INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
During the three month period ended September 30, 2008, International Fight League, Inc.
(IFLI), ceased the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, IFL Corp. (IFLC), through which
all operations were conducted, and on September 15, 2008, IFLC voluntarily filed a petition for
reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (Bankruptcy Code) in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Court). IFLCs
bankruptcy case is docketed as In re IFL Corp., Case No. 08-13589 (MG). On November 17, 2008, IFLC
sold substantially all of its assets to HDNet LLC (HDNet) pursuant to a sale under Section 363 of
the Bankruptcy Code which was approved by the Court on October 28, 2008. IFLC is operating its
business and managing its assets as a debtor in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108
of the Bankruptcy Code and plans to file a plan of liquidation with the Court to pay off creditors
and to orderly wind down its affairs. IFLI plans to operate as a shell company on a continuing
basis.
The Company refers to the consolidated accounts of IFLI and IFLC through September 15, 2008
and IFLI subsequent to that date.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable for a going concern which
assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary
course of business, and all applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. At March 31, 2009, the Company had cash of $79,000 and an accumulated deficit of
$37,622,000, and has no business operations.
The Company is exploring its options to realize value for its stockholders, which may include
seeking a reverse merger transaction with a party with operations. The Company has no present
avenues of financing, no source of revenues and no present plans to obtain interim financing while
continuing to explore its options. As a result of the foregoing, the lack of liquidity and funding
sources pose a substantial risk to the ongoing viability of the Company. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2BASIS OF PRESENTATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND EQUITY INVESTMENT IN INVESTEE
In accordance with Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51 Consolidated Financial
Statements-As Amended, (ARB 51) the Company was required to deconsolidate IFLC upon the filing
of its petition for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 in September 2008. Under ARB No. 51, a
majority owner is deemed to have lost control over a subsidiary if the subsidiary is in legal
reorganization or bankruptcy. These conditions preclude consolidation as control rests with the
bankruptcy court, rather than the majority owner. Accordingly, IFLI deconsolidated IFLC as of
September 15, 2008, eliminating all future operations from the financial results of operations.
Since September 16, 2008, the operations of IFLIs wholly-owned subsidiary IFLC have, therefore,
been accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that an investment in an investee be reported
using the equity method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 18, The Equity
Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock when an investor corporation can exercise
significant influence over the operations and financial policies of an investee corporation. When
the equity method of accounting is used, the investor initially records the investment in the stock
of an investee at cost. The investment account is then adjusted to recognize the investors share
of the income or losses of the investee after the date of acquisition when it is earned
by the investee. Such amounts are included when determining the net income of the investor in
the period they are reported by the investee.
7
INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Based on the loss of control over IFLC and the uncertainties surrounding the nature, timing
and specifics of the bankruptcy proceedings, IFLI deconsolidated IFLC as of September 15, 2008,
eliminating all results from that point forward associated with its balance sheets, statements of
operations and cash flows. The Companys previously reported consolidated balance sheets,
consolidated statements of operations and consolidated cash flows prior to September 15, 2008
continue to include IFLCs financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the accounts
of IFLI and IFLC as of March 31, 2008 and for the three month period then ended, and the accounts
of IFLI only as of March 31, 2009 and for the three month period then ended. All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and
results of operations as of and for the periods presented. The Company is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited financial statements
and footnotes. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of any material
revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the operations of IFLC have been accounted for
under the equity method of accounting and are disclosed as activity related to Equity Investee in
the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The assets and liabilities of IFLC
are excluded from the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009. (See
Note 5). Since IFLCs results after September 15, 2008 are not consolidated with the IFLIs
results, and because the IFLI believes it will not be obligated to fund losses related to its
investment in IFLC, under principles of consolidation, any material uncertainties related to IFLCs
future operations are not expected to impact IFLIs financial results.
