Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Players Network (the “Company”) 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 (the “SEC”). 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 consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017 and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following entities, all of which are under common control and ownership:

⁽¹⁾ Players Network entity is in the form of a corporation.

⁽²⁾ Majority-owned subsidiary formed on July 8, 2014, in which PNTV retained 84% ownership, with the remaining 16% held by key experts and advisors. An additional 1.6% was sold to an investor on December 8, 2014 and 3% was transferred back from a founding member on December 2, 2015, giving PNTV 85.4% ownership and minority interests ownership of 14.6%. The form of the entity was changed from a corporation to a limited liability company on May 9, 2017 at which time the name was changed from Green Leaf Farms Holdings, Inc. to Green Leaf Farms Holdings, LLC (“GLFH”).

⁽³⁾ Players Michigan LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary formed to acquire substantially all of the assets and liabilities of LCG Business Enterprises, LLC (“LCG”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement that closed on May 24, 2018. The parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement agreed to rescind the transaction on December 31, 2018.

The consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the subsidiary listed above. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these financial statements. The parent company, PNTV and subsidiary, GLFH will be collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “Players Network” or “PNTV”. The Company’s headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada and substantially all of its customers are within the United States.

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.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Our cannabis products consist of prepackaged purchased goods ready for resale, and cannabis flower grown in-house under our cultivation license, along with produced edibles and extracts developed under our production license.

Construction in Progress

The Company is constructing a grow house in its leased facility, which became operational during the second quarter of 2017 upon completion of the first phase of improvements, at which time depreciation commenced. On May 31, 2017, the Company placed in service $373,842 of leasehold improvements incurred during the first phase of construction. Phase 2 commenced in July and will be capitalized on the balance sheet under Construction in Progress. The total estimated cost to complete construction of the facility is approximately $1.7 million, and an additional $595,641 of construction costs have been capitalized as of September 30, 2018.

Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, or the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.

Revenue is primarily generated through our subsidiary, Green Leaf Holdings, LLC. Green Leaf recognizes revenue from the sale of the following cannabis products and services to licensed dispensaries within the state of Nevada:

	●	Premium organic medical cannabis sold wholesale to licensed retailers
	●	Recreational marijuana cannabis products sold wholesale to distributors and retailers
	●	Extraction products such as oils and waxes derived from in-house cannabis production
	●	Processing and extraction services for licensed medical cannabis cultivators in Nevada
	●	High quality cannabis strains in the form of vegetative cuttings for sale to licensed medical cannabis cultivators in Nevada

Revenue from the sale of our cannabis products is recognized by our subsidiary at the point of sale, at which time payment is received. Management estimates an allowance for sales returns.

The Company also intends to recognize 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.

Deferred Rent Obligation

The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for its corporate office and GLFH’s warehouse which contains provisions for future rent increases. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company records monthly rent expense equal to the total of the payments due over the lease term, divided by the number of months of the lease terms. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is credited or charged to “Deferred rent obligation,” which is reflected as a separate line item in the accompanying Balance Sheets.

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 . The amendment provides guidance on accounting for the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) and allows entities to complete the accounting under ASC 740 within a one-year measurement period from the Tax Act enactment date. This standard is effective upon issuance. The Tax Act has several significant changes that impact all taxpayers, including a transition tax, which is a one-time tax charge on accumulated, undistributed foreign earnings. The calculation of accumulated foreign earnings requires an analysis of each foreign entity’s financial results going back to 1986. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . The guidance permits entities to reclassify tax effects stranded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as a result of tax reform to retained earnings. This new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in annual and interim periods and can be applied retrospectively or in the period of adoption. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09 , Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09, which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. Per ASU 2017-9, an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (1) the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification, (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified, and (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under the amendments in ASU 2017-9. ASU 2017-9 is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The adoption of ASU 2017-9 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.

No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, have had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 2 – Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $50,241,952, and as of September 30, 2018, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $13,175,570. 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 3 – Asset Purchase Acquisition

Asset Purchase Acquisition – LCG Business Enterprises, LLC, May 24, 2018

On May 24, 2018, through the Company’s newly-formed wholly-owned Michigan subsidiary, Players Michigan LLC (“Players Michigan”), purchased all of the assets of LCG Business Enterprises, LLC, a California limited liability company (“LCG”), including all of LCG’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and inventory, in consideration for an aggregate of $5,000,000, of which $1,000,000 was paid in cash at the closing and $4,000,000 was financed through short-term seller financed debt of $4,000,000 to be paid in monthly increments of $1,000,000 over the subsequent four-month period.

