Vancouver, British Columbia, September 24, 2009 -- Verona Development
Corp. (TSX.V: VDC) provides an update on its progress in the filing of
a comparative financial statement and the related Management Discussion
& Analysis (together the "Statements") for its financial year ended
March 31, 2009, and interim period ended June 30, 2009.  The Company
has completed the Statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 and has
turned over the Statements to its auditor, Charlton & Company, with the
intention of filing the Statements as soon as the audit has been
completed.  The Company will file the Statements for the interim period
ended June 30, 2009 promptly thereafter.

A Cease Trade Order (the "CTO") has been issued in respect of its
securities by the British Columbia Securities Commission.  The
Company's shares remain suspended by the TSX Venture Exchange (the
"Exchange").  The Company's shares will be reinstated for trading only
after the Cease Trade Order is revoked and the Exchange is satisfied
that the Company meets Tier Maintenance Requirements ("TMR") and other
requirements of the Exchange.  The Exchange has advised that if the CTO
is not revoked or if the Company's shares are not reinstated for
trading on Tier 2 by November 9, 2009, the Exchange will transfer the
securities of the Company to the NEX on November 9, 2009.  The Company
is currently working on the Statements with its auditors and intends to
apply to the Exchange for reinstatement prior to November 9, 2009.
