Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011

 

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 USMetals, Inc. (“USMetals”), a Nevada corporation, and its 141 unpatented mining claims known as the Twin Peaks Project in Yavapai County Arizona. The Twin Peaks Project now consists of 268 unpatented Lode and 8 Placer Claims. In addition, The Company, through its subsidiary Southwest Resource Development, Inc., owns 200 unpatented Lode and Placer Claims on five properties in the Mesquite Mining District of Imperial County, California, which the Company collectively refers to as the Picacho Salton Project.

 

In April 2002 the Company acquired USMetals, Inc. (“USMetals”), a Nevada corporation, by issuing 24,200,000 shares of common stock. USMetals became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

On March 22, 2011 the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary USMetals entered into an Asset Funding/Operation and Shareholders Agreement, and exhibits thereto with Arizona Gold Corp., a private British Columbia Corporation (“AGC”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, AGC Corp, a private Arizona company (“AGCAZ”), providing for the sale of 172 Arizona mining claims known as the Twin Peaks Project to AGCAZ in exchange for 90,200,000 shares or 61.34% of AGC’s common stock . The Twin Peaks Project now consists of 268 Lode and 8 Placer Claims.

 

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 the accounting guidance. 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’ Deficit section of the balance sheet.

 

Consolidation- the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. 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- 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 on equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is estimated at three years.

 

10
 

 

Income taxes- The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which 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 the consolidated 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.

 

The Company follows the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 740, Income Taxes . Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. It also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of September 30, 2011, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. All tax returns from tax years 2007 to 2010 are subject to IRS audit.

 

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.

 

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 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 revenues and continues to rely on 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 on our properties as warranted. An application for drilling on Picacho Salton Project has been submitted by us to the Bureau of Land Management and is being reviewed by them. A drilling plan for the newly-expanded Twin Peaks Project was approved and commenced in November 2011 it was completed in March 2012.

 

* Receive BLM permit for Picacho Salton Project in California; Drill the Picacho Salton Project.

 

* Receive and analyze the Twin Peaks assays and drill reports and Picacho Salton assays and drill reports;

 

* Review the results of the drilling programs on each of the sites when completed . After consideration of the nature of the ore bodies of the properties, Management will make decisions regarding further development of the properties, including beginning commercial scale operations when exploration is completed on the Twin Peaks Project and the Picacho Salton Project.

 

* Continue exploration and ramp up transitioning to development and production in order to meet ongoing and anticipated demand for gold and silver.

 

* Continue to augment our mining exploration team and strategic business relationships with quality and results-oriented people as needed: professionals and consulting firms to advise management to handle mining operations, acquisitions and development of existing and future mineral resource properties.

 

11
 

 

* Continue to recruit strategic business alliances with 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 to develop the properties.

 

* Draw up and Submit to the BLM the final Mining Plan of Operations ("MPO") for the Twin Peaks; Submit the MPO to the BLM;

 

* Submit the Final MPO on the Picacho Salton Project to the BLM.

 

* Begin commercial scale operations on one or more of the properties as soon as the required permits and approvals have been granted, or be acquired by a major gold mining company.

 

* Continue to acquire additional properties and/or from strategic business relationships with corporations with properties as joint ventures or subsidiaries in order to advance the company’s growth plans.

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 2,507 ounces of Gold Bullion (.999 pure). Originally, the promissory note came due in September 2007. Subsequently, the holder of the note extending the maturity date on an informal ongoing basis. The loan had been in default but the maturity debt was extended to March 2012 in exchange for 3,200,000 shares of common stock. The Company continues to accrue interest and to calculate the loan at fair value.

 

The loss on the underlying gold derivative on the promissory note has been calculated as follows.

 

Carrying value of loan   $ 1,008,231  
Fair value of loan     4,169,141  
         
Life to date loss on unhedged underlying derivative   $ (3,160,910 )

 

The holder of the Gold Bullion Loan has agreed to extend the loan in exchange for a partial payment of interest comprised of a combination of cash and stock. As of this writing, the exact terms are still being negotiated. The Company plans to issue a press release and file a report on Form 8-K when the final terms of the extension have been agreed upon by all parties. (See Subsequent Events Below)

9.  Net Loss per Share

 

The Company applies ASC 260, “ Earnings per Share” to calculate loss per share. In accordance with ASC 260, 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 common stock options 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:

 

    31-Mar-12     31-Mar-11  
             
Net loss before cumulative preferred dividend   $ (2,442,867 )   $ (937,473 )
                 