NOTE 3 RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff
Position (FSP) EITF Issue No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based
Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 provides
that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or
dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in
the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those
years. Upon adoption, a company is required to retrospectively adjust its earnings per share data
(including any amounts related to interim periods, summaries of earnings and selected financial
data) to conform to the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1. The adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 had no
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133. (SFAS 161) SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entitys
derivative and hedging activities. Entities will be required to provide enhanced disclosures
about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and
related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and
(c) how derivative instruments and related hedge items affect an entitys financial position,
financial performance and cash flows. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 161 beginning in
fiscal year 2009. The adoption of SFAS 161 has had no effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51 (Consolidated Financial Statements)
(SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for a non-controlling
interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. In addition, SFAS 160
requires certain consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of SFAS 141(R),
Business Combinations. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and
8
INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with earlier
adoption prohibited. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a significant impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS
141(R)). SFAS 141(R) expands the definition of transactions and events that qualify as business
combinations; requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be
recorded at the fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter be reflected
in revenue, not goodwill; changes the recognition timing for restructuring costs; and requires
acquisition costs to be expensed as incurred. Adoption of SFAS 141(R) is required for combinations
after December 15, 2008. Early adoption and retroactive application of SFAS 141(R) to fiscal years
preceding the effective date are not permitted. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) did not have a
significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 4 RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain 2008 balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the 2009 presentation.
NOTE 5EQUITY METHOD OF INVESTEE, LOSS IN EXCESS OF INVESTMENT IN EQUITY INVESTEE AND FINANCIAL
INFORMATION OF DECONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY
From September 16, 2008, the day after IFLC filed its bankruptcy petition, through March 31,
2009, the operations of IFLC have been accounted for under the equity method of accounting due to
the loss of control by IFLI as described in Note 2. Summarized financial information of IFLC as of
March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 and March

(A) Liabilities Subject to Compromise: Liabilities subject to compromise refer to both
secured and unsecured obligations that will be accounted for under the plan of
reorganization, including claims incurred prior to the petition date. They represent the
debtors current estimate of the amount of known or potential pre-petition claims that are
subject to restructuring in the chapter 11 case. Such claims remain subject to future
adjustments. Related party and insider liabilities, such as amounts due to IFLI, are
subordinated to the claims of other creditors.
Subsequent to IFLCs petition for reorganization relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code in the Court, IFLC has been operating its business and managing its affairs as a debtor in
possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On November 17, 2008,
IFLC sold substantially all of its assets to HDNet LLC (HDNet) for $650,000 cash and the
assumption by HDNet of certain obligations, pursuant to a sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy
Code which was approved by the Court on October 28, 2008. IFLC plans to file a plan of liquidation
with the Court to pay off creditors and to orderly wind down its affairs.
The financial information above for IFLC has been prepared in conformity with Statement of
Position 90-7 Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code (SOP
90-7), which requires that the liabilities subject to compromise by the Bankruptcy Court are
reported separately from the liabilities not subject to compromise, and that all transactions
directly associated with the plan of reorganization be reported separately as well. Liabilities
subject to compromise include pre-petition unsecured claims that may be settled at amounts that
differ from those recorded in IFLCs condensed consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE 6DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On September 15, 2008, IFLC voluntarily filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the Code with the
Court. The Company ceased operations in the quarter ended September 30, 2008, prior to the filing
of the bankruptcy petition by IFLC. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of it mixed
martial arts (MMA) operations as discontinued operations. The following summarizes the results

NOTE 7LOSS PER SHARE
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of SFAS No. 128, Earnings
Per Share. Basic earnings per share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
(loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period plus the additional weighted average common equivalent shares during
the period. Common equivalent shares result from the assumed exercises of outstanding stock options
and warrants, the proceeds of which are then assumed to have been used to repurchase outstanding
shares of common stock (the treasury stock method). Common equivalent shares are not included in
the per share calculations where the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Inherently,
stock
10

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
options and warrants are deemed to be anti-dilutive when the average market price of the
common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the stock options or warrants.
At March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Companys common stock equivalents include stock options
outstanding of 651,619 and 3,037,797 and warrants outstanding of 14,294,513, and 14,611,180,
respectively. These common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted EPS calculations
because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive or would decrease the loss per common
share.
