USCorp
(an Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008
| 1. | Organization of the Company and Significant Accounting Principles |
USCorp (the “Company”) is a publicly held corporation formed in May 1989 in the state of Nevada. In April 2002 the Company acquired US Metals, Inc. (“USMetals”), a Nevada corporation, by issuing 24,200,000 shares of common stock. US Metals became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Company now owns the mineral rights to 172 Lode and Placer Mining Claims in the Eureka Mining District of Yavapai County, Arizona, called the Twin Peaks Project; and owns the mineral rights to 235 Placer and Lode Claims on five properties in the Mesquite Mining District of Imperial County, California, which the Company collectively refers to as the Picacho Salton Project.
The Company has no revenues to date and has defined itself as an “exploration stage” company.
Exploration Stage Company- the Company has no operations or revenues since its inception and therefore qualifies for treatment as an Exploration Stage company as per Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7. As per SFAS No.7, financial transactions are accounted for as per generally accepted accounted principles. Costs incurred during the development stage are accumulated in “accumulated deficit- exploration stage” and are reported in the Stockholders’ Equity section of the balance sheet.
Consolidation- the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates- The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses at the date of the financial statements and for the period they include. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Cash and interest bearing deposits- For the purpose of calculating changes in cash flows, cash includes all cash balances and highly liquid short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Long Lived Assets- The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.
Property and Equipment- Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is estimated at three years.
Income taxes- The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Statement of Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable income or deductible expenses in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets and liabilities to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period adjusted for the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Mineral Properties- Costs incurred to acquire mineral interest in properties, to drill and equip exploratory sites within the claims groups, to conduct exploration and assay work are expensed as incurred.
11
Revenue Recognition- Mineral sales will result from undivided interests held by the Company in mineral properties. Sales of minerals will be recognized when delivered to be picked up by the purchaser. Mineral sales from marketing activities will result from sales by the Company of minerals produced by the Company (or affiliated entities) and will be recognized when delivered to purchasers. Mining revenues generated from the Company’s day rate contracts, included in mine services revenue, will be recognized as services are performed or delivered.
| 2. | Going Concern |
The accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements have been presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which assume the continuity of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and has no business operations and continues to rely on financing and the issuance of shares and warrants to raise capital to fund its business operations.
Management’s plans with regard to this matter are as follows:
* Obtain the necessary approvals and permits to complete exploration and begin test production before the start of commercial production on our properties as warranted. An application for drilling on Picacho Salton Project has been submitted to the Bureau of Land Management and is being reviewed by them. Approval is expected and drilling should begin in June 2009.
* USCorp plans to begin commercial scale operations on one or more of its properties as soon as the required permits and approvals have been granted. Management plans to apply for approval to begin commercial scale operations on both the Twin Peaks Project and Picacho Salton Project properties; whichever project is permitted first will be developed first.
* Continue exploration and ramp up permitting process to meet ongoing and anticipated demand for gold, silver, uranium, aggregate, decorative rock and polymetalic ores resulting from our planned commercial scale production activities.
* Augment our mining exploration team with quality and results-oriented people as needed. Upon adequate funding management intends to hire qualified and experienced personnel, including additional officers and directors, and mining specialists, professionals and consulting firms to advise management as needed to handle mining operations, acquisitions and development of existing and future mineral resource properties.
* Put together a strategic alliance of consultants, engineers, contractors as well as joint venture partners when appropriate, and set up an information and communication network that allows the alliance to function effectively under USCorp's management.
* Attend and exhibit at industry and investment trade shows and road shows.
* Acquire additional properties and/or corporations with properties as subsidiaries to advance the company's growth plans.
* Acquire additional fully permitted or producing properties and/or corporations with properties as subsidiaries to advance the company's growth plans.
