Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Players Network (the “Company”) included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to not make the information presented misleading.

 

These statements reflect all adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2015 and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

    State of       Abbreviated
Name of Entity (2)   Incorporation   Relationship   Reference
Players Network (1)   Nevada   Parent   PNTV
Green Leaf Farms Holdings, Inc. (2)   Nevada   Subsidiary   GLFH
Green Leaf Medical, LLC (3) (4)   Nevada   Subsidiary   GLML

 

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

 

(2) Majority-owned subsidiary formed on July 8, 2014, in which PNTV holds 84.4% ownership, with the remaining 15.6% held by key experts and advisors as of June 30, 2016.

 

(3) Wholly-Owned subsidiary of GLFH formed for prospective purposes, but has not incurred any income or expenses to date.

 

(4) Entity formed for prospective purposes, but has not incurred any income or expenses to date.

 

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 subsidiaries, GLFH and GLML 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.

 

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 will be recognized upon completion and delivery of the remaining content. We also delivered a series of ‘webisodes’ and miscellaneous footage in the second quarter of 2014, however, the recipient refused to accept the modification of the terms and we had to reverse the recognition and defer the revenue and related television costs.

Players Network

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Deferred television costs consist of the following at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

 

    June 30, 2016     December 31, 2015  
Development and pre-production costs   $ -     $ -  
In-production     68,264       68,264  
Post production     48,190       48,190  
Total deferred television costs   $ 116,454     $ 116,454  

 

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

 

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.

 

Deferred revenues consist of the following at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

 

    June 30, 2016     December 31, 2015  
                 
Deferred revenues on television pilot episodes   $ 135,000     $ 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.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) (“ASU 2016-09”) . The provisions of the update amend ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, and includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements, including accounting for the income tax consequences, estimates of forfeitures and classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 amends various aspects of existing accounting guidance for leases, including the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This standard also introduces new disclosure requirements for leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. This ASU must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”) . The provisions of the update require equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment. The update also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. It also eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. ASU No. 2016-16 requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. It also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The update requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by category and form on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. In addition, the update clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. For public business entities, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest–Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) (“ASU 2015-03”), which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. For public business entities, ASU 2015-03 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, ASU 2015-03 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The new guidance should be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 on its balance sheets retrospectively during the interim period ending March 31, 2016.

 

No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the three months ended June 30, 2016, 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 ($29,760,463), and as of June 30, 2016, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $2,175,643. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new ventures to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. Management believes these factors will contribute toward achieving profitability. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively:

Note 5 – Subsidiary Formation

 

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, of which 16% was distributed to individuals as compensation for their services, including 3% to Mr. Bradley, CEO and 1% to Mr. Berk, President of Programming, and an additional 1% was sold to one of those individuals for $60,000. 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 18.6% as of December 31, 2015.

These additional subsidiaries have yet to be formed, and, or, acquired, with the exception of Green Leaf Medical, LLC (“GLML”), which was formed on July 18, 2014 and has no activity to date. 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.

On November 7, 2012, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (“Investment Agreement”) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Dutchess”), as amended on July 5, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, Dutchess committed to purchase, in a series of purchase transactions (“Puts”), up to eight million five hundred thousand ($8,500,000) dollars of the Company’s common stock over a period of up to thirty-six (36) months from the effective date of the registration statement covering the Equity Line Financing with Dutchess, which was September 26, 2013.

 

The amount that the Company is entitled to request with each Put delivered to Dutchess is equal to, at its option, either (i) two hundred (200%) percent of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of its common stock for three (3) trading days prior to the applicable Put Notice Date, multiplied by the average of the three (3) daily closing prices immediately preceding the Put Date or (ii) fifty thousand ($50,000) dollars. The purchase price to be paid by Dutchess for the shares of the Company’s common stock covered by each Put will be equal to ninety-five (95%) percent of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock during the period beginning on the Put Notice Date and ending on and including the date that is five (5) trading days after such Put Notice Date (“Pricing Period”). The “Put Notice Date” is the trading day immediately following the day on which Dutchess receives a Put Notice from the Company.

