Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 30, 2013

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month period ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

The unaudited financial information included in this report includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim period. The operations for the three month period ended March 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registrant’s December 31, 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings on Form 8-K.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Deer Valley Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Estimates - The Company’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fiscal Year - The Company operates on a 52-53 week fiscal year end. Each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks, with an occasional fourth quarter extending to 14 weeks, if necessary.

Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company maintains its cash balances in two different financial institutions. At March 30, 2013 these balances totaled $2,117,798. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At March 30, 2013, $1,747,458 of our cash balances exceeded the current FDIC insurance limits.

Inventory Finance Notes Receivable - The Company offers inventory-secured financing for its products to qualified retail dealers and developers. Finance contracts require periodic installments of principal and interest over periods of up to 24 months. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of our notes receivable and considers the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon our historical collection experience. We have established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $313,320 as of March 30, 2013 and $241,760 at March 31, 2012. See Note 4 Inventory Finance Notes Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses for additional data disclosure.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - Property and intangible assets are material to our consolidated financial statements. Further, these assets are subject to the potential negative effects arising from factors beyond the Company’s control including changing economic conditions. The Company evaluates its tangible and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during our fourth quarter or more frequently in the presence of circumstances or trends that may be indicators of impairment. The evaluation is a two-step process. The first step is to compare our undiscounted cash flows, as projected over the remaining useful lives of the assets, to their respective carrying values. In the event that the carrying values are not recovered by future undiscounted cash flows, as a second step, the Company compares the carrying values to the related fair values and, if the fair value is lower, record an impairment adjustment. For purposes of fair value, the Company generally uses replacement costs for tangible fixed assets and discounted cash flows, using risk-adjusted discount rates, for intangible assets. These estimates are made by competent employees, using the best available information, under the direct supervision of our management. For tangible property, plant and equipment, there have been no changes in assumptions or methodologies in the three month period ended March 30, 2013 as compared to March 31, 2012. The Company did not have definite-lived intangible assets at March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012.

Table of Contents

In accordance with FASB Topic ASC 420 “Exit on Disposal Cost Obligations”, the Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of long-lived assets is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such assets is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that the fair market values are primarily based on independent appraisals and preliminary or definitive contractual arrangements less costs to dispose.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue for manufactured homes sold to independent dealers generally is recorded when all of the following conditions have been met; (a) an order for the home has been received from the dealer, (b) an agreement with respect to payment terms (usually in the form of a written or verbal approval for payment has been received from the dealer’s flooring institution), and (c) the home has been shipped and risk of loss has passed to the dealer and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company provides limited inventory-secured financing for its independent dealers. Products shipped to dealers under the Company’s inventory-secured financing program are recorded by the Company as sales and the dealers’ obligations to the Company are reflected as inventory finance note receivables. Interest on inventory finance note receivables is recognized in the period that it is earned.

Cost of Sales - The Company’s factory-built housing segment includes the following types of expenses in cost of sales: purchase and receiving costs, freight in, direct labor, supply costs, warehousing, direct and indirect overhead costs, inspection, transfer, actual and accrued warranty, depreciation, and amortization costs. The Company’s financial services segment includes the following types of expenses in cost of sales: interest expense

Selling, General and Administrative - The Company includes the following types of expenses in selling, general and administrative expense: sales salaries, sales commissions, bad debt expense, advertising, administrative overhead, administrative salaries and bonuses and legal and professional fees.

Derivative Financial Instruments - We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of our financial instruments. However, we have entered into certain financial instruments, such as the issuance of certain freestanding warrants, which do not meet the conditions for equity classification due to their “down-round” protection features. As required by ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value with changes in fair value, in our financial statements with changes in fair value reflected in our income (loss). See Note 9 Derivative Liabilities of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure data.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share - The Company uses the guidance set forth under FASB topic ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. Basic income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) and net income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income/(loss) per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if they would be anti-dilutive.

The Company’s dilutive common stock equivalent shares as of March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 include any incremental shares associated with the Company’s outstanding warrants.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method of accounting. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, using currently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Administrative services for inventory-secured financing are provided by Triad Financial Services, Inc. of Jacksonville, Florida. Finance contracts require periodic installments of principal and interest over periods of up to 24 months. These notes are secured by the inventory collateral and other security depending on borrower circumstances.

