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, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. 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.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”). The ASC has become the single source of non-governmental accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements. The ASC does not supersede the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), therefore, the rules and interpretive releases of the SEC continue to be additional sources of GAAP for the Company. The Company adopted the ASC as of July 1, 2009. The ASC does not change GAAP and did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 ($17,555,892), and as of September 30, 2009, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $907,268 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $931,043. 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. These 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.

This intrinsic value is limited to the portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible debt.

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		1.85	%		2.02	%
Average expected life (in years)		3			2
Volatility		417	%		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.

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.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				Increase / (Decrease)

Net (Loss)	$	(659,302)	$	(176,846)	$	(482,456)

Revenues. During the three months ended September 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 September 30, 2009 were $4,833 compared to revenues of $18,795 in the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease in revenues of $13,962 or 74%. Revenues from networks were down significantly in the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to the discontinuation of our revenue stream from sound stage rentals, as well as, a significant reduction in advertising revenues and slow acceptance of the company’s media content. On July 1, 2009 we decided to close down our sound stage leasing operations and move our offices into a more affordable location. The cost savings derived from the discontinuation of our unproductive sound stage rentals will help us focus on the development of our media business.

Direct Operating Costs. Direct operating costs were $154,489 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $28,915 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $125,574, or 434%. 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 September 30, 2009 we granted the issuance of 780,000 shares valued at $88,0000, and 150,000 stock options valued at $14,480, for video production services. We also incurred $30,000 in video production costs that increased our accounts payable balance to one of our major vendors, while we issued 500,000 shares in payment of $60,000 in outstanding accounts payable invoices. In 2009 we continued to develop and distribute our content without maximizing our sales potential. Direct operating costs are comprised of video production and distribution costs.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $258,612 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $107,269 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $151,343, or 141%. The increase in general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily due to increased marketing relations expenses. During the three months ending September 30, 2009 we paid $182,533 of marketing relations expenses, of which, we granted the issuance of 1,310,000 shares valued at $131,000, and 400,000 common stock options valued at $39,619. We also incurred additional costs by outsourcing professional services and administrative functions, of which, we granted the issuance of 330,000 shares valued at $33,000.

Salaries and wages. Salaries and wage expense was $200,904 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $47,694 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $153,210, or 321% due primarily to the issuance of 1,500,000 in common stock options valued at $149,646 as a bonus to the Company’s CEO.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 2008 was due to fixed assets becoming fully depreciated after the period ending September 30, 2008. The Company has not purchased new assets to replace fully depreciated assets.

Net Operating Loss. Net operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $657,784 compared to a net operating loss of $185,421 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $472,363, or 255%.

Revenues During the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $51,901 compared to revenues of $214,710 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease in revenues of $162,809, or 76%. Revenues from networks were down significantly in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 due to the discontinuation of our revenue stream from sound stage rentals, as well as, a significant reduction in advertising revenues and slow acceptance of the company’s media content. On July 1, 2009 we decided to close down our sound stage leasing operations and move our offices into a more affordable location. The cost savings derived from the discontinuation of our unproductive sound stage rentals will help us focus on the development of our media business.

Direct Operating Costs Direct operating costs were $420,050 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $261,009 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $159,041, or 61%. 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 nine months ending September 30, 2009 we issued 1,840,500 shares valued at $220,215 for video production services. We also issued 500,000 shares in payment of $60,000 in outstanding accounts payable invoices to one of our major vendors. In 2009 we continued to develop and distribute our content without maximizing our sales potential. Direct operating costs are comprised of video production and distribution costs.

General and Administrative General and administrative expenses were $524,447 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $298,103 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $226,344, or 76%. The increase in general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily due to an increased use of independent contractors to provide marketing relations and professional and administrative services.

Salaries and wages Salaries and wage expense was $581,697 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $274,557 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $307,140, or 112%. The Company recorded non-cash payments on accrued salaries and wages totaling $475,770 and $203,771, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which included accrued salaries from prior periods. The non-cash payments consisted of the value of common stock, recorded at fair value, issued to employees of 158,631 and $116,575 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as well as, common stock options, recorded at fair value of $317,149 and $51,196 or the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and also, preferred stock, recorded at fair value of $-0- and $36,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Salaries and wage expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 2008 primarily because of an increase in the issuance of common stock options to Officers, and a common stock bonus to the CEO valued at $81,157 during the nine months ending September 30, 2009.

Board of director services Board of director services expense was $68,852 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $6,981 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $61,871, or 886%. Board of director services increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 2008 due to an increase in the compensation for board services, which included the issuance of common stock, as well as, common stock options in 2009, while only common stock options were granted to board members in 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded non-cash expenses for consulting services totaling $68,852 and $123,357. The non-cash expenses consisted of the value of common stock and common stock options, recorded at fair value, issued to board members.

Depreciation and amortization Depreciation and amortization expense was $458 the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $4,555 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $4,097, or 90%. The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 2008 was due to fixed assets becoming fully depreciated after the period ending September 30, 2008. The Company has not purchased new assets to replace fully depreciated assets.

Net Operating Loss Net operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,599,631 compared to a net operating loss of $687,792 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $911,839 or 87%. Net operating loss increased primarily as a result of our increased non-cash payments in common stock for officer salaries, marketing relations and professional and administrative fees, and decreased revenues in 2009 compared to 2008.

Net Loss The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,656,728 compared to a net loss of $616,719 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increased net loss of $1,040,009, or 169%. Net loss increased primarily as a result of our increased non-cash payments in common stock for officer salaries, marketing relations and professional and administrative fees, and decreased revenues in 2009 compared to 2008, as well as, debt forgiveness income of $127,706 in 2008 that was not recognized in 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

	September 30, 2009		September 30, 2008
Total Assets	$	9,225	$	46,353

Accumulated (Deficit)	$	(17,555,892)	$	(15,899,164)

Stockholders’ Equity	$	(931,043)	$	(1,150,767)

Working Capital (Deficit)	$	(907,268)	$	(1,018,505)

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 September 30, 2009, we had cash of $(608) and a negative working capital position of (907,268). 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 nine months ending September 30, 2009, the Company granted 6,858,794 shares of common stock valued at $718,053, 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 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

Not applicable due to smaller reporting company status.

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 September 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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, other than those stated below, during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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

Throughout the nine months ended September 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.

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.
