PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED March 1 , 2018

 

PLAYERS NETWORK

 

93,522,930 Shares of Common Stock

 

 

 

This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 93,522,930 shares of common stock of Players Network, a Nevada corporation, of which up to 75,400,000 shares may be resold by Kodiak Capital Group, LLC, or Kodiak, including 37,500,000 shares of common stock which are issuable pursuant to an equity financing facility established by the terms of the Purchase Agreement described in this prospectus. In addition, we are registering 400,000 shares of common stock issued to Kodiak in consideration of entering into the Purchase Agreement with us, 37,500,000 shares of common stock that Kodiak may acquire upon exercise of a warrant we issued to Kodiak under the Purchase Agreement, and 18,122,930 shares of common stock that may be acquired by other stockholders of ours upon exercise of warrants and conversion of notes . We may draw on the equity financing facility from time to time, as and when we determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, by delivering “put notices” to Kodiak.

 

We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock by any selling stockholder. We will, however, receive proceeds from the sale of common stock directly to Kodiak pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. When we put shares of our common stock to Kodiak, the per-share purchase price that Kodiak will pay to us in respect of the put will be equal to 80% of lowest closing bid price for the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB, as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P., during the three trading days immediately following the applicable put notice. Closings from time to time under the Purchase Agreement will only occur if the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the applicable valuation period is greater than or equal to $0.14 per share, unless otherwise agreed to by us and Kodiak.

 

Kodiak is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Kodiak may sell the shares of common stock described in this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. See “Plan of Distribution” for more information about how the selling stockholders may sell the shares of common stock being registered pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Our common stock is listed on OTCQB under the symbol “PNTV”. On February 27 , 2018, our common stock closed at $0.073 per share.

 

These are speculative securities. Investing in these securities involves significant risks. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. You should carefully consider the risk factors beginning on page 4 of this prospectus before purchasing any of the shares offered by this prospectus.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights certain information described in greater detail elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Company Overview

 

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.

 

Our principal office is located at 1771 E. Flamingo Road, #201-A, Las Vegas, NV 89119. Our telephone number is (702) 840-3270.

 

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 projected that by the end of 2017 there will be 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.

Kodiak Purchase Agreement

 

This prospectus relates in part to the resale of up to 37,500,000 shares of our common stock that Kodiak has committed to purchase from us following our delivery to Kodiak of “Put Notices” from time to time under the terms of an Equity Purchase Agreement we entered into on August 14, 2017, as amended on January 5, 2018.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, subject to the effectiveness of the registration statement that includes this prospectus and our compliance with other terms set forth therein, Kodiak has committed to purchase up to 37,500,000 shares of common stock upon our delivery of Put Notices at a price equal to the greater of (i) $0.14 per share and (ii) 80% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the three trading days following the delivery of the applicable Put Notice (the “VWAP Price”), but in no event at a price greater than $0.50 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Kodiak will not be required to purchase common stock under a Put Notice if the VWAP P rice during the applicable valuation period is less than $0.14 per share. Kodiak’s commitment to purchase common stock under the Purchase Agreement will terminate on March 31, 2019. The Purchase Agreement also provides that Kodiak is not required to purchase common stock to the extent that following such purchase, Kodiak would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock.

 

This prospectus also relates to the resale by Kodiak of 400,000 shares of common stock we issued to Kodiak upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement in consideration of its commitment to purchase shares of common stock thereunder.

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we also issued Kodak a warrant to purchase an additional 37,500,000 shares of our common stock, which is exercisable for a three-year period and has an initial exercise price that will be equal to 140% of the initial purchase price paid by Kodiak under the Purchase Agreement. The warrant restricts Kodiak from exercising the Warrant to the extent that following such exercise, Kodiak would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock. The resale of the shares we may issue to Kodiak under the warrant is also covered by this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this prospectus. Each of the risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a complete loss of your investment. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks mentioned above.

 

Risks Relating to our Company

 

We have had a history of losses, we expect losses in the future, and there can be no assurance that we will become profitable in the future.

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 16, 1993. Since inception, we have experienced operating losses on an on-going basis. For our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and our nine-months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred net losses of $1,701,810 and $5,512,018, respectively. As of such dates, we had accumulated deficits of $30,639,417 and $36,151,435, respectively. We expect our losses to continue for the foreseeable future. These continuing losses may be greater than current levels. If our revenues do not increase substantially or if our expenses exceed our expectations, we may never become profitable. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

 

Our auditor has given us a “going concern” qualification, which questions our ability to continue as a going concern without additional financing.

 

Our independent certified public accountant has added an emphasis paragraph to its report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Key to this determination is our recurring net losses, an accumulated deficit, and a working capital deficiency. 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.

 

We need additional capital in the future to finance our planned growth, which we may not be able to raise or it may only be available on terms unfavorable to us or our stockholders, which may result in our inability to fund our working capital requirements and harm our operational results.

 

We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs. We do not now have funds sufficient to fund our operations at their current level for the next 12 months. We need to raise additional cash to fund our operations and implement our business plan. We are maintaining an on-going effort to locate sources of additional funding, without which we will not be able to remain a viable entity. If we are able to obtain the financing required to remain in business, eventually achieving operating profits will require substantially increasing revenues or drastically reducing expenses from their current levels or both. If we are able to obtain the required financing to remain in business, future operating results depend upon a number of factors that are outside of our control. The expected operating losses, coupled with a lack of liquidity, raise a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders.

 

At this stage of our business operations, investors may lose their entire investment.

 

Because of the factors described above, and given the nature of our business and our changing business focus, we may not be able to execute our business plan and may be forced to cease operations, which could result in the loss by investors of their entire investment in our common stock.

 

  4  
 

 

If we are unable to retain the services of Messrs. Bradley or Berk, or if we are unable to successfully recruit qualified managerial and sales personnel having experience in business, we may not be able to continue our operations.

 

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of Mark Bradley, our Chief Executive Officer and Michael Berk, our President of Programming. Loss of the services of Messrs. Bradley or Berk could have a material adverse effect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. In order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon (among other things) successfully recruiting qualified managerial and sales personnel having experience in business. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain existing employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms.

 

Our current management resources may not be sufficient for the future, and we have no assurance that we can attract additional qualified personnel.

 

There can be no assurance that the current level of management is sufficient to perform all responsibilities necessary or beneficial for management to perform. Our success in attracting additional qualified personnel will depend on many factors, including our ability to provide them with competitive compensation arrangements, equity participation and other benefits. There is no assurance that (if we need to) we will be successful in attracting highly qualified individuals in key management positions.

 

Limitations on claims against our officers and directors, and our obligation to indemnify them, could prevent our recovery for losses caused by them.

 

The corporation law of Nevada allows a Nevada corporation to limit the liability of its directors to the corporation and its stockholders to a certain extent, and our Articles of Incorporation have eliminated our directors’ and officers’ personal liability for damages for breaches of fiduciary duty but do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director officer for (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law, or (b) the payment of dividends in violation of applicable law. The corporation law of Nevada allows a Nevada corporation to indemnify each director, officer, agent and/or employee to the extent that certain standards are met. Further, we may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such persons whether or not we have the power to indemnify such person against the liability insured against. Consequently, because of the actions or omissions of officers, directors, agents and employees, we could incur substantial losses and be prevented from recovering such losses from such persons. Further, the Commission maintains that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against the public policy expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.

 

Mark Bradley, our Chief Executive Officer controls a majority of our outstanding voting shares, which prevents other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions.

