PART I
 
This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” concerning the Company’s operations, economic performance and financial condition, which are subject to inherent uncertainties and risks.  Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in this report.  When used in this report, the word “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
 
Item 1 BUSINESS
 
Chase General Corporation was incorporated November 6, 1944 for the purpose of manufacturing confectionery products.  In 1970, Chase General Corporation acquired a 100% interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dye Candy Company.  (Chase General Corporation and Dye Candy Company are sometimes referred herein as “the Company”).  This subsidiary is the main operating company for the reporting entity.
 
PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND METHODS OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The subsidiary, Dye Candy Company, operates two divisions, Chase Candy Products and Seasonal Candy Products.  Chase Candy Products involve production and sale of a candy bar marketed under the trade name “Cherry Mash”.  The Seasonal Candy Products involve production and sale of coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries.  The products of both divisions are sold to the same type of customers in the same geographical areas.  In addition, both divisions share a common labor force and utilize the same basic equipment and raw materials.  Management considers these two divisions as one reportable segment for inclusion in this filing.
 
The principal products produced are as follows:
 
Chase Candy Products of Dye Candy Company produces a candy bar under the trade name of “Cherry Mash”.  The bar is distributed in the following six case sizes:
 
 
(1) 
60 count pack
 
(2) 
12 boxes of 24 bars per box
 
(3) 
200 count shipper box
 
(4) 
100 count shipper box
 
(5) 
100 # 2 box Counter Display
 
(6) 
4 box - 36 count Counter Display
 
In addition to the regular size bar, a “mini-mash” is distributed in the following seven case sizes:
 
(1)  24 - 12 oz. bags
(2)  6 jars - 60 bars per jar
(3)  23 # wrapped bars
(4)  22 # unwrapped bars
(5)  12 - 12 oz. bags
(6)  6 - 4 # jars
(7)  24 - 12 oz. clamshell containers

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND METHODS OF DISTRIBUTION (CONTINUED)
 
Seasonal Candy Products of Dye Candy Company produces coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries.  These products are distributed in bulk or packaged.  Principal products include:
 
 
(1) 
Coconut Bon-Bons
  (6) Peanut Brittle
 
(2) 
Coconut Stacks
  (7) Peanut Clusters
 
(3) 
Home Style Poe Fudge
  (8) Champion Crème Drops
 
(4) 
Peco Flake
  (9) Jelly Candies
 
(5) 
Peanut Squares
(10) Frosted Pretzels
 
The Champion Creme Drops, Frosted Pretzels and Jelly Candies are not produced by the Company, but repackaged for wholesale distribution.
 
All products are shipped to customers by commercial haulers.
 
COMPETITION AND MARKET AREA
 
The Chase Candy Products division bars are sold primarily to wholesale candy and tobacco jobbing houses, grocery accounts, vendors and repackers.  “Cherry Mash” bars are marketed in the Midwest region of the United States.  For the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, this division accounted for 57% and 53%, respectively, of the consolidated sales of Dye Candy Company.
 
The Seasonal Candy Products division is sold primarily on a Midwest regional basis to national syndicate accounts, repackers, and grocery accounts.  For the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the division accounted for 43% and 47%, respectively, of the consolidated sales of Dye Candy Company.
 
The Company has no government contracts, foreign operations or export sales.  In addition, all domestic sales are primarily in the Midwest region of the United States.
 
The Company is a seasonal business whereby the largest volume of sales occur in August through December of each year.  The net income per quarter of the Company varies in direct proportion to the seasonal sales volume.
 
Due to the seasonal nature of the business, there is a heavier demand on working capital in the fall and winter months of the year when the Company is building its inventories in anticipation of August through December sales.  The fluctuation of demand on working capital due to the seasonal nature of the business is common to the confectionery industry.  If necessary, the Company has the ability to borrow short-term funds to finance operations prior to receiving cash collections from fall sales.  The Company occasionally offers extended payment terms of up to sixty days.  Since this practice is infrequent, the effect on working capital is minimal.

COMPETITION AND MARKET AREA (CONTINUED)
 
Prompt service and efficient service are traits demanded in the confectionery industry, which results in a continual low volume of back-orders.  Therefore, at no time during the year does the Company have a significant amount of back-orders.
 
