional capital in the future to finance our planned growth, which we may not be able to raise or it may only be available on terms unfavorable to us or our stockholders, which may result in our inability to fund our working capital requirements and harm our operational results.
 
We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs. We do not now have funds sufficient to fund our operations at their current level for the next 12 months. We need to raise additional cash to fund our operations and implement our business plan. We are maintaining an on-going effort to locate sources of additional funding, without which we will not be able to remain a viable entity. No financing arrangements are currently under contract, and there are no assurances that we will be able to obtain adequate financing. If we are able to obtain the financing required to remain in business, eventually achieving operating profits will require substantially increasing revenues or drastically reducing expenses from their current levels or both. If we are able to obtain the required financing to remain in business, future operating results depend upon a number of factors that are outside of our control. We recently secured our first debt financing in the original principal amount of $250,000. We currently do not have the funds to repay this indebtedness but have the option to convert it to common stock upon its 36 month anniversary. The expected operating losses, coupled with a lack of liquidity, raise a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. For more information about our capital needs and abilities, see "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION - OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK - Liquidity and Capital Resources” herein.
 
At this stage of our business operations, even with our good faith efforts, potential investors have a possibility of losing their investment.
 
Because the nature of our business is expected to change as a result of shifts as a result of market conditions, competition, and the development of new and improved technology, management forecasts are not necessarily indicative of future operations and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. While management believes its estimates of projected occurrences and events are within the timetable of its business plan, our actual results may differ substantially from those that are currently anticipated.
 
The current change in our business focus presents a number of challenges and may not prove to be successful or cause us to become profitable.
 
Historically, we have distributed our programming by means of multiple platforms including in-room private network television that broadcast in Las Vegas and Atlantic City Hotel rooms, DVD sales, and our Web site. AT the end of 2005 we decided to change our focus and broaden our distribution channels. In the future, we intend to focus on distributing our programming through a new Broadband Video Networks, and through VOD Cable Television, Broadcast and Satellite Television, Video On Demand, Video Downloads, Mobile, Pay-Per-View, DVD distribution, and out-of-home media including mobile devices, additional land-based locations, in-flight venues, and on-board sources both domestically and internationally. This change in focus is expected to increase our costs, to require additional financing, and to affect our financial model in terms of margins, cash flow requirements, and other areas. We now have a one year history with respect to the direction our business is now taking and is helping define what will become industry standards as more consumers become acclimated to the new media platforms where we distribute our content. There can be no assurance that we will be able to succeed in implementing our strategy, or that we will be able to achieve positive cash flow or profitable operations as a result of these changes in our business.
 
9

 
If we are unable to retain the services of Messrs. Bradley or Berk, or if we are unable to successfully recruit qualified managerial and sales personnel having experience in business, we may not be able to continue our operations.
 
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of Mr. Mark Bradley, our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Michael Berk, our President of Programming. Loss of the services of Messrs. Bradley or Berk could have a material adverse effect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We maintain key-man insurance on the life of Mr. Bradley in the amount of $600,000 but none with respect to Mr. Berk. In addition, in order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon (among other things) successfully recruiting qualified managerial and sales personnel having experience in business. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain existing employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms.
 
Our current management resources may not be sufficient for the future, and we have no assurance that we can attract additional qualified personnel.
 
There can be no assurance that the current level of management is sufficient to perform all responsibilities necessary or beneficial for management to perform. Our success in attracting additional qualified personnel will depend on many factors, including our ability to provide them with competitive compensation arrangements, equity participation and other benefits. There is no assurance that (if we need to) we will be successful in attracting highly qualified individuals in key management positions.
 
Limitations on claims against our officers and directors, and our obligation to indemnify them, could prevent our recovery for losses caused by them.
 
