Deer Valley Corporation ("Deer Valley" or the "Company") (OTCBB: DVLY) today filed its Form 10-Q reporting financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The Company reported revenue for the 2008 first quarter of $16.7 million, an increase of 41.5% compared to revenue of $11.8 million reported for the first quarter of 2007. Net income available to common shareholders for the quarter was reported at $675 thousand, or earnings of $0.03 per share (fully diluted), compared to a loss of $226 thousand, or ($0.03) per share (fully diluted) for the first quarter of 2007.

Commenting on the results for the quarter, Charles G. Masters, the Company's CEO, said, "We are very pleased to report the dramatic increase in revenue and earnings for the first quarter of 2008, compared to the same period last year. The Company's increased revenues for the quarter were largely attributable to our ongoing contracts to supply 'MEMA Cottages' to the State of Mississippi. A total of 188 two-bedroom cottages were delivered during the first quarter." In a further comment, Mr. Masters said, "As the proof-of-concept phase of the Mississippi contracts nears completion, the Company expects to shift its production to accommodate the delivery of 'twin-townhomes' for the recently announced 'Orleans Place' contract with M & C Development, LLC. We expect the construction and delivery of two-story homes for Orleans Place to clearly demonstrate another major element of the Company's capability. Our staff is really excited to be partnered with M & C in the development of the Orleans Place section of Savanna Trails, a master-planned residential community being built in Ocean Springs, Mississippi."
