Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)


Note 1 – Basis of Presentation


The interim condensed financial statements 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. 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 financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2011 and notes thereto included in the Company's 10-K annual report. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.


Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.


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. The Company had no other items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.


Cost Method of Accounting for Investments

Investee companies not accounted for under the consolidation or the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under this method, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of such Investee companies is not included in the Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations. However, impairment charges are recognized in the Statement of Operations. If circumstances suggest that the value of the Investee Company has subsequently recovered, such recovery is not recorded. Impairment analysis on our investments which are accounted for on the cost method of accounting resulted in complete impairment at December 31, 2011.

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, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

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.

Deferred Television Costs

Deferred television costs as of June 30, 2011, 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 has not recognized revenues from the creation of these pilot episodes yet. Accordingly, no production costs have been expensed as of June 30, 2012.

 

Deferred television costs consist of the following at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

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.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. This update defers the requirement to present items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income in both the statement of income where net income is presented and the statement where other comprehensive income is presented. The adoption of ASU 2011-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Note 2 – 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 does not have any financial instruments 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, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

In accordance with ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Company recorded a discount of $58,000 and $-0- for the variable conversion feature of the February 7, 2012 convertible debt during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and year ended December 31, 2011, respectively. The discount will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the debentures using the effective interest method. The Company recorded $6,258 and $-0- of interest expense pursuant to the amortization of the note discounts during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.


The convertible debenture carries default provisions that place a “maximum share amount” on the note holders. The maximum share amount that can be owned as a result of the conversions to common stock by the note holders is 4.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.


In accordance with ASC 815-15, the Company determined that the variable conversion feature and shares to be issued represented embedded derivative features, and these are shown as derivative liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company calculated the fair value of the compound embedded derivatives associated with the convertible debentures utilizing a lattice model.


The Company recorded interest expense in the amount of $507 and $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively related to convertible debt.

Note 9 – Derivative Liabilities

 

As discussed in Note 7 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 note is 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 recorded current derivative liabilities of $252,940 and $-0- at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities resulted in a loss of $194,940 and $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which has been reported as other income (expense) in the condensed statements of operations.

Key inputs and assumptions used to value the convertible debentures and warrants issued during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011:

·

Stock prices on all measurement dates were based on the fair market value and would fluctuate with projected volatility.

·

The warrant exercise prices ranged from $0.15 to $1.00, exercisable over 2 to 3 year periods from the grant date.

·

The holders of the securities would convert monthly to the ownership limit starting at 4.99% increasing by 10% per month.

·

The holders would automatically convert the note at the maximum of 3 times the conversion price if the Company was not in default.

·

The monthly trading volume would reflect historical averages and would increase at 1% per month.

·

The Company would redeem the notes based on availability of alternative financing, increasing 2% monthly to a maximum of 10%.

·

The holder would automatically convert the note at maturity if the registration was effective and the Company was not in default.

·

The computed volatility was projected based on historical volatility.

Note 12 – 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, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, 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, 2012, the Company had approximately $13,456,000 of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2025.

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, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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:

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


Overview and Outlook


Players Network was incorporated in the State of Nevada in March of 1993. Players Network is a global media and entertainment company engaged in the development of Digital Networks. We distribute broadband video and other social media content over a wide variety of internet enabled devices and cable television channels. Due to recent capital infusions and an expanded management team, the Company has been able to complete the first phase of development and launch its proprietary scalable technology platform. The platform is designed to deliver video content and develop digital social communities, including “Vegas On Demand TV”, which is our first digital branded network that was in development during 2011. We launched our beta version on October 7, 2011.


The Company operates a Video On Demand (“VOD”) television channel, also named Vegas On Demand, which consists of original programming that is distributed over its own VOD channels to approximately 24,000,000 homes over the internet with distribution partners that include, Comcast, Hulu, Blinkx, Google, YouTube and Yahoo Video, for DVD home video, and various mobile platforms. Players Network has a fourteen year history of providing consumers with quality ‘Gaming and Las Vegas Lifestyle’ video content.


Vegas On Demand TV offers its audience the ability to connect to Vegas Insiders through unique, high-quality programming that captures the excitement, sex appeal, entertainment, and the non-stop adrenaline rush of the Las Vegas gaming lifestyle. Players Network’s 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 incorporates an expert, insider or celebrity within the Vegas community in order to enhance promotional merchandising to prospective customers.


The Company plans to use both its platform and original branded programming and events as a means to develop additional revenue streams, as well as marketing and membership benefits of our social media platform. These revenue streams include branded entertainment, sponsorships for events, and media placement, third party commissions for video and banner advertisements, merchandise and production sales and services.

 

Players Network has addressed the digital market in an effort to grow as a New Media Company using “Vegas On Demand”, its flagship Branded Television Channel Destination, it use its scalable, custom Enterprise Web Platform to host “Vegas On Demand”, which can also be replicated to launch thousands of Channel Destinations in any Lifestyle Category, for any Lifestyle Brand.