 

Mark Bradley, our founder CEO, is able to exercise voting rights with respect to approximately 56.7% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, and therefore has the ability to control the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentrated control could delay, defer, or prevent a change of control, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets that our other stockholders support, or conversely, could result in the consummation of such a transaction that our other stockholders do not support. This concentrated control could also discourage a potential investor from acquiring our common stock due to the limited voting power of such stock relative to the Series A and Series C preferred stock held by Mr. Bradley.

 

We may experience rapid growth, and in such case we will need to manage this growth effectively.

 

We believe that, given the right business opportunities, we may expand our operations rapidly and significantly. If rapid growth were to occur, it could place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. To manage any significant growth of our operations, we will be required to undertake the following successfully:

 

  Manage relationships with various strategic partners and other third parties;
  Hire and retain skilled personnel necessary to support our business;
  Train and manage a growing employee base; and
  Continually develop our financial and information management systems.

 

If we fail to make adequate allowances for the costs and risks associated with this expansion or if our systems, procedures or controls are not adequate to support our operations, our business could be harmed. Our inability to manage growth effectively could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related To Our Cannabis Business

 

Cannabis remains illegal under federal law and a change in federal enforcement practices could significantly and negatively affect our cannabis cultivation and production business.

 

State laws legalizing medicinal and adult cannabis use are in conflict with the Federal Controlled Substances Act, which classifies cannabis as a Schedule-I controlled substance and makes cannabis use and possession illegal on a national level. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the Federal government has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes, and thus Federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use. While the prior Obama Administration has effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct Federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical and recreational cannabis, on January 4, 2018, the United States Attorney General announced the rescission of the Obama Administration’s policy, which negatively impacted our stock price. The Federal government’s enforcement of Federal laws could cause significant financial damage to us and our stockholders.

 

Our business is dependent on state laws pertaining to the cannabis industry.

 

Twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia allow its citizens to use medical cannabis. Additionally, Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis for adult recreational use, and additional recreational measures are expected to be pursued by other states in the future. Continued development of the cannabis industry is dependent upon continued legislative authorization of cannabis at the state level. Any number of factors could slow or halt progress in this area. Further, progress in the cannabis industry, while encouraging, is not assured. While there may be ample public support for legislative action, numerous factors impact the legislative process. Any one of these factors could slow or halt use of cannabis, which would negatively impact our business.

 

Laws and regulations affecting the cannabis and marijuana industries are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our business, and we cannot predict the impact that future regulations may have on us.

 

Local, state and federal cannabis laws and regulations are constantly changing and they are subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or to alter one or more of our service offerings. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability, and financial condition. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business. Any change in law or interpretation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Expansion by well-established cultivation and production companies into the cannabis industry could prevent us from realizing anticipated growth in customers and revenues.

 

Established dispensary companies may expand their businesses into cannabis cultivation and production. If they decided to expand into cultivation and production, this could hurt the growth of our business and cause our revenues to be lower than we expect.

 

Due to our involvement in the cannabis industry, we may have a difficult time obtaining the various insurances that are desired to operate our business, which may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities.

 

Insurance that is otherwise readily available, such as workers compensation, general liability, and directors and officers insurance, is more difficult for us to find, and more expensive, because we are service providers to companies in the cannabis industry. There are no guarantees that we will be able to find such insurances in the future, or that the cost will be affordable to us. If we are forced to go without such insurances, it may prevent us from entering into certain business sectors, may inhibit our growth, and may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities.

 

Participants in the cannabis industry have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult for us to operate.

 

Despite recent rules issued by the United States Department of the Treasury mitigating the risk to banks that do business with cannabis companies permitted under state law, as well as recent guidance from the United States Department of Justice, banks remain wary to accept funds from businesses in the cannabis industry. Since the use of cannabis remains illegal under Federal law, there remains a compelling argument that banks may be in violation of Federal law when accepting for deposit, funds derived from the sale or distribution of cannabis. Consequently, businesses involved in the cannabis industry continue to have trouble establishing banking relationships. An inability to open bank accounts may make it difficult for us, or some of our customers, to do business.

Risks Related To Our Media Business

 

We face intense competition in our Weed TV and media business.

 

We operate in a highly competitive industry, and we may not be able to generate or maintain advertising and sales revenues, if any, from our media content. Our media and advertising businesses compete for audiences and advertising revenues with other media businesses, as well as with other media, such as newspapers, magazines, television, direct mail, mobile devices, satellite radio, Internet-based services and live entertainment. Our competitors may develop technology, services or advertising media that are equal or superior to those we provide or that achieve greater market acceptance and brand recognition than we achieve. It also is possible that new competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share in any of our business segments. An increased level of competition for advertising dollars may lead to lower advertising rates as we attempt to retain customers or may cause us to lose customers to our competitors who offer lower rates that we are unable or unwilling to match.

 

If our security measures are breached, we may face liability and public perception of our services could be diminished, which would negatively impact our ability to attract listeners, business partners and advertisers.

 

Although we have security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of our websites, digital assets and proprietary business information as well as consumer information, no security measures are perfect and impenetrable and we may be unable to anticipate or prevent unauthorized access. A security breach could occur due to the actions of outside parties, employee error, malfeasance or a combination of these or other actions. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, we could lose competitively sensitive business information or suffer disruptions to our business operations. In addition, the public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures or services could be harmed, we could lose consumers, business partners and advertisers and we could suffer financial exposure in connection with remediation efforts, investigations and legal proceedings and changes in our security and system protection measures.

 

Additional restrictions on advertising of cannabis and other products may further restrict the categories of clients that can advertise on Weed TV.

 

Out-of-court settlements between the major U.S. tobacco companies and all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories include a ban on the outdoor advertising of tobacco products. Other products and services may be targeted in the U.S. in the future, including cannabis products. Any significant reduction in cannabis-related advertising or advertising of other products due to content-related restrictions could cause a reduction in our direct revenues from such advertisements.

 

There are various risks associated with our intellectual property rights.

 

No patent protection . We have no patents and rely on a combination of copyright and trade secret protection and nondisclosure agreements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information, products or technology without authorization, to imitate our programming, or to develop similar or superior programming or ideas independently. Imitation of our programming, the creation of similar or superior programming, or the infringement of our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our programming or otherwise adversely affect our potential for revenue. Policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property will be difficult and expensive.

 

Enforcing our proprietary rights may require litigation . Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to protect our copyrights, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

 

Others may assert infringement claims against us . One of the risks of our business is the possibility of claims that our productions infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties with respect to previously developed content. In addition, our technology and software may be subject to patent, copyright or other intellectual property claims of third parties. We could receive in the future claims of infringement of other parties’ proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that infringement claims will not be asserted or prosecuted against us, or that any assertions or prosecutions will not materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such claims, we would incur significant costs and diversion of resources with respect to the defense thereof, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any claims or actions are asserted against us, we may seek to obtain a license under a third party’s intellectual property rights. We cannot provide any assurances, however, that under such circumstances a license would be available on reasonable terms or at all.

 

  7  
 

 

We rely on a number of third parties, and such reliance exposes us to a number of risks.

 

Our operations depend and will depend on a number of third parties. We have limited control over these third parties. We do not and in the future may not have long-term agreements with them. In addition, we do not own a gateway onto the Internet. Instead, we now and presumably always will rely on a network operating center to connect our Web site to the Internet. Overall, our inability to maintain satisfactory relationships with the requisite third parties on acceptable commercial terms, or the failure of such third parties to maintain the quality of services they provide at a satisfactory standard, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Risks Related To Our Common Stock

 

We have both the obligation and the ability to issue additional shares of our common stock, and the issuance of such additional shares of common stock may depress the price of our common stock.

