Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

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, 2012 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments. In addition, the Company had debt instruments that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.

Cost Method of Accounting for Investments

Investee companies not accounted for under the consolidation or the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under this method, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of such Investee companies is not included in the Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations. However, impairment charges are recognized in the Statement of Operations. If circumstances suggest that the value of the Investee Company has subsequently recovered, such recovery is not recorded. Impairment analysis on our investments which are accounted for on the cost method of accounting resulted in complete impairment at December 31, 2012.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from its internet television platform from internally generated products and from partnered merchants when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the selling price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. These criteria are met when the customers purchase a product or access a web-based video, the product or web-based video has been electronically delivered to the purchaser and payment has been received. At that time, the Company's obligations to the customer is substantially complete. The Company records the net amount it retains from the sale of items from its internet television platform after paying any agreed upon percentage of the purchase price to the featured advertising merchant excluding any applicable taxes. Revenue is recorded on a net basis because the Company is acting as an agent of the partnered merchant in the transaction. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

Network revenue consists of monthly network broadcast subscription revenue, which is recognized over the period in which the subscription service is available. 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 and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue from the distribution of domestic television series is recognized as earned using the following criteria:

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

The show/episode is complete, and in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery;

The license period has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition or sale;

The price to the customer is fixed and determinable; and

Collectability is reasonably assured.

Players Network

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Due to practical limitations applicable to operating relationships with On-Demand networks, the Company has not considered collectability of advertising or television license revenues to be reasonably assured, and accordingly, the Company has not recognize such revenue unless payment has been received.

Audio/Video content licensing revenues were recognized when the underlying royalties from the sales of the related products were earned. The Company recognized minimum revenue guarantees, if any, ratably over the term of the license or as earned royalties based on actual sales of the related products, if greater.

Deferred revenues consist of the following at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2013		2012
Deferred revenues on television pilot episodes	$	135,000	$	135,000
Deferred revenues on audio/video content licensing		–		–
Total deferred revenues	$	135,000	$	135,000

Derivative Liability

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. We analyzed the derivative financial instruments (the Convertible Note and tainted Warrant), in accordance with ASC 815. The objective is to provide guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This determination is needed for a scope exception which would enable a derivative instrument to be accounted for under the accrual method. The classification of a non-derivative instrument that falls within the scope of ASC 815-40-05 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” also hinges on whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entity’s own stock cannot be classified as equity and must be accounted for as a liability. There is a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed to an entity’s own stock. First, the instrument's contingent exercise provisions, if any, must be evaluated, followed by an evaluation of the instrument's settlement provisions. The Company utilized multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liability within the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The Company utilized the fair value standard set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, defined as the amount at which the assets (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

Deferred Television Costs

Deferred television costs as of June 30, 2013, included direct production and development costs stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value based on anticipated revenue. Production overhead is not included as the Company outsources its production costs to third party vendors. Capitalized television production costs for each pilot episode are to be expensed as revenues are recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the completed pilot episodes using the individual-film-forecast-computation method for each television show produced.

Deferred television costs consist of the following at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2013		2012
Development and pre-production costs	$	–	$	–
In-production		68,264		68,264
Post production		48,190		48,190
Total deferred television costs	$	116,454	$	116,454

Due to practical limitations applicable to monetizing our developed content over On-Demand networks, the Company has not considered collectability of advertising or television license revenues to be reasonably assured, and accordingly, the Company has expensed production costs related to the development of our On-Demand and internet-based content as incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11: Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The new guidance requires that unrecognized tax benefits be presented on a net basis with the deferred tax assets for such carryforwards. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:

Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and

Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.

The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

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 ($22,733,459), and as of June 30, 2013, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,397,836 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $1,312,353. 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.

Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

The Company has convertible notes that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the balance sheets as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Note 5 – Investments

On May 11, 2011 we acquired a 10% interest in ICI, and a 10% interest in ICB, Nevada entertainment companies that develop and operate a variety of entertainment shows in the United States, primarily in casinos within Las Vegas, NV and Atlantic City, NJ. We acquired the interests in exchange for $25,499 that was in turn spent on the development of a promotional video that will be distributed on our website. In addition, we agreed to pay a license fee of 20% of the adjusted gross revenues that we earn from the distribution and sales related to the promotional video content. No such revenues have been earned to date.

