Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 27, 2014

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013 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 and nine month periods ended September 27, 2014 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 28, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. 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. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Bank deposit accounts at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

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 collectibility 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 $130,980 as of September 27, 2014 and $211,840 at September 28, 2013.

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 September 27, 2014 as compared to September 28, 2013. The Company did not have intangible assets at September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013.

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.

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.

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 (loss) per share is computed by dividing net (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted (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, if the additional shares were dilutive.

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.

With respect to our inventory finance notes receivable, approximately 80% of the risk of loss is spread over five 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 $(70,980) and $(117,660) for the nine month period ending September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively. The following table represents changes in the estimated allowance for loan losses:

NOTE 7 - REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS

Effective September 10, 2013, Deer Valley renewed its $5,000,000 Revolving Credit Loan and Security Agreement with its primary bank, used for display model financing for dealers of the products produced by DVH (the “Display Model LOC”). The Display Model LOC has a two year term and has a variable interest rate at 4.00% above LIBOR or 4.15580% at September 27, 2014. As of September 27, 2014, the Company had no outstanding balance under the revolving credit loan.

Effective September 10, 2013, Deer Valley renewed its $3,000,000 Revolving Credit Loan and Security Agreement with its primary bank, used for short term working capital financing, letters of credit and as a bridge loan on financing the sale of retail units by DVH (the “Working Capital LOC”). The Working Capital LOC has a two year term and has a variable interest rate at 2.50% above LIBOR or 2.6570% at September 27, 2014. As of September 27, 2014, the Company had an outstanding balance of $700,000 under the revolving credit loan.

On April 12, 2013 Deer Valley entered into a $2,500,000 Revolving Credit Loan and Security Agreement with its primary bank, used for funding “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. On August 19, 2014 the Company closed the Loan Facility used for funding “construction-to-permanent loans”.

The amount available under the revolving credit loans is equal to the lesser of $8,000,000 or an amount based on defined percentages of accounts receivable and inventories reduced by any outstanding letters of credit. At September 27, 2014, $3,479,453 was available under the revolving credit loans after deducting letters of credit of $65,000.

In addition to the revolving line of credit described in the preceding paragraph, DVH, during its normal course of business, is required to issue irrevocable standby letters of credit in the favor of independent third party beneficiaries to cover obligations under insurance policies. As of September 27, 2014, no amounts had been drawn on the above irrevocable letters of credit by the beneficiaries.

NOTE 8 - LONG_TERM DEBT

On May 26, 2006, DVH entered into a Loan Agreement with Fifth Third 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 Fifth Third Bank agreed to extend the maturity date on the loan until an amendment to the loan agreement could be finalized.

On July 8, 2011, DVH and the Lender entered into that certain Amendment to Loan Agreement effective June 1, 2011, pursuant to which, among matters, (a) DVH 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.

NOTE 10 - 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 $6,800,000 at September 27, 2014. As of September 27, 2014 the Company reserved $203,945 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.

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, provides dealer inventory-secured financing for our factory built homes and provides warranty and repair services for our factory built homes. The Company’s manufacturing plant located in Guin, Alabama, produces homes which are marketed in 14 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 12 - 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 and nine month periods ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013.

Industry and Company Outlook

As a result of the “great recession”, the factory-built housing industry and the Company continue to operate at historically low production and shipment levels. According to data provided by the Manufactured Housing Institute (“MHI”), our industry shipped approximately 60,000 HUD code homes during the calendar year 2013, compared to approximately 55,000 homes shipped in 2012 and 52,000 homes shipped in 2011. From January to August 2014, industry HUD code shipments were approximately 42,000 units; an approximately 6 percent increase from the same period a year ago.

Table of Contents

While we are encouraged by the modest improvement in shipments of HUD code homes during the most recent three years, the manufactured housing industry and the Company continue to struggle to sell homes due to ongoing economic challenges. Low consumer confidence levels and high unemployment and underemployment rates are two of the most significant challenges affecting buyers of factory-built homes. Low consumer confidence regarding the outlook for jobs is not conducive for potential customers to commit to a home purchase. Historically, lower-income households are among the largest segments of new factory-built home purchasers. Lower-income households are particularly affected by high unemployment and underemployment rates.