The corporation law of Nevada allows a Nevada corporation to limit the liability of its directors to the corporation and its stockholders to a certain extent, and our Articles of Incorporation have eliminated our directors' and officers’ personal liability for damages for breaches of fiduciary duty but do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director officer for (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law, or (b) the payment of dividends in violation of applicable law. The corporation law of Nevada allows a Nevada corporation to indemnify each director, officer, agent and/or employee to the extent that certain standards are met. Further, we may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such persons whether or not we have the power to indemnify such person against the liability insured against. Consequently, because of the actions or omissions of officers, directors, agents and employees, we could incur substantial losses and be prevented from recovering such losses from such persons. Further, the Commission maintains that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against the public policy expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.
 
Incumbent management owns a large percentage of our outstanding stock, and cumulative voting is not available to stockholders.
 
Our current management currently owns (directly or indirectly) approximately 32.15% of our outstanding common stock (considered on an undiluted basis). Cumulative voting is not provided for in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holder or holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock may elect all of our directors. Management's large percentage ownership of our outstanding common stock helps enable them to maintain their positions as such and thus control of our business and affairs.

We may experience rapid growth, and in such case we will need to manage this growth effectively.
 
We believe that, given the right business opportunities, we may expand our operations rapidly and significantly. If rapid growth were to occur, it could place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. To manage any significant growth of our operations, we will be required to undertake the following successfully:
 
 
·
Manage relationships with various strategic partners and other third parties;
 
·
Hire and retain skilled personnel necessary to support our business;
 
·
Train and manage a growing employee base; and
 
·
Continually develop our financial and information management systems.

If we fail to make adequate allowances for the costs and risks associated with this expansion or if our systems, procedures or controls are not adequate to support our operations, our business could be harmed. Our inability to manage growth effectively could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
 
Our business is speculative (among other reasons) because our revenues are derived from the acceptance of our programming and the timely expansion to new media distribution, which is difficult to predict, and our failure to develop appealing programming would probably materially adversely affect us.
 
Our programming is the key to our success. It represents the catalyst for generating our revenues, and is subject to a number of uncertainties. Our success depends on the quality of our programming and the quality of other programming released into marketplace at or near the same time as ours, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions and other tangible and intangible factors, all of which can change and cannot be predicted with certainty. There can be no assurance that our current or future programming will appeal to consumer or persons who would pay to broadcast it. Any failure to develop appealing programming would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
There are various risks associated with our proprietary rights.
 
No patent protection. We have no proprietary technology, and accordingly, have no patents. We intend to rely on a combination of copyright and trade secret protection and nondisclosure agreements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information, products or technology without authorization, to imitate our programming, or to develop similar or superior programming or ideas independently. Imitation of our programming, the creation of similar or superior programming, or the infringement of our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our programming or otherwise adversely affect our potential for revenue. Policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property will be difficult and expensive. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries. We cannot provide any assurances that the steps we take will prevent misappropriation of our technology or that our confidentiality or other protective agreements will be enforceable.
 
Enforcing our proprietary rights may require litigation. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to protect our copyrights, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
 
Others may assert infringement claims against us. One of the risks of our business is the possibility of claims that our productions infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties with respect to previously developed content. In addition, our technology and software may be subject to patent, copyright or other intellectual property claims of third parties. We could receive in the future claims of infringement of other parties’ proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that infringement claims will not be asserted or prosecuted against us, or that any assertions or prosecutions will not materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such claims, we would incur significant costs and diversion of resources with respect to the defense thereof, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any claims or actions are asserted against us, we may seek to obtain a license under a third party’s intellectual property rights. We cannot provide any assurances, however, that under such circumstances a license would be available on reasonable terms or at all.

We may be adversely affected by changing consumer preferences
 
Gambling and new media appears to have become more accepted by and popular with many more persons in recent years. However, the gambling industry is subject to shifting consumer preferences and perceptions. A dramatic shift in consumer acceptance or interest in gaming could materially adversely affect us. We are also dependent on consumers becoming acclimated to using new media by watching video over the internet and on VOD television platforms.
 
We will rely on a number of third parties, and such reliance exposes us to a number of risks.
 