3. Net Loss per Share
The Company applies SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share” to calculate loss per share. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per share has been computed based on the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the years, adjusted for the financial instruments outstanding that are convertible into common stock during the years. The effects of the preferred and common stock warrants and the debentures convertible into shares of common stock, however, have been excluded from the calculation of loss per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Net loss per share is computed as follows:
12
| 3/31/2009 | 3/31/2008 | |||||||
| Net loss before cumulative preferred dividend | $ | (813,986 | ) | $ | (963,608 | ) | ||
| Cumulative dividend preferred | (30,599 | ) | (28,211 | ) | ||||
| Net loss | $ | (844,585 | ) | $ | (991,819 | ) | ||
| Weighted average | 63,915,751 | 50,636,908 | ||||||
| Basic & fully diluted net loss per common share | $ | (0.01 | ) | $ | (0.02 | ) | ||
4. Gold Bullion Promissory Note
In September 2005, the Company issued a promissory note to a shareholder and received proceeds of $648,282. The note requires the Company to pay the shareholder 1,634 ounces of Gold Bullion (.999 pure) in September 2009. In September 2007, the holder of the promissory note extended the maturity date until September 27, 2009 at the previous terms. The loss on the underlying derivative gold contract has been calculated as follows.
| Carrying value of loan | $ | 836,445 | ||
| Fair value of loan | 1,507,528 | |||
| Life to date loss on unhedged underlying derivative | $ | (671,083 | ) |
5. Equipment

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and the other financial data appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
The information set forth in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, among others (i) expected changes in the Company’s revenues and profitability, (ii) prospective business opportunities and (iii) the Company’s strategy for financing its business. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by use of terms such as "believes", "anticipates", "intends" or "expects". These forward-looking statements relate to the plans, objectives and expectations of the Company for future operations. Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, in light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all future projections, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this report should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved.
The Company’s revenues and results of operations could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) changes in external competitive market factors, (ii) termination of certain operating agreements or inability to enter into additional operating agreements, (iii) inability to satisfy anticipated working capital or other cash requirements, (iv) changes in or developments under domestic or foreign laws, regulations, governmental requirements or in the mining industry, (v) changes in the Company’s business strategy or an inability to execute its strategy due to unanticipated changes in the market, (vi) various competitive factors that may prevent the Company from competing successfully in the marketplace, and (ix) the Company’s lack of liquidity and its ability to raise additional capital. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly the results of any future revisions it may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to reserves and intangible assets. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experiences and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets which are not readily apparent from other sources, primarily allowance for the cost of the Mineral Properties based on the successful efforts method of accounting. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form l0-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.

Results of Operations
Comparison of operating results:
The Company has no revenues through the date of this report.
General and administrative expenses were $304,171 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $229,557 for the same period a year ago. Consulting costs decreased from $105,497 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $78,681 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 which is mainly due to investor and public relations costs. Administration costs increased from $126,443 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $200,095 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to increases in clerical help, office staff and salaried employees.
As a result of general and administrative costs, the Company experienced a loss from operations of $406,999 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to loss from operations of $326,476 for the same period last year.
Interest expense decreased to -$125,423 during the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to -$243,029 the first six months of fiscal year 2008 as a result of the effect on the Gold Bullion Loan borrowed at the end of September 2005 and the change in the price of gold compared to the same period one year ago. The loan is payable in gold bullion at the prevailing rate price and is not hedged. The Company’s loss on the unhedged loan is $33,729 for the first six months of fiscal year 2009 due to the change in the price of gold over the period.
Net loss for the first six months of fiscal year 2009 was $813,986, or $0.01 per share compared to a loss of $963,608, or $0.02 per share for the same period last year.
Discussion of Financial Condition: Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2009 cash on hand was $313,814 as compared with $478,843 at September 30, 2008. During the first six months of fiscal year 2009, the Company used $655,466 for its operations.
At March 31, 2009, the Company had working capital of $477,828 compared to a working capital of $478,843at September 30, 2008. The decrease is due to costs of continuing exploration and preparations for development of Company’s mining properties offset by the Company’s on-going successful financing efforts.
Total assets at March 31, 2009 were $315,351 as compared to $482,033 at September 30, 2008. The small decrease is due to costs of continuing exploration and preparations for development of Company’s mining properties offset by the Company’s on-going successful financing efforts.
The Company’s total stockholders’ deficit increased to a deficit of $2,200,582 at March 31, 2009 compared to a deficit of 1,692,387 at September 30, 2008. The increase in stockholders’ deficit was the result of an increase in additional paid in capital and operating losses of $813,986 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