 

We have both the ability as well as outstanding obligations to issue additional shares of common stock in the future. These include the following:

 

  ●  We may sell and issue to Kodiak up to 37,500,000 shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement and will be required to issue up to an additional 37,500,000 shares of common stock under the warrant held by Kodiak upon exercise by Kodiak;
  ●  Our Amended and Restated 2004 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan allows us to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of common stock and options. We currently have 2,075,272 shares of our common stock available for issuance under our Amended and Restated 2004 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan;
  ●  There are 160,506,452 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to common stock options and warrants outstanding as of the date of this prospectus;
  ●  There are 2,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of 2,000,000 shares of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock;
  ●  There are 12,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of 2,000,000 shares of outstanding Series C Preferred Stock; and
  ●  Shares of common stock issuable pursuant to convertible debt instruments outstanding, as described further below.

 

The options, warrants and other convertible securities described above will permit the holders to purchase shares of common stock at specified prices. These purchase prices may be less than the then current market price of our common stock. Any shares of common stock issued pursuant to these options would further dilute the percentage ownership of existing stockholders. The terms on which we could obtain additional capital during the life of these options and warrants may be adversely affected because of such potential dilution. Finally, we may issue additional shares in the future other than as listed above. There are no preemptive rights in connection with our common stock. Thus, the percentage ownership of existing stockholders may be diluted if we issue additional shares in the future. Future issuances of additional shares pursuant to options, warrants other convertible securities could cause immediate and substantial dilution to the net tangible book value of shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately before such issuances. Any future decrease in the net tangible book value of such issued and outstanding shares could materially and adversely affect the market value of the shares.

 

We may issue additional stock without stockholder consent.

 

Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, to issue all or part of our authorized but unissued shares. Additional shares may be issued in connection with future financing, acquisitions, employee stock plans, or otherwise. Any such issuance will dilute the percentage ownership of existing stockholders. The Board, from the authorized capital of 25,000,000 preferred shares, has authorized and designated 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 12,000,0000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, of which 2,000,000 shares and 12,000,000 shares are issued and outstanding, respectively. The Board of Directors can issue preferred stock in one or more series and fix the terms of such stock without stockholder approval. Preferred stock may include the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and reduce the value of the common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to holders of preferred stock could discourage, delay or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of our company, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders. Such issuance could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause us to take other corporate actions you desire.

 

  8  
 

 

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, or upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and cause the market price of our common stock to fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could hinder our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

 

Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our common stock because it is considered a penny stock and is subject to the penny stock rules.

 

Our common stock currently constitutes “penny stock.” Subject to certain exceptions, for the purposes relevant to us, “penny stock” includes any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain brokers-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a “penny stock.” In particular, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse), must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

 

The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.

 

As an issuer of “Penny Stock” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.

 

Although the federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this particular safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.

 

Because our Board of Directors does not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, stockholders may have to sell their shares of our common stock to realize a return on their investment in the company.

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available. To date, we have paid no dividends. Our Board of Directors does not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future, but instead intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations. Accordingly, a return on an investment in shares of our common stock may be realized only through a sale of such shares, if at all.

 

We have outstanding convertible debt, which, if repaid will require a significant amount of capital, or if converted into our common stock could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

 

As of September 30, 2017, we had convertible notes outstanding with a cumulative outstanding principal balance of $270,000 which, if not converted into our common stock, require repayment at a premium to the outstanding balance, resulting in the need for approximately $480,000 in liquid capital. If, rather than repay these notes, we allow them to convert into our common stock, the conversions would be done at a discount to the market price of our common stock. The potential dilutive effects of these conversions at various conversion prices below our most recent market price of $0.09 per share is as follows:

 

      100%     75%     50%     25%
      $0.09     $0.675     $0.045     $0.0225
                         
Potential dilutive shares     3,000,000     4,000,000     6,000,000     12,000,000

 

  9  
 

 

The issuance and sale of common stock upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes may depress the market price of our common stock.

 

As sequential conversions of our convertible notes with conversion prices tied to the trading price of our common stock are effected, and sales of the shares issued on conversion occur, the price of our common stock may decline, and as a result, the holder of these notes will be entitled to receive an increasing number of shares in connection with its conversions, which shares could then be sold in the market, triggering further price declines and conversions for even larger numbers of shares, to the detriment of our investors. The shares of common stock which the convertible notes are convertible into may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 provided the notes were held for at least six months. As a result, the sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

In addition, the common stock issuable upon conversion of these convertible notes may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As described above, overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of the company’s stock will decrease, and any additional shares which stockholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. We have issued various convertible notes that are convertible into shares of our common stock at a discount to market, which provides the holders with the ability to sell their common stock at or below market and still make a profit. In the event of such overhang, the note holder will have an incentive to sell their common stock as quickly as possible. If the share volume of our common stock cannot absorb the discounted shares, then the value of our common stock will likely decrease.

 

The continuously adjustable conversion price feature of our convertible notes may encourage short selling of our common stock, which could have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock.

 

The significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the holder of the convertible notes converts and sells material amounts of our common stock could encourage investors to short sell our common stock. This could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. In addition, not only the sale of shares issued upon conversion of the convertible notes, but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Market volatility has significantly affected our stock price and is likely to effect the value of your shares.

 

The market price for our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be extremely volatile. In addition, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, most of which we cannot control, including, among others:

 

  ●  fluctuations in stock market prices and trading volumes of similar companies;
  ●  regulatory or legal developments;
  ●  general market conditions and overall fluctuations in U.S. equity markets;
  ●  variations in our quarterly operating results;
  ●  changes in accounting principles;
  ●  our ability to raise additional capital and the terms on which we can raise it;
  ●  sales of large blocks of our common stock, including sales by our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders;
  ●  announcements of new products, brands, services, commercial relationships, acquisitions or other events by us or our competitors;
  ●  additions or departures of key personnel;
  ●  discussion of us or our stock price by the press or in online investor communities; and
  ●  other risks and uncertainties described in these risk factors.

 

Risks Relating to Our Agreements with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC

 

The sale of our common stock to Kodiak may cause dilution, and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by Kodiak, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as amended, Kodiak has committed to purchase up to an aggregate of 37,500,000 shares of our common stock. The shares that may be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in the future may be sold by us to Kodiak at our discretion from time to time, commencing after the SEC has declared effective the registration statement that includes this prospectus and concluding on March 31, 2019. The per share purchase price for the shares that we may sell to Kodiak under the Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock, and will be equal to 80% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the three trading days following our delivery of the applicable Put Notice to Kodiak to purchase the shares. Closings from time to time under the Purchase Agreement will only occur if the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the applicable valuation period is greater than or equal to $0.14 per share, unless otherwise agreed to by Kodiak and us. Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of shares of common stock to Kodiak may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall.

 

  10  
 

 

We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Kodiak, except that, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we may not sell shares to Kodiak if the sale would result in its beneficial ownership of more than 9.99% of our the outstanding common stock. Kodiak may ultimately purchase all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and, after it has acquired shares, Kodiak may sell all, some or none of those shares. Therefore, sales to Kodiak by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to Kodiak, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

 

Kodiak will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our common stock for purchases under the Purchase Agreement.

 

The common stock to be issued to Kodiak pursuant to the Purchase Agreement may be purchased at a 20% discount to the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the three trading days following the delivery of the applicable Put Notice. Kodiak has a financial incentive to sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If Kodiak sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease. If our stock price decreases, Kodiak may have a further incentive to sell the shares of our common stock that it holds. These sales may have a further impact on our stock price.

