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 2007 and 2006, 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 and warrants granted with exercise prices at the current fair value of the underlying stock during the nine months ending September 30, 2007 was approximately $0.44 per option, or warrant.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

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, In 2007, we entered into agreements with TIVO and You Tube.

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.

In April 2007, the Company entered into a one-year distribution agreement with TIVO, which will provide the Company with a minimum of 585,000 set top boxes through which the Company’s programming can be delivered. Any revenue to be received by the Company will be from sales of advertising.

During January 2007 the Company entered into an agreement with High Speed Motor Sports Inc. to co-develop existing video footage involving Vintage Drag Racing. Pursuant to the agreement, High Speed Motor Sports is obligated to contribute $45,000 toward development costs and the Company is obligated to contribute development services. In addition, the two companies will share equally in any proceeds from future sales, or television revenues. High Speed Motor Sports paid $22,500 to Players Network on January 23, 2007 to fund the project. The Company has recorded the funds received to date as a liability until development is completed.
 
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. The Company's business plan will require substantial additional and ongoing content production and programming development, which will require the Company to incur significant production and development costs, including related services such as writing, directing, production, and post-production services. Most of these services are provided to the Company by free-lance consultants. 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.
 
In 2007 Players Network plans to continue focusing the Company’s efforts on building its proprietary library of original Las Vegas and Gaming Lifestyle video content, which will enable Players Network to continue supplying its current distribution platforms on Television, Internet Broadband, and other digital platforms, with high-quality, original content, while continuing to expand its worldwide distribution to new platforms and thereby increase its viewership, leading to increased value for Players Network advertisers. Players Network will also continue to aggressively market its content in order to secure increased advertising revenue from the rapidly growing Video On Demand (VOD) market, and internet based distribution vehicles, such as YouTube.

Players Network will also continue to actively pursue new and innovative uses for its sound stage both as an in-house venue for its own productions, and rental stage for other productions. It is Players Network’s goal to keep the sound stage rentals at full occupancy over the next twelve months.

Revenues:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we received revenues primarily from three sources - licensing fees from our private networks and the sale of in-home media, advertising fees, and third party programming and production fees. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $5,045 to $89,759, an increase of approximately 6% over the prior year period. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $46,071 to $240,165 an increase of approximately 24% over the prior year period. Revenues increased primarily due to an increase in DVD sales of our video content, and an increase in production fees related to the sale of our “Winners and Jackpots” programming with a major cable television company.

Direct operating costs:

Direct operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $34,080 to $92,727, an increase of approximately 37% over the prior year period. Direct operating costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $105,481 to $256,241 or approximately 70% over the prior year period. Direct operating costs increased primarily as a result of increased development of video content needed to expand our programming base. The costs were expensed, rather than capitalized, due to the uncertainty of realizing future revenues from the video content.

General and administrative:
 
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $54,407 to $93,254 an increase of approximately 58%, as a result of increased professional fees. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by $32,046 to $279,197 a decrease of approximately 10%. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were comprised of approximately $96,000 in professional fees, $18,000 in utilities expenses, $18,000 in insurance expenses, $4,000 in marketing fees, $79,000 in payroll taxes, $4,300 in employee benefits, and approximately $60,000 related to miscellaneous operating costs. Approximately 7% of general and administrative expenses were paid through the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company recorded these non-cash expenses at the fair value of the common stock issued for services.
 
Salaries and wages:

Salaries and wages expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $16,173 to $158,211 an increase of approximately 11% as a result of officer bonuses paid in preferred stock. Salaries and wages expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $53,621 to $455,165 an increase of approximately 13%. The Company recorded non-cash expenses for salaries and wages of $60,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

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. As shown in the accompanying condensed financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of ($14,759,246), and as of September 30, 2007, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $606,902 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $1,029,929.

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 for the foreseeable future. In the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company issued 752,169 shares of common stock valued at $93,575 in lieu of cash payments to employees and outside consultants. The Company is not in a position currently 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 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 in 2006 and $1,437,463 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and we have an accumulated deficit of $14,759,246 and a working capital deficit of $606,902 as of September 30, 2007. 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.
 
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

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.