LCG operated a California licensed commercial cannabis agricultural facility consisting of a 56,000 square foot commercial cannabis agricultural facility at 25600 Encinal Road, Salinas, California. With LCG’s operations, we expected to realize the benefits of increased efficiency, accountability, and productivity. As disclosed in Note 4, below, due to unanticipated operational and reporting issues discovered following the closing, Players Michigan and LCG rescinded the transaction on December 31, 2018.

In connection with the acquisition, LCG and the Company (through Players Michigan) entered into a Management Agreement, pursuant to which the shareholder of LCG agreed to provide management services to the Company following closing. Pursuant to the agreement, the seller was to be paid a percentage of net profits until the remaining purchase price was paid in full, as follows:

Percentage of		Payment
Net Profit		Period
30%		Between Closing and payment in full of Installment 2 ⁽¹⁾
25%		Between the payment in full of Installment 2 and payment in full of Installment 3
20%		Between the payment in full of Installment 3 and payment in full of Installment 4
15%		Between the payment in full of Installment 4 and payment in full of Installment 5
0%		From and the payment in full of Installment 5 or, if earlier, the prepayment in full of the reaming unpaid portion of the Purchase Price

⁽¹⁾

Installment number 2 was never paid, and the liability for these fees was terminated with the rescission agreement.

This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting, given that substantially all of the Company’s assets and ongoing operations were acquired. The purchase resulted in $1,250,314 of goodwill that was expensed as an impairment due to the discontinued operations. According to the purchase method of accounting, the Company recognized the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

	May 24, 2018
Consideration:
Cash paid at closing	$	1,000,000
Seller financed short-term debt ⁽¹⁾		4,000,000
Fair value of total consideration exchanged	$	5,000,000

Fair value of identifiable assets acquired assumed:
Cash	$	135,982
Inventory		3,516,000
Equipment and fixtures		97,704
Total fair value of assets assumed		3,749,686
Consideration paid in excess of fair value (Goodwill) ⁽²⁾	$	1,250,314

	⁽¹⁾ Consideration was financed through short-term seller financed debt of $4,000,000 to be paid in monthly increments of $1,000,000 over the subsequent four-month period, which was not paid and cancelled pursuant to a rescission agreement on December 31, 2018.

	⁽²⁾ The consideration paid in excess of the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recognized as goodwill and impaired as a result of the subsequent rescission and discontinuance of operations.

Supplemental pro forma results of operations of the combined entities could not be obtained due to the lack of financial record keeping.

Note 4 – Discontinued Operations

On December 31, 2018, the Company agreed to a Release Agreement and Agreement to Rescind and Extinguish Asset Purchase Agreement and Side Letter Agreement (“Rescission Agreement”) with respect to the transactions under the Asset Purchase Agreement that had closed on May 24, 2018 disclosed in note 3 above. The Company decided to rescind the transaction primarily due to operational and reporting issues it discovered following the closing, and decided to discontinue its operations in that location. Subsequently, all of the assets, liabilities and operations of Players Michigan purchased from LCG were returned to LCG on December 31, 2018. Pursuant to the rescission agreement, LCG paid PNTV $250,000, and agreed to pay another $350,000 upon the subsequent transaction to any third party. In addition, LCG agreed to pay PNTV an additional 25% of the gross proceeds, less deductions for applicable sales and/or any fair market investment banking commissions paid by LCG, of any sale in excess of $5,000,000, up to a maximum value of $500,000. If LCG fails to close on a subsequent transaction and pay the applicable fees by April 1, 2019, LCG shall pay PNTV a guaranteed payment of $50,000 per month until the total amount of $350,000 has been paid. A tax benefit was not recorded on this loss due to limitations on current tax recognition. The results of operations from the Salinas business unit have been retrospectively presented as losses from discontinued operations as presented below for the period from acquisition (May 24, 2018) through September 30, 2018:

Note 6 – 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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively:

Note 14 – Derivative Liabilities

As discussed in Note 12 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 recognized current derivative liabilities of $6,976,373 and $9,530,296 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities resulted in a gain of $3,252,688 and a loss of $528,633 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which has been reported as other expense in the statements of operations. The gain of $3,252,688 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 consisted of a gain of $101,426 attributable to the value in excess of discounts on new warrants, a gain of $3,736,016 attributable to the fair value of warrants, a loss of $625,240 on excess derivative value and a net gain in market value of $40,486 on the convertible notes. The loss of $528,633 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 consisted of a loss of $475,016 attributable to the fair value of warrants and a net loss in market value of $53,617 on the convertible notes.

