Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to not make the information presented misleading.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008 and notes thereto included in the Company's 10-K annual report. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.

Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.

Note 2 – Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying condensed financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of ($16,896,590), and as of June 30, 2009, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,329,002 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $1,352,624. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new ventures to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. Management believes these factors will contribute toward achieving profitability. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

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.

Accrued interest on the above convertible notes totaled $20,394 and $58,039 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Interest expense totaled $35,400 and $42,208 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, of which $2,305 and $3,903, respectively, was incurred from credit card finance charges and accounts payable finance charges.

In addition, in accordance with EITF No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”(“EITF 98-5”) and EITF No. 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” (“EITF 00-27”), the Company recognized and measured the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible debt, by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the feature to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value of the feature was calculated on the commitment date using the effective conversion price between the detachable common stock issued and the convertible debt. This intrinsic value is limited to the portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible debt.

The aforementioned accounting treatment resulted in a total debt discount equal to ($167,952). The discount is amortized over a three-year period, from the date of issuance until the stated redemption date of the debt.

According to the terms of the Convertible Promissory Notes, the estimated number of shares that would be received upon conversion was 2,701,786 shares at June 30, 2009.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded financial expenses in the amount of $21,112 and $27,584, respectively, attributed to the amortization of the aforementioned debt discount.

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:

	2009			2008

Average risk-free interest rates		2.05	%		2.02	%
Average expected life (in years)		3			2
Volatility		294	%		180	%

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 2009 and 2008, 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 the six months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $0.20 per option, and during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $0.20 per option. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company incurred stock based compensation expense of $186,915.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview and Outlook

Players Network was incorporated in the State of Nevada in March of 1993. Players Network is a global media and entertainment company engaged in the development, production, distribution and marketing of television programs and internet broadcasting about the Las Vegas and Gaming Lifestyles, and other related entertainment themes.

With an emphasis on unique, high-quality programming that captures the excitement, passion, enjoyment, sex appeal, entertainment, information, celebrity, and the non-stop adrenaline rush of the Las Vegas Gaming Lifestyle, Players Network’s content goes beyond poker, casino action, sports betting, and racing, to lifestyle programs about entertainment and fine living, attracting the young and the sophisticated viewers who view digital content most.

Much of Players Network’s programming is educational, involving experts helping viewers become smarter gaming consumers, so when they visit a casino they have the best chance possible to win. Many shows are celebrity driven, since so many celebrities in movies and music, TV and sports come to Las Vegas to play.

Players Network programming is conceived and produced to create successful advertising, cross-promotional and marketing opportunities for distributors and sponsors by engaging this highly targeted, desirable audience in programming that excites them.

The Company signed distribution agreements with Telco and satellite giants AT&T and Verizon pursuant to which the Company’s content will be distributed over these companies’ IPTV platforms. The Company also signed agreements with Direct TV and EchoStar to deliver Players Network branded Video On Demand channels. Management believes that the addition of these new distribution platforms will enable the Company to begin to generate revenues from advertising.

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 the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we received revenues primarily from two sources - licensing fees from our private networks, including the sale of in-home media, advertising fees, and production revenues, which included fees from third party programming production and sound stage rentals. Aggregate revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $16,713 compared to revenues of $72,518 in the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease in revenues of $55,805, or 77%. Revenues from networks were down significantly in the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to a significant reduction in advertising spending and slow acceptance of the company’s media content. Production revenues decreased significantly as well due to a sharp decline in the use of sound stages and other production facilities to produce content for our customers. Our customers have tightened their budgets and, as a result, our revenues have decreased.

Our direct operating costs in 2009 increased due to an increase in our audio/video content, much of which was paid in common stock in lieu of cash. During the three months ending June 30, 2009 we issued 455,000 shares valued at $53,500 for video production services.

Salaries and wage expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2008 primarily because of the issuance of a bonus paid in common stock to the CEO recorded at fair value in the amount of $35,000.

Rent. Rent expense was $18,750 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $19,536 for the three month ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $786, or 1%. The decrease was due to a reduction in late fees from the comparative period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following table summarizes total assets, accumulated deficit, stockholders’ equity and working capital at June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008.

	June 30, 2009		June 30, 2008
Total Assets	$	9,467	$	46,707

Accumulated (Deficit)	$	(16,896,590)	$	(15,559,088)

Stockholders’ Equity	$	(1,352,624)	$	(1,025,810)

Working Capital (Deficit)	$	(1,329,002)	$	(624,996)

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 June 30, 2009, we had cash of $4,589 and a negative working capital position of $(1,329,002). 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 twelve 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 throughout 2009. In the three months ending June 30, 2009, the Company issued 3,003,794 shares of common stock valued at $372,053, and, 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 the remainder of 2009.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1943, as amended) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that as of June 30, 2009 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Principal Executive Officer does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud.

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Throughout the six months ended June 30, 2009, we began the implementation of a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses identified during the audit of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weaknesses related to the fact that our accounting resources did not include enough people with the detailed knowledge, experience and training in the selection and application of certain accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) to meet our financial reporting needs. These control deficiencies contributed to material weaknesses in internal control with respect to segregation of duties, controls over financial reporting at the India subsidiary, stockholders equity and share-based compensation, acquisitions as well as financial statement presentation and disclosures. We have hired consultants with the necessary accounting knowledge, experience and training to meet the needs of our organization. We will continue to implement process changes and hire employees or consultants to address the material weaknesses noted in the internal controls over financial reporting for fiscal 2009. Once placed in operation for a sufficient period of time, we will evaluate the overall effectiveness of these new process changes to determine if they are operating effectively.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls

Our management, including our CEO, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
