History

 

United States Basketball League (“USBL”, “we” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in May 1984 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Meisenheimer Capital, Inc. (“MCI”). MCI is a publicly owned company having made a registered public offering of its common stock in 1984. Since 1984, MCI has been under the control of the Meisenheimer family. Members of the Meisenheimer family also have a controlling interest in Spectrum Associates, Inc. (“Spectrum”), a company engaged in the manufacture of helicopter parts. From time to time, Spectrum has loaned money to us and has engaged in other revenue generating transactions with us.

 

Operations

 

We were incorporated by MCI for the purpose of developing and managing a professional basketball league, the United States Basketball League (the “League”). The League was originally conceived to provide a vehicle for college graduates interested in going professional with an opportunity to improve their skills and to showcase their skills in a professional environment. This approach afforded the players an opportunity to perhaps be selected by one of the teams comprising the National Basketball Association (“NBA”) and to attend summer camp sponsored by that team. USBL’s season (April through June of each year) was specifically designed to afford our League players the chance to participate in the various summer camps run by the teams in the NBA, which summer camps normally start in August each year. Since 1984 and up to the present time there have been approximately 150 players from our League who also have been selected to play for teams in the NBA. A sizable number of our players were eventually selected to play in NBA all star games. Additionally, a total of approximately 75 players were previously selected to play in the Continental Basketball Association (“CBA”) and the National Basketball Development League (the “NBDL”), the official developmental league of the NBA.

 

Since the inception of our League, we have been primarily engaged in selling franchises and managing the League. From 1985 and up to the present time, we have sold a total of approximately 40 active franchises (teams), a vast majority of which were terminated for non- payment of their respective franchise obligations. All seasons since 2008 have been canceled. At the present time we do not have any definitive plans as to the scheduling of a new season.

 

Employees

 

We currently have one part-time employee. This employee is currently engaged primarily to respond to inquiries for information from potential strategic parties.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this Item; however, due to the current circumstance we have chosen to include the following risk factor.

PART II.

 

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “USBL”.

 

 Our shares are subject to Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule.  The rule defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.  Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the security. Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 (not including their personal residence) or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse, and certain institutional investors. The rules require the broker-dealer to receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase and require the broker-dealer to deliver a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock prior to the first transaction. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the security.  Finally, monthly statements must be sent to customers disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks.

 

Holders

 

As of June 30, 2021, we had 300 shareholders of record, which does not include shareholders who hold shares in “street accounts” of securities brokers.

 

Dividends

 

We have not paid cash or stock dividends and have no present plan to pay any dividends, intending instead to reinvest our earnings, if any.  For the foreseeable future, we expect to retain any earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business and the payment of any cash dividends on our common stock is unlikely.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

None

 

Issuer Purchase of Securities

 

The Company did not repurchase any of its securities during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021.

 

Our Preferred Stock is held by our officers and directors and affiliates. No member of the public holds any Preferred Stock.

 

Item 6. Selected Financial data

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

  

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation 

 

Overview

 

It is anticipated that the Company will operate at a loss for the next twelve months. The Company anticipates continued 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 Daniel Meisenheimer, III and one other employee for all marketing efforts. Their efforts have not resulted in any franchises.

Results of Operations

 

Year Ended February 28, 2021, Compared to the Year Ended February 29, 2020

 

For the years ended February 28, 2021 ("Fiscal 2021") and February 29, 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”), the Company recognized no revenue.

 

Operating Expenses

For the year ended February 28, 2021, the company incurred $26,497 of operating expense compared to $41,407 for the year ended February 29, 2020. In the prior year we incurred expense for rent and professional fees that we did not have in the current year.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company's Fiscal 2021 statement of cash flows reflects net cash used in operating activities of $1,226, compared to $24,246 in the prior year.

 

For the year ended February 28, 2021, we received $1,000 from a related party compared to $24,252 in the prior year.

 

The Company expects it will again 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 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.

 

As indicated in the report of the independent registered public accounting firm, the financial statements referred to above have been prepared for the Company assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

United States Basketball League, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of United States Basketball League, Inc. (the “Company”) as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the year ended February 28, 2021 February 29, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of United States Basketball League Inc. as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on my audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor are we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021, AND FEBRUARY 29, 2020

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

United States Basketball League, Inc. (“USBL”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 29, 1984, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Meisenheimer 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 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. 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.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Use of 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.  Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

 

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents for the year ended February 28, 2021 or February 29, 2020.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

 

F-7

 

 

 

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.  The Company’s notes payable approximates the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements on February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020.

 

Income taxes

The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”) with regards to uncertainty income taxes.  Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.  The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.

 

Net income (loss) per common share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period.  The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815, and Leases (Topic 841). This new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. While the Company is continuing to assess the potential impacts of ASU 2019-10, it does not expect ASU 2019-10 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $5,119,824, liabilities of $2,435,916 and no source of revenue. For the year ended February 28, 2021 the Company had a net loss of $26,497, with $1,226 of cash used in operating activities. Due to these conditions, it raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On April 7, 2021, through a series of Stock Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”), the majority owners of the Company, Richard C. Meisenheimer, Daniel T. Meisenheimer, III, James Meisenheimer, Meisenheimer Capital, Inc. and Spectrum Associates, Inc. (the “Sellers”) sold a total of 2,744,007 existing common shares of USBL’s common stock at a per share price of $.065, issued 2,400,000 shares of USBL’s common stock at a per share price of $.10 and sold 1,105,644 of USBL’s existing preferred stock at a per share price of $.057 for a total purchase price of $481,066. There were two purchasers of over 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of USBL’s capital stock following these sales, Equity Markets Advisory which owns 8.29% of the issued and outstanding shares of USBL’s common stock and EROP Enterprises LLC which owns 29.24% of the issued and outstanding shares of USBL’s common stock and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock.

 

As a result of the sale of common and preferred stock by the Sellers, the Company experienced a change in control.

 

World Equity Markets acted in the capacity of a broker/dealer for the Purchase Agreements and was issued 125,000 shares of common stock for its services and Verde Capital was issued 150,000 shares for Consulting Services.

 

Effective April 7, 2021, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Daniel T. Meisenheimer, III as Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of the Company. Effective April 7, 2021, Saeb Jannoun was appointed to fill the vacancy following the resignation of Daniel T. Meisenheimer, III as Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of the Company.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Management’s Report Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Based on their evaluation as of February 28, 2021, our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer, being our principal executive and principal financial officer, respectively, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of February 28, 2021.

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended February 28, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company in accordance with and as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our internal controls framework is based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the small business issuer’s internal control over financial reporting is as of February 28, 2021. We believe that internal control over financial reporting is not effective.

These persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file with the SEC.