The following presents the derivative liability value by instrument type at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively:

	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Convertible debentures	$	2,368,170	$	1,033,644

Note 17 – 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, 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 September 30, 2018, the Company had approximately $23,177,000 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:

	September 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry forwards	$	4,867,191		$	9,328,900

Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance		4,867,191			9,328,900
Less: Valuation allowance		(4,867,191	)		(9,328,900	)
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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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:

	September 30, 2018			December 31, 2017

Federal and state statutory rate		21	%		35	%
Change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets		(21	)%		(35	)%

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

Proposed Jujuy, Argentina Joint Venture

In October 2018, Green Leaf and the Province of Jujuy, Argentina (the “Province”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding that contemplates the formation of an entity jointly owned by the Province and Green Leaf that will cultivate, manufacture and distribute cannabis and cannabis products on land provided to the joint venture by the Province. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding, among other things, Green Leaf will be responsible for providing the necessary funding for the development of the project and the hiring and training of local personnel for the project, and the Province will provide all of the necessary permits as well as the use of land in Jujuy, Argentina at no cost to the joint venture for a 99-year period.

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

Overview and Outlook

Players Network is actively pursuing the cultivation and processing of medical and recreational marijuana in North Las Vegas pursuant to two medical marijuana establishments (MME) licenses that were granted by the city of North Las Vegas for cultivation and production to its majority-owned subsidiary, Green Leaf Farms Holdings LLC, in which the Company holds an 85.4% interest. We also distribute content relating to the cannabis industry at WeedTV.com.

Green Leaf Cannabis Business

Green Leaf was granted two Medical Marijuana Establishment (MME) licenses by the City of North Las Vegas and State of Nevada; one for cultivation, and one for production of extracts, along with cultivation and production licenses for recreational cannabis that went into effect on July 1, 2017.

The cannabis industry is one of the fastest growing markets in the America, and Nevada is uniquely positioned to become one of, if not the largest market in the country. The sale of cannabis in Nevada for medical purposes has been legal since 2015, and on July 1, 2017, the recreational use of cannabis became legal in the State of Nevada.

It is estimated that there are 43,000 Nevada State issued medical marijuana cardholders. Nevada also offers reciprocity to Out-of-State medical cannabis cardholders. With nearly one million medical marijuana cardholders residing in states adjacent to Nevada, and more than 52 million annual visitors to Nevada, the market for medical marijuana is substantial, and with the recent passage of recreational marijuana laws that were implemented in the summer of 2017, Nevada is expected to generate $1.8 billion in revenue from cannabis in 2018. As large as the medical marijuana market is, it is dwarfed by Nevada’s adult recreational marijuana market.

Green Leaf offers the following products and services:

	●	Premium organic medical cannabis sold wholesale to licensed retailers
	●	Recreational marijuana cannabis products sold wholesale to distributors and retailers
	●	Extraction products such as oils and waxes derived from in-house cannabis production
	●	Processing and extraction services for licensed medical cannabis cultivators in Nevada
	●	High quality cannabis strains in the form of vegetative cuttings for sale to licensed medical cannabis cultivators in Nevada

Media Content Distribution; Weed TV

Historically, we have distributed video and other media content over cable television channels and a wide variety of internet enabled devices, focusing primarily on the gaming industry and Las Vegas lifestyle. Our current media operations are focused on our recently launched Web site, WeedTV.com, and its related social media presence.

Weed TV is a source of informational entertainment, products and services for people who relate to the marijuana lifestyle and social community. Weed TV content is currently available at www.weedtv.com. We plan to continuously add features and content to Weed TV, including a directory of businesses that cater to the marijuana business, such as dispensaries, smoke shops, doctors, financial institutions, manufacturers and more.

Future Outlook

Green Leaf plans to focus on developing high quality products and to employ a strong branding strategy to sell its custom cannabis strains. The quality and consistency of our branded products would help build consumer loyalty. The growing facility, with modular construction would allow us to scale efficiency from both a cost and operational standpoint.

Revenues:

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we received revenues from the sale of cannabis products, in-home media, advertising fees and the recognition of deferred revenues on content development. Our sales primarily consisted of the resale of raw materials that we previously purchased from other licensed production and cultivation facilities and resold to licensed dispensaries as we progressed in the development of our facility. Aggregate revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $8,314, compared to revenues of $38,074 during the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease in revenues of $29,760, or 78%.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $11,409, compared to $32,806 during the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $21,397, or 65%. Cost of sales consists primarily of labor, depreciation and maintenance on cultivation and production equipment, in addition to raw materials sold and consumed in our cultivation and production operations. The decreased cost of sales in the current period was due to the allocation of resources towards Salinas operations in the current year.