Inventory finance notes receivable, net, consisted of the following:

With respect to our inventory finance notes receivable, the risk of loss is spread over numerous borrowers. In addition to historical experience, borrower inventory levels and activity are monitored in conjunction with a third-party provider to estimate the potential for loss. The Company anticipates it will be able to resell any repossessed homes, thereby mitigating loss experience. If a default occurs and collateral is lost, the Company is exposed to loss of the full value of the note receivable. The Company recorded a provision/(benefit) for credit losses of $(16,180) and $40,820 for three month period ending March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The following table represents changes in the estimated allowance for loan losses:

NOTE 6 - PRODUCT WARRANTIES

The Company provides the retail home buyer a one-year limited warranty covering defects in material or workmanship in home structure, plumbing and electrical systems. The Company estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time of the sale to the dealer following industry standards and historical warranty cost incurred. Periodic adjustments to the estimated warranty accrual are made as events occur which indicate changes are necessary. As of March 30, 2013, the Company has recorded an accrued liability of $1,085,000 for estimated warranty costs relating to homes sold, based upon management’s assessment of historical experience factors and current industry trends. Management reviews its warranty requirements at the close of each reporting period and adjusts the reserves accordingly.

NOTE 8 - LONG_TERM DEBT

On May 26, 2006, DVH entered into a Loan Agreement with its primary bank (the “Lender”) providing for a loan of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Loan”) evidenced by a promissory note and secured by a first mortgage on DVH’s properties in Guin, Alabama and Sulligent, Alabama, including the structures and fixtures located thereon, as well as DVH’s interest in any lease thereof. The Loan had a term from May 26, 2006 through June 1, 2011 and has a variable interest rate at 2.25% above LIBOR. There is no prepayment penalty. Future advances are available under the Loan Agreement, subject to approval by the Lender. Also on May 26, 2006, the Company and DVH guaranteed the Loan. Should Deer Valley default, thereby triggering acceleration of the Loan, the Company would become liable for payment of the Loan. On June 1, 2011 the Lender agreed to extend to maturity date on the loan until an amendment to the loan agreement could be finalized.

On July 8, 2011, DVHB and the Lender entered into that certain Amendment to Loan Agreement effective June 1, 2011, pursuant to which, among matters, (a) DVHB made a cash payment to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Real Estate Loan to $1,256,000, (b) the term of the Real Estate Loan was extended to June 1, 2016, and (c) the variable interest rate was set at 400 basis points (4.00%) above the One-Month LIBOR-Index Rate. The Real Estate Loan is guaranteed by DVC and DVFC.

NOTE 9 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

Under ASC 815, share-linked contracts which contain full ratchet anti-dilution provisions are not considered indexed to a company’s own stock for purposes of determining whether it meets the first part of the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74. The application of this standard required us to (1) evaluate our instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and (2) evaluate the instrument’s settlement provisions. Based upon applying this approach to instruments within the scope of the consensus, we determined that certain of our warrants do not meet the definition of Indexed to a Company’s Own Stock provided in the Consensus. Accordingly, those Warrants are recorded as liabilities at their fair value. ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” requires that the fair value of these liabilities be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.

As of March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, derivative financial instruments recorded as liabilities consisted of Class B Warrants indexed to 1,112,487 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $2.25. The fair value of the Class B warrants as of March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $0.

The following tables summarize the effects on our income (loss) associated with changes in the fair values of our derivative financial instruments:

We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. We value our derivative warrants using a Binomial Lattice valuation model which provides for early exercise scenarios and incorporates the down-round anti-dilution protection possibilities that could arise in early exercise scenarios.

Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Lattice models) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair value, our (income) loss will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation - The Company in the normal course of business is subject to claims and litigation. Management of the Company is of the opinion that, based on information available, such legal matters will not ultimately have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operation of the Company.

Reserve for Repurchase Commitments - DVH is contingently liable under the terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for retailers of DVH’s products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer. The risk of loss under these agreements is spread over numerous retailers. The price DVH is obligated to pay generally declines over the period of the agreement (typically 18 to 24 months) and the risk of loss is further reduced by the sale value of repurchased homes. The maximum amount for which the Company is contingently liable under repurchase agreements is approximately $2,142,000 at March 30, 2013. As of March 30, 2013 the Company reserved $85,655 for future repurchase losses, based on prior experience and an evaluation of dealers’ financial conditions. DVH to date has not experienced significant losses under these agreements, and management does not expect any future losses to have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 12, 2013, the Company extended its existing credit arrangements with its primary bank, by entering into a new Revolving Credit Loan and Security Agreement with its primary bank, which provides for a revolving line of credit in an amount not to exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) (the “Loan”). The Loan is evidenced by a revolving credit note and secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and all other tangible and intangible personal property of Deer Valley.