 

We may not be able to put to Kodiak all 37,500,000 shares available under the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Purchase Agreement provides for the purchase by Kodiak of up to 37,500,000 shares of our common stock, which at the minimum purchase price of $0.14 per share under the Purchase Agreement would result in gross proceeds to us of $5,250,000. Our ability to draw down funds and sell shares under the Purchase Agreement requires the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part be declared effective by the SEC and continue to be effective at the time of the put, as well as Kodiak’s compliance with its obligations under the Purchase Agreement.   Accordingly, there can be no guarantee that that we will be able to draw down all or any portion of the $5,250,000 available to us under the Purchase Agreement.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The Shares offered by this prospectus will be sold by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock to Kodiak under the Purchase Agreement, and upon the exercise of warrants held by the selling stockholders. These proceeds would be used for general working capital purposes and for the expansion of Green Leaf’s cultivation facilities.

In accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) under the Exchange Act, we have excluded from the number of shares beneficially owned prior to the Offering all of the shares that Kodiak may be required to purchase under the Purchase Agreement, because the issuance of such shares is solely at our discretion and is subject to certain conditions, the satisfaction of all of which are outside of Kodiak’s control, including the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part becoming and remaining effective. Furthermore, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we may not issue shares of our common stock to Kodiak to the extent that Kodiak or any of its affiliates would, at any time, beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock, and under the terms of the warrant Kodiak may not exercise the warrant to the extent that Kodiak or any of its affiliates would, at any time, beneficially own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all 75,400,000 shares subject to this prospectus were included as beneficially owned by Kodiak stockholders as of February 27 , 2018, Kodiak would beneficially own approximately 11.4% of our outstanding shares of common stock.

The selling stockholders other than Kodiak may also sell Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

In connection with the sale of the shares or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

Kodiak is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Kodiak has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

 

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.

 

Kodiak has agreed to pay us $25,000 for legal fees incurred in connection with the filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part on the date the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC. Subject to such reimbursement, we will pay all fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares.

 

Because Kodiak is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder.

 

We intend to keep this prospectus effective until such time as all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of our securities by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

Overview

 

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 projected that by the end of 2017 there will be 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.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Segment Reporting

 

Under FASB ASC 280-10-50, the Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

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.

 

  17  
 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We maintain cash balances in non-interest-bearing transaction accounts, which do not currently exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

We generate the majority of our revenues and corresponding accounts receivable from video production services on a project basis and subscriptions for video content. We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable considering a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific reserve for bad debts against amounts due in order to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. For all other customers, we recognize reserves for bad debts based on past write-off experience and the length of time the receivables are past due. We had no debts expense during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

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. Our investments which are accounted for on the cost method of accounting have been completely impaired previously, and no impairment expense was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

 

Deferred Television Costs

 

Deferred television costs 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. The Company recognized $95,000 of revenues on November 1, 2012 with the completion of the first of three pilot episodes; and accordingly, recognized $75,617 of expenses related to the development of the pilot. The remaining $135,000 of revenues, and corresponding $116,454 of deferred television costs, were deferred and were recognized upon completion in 2016.

 

Deferred television costs consist of the following at December 31, 2016 and 2015:

 

    December 31,     December 31,  
    2016     2015  
Development and pre-production costs   $ -     $ -  
In-production                  -       68,264  
Post production     -       48,190  
Total deferred television costs   $ -     $ 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.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:

 

Software 3 years
Office equipment and website development costs 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years

 

Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which have extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

 

  18  
 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows of future operations. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses on the disposal of fixed assets during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Construction in Progress

 

The Company is constructing a grow house in its leased facility, which is scheduled to be operational during the second quarter of 2017, at which time depreciation will commence. As of December 31, 2016, the Company incurred and capitalized in Construction in Progress $239,220. The estimated cost to be incurred in 2016 and 2017 to complete construction of the grow house is approximately $1.7 million. The construction will be completed in phases and the portion of the $1.7 million incurred after the facility is initially operational will be capitalized separately as separate leasehold improvements, while the costs incurred to get the facility operational will begin to be depreciated upon commencement of operations.

 

Deferred Rent Obligation

 

The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for its corporate office 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

  19  
 

 

Deferred revenues consist of the following at December 31, 2016 and 2015:

 

    December 31,     December 31,  
    2016     2015  
                            
Deferred revenues on television pilot episodes   $ -     $ 135,000  

 

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.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotions as incurred. Advertising and promotions expense was $11,571 and $16,097 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Website Development Costs

 

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with ASC 350-50, “Accounting for Website Development Costs” (“ASC 350-50”), wherein website development costs are segregated into three activities:

 

  1) Initial stage (planning), whereby the related costs are expensed.
  2) Development (web application, infrastructure, graphics), whereby the related costs are capitalized and amortized once the website is ready for use. Costs for development content of the website may be expensed or capitalized depending on the circumstances of the expenditures.
  3) Post-implementation (after site is up and running: security, training, admin), whereby the related costs are expensed as incurred. Upgrades are usually expensed, unless they add additional functionality.

 

The Company had no capitalized website development costs during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 related to its internet television platforms pursuant to the development stage.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For 2016 and 2015, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

 

  20  
 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. Stock and stock options issued for services and compensation totaled $431,500 and $460,191 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

PNTV recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. PNTV provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

 

Various taxing authorities periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.

 

The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.

General and Administrative:

 

General and administrative expenses were $1,078,409 for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $819,658 for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $258,751, or 32%.

These changes were primarily due to our aggressive attempts to settle convertible debts in substitute of more favorable financing opportunities to build out our operations.

We have utilized these funds to repay approximately $30,000 of previously issued convertible debentures and settlements, comply with our regulatory reporting requirements, and to fund our subsidiary’s cannabis business during the quarter. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company granted 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, compared to a total of $346,000 stock-based compensation, consisting of 6,250,000 shares of preferred stock valued at $192,000 and 20,400,000 shares of common stock valued at $102,000 in lieu of cash payments to our CEO, as well as an aggregate 9,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $45,000 to our Directors and 2,000,000 shares valued at $7,000 to an attorney during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. 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 2017.

 

As of November 18, 2017, we had four convertible notes outstanding with a cumulative outstanding principal balance of $270,000. Repayment of the notes must be done at a premium to the then-outstanding balance, resulting in the need for approximately $370,000 in liquid capital. If, rather than repay these notes, we allow them to convert into our common stock, which conversions would be done at a discount to the market price of our common stock, all of which could be sold into the open market at the time of conversion. The potential dilutive effects of these conversions at various conversion prices below our most recent market price of $0.09 per share is as follows:

 

  28  
 

 

 

      100%     75%     50%       25%
Potential conversion prices   $ 0.09     $ 0.675     $ 0.045     $ 0.0225  
                                 
Potential dilutive shares     3,000,000       4,000,000       6,000,000       12,000,000  

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2017, 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.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS

 

Players Network was incorporated in the State of Nevada in March of 1993. We are 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 our majority-owned subsidiary, Green Leaf Farms Holdings LLC, in which we hold an 85.4% interest. Green Leaf commenced operations on May 31, 2017. We also distribute content relating to the cannabis industry at WeedTV.com.

 

Green Leaf Cannabis Business Overview

 

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 projected that by the end of 2017 there will be 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
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. WeedTV.com may generate revenues through advertising, cross selling with other companies and premium membership subscriptions. We estimate our advertising market for Weed TV to be in excess of 70,000 businesses and will continue to grow as more states legalize MME businesses. However, to date, we have generated only approximately $25,000 of revenue from Weed TV.

 

Market Opportunity for Media Platform

 

The digital revolution has rapidly changed the way consumers’ access television content. Instead of scheduled programming, video can now be viewed “On Demand” through digital cable television and satellite networks, broadband internet, and by downloading content to mobile and wireless devices such as smart phones and tablets.