Direct Operating Costs:

Direct operating costs were $138,492 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $334,545 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $196,053, or 59%. Our direct operating costs decreased primarily due to reduced work on WeedTV and our North Las Vegas cannabis cultivation operations during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

General and Administrative:

General and administrative expenses were $1,275,047 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $2,559,617 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $1,284,570, or 50%. General and administrative expense decreased primarily due to decreased insurance and administrative costs during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Officer Salaries:

Officer salaries expense totaled $43,750 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $34,350, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $9,400, or 27%.

Depreciation and Amortization:

Depreciation and amortization expense was $32,016 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $28,542 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $3,474, or 12%. Depreciation increased primarily due to placing our leasehold improvements and other equipment purchases into service for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Operating Loss:

Operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $1,492,400 or ($0.00) per share, compared to an operating loss of $2,951,786 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, or ($0.01) per share, a decrease of $1,459,386, or 49%. Operating loss decreased primarily due to decreased operating costs and administrative and insurance costs as we shifted our allocation of resources toward the Salinas operations during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Other Income (Expense):

Other expense, on a net basis, was $2,559,788 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to other income of $1,014,066 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $3,573,854, or 352%. Other income decreased, on a net basis, primarily due to the change in derivative value, resulting in a loss of $1,859,460 for the current period, compared to a gain of $1,339,199 in the comparative period, and by increased interest expense on debt financing of $375,200 during the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Net Loss from Continuing Operations:

The net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $4,052,188, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $1,937,720, or $0.00 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $2,114,468, or 109%.

Aggregate revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $220,278, compared to revenues of $41,144 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase in revenues of $179,134, or 435%.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $239,458, compared to $35,014 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $204,444, or 584%. Cost of sales consists primarily of labor, depreciation and maintenance on cultivation and production equipment, in addition to raw materials sold and consumed in our cultivation and production operations. The increased cost of sales in the current period was due to the commencement of operations in the current year.

Direct Operating Costs:

Direct operating costs were $381,899 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $427,596 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $45,697, or 11%. Our direct operating costs decreased primarily due to decreased focus on WeedTV and our cannabis cultivation operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

General and Administrative:

General and administrative expenses were $2,454,226 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $3,712,483 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $1,258,257 or 34%. General and administrative expense decreased primarily due to decreased insurance and administrative costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Officer Salaries:

Officer salaries expense totaled $185,017 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $156,450, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $28,567, or 18%. Our officer salaries increased due to the employment of a Chief Financial Officer during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 that was not present in the comparative period, which was offset by stock-based compensation bonuses paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 that was not paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Depreciation and Amortization:

Depreciation and amortization expense was $94,381 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $42,850 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $51,531, or 120%. Depreciation increased primarily due to placing our leasehold improvements and other equipment purchases into service for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Operating Loss:

Operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $3,134,703 or ($0.01) per share, compared to an operating loss of $4,333,249 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, or ($0.01) per share, a decrease of $1,198,546 or 28%. Operating loss decreased primarily due to decreased operating costs as we shifted our resources toward the Salinas operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the resources we allocated toward the North Las Vegas operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Other Income (Expense):

Other expense, on a net basis, was $159,324 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to other expenses of $1,273,681 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $1,114,357, or 87%. Other expense decreased, on a net basis, primarily due to the increased change in derivative liabilities of $3,781,321, or 715%, as offset by losses on debt extinguishment of $362,017, goodwill impairment of $1,250,314 and an increased interest expense on debt financing of $1,054,725 or 142% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Net Loss from Continuing Operations:

The net loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $3,294,027, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $5,606,930, or ($0.01) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $2,312,903, or 41%. Net loss decreased primarily due to an increased change in our derivative liabilities, as offset by increased losses on debt extinguishment, interest expense and goodwill impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Common Stock Sales

We have utilized these funds for our current and planned operations, and to comply with our regulatory reporting requirements. 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 directors, employees and outside consultants, and the Company expects to continue this practice. In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred a total of $780,435 in stock-based compensation, consisting of the issuance of 19,100,000 shares valued at $780,435, including 300,000 shares valued at $11,940 owed to our former CFO, and 8,200,000 shares valued at $326,360. In comparison, we incurred a total of $2,579,924 stock-based compensation, consisting of 7,400,000 shares of common stock valued at $178,300, and options valued at $1,252,411, as bonuses to our officers and directors, as well as an aggregate 14,290,435 shares of common stock valued at $823,779, and options valued at $325,434, to other service providers. 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 2018 and 2019.

