Index to Exhibits....................................................37 PART I Item 1. Description of Business The Players Network (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, on March 16, 1993. The Company owns and operates a digital 24-hour gaming and entertainment network called "PLAYERS NETWORK" which specializes in producing television programming to serve the gaming industry. The Company currently broadcasts its programming directly into the guestrooms of casino hotels through a customized private cable channel. The Company's format is designed to educate new players and promote casino games and activities. The Company's programming includes shows in basic gaming instruction, news, sports and racing, entertainment and tournaments. The Company has, until recently, primarily operated as a television and video production company and programming distributor. Over the past years the Company has expanded the placement of its programming from hotel rooms and casino floors to home computers through the world wide web. Products and Services. - - ---------------------- In addition to operating a 24-hour closed-circuit gaming entertainment television network in a limited format to guestrooms in casino hotels, the Company's programming is also accessible on casino floors through interactive kiosks. The Company has produced a series of gaming instructional videos, including videos entitled "Game Watch" for International Game Technology ("IGT"). IGT distributes these videos to their casino customers to educate them on the latest slot machines and technology. The Company also operates and rents a television and video production sound stage in Las Vegas, Nevada. In September 1999 the Company launched PlayersNetwork.com, the Company's gaming portal and e-commerce world wide web site. Currently in the preview stage, www.PlayersNetwork.com (hereinafter referred to as "PlayersNetwork.com" or the "Company's Web Site") is a full service gaming information, e-commerce and interactive world wide web site. When fully operational, the Company anticipates that PlayersNetwork.com will include instructional videos both on a streaming full motion video basis and on demand. In addition to teaching visitors how to play casino games, PlayersNetwork.com allows visitors to preview casinos worldwide, make reservations and receive discounts on such items as airfare, hotels and gaming merchandise. PlayersNetwork.com will feature: (i) 24-hour televised live and prerecorded gaming-related programming, (ii) on-demand information services, including gaming financial reports, casino executive and industry profiles, gaming news reports, national lottery picks, show previews and a gaming travel guide and (iii) interactive multimedia services, including, daily slot and poker tournaments, interactive slot and video play, live chat and interviews with guests from the gaming industry and live events and special report web-cast. In December 1999 the Company entered into an agreement with Play Streaming Media Group ("Play") whereby the Company received the right to utilize Play's GlobeCaster video production system for the Company's network operations, video productions and world wide web broadcasting. The Company will utilize this technology to enter the video commerce industry with the launch of a 24-hour television network on their PlayersNetwork.com gaming and entertainment internet portal website. Play's GlobeCaster will enable the Company to record, edit and stream video onto the internet through PlayersNetwork.com. The Company plans to provide live broadcasts and pre-recorded programming on events involving the gaming and entertainment industries. Distribution and Marketing - - -------------------------- The Company markets its closed-circuit network television programs through "PLAYERS NETWORK" to hotel casinos. The Company's programming is currently available in hotel casinos in Nevada, Iowa, Louisiana and Mississippi. The Company's web site targets the millions of people who visit casinos in the United States each year as well as the those individuals who visit gaming destinations worldwide and who have access to the internet through a personal computer (and, to a limited extent, through a Web-TV). PlayersNetwork.com currently attracts individuals seeking gaming instruction, gaming merchandise, travel packages and city directories. As soon as it becomes fully operational, the Company's Web Site will target individuals seeking 24 hour live televised gaming-related programming and interactive multimedia services. In order to create an awareness of the Company's existence among individuals in the target markets, the Company intends to focus its marketing efforts primarily on other web sites that are co-branded with the Company's Web Site and which will enable users of the other sites to link up to the Company's Web Site. The use of search engines will also enable PlayersNetwork.com to be listed as a match if users type in key words such as "gaming," "poker," "racing" or "Las Vegas hotels and casinos." The Company will also employ direct marketing techniques that will primarily consist of mass mail campaigns targeting people who have been a guest at a casino resort in the last 36 months. Additionally, the Company will advertise the Company's Web Site through traditional media advertising, including radio, television, print and publicity campaigns. Competition. - - ------------ The Company is not aware of any other companies that currently offer services similar to the ones it provides