 

Each new network we create is expected to become an integrated channel destination that will include VOD television and a social community to complete and complement a vertical distribution and marketing strategy. Each network is expected to command a new audience and generate advertisement revenues tied to the amount of monthly viewers. We plan on integrating our website destinations with social media elements in order to create communities and increase memberships.

 

  30  
 

 

Media Distribution

 

We intend to heavily market and cross-promote Weed TV and are actively exploring additional relationships through social media networks. We also intend to use our website to develop cannabis communities, then offer the members of these communities live video events, information services, discounts, travel, internet based commerce, etc., as well as instant messaging, chat, comments, reviews and perspectives from consumers on a variety of topical subjects.

 

Content/Programming

 

The development of our programming is led by Michael Berk, a successful Hollywood television producer. Michael Berk has created over 500 hours of network television that includes five television series. Mr. Berk is best known for his series “Baywatch”, for which he was the Executive Producer for twelve years. Baywatch is distributed in 144 countries and is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most watched television show in history.

 

Our Weed TV brand recently began developing original content as well as acquiring the rights to other marijuana related programming that includes documentaries, cooking shows, concerts, travel shows, growing shows, medical shows, political shows, financial shows and more. We have produced an aggregated of over 450 original short video segments to feature documentaries that we own or have rebroadcast rights for.

 

Competition

 

Cannabis

 

Green Leaf’s cannabis business is subject to intense and increasing competition. Some of our competitors have substantially greater capital resources, facilities and infrastructure then we have, which enable them to compete more effectively in this market. These competitors include subsidiaries of TerraTech Corp., which is a public company, and numerous other local businesses engaged in the cultivation and production of cannabis, and the operation of dispensary facilities in Nevada. Numerous companies not currently operating were also granted MME licenses, and, therefore, we anticipate that Green Leaf will face competition with these other companies especially those with locations near Green Leaf’s facilities.

 

Media

 

Weed TV faces intense competition from a variety of other companies. In addition to other Web sites that provide content focused on the cannabis industry, we face competition from other media businesses, as well as other media, such as newspapers, magazines, television, direct mail, mobile devices, satellite radio, Internet-based services and live entertainment. Our competitors may develop technology, services or advertising media that are equal or superior to those we provide or that achieve greater market acceptance and brand recognition than we achieve.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We have a library of over 1,800 gaming and cannabis lifestyle videos. We own the intellectual property rights in the programming and content that we produce. Moreover, the slogans, “WeedTV.com”, “Everybody wants to be a player” and “The only game in town” are trademarks we have registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “PTO”). “Players Network” is also a registered trademark with the PTO.

 

Governmental Approval and Regulation

 

Cannabis Business

 

As of December 2017, 29 states and the District of Columbia have passed legislation legalizing medicinal cannabis, and eight of those states and the District of Columbia have legalized the recreational use of cannabis. These state laws are in direct conflict with the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act, under which cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug, which is viewed as having a high potential for abuse, with no currently-accepted use for medical treatment in the U.S. State laws vary, but generally exempt patients who use medicinal cannabis under a physician’s supervision from state criminal penalties.

 

  31  
 

 

The conflict between federal and state laws has also limited the access to banking and other financial services by marijuana businesses. Recently the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Treasury issued guidance for banks considering conducting business with marijuana dispensaries in states where those businesses are legal, pursuant to which banks must now file a Marijuana Limited Suspicious Activity Report that states the marijuana business is following the government’s guidelines with regard to revenue that is generated exclusively from legal sales. However, since the same guidance noted that banks could still face prosecution if they provide financial services to marijuana businesses, it has led to the widespread refusal of the banking industry to offer banking services to marijuana businesses operating within state and local laws.

 

On August 29, 2013, United States Deputy Attorney General James Cole issued the Cole Memo to United States Attorneys guiding them to prioritize enforcement of Federal law away from the cannabis industry operating as permitted under state law, so long as:

 

cannabis is not being distributed to minors and dispensaries are not located around schools and public buildings;
the proceeds from sales are not going to gangs, cartels or criminal enterprises;
cannabis grown in states where it is legal is not being diverted to other states;
cannabis-related businesses are not being used as a cover for sales of other illegal drugs or illegal activity;
there is not any violence or use of fire-arms in the cultivation and sale of marijuana;
there is strict enforcement of drugged-driving laws and adequate prevention of adverse health consequences; and
cannabis is not grown, used, or possessed on Federal properties.

 

The Cole Memo was meant only as a guide for United States Attorneys and did not alter in any way the Department of Justice’s Federal authority to enforce Federal law, including Federal laws relating to cannabis, regardless of state law.

 

On January 4, 2018, United States Attorney General Jefferson Sessions issued a Memorandum to United States Attorneys rescinding the Cole Memo, stating that prosecutors should follow well-established principles in effect prior to the issuance of the Cole Memo that govern all federal prosecutions in deciding which activities to prosecute under existing federal laws. The federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial damage to us.

 

Media Business

 

We do not believe that any governmental approvals are required to distribute our media products or services. The Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 and the Telecommunications Act of 1996, govern the distribution of video programming by cable, satellite or over-the-air technology, through regulation by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). However, because our media distribution systems do not use any public rights of way, they are not classified as cable systems and are subject to minimal regulation. Thus, the FCC does not directly regulate our programming.

 

Although the FCC generally does not directly regulate the services provided by us, the regulation of media distribution and communications services is subject to the political process and has been in constant flux over the past decade. Further material changes in the law and regulatory requirements must be anticipated and there can be no assurance that our business will not be adversely affected by future legislation or new regulations.

 

Employees

 

We currently have 2 full-time employees: our chief executive officer, Mark Bradley, and our chief financial officer Geoffrey Lawrence. In addition, we currently have engaged approximately 20 outside consultants to cover needed support such as business affairs, programming and technology design, cultivation and deployment supported by independent contractors on an as needed basis.

 

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

Our executive offices are located at 1771 E. Flamingo Road, #201-A, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119. Our office space consists of approximately 2,800 square feet leased pursuant to a three-year lease that expired on August 31, 2016, and is now on a month-to-month basis at a monthly payment of $3,191.

 

  32  
 

 

We also leased a commercial building that originated on April 17, 2016 for our medical marijuana production and cultivation business in North Las Vegas. The five-year operating lease expires on April 16, 2021 and is renewable for another five year term, required a $50,000 security deposit and includes an option to purchase the building for $3.8 million during the third, fourth and fifth years of the lease. The lease provides for increases in future minimum annual rental payments based on defined annual increases beginning with monthly payments of $26,786 and culminating in a monthly payment of $30,148 in 2021.

 

These properties are in good condition, well maintained and adequate for our current and immediately foreseeable operating needs.

 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Michael Pratter

 

On November 3, 2016, Michael S. Pratter commenced an action in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County, Nevada, against Players Network, Green Leaf Farms Holdings, and our Chief Executive Officer. In his complaint, Pratter asserts several causes of action, including for breach of contract and fraud, relating to his claim that he provided consulting services to us for which he was not fully paid. We are defending ourselves vigorously in this matter and believe that Pratter’s claims are without merit, and that in fact we over-paid Pratter. In November 2017 we filed a Counterclaim against Mr. Pratter in this proceeding in which we asserted ten causes of action, which relate in part to Mr. Pratter’s representations that he would provide us with legal services when in fact he was not licensed to practice law in the State of Nevada and had been disbarred by the California State Bar. Among other relief, our Counterclaim seeks disgorgement of all amounts paid to Mr. Pratter during his engagement by us, including the return of 1.5 million shares of our Common Stock we had issued to him. Previously, in August 2017, following our motion and our posting of treasury shares with the Clerk of the Court as security, the Court approved our application for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction under which Mr. Pratter is prohibited from transferring the 1.5 million shares of Common Stock we had issued to him, until further order of the Court.