Cumulative dividend preferred payable     (53,016 )     (45,912 )
                 
Net loss to common shareholders   $ (2,495,883 )   $ (983,385 )
                 
Weighted average     213,591,938       151,292,251  
                 
Basic & fully diluted net loss per common share   $ (0.01 )   $ (0.01 )

10.  Subsequent Events

 

Extension of the Gold Bullion Loan. The holder of the Gold Bullion Loan has agreed to extend the loan that was due on March 31, 2012 in exchange for a partial payment of interest comprised of a combination of cash and stock. As of this writing, the exact terms are still being negotiated. The Company plans to issue a press release and file a report on Form 8-K when the final terms of the extension have been agreed upon by all parties.

 

Issuances of Common Stock. As of May 14, 2012 the Company has issued 33,813,332 shares of common stock since the end of the quarter covered in this report as follows: 1,280,000 shares were issued for services rendered and are valued at $65,200; 32,533,332 shares were issued to holders of warrants with proceeds to the Company of $207,069.

 

11. Mineral Property Expenditures

 

Mineral Property Expenditures were formerly labeled License & claim development expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. With the advent of XBRL tagging of line items (providing a link to a definition of the item) the definition assigned to this item was incorrectly based on the term “License” in the label. It stated: “Costs incurred and are directly related to generating license revenue. Licensing arrangements include, but are not limited to rights to use a patent, copyright, technology, manufacturing process, software or trademark.” USCorp does not have any licensing arrangements of any kind. In order to accurately reflect that line in our financials we have changed the label and have assigned the following definition to it: “Exploration expenses, including prospecting would be included in operating expenses. Exploration costs include costs incurred in identifying areas that may warrant examination and in examining, drilling and related activities in specific areas that are considered to have prospects of mineralization.”

 

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 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and the other financial data appearing elsewhere in this 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 21 E 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 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011:

 

The Company has no revenues through the date of this report.

 

General and administrative expenses were $680,713 compared to $417,024 for the same period a year ago. Consulting costs decreased from $298,199 to $161,713 in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period last year, which is mainly due to a decrease in investor and public relations costs. Administration costs increased from $105,085 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $178,392 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 due to increased costs for clerical help, office staff, the value of payments for professional services with Registered S-8 shares, and the difference between the capitalization received as a result of investors exercising their warrants and the value of shares issued when the warrants were exercised by investors during the period. Mineral Property Expenditures (formerly labeled License and claim development expenses, see Note 11 to the financials) were $221,067 in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $0 the same period last year due to costs associated with increasing the number of claims and conducting the drilling program recently completed at the company’s Twin Peaks project site in Arizona.

 

As a result of general and administrative costs, the Company experienced a loss from operations of $680,713 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to loss from operations of $417,024 for the same period last year.

 

Interest expense decreased to ($72,048) during the first three months of fiscal 2010 compared to ($6) the first three months of fiscal year 2011 as a result of 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 price and is not hedged. The Company’s loss on the unhedged loan is $206,353 for the second three months of fiscal year 2012 compared to a loss of ($66,630) for the same period a year ago due to the change in the price of gold over the past year.

 

Net loss for the second three months of fiscal year 2012 was ($1,745,220) or $0.01 per share compared to a loss of ($483,660), or $0.00 per share for the same period last year.

 

Discussion of Financial Condition: Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2011 cash on hand was $1,318,281 as compared with $1,686,996 at September 30, 2011. During the first three months of fiscal year 2012, the Company used $640,243 for its operations compared to $182,322 for the first three months of fiscal 2010.

 

At March 31, 2012, the Company had working capital of $989,853 compared to a working capital of $1,686,996 at September 30, 2011. 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 financing efforts.

 

Total assets at March 31, 2012 were $1,002,932 as compared to $1,829,340 at September 30, 2011. 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 financing efforts.

The Company’s total stockholders’ deficit increased to a deficit of $3,581,472 at March 31, 2011 compared to a deficit of $3,064,601 at September 30, 2011. The increase in stockholders’ deficit was the result of an increase in additional paid in capital and operating losses of $1,432,944 for the six months ended March 31, 2011 due to costs for exploration of the Twin Peaks project, clerical help, office staff, the value of payments for professional services with Registered S-8 shares, and the difference between the capitalization received as a result of investors exercising their warrants and the value of shares issued when the warrants were exercised by investors during the period.
