securities are being offered or sold by us pursuant to the prospectus. We will not receive any of
the proceeds from the sale of these shares by the selling stockholders.
This prospectus supplement includes our attached Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the

You should read this prospectus supplement in conjunction with the prospectus and prospectus
supplement nos. 1, 2 and 3. This prospectus supplement is not complete without, and may not be

sales price per share of our common stock, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board on December 18,
2008 was $0.007.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.
Before purchasing shares of our common stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors
beginning on page 8 of the prospectus, as these risk factors may be updated in prospectus
supplements.

disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the prospectus is

PART I.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
Certain information and footnote disclosures required under generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from the following consolidated
financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. International Fight League, Inc. (the registrant, the Company,
IFL, we, us, or our) believes that the disclosures are adequate to assure that
the information presented is not misleading in any material respect. The following
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
year-end consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year, or
any other period. As previously reported, on September 15, 2008, our wholly-owned
subsidiary, IFL Corp. (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).
All of our operations were transacted through IFLC, which has ceased operations and,
subsequent to September 30, 2008, sold substantially all of its assets pursuant to a
sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, this report and the
condensed consolidated financial statements presented below should be read in conjunction
with these developments.
When we refer to our fiscal year in this report, we are referring to the fiscal
year ended on December 31 of that year. Thus, we are currently operating in our
fiscal 2008 year, which commenced on January 1, 2008. Unless the context expressly
indicates a contrary intention, all references to years in this filing are to our
fiscal years.

INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE, INC
and Subsidiary (formerly International Fight League, LLC)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1CESSATION OF OPERATIONS AND CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY FILING
During the three month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company ceased its
operations and on September 15, 2008, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, IFL Corp.
(IFLC), through which the Company conducted it operations, 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). Under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, various types of claims against IFLC in existence at the
time of the filing of the bankruptcy petition are stayed under the Bankruptcy Code while IFLC
continues to operate its business as a debtor-in-possession. These claims are reflected in the
September 30, 2008 balance sheet as liabilities subject to compromise. Additional claims against
IFLC may arise subsequent to the bankruptcy filing that are also subject to compromise, such as
claims resulting from the rejection of executory contracts, allowed claims for contingencies or
disputed amounts, and other claims determined by the Court. On November 17, 2008, IFLC sold substantially all of its
assets to HDNet LLC pursuant to a sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code
which was approved by the Court on October 28, 2008. See Note 3 below. IFLC plans
to file a plan of liquidation with the Court to pay off creditors and to orderly
wind down its affairs.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared assuming the Company (the parent company, International Fight League, Inc.) will continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2008,
the Company had cash of $360,000, had an accumulated deficit of $36,956,000 and, for
the nine months then ended September 30, 2008, incurred a net loss of $6,053,000.
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 unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION
Prior to November 29, 2006, the Company was known as Paligent Inc., a Delaware
corporation (Paligent). On November 29, 2006, the Company acquired IFLC, then called
International Fight League, Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation, pursuant to an
agreement and plan of merger, dated as of August 25, 2006, as amended (the Merger
Agreement), among the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary (Merger Sub), and IFLC,
providing for the merger of Merger Sub and IFLC, with IFLC being the surviving
corporation and becoming the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary (the Merger). Immediately
following the Merger, the Company changed its name to International Fight League, Inc.
(IFL or collectively, the Company), and IFLC changed its name to IFL Corp. and
continued to operate its business of organizing and promoting a mixed martial arts
(MMA) sports league under the name International Fight League.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the
accounts of IFL and IFLC. 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.
In 2007, the Company organized, hosted and promoted a significantly greater number
of live and televised MMA sporting events during the first half of our fiscal year
than during the second half of our fiscal year. Since the Company generally incurs
most of its costs in connection with such events, our expenses were significantly
higher during the first half of 2007 than in the last six months of 2007. During
the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company ceased its operations and on
September 15, 2008, IFLC voluntarily filed a petition for reorganization relief under
chapter 11 of Bankruptcy Code. All of the Companys operations were
transacted through IFLC, and IFLC owned substantially
all of the Companys assets. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, IFLC sold
substantially all of its assets pursuant to a sale under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code. See Note 3 below.

INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE, INC
and Subsidiary (formerly International Fight League, LLC)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Companys condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year and should be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2007 in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K and the
disclosures set forth in this report.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7: Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code.
NOTE 3AGREEMENT TO SELL ASSETS AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On September 19, 2008, IFLC filed with the Court a motion for orders (a)
authorizing IFLC to sell all or substantially all of its assets to HDNet LLC
(HDNet), subject to higher and better offers, (b) approving bid procedures, (c)
scheduling auction and sale hearing and (d) granting related relief (the Sale
Motion). In connection with the Sale Motion, on September 19, 2008, IFLC and HDNet
entered into an asset purchase agreement (the Asset Purchase Agreement), which
provided for the sale of substantially all of IFLCs assets (the Purchased Assets)
to HDNet for total consideration of $650,000 in cash and the assumption by HDNet of
certain liabilities of IFLC. The Asset Purchase Agreement was subject to higher and
better offers as set forth in the Sale Motion. The Court granted the Sale Motion on
October 10, 2008.
On October 28, 2008, the Court held a hearing on the auction and sale of the
Purchased Assets as contemplated by the Sale Motion and entered an order (Sale
Order) authorizing IFLC to sell the Purchased Assets to HDNet for total consideration
of $650,000 in cash and the assumption by HDNet of certain liabilities of IFLC, as
set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The closing took place on November 17, 2008,
pursuant to which IFLC transferred to HDNet the Purchased Assets, and HDNet paid
$650,000 in cash to IFLC and assumed certain liabilities of IFLC. The Company will
recognize a gain on the sale of the Purchased Assets in the quarter ending December
31, 2008.
The Purchased Assets included the name International Fight League, the Companys
corporate name. The Company has entered into a name use agreement with HDNet which
will permit the Company to continue using International Fight League for general
corporate purposes until the earlier of (a) two years or (b) the Company becoming
involved in any active trade or business (other than the use of the name for general
corporate purposes).
NOTE 4 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157),
which did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial
statements. SFAS 157 establishes a common definition for fair value, a framework for
measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(GAAP), and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2,
which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonrecurring fair value
measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating the expected impact of
SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on its consolidated
financial position and results of operations.
In October 2008 the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. FSP No. 157-3
clarifies the application of SFAS. 157 in a market that is not active and provides
an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a
financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP No. 157-3
is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have
not been issued. Revisions resulting from a change in the valuation technique or its
application should be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate following the
guidance in SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. FSP No. 157-3 is
effective for the consolidated financial statements included in the
Companys quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2008, and application of
FSP No. 157-3 had no impact on the Companys 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
8
INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE, INC
and Subsidiary (formerly International Fight League, LLC)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December
15, 2008 with earlier adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact adoption of SFAS 160 may have 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 Company is currently evaluating the impact
adoption of SFAS 141(R) may have on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued 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 Company is currently
evaluating the impact adoption of SFAS 161 may have on the consolidated financial
statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). The new standard is intended to improve financial
reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting
principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in
conformity with GAAP for nongovernmental entities. Prior to the issuance of SFAS 162,
GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 69, The Meaning of Present
Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SAS No. 69 has
been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity. SFAS
162 addresses these issues by establishing that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed
to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for
selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity
with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning
of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. It is
only effective for nongovernmental entities; therefore, the GAAP hierarchy will remain
in SAS No. 69 for state and local governmental entities and federal governmental
entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact adoption of SFAS 162 may have
on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008 the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No.
03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities. 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. 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 EITF 03-6-1. Management is currently
evaluating the requirements of EITF 03-6-1 and has not yet determined the impact on
the Companys consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 5LOSS 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 net income (loss) applicable
9
INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE, INC
and Subsidiary (formerly International Fight League, LLC)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 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 September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Companys common stock equivalents include
stock options outstanding of 2,661,209 and 3,097,372 and warrants outstanding of
14,544,513 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 net loss per common share.
NOTE 6INCOME TAXES
The Company files a federal U.S. income tax return and income tax returns in
certain states and cities. Tax returns for the years 2006 through 2007 remain open
for examination in various tax jurisdictions in which the Company or its subsidiaries
operate. 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
September 30, 2008, there were no unrecognized tax benefits. Interest and penalties
related to uncertain tax positions will be recognized in income tax expense. As of
September 30, 2008, no interest related to uncertain tax positions had been accrued.
NOTE 7RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain business transactions are transacted among the Company and two business
ventures that are controlled by the Companys former Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, Gareb Shamus. Typically, the Company reimbursed these related companies for
charges incurred and advances made on the Companys behalf. Further, the Company
purchases certain goods and services from these related companies. The Company had no
such transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and had
transactions in the amounts of $73,400 and $654,000 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2007, respectively. There were no amounts outstanding related to
these transactions at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company paid amounts to a
company controlled by its former President and Chief Executive Officer, Jay Larkin, for
consulting services provided to the Company prior to Mr. Larkins employment with the
Company. The total amounts paid by the Company for these services and reimbursement of
related expenses were $20,000 and $136,500 for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007. No such amounts have been
paid after Mr. Larkin commenced his employment with the Company in September 2007.
The Company also paid amounts to a company controlled by a family member of Kurt
Otto, a former director and former commissioner, for logistical and consulting
services. The amounts paid were $0 and $5,200 during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and $22,400 and $70,800 during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007.
In connection with IFLCs lease of the New York City headquarters in August 2006,
the Companys former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer executed an unconditional and
irrevocable guaranty of IFLCs obligations under the lease. This lease was terminated
effective July 31, 2008 and the guaranty released (see Note 14).

INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE, INC
and Subsidiary (formerly International Fight League, LLC)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 8STOCK 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 Bulletins (SAB) No.
107 and No. 110, Share-Based Payment. 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 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).
On February 8, 2008 the Company granted 250,000 options to its former President
and Interim Chief Executive Officer, Jay Larkin (see Note 12 below). The options were
scheduled to vest 1/12 upon the grant of the award, 1/12 on March 21, 2008 and 1/12
every three months thereafter and have an exercise price of $0.12. On November 10,
2008, Mr. Larkin and the Company entered into an agreement to terminate Mr. Larkins
employment with the Company, which also provided for the termination of all of his
options, vested and unvested.
In addition, on February 8, 2008, the Company granted 20,000 options to an
employee. The options were scheduled to vest 1/2 in April 2008 and 1/6 every six
months thereafter and have an exercise price of $0.12. In July 2008, the employee was
terminated and forfeited 10,000 unvested options and had three months from the date
of termination to exercise the 10,000 vested options, which were not exercised and
have been cancelled.
The fair value of the February 8, 2008 option awards were estimated on the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that used the assumptions noted
in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the Companys trading history
from the merger date (November 30, 2006). The expected term of the February 8, 2008
options represents the estimate of time to exercise, since there is no employment
history to consider. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the options is based
on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE, INC
and Subsidiary (formerly International Fight League, LLC)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
In connection with grants of options issued under the Plan, compensation costs of
$61,000 and $188,000 were charged against operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2008, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2007, compensation costs of $13,000 and $43,000 were charged to operations,
respectively.
During the three month period ended September 30, 2008, six employees and one
independent contractor who were granted a total of 489,730 options were terminated.
These individuals were vested in 351,869 options and therefore forfeited 127,861 options
upon termination. The 351,869 vested options expire from October 3, 2008 to November
8, 2008. See Note 12.
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.
The Company granted one award of 125,000 shares of restricted stock on May 22,
2007 to its Executive Vice President and acting Principal Financial Officer, with an
aggregate fair value of $381,000, of which $48,000 and $143,000 were recognized as
compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008,
respectively. No shares have been forfeited and 93,750 of the shares were vested as
of September 30, 2008. No other restricted stock awards were granted or were
outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 or 2007.
As of September 30, 2008, the remaining unamortized balance of $143,099 for this award is included in prepaid expenses.
NOTE 9 WARRANTS
The Company has issued and outstanding a total of 14,544,513 warrants to purchase
common stock at prices ranging from $.30 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 568,333 outstanding warrants were issued in the quarter ended June 30, 2007
as incentive compensation to league coaches and as compensation to a consultant to the
Company, of which 418,333 were vested as of September 30, 2008. In connection with
these 568,333 warrants, costs of $32,000 and $142,000 were recorded for the three and
nine months ended September
30, 2008, respectively, all of which was included in share-based compensation.
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded
costs of $328,000 related to these warrants, of which $139,000 was recorded as
share-based compensation and $189,000 was recorded as selling, general and administrative
expenses.
NOTE 10TELEVISION RIGHTS AGREEMENTS
On January 31, 2008, the Company entered into a Production and Distribution
Agreement with HDNet. Under this agreement, HDNet agreed to broadcast live three events
scheduled for February 29, April 4 and May 16, 2008 and to provide certain
production costs. In addition, if HDNet should decide to exploit the programming for
these events by pay-per-view, which it has not yet done, HDNet will pay the Company
forty percent (40%) of the adjusted gross revenue, as defined in the agreement, for
the production and broadcasting of these three events within thirty days of HDNets
receipt of payment from third party distributors. The Company did not recognize any
television rights revenue for this agreement with HDNet during the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2008.
On March 20, 2008, the Company entered into a letter agreement with National
Sports Programming, owner and operator of Fox Sports Net programming service (FSN)
which set forth certain terms and conditions under which FSN is broadcasting nine
fully produced and broadcast quality sixty-minute episodes. The episodes highlight action
from events held on February 29, April 4 and May 16, 2008. FSN paid the Company a
license fee of $20,000 per episode for each of the nine episodes delivered and
accepted pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