within hotels and casinos. The Company believes that the hotels and casinos that currently provide guests with instructional video gaming and entertainment services either produce such products in-house or engage the services of video producers who do not specialize in producing videos for the gaming industry. Unlike these other video producers, the Company has already built a significant gaming video library, developed and acquired market research studies to validate audience demand, owns digital broadcast equipment and software and has aligned itself with a reserve of writers, producers and directors who understand the casino industry. Additionally, the Company believes that PlayersNetwork.com is the only web site that focuses on the gaming industry by offering gaming entertainment, education and information, gaming city directories, and thousands of gaming products but does not contain gambling. Although other internet sites provide travel reservation services, offer show tickets and educate their audiences about various gaming destinations, PlayerNetwork.com offers these services in addition to its original programming content. Principal Suppliers. - - -------------------- The Company's three principal suppliers are: (i) the Gamblers General Store ("General Store"), (ii) iTravel Marketing, Inc. ("Travel") and (iii) Play Streaming Media Group ("Play"). The General Store, which is the largest gambling supply store in the world, has given the Company the right to market and sell the General Store's products on the Company's Web Site. Currently the Company offers 900 products from the General Store's catalogue, including, playing cards, gaming chips, casino tables and slot and video poker machines. Travel provides individuals who are visiting the Company's web site access to, among other things, airline, rental car and hotel room reservations and golf tee-times. Play provides the Company equipment, training and technical support for the Company' s internet broadcast business. Trademark. - - ---------- 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 Company has filed applications for the trademark "Players Network" and for the service mark "Players Network" and is awaiting registration of these marks. Need for Governmental Approval. - - ------------------------------- The Company does not believe that any governmental approvals are required to sell its products or services. Cost of Research and Development. - - --------------------------------- In the last two years the Company has expended approximately $2,000,000 in research and development activities related to developing the Company's video library and internet site, including market research and the purchase of certain computer hardware and software. Employees. - - ---------- The Company currently has six full-time employees. Management will hire additional employees on an as needed basis. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement or labor union contract, nor has it been subjected to any strikes or employment disruptions in its history. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Plan of Operation Overview - - -------- The Company provides television and video production and programming related to gaming instruction and information to hotel casinos in Las Vegas and hotels throughout the United States on a private cable channel known as "PLAYERS NETWORK". The Company also has an independent working sound stage in Las Vegas on which it produces videos and rents to various production companies. In June 1999, the Company decided to capitalize on the opportunities available on the Internet and started a full e-commerce model, selling goods and services on a web site known as PLAYERSNETWORK.COM. The Web site, which is currently operational and being expanded, provides consumers with gaming "How to Play" information in print form and video from the Company's existing library of instructional gaming videos. PLAYERSNETWORK.COM provides visitors with gaming supplies at The Players General Store, a 900 item catalogue of gaming items including "How to Play" books and tapes, playing cards, casino quality gaming chips, casino game table tops, and actual casino tables and slot machines purchased off the floor of Las Vegas's casinos. PLAYERSNETWORK.COM also provides travel, tour, show ticket, and golf time reservation services. The Web site also provides information on every casino/gaming site worldwide and "City Guides" to every location where casinos are located. In addition, the site provides financial reports on casino and gaming companies stocks. The Company is establishing itself as a full 24-hour digital web broadcaster featuring live and previously recorded content. The Company had accumulated operating deficits of $3,543,298 and $2,853,502 as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. However, the Company had stockholders' equity of $762,337 and $527,623 as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. The Company expects operating losses and negative operating cash flow to continue for the foreseeable future. It anticipates losses to continue because it expects to incur additional costs and expenses related to brand development; marketing and other promotional activities, hiring of management, sales and other personnel; the expansion of infrastructure and customer support services; strategic relationship development; and possibly, the acquisition of related complementary businesses. The Company saves a significant amount of cash by offering a combination of cash and common stock and/or stock options to vendors and outside consultants for services and asset acquisition. Although the Company has experienced revenue growth since implementing its Internet e-commerce business, continued revenue growth may not be indicative of future operating results and there can be no assurance that it will achieve or maintain profitability. Due to these factors, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations are not necessarily a good indication of future performance. The results of operations in some future periods may be below the expectations of analysts and investors. While expanding its Internet e-commerce, the Company expects to enter into many barter arrangements. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the amounts of barter expense and revenue from the Internet are immaterial to the Company's operations. The Company saves money each year in travel expenses by using complimentary hotel rooms and food service for production staff and talent at client hotels during production shoots. Liquidity and Capital Resources - - ------------------------------- To date, operations have been financed from the sale of common stock, stockholder loans, equipment loans, and capital equipment leasing arrangements. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had $5,121 in cash. The Company has not established a line of credit with any financial institution and will continue to rely on the sale of stock for on-going liquidity. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an officer exchanged $289,366 of loans for 859,597 shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 1998, a shareholder exchanged $294,069 of loans for 408,430 shares. As the Company pursues its Internet e-commerce strategy, it expects to increase the number of full time employees. In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company added three employees raising the total to six. Recent Events - - ------------- The Company signed three agreements with hotels in December 1999 and January 2000, which will increase monthly subscription revenues by $10,000 per month. The agreements also include licensing fees of $48,000. In November 1999, the Company signed a production for hire agreement worth $240,000 to produce 40 videos from January to May 2000. In December 1999, the Company signed an agreement with Play Streaming Media Group, which agreed to deliver to the Company six "GlobeCasters" at no cost to the Company in exchange for syndication of PLAYERS NETWORK online video content. The syndication of online video content is referred to "V-Commerce" is an area of high interest among media companies. This equipment enables PLAYERS NETWORK to become a 24-hour a day web network broadcaster. The Company will be the first digital network focused gaming and entertainment content. In January 2000, the Company signed an agreement with iTravel Marketing and YouTicket.com to fulfill worldwide website room reservations, golf tee times and show tickets. iTravel Marketing also provides e-commerce Internet solutions and software and is the Company's Internet site programmer.

See the relevant discussions elsewhere herein. Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 - - -------------------------------------- Revenues increased 3,089% from $10,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $308,872 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase in revenues is due to the Company starting operations after leaving the development stage. The Company signed its first hotel client in the first quarter of 1998. The Company also had its first pay for production and stage rental income in the second quarter of 1998. The Company signed two more hotel customers and continued to perform paid production and obtain stage rentals through the remainder of the year. Selling, general and administrative charges increased 19% from $492,399 for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $586,637 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase in operating expenses was due to increases in office staff, sales and marketing expenses, legal and accounting expenses, occupancy expense and common stock issued for services rendered. Stock based compensation charged to operations was $324,537 for the year ended December 31, 1998. There was none charged to operations in 1997. Stock based compensation consists of common stock warrants and options issued to outside service providers in lieu of cash. In addition, the Company capitalized $51,690 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $237,913 for the year ended December 31, 1998 as video production costs. These costs include writers, directors, production supervisors whose services otherwise would be unaffordable to the Company. Depreciation and amortization increased 332% from $28,208 for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $121,969 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase was due to amortization of the capitalized video production costs, the carrying value of which increased 43% from $656,757 at December 31, 1997 to $940,848 at December 31, 1998. Interest expense increased 226% from $20,780 for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $67,859 for the year ended December 31, 1998 due to the increase in leases outstanding and the average balance of stockholders' loans throughout the year. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 - - --------------------------------------------- Revenues increased 11% from $ 218,970 for the period ended September 30, 1998 to $242,858 for the period ended September 30, 1999. The Company increased the number of hotel clients from three to five in 1999; however, it was unable to charge the new customers as much as they charged the earlier customers. The Company's second largest customer declined to renew its network license after a change in ownership. Selling, general and administrative charges increased 45% from $376,016 for the period ended September 30, 1998 to $546,310 for the period ended September 30, 1999. The increase in operating expenses was due to increases in office staff, sales and marketing expenses, and Internet programming development. Stock based compensation charged to operations was $243,043 for the period ended September 30, 1999. Stock based compensation consists of common stock, warrants and options issued to outside service providers in lieu of cash. In addition, the Company capitalized $0 for the period ended September 30, 1998 and $26,600 for the period ended September 30, 1999 as capitalized video production costs. These costs include writers, directors, production supervisors whose services other wise would be unaffordable to the Company. Depreciation and amortization increased 6% from $98,649 for the period ended September 30, 1998 to $104,302 for the period ended September 30, 1999. This was due to increase in amortization of the capitalized video production costs the value of which increased 38% from $685,097 at September 30, 1998 to $948,015 at September 30, 1999. Interest expense decreased 26% from $52,985 for the period ended September 30, 1998 to $38,999 for the period ended September 30, 1999 due to the conversion of $289,366 of shareholder loans to equity at various times from December 31, 1998 to September 30, 1999. Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure - - ------------------------------ Many existing computer programs cannot distinguish between a year beginning with "20" and a year beginning with "19" because they use only the last two digits to refer to a year. For example, these programs cannot tell the difference between the year 2000 and the year 1900. As a result, these programs may malfunction or fail completely. Since our business, and consequently, our hardware, telecommunication and software systems are new, we believe most of these systems are already year 2000 compliant and we do not expect internal year 2000 problems to materially affect us. Nevertheless, because our business relies heavily on the internet and on computer and telecommunication systems, including those of our suppliers, customers and other third parties, the year 2000 problem could seriously harm us. Item 3. Description of Property The principal executive office of the Company is located at 4620 Polaris Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103. This facility houses the Company's technical and administrative operations. The Company subleases approximately 7,200 square feet of combined office space and soundproofed warehouse at these premises pursuant to a 12 month sublease which commenced on March 1, 1998 and which is continuing on a month to month basis. The monthly rent is $5,300. The Company is currently negotiating a new lease arrangement for these premises with the lessor. The Company believes that this leased property is in good condition, is well maintained and is adequate for the Company's current and immediately foreseeable operating needs. The Company does not have any policies regarding investments in real estate, securities or other forms of property. Item 4.

The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock during the past two fiscal years and through September 30, 1999.

Item 2. Legal Proceedings On August 16, 1999, Jerome S. Kutner filed a complaint in the District Court of Clark County Nevada against the Company. Mr. Kutner's complaint alleges that the Company breached the Independent Consulting/Finder Fee Agreement (the "Fee Agreement") between the Company and Mr. Kutner when the Company failed to pay him monies owed under the Fee Agreement. Mr. Kutner has requested $183,000 in damages. The Company has alleged in its answer to Mr. Kutner's complaint that the Fee Agreement was superceded by a Settlement Agreement pursuant to which the Company and Mr. Kutner agreed that: (i) their respective obligations under the Fee Agreement would be terminated and (ii) the Company would pay Mr. Kutner $5,539.00 as satisfaction in full of all monies owed to him (the "Settlement Sum"). It is the Company's contention that the Settlement Agreement controls in this case and that Mr. Kutner is only entitled to the Settlement Sum. Item 3. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants The Company hired the accounting firm of Winter and Scheifley ("W&S") to audit its 1996 and 1997 financial statements. During such engagement W&S dissolved. The partner that had been in charge of auditing the Company's financial statements started his own practice and finished the 1996 and the 1997 Company audit. Although Mr. Scheifley proposed to audit the Company's 1998 financial statements, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the Company should hire a larger and more established accounting company. Therefore, in December of 1999 the Company hired the accounting firm of Friedman, Alpren & Green. The Company did not have any disagreements with W&S or Mr. Scheifley on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure. Mr. Scheifley's report on the financial statements for 1996 and 1997 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