NOTE 8INCOME TAXES
The Company files a
federal U.S. income tax return and income tax returns in certain other
states and cities. Tax returns for the years 2007 through 2008 remain open for examination in
various tax jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. As a result of the
implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for
unrecognized income tax benefits. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, and at March 31, 2009,
there were no unrecognized tax benefits. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions
will be recognized in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2009, no interest related to uncertain
tax positions had been accrued.
NOTE 9STOCK OPTION PLAN
Accounting for stock options issued to employees follows the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment and the SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, Valuation of
Share-Based Payment Arrangements for Public Companies. This statement requires an entity to
measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based
on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during
which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company uses the
Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure the fair value of options granted to employees.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the new 2006 Equity Incentive
Plan (the Plan), which permits the grant of share options and other forms of share-based awards
to its employees and service providers for up to 5,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock.
Option awards generally vest based on 3 years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual
terms. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in
control (as defined in the Plan).
Option activity under the Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is summarized below:

respectively.

(Unaudited)
Restricted Stock
The fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based upon the number of shares
awarded and the quoted price of our common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of the
award is recognized as an expense over the service or vesting period, net of forfeitures, using the
straight-line method under SFAS No. 123(R). Because the Company does not have historical data on
forfeitures and has made only one grant of restricted stock, forfeitures are calculated based upon
actual forfeitures, not estimates or assumptions.
In May 2007, the Company granted its only restricted stock award for 125,000 shares to its
President, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel. Costs of $95,443 and $47,656 were
recognized as stock compensation expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively related to this award. All of the shares were vested as of March 31, 2009.
NOTE 10 WARRANTS
The Company has issued a total of 14,611,180 warrants to purchase common stock at prices
ranging from $.30 per share to $1.25 per share. Of this total, 13,976,180 were issued in
connection with the Companys December 2006 and August 2007 private placements, are fully vested
and no charges to earnings were recognized. The remaining 635,000 warrants were issued during the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 as incentive compensation to league coaches and as compensation to a
consultant to the Company, of which 318,333 were outstanding and vested as of March 31, 2009. All
costs for the issuance of these warrants have been recognized in prior periods, therefore no
charges were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related
notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed on April 15, 2009. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis
contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts
and projections about us, our future performance and the industries in which we operate as well as
on our managements assumptions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.
When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the words anticipate, objective, may,
might, should, could, can, intend, expect, believe, estimate, predict, targets,
goals, projects, seeks, potential, plan, is designed to or the negative of these and
similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. While we believe our plans, intentions
and expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you
that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Other than as required by
applicable securities laws, we are under no obligation to update any forward-looking statement,
whether as result of new information, future events or otherwise. Our actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors, including but not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A, Risk Factors, and elsewhere
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008.
Overview, Discontinued Operations and Sale of Assets
Our business was founded in 2005 to organize, host and promote live and televised professional
mixed martial arts (MMA) sporting events under the name International Fight league or IFL and
to capitalize on the growing popularity of MMA in the United States and around the world. In
June 2008, we announced that our event scheduled for August 15, 2008 had been canceled and on
September 15, 2008, our wholly-owned subsidiary IFLC, through which we conducted our operations and
which held substantially all of our assets, voluntarily filed a petition for reorganization relief
under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York (the Court). IFLCs bankruptcy case is docketed as In re IFL Corp., Case
No. 08-13589 (MG). IFLC is operating its business and managing its assets as a debtor in
possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On November 17, 2008,
IFLC sold substantially all of its assets to HDNet LLC (HDNet) for $650,000 cash and the
assumption by HDNet of certain obligations, pursuant to a sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy
Code which was approved by the Court on October 28, 2008. IFLC plans to file a plan of liquidation
with the Court to pay off creditors and to orderly wind down its affairs.
With the sale of substantially all of our assets to HDNet and with no active business
operations or business assets, we are a shell company as defined by the rules of the SEC under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our Board of Directors, on a time available basis, will
search for, review and engage in due diligence for potential merger or acquisition proposals for
which the Board of Directors would deem to be suitable acquisition candidates. To date, no such
acquisition or merger proposal has been identified. If our Board of Directors is able to identify
a potential merger or acquisition candidate, we cannot predict in what industry or business this
candidate may operate.
