UNITED STATES BASKETBALL LEAGUE, INC.
SIXNINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2017NOVEMBER 30, 2018
(Unaudited)
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation:
United States Basketball League, Inc. (“USBL”), was incorporated in Delaware on May 29, 1984 as a wholly owned subsidiary of MeiseheimerMeisenheimer Capital, Inc. (“MCI”) for the purpose of developing and managing a professional basketball league, the United States Basketball League (the “League”). Since the inception of the League, USBL has been primarily engaged in selling franchises and managing the League. From 1985 and up to the present time, USBL has sold a total of approximately forty active franchises (teams), a vast majority of which were terminated for non-payment of their respective franchise obligations. SeasonsThe seasons from 2008 through 2018, inclusive, have been cancelled. At the present time, USBL does not have any definitive plans as to the scheduling of a new season. USBL is currently in the process of exploring certain strategic alternatives, including the possible sale of the League.
On October 30, 2014, USBL dissolved its wholly-owned subsidiary, Meisenheimer Capital Real Estate Holdings, Inc. (“MCREH”). MCREH owned a commercial building in Milford, Connecticut until June 19, 2014.
At August 31, 2017,November 30, 2018, USBL had negative working capital of $2,270,549,$2,361,395, and accumulated losses of $4,954,532.$5,045,378. These factors, as well as the Company’s reliance on related parties (see Notes 3, 4, and 4)6), raise substantial doubt as to the Company’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 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying unaudited 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-monthnine-month period ended August 31, 2017November 30, 2018 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2018.2019. The notes to the consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2017.2018.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Fair value disclosures –The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, 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.
| 8 |
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.
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, USBL recorded these revenues upon receipt of cash consideration paid or the performance of related services by the franchisee. Franchise fees earned in nonmonetary transactions were recorded at the fair value of the franchise granted or the service received, based on which value was more readily determinable. Upon the granting of the franchise, the Company had performed essentially all material conditions related to the sale.
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 (approximately $1,015,000(approximating $630,000 at February 28, 2017)2018) attributable to the USBL net operating loss carryforward.
As of February 28, 2017,2018, USBL had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $2,900,000$3,000,000 available to offset future taxable income. The carryforward expires in varying amounts from 2019 to 2037.2038. Current United States income tax laws limit the amount of loss available to offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.
USBL files Federal and Connecticut income tax returns using a December 31 fiscal year. The last returns filed were filed for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 for the periods presented and none are outstanding at August 31, 2017.
November 30, 2018.
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 three and sixnine months ended August 31,November 30, 2018 and 2017 and 2016 as the result would have been antidilutive.
| 9 |
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.

| Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS of |
OVERVIEW
The Company anticipates continuecontinued reliance on financial assistance from affiliates. 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 sales and promotional personnel or schedule a season. As a result, the Company is currently dependent on the efforts of its officers for all marketing efforts. Their efforts have not resulted in any franchises.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
The Company generally uses the accrual method of accounting. However, due to the uncertainty of collecting royalty and franchise fees from the franchisees, the USBL recorded these revenues upon receipt of cash consideration paid or the performance of related services by the franchisee. Franchise fees earned in nonmonetary transactions were recorded at the fair value of the franchise granted or the service received, based on which value was more readily determinable. Upon the granting of the franchise, the Company had performed essentially all material conditions related to the sale.

The Company expects it will continue to have to rely on affiliates for loans to assist it in meeting its current obligations. With respect to long term needs, the Company recognizes that in order for the USBL and the League 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 Company’s ability 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 and schedule a 2019 season.
