DEER
VALLEY CORPORATION REPORTS INCREASE IN NET INCOME AVAILABLE TO COMMON
SHAREHOLDERS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER
Tampa,
FL
April

2007
Deer
Valley Corporation, (“Deer Valley” or the “Company”) (OTCBB: DVLY), today
announced fourth quarter earnings for 2006. Charles G. Masters, the Company’s
CEO, commented, “In a news release dated January 24, 2007, we announced
unaudited revenue of $16.6 million for the fourth quarter, which was 42.8%
above
the revenue recorded during comparable period in 2005 by Deer Valley
Hombuilders, Inc, the Company’s operating subsididary. Today the Company is
announcing unaudited positive net income of $815,968 for the fourth quarter
of
2006.
The
corresponding net income and per share earnings for the first three quarters
of
2006 had been depressed by a non-cash write-off of the “beneficial conversion
feature” related to the terms of a sale of preferred shares early in 2006. With
the realization of said “deemed dividend” to shareholders in the third quarter,
the impact of the beneficial conversion features upon the Company’s financial
statements ceased in that quarter. We believe that the positive fourth quarter
earnings better communicate the true financial health of the Company, and we
are
delighted to be able to report these earnings to our shareholders.”
The
Company reminded shareholders that in response to an anticipated 40 year low
in
industry shipment rates during the first half of 2007, the Company announced
in
the January 24th
news
release that it planned to curtail production by approximately 20% during the
first two quarters of 2007. That plan has been put into effect. The Company’s
CEO, Charles G. Masters, further noted, “Running counter to the anticipated
market weakness which was confirmed in the first quarter of 2007, the Company
is
experiencing a surge in requests for proposals for multiple unit purchases
of
new modular homes. The Company anticipates submitting bids in response to
several of the requests for proposals. Most of these homes are slated to be
delivered to the Gulf Coast reconstruction area beginning in the third quarter
of 2007.”