We will continue to incur ongoing losses, which are expected to be greatly reduced due to the
inactive nature of our business following the sale of our assets to HDNet and the winding down of
IFLC. However, losses will be incurred to pay ongoing reporting expenses, including legal and
accounting, as necessary to maintain the Company as a public entity, as well as some minimal
operating expenses and insurance premiums for directors and officers liability and other
insurance, while searching for merger or acquisition candidates. In addition, we will incur costs
related to the termination of employees and satisfying our pre-existing severance obligations with
these employees.
In connection with the sale of substantially all of our assets to HDNet, the assets sold to
HDNet included the name International Fight League, our corporate name. We have entered into a
name use agreement with HDNet which permits us to use International Fight League for general
corporate purposes until the earlier of (a) two years or (b) becoming involved in any active trade
or business (other than the use of the name for general
13
corporate purposes). The only assets we currently have are cash and cash equivalents, prepaid
expenses (consisting of prepaid insurance premiums), and miscellaneous computer equipment.
Due to the September 15, 2008 bankruptcy filing by IFLC, IFLC ceased being a consolidated
subsidiary as of that date. As a result, our balance sheets as of March 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008 include only the assets and liabilities of International Fight League, Inc., the parent
company, and our statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 excludes the
results of operations of IFLC. The results of IFLC prior to the bankruptcy filing are consolidated
in our financial statements and are shown as discontinued operations.
Corporate History
Prior to November 29, 2006, we were known as Paligent Inc., a Delaware corporation
(Paligent). On November 29, 2006, we acquired IFLC, then known as International Fight League,
Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation, by a merger (the Merger) pursuant to an agreement
and plan of merger (the Merger Agreement). Immediately following the Merger, we changed our name
to International Fight League, Inc. and IFLC changed its name to IFL Corp. and continued to operate
the business of organizing and promoting a mixed martial arts sports league under the name
International Fight League.
The Merger has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of
accounting for business combinations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States. Reported results of operations of the combined group reflect the operations of
the Company and IFLC.
Results of Operations
We had a loss of $333,960 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, less than $0.01 per
share, as compared to a loss of $2,311,598, or $0.03 per share in the first quarter of 2008, of
which $240,411 was from continuing operations and $2,071,187 was from discontinued operations.
Because we have no operations, no revenues were generated in the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were significantly lower in the first quarter of 2009,
$47,000, versus $202,000 in 2008, due to cost reductions and reductions in staff beginning in the
second quarter of 2008, and the Company still having operations in the first quarter of 2008.
Share-based compensation expense for the first quarter of 2009 was $127,000, of which $95,000 was
attributable to the final vesting of restricted stock. Share-based compensation expense for the
first quarter of 2008 was $167,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, interest income
of $190 was earned on available cash balances compared to $43,295 in 2008, a significant decrease
due to the significantly lower cash balances.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
At March 31, 2009, our consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $78,600.
We are exploring options to realize value for our stockholders, which may include seeking a
reverse merger transaction with a party having ongoing operations. We have no present avenues of
financing, no source of revenues and no present plans to obtain interim financing while continuing
to explore our options.
As a result of the foregoing, our lack of liquidity and funding sources pose a substantial
risk to our ongoing viability. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this report have
been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The forgoing conditions raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2009, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
14
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresUnder the supervision and with the
participation of management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of
the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the
President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have
not been operating effectively as of the end of the period covered by this report.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management
identified a material weakness due to insufficient resources in the accounting and finance
departments, resulting in (i) ineffective review, monitoring and analysis of schedules,
reconciliations and financial statement disclosures and (ii) the misapplication of U.S. GAAP and
SEC financial reporting requirements. Due to the lack of resources that are appropriately
qualified in the areas of U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting, and the potential impact on the
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and the importance of the interim
financial closing and reporting process, in the aggregate, there is more than a remote likelihood
that a material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements would not have been prevented
or detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we continue to have a material weakness in our internal control
over financial reporting as disclosed in Item 9A(T) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2008.
