NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | Office Lease On August 28, 2017, the Company was served with a Motion for Final Judgment related to a lease agreement for its corporate headquarters and training facility in Lakewood Ranch, Manatee County, Florida. The Landlord filed a Motion for Summary Judgment for back rent, attorney’s fees and foreclosure of a Landlord’s Lien. The Company responded, and the court granted the Motion as to liability for back rent without assessing an amount and denied the remainder of the Motion. As second Motion for Summary Judgment was filed as to the remaining issues. While pending, the parties reached a settlement on February 5, 2018. The terms of the settlement agreement included: 1. The Company immediately gives up all right, title and interest to business equipment and office furniture in the premises; 2. The Company immediately gives up all right, title and interest to its deposit in the sum of $11,918; 3. The landlord will continue to store the Company’s football equipment until June 7, 2018; 4. The Company will pay the landlord $40,000 on June 1, 2018 by TCA $40,000; 5. If the Company makes the required $40,000 payment, then it will be entitled to possession of all its football equipment free of any landlord encumbrance and; 6. If the Company fails to make the $40,000 payment, it shall relinquish all right, title and interest in the football equipment to the landlord. From May 31, 2018 through February 28, 2019, the landlord and the Company executed nine amendments to the February 5, 2018 settlement discussed above which specified: a. In lieu of making the payment of $40,000 on June 1, 2018, the Company has paid the landlord $28,000 of the $40,000 payment; and b. The Company has paid the landlord $5,030 as reimbursement for an additional months of storage space rental; and c. The Company will pay the landlord the remaining $12,000 balance on or before March 31, 2019. As a result of the ninth amendment dated February 28, 2019, the Company was allowed to remove certain football equipment and uniforms but not all equipment. If the Company fails to make the $12,000 payment on March 31, 2019, the Company unconditionally and irrevocably transfers all right, title and interest in and to the remaining football equipment in landlord’s possession and landlord may immediately dispose of same as it chooses. Lawsuit for Legal Fees On May 9, 2009, Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware for failure of the Company to pay legal fees owed in the amount of $166,129. The Company negotiated with Stradley and in July 2014, issued Stradley 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.05 per share, the quoted market price on the date of grant, as a sign of good faith towards a resolution. On April 2, 2009, to avoid the cost of litigation, the Company agreed to a Consent of Judgment against it in the amount of $166,129 and the Company continues to carry this amount as accounts payable in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at January 31, 2019. The Company is still in discussions with the law firm related to this Judgment and anticipates a resolution in the future. Attorney Lien On August 2, 2017, David Bovi, the Company’s former legal counsel, submitted correspondence reflecting a “charging lien” for non-payment relate to $243,034 of legal services provided to the Company. The amount included interest on unpaid invoices. The “retaining lien” states that Mr. Bovi will retain all documents in his possession unless paid the amount outstanding as described above. Vendor Lawsuits H&J Ventures, LLC H&J Ventures, LLC (“H&J”) is a debtor in a chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding. On October 4, 2016, the chapter 7 trustee (the “Trustee”) of the bankruptcy estate of H&J sent a letter to the Company claiming that the Company owed $7,800,000 to H&J relating to an October 1, 2014 agreement between the Company and H&J, and that the Trustee would accept a settlement payment of $6,630,000 to resolve the matter. The Company disputes this claim in its entirety. On December 9, 2016, the Trustee served the Company with a subpoena relating to this matter. The Company has retained counsel with respect to this matter and will respond to the subpoena as it is lawfully required to do; however, the Company considers this claim to be without merit. The Company engaged a law firm to assist in the matter and on January 23, 2017, paid a $7,500 retainer, which continues to be classified as prepaid legal fees in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at January 31, 2019. On August 24, 2017, the Company and H&J agreed to a $50,000 settlement payment by the Company to the bankruptcy trustee to resolve the matter. The settlement required the Company to make the payment by September 7, 2017 and failure to pay as per the terms of the settlement would probably result in sanctions of some type, and result in the settlement being set aside, to allow the trustee to pursue the full range of damages. It was represented at the mediation that an expert for the Trustee would opine that services rendered by H&J under the contract had a current value of the approximate sum of $2,000,000. The former CEO of the Company at that time, submitted the required $50,000 payment in a timely fashion to the trustee. However, on September 15, 2017, the trustee notified the Company that the payment made was returned for insufficient funds. The former CEO was given an opportunity by the trustee to rectify the issue with a valid payment on or before September 18, 2017, which payment did not occur. The trustee was willing to accept a $50,000 payment by the Company to settle the matter but is under no obligation to accept such payment and the trustee may pursue the full range of damages against Company. On May 16, 2018, the Court conducted a scheduling conference in which the Court granted leave to the Trustee to amend the pleadings to assert the bad check claims in the first lawsuit. The Court also gave the parties 90 days to conduct discovery. As of the date of this report, the Trustee has yet to file an amended pleading. A trial date was set for October 3, 2018. On August 13, 2018, the Company and the Trustee executed a Stipulation and Consent Order specifying that the Company would pay the Trustee $50,000 by August 31, 2018. If payment was not made timely by the Company and was not cured within three (3) days of the August 31, 2018 date, a consent judgment in the amount of $70,000 would be entered against the Company. The Company did not make the required payment within the timeframe and as a result, a judgment in the amount of $70,000 was entered against the Company. The Company recorded accrued expenses of $70,000 for the potential settlement in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at