Sales activity for the Company and our industry appear to be showing signs of improvement; however, a revival faces multiple obstacles, including competition from distressed sales of site-built homes, historically low interest rates resulting in record affordability of site-built homes, restrictive underwriting guidelines, inconsistent appraisal processes and an undeveloped secondary market for manufactured home loans. We believe the key to full recovery in our industry depends on improved consumer confidence levels and an increased availability of consumer financing for the retail purchase of manufactured homes.

The Company’s executives continue to focus on challenges faced by our industry and the general economy. 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 and dealers. The Company continues to focus on operating activities to improve manufacturing efficiencies and maintaining a conservative cost structure. The Company continuously looks for new market opportunities and ways to expand our product offering by developing innovative product designs and production methods.

On September 3, 2014, Peerless Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Peerless”), Vicis Capital Master Fund, a Cayman Island unit trust managed by Vicis Capital, LLC (“Vicis”), and the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”). The transaction described in the SPA closed, and the consummation of the transaction described in the SPA occurred, effective as of October 6, 2014.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPA, (a) Vicis sold to Peerless, and Peerless purchased from Vicis, 12,310,458 shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $3,600,000, and (b) the Company sold to Peerless, and Peerless purchased from the Company, 126,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $81,900. The purchased shares represent approximately eighty percent (80%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Manufacturing Operations

We produce all of our factory-built homes at our plant in Guin, Alabama. During the quarter ended September 27, 2014, our plant was staffed for a single shift; 40 hour work week and producing an average 19 “floors” per week or 53% of our maximum capacity of a single shift, 40 hour work week. As of September 27, 2014, our backlog of orders stood at approximately $2,625,000. 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) market penetration of underserved markets. 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.

 

- 2 -


Table of Contents

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, 22% of the Company’s sales for the three month period ending September 27, 2014 compared to 30% of the Company’s sales for the three month period ended September 28, 2013.

Although inventory-secured financing continues to be somewhat restrictive for the industry’s wholesale distribution chain, recently third party lenders have introduced finance programs. The increased third party lending has allowed the Company to begin to reduce its capital commitment in direct inventory-secured financing. Nevertheless, until greater access to credit for inventory financing becomes available, the Company’s participation in inventory-secured financing is still needed to maintain a portion of our distribution base.

On April 11, 2014, the Company elected not to renew its agreement with CIS Financial Services, Inc. Under this agreement the Company had provided 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.

Results of Operations

The following discussion examines the results of the Company’s operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2014. 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 28, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings on Form 8-K.

HISTORICAL RESULTS – THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 2014 AND

SEPTEMBER 28, 2013.

Revenues. Overall gross revenue for the three month period ended September 27, 2014 was $8,473,549 compared to $7,285,472 for the three month period ended September 27, 2013, representing an increase of $1,188,077, or approximately 16.3%. Overall gross revenue for the nine month period ended September 27, 2014 was $21,589,852 compared to $19,963,500 for the nine month period ended September 28, 2013, representing an increase of $1,626,352, or approximately 8.1%. The increase in revenue for the three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2014 compared to the three and nine month period ended September 28, 2013, is primarily attributable to a product mix of larger homes with greater amenities. Although we remain cautiously optimistic, several challenges such as persistently high unemployment and underemployment levels, low consumer confidence levels and the restrictive mortgage lending environment continue to hinder a recovery in the housing market.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three month period ended September 28, 2014 was $1,735,369 or 20.5% of total revenue compared to $1,398,585 or 19.2% of total revenue for the three month period ended September 28, 2013. Gross profit for the nine month period ended September 27, 2014 was $3,924,436 or 18.2% of total revenue compared to $3,667,927 or 18.4% of total revenue for the nine month period ended September 28, 2013. For the three month period gross profit as a percentage of sales increased 1.3% compared to the prior year, the increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales is attributable a decrease in raw material cost of 1.3% and an increase in efficiencies as a result of higher capacity utilization, which were partially offset by an increase in service and warranty cost of .85%. For the nine month period gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased 0.2% compared to the prior year, the decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales is attributable to an increase in service and warranty cost, which were partially offset by a decrease in raw material cost. 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 September 27, 2014 were $1,221,528 compared to $1,013,018 for the three month period ended September 28, 2013. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September 27,