Our operations will depend on a number of third parties. We will have limited control over these third parties. We will probably not have many long-term agreements with many of them. We rely upon a number of third parties to carry our programming, and we will need to expand in the future the number of third parties doing this on our behalf. There can be no assurance that existing such agreements will not be terminated or that they will be renewed in the future on terms acceptable to us, or that we will be able to enter into additional such agreements. Our inability to preserve and expand the channels for distributing our programming would likely materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We also will rely on a variety of technology that we will license from third parties. Our loss of or inability to maintain or obtain upgrades to any of these technology licenses could result in delays. These delays could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, until equivalent technology could be identified, licensed or developed and integrated. Moreover, we occasionally use third parties in connection with our production work and work on our Web site. In addition, we do not own a gateway onto the Internet. Instead, we now and presumably always will rely on a network operating center to connect our Web site to the Internet. Overall, our inability to maintain satisfactory relationships with the requisite third parties on acceptable commercial terms, or the failure of such third parties to maintain the quality of services they provide at a satisfactory standard, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
We could be materially adversely affected by future regulatory changes applicable to our business.
 
We not believe that any governmental approvals are required to sell our products or services, and that we are not currently subject to significant regulation by any government agency in the United States, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. However, a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to our business in the future. Such legislation could dampen or increase the cost of our business. Such a development could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Competition in our industry is moderate. We are very small and have a limited operating history although compared to the vast majority of our competitors we are more experienced.
 
We intend to compete with major and independent providers of content to the Broadband and VOD television the majority of our anticipated competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. In addition, larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in federal, state and local laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position. These competitors may be able to pay more for technology upgrades and marketing. In addition, some of our competitors have been operating in our core areas for a much longer time than we have and have demonstrated the ability to operate through industry cycles.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
 
We have certain obligations and the general ability to issue additional shares of common stock in the future, and such future issuances may depress the price of our common stock.
 
We have various obligations and the ability to issue additional shares of common stock in the future. These obligations and abilities include the following:

 
·
Approximately, 700,000 shares of our common stock available for issuance under our 2004 Non-Qualified Stock Plan; and

 
·
Options and warrants to purchase approximately 4.4 million unregistered shares of common stock had been issued as of the date of this Annual Report.
 
The options described above will permit the holders to purchase shares of common stock at specified prices. These purchase prices may be less than the then current market price of our common stock. Any shares of common stock issued pursuant to these options would further dilute the percentage ownership of existing stockholders. The terms on which we could obtain additional capital during the life of these options may be adversely affected because of such potential dilution. Finally, we may issue additional shares in the future other than as listed above. There are no preemptive rights in connection with our common stock. Thus, the percentage ownership of existing stockholders may be diluted if we issue additional shares in the future. For grants of options, our Board of Directors will determine the timing and size of the grants and the consideration or services required therefor. Our Board of Directors intends to use its reasonable business judgment to fulfill its fiduciary obligations to our then existing stockholders in connection with any such grant. Nonetheless, future issuances of additional shares pursuant to options granted could cause immediate and substantial dilution to the net tangible book value of shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately before such transaction. Any future decrease in the net tangible book value of such issued and outstanding shares could materially and adversely affect the market value of the shares.
 
Our common stock has experienced only extremely limited trading.
 
Currently, our common stock is quoted and traded in very limited quantities on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board under the trading symbol of "PNTV." There can be no assurance as to the prices at which the shares of our common stock will trade. Until shares of our common stock become more broadly held and orderly markets develop and even thereafter, the price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly. The Price for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the following:
 
 
·
The depth and liquidity of the markets for our common stock;
 
·
Investor perception of us and the industry in which we participate;
 
·
General economic and market conditions;
 
·
Responses to quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results;
 
·
Failure to meet securities analysts' estimates;
 
·
Changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
 
·
Conditions, trends or announcements in our industry;
 
·
Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;
 
·
Additions or departures of key personnel;
 
·
Sales of our common stock;
 
·
Accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting rules that affect our financial statements; and
 
·
Other factors and events beyond our control.