 

For each Put Notice submitted to Dutchess under the Investment Agreement, there is a Suspension Price of $0.01 for that Put. In the event the common stock falls below the Suspension Price, the put shall be temporarily suspended. The Put shall resume at such time as the common stock is above the Suspension Price, provided the dates for the Pricing Period for that particular put are still valid. In the event the Pricing Period has been complete, any shares above the Suspension Price due to Dutchess shall be sold to Dutchess by us at the volume weighted average price under the terms of the Investment Agreement.

 

In conjunction with the Investment Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) with Dutchess. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 26, 2013 covering 22,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying a portion of the Investment Agreement. In addition, during the term of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement, as well as any subsequent registration statements that may be associated with the Investment Agreement and/or Registration Rights Agreement.

 

As of the filing date of this report, the Company had not sold any shares to Dutchess nor received any financing from Dutchess. The registration statement will expire on September 26, 2016 and a new Form S-1 would need to be refiled in order to continue with the agreement.

Note 12 – Derivative Liabilities

 

As discussed in Note 9 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 $697,711 and $1,038,504 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities resulted in a gain (loss) of $(42,593) and $37,156 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which has been reported as other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The loss of $42,593 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 consisted of a loss of $18,637 attributable to the fair value of warrants and a net loss in market value of $23,956 on the convertible notes. The gain of $37,156 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of a loss of $238,821 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 $109,685 attributable to the fair value of warrants and a net gain in market value of $163,499 on the convertible notes.

 

The following presents the derivative liability value by instrument type at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively:

 

    June 30, 2016     December 31, 2015  
Convertible debentures   $ 671,395     $ 1,038,225  
Common stock warrants     26,316       279  
    $ 697,711     $ 1,038,504  

 

The following is a summary of changes in the fair market value of the derivative liability during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively:

 

    Derivative  
    Liability

Balance, December 31, 2014   $ 1,417,187

The monthly trading volume would reflect historical averages 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 1% to a maximum of 10%.

Note 16 – Income Taxes

 

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

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 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 June 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $21,435,000 of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2025.

 

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

 

    June 30, 2016     December 31, 2015  
Deferred tax assets:                
Net operating loss carry forwards   $ 7,502,250     $ 7,203,700  
                 
Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance     7,502,250       7,203,700  
Less: Valuation allowance     (7,502,250 )     (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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 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:

 

    June 30, 2016     December 31, 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 17 – Non-Controlling Interest

 

Non-controlling interest originally represented 17% interest in the subsidiary held amongst eleven individuals, of whom the Company’s CEO, Mark Bradley and the Company’s President of Programming, Michael Berk own 3% and 1%, respectively, through December 8, 2014. 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 $15,353 and $10,221 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

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

 

Overview and Outlook

 

Players Network is a vertically integrated diversified, fully reporting public 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. The Company has launched its proprietary scalable NexGenTV technology platform. The platform is designed to deliver video content and develop digital social communities, including “Vegas On Demand TV”, “Real Vegas TV” and “Weed TV” on the media side of the business.

 

NexGenTV, our scalable Digital Technology Platform, allows Players Network to distribute content for brands, businesses and celebrities, and provide them with an unlimited amount of lifestyle category content and the tools to launch their own “Branded Channel, Social Community and Marketplace Destination”. NexGenTV’s scalability can create hundreds of niche digital networks that can be viewed worldwide on any smart TV, computer, tablet or mobile device by millions of people simultaneously. The Platform allows advertisers and marketing partners the ability to capture their target market through rich content such as professionally produced, branded television segments; user-generated videos; blogs; editorials; tweets; photos; special offers; events and custom-designed contests.

 

Our business model incorporates elements of traditional proven media features, such as advertising and transactional delivery methods, but also offers professional production, marketing and distribution services to build and monetize its branded channel destination, in which we expect to retain a continuous revenue stream with our partners. Channel partners have the option to manage their own Branded New Media Channel, or use our professional services team of television producers, writers, graphic designers and technologists to keep their channel updated, and their content fresh and relevant.

 

Vegas On Demand TV, Real Vegas TV and Weed TV are the Company’s first three channel offerings that provide their audience the ability to connect to industry insiders and businesses through unique, high-quality marketing, content production and content management system. In the Las Vegas market, Vegas On Demand captures the excitement, sex appeal, entertainment, and the non-stop adrenaline rush of the Las Vegas gaming lifestyle. Our content goes beyond poker, casino action, sports betting, and racing, to lifestyle programs about entertainment and fine living that attract young and sophisticated viewers that comprise the major digital media demographic. Whenever possible, our content will incorporate an expert, insider or celebrity within the Vegas community in order to enhance promotional merchandising to prospective customers.