PNTV’s Enterprise Platform efficiently deploys, manages and distributes 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 that video’s lifestyle, 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 Advertising network.


PNTV’s 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 with an affordable, turnkey, integrated solution that creates bookable revenue while generating net profits. We have not yet generated revenues from our Platform, but plan to market our services to companies in 2012 that can make their initial investment using a small portion of their existing marketing budget.

By providing companies and Lifestyle Brands with their own Channel Destination on our Enterprise Web Platform and offering our Media and Production expertise, we plan to provide an integrated Media, Marketing and Merchandising solution that aims to save our customers significant time and money that would need to be incurred to replicate equivalent services.


We have also leveraged our existing library of original content, and distribution network, to build this infrastructure hub and launch our initial digital Lifestyle Network: “VegasOnDemand.tv”.


Through the cross-promotional integration of Sponsored Live Events, Contests and Media creation and distribution, PNTV’s Platform can deliver a targeted audience that can be monetized in multiple ways. The Platform is a Revenue 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 and generate shared revenues.


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 PNTV’s Platform. It allows the creation of unlimited, new Channel Destinations using our scalable Content Management System (“CMS”) framework, with cost-competitive operations. Importantly, it allows Content Management by administrative and editorial level employees without the expense of having a full-time technical engineering staff in-house.


The Company’s platform has two main membership categories: 1) the Consumer/User who visits our digital communities and partakes in viewing ad-supported and pay-per-view premium videos, purchases products and connects with “Insiders”, who are our 2) Premium Members.


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, PPV Video discounts, etc.


Transactions can be purchased using credit cards, or our incentivized Virtual Economy. When using our Virtual Economy, we set the value of the goods and services that are redeemed through a Points (Virtual Currency) System. Points can be bought or earned using our CPA Ad Network. Our Virtual Economy allows the Company to realize revenue every time Points are earned, as well as every time Points are redeemed.


On May 11, 2011, we acquired a 10% interest in iCandy, Inc. (“ICI”), and a 10% interest in iCandy Burlesque, Inc. (“ICB”), Nevada entertainment companies that develop and operate a variety of entertainment shows in the United States, primarily in casinos within Las Vegas, NV and Atlantic City, NJ. We acquired these interests in exchange for $25,499 that was in turn spent on the development of a promotional video that will be distributed over our media channels. In addition, we agreed to pay a license fee of 20% of the adjusted gross revenues that we earn from the distribution and sales related to the promotional video content. No such revenues have been earned to date. At December 31, 2011, we recognized a complete reserve for the impairment of this investment due to uncertainties regarding the future economic benefit.


In December of 2011, the Company signed an agreement with J&H Productions to produce a series of three reality shows centered on a family that is in the Las Vegas nightlife and night club business. The agreement also provides for the production of forty short video segments to be used to develop a new branded Channel Destination using the Company’s scalable platform.

Revenues:


During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we received revenues primarily from licensing fees from our private networks, including the sale of in-home media and advertising fees. Aggregate revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $11,225 compared to revenues of $21,656 in the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease in revenues of $10,431, or approximately 48%. Revenues from networks decreased due to decreased market saturation of our video content through our newly revamped websites and the Company’s existing media channels.


In addition to building and expanding our technology and revenues for the future through the development of a new e-commerce website that we launched in October of 2011, we continued production during the three months ended June 30, 2012 on a series of three reality shows centered on a family that is in the Las Vegas nightlife and night club business, including the production of forty short video segments to be used to develop a new branded Channel Destination using the Company’s scalable platform. As of June 30, 2012, we have collected a total of $205,000 pursuant to the production of these pilot episodes; however, the revenue is deferred until delivery and acceptance of the completed pilot episodes in accordance with the individual-film-forecast-computation method.

Direct Operating Costs:


Direct operating costs were $28,555 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $83,091 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $54,536, or approximately 66%. Our direct operating costs decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June, 2011 due to our shift in content development from our On-Demand and internet channels to the development of a series of three reality shows centered on a family that is in the Las Vegas nightlife and night club business, including the production of forty short video segments to be used to develop a new branded Channel Destination using the Company’s scalable platform. Our production costs incurred in the development of our content during the three months ended June 30, 2011 were expensed as incurred due to practical limitations applicable to monetizing our developed content over On-Demand networks, and the inability to be reasonably assured of the collectability of advertising or television license revenues, accordingly, the Company has expensed production costs related to the development of our On-Demand and internet-based content. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company has deferred a total of $124,430 of television production costs for pilot episodes, which are to be expensed as revenues are recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the completed pilots using the individual-film-forecast-computation method for each television show produced. The Company has not recognized revenues from the creation of these pilot episodes yet. Accordingly, no production costs have been expensed as of June 30, 2012.

The decrease in general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 2011 was due to decreased professional fees as we reigned in our operating activities and realized a reduction in our management personnel. During the three months ending June 30, 2012 we granted 1,800,000 shares of common stock valued at $97,000, for legal, business development, accounting and information technology services, while in the same period in 2011 we issued 180,000 shares valued at $28,800 for business development and consulting services.

