NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2009
(Unaudited)

1.
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation :

United States Basketball League, Inc. (“USBL”), incorporated in Delaware on May 29, 1984, has operated a professional summer basketball league through franchises located in the United States.  Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Meisenheimer Capital Real Estate Holdings, Inc. (“MCREH”), owns a commercial building in Milford, Connecticut.  USBL cancelled its 2008, 2009, and 2010 seasons.

At August 31, 2010, USBL and MCREH (collectively, the “Company”) had negative working capital of $1,744,595, a stockholders’ deficiency of $1,555,189, and accumulated losses of $4,239,172.  These factors, as well as the Company’s reliance on related parties (see Notes 6 and 8), raise substantial doubt as to the USBL’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company is making efforts to raise equity capital, revitalize the league and market new franchises. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the USBL be unable to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they may not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation.  Operating results for the six-month period ended August 31, 2010 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2011.  The notes to the consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2010.

2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies :

Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of USBL and MCREH.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Fair value disclosures – The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable equity securities, due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued expenses, due in connection with South Korea venture, credit card obligations, and due to related parties, approximate their fair value due to their short term nature or based upon values of comparable instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

7


Marketable equity securities Marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in income.  The Company has classified its investment in marketable equity securities as trading securities.  The change in net unrealized holding gain (loss) included in earnings for the three months and six months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 was $(6,316), $(36,414), $(1,008), and $8,629, respectively.

Inventory - Inventory consists of USBL trading cards, basketball uniforms, sporting equipment and printed promotional material and is stated at the lower of cost or market.  Certain inventory was obtained through barter transactions whereby the USBL granted suppliers various advertising space (print) and airtime (television) in return for the supplier’s products.  These transactions were accounted for based upon the fair values of the assets and services involved in the transactions.

Depreciation expense - Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the building’s estimated useful life (30 years).

Revenue recognition - The Company generally uses the accrual method of accounting in these financial statements.  However, due to the uncertainty of collecting royalty and franchise fees from the franchisees, the USBL records these revenues upon receipt of cash consideration paid or the performance of related services by the franchisee.  Franchise fees earned in nonmonetary transactions are recorded at the fair value of the franchise granted or the service received, based on which value is more readily determinable.  Upon the granting of the franchise, the Company has performed essentially all material conditions related to the sale.  The offering price of a new franchise at August 31, 2010 was $50,000.

The Company generates advertising revenue from fees for arena signage, tickets, and program and year book advertising space. Advertising revenue is recognized over the period that the advertising space is made available to the user.

Fees charged to teams to allow them to relocate are recognized as revenue upon collection of the fee.  Souvenir sales, which are generated on the Company’s web site, are recorded upon shipment of the order.  Essentially all orders are paid by credit card.

Income taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  A valuation allowance has been fully provided for the deferred tax asset (approximating $800,000) attributable to the USBL net operating loss carryforward.

As of February 28, 2010, USBL had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $2,000,000 available to offset future taxable income.  The carryforward expires in varying amounts through year ended February 28, 2030.

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

Advertising costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

8


Stock-based compensation – Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” No stock options were granted during 2010 and 2009 and none are outstanding at August 31, 2010.
Earnings (loss) per share ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings (loss) per share (EPS).  ASC 260 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or convertible securities were exercised or converted into common stock.  The Company did not include the 1,105,679 shares of convertible preferred stock in its calculation of diluted loss per share for the periods presented as the result would have been antidilutive.

Comprehensive income – Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income (loss) as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity.  Comprehensive income (loss) was equivalent to net income (loss) for all periods presented.

Referee fees – The Company’s principal obligation under the franchise agreements is to provide referees for the league.

9.
Commitments and Contingencies

Occupancy Agreement

In September 2007, the Company moved its office from the MCREH building to a building owned by Genvest LLC, an organization controlled by the two officers of USBL.  Improvements to the Company’s space there were completed in February 2008.  Pursuant to a verbal agreement, the Company is to pay Genvest monthly rentals of $1,000 commencing March 2008.  At August 31, 2010 and February 28, 2010, accounts payable and accrued expenses included accrued rent payable to Genvest totaling $30,000 and $24,000, respectively.

Cancellation of 2008, 2009, and 2010 Seasons

USBL cancelled its 2008, 2009, and 2010 seasons.  These cancellations may result in claims and legal actions from franchisees.

