Management Commentary

  • “We expect we will need additional short‑term financing as well as financing over the next 12 months… specifically, we will need to raise approximately $3 million between March and April 2019 and a subsequent raise… of $20 million between April 2019 and July 2019” .
  • “The Agreement [with BDB Entertainment] is contingent on the registrant’s receipt of $3,000,000 in offering proceeds” .
  • “The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase authorized shares of common stock from 200,000,000 to 300,000,000” .
  • “Initially, Major League Football teams will operate in either existing collegiate or municipal stadiums during the spring and early summer season” .

Q&A Highlights

  • No Q1 FY2019 earnings call or Q&A session was found; investor communications occurred via 8‑K/10‑Q filings [ListDocuments returned none for transcripts in period; see 2019 filings list].

Estimates Context

  • No S&P Global Wall Street consensus estimates (EPS, revenue, EBITDA) were available for MLFB; comparisons to Street expectations cannot be made (Values retrieved from S&P Global are unavailable).

Where estimates may need to adjust:

  • Given zero revenue and persistent operating losses, any third‑party expectations for near‑term revenue/EPS would need to reflect continued pre‑revenue status until financing and season launch milestones are met .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Pre‑revenue status persists; Q1 FY2019 net loss was $0.160M with minimal cash of $0.002M, underscoring dependency on external financing before operations commence .
  • Funding is the gating factor: management reiterated ~$3M near‑term and ~$20M seasonal capital needs; execution of TV/marketing arrangements and facilities is contingent on this capital .
  • Operational steps are progressing (Virginia Beach Sportsplex, War Memorial Stadium leases), indicating readiness to monetize once the league launches .
  • Legal/settlement overhangs (e.g., $70k consent judgment; vendor claims) and delinquent filings increase execution risk and could pressure timing and cost of capital .
  • Capital structure flexibility improved with authorized shares raised to 300M, which may facilitate equity financing but also implies dilution risk .
  • Derivative liability volatility and high default‑rate debt amplify P&L noise and cash burn; reducing structured financing with conversion features would stabilize results .
  • Near‑term trading implication: news on funding closure (equity/convertible proceeds) and finalized broadcast/sponsorship agreements likely drives sentiment more than fundamentals; medium‑term thesis hinges on converting operational readiness into sustainable revenue post‑launch .