(Unaudited)
The agreement also provides certain
telecast rights to FSN for each episode along with certain other previously held
events. This agreement supersedes the previous letter of intent agreement dated January
15, 2007.
The Company recognized $40,000 and $180,000 of television rights revenue from this
agreement with FSN during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008.
Both of these agreements have been transferred to HDNet on November 17, 2008 as
part of the sale by IFLC of substantially all of its assets to HDNet.
NOTE 11 TERMINATION OF CONTRACTS
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, IFLC terminated
contracts prior to the filing of bankruptcy with licensees, sponsors and other vendors
related to the cancellation of its MMA events and the cessation of its operations.
IFLC entered into agreements with these parties to release each party from any further
obligations and paid a total of $42,000 and $93,000 for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2008 in connection with these releases. No further expenses
are expected related to these contracts.
NOTE 12TERMINATION OF EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS
On May 30, 2008, Mr. Kurt Otto voluntarily resigned from the Companys Board of
Directors.
In connection with ceasing its operations, the Company entered into general release
agreements with 17 employees as of September 30, 2008, nine of which were entered
into during the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The release agreements
specify certain severance payments as well a full payment of any unpaid wages,
commissions, bonuses, vacation pay, employee benefits or other compensation or payments
of any other kind of nature as part of the release. The Company has recorded $54,000
and $114,000 of compensation expenses related to the releases for these employees for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. No further expenses are expected
for these terminated employees.
On November 10, 2008, the Company and Jay Larkin, the Companys President and
acting Chief Executive Officer, entered into an agreement providing for Mr. Larkins
resignation of his positions and employment with the Company, effective November 1,
2008. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Larkin a one-time
payment for $20,000 and will also be paying the premiums for medical insurance
coverage for Mr. Larkin until the earlier of April 30, 2009 or the date on which
Mr. Larkin becomes eligible for group medical insurance through an employer or
professional affiliation other than the Company. As part of the agreement, all of Mr.
Larkins stock options for the Companys stock automatically terminated. The agreement
also has customary terms regarding confidentiality, cooperation, release of claims and
covenants not to sue. The Company recognized a charge to compensation expense for the
three month period ended September 30, 2008 of $20,000 for its agreement with Mr.
Larkin, which is in addition to the charges referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph.
In connection with the termination of Mr. Larkin, Michael Keefe, the Companys
Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Acting Chief Financial Officer, has been
appointed President, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel of the Company.
NOTE 13COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of September 30, 2008, IFLC was a party to six coach agreements or team
manager agreements, with terms ranging from December 31, 2008 to January 2, 2013. The
total remaining payments under these agreements is $1,208,000. These agreements provide
for semi-monthly payments, and IFLC has not made payments on these agreements since
June 15, 2008 as a result of the cancellation of its MMA events and the cessation
of its operations. The financial statements reflect an accrual of payments due under
these contracts through September 30, 2008. The amounts that may ultimately be paid to
these coaches will depend upon IFLCs plan of reorganization in its bankruptcy case.

INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE, INC
and Subsidiary (formerly International Fight League, LLC)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Companys employment agreement with its current President and Chief Financial
Officer, Mr. Keefe, provides for severance benefits of 6 months of salary ($20,000 per
month) if he is terminated without cause, and one of the Companys other remaining
employees is entitled to severance of $33,000 if his employment is terminated.
NOTE 14TERMINATION OF REAL ESTATE LEASE
On July 22, 2008, IFLC terminated its lease agreement for its principal office
space located in New York City effective July 31, 2008. This operating lease commenced
on September 1, 2006 and was scheduled to expire on August 31, 2010. As part of
the termination, IFLC paid the landlord a $50,000 termination fee which was made up
of $32,000 of unpaid rent for June and July 2008 and $18,000 of restoration costs.
In addition, IFLCs security deposit of $107,000 was assigned to the landlord. The
termination releases all parties including the guarantor of the lease of any future
obligations. IFLC also closed its Las Vegas, Nevada office in July 2008, and the
lease for that office expires December 2008.
In connection with the move to New Jersey and the closing of the New York and
Las Vegas offices, the Company incurred a charge for the net losses or write downs
of leasehold improvements and office furniture and equipment of $136,000. Effective
August 1, 2008, the Company moved into office space in Rutherford, New Jersey pursuant
to a month-to-month lease for rent of $900 per month and paid a security deposit of
$1,800 during the three month period ended September 30, 2008.
NOTE 15RETENTION OF ADVISORS
On July 21, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant to
provide financial and business advisory services to assist the Company in exploring its
options or maximize the value of the Company and to assist IFLC in the sale of its
assets in bankruptcy. The original term of the agreement was thirty days beginning on
July 21, 2008 and has been extended through the bankruptcy proceeding of IFLC. IFLC
paid fees of $35,000 for services during the three months ended September 30, 2008,
all of which was charged to reorganization expenses (professional fees) during the
period. IFLC will also pay a bonus of $25,000 to the consultant for the sale of its
assets to HDNet pursuant to the bankruptcy proceeding.

documents and perform other acts appropriate in assisting IFLC to seek protection from
its creditors through its bankruptcy proceeding. IFLC paid a retainer of $250,000 to
this law firm in July 2008, all of which was charged to reorganization expenses (professional fees) during the three month period ended September 30, 2008.