Overview

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries Deer Valley Homebuilders, Inc. (“DVH”), Deer Valley Financial Corp (“DVFC”) and Deer Valley Home Repair Services, Inc. (DVHRS), designs and manufactures factory built homes and provides dealer inventory-secured financing for our factory built homes. The Company’s manufacturing plant located in Guin, Alabama, produces homes which are marketed in 12 states through a network of independent dealers, builders, developers and government agencies located primarily in the southeastern and south central regions of the United States. Inventory-secured loan financing is offered to qualified retail dealers and developers, through DVFC.

Our business segments consist of factory-built housing and financial services. Our financial services provide qualified independent retail dealers and developers with inventory-secured financing for homes the Company produces. The Company does not maintain separate operating segments for regions and does not separately report financial information by geographic sales area because they are similar products using similar production techniques and sold to the same class of customer. See Note 13 - Segment Information of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our net sales, income (loss) from operations, and identifiable assets by segment for the three month periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012.

Industry and Company Outlook

The factory-built housing industry and the Company continue to operate at low production and shipment levels. According to data provided by the Manufactured Housing Institute (“MHI”), our industry shipped approximately 55,000 HUD code homes during the calendar year 2012, compared to approximately 52,000 homes shipped in 2011 and 50,000 homes shipped in both calendar years 2010 and 2009.

While we are encouraged by the positive trends in shipments of HUD code homes, several challenges such as persistently high unemployment levels, ongoing economic weakness and uncertainty, the restrictive mortgage lending environment and the potential for more foreclosures continue to threaten a recovery in our industry. Until there is a more robust U.S. economic recovery, we expect shipments of HUD code homes to remain at historically low levels, with uneven improvement across markets.

 

- 1 -


Table of Contents

Before an emergence from current low shipment levels can occur, increased availability of consumer financing for the retail purchase of factory-built is necessary. Although, the overall demand for new homes has continued to show signs of improvement, the current lending environment that favors site-built housing and more affluent homebuyers has resulted in an adverse impact for buyers of factory-built homes. Restrictive underwriting guidelines, irregular appraisal processes, higher interest rates compared to site-built homes, regulatory burdens, reduction in the number of institutions lending to factory-built home buyers and limited secondary market availability for factory-built home loans are significant restraints to industry growth.

The Company’s executives continue to focus on challenges faced by our industry and the general economy. (i) Management has been addressing the continued slowness in the housing industry by adjusting capacity and rate of production with market demand. The Company will continue to monitor demand and adjust capacity based on our views of and direction of the industry. (ii) As part of the Company’s strategic plan, management seeks to identify niche market opportunities where our custom building capabilities provide us with a competitive advantage. The Company continues to focus on the production of custom built, energy efficient, “heavy built homes” and has intensified efforts in innovative exterior elevations to meet the needs of homeowners, dealers, developers and government agencies (iii) Management has addressed the limited availability of “dealer inventory financing” with the establishment of its wholly owned subsidiary, (DVFC). The subsidiary was created to provide inventory-secured loans to qualified retail dealers and developers. (iv) Management is addressing a need for consumer financing by teaming with an established mortgage orginator to increase the availability of affordable loans for qualified retail buyers of factory-built homes. (v) The Company continues to focus on operating activities to improve manufacturing efficiencies and increase gross margins.

Manufacturing Operations

We produce all of our factory-built homes at our plant in Guin, Alabama. Our plant is currently staffed for a single shift; 40 hour work week and producing on average 15 “floors” per week. During the quarter ended March 30, 2013, the Company’s average production rate was approximately 13 “floors” produced per week or 36% of our maximum capacity of a single shift, 40 hour work week. As of March 30, 2013, our backlog of orders stood at approximately $1,475,000 or approximately 14 days at our current production rate. We have one idle plant located in Sulligent, Alabama.

