                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. The condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000.

The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein reflect, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily only of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results for the interim
periods. The results of operations for the nine months and three months ended
September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for
the entire year ending December 31, 2001.


2. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Players Network (the "Company") was organized under the laws of the State of
Nevada on March 16, 1993. The Company is engaged in the development and
marketing of a customized, interactive, full-service gaming television network.
In addition, the Company is operating a web site for the purpose of selling
primarily gaming supplies and travel-related services over the Internet.

Capitalized video production costs:
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company has adopted Statement of Position (SOP)
00-2, "Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films." Production revenue is
recognized when video production is complete and the video has been delivered to
the customer. Network revenue, which includes nonrefundable fees paid in
advance, is recognized over the contractual period during which the customer
receives access to programming. Video production costs expected to benefit
future periods are capitalized as incurred and amortized using the individual
film forecast computation method. This method requires the amortization of costs
in the same ratio that current period actual revenue bears to estimated
remaining unrecognized ultimate revenue as of the beginning of the current
fiscal year. Amortization expense of approximately $254,000 and $186,000 was
charged to cost of production revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively. Accumulated amortization was approximately $818,000
and $490,000 at September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company makes
reviews for the potential impairment of capitalized video production costs if
unamortized video production costs exceed the fair value, which is determined by
estimating future discounted cash flows related to the video. There were no
impairment losses recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The
adoption of SOP 00-2 had no effect on the Company's 2001 financial statements.

                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Capitalized web site development costs:
The Company has capitalized certain costs associated with the development of its
e-commerce web site, PLAYERSNETWORK.COM. The Company follows the guidance
promulgated by EITF - 002, "Accounting for Web Site Development Costs", which
requires that all costs incurred to establish technological feasibility should
be expensed as incurred. After technological feasibility was established,
development costs are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life.
Total costs capitalized through September 30, 2001 were $266,565. These costs
will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three years.
Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $65,488.

Long-lived assets:
The Company makes reviews for the potential impairment of long-lived assets and
capitalized web site development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-lived Assets To Be Disposed Of", which requires a review for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be
recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of
the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. There
were no impairment losses recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the periods. Stock warrants and options have been excluded
from the diluted loss per share and have not been presented for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 and three months ended September 30, 2000
because their effect would have been antidilutive. The effect of stock options
and warrants on earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2001
is not material.


3. NOTES PAYABLE, STOCKHOLDERS

At September 30, 2001, notes payable, stockholders of $88,539 were due on demand
with interest rates ranging from 10% to 13% per year. The notes are convertible
into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $.25 per share.
Shareholder notes interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
was $5,256.

4. COMMITMENT

On September 22, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with Action Gaming,
Inc. ("Action") whereby the Company agrees to provide services, such as
sponsorship at the World Gaming Expo, where Action will service a booth for
filming and advertising of the "Action Gaming" and "Videopoker" names. The
Company created a short film used at Skytron at an estimated cost of $12,000.
Action, at its discretion, can purchase common stock of the Company in an
aggregate of $2,225,000 at prices specified in the agreement commencing October
15, 2000 over a period of 18 months. Action had purchased 717,948 shares for
$350,000 since the inception of the agreement, of which 200,000 were issued for
$100,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

On May 1, 2001, the Company signed an agreement with a casino hotel chain to
supply the Company's in-room cable channel for seven of its hotels. In addition,
the agreement calls for syndicating the Company's video for its corporate web
site, creating customized production and content for its in-room cable channel.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATION


Overview
--------

         The Company provides television programming and produces videos related
to gaming instruction and information for hotel casinos on a private cable
channel known as "PLAYERS NETWORK." The Company also has a working sound stage
in Las Vegas which it uses for video production and also rents to various
production companies.

         Since September 1999, the Company has pursued an Internet and broadband
strategy. The web site "PLAYERSNETWORK.COM" provides consumers with gaming "How
to Play" information in print form and video from the Company's existing library
of instructional gaming videos. Through "PLAYERSNETWORK.COM", the Company
provides visitors with gaming supplies at The Players General Store, a catalogue
of gaming items including "How to Play" books and tapes, playing cards, casino
quality gaming chips, casino game table tops, casino tables and slot machines.

         The web site also provides information on almost every casino/gaming
site worldwide. In addition, the site provides financial reports on casino and
gaming company stocks. Through "PLAYERSNETWORK.COM", the Company provides
travel, tour, show ticket, and golf time reservation services.

         The Company is establishing itself as a digital web broadcaster
featuring live and previously recorded content.

         The Company had accumulated operating deficits of $5,672,530 and
$4,908,700 as of September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. However, the Company
had stockholders' equity of $1,109,298 and $1,312,219 as of September 30, 2001
and 2000, respectively.

