    NOTES
      TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    SIX
      MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2008
    (Unaudited)
    | 1. | Description
                of Business and Basis of Presentation: | 
United
      States Basketball League, Inc. (“USBL”), incorporated in Delaware on May 29,
      1984, operates 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.
    At
      August
      31, 2008, USBL and MCREH (collectively, the “Company”) had negative working
      capital of $1,277,205, a stockholders’ deficiency of $1,077,415, and accumulated
      losses of $3,749,398. These factors, as well as the Company’s reliance on
      related parties (see Notes 6 and 9), create an uncertainty 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. Because of the uncertainties
      surrounding the ability of the Company to continue its operations, there is
      substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
      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, 2008 may not necessarily
      be
      indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February
      28,
      2009. 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-KSB for the year ended February 29, 2008.
    | 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, accounts payable and accrued
      expenses, credit card obligations, due to related parties and mortgage payable,
      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.
    5
        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, 2008 and 2007 was $13,291, $13,291, $(846), and $(1,021),
      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 (approximately 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, 2008 was $100,000.
    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 $680,000) resulting from the net operating
      loss carryforward.
    As
      of
      August 31, 2008, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of
      approximately $1,700,000 available to offset future taxable income. The
      carryforward expires in varying amounts through year ended February 28,
      2029.
    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.
    6
        Stock-based
      compensation
      - Stock
      compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R),
      “Share – Based Payment.” No stock options were granted during 2008 and 2007 and
      none are outstanding at August 31, 2008.
    Earnings
      (loss) per share
      - SFAS
      No.
      128, “Earnings Per Share”, establishes standards for computing and presenting
      earnings (loss) per share (EPS). SFAS No. 128 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 six months ended August 31, 2008 and 2007
      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.

      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.
    Financial
      Advisory Agreement
    On
      November 28, 2007, USBL executed an agreement with Colebrooke Capital, Inc.
      (“Colebrooke”). The agreement provided for Colebrooke to provide financial
      advisory services to USBL. As compensation, USBL was to pay Colebrooke monthly
      fees of $3,000 commencing December 15, 2007. In the event that a financing
      is
      consummated with a participant introduced to USBL by Colebrooke or with which
      Colebrooke was in discussions with on behalf of USBL, Colebrooke is to receive
      consideration equal to 7.5% of the total capital raised. For non-financing
      capital transactions, Colebrooke is to earn a cash fee equal to 5% of the
      Transaction Value; alternatively and at Colebrooke’s option, Colebrooke may
      receive 6% of the Transaction Value in an equivalent form to that received
      or
      issued by USBL. The term of the agreement was four months and was to renew
      automatically unless either party provided written notice of cancellation.
      Colebrooke’s engagement may be terminated by USBL or Colebrooke at any time upon
      30 days written notice from one party to the other.
    9
        No
      monthly fees to Colebrooke were paid or accrued in the six months ended August
      31, 2008. The Company has obtained a verbal waiver of such fees from
      Colebrooke.
    Suspension
      of 2008 Season
    In
      December 2007, USBL announced the suspension of its 2008 season. This suspension
      has resulted in one legal action and may result in additional 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. 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.
    South
      Korean 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. Under a verbal agreement with the third party, the $170,667
      is
      to be used to pay certain expenditures approved by the third party in connection
      with such investigation. In August 2008, the Company paid $60,000 to a
      consulting firm approved by the third party. Since the third party effectively
      controls the funds, the Company recorded the $170,667 as a liability (not as
      revenue) and recorded the $60,000 expenditure as a reduction of the liability
      (not as an expense). At August 31, 2008, the Company has included the $110,667
      unexpended portion of the money in accounts payable and accrued
      expenses.
    | 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 United States Basketball League (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 League.
      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.
    10
        THREE
      MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2008 AS COMPARED TO AUGUST 31, 2007
    Franchise
      fees revenues decreased $20,000 from $30,000 in 2007 to $10,000 in 2008. This
      decrease was due to the suspension of the 2008 season. 
    Operating
      expenses increased $3,038 from $73,191 in 2007 to $76,228 in 2008 primarily
      due
      to an increase in professional fees offset by a decrease in consulting fees
      and
      referee fees as a result of the suspension of the 2008 season.. 
    Net
      loss
      increased $15,572 from $34,822 in 2007 to $50,394 in 2008. 
    SIX
      MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2008 AS COMPARED TO AUGUST 31, 2007
    Aggregate
      franchise fees decreased to $20,000 for the first six months of 2008 from
      $85,000 for the first six months of 2007. This decrease was due to the
      suspension of the 2008 season. Sponsorship and advertising revenues totaled
      $0
      during the first six months of 2008 as compared to $45,000 in the first six
      months of 2007. This was due to a decrease in revenues from the Company’s
      affiliate Spectrum Associates. $42,000 and $153,000 of the 2008 and 2007
      revenues, respectively, were derived from various related parties.
    Operating
      expenses decreased from $182,932 for the six months ended August 31, 2007 to
      $133,933 for the six months ended August 31, 2008. This decrease was due to
      the
      $74,000 decrease in consulting fees and $20,200 decrease in referee fees as
      a
      result of the suspension of the 2008 season. Operating expenses for the six
      months ended August 31, 2008 and 2007 included management fees of $0 and
      $75,000, respectively, to MCI for management services, including the services
      provided to the Company by Daniel T. Meisenheimer, III and Richard Meisenheimer.
      
    Net
      loss
      for the six months ended August 31, 2008 was $96,401 as compared to a $33,751
      net loss for the six months ended August 31, 2007.
    LIQUIDITY
      AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
    The
      Company had $79,847 cash and a working capital deficit of $1,277,205 at August
      31, 2008. The Company's statement of cash flows reflects cash used in operations
      of $15,272 and net cash provided by financing activities of $77,144 for the
      six
      months ended August 31, 2008. 
    The
      Company's ability to generate cash flow from franchise royalty fees is dependent
      on scheduling of a 2009 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 at least $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 2009 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.

      without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
      required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange
      Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal
      executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions

      INFORMATION
    | Item 1. | Legal
                Proceedings. | 
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. 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.
    | Item 5. | Other
                Information. | 
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. Under a verbal agreement with the third party, the $170,667
      is
      to be used to pay certain expenditures approved by the third party in connection
      with such investigation. In August 2008, the Company paid $60,000 to a
      consulting firm approved by the third party. Since the third party effectively
      controls the funds, the Company recorded the $170,667 as a liability (not as
      revenue) and recorded the $60,000 expenditure as a reduction of the liability
      (not as an expense). At August 31, 2008, the Company has included the $110,667
      unexpended portion of the money in accounts payable and accrued