When evaluating the Company’s operating performance, the key performance indicators management examines are (1) the Company’s production rate, in “floors” produced per day, (2) the cost of sales, (3) the size of the Company’s sales backlog, and (4) the prevailing market conditions. For more information on these performance indicators, please see the attached financial statements and notes thereto and the section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K titled “Description of Business

Financial Operations

The Company offers inventory-secured financing for its products to a limited number of qualified retail dealers and developers. Products shipped to dealers under the Company’s inventory-secured financing program are recorded by the Company as sales and the dealers obligations to the Company are reflected as inventory finance notes receivable.

Finance contracts require periodic installments of principal and interest over periods of up to twenty-four months. These notes are secured by a first priority secured interest in the inventory collateral and other security depending on borrower circumstances. Dealers who sell products utilizing inventory-secured financing are required to make immediate payment for those products to the Company upon sale to the retail customer. This type of inventory-secured financing accounts for approximately, 41% of the Company’s sales for the three month period ending March 30, 2013 compared to 43% of the Company’s sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2012.

On April 12, 2013, the Company extended its existing credit arrangements with its primary bank by entering into a new Revolving Credit Loan and Security Agreement with its primary bank, which provides for a revolving line of credit in an amount not to exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) (the “Loan”). The Loan is evidenced by a revolving credit note and secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and all other tangible and intangible personal property of Deer Valley. The Loan matures on

Table of Contents

June 30, 2015 and has a variable interest rate of 4.00% above LIBOR. An event of default such as non-payment of amounts when due or a breach of a covenant may accelerate the maturity date of the facility. The facility provides for conditions to meet prior to each advance, including financial ratios.

Deer Valley’s financial subsidiary, DVFC will use proceeds from the Loan to furnish up to total of $2.5 million dollars to CIS Financial Services, Inc. d/b/a CIS Home Loans (CIS), to provide on a revolving basis, 80% of the funding for “construction-to-permanent loans” prior to the issue of a certificate of occupancy and ultimate resale of the loan to either private or government controlled long term financing entities.

Single-closing, construction-to-permanent mortgage is a common form of financing for new site-built homes. Often, however, it is not readily available to buyers of factory-built homes. This specific source of retail financing is important for the factory-built housing industry. Through this new arrangement with CIS, Deer Valley is able to assist its dealers and homebuyers with increased availability of this type of retail financing to the buyers of factory-built homes.

Results of Operations

The following discussion examines the results of the Company’s operations for the three month period ended March 30, 2013. This discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment by our management. It is also imperative that one read our December 31, 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings on Form 8-K.

HISTORICAL RESULTS – THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 30, 2013 AND MARCH 31, 2012.

Revenues. Overall gross revenue for the three month period ended March 30, 2013 was $5,454,551 compared to $5,318,964 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, representing an increase of $135,587, or approximately 2.5%. The increase in revenue for the three month period ended March 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2012, is attributable to an increase in the average wholesale price per unit in the first quarter 2013. Our average wholesale price per unit increased to approximately $79,000 from $73,500 for the three month period ended March 30, 2013, compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2012. The Company raised its selling prices to offset a continuing rise in raw material cost. Although we remain cautiously optimistic, several challenges such as persistently high unemployment levels, ongoing economic weakness and uncertainty, the restrictive mortgage lending environment and the threat of more foreclosures continue to hinder a recovery in the housing market.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three month period ended March 30, 2013 was $892,752 or 16.4% of total revenue compared to $833,633 or 15.7% of total revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2012. The increase in gross profit is attributable to a decrease in labor and related costs of 1.7% and a decrease in service and warranty cost of .3%, which were partially offset by an increase in raw material cost of 1.3%. Gross profit continues to be adversely impacted by pricing competition from competing home providers aggressively pricing products in an effort to obtain a portion of the constricted overall housing market and an increase in cost of raw materials. The Company includes the following types of expenses in cost of sales: purchase and receiving costs, freight in, direct labor, supply costs, warehousing, direct and indirect overhead costs, inspection, transfer, actual and accrued warranty, depreciation, and amortization costs.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 30, 2013 were $1,077,050 compared to $1,137,162 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, of $60,112 primarily relates to a decrease in sales and marketing expenses of $40,489. The Company includes the following types of expenses in selling, general and administrative expense: sales salaries, sales commissions, bad debt expense, advertising, administrative overhead, administrative salaries and bonuses and legal and professional fees.