The market price of our common stock could experience significant fluctuations unrelated to our operating performance. As a result, a stockholder (due to personal circumstances) may be required to sell such stockholder’s shares of our common stock at a time when our stock price is depressed due to random fluctuations, possibly based on factors beyond our control.
 
13

 
The trading price of our common stock may entail additional regulatory requirements, which may negatively affect such trading price.
 
The trading price of our common stock has been and may continue to be below $5.00 per share. As a result of this price level, trading in our common stock is subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. These rules require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades generally involving any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such rules require the delivery, before any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith, and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions). For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must determine the suitability of the penny stock for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction before sale. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock. As a consequence, the market liquidity of our common stock could be severely affected or limited by these regulatory requirements.
 
Because our board of directors does not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, stockholders may have to sell their shares of our common stock to realize a return on their investment in the company.
 
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. To date, we have paid no dividends. Our Board of Directors does not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future, but instead intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations. Accordingly, a return on an investment in shares of our common stock may be realized only through a sale of such shares, if at all.
 
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
 
We have a library of over 850 gambling and gaming lifestyle videos and we produce an average of 15 to 20 new videos per month. We own the intellectual property rights in the programming and content that we produce. Moreover, the slogans “Everybody wants to be a player” and “The only game in town” are registered trademarks of the Company with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “PTO”). The Company has received from the PTO the trademark for “Players Network” and for the service mark “Players Network.”
 
The principal executive office of Players Network is located at 4620 Polaris Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89103. Players Network occupies approximately 8,500 square feet of combined office space, video production soundstage, technical and administrative operations, and warehouse space at these premises pursuant to a lease, which was renewed in March 2005 for a three-year term. The monthly rent is $6,048. Our minimum operating lease payments are $72,578 in 2007 and $12,096 in 2008.
 
These properties are in good condition, well maintained and adequate for Players Network’s current and immediately foreseeable operating needs. Players Network does not have any policies regarding investments in real estate, securities or other forms of property.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us.
 
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
We did not submit any matters to a vote of our security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2006.

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
 
Overview and Outlook
 
Players Network was incorporated in the State of Nevada in March of 1993. For most of its existence, the Company has owned and operated a digital 24-hour entertainment network called “PLAYERS NETWORK,” which specialized in producing television programming to serve the gaming industry and was designed to educate new players and promote casino games and activities. Until 2006, the Company distributed its programming exclusively through a single customized private cable channel broadcast directly into the guestrooms of casino and non-casino hotels in Las Vegas and Atlantic City.

In 2005, the Company realigned its focus away from its private network strategy toward a highly distributed business-to-consumer digital network strategy. We began implementing this strategy by seeking partners to broadcast our programming through new distribution channels, including Video on Demand (VOD) Television, broadband internet, and mobile devices such as cell phones and PDA’s. In 2006, we entered into distribution agreements with Comcast Communications, Yahoo, Google and Google.UK.
.
Through these new distribution channels, the Company can deliver live and taped original television series, radio programs, information segments and interactive content. We intend to expand our programming to include popular poker programs, reality shows, game shows, documentaries, talk shows and special events on the gaming lifestyle.

In 2006, we generated revenues primarily from three sources: fees generated from the leasing of our production facilities in Las Vegas, Nevada, advertising revenues and content licensing fees. As we implement our strategy, we expect revenues from advertising and content licensing to increase.
 
As we continue to expand our business and implement our business strategy, our current monthly cash flow requirements will exceed our near term cash flow from operations. Our available cash resources and anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our anticipated costs associated with new product development. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations in future periods to satisfy our capital requirements. Therefore, we will have to continue to rely on external financing activities, including the sale of our equity securities, to satisfy our capital requirements for the foreseeable future. Due, in part, to our lack of historical earnings, our prior success in attracting additional funding has been limited to transactions in which our equity is used as currency. In light of the availability of this type of financing, and the lack of alternative proposals, our board of directors has determined that the continued use of our equity for these purposes may be necessary if we are to sustain operations. Equity financings of the type we have been required to pursue are dilutive to our stockholders and may adversely impact the market price for our shares. However, we have no commitments for borrowings or additional sales of equity, the precise terms upon which we may be able to attract additional funding is not known at this time, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in consummating any such future financing transactions on terms satisfactory to us, or at all.