Litigation

On June 30, 2008, a legal action was commenced by Albany Patroons, Inc., a franchisee of USBL, against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York.  The complaint alleges breach of contract by USBL due to the suspension of the 2008 season and seeks total damages of $285,000.  On September 5, 2008, the Company answered the complaint and asserted a counter-claim against plaintiff for breach of franchise agreement and/or memorandum of agreement.  This action was discontinued and the parties agreed to proceed with binding arbitration.  The Company believes that it has a meritorious defense to the action and does not expect the ultimate resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

11


South Korea Venture

In August 2008, the Company received $170,667 from a third party to investigate business opportunities with the South Korea Basketball League and with prospective South Korean sponsors.  Pursuant to the related verbal agreement, USBL paid a total of $160,000 to a consulting firm approved by the third party and recognized the remaining $10,667 as consulting fees revenue in the three months ended February 28, 2009.

In January 2009, the Company received an additional $256,000 from the third party.  Under the related verbal agreement, USBL paid a total of $240,000 ($220,000 in fiscal 2010, $20,000 in fiscal 2011) to the consulting firm approved by the third party and recognized the remaining $16,000 as consulting fees revenue in the year ended February 28, 2010.

In April and May 2010, the Company received an additional $157,667 relating to the South Korea venture.  In the six months ended August 31, 2010, USBL paid a total of $137,667 to the consulting firm approved by the third party and recognized the remaining $20,000 as consulting fees revenue in the three months ended August 31, 2010.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

OVERVIEW

It is anticipated that the Company will continue to rely on financial assistance from affiliates.  The Meisenheimer family is fully committed to making the Company a profitable operation and also making the League a viable one.  Given the current lack of capital, the Company has not been able to develop any new programs to revitalize the League, nor has it been able to hire additional sales and promotional personnel.  As a result, the Company is currently dependent on the efforts of Daniel T. Meisenheimer, III and two other employees for all marketing efforts.  Their efforts have not resulted in any substantial increase in the number of franchises.  The NBA has established a developmental basketball league known as the National Basketball Developmental League (“NBDL”).  The Company believes that the establishment of this league, consisting of eight teams, will have no effect on the Company’s season, since the NBDL season as presently constituted runs from November through March.  Further, nothing prohibits a NBDL player from playing in the USBL.  Accordingly, and as of the present time, the Company does not perceive the NBDL as a competitor.  However, with the establishment of the NBDL, it is unlikely that, at least for the present time, the Company can develop any meaningful relationship with the NBA .

Consulting fees revenues increased $16,000 from $4,000 in 2009 to $20,000 in 2010. This increase was due to higher fees recognized from the South Korea venture in 2010.

Operating expenses decreased $8,802 from $66,117 in 2009 to $57,315 in 2010 primarily due to decreases in other general and administrative expenses.

Net loss decreased $23,009 from $93,156 in 2009 to $70,147 in 2010, primarily as a result of the $16,000 increase in consulting fees revenues and the $8,802 decrease in operating expenses.

SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2010 AS COMPARED TO AUGUST 31, 2009

Consulting fees revenues increased to $20,000 for the first six months of 2010 from $8,000 for the first six months of 2009.  This increase was due to higher fees recognized from the South Korea venture in 2010.

Operating expenses increased from $106,295 for the six months ended August 31, 2009 to $116,694 for the six months ended August 31, 2010, primarily as a result of the $12,000 stock-based compensation issued to a consultant in 2010.

Net loss for the six months ended August 31, 2010 was $132,402 as compared to a $91,261 net loss for the six months ended August 31, 2009.  This decrease is due mainly to poorer investment performance in 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash of $3,278 and a working capital deficit of $1,744,595 at August 31, 2010.  The Company’s statement of cash flows reflects cash used in operating activities of $157,326, which results primarily from the net loss of $132,402 and an increase in marketable securities of $31,418.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $159,943 in 2010 compared to $179,411 in 2009.

The Company's ability to generate cash flow from franchise royalty fees is dependent on scheduling of a 2011 season and the financial stability of the individual franchises constituting the League. Each franchise is confronted with meeting its own fixed costs and expenses, which are primarily paid from revenues generated from attendance.  Experience has shown that USBL is generally the last creditor to be paid by the franchise.  If attendance has been poor, USBL has from time to time only received partial payment and, in some cases, no payments at all.  The Company estimates that it requires approximately $300,000 of working capital to sustain operations over a 12-month period.  Accordingly, if the Company is unable to generate additional sales of franchises and schedule a 2011 season within the next 12 months, it will again have to rely on affiliates for loans and revenues to assist it in meeting its current obligations.  With respect to long term needs, the Company recognizes that in order for the League and USBL to be successful, USBL has to develop a meaningful sales and promotional program.  This will require an investment of additional capital.  Given the Company’s current financial condition, the ability of the Company to raise additional capital other than from affiliates is questionable.  At the current time the Company has no definitive plan as to how to raise additional capital.