The decrease in officer salaries was primarily due to the salary of the former President and COO incurred during the three months ending June 30, 2011 that were not incurred in the same three month period ending June 30, 2012 pursuant to his resignation effective January 1, 2012.


Office salaries and wages expense was $19,741 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $22,183 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $2,442, or approximately 11%.

29

 



Bad Debts (Recoveries):


Bad Debts (Recoveries) were $10,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $-0- for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $10,000, or approximately 100%. The increase was due to the expensing of uncollectable accounts during the three months ended June 30, 2012 that was not present in the comparative three months ended June 30, 2011.


Depreciation and Amortization:


Depreciation and amortization expense was $5,736 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $876 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $4,860, or approximately 555%. Depreciation expense increased due to the additional depreciation on the launch of our internet-based proprietary scalable technology platform in October of 2011 that was not in existence during the comparative three months ended June 30, 2011.


Other Income (Expense):


Other income (expense) was $(192,274) for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $2,198 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $194,472, or approximately 8,848%. Other income decreased primarily due to the derivative liability situation that existed in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and was not yet present in the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Net operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $241,405, or ($0.00) per share, compared to a net operating loss of $321,915 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, or ($0.01) per share, a decrease of $80,510 or 25%. Net operating loss decreased primarily as a result of our decreased direct operating costs in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, as we deferred $124,430 of financing costs in 2012 until we can recognize the related deferred revenue from the creation of our pilot episodes.


Net Loss:


The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $433,679 compared to a net loss of $319,717 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increased net loss of $113,962, or 36%. Net loss increased primarily as a result of decreased primarily due to the derivative liabilities during the three months ended June 30, 2012 that were not present during the comparative three months ended June 30, 2011.

Office salaries and wages expense was $39,693 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $41,133 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $1,440, or approximately 4%.


The Company recorded non-cash payments on accrued salaries and wages totaling $142,000 and $34,200, during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which included accrued salaries from prior periods.

Bad Debts (Recoveries):


Bad Debts (Recoveries) were $9,760 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $9,760, or approximately 100%. The increase was due to the expensing of uncollectable accounts during the six months ended June 30, 2012 that was not present in the comparative six months ended June 30, 2011.


Depreciation and Amortization:


Depreciation and amortization expense was $11,473 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1,114 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $10,359, or approximately 930%. Depreciation expense increased due to the additional depreciation on the launch of our internet-based proprietary scalable technology platform in October of 2011 that was not in existence during the comparative six months ended June 30, 2011.


Other Income (Expense):


Other income (expense) was $(176,293) for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $16,854 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $193,147, or approximately 1,146%. Other income decreased primarily due to the derivative liability situation that existed in the six months ended June 30, 2012 and was not yet present in the six months ended June 30, 2011.


Net Operating Loss:


Net operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $480,650, or ($0.01) per share, compared to a net operating loss of $685,577 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, or ($0.01) per share, a decrease of $204,841 or 29%. Net operating loss decreased primarily as a result of our decreased direct operating costs in the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, as we deferred $124,430 of financing costs in 2012 until we can recognize the related deferred revenue from the creation of our pilot episodes.


Net Loss:


The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $656,943 compared to a net loss of $668,723 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decreased net loss of $11,780, or 2%. Net loss increased primarily due to the derivative liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 that were not present during the comparative six months ended June 30, 2011, coupled with reduced direct operating costs since the Company has deferred a total of $124,430 of television production costs for pilot episodes, which are to be expensed as revenues are recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the completed pilots using the individual-film-forecast-computation method for each television show produced. The Company has not recognized revenues from the creation of these pilot episodes yet. Accordingly, no production costs have been expensed as of June 30, 2012.

Our principal source of operating capital has been provided from private sales of our common stock, revenues from operations, and debt and equity financings. At June 30, 2012, we had a negative working capital position of $1,143,200.


On April 20, 2012, the Company sold 120,000 shares of its common stock and an equal number of warrants, exercisable at $0.15 per share over a three year period pursuant to a unit offering in exchange for total proceeds of $12,000 received from the Company’s CEO. The proceeds received were allocated between the common stock and warrants on a relative fair value basis.


On February 14, 2012, the Company sold 80,000 shares of its common stock and an equal number of warrants, exercisable at $0.15 per share over a three year period pursuant to a unit offering in exchange for total proceeds of $8,000 received from the Company’s CEO. The proceeds received were allocated between the common stock and warrants on a relative fair value basis.


On January 15, 2012, the Company sold 250,000 shares of its common stock and an equal number of warrants, exercisable at $0.15 per share over a three year period pursuant to a unit offering in exchange for total proceeds of $25,000. The proceeds received were allocated between the common stock and warrants on a relative fair value basis.


We have utilized these funds to expand our media distribution platforms and to continue production of original programming for our own distribution platforms, as well as our expanding distribution network. 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.

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, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(c) and 15d – 15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive 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, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls


Our Principal Executive Officer does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, other than those stated above, 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


From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us.