On November 1, 2012, the Company elected to convert a note receivable of $22,477, consisting of $20,000 of principal and $2,477 of interest receivable in exchange for an additional 7.5% ownership interest in ICI, and 7.5% interest in ICB. The conversion resulted in a total ownership of 17.5% in both entities as of November 1, 2012. Both the investments and the note receivable had been written off as impaired on December 31, 2011 due to valuation and collectability uncertainties, as a result the 17.5% investment in both entities are not on the balance sheets as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities

As discussed in Note 8 under Convertible Debentures, the Company issued convertible notes payable that provide for the issuance of convertible notes with variable conversion provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory note is indeterminate. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock issuable could exceed the Company’s authorized share limit, the equity environment is tainted and all additional convertible debentures and warrants are included in the value of the derivative. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion option and warrants and shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date.

The fair values of the Company’s derivative liabilities were estimated at the issuance date and are revalued at each subsequent reporting date, using a lattice model. The Company recorded current derivative liabilities of $448,099 and $356,608 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities resulted in a loss of $191,817 and $194,940 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which has been reported as other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The loss of $191,817 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of a loss of $87,115 due to the value in excess of the face value of the convertible notes, a gain of ($3,376) attributable to the fair value of preferred stock, a gain of ($18,039) attributable to the fair value of warrants and a net loss in market value of $126,117 on the convertible notes. The loss of $194,940 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 consisted of a loss of $31,118 due to the value in excess of the face value of the convertible notes, a loss of $62,065 attributable to the fair value of warrants, a loss of $91,594 attributable to the fair value of warrants and a net loss in market value of $10,163 on the convertible notes.

The following presents the derivative liability value by instrument type at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively:

	June 30,		December 31,

Note 13 – Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10, which requires use of the liability method. FASB ASC 740-10-25 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At June 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $14,530,000 of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2025.

The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset are as follows:

	June 30,			December 31,
	2013			2012
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry forwards	$	5,085,500		$	4,515,000

Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance		5,085,500			4,515,000
Less: Valuation allowance		(5,085,500	)		(4,515,000	)
Net deferred tax assets	$	–		$	–

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

A reconciliation between the amounts of income tax benefit determined by applying the applicable U.S. and State statutory income tax rate to pre-tax loss is as follows:

	June 30,			December 31,
	2013			2012

Federal and state statutory rate		35	%		35	%
Change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets		(35	%)		(35	%)

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no uncertain tax positions.

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

Overview and Outlook

Players Network is a media and entertainment company engaged in the development of Digital Networks. We distribute broadband video and other social media content over a wide variety of internet enabled devices and cable television channels. The Company has launched its proprietary scalable technology platform. The platform is designed to deliver video content and develop digital social communities, including “Vegas On Demand TV”, which is our first digital branded network that was in development during 2012. We are currently in the process of finalizing enhancements and plan to re-launch the platform during the third quarter of 2013.

The Company operates a Video On Demand (“VOD”) television channel, also named Vegas On Demand, which consists of original programming that is distributed over its own VOD channels to approximately 24,000,000 homes over the internet with distribution partners that include, Comcast, Hulu, Blinkx, Google, and YouTube Video, for DVD home video, and various mobile platforms. Players Network has a fourteen year history of providing consumers with quality ‘Gaming and Las Vegas Lifestyle’ video content.

Vegas On Demand TV offers its audience the ability to connect to Vegas Insiders through unique, high-quality programming that captures the excitement, sex appeal, entertainment, 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 that attract young and sophisticated viewers that comprise the major digital media demographic. Whenever possible our content incorporates an expert, insider or celebrity within the Vegas community in order to enhance promotional merchandising to prospective customers.

The Company plans to use both its platform and original branded programming and events as a means to develop additional revenue streams, as well as marketing and membership benefits of our social media platform. These revenue streams include branded entertainment, sponsorships for events, and media placement, third party commissions for video and banner advertisements, merchandise and production sales and services.