Revenues:
 
During fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, we received revenues primarily from three sources - licensing fees from our private networks and the sale of in-home media, advertising fees, and fees from third party programming production. Aggregate revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $230,853 compared to revenues of $462,842 in the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease in revenues of $231,989, or 82%. 2006 revenues declined as a result of the change in our business focus away from our legacy business to our new distribution strategy. In addition, in 2005 we also experienced higher revenues as a result of a one-time event -- a live webcast at The World Series of Poker - pursuant to which we received approximately $140,000.
 
Direct Operating Costs:
 
Direct operating costs were $219,904 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $578,022 for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $358,118 or 62%. A substantial portion of our direct operating costs in 2005 were directly related to the production of our webcast at The World Series of Poker event. Direct operating costs are comprised of video production and distribution costs.
 
General and Administrative:
 
General and administrative expenses were $621,208 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $285,014 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $336,194 or approximately 118%. General and administrative expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 2005 due to increases of approximately $56,000 in professional fees, $42,000 in insurance expenses, $25,000 in marketing fees, $50,000 in casual labor related to the sound stage rentals, $95,000 in increased payroll taxes & associated penalties, $22,000 in increased employee benefits, and approximately $46,000 of increased expenses in general business expenses as a result of increased production activities. The increased expenses were funded primarily with increased liabilities of approximately $207,000 in accounts payable and $100,000 increase in accrued expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company also recorded non-cash professional fees expenses totaling $33,150. The non-cash expenses consisted of the value of common stock, recorded at fair value, issued for services.
 
Bad debt:

Bad debt expense was $30,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $12,750 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $17,250 or 135%. Bad debt expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 2005 due to the write off of a note receivable.
 
Salaries and wages:
 
Salaries and wage expense was $621,478 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $541,842 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $79,636 or 15%.

The non-cash expenses consisted of the value of common stock, recorded at fair value, issued to Mr. Bradley and Mr. Berk. Salaries and wage expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 2005 primarily because of an increase in the shares issued to Mr. Berk and Mr. Bradley as compensation and the corresponding increase in non-cash compensation expenses.

Our principal source of operating capital has been provided from private sales of our common stock, revenues from operations, and, to a limited extent, debt financing. At December 31, 2006, we had a negative working capital position of approximately $640,225. As we continue the shift in our business focus and attempt to expand operational activities, we expect to continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations in amounts not now determinable, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings and debt borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs. We do not now have funds sufficient to fund our operations at their current level for the next 12 months. We need to raise additional cash to fund our operations and implement our business plan. We expect that the additional financing will (if available) take the form of a private placement of equity, although we may be constrained to obtain additional debt financing in lieu thereof. We are maintaining an on-going effort to locate sources of additional funding, without which we will not be able to remain a viable entity. No financing arrangements are currently under contract, and there are no assurances that we will be able to obtain adequate financing. If we are able to obtain the financing required to remain in business, eventually achieving operating profits will require substantially increasing revenues or drastically reducing expenses from their current levels or both. If we are able to obtain the required financing to remain in business, future operating results depend upon a number of factors that are outside of our control.
 
To conserve on the Company's capital requirements, the Company has issued shares in lieu of cash payments to employees and outside consultants, and the Company expects to continue this practice in fiscal 2007. In fiscal 2006, the Company issued 1,915,666 shares valued at $609,823 in lieu of cash payments to employees and outside consultants. The Company is not now in a position to determine an approximate number of shares that the Company may issue for the preceding purpose in fiscal 2007.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
 
Going concern
 
Our financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, we have incurred recurring net losses of $2,154,460 and $3,469,568 in 2006 and 2005, respectively, and we have an accumulated deficit of $13,321,783 and a working capital deficit of $640,225 as of December 31, 2006. In order to obtain the necessary capital, we will need to raise additional funds. There are no assurances that we will be successful in raising additional capital, without which it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.
 