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.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATION

Risks Associated With Our Business and Marketplace

We have incurred substantial losses and expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

For the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we sustained net losses of $2,154,460 and $3,469,568, respectively. At September 30, 2007 we had a working capital deficit of $606,902. Capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant, and our cash requirements have exceeded cash flow from operations since inception. We are in need of additional capital to continue our operations and have been dependent on the proceeds of private placements of our securities to satisfy working capital requirements. We will continue to be dependent upon the proceeds of future offerings or to fund development of products, short-term working capital requirements, marketing activities and to continue implementing the current business strategy. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the necessary capital to continue operations.

We will 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 believe that current cash on hand, anticipated revenues from operations and the other sources of liquidity are not sufficient to fund our operations through fiscal 2007. 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.

If operating difficulties or other factors, many of which are beyond our control, cause our revenues or cash flows from operations to decrease, we may be limited in our ability to spend the capital necessary to enhance our operations. If our resources or cash flows do not satisfy our operational needs, we will require additional financing, in addition to anticipated cash generated from our operations, to fund our planned growth. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In such a capital restricted situation, we may maintain a status quo operational position and curtail any expansion plans.

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.

Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’ assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

We have a limited number of personnel that are required to perform various roles and duties. Furthermore, we have one individual, our CEO, who is responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with our internal control procedures. As a result, our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

Our business is speculative, among other reasons, because our revenues are derived from the acceptance of our programming. Predicting what type of programming will be popular is difficult and our failure to develop appealing programming could materially adversely affect our business.

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.

We will rely on a number of third parties, and such reliance exposes us to a number of risks.

Our operations depend on a number of third parties. We have limited control over these third parties and will most likely not have 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 website. 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 website 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.

The current change in our business focus presents a number of challenges and may not prove to be successful or allow for us to become profitable.

Historically, we have distributed our programming by means of multiple platforms including television syndication, DVD sales, our website, and our proprietary 24-hour private network inside Las Vegas and Atlantic City gaming hotels. We recently decided to change our focus and broaden our distribution channels. In 2006, we broadened our operations and begun to focus on distributing our programming through a new Broadband Network, and through cable television, broadcast and satellite television, Video On Demand, Pay-Per-View, DVD distribution. This change in focus is expected to increase our costs, to require the additional financing being sought hereby, and to affect our financial model in terms of margins, cash flow requirements, and other areas. We have an extremely limited history with respect to the direction our business is now taking. 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.

We may be adversely affected by changing consumer preferences.

Gambling 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.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Common Stock

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. More specifically, NASD has enacted Rule 6530, which determines eligibility of issuers quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board by requiring an issuer to be current in its filings with the Commission. Pursuant to Rule 6530(e), if we file our reports late with the Commission three times in a two-year period or our securities are removed from the OTC Bulletin Board for failure to timely file twice in a two-year period then we will be ineligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. Our quarterly reports for the periods ended June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006 were considered late as we were unable to meet the filing grace period as defined under Rule 12b-25. Therefore, if we have one more late filing within the next two years we will be in jeopardy of losing our eligibility for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, which could severely adversely affect the market liquidity for our securities by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Because our common stock is deemed a low-priced “Penny” Stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.

Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment of our common stock. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:

·  
Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
·  
Disclose certain price information about the stock;
·  
Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
·  
Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and
·  
In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.

Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.

NASD sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of Mark Bradley, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2007, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission's rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon his evaluation, Mr. Bradley concluded that as of September 30, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II--OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. 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 2. Changes in Securities

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On July 20, 2007, the Company sold 1,250,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase another 1,250,000 shares at $0.25 per share, to an accredited investor for $250,000.

The 100,000 shares of common stock were recorded as donated capital and valued at $20,000. The other 100,000 shares of common stock were also valued at $20,000. The entire expense of $40,000 is being amortized over the 4 month life of the agreement, and $5,000 was expensed in the three months ending September 30, 2007.

We believe that the issuance of all the shares described above was exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2). The shares were issued directly by the Company and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation. Each individual/entity was afforded an opportunity for effective access to files and records of the Company that contained the relevant information needed to make its investment decision, including the financial statements and Exchange Act reports. We reasonably believe that the individuals/entities immediately prior to issuing the shares, had such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment. Additionally, the individuals/entities had the opportunity to speak with our management on several occasions prior to its investment decision.
