Principles of Consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Deer Valley Homebuilders, Inc. (“DVH), Deer Valley Financial Corp (“DVFC”) and Deer Valley Home Repair Services, Inc. (“DVHRS”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
Accounting Estimates | ' |
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 | ' |
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 | ' |
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. At September 28, 2013, $1,798,772 of our cash balances exceeded the current FDIC insurance limits. |
Inventory Finance Notes Receivable | ' |
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 $211,840 as of September 28, 2013 and $271,810 at September 30, 2012. |
Construction Loan Notes Receivable | ' |
Construction Loan Notes Receivable - The Company provides bridge financing to an established mortgage originator 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. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ' |
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 and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013 as compared to September 30, 2012. The Company did not have definite-lived intangible assets at September 28, 2013 and September 30, 2012. |
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 Recognition - Revenue from 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 | ' |
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 | ' |
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 | ' |
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 | ' |
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 September 30, 2012 include any incremental shares associated with the Company’s outstanding warrants. As of September 28, 2013 the Company did not have any outstanding warrants. All warrants expired on August 11, 2013. |

Income Taxes | ' |
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. |
