        UNITED STATES BASKETBALL

    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, 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.  USBL cancelled its 2008 and 2009
seasons.
    At August
31, 2009, USBL and MCREH (collectively, the “Company”) had negative working
capital of $1,524,337, a stockholders’ deficiency of $1,329,739, and accumulated
losses of $4,001,722.  These factors, as well as the Company’s
reliance on related parties (see Notes 6 and 9), 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, 2009 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending February 28, 2010.  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, 2009.
    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, 2009 and 2008 was $(36,414), $13,291,
$8,629, and $(846), 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, 2009 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 $720,000)
resulting from the net operating loss carryforward.
    As of August 31, 2009, the Company had
a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $1,800,000 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.
8
        Stock-based
compensation - Stock compensation is accounted for at fair value in
accordance with SFAS Nos. 123 and 123(R),   “Accounting for
Stock–Based Compensation” and “Share-Based Payment.”  No stock options
were granted during 2009 and 2008 and none are outstanding at August 31,
2009.
    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.
    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.

franchise fees revenues from Spectrum of $0, $10,000, $0, and $20,000,
respectively.
    In the
three and six months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, MCREH received rental
income from Cadcom, Inc., a corporation controlled by the two officers of USBL,
totaling $0, $11,000, $0, and $22,000, respectively.
    In the

Occupancy
Agreement
    In
September 2007, the Company moved its office from the MCREH building to a
building owned by Tricom 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
Tricom monthly rentals of $1,000 commencing March 2008 and expiring December
2009.  At August 31, 2009, accounts payable and accrued expenses
included accrued rent payable to Tricom totaling $18,000.
    Cancellation of 2008 and
2009 Seasons
    USBL
cancelled its 2008 and 2009 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.  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 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 is to make 12 monthly
payments of $20,000 to the consulting firm approved by the third party and USBL
will be entitled to total fees of $16,000 over the one-year
period.  The Company recorded $240,000 as a liability in connection
with South Korea venture (which is reduced by $20,000 upon each payment to the
consulting firm approved by the third party) and $16,000 as a deferred revenue
liability (which is reduced and recognized as consulting fees revenue in the
amount of $1,333 per month).
    | 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.
    THREE
MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2009 AS COMPARED TO AUGUST 31, 2008
    Franchise fees revenues decreased
$10,000 from $10,000 in 2008 to $0 in 2009. This decrease was due to the
cancellation of the 2008 and 2009 seasons.
    Operating expenses decreased $10,111
from $76,228 in 2008 to $66,117 in 2009 primarily due to decreases in consulting
fees and travel and promotion expenses.
    Net loss increased $42,762 from $50,394
in 2008 to $93,156 in 2009, primarily as a result of poorer investment
performance in 2009.
13
        SIX
MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2009 AS COMPARED TO AUGUST 31, 2008
    Aggregate franchise fees decreased to
$0 for the first six months of 2009 from $20,000 for the first six months of
2008.  This decrease was due to the cancellation of the 2008 and 2009
seasons.  $0 and $42,000 of the 2009 and 2008 revenues, respectively,
were derived from related parties.
    Operating expenses decreased from
$133,933 for the six months ended August 31, 2008 to $106,295 for the six months
ended August 31, 2009, primarily as a result of the cancellation of the 2008 and
2009 seasons.
    Net loss for the six months ended
August 31, 2009 was $91,261 as compared to a $96,401 net loss for the six months
ended August 31, 2008.
    LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
    The Company had $1,717 cash and a
working capital deficit of $1,524,337 at August 31, 2009.  The
Company's statement of cash flows reflects cash used in operations of $184,927
and net cash provided by financing activities of $179,411 for the six months
ended August 31, 2009.
    The Company's ability to generate cash
flow from franchise royalty fees is dependent on scheduling of a 2010 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 2010 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.