January 31, 2019. Interactive Liquid LLC: On August 4, 2017, Interactive Liquid LLC (Interactive”), a vendor of the Company, filed a lawsuit in the amount of $153,016 related to unpaid invoices for logo design and website development services provided. On December 18, 2017, MLFB received a settlement demand for payment of consideration with a total value of $153,016, consisting of stock valued at $26,016 and periodic cash payments to be completed on or before June 1, 2018 totaling $127,000. Further negotiations ensued and ultimately the case was settled on or about March 5, 2018. The settlement called for MLFB to make payment to Interactive in the sum of $10,000 immediately upon receipt of an initial tranche of funding. MLFB was then required to make an additional payment of $30,000 on or before June 1, 2018. MLFB’s failure to make the payments as outlined would result in the entry of a judgment in favor of Interactive against MLFB in the sum of $153,016, said sum representing the full amount of Interactive’s claimed damages. The Company has recorded accounts payable to Interactive of $153,016 in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at January 31, 2019. The Company failed to make the required payment due to lack of funding and as such, on June 4, 2018, Interactive filed the stipulated judgment. Lamnia International: The Company previously entered into a contract with Lamnia International (“Lamnia”) for investor relations services. On December 7, 2017, the Company received a demand for payment in the sum of $153,000. Per the demand letter, the sum was to be paid on or before December 15, 2017 and if not paid, collections and or legal actions could be instituted. The Company has recorded accounts payable to Lamnia of $124,968 in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at January 31, 2019. The difference in amounts is because the Company terminated the agreement in writing to the vendor whereas the vendor continued to charge for services after the date of termination for which the Company disagrees. Herm Edwards: The Company retained Herm Edwards, a former NFL player and coach, as a consultant to promote the new football league. On September 19, 2017, Mr. Edwards agent contacted the Company and indicated that under the contract, Mr. Edwards was still owed the sum of $216,668. The Company has recorded accounts payable to Mr. Edwards of $191,667 in the accompanying Unaudited Balance Sheet at January 31, 2019. The amount recorded by the Company is $25,000 less than the claim because services were terminated by both parties prior to amounts invoiced which the Company disputes. Unpaid Taxes and Penalties At January 31, 2019, the Company owed the State of Delaware $110,154 for unpaid state income taxes from the tax year ended April 30, 2007. The unpaid state income taxes are included as state income taxes payable in accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at January 31, 2019. Additionally, the Company owes the State of Delaware for penalties and interest from the tax year ending April 30, 2007 of $214,318, which is included as accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at January 31, 2019. The Company has an agreement with the State of Delaware to pay a minimum per month. However, due to cash flow constraints, the Company has been unable to pay the minimum monthly amounts and is in default of the agreement that may cause additional interest and penalties and lead to other collection efforts by the State of Delaware. In September 2015, the Company reached an offer in compromise (“OIC”) settlement with the IRS for unpaid penalties and interest from the tax year ended April 30, 2007. The settlement was in the amount of $13,785 and was to be paid by the Company with a $1,000 payment upon the execution of settlement, then the balance of $1,757 paid in November 2015 and making up the 20% down payment of $2,757, a second installment payment of $2,208, and then four monthly payments of $2,205. The Company made all required payments in accordance with the settlement except for the final payment of $2,205. The Company received correspondence from the IRS that because of an application fee note being paid with the original OIC, the Company was required to submit a new OIC and the required application fee. In October 2016, the Company had a telephone call with an IRS representative and were informed to offer the last payment that was due on the original OIC of $2,205 as discussed above and pay 20% of that balance. On October 5, 2016, the Company sent to the IRS by certified mail two checks in the amount of $186 (application fee for the new OIC) and $449 (20% or $441 of the $2,205 remaining original OIC payment and an $8 processing fee). The Company applied $441 against the remaining payment owed and the balance of $1,764 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at January 31, 2019. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not received any further correspondence form the IRS and the Company is considered in default of the settlement agreement and the IRS could void or restructure the agreement. Stock Delisting On September 14, 2017, the OTC Markets Group notified the Company of its delisting from the OTCQB due to its delinquency in filings, specifically with the SEC. SEC Correspondence On April 19, 2018, the Company received correspondence from the SEC Division of Corporate Finance related to non-compliance with the reporting requirements under Section 13(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The Company responded to the SEC on April 30, 2018 providing information that its past due April 30, 2017 Form 10-K was filed on April 25, 2018 and that it was actively preparing past due 10-Q filings for the periods ended July 31, 2017, October 31, 2017 and January 31, 2018. The Company requested a sixty (60) day extension to file the past due 10-Q reports. The Company filed the past due 10-Q reports with the SEC on June 11, 2018. The Company filed its Form 10-K and the financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2018 on November 19, 2018 but, were not timely filed. As the Company had not timely filed its Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2018, the Company may be subject, without further notice, to an administrative proceeding to revoke its registration under the Securities Act of 1934. Additionally, the Company had not timely filed its Form 10-Q for the three months ended July 31, 2018 and October 31, 2018. As of the date of these unaudited financial statements for the three months ended January 31, 2019, the Company has received no further correspondence from the SEC.

The Master Agreement has a term of one year through November 16, 2019 and provides for both cash and common stock payments for each of the above four service areas.