 

Weed TV launched on April 20, 2014, and was the Company’s third network to be launched. Weed TV is a Lifestyle Channel Destination powered by PNTV’s NextGenTV(SM) enterprise platform. Weed TV is the ‘go to’ source for informational entertainment, products and services for people who relate to the marijuana lifestyle and social community. Weed TV will feature daily stories sourced by weedtv.com correspondents and contributors from around the world. It will provide a wide variety of editorial content, videos and entertainment, including lead stories, political news, business news on the industry, financial analysis from industry experts, growing tips, cooking tips, a “Weed101” section, medical uses, lifestyle features, entertainment specials and merchandise shopping cart offering the latest products and services. www.weedtv.com

 

We plan for Weed TV to have other features by the end of 2016 and adapt new technology that the other networks don’t have, including a directory of businesses that cater to the marijuana business, such as dispensaries, smoke shops, doctors, financial institutions, manufactures and more. These businesses will have a free basic listing and the ability to upgrade for an extra fee of approximately $500 per month, where they can build their own media channel using the ‘NextGenTV” Platform. We estimate this market is in excess of approximately 70,000 businesses and will continue to grow as more states legalize MME businesses. Our goal in 2016 is to begin to capture this market that will translate to significant revenues even if we only convert a small amount of this market into marketing partners who use our platform.

 

We plan to use both, Weed TV’s platform and original branded programming and events, as a means to develop additional revenue streams, in addition to providing marketing and membership benefits of our social media platform. These revenue streams include branded entertainment, sponsorships for events, media placement, third party commissions for video and banner advertisements, merchandise and production sales and services.

 

We have addressed the digital market in an effort to grow as a New Media Company using “Vegas On Demand” and Real Vegas TV, our flagship branded television channel, and to use our scalable custom enterprise web platform, which can also be replicated to launch thousands of channel destinations in any lifestyle category for any lifestyle brand.

 

28
 

 

Our enterprise platform is highly scalable and can efficiently deploy, manage and distribute videos with integrated revenue-generating tools that go beyond traditional advertising. On our platform, the viewer of a video is brought into a web environment encompassing the lifestyle represented within the video content where they are presented with membership, merchandising, couponing, subscription, loyalty programs, contest and other marketing opportunities, including the integration of live events. The platform also integrates branded sponsorships, and a game-like virtual economy supported by our Cost Per Action (“CPA”) advertising network.

 

Our next-generation media network operates across all distribution platforms from TV screens to mobile devices, gaming consoles, computers and tablets. We have positioned ourselves to provide companies an affordable, turnkey, integrated solution. We have not yet generated revenues from our Platform, but plan to market our services to companies in 2016.

 

Through the cross-promotional integration of sponsored live events, contests and media creation and distribution, our Platform can deliver a targeted audience that can be monetized in multiple ways. The platform is an engine that grows as audience and page views increase. The platform also provides a self-perpetuating aggregation juncture where Las Vegas businesses and “insiders” can connect socially with their audience/customer.

 

The ability to monetize video in so many ways, coupled with an efficient, easy-to-use technical and administrative back-end dashboard is a powerful feature of our platform. It allows the creation of unlimited, new channel destinations using our scalable content management system (“CMS”) framework, with cost-competitive operations. Importantly, it enables administrative and editorial level employees to manage content without the expense of having a full-time technical engineering staff in-house.

 

Premium members must be industry insiders and/or experts in their lifestyle category. For example, with regard to Vegas On Demand, insiders are designed to be the who’s-who of Vegas: entertainers, nightclub promoters, casino hosts, famous chefs, etc. who offer our members deals on transactions connected to their sphere of influence. Deals may include being invited to a special VIP event, line passes, two-for-one offers, pay-per-view video discounts, etc.

Common Stock Sales

 

On March 2, 2016, the Company sold 14,000,000 shares of its common stock to an accredited investor in exchange for proceeds of $61,600.

 

On February 1, 2016, the Company sold 15,000,000 shares of its common stock to an accredited investor in exchange for proceeds of $63,000.