20

 
The financial statements include adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Revenue recognition
 
For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.
 
Network revenue consists of monthly stage rentals, advertising sales, sponsorships, content licensing, and Pay Per view revenue, which is recognized as the service is performed. Broadcast television advertising revenue is recognized when advertisements are aired. Video production revenue is recognized as digital video film is completed and accepted by the customer. Stage rentals are recognized during the rental period, Sponsorship revenues are recognized when an entity sponsors the production of a show or specific content. Pay Per View revenues will be recognized when a viewer purchases the event to watch or participate in a live or pre taped television or web event. Content licensing is recognized when a customer purchases the right to use the company’s content in a specific market or on a specific platform.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
The Company maintains a cash balances in interest and non-interest-bearing accounts, which do not currently exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
Income taxes
 
The Company applies recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases 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. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
 
21

 
Impairment of long-lived assets
 
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows of future operations. The Company recognized impairment losses of $0 and $15,496 during 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004). Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (R) during the fourth quarter of 2005. Stock issued for services and compensation totaled $980,588 and $2,580,910 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”) which supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3 “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of changes in accounting principle. The statement requires the retroactive application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 does not change the guidance for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements or the change in an accounting estimate. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe SFAS No. 154 will have an immediate significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.

The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to the financial statements beginning on page F-1.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
On October 28, 2005, Players Network dismissed Malone & Bailey, PC and appointed Beckstead & Watts, LLP, as our independent accountants for the year ending December 31, 2005. The reports of Malone & Bailey, PC on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty towards audit scope or accounting principles. Except for Malone & Bailey’s issuance of a going concern opinion on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, there were no disagreements between us and Malone & Bailey, PC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Malone & Bailey, PC would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its audit report.
 
On January 19, 2007, we dismissed Beckstead & Watts, LLP and appointed Weaver & Martin, LLC, as our independent accountants for the year ended December 31, 2006. This change in accountants was recommended and approved by our Executive Management and Board of Directors. Weaver & Martin, LLC was engaged by the Registrant on January 19, 2007. During the most recent two fiscal years and the portion of time preceding the decision to engage Weaver & Martin, LLC, we have not, nor has anyone engaged on our behalf, consulted with Weaver & Martin, LLC regarding (i) either the application of accounting principals to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(10(iv) of Regulation S-B) or a reportable event.
 
The audit report issued by Beckstead & Watts, LLP with respect to our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principals, except that Beckstead & Watts, LLP’s report contained an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. From October 28, 2005 through the date of Beckstead & Watts, LLP’s dismissal, there were no disagreements between us and Beckstead & Watts, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Beckstead & Watts, LLP would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its audit report.
 
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-14(c). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
The Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's 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")). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
 
23

 
However, due to the limited number of Company employees engaged in the authorization, recording, processing and reporting of transactions, there has been an inherent lack of segregation of duties. The Company has periodically assessed and will continue to assess the cost versus benefit of adding the resources that would remedy or mitigate this situation. Management does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to errors or fraud will not occur.
 
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation.

The Company does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.
 
Our board of directors has determined that if we were required to have a financial expert and/or an audit committee, Doug Miller, a Director, would be considered an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by applicable Commission rules and regulations. Based on the definition of “independent” applicable to audit committee members of Nasdaq-traded companies, our board of directors has further determined that Mr. Miller is considered to be “independent.”

Employment Agreements
 
In 2006 we employed Mr. Bradley under an extension of his employment agreement. This agreement provides that Mr. Bradley is entitled to receive an annual salary of $150,000. Provided that established criteria are met, Mr. Bradley is also entitled to 10% of all royalties that we receive from sources directly resulting from his efforts. He is also entitled to participate in any and all employee benefit plans established for the employees of the Company. The employment agreement confers upon Mr. Bradley a right of first refusal with respect to any proposed sale of all or a substantial portion of the Company's assets. The employment agreement does not contain a covenant not to compete preventing Mr. Bradley from competing with the Company after the termination of the employment agreement.
 