As of January 30, 2019, we had ten convertible notes outstanding with a cumulative outstanding principal balance of $1,816,078. Repayment of the notes must be done at a premium to the then-outstanding balance, resulting in the need for approximately $2,000,000 in liquid capital. If, rather than repay these notes, we allow them to convert into our common stock, such conversions would be effected at a discount to the market price of our common stock, and such shares of common stock could be sold into the open market immediately following such conversion. The potential dilutive effects of these conversions at various conversion prices below our most recent market price of $0.045 per share is as follows:

		100%		75%		50%		25%
Potential conversion prices	$	0.045	$	0.0338	$	0.0225	$	0.0113

Potential dilutive shares		40,357,278		53,809,704		80,714,556		161,429,111

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has had recurring net losses, an accumulated deficit, and a working capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to try to increase sales and improve operating results through the expansion of the distribution channels of our programming with a view to increasing advertising and sponsorship revenues. Management believes that funds generated from operations will not be sufficient to cover cash needs in the foreseeable future, and we will continue to rely on expected increased revenues and private equity to cover our cash needs, although there can be no assurance in this regard. In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing or would conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives, becoming profitable or continuing our business without either a temporary interruption or a permanent cessation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the following policies below as critical to our business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following entities, all of which are under common control and ownership:

	State of		Abbreviated
Name of Entity	Incorporation	Relationship	Reference

Players Network ⁽¹⁾	Nevada	Parent	PNTV
Green Leaf Farms Holdings, LLC ⁽²⁾	Nevada	Subsidiary	GLFH
Players Michigan LLC ⁽³⁾	Michigan	Subsidiary	SALINAS

⁽¹⁾ Players Network entity is in the form of a corporation.

⁽³⁾ Players Michigan LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary formed to acquire substantially all of the assets and liabilities of LCG Business Enterprises, LLC (“LCG”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement that closed on May 24, 2018, which was subsequently sold back to LCG on December 31, 2018. The parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement agreed to rescind the transaction on December 31, 2018.

Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, or the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.

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.

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.

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.

Revenue from the sale of our cannabis products is recognized by our subsidiary at the point of sale, at which time payment is received. Management estimates an allowance for sales returns.

Derivative Liability

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 as of September 30, 2018, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who are one and 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 and principal financial 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 and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting 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

In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to lawsuits and other claims and proceedings that arise from litigation matters or regulatory audits, including with respect to convertible securities we issue from time to time to fund our operations. Such matters are subject to uncertainty and outcomes are often not predictable with assurance. Our management does not presently expect that such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Michael Pratter

The legal action commenced on November 3, 2016 by Michael S. Pratter in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County, Nevada, against Players Network, Green Leaf Farms Holdings, and our Chief Executive Officer in which a substantial counterclaim was filed against Mr. Pratter was settled on May 22, 2018 to the satisfaction of the parties; the terms of which are confidential.

LG Capital Funding

We are a defendant in case pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings County, that was commenced by LG Capital Funding LLC, in February 2015, in which LG Capital asserts that we are in default of our obligations to honor its conversion rights under a $35,000 promissory note, due to a typographical error in the note. LG Capital seeks declaratory relief as to conversion formula under the promissory note and monetary damages in the amount of principal and accrued interest under the promissory note. This case is currently in the discovery stages. We believe LG Funding’s claims are without merit.

Black Mountain and Gemini

We are a defendant in a case pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, that was commenced by Black Mountain Equities, Inc. and Gemini Special Opportunities Fund, LP (“Plaintiffs”) in July 2018, in which Black Mountain and Gemini are seeking a declaratory judgment as to the correct exercise price under warrants held by them. Plaintiffs have obtained a default judgment against us, which we have requested be set aside. The parties are waiting for the Court to enter a decision on the matter.

Marc A. Manus

We are a defendant in a case pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland that was commenced by Marc A. Manus in January 2019, in which Mr. Manus seeks monetary damages and declaratory and injunctive relief due to our failure to timely file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe the complaint is without merit. This case is currently in its preliminary stages.

Katheryn Peterson

We are the plaintiff and counter defendant in a case pending in the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, that was commenced by us and Green Leaf on December 7, 2015 against Katherine Petersen, Petersen Family Trust and Randy Donald, in which we assert, among other things, that the defendants breached a contract with us by failing to fund an agreed upon investment. Defendant Petersen filed an answer and counterclaim asserting, among other things, that we misrepresented certain facts to induce her into investing in the Company and that we breached contractual and fiduciary duties to her, and requests declaratory relief as to ownership interest in Green Leaf. The case is currently in the discovery stages. We believe we will succeed on the merits of our case and that Defendant Petersen’s counterclaims are without merit.