 

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 preliminary discovery stages. We believe LG Funding’s claims are without merit.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following is a brief description of our capital stock. This summary does not purport to be complete in all respects. This description is subject to and qualified entirely by the terms of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which have been filed with the SEC, and by Nevada law.

 

We currently have authorized 1,200,000,000 shares of common stock, 2,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock and 12,000,000 Series C preferred stock. As of February 27 , 2018, there were 587,497,236 shares of common stock outstanding, 2,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding and 12,000,000 Series C preferred stock outstanding. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are all held by Michael Bradley and Michael Berk, who are directors and officers of ours.

 

Common Stock

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Stockholders do not have preemptive rights to purchase shares in any future issuance of our common stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Holders of our Series A preferred stock are entitled to 25 votes for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of our Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to 50 votes for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. The Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock participate with our common stock in all dividends and distributions (including upon a liquidation) on a share-for-share basis with our common stock, except that in the event of a dividend on our common stock payable in additional shares of common stock, holder of our Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock will receive dividends payable in shares of such Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock at the option of the holder at any time, and automatically upon a transfer to an unrelated party. Management’s ownership of our Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock helps enable them to maintain their positions with us and thus control of our business and affairs.

Employment Agreements

 

Mark Bradley, Chief Executive Officer

 

On July 17, 2015, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Bradley that replaced his prior employment agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the new employment agreement, Mr. Bradley serves as the Company’s CEO and Chairman. The employment agreement has a term of five years and six months, commencing July 1, 2015. Under the employment agreement Mr. Bradley is entitled to an annual base salary of $175,000 or such greater amount as may be determined by the Board of Directors in connection with a performance review to be performed at least once annually. In the event that the Board determines that we cannot afford to pay Mr. Bradley any portion of his base salary, Mr. Bradley may, at his sole option, elect one of the following:

 

●     Defer receipt of his base salary until such time as the Company has the funds to pay him. In the event that Mr. Bradley elects this option, the unpaid salary shall be paid with no interest.

 

●     Elect to convert all, or a portion of the unpaid salary into Series C Preferred Stock at an exchange rate equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date immediately preceding each election.

 

Mr. Bradley is also entitled to an annual bonus, subject to meeting mutually agreed upon annual performance criteria mutually established by the Company and Mr. Bradley.

 

In the event that Mr. Bradley’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason (other than as a result of the termination for cause or by death) or terminated by Mr. Bradley as a result of a material breach of the employment agreement by the Company (any of the foregoing, an “Involuntary Termination”), Mr. Bradley is entitled to continue to receive his base salary and all benefits for the remainder of the term of the employment agreement as if it had not been terminated. In addition, Mr. Bradley would receive from the Company, on the effective date of the Involuntary Termination, a lump sum amount equal to two times Mr. Bradley’s then current base salary. In addition, all stock options that Mr. Bradley would be eligible though the natural term of the employment agreement will immediately become fully vested. In the event Mr. Bradley or his family is ineligible under the terms of any insurance to continue to be covered, the Company shall provide Mr. Bradley and his family with substantially equivalent coverage through other sources or will provide Mr. Bradley with a lump sum payment equal to the agreed upon value of the continuation of such insurance coverage to which Mr. Bradley is entitled under the employment agreement.

 

  35  
 

 

In the event of Mr. Bradley’s death during the term of the employment agreement, the Company will pay to Mr. Bradley’s designated beneficiary 100% of Mr. Bradley’s then current base salary for a period of 12 months following Mr. Bradley’s death.

 

The Company has the right to terminate Mr. Bradley’s employment for Cause upon written notice to Mr. Bradley. The term “Cause” means Mr. Bradley must have (i) been willful, gross or persistent in his inattention to his duties or Mr. Bradley committed acts which constitute willful or gross misconduct and, after written notice of the same has been given to Mr. Bradley and he has been given an opportunity to cure the same within 30 days after such notice; or (ii) committed fraud against the Company. If Mr. Bradley’s employment is terminated for Cause and Mr. Bradley does not consent to such termination, such termination shall not be considered effective and Mr. Bradley’s rights under the employment agreement shall continue until the existence of Cause has been determined by an independent arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association and either party’s rights to petition a court of law for a decision in the matter have been exhausted.

 

Mr. Bradley is subject to a nondisclosure provision that continues for a period of one year following his termination of employment, and a noncompete agreement during the term of his employment with the Company.

 

Michael Berk, President of Programming

 

We are not currently a party to an employment with Mr. Berk and do not pay him cash compensation for his services to the Company.

 

Geoffrey Lawrence, Chief Financial Officer

 

On August 8, 2017, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Lawrence under which we employed Mr. Lawrence as our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer for a two-year term at an annual base salary of $100,800. The employment agreement also provides for the issuance to Mr. Lawrence of (i) $12,960 of shares of the Company’s common stock on a quarterly basis, with the first such issuance on October 1, 2017, whereby the number of shares shall be determined based on the most recent closing traded price on October 1 st , January 1 st , April 1 st and July 1st, as applicable, (ii) 250,000 shares of common stock on July 4, 2017, as a signing bonus, and (iii) an option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock, vesting ratably on a monthly basis over a one-year period beginning on August 8, 2017, at an exercise price of $0.17 per share.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

On January 26, 2017, we sold 14,000,000 units, consisting of 14,000,000 shares of common stock and 14,000,000 two-year warrants exercisable at $0.05 per share, to Mark Bradley, our Chief Executive Officer for cash proceeds of $350,000.

 

We are not currently subject to corporate governance standards of listed companies, which require, among other things, that the majority of the Board of Directors be independent and define the independence of directors. However, we have chosen to define an “independent” director in accordance with the NASDAQ Global Market’s requirements for independent directors. Under those requirement, our Board of Directors has determined that only Mr. Pojunis is an “independent” director.

 

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES LIABILITIES

 

Our articles of incorporation have eliminated our directors’ and officers’ personal liability for damages for breaches of fiduciary duty but do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director officer for (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law, or (b) the payment of dividends in violation of applicable law. The effect of this provision of our articles of incorporation is to eliminate our rights and those of our stockholders to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except as provided above or under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

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, 2016 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.

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”).

 

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 $314,146 of construction costs have been capitalized as of September 30, 2017.

Revenue Recognition

 

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 May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“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.

 

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-7, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . This ASU requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost, which include interest cost and prior service cost or credit, among others, are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018, including interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet concluded how the new standard will impact the consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-3, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 232): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings . This ASU expands disclosures regarding potential material effects to the Company’s consolidated financial statements that may occur when adopting ASU’s in the future. When a company cannot reasonably estimate the impact of adopting an ASU, disclosures are to be expanded to include qualitative disclosures including a description to the effect to the company’s accounting policies, a comparison the existing policies, the status of its process to implement the new standard and any significant implementation matters yet to be addressed. This standard will generally require more disclosure in the Company’s consolidated financial statements when adopted.

 

No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, 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 ($36,151,435), and as of September 30, 2017, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $2,837,261. 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.

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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively:

 

    Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2017

Note 14 – Derivative Liabilities

 

As discussed in Note 11 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 $1,582,282 and $482,674 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities resulted in a loss of $528,633 and $238,679 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which has been reported as other expense in the statements of operations. 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 loss of $238,679 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 consisted of a gain of $167 attributable to the fair value of warrants and a net loss in market value of $238,679 on the convertible notes.