Players Network has addressed the digital market in an effort to grow as a New Media Company using “Vegas On Demand”, its flagship Branded Television Channel Destination, it use its scalable, custom Enterprise Web Platform to host “Vegas On Demand”, which can also be replicated to launch thousands of Channel Destinations in any Lifestyle Category, for any Lifestyle Brand.

PNTV’s Enterprise Platform efficiently deploys, manages and distributes videos with integrated revenue-generating tools that go beyond traditional advertising. On our Platform, the viewer of a video is brought into a web environment encompassing that video’s lifestyle, where they are presented with Membership, Merchandising, Couponing, Subscription, Loyalty Programs, Contest and other Marketing opportunities, including the integration of Live Events. The Platform also integrates Branded Sponsorships, and a game-like Virtual Economy supported by our Cost Per Action Advertising network.

PNTV’s next-generation Media Network operates across all distribution platforms from TV screens to mobile devices, gaming consoles, computers and tablets. We have positioned ourselves to provide companies with an affordable, turnkey, integrated solution that creates bookable revenue while generating net profits. We have not yet generated revenues from our Platform, but plan to market our services to companies in 2012 that can make their initial investment using a small portion of their existing marketing budget.

By providing companies and Lifestyle Brands with their own Channel Destination on our Enterprise Web Platform and offering our Media and Production expertise, we plan to provide an integrated Media, Marketing and Merchandising solution that aims to save our customers significant time and money that would need to be incurred to replicate equivalent services.

We have also leveraged our existing library of original content, and distribution network, to build this infrastructure hub and launch our initial digital Lifestyle Network: “VegasOnDemand.tv”.

Through the cross-promotional integration of Sponsored Live Events, Contests and Media creation and distribution, PNTV’s Platform can deliver a targeted audience that can be monetized in multiple ways. The Platform is a Revenue Engine that grows as audience and page views increase. The Platform also provides a self-perpetuating aggregation juncture where Las Vegas businesses and “Insiders” can connect socially with their audience/customer and generate shared revenues.

The ability to Monetize Video in so many ways, coupled with an efficient, easy-to-use technical and administrative back-end dashboard, is a powerful feature of PNTV’s Platform. It allows the creation of unlimited, new Channel Destinations using our scalable Content Management System (“CMS”) framework, with cost-competitive operations. Importantly, it allows Content Management by administrative and editorial level employees without the expense of having a full-time technical engineering staff in-house.

The Company’s platform has two main membership categories: 1) the Consumer/User who visits our digital communities and partakes in viewing ad-supported and pay-per-view premium videos, purchases products and connects with “Insiders”, who are our 2) Premium Members.

Premium Members must be industry Insiders and/or experts in their Lifestyle category. For example, with regard to Vegas On Demand, Insiders are designed to be the who’s-who of Vegas: Entertainers, Nightclub Promoters, Casino Hosts, famous Chefs, etc. who offer our Members deals on transactions connected to their sphere of influence. Deals may include being invited to a special VIP Event, Line Passes, two-for-one offers, PPV Video discounts, etc.

Transactions can be purchased using credit cards, or our incentivized Virtual Economy. When using our Virtual Economy, we set the value of the goods and services that are redeemed through a Points (Virtual Currency) System. Points can be bought or earned using our CPA Ad Network. Our Virtual Economy allows the Company to realize revenue every time Points are earned, as well as every time Points are redeemed.

On May 11, 2011, we acquired a 10% interest in iCandy, Inc. (“ICI”), and a 10% interest in iCandy Burlesque, Inc. (“ICB”), Nevada entertainment companies that develop and operate a variety of entertainment shows in the United States, primarily in casinos within Las Vegas, NV and Atlantic City, NJ. We agreed to pay a license fee of 20% of the adjusted gross revenues that we earn from the distribution and sales related to the promotional video content. No such revenues have been earned to date. On November 1, 2012, the Company elected to convert a note receivable of $22,477, consisting of $20,000 of principal and $2,477 of interest receivable in exchange for an additional 7.5% ownership interest in ICI, and 7.5% interest in ICB. The conversion resulted in a total ownership of 17.5% in both entities as of November 1, 2012. Both the investments and the note receivable had been written off as impaired at December 31, 2011 due to valuation and collectability uncertainties, as a result the 17.5% investment in both entities are not on the balance sheets as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