         The Company expects operating losses and negative operating cash flows
to continue for at least the next twelve months. It anticipates losses to
continue because it expects additional costs and expenses related to brand
development; marketing and other promotional activities; hiring of management,
sales and other personnel; the expansion of infrastructure and customer support
services; strategic relationship development; and potential acquisitions of
related complementary businesses.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

         The Company's principal source of operating capital has been provided
by private sales of the Company's common stock, stockholder loan and equipment
financing arrangements, as well as revenues from operations. At September 30,
2001, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $314,000.
However, current liabilities include $50,000 of future barter obligations on the
Company's web site and initial fees in connection with the in-room television
network, $67,500 of monies due officers and directors, and $88,500 of
convertible shareholder notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001,

                                       9

<PAGE>

the Company supplemented its working capital by receiving cash of $100,000 from
the private sale of 200,000 shares of its Common Stock.

         In earlier periods, the Company had issued a combination of cash and
common stock and/or stock options in lieu of cash to vendors, outside
consultants for services, asset acquisitions and payment of debts. The Board of
Directors has asked the Company to reduce its reliance on the issuance of
securities for this purpose. The Company issued $29,000 in stock and options for
this purpose for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $621,000
in the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

         During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, an officer converted
$160,397 of loans into 542,634 restricted common shares. No such loans were
converted during the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

         As part of the Company's media business, the Company expects to
continue to enter into some barter arrangements. As a result of these
transactions, the Company recognized approximately $43,000 and $296,000 in
barter revenue, $22,000 and $124,000 in advertising expenses, and $4,900 and
$27,000 in travel expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and
2000, respectively.

         Although the Company has experienced growth in revenue where cash is to
be received, this may not be indicative of future operating results and there
can be no assurance that it will achieve or maintain profitability. Due to these
factors, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results
of operations are not necessarily a good indication of future performance. The
results of operations in some future periods may be below the expectations of
analysts and investors.

         The Company anticipates capital expenditures of less than $200,000 for
its operation of PLAYERSNETWORK.COM, web broadcasting activities and video
production during the next twelve months. The Company believes that the current
cash flows generated from its revenues may not be sufficient to fund its
anticipated operations. The Company will require additional funding to finance
its operations through private sales and public debt or equity offerings.
However, there is no assurance that such financing can be obtained by the
Company.

         In the first quarter of 2000, two employees were hired, raising the
total to eight. At September 30, 2001, the Company had five full-time employees.


Recent Events
-------------

         In January 2001, the Company organized itself along five lines of
revenue: Paid Production Service; In-Room Television Network and Video
Syndication; Broadband and Interactive Television; Webcasting; and Stage Rental.

         In February 2001, the Company signed an agreement with British
Telecommunications PLC ("BT"), located in the United Kingdom ("UK"), to provide
gaming-centric and gaming-rich media content to BT for use with its Internet
access product and services such as narrowband, broadband and wireless services.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will develop and produce a UK
version of PLAYERSNETWORK.COM, offering BT "openworld" subscribers high-speed,

                                       10

<PAGE>

broadband access to the Company's gaming-related content. BT "openworld" and BT
"Internet" combined currently serve over 1.2 million subscribers in the UK.

         In May 2001, the Company signed a two-year agreement with a casino
hotel chain. The agreement calls for the Company to install its private cable
channel in seven hotels, the production of customized video, syndicating
selected videos for the customer's corporate website, the webcasting of live
events from the customer's casinos and customizing content for the customer's
in-casino plasma screens. The contract is worth approximately $750,000 over 24
months, commencing May 1, 2001.

         In July 2001, The Players Network - BT Openworld Channel became
operational.

         With existing business and new agreements in hand, the Company should
exceed the revenue of the prior year. Furthermore, the Company anticipates being
near the operating cash flow break-even point upon full implementation of the
new casino hotel agreement.


Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 and 2000
---------------------------------------------------------------------

         Revenues decreased 10% from approximately $690,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 to $624,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company had
approximately $198,000 in Network Revenue, $36,000 in Advertising Revenue and
$390,000 in Production and Other Revenue, compared to approximately $196,000 in
Network Revenue, $93,000 in Advertising Revenue and $401,000 in Production and
Other Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Revenues from
bartering production services and advertising spots in exchange for magazine
travel expenses decreased from approximately $296,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 to $43,000 during the nine months ended September 30,
2001.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 49% from
approximately $1,212,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to
$615,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in selling,
general and administrative expenses was due to decreases in consulting expenses
from approximately $408,000 to $22,000; advertising expense from $140,000 to
$32,000; and legal and accounting expenses from $180,000 to $101,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. Certain expenses, primarily consulting, were paid with
common stock of $132,000 and $3,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
and 2001, respectively.

         Stock-based compensation charged to operations was approximately
$26,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $472,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Stock-based compensation consists of
warrants and options issued to outside service providers in lieu of cash. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001, the Company capitalized
approximately $168,000 and $-0- in video production costs, respectively.

         Depreciation and amortization increased 32% from approximately $284,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $374,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001. This was due to an increase in amortization of
capitalized video production during the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

                                       11

<PAGE>

         Interest expense increased 10% from approximately $21,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 to $23,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2001, due to an increase in the amount of shareholder loans during the nine
months ended September 30, 2001.


Inflation
---------

         In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect
on the operations of the Company.
