                               THE PLAYERS NETWORK
                          NOTES TO 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-SB for the year ended December 31, 1999.

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 six months ended June 30, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year ending
December 31, 2000.


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 has developed a web site for the purpose of selling
primarily gaming supplies and travel-related services over the Internet. This
web site became operational during January 2000 and generated advertising
revenues of approximately $76,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000.

The Company filed a 15c2-11 with the National Association of Securities Dealers,
which became effective on March 30, 1998 and received the stock-trading symbol
PNTV. The Company's common stock is listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin
Board.

Capitalized video production costs:
Capitalized video production costs which are expected to benefit future periods
are capitalized as incurred. The individual film forecast method is used to
amortize these costs. Under this method, costs accumulated in the production of
a video are amortized in the proportion that gross realized revenues bear to
management's estimate of total gross revenues. Amortization expense of
approximately $115,000 and $97,000 was charged to operations for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Accumulated amortization was
approximately $420,000 and $182,000 at June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

                          NOTES TO 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 Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for Software Developed
for Internal Use," 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 June 30, 2000
were $260,615. These costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a
period of three years. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30,
2000 was $30,850.

Long-lived assets:
The Company makes reviews for the potential impairment of long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles, such as capitalized video production costs and
capitalized web site development costs, 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 six months ended June 30, 2000.

Income taxes:
The Company applies the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance has been
established until realization of deferred tax assets is reasonably assured.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled.

Basic and diluted loss per share:
The basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per
share is the same as basic loss per share because the assumed exercise of
potential common stock would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Barter transactions:
The Company accounts for barter transactions in accordance with EITF 99-17,
"Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions", which requires the recognition
of revenue and expense only if the fair value of the advertising or services
provided is determinable based on the Company's experience in receiving cash or
other consideration readily convertible to cash. The Company also accounts for
barter transactions in accordance with EITF 93-11, "Accounting for Barter
Transaction Involving Barter Credits", and APB No. 29, "Accounting for
Nonmonetary Transactions", which require that the fair value of the nonmonetary
asset exchanged be used in recording the nonmonetary transactions.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Revenue recognition:
Network revenue, which consists of subscription and licensing revenues, is
recognized when subscription agreements are signed and equipment is installed.
Advertising revenue is recognized when advertisements are aired. Production and
other revenues consist of video production, stage rental and other
production-related revenues. Video production revenue is recognized when video
production is completed and accepted by the customer. The stage rental and other
production revenue is recognized when the stage rental period has expired.

Advertising costs:
The Company's policy is to expense advertising costs as a period expense.
Advertising costs of $130,700 and $15,600 were charged to operations during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Stock-based compensation:
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (SFAS
123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". In accordance with SFAS 123,
the Company records stock-based compensation for stock instruments issued to
nonemployees in exchange for goods or services based on the fair value of goods
and services received or the fair value of stock instruments surrendered. The
Company measures compensation expense for its stock-based employee compensation
plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees".

Segment reporting:
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No. 131). This statement establishes
standards for the reporting of information about operating segments in annual
and interim financial statements and requires restatement of prior year
information. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for
which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by
the chief operating decision maker(s) in deciding how to allocate resources and
in assessing performance. SFAS No. 131 also requires disclosures about products
and services, geographic areas and major customers. The adoption of SFAS No. 131
did not affect results of operations or financial position but did affect the
disclosure of segment information, as presented in Note 11.

New accounting pronouncement:
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities",
was issued in June 1998 and was subsequently amended by SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 133 addresses the accounting
for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and hedging activities. Adoption of these pronouncements is
required for the period beginning on July 1, 2000. The Company does not expect
these pronouncements to have a material impact on the results of its operations.

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

OVERVIEW

         The Company provides television programming and produces videos related
to gaming instruction and information to hotel casinos in Nevada, Iowa,
Louisiana and Mississippi on a private cable channel known as "PLAYERS NETWORK".
The Company also has an independent working sound stage in Las Vegas on which it
produces videos. It also rents this facility to various production companies.

         The Company has three types of revenues. Network revenue, which
consists of subscription and licensing revenues, is recognized when subscription
agreements are signed and equipment is installed. The Company recognizes its
license revenue when the "Affiliate Agreement" is signed and equipment is
installed in the hotel premise. All license fees are non-refundable. Advertising
revenue is recognized when advertisements are aired. Production and other
revenues consist of video production, stage rentals and other production-related
revenues. Video production revenue is recognized when video production is
completed and accepted by the customer. The stage rental and other production
revenue is recognized when the stage rental period has expired.