Net Income (Loss). The net (loss) for the three month period ended March 30, 2013 was $(129,238) compared to net (loss) of $(190,707) for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, representing a decrease in net (loss) of $61,469. The decrease in net loss for the three month period ended March 30, 2013 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2012, is attributable to an increase in gross profit and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management believes that the Company currently has sufficient cash flow from operations, available bank borrowings, cash, and cash equivalents to meet its short-term working capital requirements. The Company had $2,117,798 in cash and cash equivalents as of March 30, 2013, compared to $2,434,227 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2012. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is primarily attributable to an increase in inventories and to payment of certain expenses accrued during 2012, but were payable during the first quarter of 2013. Should our costs and expenses prove to greater than we currently anticipate or should we change our current business plan in a manner which will increase or accelerate our anticipated costs or capital demand, such as through the acquisition of new products, our working capital could be depleted at an accelerated rate.

As of March 30, 2013, the aggregate balance on the $5,000,000 Facility and the $3,000,000 Facility was $4,250,000. In addition, we have a real estate loan from its primary bank that had a balance, as of March 30, 2013, of $1,036,200.

1 - Cash flow from operating activities:

For the three month period ended March 30, 2013, operating activities provided net cash of $309,142 primarily as a result of the following:

 

  (a) a decrease in inventory finance receivable of $519,817 (a source of cash), and

 

  (b) an increase in accounts payable of $295,229 (a source of cash), primarily as a result of a return to normal production levels subsequent to holiday shutdown period at December 31, 2012, which were partially offset by,

 

  (c) an increase in inventories of $221,639 (a use of cash), primarily as a result of a return to normal production levels subsequent to holiday shutdown period at December 31, 2012, and

 

  (d) an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $198,402 ( a use of cash).

2 - Cash flow from investing activities:

The net cash used in investing activities for the three month period ending March 30, 2013 was $11,297, which reflects capitalization of normal operating purchases of equipment.

3 - Cash flow from financing activities:

The net cash used in financing activities for the three month period ending March 30, 2013 was $614,274, which is primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in revolving credit loans of $500,000 and (ii) purchases of treasury stock at a cost of $82,874.

The Company is contingently liable under the terms of the repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for retailers of our products. For more information on the repurchase agreements, including the Company’s contingent liability there under, please see “Reserve for Repurchase Commitments” below.

DVH, during its normal course of business, is required to provide irrevocable standby letters of credit to cover obligations under its workers compensation insurance policy in the amount of $65,000. As of March 30, 2013, no amounts had been drawn on the above irrevocable letters of credit by the beneficiaries.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. For a description of those estimates, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, contained in the explanatory notes to the Company’s financial statements for the

quarter ended March 30, 2013, contained in this filing and the Company’s Form 10-K for December 31, 2012. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to reserves, deferred tax assets, valuation allowances, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of equity instruments issued to consultants for services, and estimates of costs to complete contracts. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. However, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management is aware that certain changes in accounting estimates employed in generating financial statements can have the effect of making the Company look more or less profitable than it actually is. Management believes the Company’s estimates are reasonable. A summary of the most critical accounting estimates employed by the Company in generating financial statements follows below.

Warranties

We provide our retail buyers with a one-year limited warranty covering defects in material or workmanship, including plumbing and electrical systems. We record a liability for estimated future warranty costs relating to homes sold, based upon our assessment of historical experience and industry trends. In making this estimate, we evaluate historical sales amounts, warranty costs related to homes sold and timing in which any work orders are completed. The Company has accrued a warranty liability reserve of $1,085,000 on its balance sheet as of March 30, 2013. Based on management’s assessment of historical experience and current trends in wholesale shipments and dealer inventories we decreased our warranty provision by $85,000 for the quarter ended March 30, 2013. Although we maintain reserves for such claims, there can be no assurance that warranty expense levels will remain at current levels or that the reserves that we have set aside will continue to be adequate. A large number of warranty claims which exceed our current warranty expense levels could have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations.