In December of 2011, the Company signed an agreement with J&H Productions to produce a series of three reality shows centered on a family that is in the Las Vegas nightlife and night club business. The agreement also provides for the production of forty short video segments to be used to develop a new branded Channel Destination using the Company’s scalable platform. Capitalized television production costs for each pilot episode are to be expensed as revenues are recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the completed pilot episodes using the individual-film-forecast-computation method for each television show produced. We plan to complete the final two pilot episodes during 2013.

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. Equity financings of the type we have had 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, 2013 and 2012, we received revenues primarily from licensing fees from our private networks, including the sale of in-home media and advertising fees, and production revenues, which included fees from third party programming production. Aggregate revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013 were $386 compared to revenues of $11,225 in the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease in revenues of $10,839, or 97%. Revenues from networks were down 100%, or $10,357 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2012, due to decreased revenues from the termination of a license agreement that previously enabled us to distribute our content to a Company in Greece. Production revenues also decreased by 56%, or $482 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2012, due to fewer visitors to our online distribution centers. Our revenues have been dramatically reduced as we have focused entirely on building and expanding our technology and revenues for the future, primarily through the development of a new internet based technology platform that was launched in October of 2011, and is in the process of being enhanced and redeployed in 2013.

Direct Operating Costs:

Direct operating costs were $41,194 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $28,555 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $12,639, or 44%. Our direct operating costs increased due to our increased website development costs as we focused our resources on the development of our internet based technology platform that was launched to expand our distribution through new media channels.

General and Administrative:

General and administrative expenses were $80,158 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $103,148 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $(22,990), or 22%. General and administrative expense decreased primarily due to decreased rent and administrative costs as incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Salaries and Wages:

Salaries and wages expense totaled $53,630 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $105,191 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $51,561, or 49%. The decrease in salaries and wages was primarily due to staffing reductions due to our diminished resources during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Bad Debts Expense:

Bad debts expense was $-0- for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $10,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $10,000. The decrease was due to changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Depreciation and Amortization:

Depreciation and amortization expense was $5,736 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $5,736 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Net Operating Loss:

Net operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $180,332, or ($0.00) per share compared to a net operating loss of $241,405 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, or ($0.00) per share, a decrease of $61,073, or 25%. Net operating loss decreased primarily due to a reduction in revenues and decreased general and administrative and salaries and wages expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, as our resources were insufficient to maintain our previous level of operations. We decreased production as we focused our resources on our newly created and revamped websites that will be used to expand our distribution through new media channels.

Other Income (Expense):

Other income (expense) was $(252,310) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $(192,274) for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $60,036, or 31%. Other expense increased on a net basis primarily due to the amortization of debt discounts related to our convertible debentures recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2013 that were not recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Net Loss:

The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $432,642, or ($0.00) per share, compared to a net loss of $433,679, or ($0.00) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decreased net loss of $1,037. Net loss decreased primarily as a result of our decreased revenues, salaries and general operating expenses, as offset by increased amortization of debt discounts related to convertible debts incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012.

Revenues:

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we received revenues primarily from licensing fees from our private networks, including the sale of in-home media and advertising fees, and production revenues, which included fees from third party programming production. Aggregate revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013 were $1,079 compared to revenues of $30,699 in the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease in revenues of $29,620, or 96%. Revenues from networks were down 100%, or $22,014 in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2012, due to decreased revenues from the termination of a license agreement that previously enabled us to distribute our content to a Company in Greece. Production revenues also decreased by 100%, or $6,413 in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2012, due to our inability to complete the last two episodes of a six episode pilot that was commissioned. We expect to complete post production and deliver the remaining two episodes in 2013 as funds become available. The completion of these pilots will enable us to recognize the remaining $135,000 of deferred revenue currently on our balance sheet. Our revenues have been dramatically reduced as we have focused entirely on building and expanding our technology and revenues for the future, primarily through the development of a new internet based technology platform that was launched in October of 2011, and is in the process of being enhanced and redeployed in 2013.