2014 were $3,445,486 compared to $3,037,249 for the nine month period ended September 28, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine month periods primarily relates to an increase in salaries and wages and health insurance costs. 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. The net income for the three month period ended September 27, 2014 was $295,012 compared to net income of $263,923 for the three month period ended September 28, 2013, representing an increase in net income of $31,089. The net income for the nine month period ended September 27, 2014 was $249,528 compared to net income of $391,612 for the nine month period ended September 28, 2013, representing a decrease in net income of $142,084.

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 $3,975,814 in cash and cash equivalents as of September 27, 2014, compared to $3,107,213 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 28, 2013. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily attributable to decrease in inventory finance notes receivable and construction loans, which were offset in part by repayments of revolving credit loans. Should our costs and expenses prove 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 September 27, 2014, the aggregate balance on our loan facilities was $700,000. In addition, we have a commercial real estate mortgage from our primary bank that had a balance, as of September 27, 2014, of $847,800.

1 - Cash flow from operating activities:

For the nine month period ended September 27, 2014, operating activities provided net cash of $3,458,114 primarily as a result of the following:

 

  (a) a decrease in inventory finance receivable of $2,147,818 (a source of cash), and

 

  (b) a decrease in construction loan receivable of $693,257 (a source of cash), and

 

  (c) an increase in accrued expenses of $752,014 (a source of cash), primarily as a result of customer deposits on special projects, which were partially offset by,

 

  (d) an increase in accounts receivable of $232,989 (a use of cash), primarily as a result of a return to normal production levels subsequent to holiday shutdown period at December 28, 2013,

 

  (e) an increase in inventories of $471,001 (a use of cash), primarily as a result of a return to normal inventory levels subsequent to holiday shutdown period at December 28, 2013, and

 

  (f) a decrease in income taxes payable of $208,447 (a use of cash),

2 - Cash flow from investing activities:

The net cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ending September 27, 2014 was $113,980, which reflects capitalization of normal operating purchases of equipment.

3 - Cash flow from financing activities:

The net cash used in financing activities for the nine month period ending September 27, 2014 was $2,475,533, which is primarily attributable to a decrease in revolving credit loans of $2,356,799. The decrease in revolving credit loans is attributable to decreases in inventory finance notes receivable and construction loan notes receivable.

The Company is contingently liable under the terms of the repurchase agreements with third party 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 September 27, 2014, 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 unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended September 27, 2014, contained in this filing, and the Company’s Form 10-K for December 28, 2013. 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 $1,205,000 on its balance sheet as of September 27, 2014, as compared to $1,110,000 as of September 28, 2013. Based on management’s assessment of historical experience and current trends in wholesale shipments and dealer inventories we increased our warranty provision by $60,000 for the quarter ended September 27, 2014. 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. An increased 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. As of September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, we had a reserve for volume incentives payable of $307,893 and $241,471, respectively.

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 $6,800,000 as of September 27, 2014, as compared to $2,915,000 as of September 28, 2013. As of September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, we had reserves of $203,945 and $116,605, 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.

Inventory Finance Notes Receivable and Allowance for Loan Loss

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 $3,949,370 as of September 27, 2014, as compared to $5,673,842 as of September 28, 2013. We have established an allowance for loan loss of $130,980 as of September 27, 2014 and $211,840 at September 28, 2013.

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 the idled facility no impairment charges are required.

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 - 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 September 27, 2014 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 September 27, 2014 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.
