Mineral Properties, page 33

Comment 2. In response to comment eight from our letter dated February 5, 2005, you propose to revise your accounting policy disclosure to state "Costs incurred to acquire mineral interest in properties, to drill and equip exploratory sites within the claims group are capitalized." It is unclear from this disclosure if you are capitalizing exploration costs. Please modify your policy to clearly explain if all exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

Response: We have modified our policy to clearly explain that all costs are expensed as incurred. Please see the attached.

Certification Pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

Comment 3. In response to comment 11 you explain that you revised your certifications to be in the exact form set forth in Item 601 of Regulation S-B. However, we note that part 5a. of the revised certification included in your response, and the 302 certification in your form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2008 only refers to significant deficiencies, whereas the certifications set forth in Item 601 refers to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. Please ensure your certifications are in the exact from set forth in Item 601.

Response: We have revised our certifications to ensure that they are in exact form as Item 601. Please see the attached.

4. We note you refer to a feasibility study without clarifying the level of accuracy of these investigations. :Mine feasibility studies may also have technical, economic or planning/scheduling objectives and are generally differentiated as scooping, pre-feasibility, or final feasibility study. Please note a pre-feasibility study is sufficient to determine reserves under Canadian Nation Instrument 43-101, but not for SEC filings. Please state the type of feasibility and the accuracy associated with these studies within your filing.

Response: Under NI 43-101 standards the Feasibility Study is a “Final Feasibility Study” but not a Bankable Feasibility Study as required by the SEC as the Engineering is not complete.

5. We note you have quantified the tonnage and grades of the materials found on your properties. In the event these materials are not proven or probable reserves you may need to remove these references from your filing, unless you believe this material can be classified as mineralized material. Mineralized material or deposit is a mineralized body which has been delineated by appropriate drilling and/or underground sampling to establish continuity and support an estimate of tonnage and an average grade of the selected metals. Under SEC standards, such a deposit does not qualify as a reserve until a comprehensive evaluation, based upon unit costs, grade, recoveries and other factors concludes economic and legal feasibility. Mineralized material should only be reported as an in-place tonnage and grade, and should not be disclosed as units of product such as ounces of gold or pounds of copper.



Mr. Mark Wojciechowski

Response: The purpose of the Feasibility Study was to prove the economic feasibility of the deposit and estimate reserves upon the deposit. These estimates are disclosed under Canadian Guidelines to comply with NI 43-101. As this Feasibility Study does not qualify as a Bankable Feasibility Study under SEC Guidelines this material cannot be disclosed as Reserves in this report, although it has been established to indeed be Reserves.

6. We note your response to comment 21 regarding the cutoff grade. In the event you disclose mineral material please state your cutoff grade and include a brief summary within your filing detailing the parameters used to calculate this economic measurement.

Response: Cutoff Grade is largely determined by long term metals prices, mill recovery and capital/operating costs related to milling, processing, administration and smelter terms. As this property is in start up phases, long term production data is nonexistent. Although metals price histories and tonnage-grade have been calculated. Published reports from the adjacent Mesquite Mine list an internal cutoff grade of .006 for non oxide and .012 for oxide ore. Initial start up expenses will tend to bring our cutoff grade higher even at $600 per ounce resulting in a preliminary cutoff grade of .015.
 
Further, in connection with our response to your comments, the Company acknowledges that:
 
 
§
the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
 
 
§
staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
 
 
§
the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
 
If you have any questions or anything that I can do to facilitate your review, please let me know. Your anticipated cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13-a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company's board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

* pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

* provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and

* provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 21, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework," issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, and from its inception in May 1989 to September 30, 2007,the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective and our independent auditors have issued an attestation report regarding management’s assessment of internal controls over the financial reporting in accordance with Item 308 of Regulation S-B.

There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of USCorp.
 
We have completed the audits of the consolidated financial statements of USCorp. and its internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, and from inception in May 1989 to September 30, 2007, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of USCorp. at September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 and the results of its operations, cash flows, and changes in shareholders’ equity for the years then ended, and from inception in May 1989 to September 30, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of consolidated financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, and from inception in May 1989 to September 30, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, and from inception in May 1989 to September 30, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As more fully discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, there are significant matters concerning the Company that raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classifications of recorded liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue in existence.

(an Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006


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 owns the mineral rights to 143 Lode Mining Claims in the Eureka Mining District of Yavapai County, Arizona, called the Twin Peaks Project; and owns the mineral rights to 22 Placer and 84 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 business operations 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.

Convertible Debentures Payable- The Company applies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Debt Issued with Beneficial Conversion Features. EITF No. 98-5 requires that a beneficial conversion feature be recognized upon the issuance of the debt with a favorable conversion feature, and the resultant debt discount be amortized to interest expense during the period from the date of issuance to the date the securities become convertible.

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- The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for mineral properties. Costs incurred to acquire mineral interest in properties, to drill and equip exploratory sites within the claims groups are capitalized. Costs to conduct exploration and assay work that does not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs and costs of carrying and retaining unproved sites are expensed as incurred. Potential mineral properties Costs that are capitalized are periodically assessed for impairment of value and a loss will be recognized at the time of impairment.

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.

Recent accounting pronouncements:

SFAS 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140" (`SFAS No. 155"). This Statement shall be effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a re-measurement (new basis) event occurring after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The fair value election provided for in paragraph 4(c) of this Statement may also be applied upon adoption of this Statement for hybrid financial instruments that had been bifurcated under paragraph 12 of Statement 133 prior to the adoption of this Statement. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period, for that fiscal year. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 155 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 157, "Fair Value Measurements", defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-6 ("EITF No. 05-6"), "Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination." EITF No. 05-6 clarifies that the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or placed in service significantly after and not contemplated at or near the beginning of the lease term should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes the required lease periods and renewals that are reasonably assured of exercise at the time of the acquisition. EITF No. 05-6 is to be applied prospectively to leasehold improvements purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The adoption of EITF No. 05-6 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN No. 48"). FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Fin No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management does not expect adoption of FIN No. 48 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals, 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 on our properties as warranted. An application for drilling on Twin Peaks Project has been submitted to theBureau of Land Management and is being reviewed by them. Additional applications are being prepared for the Twin Peaks Project and the Picacho Salton Project and are being reviewed for submission to Federal, State and local authorities.

* 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. Due to the nature of the ore bodies of the Company’s current properties Management believes it will begin commercial scale operations on our Picacho Salton Project. Then Management plans to begin commercial scale operations on the Twin Peaks Project.

* 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.

* In calendar 2008 Management will launch an investor awareness and public relations campaign including coordinated and periodic release of information to the public via press releases, company newsletter and updates to the company’s web sites

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. At September 30, 2007, the convertible financial instruments outstanding are convertible into 9,910,000 shares of common stock.