Direct Operating Costs:

Direct operating costs were $77,269 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $49,376 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $27,893, or 56%. Our direct operating costs increased due to our increased website development costs as we focused our resources on our internet based technology platform that was launched to expand our distribution through new media channels.

General and Administrative:

General and administrative expenses were $223,260 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $230,147 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $6,887, or 3%. General and administrative expense decreased primarily due to rent reductions and decreased administrative costs that were not incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Bad Debts Expense:

Bad debts expense was $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $9,760 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $9,760. The decrease was due to changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Salaries and Wages:

Salaries and wages expense totaled $137,540 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $210,593 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $73,053, or 35%. The decrease in salaries and wages was primarily due to staffing reductions during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Depreciation and Amortization:

Depreciation and amortization expense was $11,473 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $11,473 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Net Operating Loss:

Net operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $448,463, or ($0.00) per share compared to a net operating loss of $480,650 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, or ($0.00) per share, a decrease of $32,187, or 7%. Net operating loss decreased primarily due to decreased salaries and wages expenses, as offset by decreased revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, as our resources were insufficient to maintain our previous level of operations. We decreased production during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as we focused our resources on our newly created and revamped websites that will be used to expand our distribution through new media channels.

Other Income (Expense):

Other income (expense) was $(426,102) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $(176,293) for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $249,809, or 142%. Other expense, on a net basis, increased primarily due to the amortization of debt discounts related to our convertible debentures recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2013 that were not recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Net Loss:

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $874,565, or ($0.01) per share, compared to a net loss of $656,943, or ($0.01) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increased net loss of $217,622, or 33%. Net loss increased primarily as a result of our decreased revenues, and increased amortization of debt discounts related to convertible debts incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following table summarizes total assets, accumulated deficit, stockholders’ equity and working capital at June 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012.

	June 30,			December 31,			Increase /

Working Capital (Deficit)	$	(1,397,836	)	$	(1,261,865	)	$	135,971

Our principal source of operating capital has been provided from private sales of our common stock, revenues from operations, and debt and equity financings. At June 30, 2013, we had a negative working capital position of $1,397,836.

Debt Financing

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we received a total of $205,500 in exchange for a total of six convertible debentures. The convertible debentures mature on various dates through March 12, 2014 and are convertible into shares of common stock at various conversion rates ranging from fifty five percent (55%) of the average of the three (3) lowest trading bid prices to sixty five percent (70%) of the average of the three lowest reported daily sale or daily closing bid prices (whichever is the lower) of the Company’s common stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to the conversion date.

We have utilized these funds to repay $40,000 of previously issued convertible debentures, comply with our regulatory reporting requirements, and to expand our media distribution platforms and to continue production of original programming for our own distribution platforms, as well as our expanding distribution network. Although our revenues are expected to grow as we expand our operations, our revenues are not expected to exceed our investment and operating costs in the next twelve months, and we do not have funds sufficient to fund our operations at their current level for the next twelve months. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of operations. To address these risks, we must, among other things, seek growth opportunities through investment and acquisitions in our industry, effectively monitor and manage our claims for payments that are owed to us, implement and successfully execute our business strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We cannot assure that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

To conserve on the Company's capital requirements, the Company has issued shares in lieu of cash payments to outside consultants, and the Company expects to continue this practice. In the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company granted a total of 9,041,066 shares of common stock valued at $249,917 in lieu of cash payments to employees and outside consultants, compared to the issuance of 5,175,800 shares of common stock valued at $302,625 in lieu of cash payments to employees and outside consultants during the six months ending June 30, 2012. 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 2013.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we issued a total of 21,335,952 pursuant to the conversion of $172,678 of indebtedness on convertible debentures. The conversion prices of a total of $451,000 in convertible notes (principal only) sold between May 3, 2012 and June 30, 2013, of which $218,000 remains outstanding as of June 30, 2013, is convertible at various hypothetical prices discounted to market as depicted in the table below:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, whom are one in the same, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, 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.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls

Our Principal Executive Officer does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. 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 simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, other than those stated above, during our most recent 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 1A. Risk Factors

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