 

We have utilized these funds to repay approximately $143,002 of previously issued convertible debentures, comply with our regulatory reporting requirements, and to fund our subsidiary’s medical marijuana business. Although our revenues are expected to grow as we expand our operations, our revenues are not expected to exceed our investment and operating costs in the next twelve months, and we do not have funds sufficient to fund our operations at their current level for the next twelve months. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of operations. To address these risks, we must, among other things, seek growth opportunities through investment and acquisitions in our industry, effectively monitor and manage our claims for payments that are owed to us, implement and successfully execute our business strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We cannot assure that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

To conserve on the Company’s capital requirements, the Company has issued shares in lieu of cash payments to outside consultants, and the Company expects to continue this practice. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company granted a total of 6,250,000 shares of preferred stock valued at $192,000 in lieu of cash payments to our CEO, compared to the issuance of 13,700,000 shares of common stock valued at an aggregate of $206,640 in lieu of cash payments to employees and outside consultants during the six months ended June 30, 2015. 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 2016.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we issued a total of 24,703,302 shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of $140,321 of indebtedness on convertible debentures. As of August 16, 2016, we had ten convertible notes outstanding with a cumulative outstanding principal balance of $431,450. Repayment of the notes must be done at a premium to the then-outstanding balance, resulting in the need for approximately $545,000 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 $0.0025 per share is as follows:

 

    100%   75%   50%   25%
    $0.0025   $0.0019   $0.00125   $0.0006
                 
Potential dilutive shares   172,580,000   230,106,667   345,160,000   690,320,000

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2016, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Going Concern

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

    State of       Abbreviated
Name of Entity (2)   Incorporation   Relationship   Reference
Players Network (1)   Nevada   Parent   PNTV
Green Leaf Farms Holdings, Inc. (2)   Nevada   Subsidiary   GLFH
Green Leaf Medical, LLC (3) (4)   Nevada   Subsidiary   GLML

 

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

(2) Majority-owned subsidiary formed on July 8, 2014, in which PNTV holds 84.4% ownership, with the remaining 15.6% held by key experts and advisors as of June 30, 2016.

(3) Wholly-Owned subsidiary of GLFH formed for prospective purposes, but has not incurred any income or expenses to date.

(4) Entity formed for prospective purposes, but has not incurred any income or expenses to date.

 

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 subsidiaries, GLFH and GLML 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation as of June 30, 2016, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who are one and the same, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a–15(f) and 15d–15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

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

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

In the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to lawsuits and other claims and proceedings that might arise from litigation matters or regulatory audits. Such matters are subject to uncertainty and outcomes are often not predictable with assurance. Our management does not presently expect that such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. We are not currently involved in any pending or threatened material litigation or other material legal proceedings, nor have we been made aware of any penalties from regulatory audits, except as we have previously disclosed, or may in the future disclose.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

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

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

The following sales of equity securities by the Company occurred during the three month period ended June 30, 2016:

 

Common Stock Issuances for Debt Conversions

 

On June 15, 2016, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of $9,100 of outstanding principal on the First Collier Note.

 

On April 8, 2016, the Company issued 2,777,778 shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of $5,000 of outstanding principal on the First Tangiers Note.

 

The foregoing securities issued upon conversion of the Notes are restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The issuances of the Notes were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The purchasers were accredited and sophisticated investors, familiar with our operations, and there was no solicitation.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

On October 24, 2014, a note holder submitted a conversion request to convert $10,000 of principal on the Second LG Note, which was inconsistent with the conversion terms as stated in the convertible promissory note. The Company requested that the conversion notice be corrected and resubmitted, at which time the note holder contended the conversion terms were intended to be based on 55% of the lowest closing bid price over the preceding twelve trading days, as opposed to the stated 55% of the average of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock over the preceding twelve trading days. On October 31, 2014, the note holder sent demand for repayment on the Second LG Note, consisting of $35,000 of principal and $5,414 of accrued interest outstanding as of June 30, 2016. As a result, we are in default on this convertible promissory note. The note carries an 18% default interest rate and a penalty of $250 per day that the shares are not issued, beginning on the 4th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company. This penalty increased to $500 per day beginning on the 10th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company.

$30,000 PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Players Network, a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”) promises to pay to Steve Howard (the “Lender”) the Principal Sum along with the Interest Rate and any other fees according to the terms herein. This Note will become effective only upon execution by both parties and delivery of the first payment of Consideration by the Lender (the “Effective Date”).