Volume Incentives Payable

We have relied upon volume incentive payments to our independent dealers who retail our products. These volume incentive payments are accounted for as a reduction to gross sales, and are estimated and accrued when sales of our factory-built homes are made to our independent dealers. Volume incentive reserves are recorded based upon the annualized purchases of our independent dealers who purchase a qualifying amount of home products from us. We accrue a liability to our dealers, based upon estimates derived from historical payout rates. We had a reserve for volume incentives payable of $258,500 as of March 30, 2013.

Reserve for Repurchase Commitments

Most of our independent dealers finance their purchases under a wholesale floor plan financing arrangement under which a financial institution provides the dealer with a loan for the purchase price of the home and maintains a security interest in the home as collateral. When entering into a floor plan arrangement, the financial institution routinely requires that we enter into a separate repurchase agreement with the lender, under which we are obligated, upon default by the independent dealer, to repurchase the factory-built home at our original invoice price less the cost of administrative and shipping expenses. Our potential loss under a repurchase obligation depends upon the estimated net resale value of the home, as compared to the repurchase price that we are obligated to pay. This amount generally declines on a predetermined schedule over a period that usually does not exceed 24 months.

The risk of loss that we face under these repurchase agreements is lessened by several factors, including the following:

 

  (i) the sales of our products are spread over a number of independent dealers,

 

  (ii) historically we have had only isolated instances where we have incurred a repurchase obligation, although there is no guarantee that such historical trends will continue,

 

  (iii) the price we are obligated to pay under such repurchase agreements declines based upon a predetermined amount over a period which usually does not exceed 24 months, and

 

  (iv) we have been able to resell homes repurchased from lenders at current market prices, although there is no guarantee that we will continue to be able to do so.

The maximum amount for which the Company is contingently liable under such agreements amounted to approximately $2,142,000 as of March 30, 2013, as compared to $3,500,000 as of March 31, 2012. As of March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, we had reserves of $85,655 and $128,745, respectively, established for future repurchase commitments, based upon our prior experience and evaluation of our independent dealers’ financial conditions. Deer Valley to date has not experienced any significant losses under these agreements; consequently, management does not expect any future losses to have a material effect on our accompanying financial statements.

Allowance loan loss for Inventory Finance Notes Receivable

The Company offers inventory-secured financing for its products to qualified retail dealers and developers. Finance contracts require periodic installments of principal and interest over periods of up to 24 months. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of our notes receivable and considers the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon our historical collection experience. The Company had a total inventory-secured financing receivable of $7,754,615 as of March 30, 2013. We have established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $313,320 as of March 30, 2013 and $241,760 at March 31, 2012.

The risk of loss that we face in connection with inventory-secured financing is lessened by several factors, including the following:

 

  (i) the financing for our products are spread over a number of independent dealers,

 

  (ii) historically we have had only isolated instances where we have had our dealers default on floor plan financing, although there is no guarantee that such historical trends will continue, and

 

  (iii) we anticipate that we would be able to resell homes repossessed from dealers at current market prices, although there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Although we maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts, there can be no assurance that such allowance will remain at current levels or that such allowances will be adequate.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

As previously discussed, the factory-built housing industry has experienced an overall market decline. Addressing the constriction of the retail housing market, in 2008 the Company idled its Sulligent, Alabama plant and thereafter consolidated its production operations at the Company’s larger plant located in Guin, Alabama. In accordance with FASB Topic ASC 420 “Exit on Disposal Cost Obligations”, the Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of long-lived assets is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such assets is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that the fair market values are primarily based on independent appraisals and preliminary or definitive contractual arrangements less costs to dispose. Based on our estimates of the fair value of idled facility no impairment charges have been recorded.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue for our products sold to independent dealers are generally recorded when all of the following conditions have been met: (i) an order for the home has been received from the dealer, (ii) an agreement with respect to payment terms has been received, and (iii) the home has been shipped and risk of loss has passed to the dealer and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company provides limited inventory-secured financing for its independent dealers. Products shipped to dealers under the Company’s inventory-secured financing program are recorded by the Company as sales and the dealers’ obligations to the Company are reflected as inventory finance note receivables. Interest on inventory finance note receivables is recognized in the period that it is earned.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements - We have reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We believe that the following impending standards may have an impact on our future filings. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and other regulatory bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective dates. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

 

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the fiscal period ending March 30, 2013 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 30, 2013, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of the Effectiveness of Disclosure and Internal Controls

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure control system or internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any disclosure control system or internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.