         In June 1999, the Company decided to pursue opportunities available on
the internet. Through June 30, 2000, the Company capitalized web site
development costs of approximately $229,765 which is net of amortization.

         The web site "PlayersNetwork.com", which is operational and is
continually being expanded and upgraded, 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 900 item catalogue
of gaming items including "How to Play" books and tapes, playing cards, casino
quality gaming chips, casino game table tops, and actual casino tables and slot
machines purchased off the floor of Las Vegas' casinos.

         The web site also provides information on almost every casino/gaming
site worldwide and "City Guides" to virtually every location where casinos are
located. 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 24-hour digital web broadcaster
featuring live and previously recorded content.

         The Company had accumulated operating deficits of $4,587,739 and
$3,124,881 as of June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. However, the Company had
stockholders' equity of $1,365,454 and $496,657 as of June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.



<PAGE>

         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 to incur 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.

         The Company saves a significant amount of cash by offering a
combination of cash and common stock and/or stock options to vendors and outside
consultants for services and asset acquisitions. The Company issued $481,870 and
$159,728 in stock and options for this purpose for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively.

         As part of the Company's internet e-commerce, the Company expects to
enter into many barter arrangements. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the
Company recorded certain barter transactions in accordance with EITF 99-17,
"Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions", which consisted of
approximately $271,000 in barter revenue, $100,400 in advertising expenses, and
$17,000 in travel expenses.

         Although the Company has experienced revenue growth since implementing
its Internet e-commerce business, continued revenue growth 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's principal source of operating capital has been provided
by private sales of the Company's common stock, stockholders loans and equipment
financing arrangements, as well as revenues from the operations. At June 30,
2000, the Company had working capital deficiency of $309,274. However, $194,120
of current liabilities are to be paid in common stock and $80,700 are future
obligations on the Company's website and in room television network. During the
six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company supplemented its working capital by
receiving cash of $335,453 from the private sale of 911,975 shares of its common
stock.

         The Company anticipates capital expenditures in excess of $1,000,000
for its operations 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 will 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.

         As the Company pursues its internet e-commerce strategy, it expects to
increase the number of full time employees. In the fourth quarter of 1999, the
Company added three employees raising the total to six. In the first quarter of
2000, two employees were hired raising the total to eight. Thereafter, in July
2000, Players Network reduced its staff to seven full-time employees.

         During the six months ended June 30, 2000, an officer converted
$160,397 of loans into 542,634 restricted common shares compared to the six
months ended June 30, 1999 where there was no conversion of loans.

RECENT EVENTS

         In March 2000, the Company signed a video production agreement with a
major casino hotel chain for approximately $50,000, which was completed in the
second quarter of 2000.

         With existing subscription and video production agreements in hand, the
company should experience nearly 100% revenue growth for the year 2000.

         In June 2000, the Company named Michael Berk to the Board of Directors.
Michael Berk is the co-creator and executive producer of the syndicated
television show "Baywatch".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

         Revenues increased 195% from $185,166 for the six months ended June
30,1999 to $546,116 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. For the six months
ended June 30, 2000, the Company had $153,270 in Network Revenue, $75,775 in
Advertising Revenue and $317,071 in Production and Other Revenue compared to
$117,588 in Network Revenue, $22,349 in Advertising Revenue and $45,229 in
Production and Other Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The Company
recorded approximately $277,000 in revenues from bartering production services
and advertising spots in exchange for magazine advertising.

         Operating Expenses increased 230% from $263,423 for the six months
ended June 30,1999 to $868,168 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The
increase in operating expenses was mainly due to increases in consulting
expenses from $53,245 to $302,903; advertising expense from $1,008 to $100,356;
payroll expenses from $80,258 to $158,804; and legal and accounting expenses
from $9,783 to $158,804 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. Certain expenses, primarily
consulting and production costs, were paid with common stock of $132,738 and
$123,153 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 2000, respectively.

         Stock-based compensation charged to operations was $471,169 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $88,035 for the six months ended June 30,
1999. Stock-based compensation consists of warrants and options issued to
outside service providers in lieu of cash. For the six months ended June 30,
2000, the Company capitalized $145,671 in video production costs. There was none
capitalized for six months ended June 30, 1999.

         Depreciation and amortization increased 4% from $166,770 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 to $172,018 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
This was due to a change in the estimated useful life of the capitalized video
production costs from 10 years to 5.

         Interest expense decreased 56% from $26,352 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 to $11,713 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 due to the
conversion of $473,090 of shareholder loans to common stock at various times
from May 1999 to June 30, 2000.
