                      ACCOUNTANT'S STATEMENT


     We are unable to complete the financial statements to be
included in the Form 10-QSB of Chase General Corporation in time
for Chase General Corporation to file by November 14, 1998.  Due
to our Firm policy on the review of SEC filings, and to maintain
compliance with the AICPA Division for Firms SEC Practice
Section, the 10-QSB must be passed through four separate quality
control reviews before it is released.  The 10-QSB has presently
passed three of those reviews with the final approval expected
shortly.