 

The following presents the derivative liability value by instrument type at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively:

 

    September 30, 2017     December 31, 2016  
Convertible debentures   $ 486,903     $ 462,489  
Common stock warrants     1,095,379       20,185  
    $ 1,582,282     $ 482,674  

 

The following is a summary of changes in the fair market value of the derivative liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively:

Key inputs and assumptions used to value the convertible debentures and warrants issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016:

 

  Stock prices on all measurement dates were based on the fair market value and would fluctuate with projected volatility.
  The warrant exercise prices ranged from $0.03 to $0.24, exercisable over 2 to 10 year periods from the grant date.
  The holders of the securities would convert monthly to the ownership limit starting at 4.99% increasing by 10% per month.
  The monthly trading volume would average below $2,740,072 in the period and would increase at 1% per month.
  The holder would automatically convert the notes at maturity at the greater of 2 times the conversion price or stock price if the registration was effective and the Company was not in default.
  An event of default for the convertible note would occur 0% of the time, increasing to 1% per month to a maximum of 5%.
  Alternative financing for the convertible note would be initially available to redeem the note 0% of the time and increase monthly by 5% to a maximum of 50%.
  The computed volatility was projected based on historical volatility.

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, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, 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, 2017, the Company had approximately $25,300,000 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, 2017     December 31, 2016  
Deferred tax assets:                
Net operating loss carry forwards   $ 8,855,000     $ 7,763,000  
                 
Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance     8,855,000       7,763,000  
Less: Valuation allowance     (8,855,000 )     (7,763,000 )
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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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, 2017     December 31, 2016  
             
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.

 

Note 18 – Non-Controlling Interest

 

Non-controlling interest represents a minority interest in GLFH of 15.6% held by ten individuals. The net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest totaled $94,912 and $31,642 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The net loss attributable to the parent was and $555,168 and $171,190 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Players Network

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Players Network as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2016. Players Network’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Players Network as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has recurring losses and insufficient working capital, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business

 

Players Network (Stock Symbol: PNTV) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in March of 1993. Players Network is a vertically integrated diversified company that is engaged in the development of digital networks, and is actively pursuing the cultivation and processing of medical marijuana in North Las Vegas pursuant to two medical marijuana establishments (MME) licenses we were granted by the city of North Las Vegas for cultivation and production. The Company holds an 84.4% interest in Green Leaf Farms Holdings, LLC, which is a holding company formed to house our medical marijuana business. We distribute broadband video and other social media content over a wide variety of internet enabled devices and cable television channels with content focused toward Las Vegas entertainment, gaming and medical marijuana interests. The Company has launched in its alpha stage a proprietary scalable NexGenTV technology platform (“Platform”). The Platform is a content management system that designed to deliver and manage video content with integrated digital social communities, including “Vegas On Demand TV”, “Real Vegas TV” and “Weed TV” on the media side of the business that will help streamline the delivery of content to our distribution partners.

 

On July 8, 2014, we formed a subsidiary, Green Leaf Farms Holdings, Inc. (“GLFH”), in which we retained 83% ownership, with the remaining 17% 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 84.4% ownership and minority interests ownership of 15.6%. The subsidiary has been formed as a holding company to potentially own additional subsidiaries that may operate medical marijuana related businesses. These additional subsidiaries have yet to be formed, and, or, acquired. We had applied for a Medical Marijuana Dispensary special use permit with the City of Las Vegas, and Cultivation and Processing special use permits in North Las Vegas and a license for all permits in the State of Nevada, and have currently been granted the two special use permits in North Las Vegas, however there can be no assurance we will be able to conduct these operations. As such, there is a risk that we may not be able to expand our operations into this field as intended.

 

Basis of Accounting

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting as generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

 

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, Inc. (2)   Nevada   Subsidiary   GLFH

 

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

(2) Majority-owned subsidiary formed on July 8, 2014, in which PNTV retained 83% ownership, with the remaining 17% 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 84.4% ownership and minority interests ownership of 15.6%.

 

The consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the wholly-owned subsidiaries 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.

 

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.

 

Segment Reporting

 

Under FASB ASC 280-10-50, the Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

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.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

PNTV maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing transaction accounts, which do not currently exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

We generate the majority of our revenues and corresponding accounts receivable from video production services on a project basis and subscriptions for video content. We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable considering a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific reserve for bad debts against amounts due in order to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. For all other customers, we recognize reserves for bad debts based on past write-off experience and the length of time the receivables are past due. We had no debts expense during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

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. Our investments which are accounted for on the cost method of accounting have been completely impaired previously, and no impairment expense was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

 

Deferred Television Costs

 

Deferred television costs 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. The Company recognized $95,000 of revenues on November 1, 2012 with the completion of the first of three pilot episodes; and accordingly, recognized $75,617 of expenses related to the development of the pilot. The remaining $135,000 of revenues, and corresponding $116,454 of deferred television costs, were deferred and were recognized upon completion in 2016.

 

Deferred television costs consist of the following at December 31, 2016 and 2015:

 

    December 31,     December 31,  
    2016     2015  
Development and pre-production costs   $ -     $ -  
In-production                -       68,264  
Post production     -       48,190  
Total deferred television costs   $ -     $ 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.

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:

 

Software   3 years
Office equipment and website development costs   5 years
Furniture and fixtures   7 years

 

Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which have extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows of future operations. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses on the disposal of fixed assets during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Construction in Progress

 

The Company is constructing a grow house in its leased facility, which is scheduled to be operational during the second quarter of 2017, at which time depreciation will commence. As of December 31, 2016, the Company incurred and capitalized in Construction in Progress $239,220. The estimated cost to be incurred in 2016 and 2017 to complete construction of the grow house is approximately $1.7 million. The construction will be completed in phases and the portion of the $1.7 million incurred after the facility is initially operational will be capitalized separately as separate leasehold improvements, while the costs incurred to get the facility operational will begin to be depreciated upon commencement of operations.

 

Deferred Rent Obligation

 

The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for its corporate office 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.

 

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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.

 

Deferred revenues consist of the following at December 31, 2016 and 2015:

 

    December 31,     December 31,  
    2016     2015  
                 
Deferred revenues on television pilot episodes   $           -     $ 135,000  

 

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.

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotions as incurred. Advertising and promotions expense was $11,571 and $16,097 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Website Development Costs

 

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with ASC 350-50, “Accounting for Website Development Costs” (“ASC 350-50”), wherein website development costs are segregated into three activities:

 

  1) Initial stage (planning), whereby the related costs are expensed.
  2) Development (web application, infrastructure, graphics), whereby the related costs are capitalized and amortized once the website is ready for use. Costs for development content of the website may be expensed or capitalized depending on the circumstances of the expenditures.
  3) Post-implementation (after site is up and running: security, training, admin), whereby the related costs are expensed as incurred. Upgrades are usually expensed, unless they add additional functionality.

 

The Company had no capitalized website development costs during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 related to its internet television platforms pursuant to the development stage.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For 2016 and 2015, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. Stock and stock options issued for services and compensation totaled $431,500 and $460,191 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

PNTV recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. PNTV provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

 

Various taxing authorities periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.