On January 1, 2005, we entered into a five-year employment agreement with Mr. Michael Berk, our President of Programming pursuant to which we agreed to pay Mr. Berk an annual salary of $150,000 plus 10% of all royalties that we receive from sources directly resulting from his efforts.

Termination of Employment

Mr. Bradley and Mr. Berk are each parties to employment agreements with the Company that provide for severance benefits in the event their employment is terminated by the Company (other than as a result of death or for cause) or by the employee as a result of a material breach by the Company of the employment agreement. In the event of such termination, the employee will be entitled to his base salary and all benefits for the remainder of the term of the employment agreement plus a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to two times his then current base salary and annual bonus (without regard to the performance requirements associated with such bonus). In addition, all outstanding stock options will be immediately vested. If the employee or his family is ineligible under the terms of any insurance to continue to be covered, the Company will either provide substantially equivalent coverage or pay the employee a lump sum payment equal to the value of the continuation of such insurance coverage.

ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
 
The following table presents information, to the best of our knowledge, about the beneficial ownership of our common stock on March 26, 2007, held by those persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of our capital stock and by our directors and executive officers.
 
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power. It also includes (unless footnoted) shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days after March 26, 2007 through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right. The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock, however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has converted options or warrants into shares of our common stock. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each listed stockholder is c/o Players Network, 4620 Polaris Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89103.

For each named person, this percentage includes Common Stock that the person has the right to acquire either currently or within 60 days of March 26, 2007, including through the exercise of an option; however, such Common Stock is not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage owned by any other person.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Players Network, Inc (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Players Network, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has reoccurring net losses and a working capital deficit. This 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.

Players Network
 
Notes to Financial Statements
 
Note 1 - Summary of Accounting Policies
 
Players Network (PNTV) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in March of 1993. Our business for most of our existence has been the ownership and operation of a digital 24-hour gaming and entertainment network called “PLAYERS NETWORK,” which specializes in producing television programming to serve the gaming industry. We broadcast our programming directly into the guestrooms of casino and non-casino hotels on a customized private cable channel. Our format is designed to educate new players and promote casino games and activities. Our programming includes shows on basic gaming instruction, news, sports and racing, entertainment and tournaments.
 
Although we will continue the PLAYERS NETWORK, in the future we intend to focus on distributing our programming through a new Broadband Network, which was launched near the end of July 2005, and through cable television, broadcast and satellite television, Video On Demand, Pay-Per-View, DVD distribution, television syndication, radio, print, and out-of-home media including mobile devices, additional land-based locations, in-flight venues, and on-board sources. During the year ended December 31, 2005, we entered into a multi-year agreement to provide programming through a Video On Demand channel.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
PNTV maintains cash balances in interest and non-interest-bearing accounts, which do not currently exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
Income taxes
 
PNTV 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. PNTV provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
 
Segment Reporting
 
The Company follows SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
 
F-7

 
Fair value of Financial Instruments
 
Financial instruments consist principally of cash, trade and notes receivables, trade and related party payables and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
 
Revenue recognition
 
For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.
 
Network revenue consists of monthly network broadcast subscription revenue, which is recognized as the service is performed. Broadcast television advertising revenue is recognized when advertisements are aired. Video production revenue is recognized as digital video film is completed and accepted by the customer. Stage rentals are recognized during the rental period.
 