 

The Principal Sum is $30,000 (Thirty thousand) plus accrued and unpaid interest and any other fees. The Consideration is $30,000 (Thirty Thousand) payable by wire The Lender may pay additional Consideration to the Borrower in such amounts and at such dates as Lender may choose in its sole discretion.

 

The Maturity Date is one year from the Effective Date of each payment (the “Maturity Date”) and is the date upon which the Principal Sum of this Note, as well as any unpaid interest and other fees, shall be due and payable. The Conversion Price is a 22% discount or 78% of the average 10-day market price prior to the conversion, plus 8% accrued interest on a annual accrual.

 

1. Conversion . The Lender has the right, at any time after the Maturity Date, at its election, but within 18 months from the issuance date to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid Principal Sum and accrued interest (and any other fees) into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Borrower as per this conversion formula: Number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the dollar conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price. Conversions may be delivered to Borrower by method of Lender’s choice (including but not limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from the Lender. If no objection is delivered from Borrower to Lender regarding any variable or calculation of the conversion notice within 48 hours of delivery of the conversion notice, the Borrower shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such notice of conversion and waived any objection thereto. The Borrower shall deliver the shares from any conversion to Lender (in any name directed by Lender) within 5 (five) business days of conversion notice delivery. If the Lender does not convert within 18 months the Borrower has the right to convert the outstanding principle and interest to common stock as per the Conversion Price,

 

3. Conversion Delays . If Borrower fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 2, Lender, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Borrower (under Lender’s and Borrower’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the original date of the Note). In addition, for each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $200 per day will be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery is made; and such penalty will be added to the Principal Sum of the Note (under Lender’s and Borrower’s expectations that any penalty amounts will tack back to the original date of the Note).

 

4. Reservation of Shares . At all times during which this Note is convertible, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note.

 

5. Default . The following are events of default under this Note: (i) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal under the Note when due and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (ii) the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest or any other amount under the Note when due and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (iii) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over the Borrower or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; or (iv) the Borrower shall become insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; or (v) the Borrower shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (vi) the Borrower shall file a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); or (vii) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or filed against the Borrower; or (viii) the Borrower shall lose its status as “DTC Eligible” or the borrower’s shareholders shall lose the ability to deposit (either electronically or by physical certificates, or otherwise) shares into the DTC System; or (ix) the Borrower shall become delinquent in its filing requirements as a fully-reporting issuer registered with the SEC.

 

     
 

 

8. Remedies . In the event of any default, the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages, fees and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Lender’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. The Mandatory Default Amount means the greater of (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages, fees and other amounts hereon, divided by the Conversion Price on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either demanded or paid in full, whichever has a lower Conversion Price

 

9. No Shorting . Lender agrees that so long as this Note from Borrower to Lender remains outstanding, Lender will not enter into or effect “short sales” of the Common Stock or hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common Stock of Borrower. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that upon delivery of a conversion notice by Lender, Lender immediately owns the shares of Common Stock described in the conversion notice and any sale of those shares issuable under such conversion notice would not be considered short sales.

 

10. Assignability . The Borrower may not assign this Note. This Note will be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and will inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns and may be assigned by the Lender to anyone of its choosing without Borrower’s approval.

 

11. Governing Law . This Note will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of Nevada or in the federal courts located in Clark County, in the State of Nevada. Both parties and the individuals signing this Agreement agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.

 

12. Delivery of Process by Lender to Borrower . In the event of any action or proceeding by Lender against Borrower, and only by Lender against Borrower, service of copies of summons and/or complaint and/or any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding may be made by Lender via U.S. Mail, overnight delivery service such as FedEx or UPS, email, fax, or process server, or by mailing or otherwise delivering a copy of such process to the Borrower at its last known attorney as set forth in its most recent SEC filing.

 

13. Attorney Fees . In the event any attorney is employed by either party to this Note with regard to any legal or equitable action, arbitration or other proceeding brought by such party for the enforcement of this Note or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Note, the prevailing party in such proceeding will be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled.

 

14. Opinion of Counsel . In the event that an opinion of counsel is needed for any matter related to this Note, Lender has the right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel. Lender also has the right to have any such opinion provided by Borrower’s counsel.