 

The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) . ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company intends to early adopt the ASU in 2017.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU 2016-20 amended guidance regarding accounting for Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. When effective, this standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not comprehensively addressed in GAAP. This guidance is required to be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 by either recasting all years presented in our financial statements or by recording the impact of adoption as an adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the year of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties that are under Common Control . The amendments in this Update improve GAAP involving situations consisting of common control, wherein a single decision maker focuses on the economics to which it is exposed when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) before potentially evaluating which party is most closely associated with the VIE. ASU 2016-17 is effective for public entities for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory , which reduces the complexity in the accounting standards by allowing the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. Historically, recognition of the income tax consequence was not recognized until the asset was sold to an outside party. This amendment should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. That is, earlier adoption should be in the first interim period if an entity issues interim financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

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 December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively:

Note 5 – Subsidiary Formation

The subsidiary has been formed as a holding company to potentially own additional subsidiaries that may operate medical marijuana related businesses. These additional subsidiaries have yet to be formed, and, or, acquired. We had applied for a Medical Marijuana Dispensary special use permit with the City of Las Vegas, and Cultivation and Processing special use permits in North Las Vegas and a license for all permits in the State of Nevada, and have currently been granted the two special use permits in North Las Vegas, however there can be no assurance we will be able to conduct these operations.

Note 13 – Derivative Liabilities

 

As discussed in Note 10 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 $482,674 and $1,038,504 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities resulted in a loss of $231,519 and a loss of $13,091 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which has been reported as other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The loss of $231,519 for the year ended December 31, 2016 consisted of a loss of $4,417 due to the value in excess of the face value of the convertible notes, a loss of $17,604 attributable to the fair value of warrants and a net loss in market value of $209,498 on the convertible notes. The loss of $13,091 for the year ended December 31, 2015 consisted of a loss of $306,538 due to the value in excess of the face value of the convertible notes, a gain of $2,793 attributable to the fair value of preferred stock, a gain of $110,477 attributable to the fair value of warrants and a net gain in market value of $180,177 on the convertible notes.

 

The following presents the derivative liability value by instrument type at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively:

 

    December 31,     December 31,  
    2016     2015  
Convertible debentures   $ 462,489     $ 1,038,225  
Common stock warrants     20,185       279  
    $ 482,674     $ 1,038,504

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants under the fixed option plan:

 

    December 31,
2016
    December 31,
2015
 
             
Average risk-free interest rates     0.59 %     N/A %
Average expected life (in years)     1       N/A  
Volatility     227 %     N/A %

 

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-term traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s common stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its common stock options. During 2016 and 2015, there were no options granted with an exercise price below the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.

 

The weighted average fair value of options granted with exercise prices at the current fair value of the underlying stock during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $0.001 and $0.05 per option, respectively.

Each Warrant will vest and become exercisable four months following its date of issuance and remain exercisable for a period of two years thereafter; provided, however, that if the Company’s common stock on each of the 30 trading days preceding the vesting date of a Warrant equals or exceeds 300% of the exercise price for such Warrant, then the Company will have the right to reduce the length of the exercise period for such Warrant to 45 days following delivery of notice to SK L-43, LLC.

 

On March 8, 2016, the Company granted detachable warrants pursuant to a $45,000 promissory note to acquire up to 9,000,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at $0.005 per share over a period from the origination date until four (4) months after the note is repaid.

Because the Company’s common stock warrants have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its common stock warrants. During 2016 and 2015, there were no warrants granted with an exercise price below the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.

 

The weighted average fair value of warrants granted with exercise prices at the current fair value of the underlying stock during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $0.01 and $0.05 per warrant, respectively.

Note 18 – 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 years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $22,179,000 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:

 

    December 31,  
    2016     2015  
Deferred tax assets:                
Net operating loss carry forwards   $ 7,763,000     $ 7,203,700  
                 
Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance   $ 7,763,000     $ 7,203,700  
Less: Valuation allowance     (7,763,000 )     (7,203,700 )
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 December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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:

    December 31,  
    2016     2015  
             
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.

 

Note 19 – Future Minimum Lease Payments

 

Effective July 1, 2013, we leased our office space in Las Vegas, Nevada under a 3-year operating lease expiring August 31, 2016. The lease provides for increases in future minimum annual rental payments based on defined annual increases beginning with monthly payments of $2,997 and culminating in a monthly payment of $3,191 in 2016. The lease contains provisions for future rent increases and rent free periods for the first two months of the lease. The total amount of rental payments due over the lease term is being charged to rent expense according to the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid was credited or charged to “Deferred rent obligation,” in the accompanying Balance Sheets. The lease is now on a month-to-month basis.

On October 14, 2015, Green Leaf Farms Holding, Inc. (“GLFH”) and SFC Leasing, LLP entered into a settlement and release of claims agreement that terminated GLFH’s lease that originated on April 16, 2015 for property located at 203 E. Mayflower Avenue in North Las Vegas. The Company paid a total of $83,000 on this lease prior to the termination. The Company subsequently obtained a new building location in order to transition its provisional medical marijuana production and cultivation licenses to an approved status, which is necessary to implement their plan to enter into the medical marijuana industry. Pursuant to NAC 453A.324, the State of NV has imposed a deadline for the timeline to implement operations, which is currently approximately May of 2016. If GLFH is not making significant progress towards being fully operational by then their licenses may be revoked.

 

On March 4, 2016, GLFH leased a commercial building from Belmont NLV, LLC that originated on April 17, 2016 for its medical marijuana production and cultivation business in North Las Vegas. The 5-year operating lease expires on April 16, 2021 and is renewable for another 5 year term, required a $50,000 security deposit and includes an option to purchase the building for $3.8 million during the third, fourth and fifth years of the lease. The lease provides for increases in future minimum annual rental payments based on defined annual increases beginning with monthly payments of $26,786 and culminating in a monthly payment of $30,148 in 2021. The lease contains provisions for future rent increases. The total amount of rental payments due over the lease term is being charged to rent expense according to the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid will be credited or charged to “Deferred rent obligation,” in the Balance Sheets.

On December 9, 2014, one of the non-officer, minority investors exercised an option to purchase an additional 1.6% interest in the Company’s subsidiary from the parent in exchange for proceeds of $160,000 and 3% was transferred back to Players Network from a founding member on December 2, 2015, thereby resulting in a minority interest in the subsidiary of 15.6% amongst ten individuals. The net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest totaled $61,998 and $29,520 during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

We are a Nevada corporation. The Nevada Revised Statutes and certain provisions of our articles of incorporation, under certain circumstances provide for indemnification of our officers, directors and controlling persons against liabilities which they may incur in such capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which such indemnification is provided for is contained herein, but this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our articles of incorporation and to the statutory provisions.

 

In general, any officer, director, employee or agent may be indemnified against expenses, fines, settlements or judgments arising in connection with a legal proceeding to which such person is a party, if that person is not liable due to conduct that constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties and such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, and that person’s actions were in good faith, were believed to be in our best interest, and were not unlawful. Indemnification may not be made for any claim as to which the person seeking indemnity has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable to our company unless the court in which the action or suit was brought or another court of competent jurisdiction determines that in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such court deems proper. Unless such person is successful upon the merits in such an action, indemnification may be awarded only after a determination by independent decision of our Board of Directors, by legal counsel, or by a vote of our stockholders, that the applicable standard of conduct was met by the person to be indemnified.

 

Indemnification may also be granted pursuant to the terms of agreements which may be entered in the future or pursuant to a vote of stockholders or directors. The Nevada Revised Statutes also grant us the power to purchase and maintain insurance which protects our officers and directors against any liabilities incurred in connection with their service in such a position, and we have obtained such a policy.

 

In addition to the provisions of Nevada law applicable to our directors and officers, our articles of incorporation have eliminated our directors’ and officers’ personal liability for damages for breaches of fiduciary duty but do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director officer for (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law, or (b) the payment of dividends in violation of applicable law.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

 

(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

 

(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement, and

 

(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

 

provided, however , that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

II- 11
 

 

(5) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(7) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post- effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(8) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