Fixed assets
 
Fixed assets are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:
 
Video Filming and broadcast equipment  10 years 
Computer and office equipment  3-10 years 
 
Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which have extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets
 
Long-lived assets held and used by PNTV are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows of future operations. PNTV recognized impairment losses of $-0- and $15,496 during 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Advertising Costs
 
The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $16,175 and $35,066 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
F-8

 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
We generate a portion of our revenues and corresponding accounts receivable from the Casino and Hotel industry. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 100% of our accounts receivable were attributed to Casinos and Hotels. We evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable considering a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific reserve for bad debts against amounts due in order to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. For all other customers, we recognize reserves for bad debts based on past write-off experience and the length of time the receivables are past due. Bad debts expense was $30,000 and $12,750 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Basic and diluted loss per share
 
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For 2006 and 2005, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004). Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. PNTV adopted SFAS No. 123 (R) during the fourth quarter of 2005. Stock issued for services and compensation totaled $980,588 and $2,580,910 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”) which supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3 “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of changes in accounting principle. The statement requires the retroactive application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 does not change the guidance for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements or the change in an accounting estimate. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe SFAS No. 154 will have an immediate significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.
 
Note 2 - Going Concern
 
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, PNTV incurred recurring net losses of $2,154,460 and $3,469,568 in 2006 and 2005, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $13,321,783 and a working capital deficit of $640,225 as of December 31, 2006. In order to obtain the necessary capital, the Company is raising funds via a private placement offering. If the securities offering does not provide sufficient capital, some of the shareholders of the Company have agreed to provide sufficient funds as a loan over the next twelve-month period. However, the Company is dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that the Company will be successful, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.
 
F-9


The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 - Note Receivable and Bad Debt Expense
 
On October 27, 2005 PNTV issued an eight-month demand promissory note in the amount of $30,000 bearing interest at 5% per annum to an individual. The principal and interest were due on June 15, 2006. The company accrued $750 and $250 in interest receivable at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The note receivable does not appear to be collectible at December 31, 2006 and as such was written off as a bad debt.

Accrued interest on the above convertible notes totaled $14,825 at December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, principal and interest on the notes payable are convertible into 2,179,787 shares of common stock.
 
Interest expense totaled $21,515 and $5,286 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, of which $6,690 and $5,286, respectively was incurred from credit card finance charges and accounts payable finance charges.
 
The Company has recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $167,952 in connection with the convertible debentures. The resulting discount is being amortized over the term of the debt instruments. Amortization of the beneficial conversion feature was $28,079 at December 31, 2006.
 
Note 6 - Prepaid share-based compensation
 
During September 2006, the Company granted warrants for 166,666 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The warrants were issued to a consultant as part of a 26 week consulting agreement, and carried a one year term with no vesting period. The estimated value of the warrants, using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on a 143% volatility rate and a call option value of $0.1742 is $29,031, which was amortized as share-based compensation over the length of the consulting agreement. At December 31, 2006, $13,399 remained unamortized, and $15,632 had been expensed as share-based compensation.
 
During August 2006, the Company granted warrants for 600,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The warrants were issued to a consultant as part of a 26 week consulting agreement, and carried a two year term with no vesting period. The estimated value of the warrants, using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on a 132% volatility rate and a call option value of $0.1963 is $117,807, which was amortized as share-based compensation over the length of the consulting agreement. At December 31, 2006, $40,780 remained unamortized, and $77,027 had been expensed as share-based compensation.
 
F-11

 
Prepaid share-based compensation was $54,179 at December 31, 2006.
 
On December 9, 2005 the company issued 16,000 options with a strike price of $.50 in exchange for consulting services. The estimated value of the options, using the Black-Scholes pricing model was $8,728.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the consultant performed services totaling $3,723 and the remaining $5,005 was considered prepaid share-based compensation. The prepaid compensation was amortized as services were rendered to the Company.
 
Note 7 - Income taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”), which requires use of the liability method. SFAS No. 109 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $7,800,000 of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carryforwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2025.
 
The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset are as follows:
 
   
As of December 31,

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2006.
 
A reconciliation between the amount of income tax benefit determined by applying the applicable U.S. and State statutory income tax rate to pre-tax loss is as follows:

The fair value of each option and warrant grant are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants under the fixed option plan:

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-term traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. During 2006 and 2005, there were no options granted with an exercise price below the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.
 
The weighted average fair value of options granted with exercise prices at the current fair value of the underlying stock during 2006 was approximately $0.29 per option, and during 2005 was approximately $0.40 per option.
