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. On December 27, 2007, USBL announced the suspension of its 2008 season. Management has decided to increase the number of franchises before it schedules the next season.

At November 30, 2007, USBL and MCREH (collectively, the “Company”) had negative working capital of $1,119,768, a stockholders’ deficiency of $916,084 and accumulated losses of $3,588,067. This factor, as well as the Company’s reliance on related parties (see Notes 7 and 10), 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 nine-month period ended November 30, 2007 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2008. 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 28, 2007.

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 party, 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.
 
7

 
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.

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 nine months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006 was $307, $(714), $(10,621), and $(23,444), 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 November 30, 2007 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 $640,000) resulting from the net operating loss carryforward.

As of November 30, 2007, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $1,600,000 available to offset future taxable income. The carryforward expires in varying amounts through year ended February 28, 2028.

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.
 
8

 
Advertising costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock-based compensation - Stock compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” No stock options were granted during 2007 and 2006 and none are outstanding at November 30, 2007.
 
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 nine months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006 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.

3.
Due From Related Party

At November 30, 2007 and February 28, 2007, the balance due from related party of $25,106 and $14,459, respectively, is due from Meisenheimer Capital, Inc. (“MCI”), controlling stockholder of USBL, bears no interest, and is due on demand.

MCREH leases the property to other tenants on a month-to-month basis. Rental income from the other tenants (which is included in other revenues in the consolidated statements of operations) for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006 was $16,500, $49,500, $16,200, and $42,600, respectively.

5.
Judgment Reserve

In December 2006, the Company learned that Lexcar, LLC was granted a default judgment against USBL on May 9, 2006 in the amount of $186,378 in an action pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The action alleged that USBL breached its agreement with Lexcar by failing to make a payment of $25,000 and by failing to repurchase the Westchester Wildfire franchise for $150,000. At November 30, 2006, the Company provided a $150,000 reserve for the ultimate resolution of this matter.

Effective July 31, 2007, the Company and Lexcar, LLC executed a settlement agreement whereby Lexcar was paid $140,000 in full and final settlement of this matter. The $10,000 lower amount paid than reserved for has been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2007 as a reduction in other operating expenses.

6.
Credit Card Obligations

USBL uses credit cards of related parties to pay for certain travel and promotion expenses. USBL has agreed to pay the credit card balances, including related interest. The credit card obligations bear interest at rates ranging up to 30% and are due in monthly installments of principal and interest.

Commitment
 
On November 28, 2007, USBL executed an agreement with Colebrooke Capital, Inc. (“Colebrooke”). The agreement provides for Colebrooke to provide financial advisory services to USBL. As compensation, USBL is 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 is four months and renews automatically unless either party has 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.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. 

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.

THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2007 AS COMPARED TO NOVEMBER 30, 2006

Franchise fees revenues decreased $5,000 from $5,000 in 2006 to $0 in 2007.

Sponsorship and advertising revenues decreased $61,000 from $61,000 in 2006 to $0 in 2007. Sponsorship and advertising revenues in 2006 were received from the Company’s affiliate Spectrum Associates.

Operating expenses decreased $152,605 from $200,593 in 2006 to $47,988 in 2007. The decrease was due to the absence in 2007 of the $150,000 judgment reserve expense recorded in 2006 to provide for the ultimate resolution of the litigation described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

Net loss decreased $97,580 from $138,566 in 2006 to $40,986 in 2007. The decrease was due primarily to the $150,000 lower judgment reserve expense in 2007, offset partially by $65,699 lower revenues in 2007.

NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2007 AS COMPARED TO NOVEMBER 30, 2006

Aggregate franchise fees decreased to $85,000 for the first nine months of 2007 from $109,250 for the first nine months of 2006. Franchise fees of $75,000 were received from MCI in both years, but third party franchise fees decreased from $34,250 in 2006 to $10,000 in 2007. Sponsorship and advertising revenues totaled $45,000 during the first nine months of 2007 as compared to $188,500 in the first nine months of 2006. In both years all sponsorship and advertising revenues were received from the Company’s affiliate Spectrum Associates. $169,500 and $306,100 of the 2007 and 2006 revenues, respectively, were derived from various related parties.

Operating expenses decreased $244,364 from $475,284 in 2006 to $230,920 in 2007. The decrease was due primarily to the $150,000 lower judgment reserve expense in 2007, the $15,000 decrease in consulting fees charged by MCI, the $25,941 decrease in referee fees, and the $42,218 decrease in travel and promotion expenses. Operating expenses for the nine months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006 included management fees of $75,000 and $90,000, respectively, to MCI for management services, including the services provided to the Company by Daniel T. Meisenheimer, III and Richard Meisenheimer.

Net loss decreased $93,339 from $168,076 in 2006 to $74,737 in 2007. The decrease was due mainly to the $244,364 decrease in operating expenses, offset partially by the $143,500 decrease in advertising revenues.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash of $501 and a working capital deficit of $1,119,768 at November 30, 2007. The Company's statement of cash flows reflects cash used in operations of $229,324 in 2007, which results primarily from the $74,737 net loss and the $150,000 decrease in the judgment reserve balance. Net cash provided by financing activities was $225,764 in 2007, primarily due to loans from related parties.
 
The Company's ability to generate cash flow from franchise royalty fees is dependent on 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 $200,000 of working capital to sustain operations over a 12-month period. Accordingly, if the Company is unable to generate additional sales of franchises within the next 12 months and to schedule its next season, 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.