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, 2008. 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, 2007.
Bankruptcy 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 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 pursuant to a sale under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code which was approved by the Bankruptcy 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 essentially a shell corporation. 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 would
deem to be suitable acquisition candidates. To date, no such acquisition or merger
proposal has been identified.
We will continue to incur ongoing losses, which are expected to be greatly
reduced due to the substantially 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 general liability, 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 our remaining 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
Purchased Assets included the name International Fight League, our corporate name. We
have entered into a name use agreement with HDNet which will permit us to continue
using 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 corporate purposes).
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, pursuant to an
agreement and plan of merger, dated as of August 25, 2006, as amended (the Merger
15
Agreement), by and among us, our wholly owned subsidiary (Merger Sub), and IFLC,
providing for the merger of Merger Sub and IFLC, with IFLC being the surviving
corporation and becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary (the Merger). 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 of America. Reported results of operations
of the combined group reflect the operations of the Company and IFLC.
IFLCs predecessor, International Fight League, LLC (the LLC), was organized on
March 29, 2005 as a New Jersey limited liability company. On January 11, 2006, the
LLC merged into IFLC, whereupon the existence of the LLC ceased, and at which time
the members of the LLC received an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of IFLC common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in exchange for their membership interests in the
LLC. IFLC operated as a development stage enterprise through March 31, 2006.
Results of Operations
From inception through September 30, 2008, we have incurred costs and expenses
significantly in excess of revenues. On September 15, 2008, our wholly-owned subsidiary,
IFLC, through which we conducted our operations and which owned substantially all of
our assets, voluntarily filed a petition for reorganization relief under chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code in the Court. On November 17, 2008, IFLC sold substantially all of
its assets to HDNet pursuant to a sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code
which was approved by the Court on October 28, 2008. Furthermore, we have terminated
all but three of our employees and have no business assets or business operations and
no future source of revenues. Accordingly, a comparison with prior periods is not
meaningful and is not included. Similarly, an analysis of the nine month period ended
September 30, 2008 is not relevant because the Company had operations during the first
six months of 2008, but ceased operations during the quarter ended September 30,
2008. Therefore, the foregoing discussion and analysis is for the three month period
ended September 30, 2008 only.
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, IFL incurred a net loss of
$1.3 million, or $0.02 per common share. During the period, we had revenues of
$133,000, which consisted primarily of the final $40,000 of television rights revenue
from our agreement with FSN and $78,000 of international television rights revenue
under our agreement with Alfred Haber Distribution, Inc. All future international
television rights revenue has been assigned to HDNet pursuant to the sale of
substantially all of our assets to HDNet.
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, cost of revenues was $161,000,
consisting primarily of accrued fees under team manager agreements and some residual
costs of our final event in May 2008 and television production costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $843,000. The primary components of these
expenses were $148,000 in
real estate lease costs, including costs to terminate the lease in New York, $357,000
of payroll and benefits costs, including $74,000 of employee
severance costs, $94,000
of professional fees for legal, accounting, SEC filing and financial
advisory fees, $42,000 of costs for contract terminations and $151,000 of net loss
and write downs of leasehold improvements and office furniture and equipment.
Share-based Compensation:
Share-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was
$141,000.
Reorganization Expenses:
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we paid $285,000 of professional fees in connection with the chapter 11 reorganization of IFLC, consisting of $250,000 in legal fees
and $35,000 of financial advisory fees. All of these amounts have
been charged to reorganization expenses (professional fees) during
the period.
16
Other Income (Expense):
During the three months ended September 30, 2008 interest income of $3,000 was
earned on available cash balances.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
At
September 30, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents were $360,000.
On November 17,
2008, we received $650,000 from the sale of substantially all of our assets to
HDNet. The cash proceeds from the sale to HDNet as well as the cash balances held
by IFLC as of September 30, 2008 of $114,000 must be used to satisfy all of the
claims in the IFLC bankruptcy proceedings, including all costs to administer the case,
and none of this cash may be available for us as the parent company. As of
September 30, 2008, we the parent company had a separate cash balance of $247,000.
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. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2008, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedure Under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date).
Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and
procedures were adequate and effective such that the information relating to us,
including our consolidated subsidiary, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is
(1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
SEC rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our principal executive and principal financial officers as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Due to the inherent limitations
of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty
and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Any system of
controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can at best provide
only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the system are met and management
necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. Additionally, controls can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more
people, or by management override of the control. Our controls and procedures are
intended to provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives
have been met.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have been no changes
in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30,
2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On September 15, 2008, our wholly-owned subsidiary, IFLC, through which we
conducted our operations, 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. IFLCs bankruptcy case is docketed as In re IFL Corp.,
Case No. 08-13589 (MG). .
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the risk factors that were previously
disclosed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of Part I of the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 except as follows:
On September 15, 2008, IFL Corp. (IFLC), our wholly-owned subsidiary, filed a
voluntary petition for reorganization relief under chapter 11 of the United
States 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) for $650,000 in cash and the assumption by HDNet of certain
liabilities of IFLC. This sale to HDNet was approved by the Court on October
28, 2008. IFLC was our operating subsidiary which owned substantially all of our
assets and operations and through which we conducted substantially all of our
business. Accordingly, we no longer have any material assets, other than cash,
and have no business operations and are essentially a shell company.
We are exploring options to realize value for our stockholders, which may
include seeking a reverse merger transaction with a party with ongoing
operations. However, we may be unable to find any alternatives or options to
realize any value for our stockholders and may not be able to enter into a
reverse merger transaction. 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. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