The Players Network Notes to Financial Statements 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Players Network (the "Company"), was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 16, 1993. The Company is engaged in the development and marketing of a customized, interactive, full-service gaming television network. The Company filed a 15c2-11 with the National Association of Securities Dealers, which became effective on March 30, 1998 and received the stock-trading symbol PNTV. The Company's common stock is listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. Estimates: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Research and development: The Company expenses all research and development costs related to the production of videos for its gaming television network. Research and development costs charged to operations were $44,363 for the year ended December 31, 1997. Capitalized video production costs: In 1997 and 1998, the Company capitalized the costs necessary to produce videos, and began amortizing the costs in 1998 over the expected marketable life of the videos, which is currently estimated at ten years. Management periodically evaluates the recoverability of the capitalized video production costs. Amortization expense of approximately $84,000 was charged to operations for the year ended December 31, 1998. There was no amortization expense in 1997. Property and equipment: Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in that period. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to operations as incurred and significant renewals or betterments are capitalized. Useful lives for property and equipment are as follows: Office furniture 10 years Office equipment 5-10 years Video Equipment 10 years Intangible assets: The Company has applied for trademark protection for its videos. Trademark costs aggregating $2,449 are amortized using the straight-line method over a period of ten years. The Company incurred certain costs in obtaining lease financing. These costs have been capitalized and are amortized over the lives of the leases (60 months). THE PLAYERS NETWORK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Long-lived assets: The Company makes reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. The Company has identified no such impairment losses for 1998 and 1997. Basic and diluted loss per share: The basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Basic loss per share is unchanged on a diluted basis since the assumed exercise of potential common stock would have an anti-dilutive effect. Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue from hotel in-house network contracts as the broadcasts are aired. Advertising revenue is recognized as the advertisements are aired. Advertising costs: The Company's policy is to expense advertising costs as a period expense. Advertising costs of $ 475 and $ 3,418 were charged to operations during the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Stock-based compensation: The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (SFAS 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The Company measures compensation expense for its stock-based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and has provided in Note 9 pro forma disclosures of the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based method prescribed by SFAS 123 had been applied in measuring compensation expense. New accounting pronouncement: SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative instruments and Hedging Activities", was issued in June 1998 and was subsequently amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 133 addresses the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. Adoption of these pronouncements is required for the period beginning on July 1, 2000. The Company does not expect these pronouncements to have a material impact on the results of operations of the company. Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. THE PLAYERS NETWORK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consist of the following: Furniture and equipment $ 14,209 Video equipment 359,622 Work-in process 21,359 ---------- Total cost 395,190 Accumulated depreciation (65,591) ---------- Net book value $ 329,599 ========== Depreciation expense charged to operations amounted to $37,257 and $28,208 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The cost of equipment held under capital leases totaled $ 33,121 at December 31, 1998. The related accumulated depreciation was $ 9,156 at December 31, 1998. 3. INSTALLMENT EQUIPMENT PURCHASE During 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor to purchase video equipment for $326,500. The purchase has been executed through the exchange of 50,000 shares of common stock valued at $75,000, cash payment of $176,500 to be made in 1998, and $75,000 of deferred advertising services to be performed over a 3 year period. In addition, the vendor was given options to purchase an additional 20,000 shares of common stock at $2.50 per share and 30,000 shares at $3.00 per share. The options expired in 1998 and 1999 and were never exercised. The Company made $20,000 in payments of the installment agreement and performed no advertising services in 1998. 4. NOTES PAYABLE, STOCKHOLDERS The Company has short-term notes payable with three stockholders aggregating $411,304 as of December 31, 1998. The notes are unsecured, payable on demand and bear interest at 10% per annum.