The confectionery market for the type of product produced by the divisions of Dye Candy Company is very competitive and quality minded.  The confectionery (candy) industry in which the divisions operate is highly competitive with many small companies and, within certain specialized areas, a few competitors dominate.  In the United States, the dominant competitors in the coconut candy industry are Crown Candy Company, Vermico Candy Company, and the Seasonal Candy Division of Dye Candy Company with approximately 70% of the market share among them.  In the United States, Old Dominion has approximately 80% of the market share of the peanut candy business in which the Seasonal Candy Division operates.  Dye Candy Company sells approximately 95% of its products in the Midwest region with seasonal orders being shipped to the Southern and Eastern regions of the United States.  Except for the coconut candy industry, Dye Candy Company is not a dominant competitor in any of the candy industries in which it competes.  Dye Candy Company’s market share in the coconut industry does not vary significantly from year to year.
 
Principal methods of competition the Company uses include quality of product, price, reduced transportation costs due to central location, and service.  The Company’s competitive position is positively influenced by labor costs being lower than industry average.  Chase General Corporation is firmly established in the confectionery market and through its operating divisions has many years of experience associated with its name.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
The Company has not developed any new products during fiscal years ending June 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
RAW MATERIALS AND PRINCIPAL SUPPLIERS
 
Raw materials and packaging materials are produced on a national basis with products coming from locations throughout the United States.  Raw materials and packaging materials are generally widely available, depending on common market influences.
 
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
 
The largest single revenue producing product, the “Cherry Mash” bar, is protected by a trademark registered with The United States Patent and Trademark Office.  The Company considers this trademark significant to operations.  This trademark expires in the year 2023.  The Company and its legal representatives do not expect any impediment to renewing this trademark prior to its expiration.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had 17 full time employees.  This expands to approximately 31 full time personnel during the busy production months of August through December.

CUSTOMERS
 
For the years ending June 30, 2013 and 2012, one customer accounted for 32% and 31%, respectively, of gross sales, and 15% and 12%, respectively, of accounts receivable.  For the years ending June 30, 2013 and 2012, another customer and its affiliates accounted for 16% and 11%, respectively, of gross sales and 43% and 30%, respectively, of accounts receivable.  No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s sales in fiscal years 2013 and 2012.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND THE EFFECT ON PROBABLE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS ON THE BUSINESS
 
Except as described in the paragraph below and to the best of management’s knowledge, the Company is presently in compliance with all environmental laws and regulations and does not anticipate any future expenditures in this regard.
 
The Company received correspondence from the legal counsel for the Public Building Commission of Chicago (PBC) in August 2012, alleging that the Company previously owned and operated a manufacturing facility in Chicago and that the Company is a liable party for environmental response costs incurred by the PBC in the amount of $822,642.  It is the opinion of Management, after reviewing the letter with counsel, that further information is required to determine the validity of the claim, the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome to the Company, and an amount of potential loss to the Company, if any, at all.  Management believes significant questions need to be resolved and answered before completing its assessment of the validity of the claim.  In the event that a loss were to be incurred by the Company in connection with this claim, the loss would be material.
 
NEED FOR GOVERNMENT APPROVAL OF PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
 
The Company is required to meet the FDA guidelines for proper labeling of its products and for contents of its products.
 
REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS
 
The Registrant is not required to send the annual audit report, annual 10-K report and quarterly 10-Q reports to security holders since the stock is not actively traded.  These reports are available at the Registrant’s registered office or they are available on-line on the SEC’s EDGAR website.

Item 2 PROPERTIES
 
We conduct our operations from two buildings as follows:
 
Chase Warehouse - This building is located in St. Joseph, Missouri and is owned by Dye Candy Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant.  The facility is currently devoted entirely to the storage of supplies, and the warehousing and shipping of candy products.  This warehouse is over seventy years old, is in fair condition and adequate to meet present requirements.  The warehouse has approximately 15,000 square feet and is not encumbered.
 
Chase General Office and Dye Candy Company Operating Plant - This building is located in St. Joseph, Missouri and contains the general offices (of approximately 2,000 square feet) for Chase General Corporation, Dye Candy Company and its divisions.  The production plant of Dye Candy Company occupies the remainder of the building or 18,000 square feet.  The building, specifically designed for the Company, is leased from an entity owned by the Vice-President and Director of the Company and his spouse.  The annual rental expense of this facility was $78,000 for each year ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
The net book value of our premises, land and office, and production equipment was $361,825 and $448,616, respectively, for fiscal years ending June 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
We believe both facilities are adequately covered by insurance.
 
Item 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
The Company received correspondence from the legal counsel for the PBC in August 2012, alleging that the Company previously owned and operated a manufacturing facility in Chicago and that the Company is a liable party for environmental response costs incurred by the PBC in the amount of $822,642.  It is the opinion of management, after reviewing the letter with counsel, that further information is required to determine the validity of the claim, the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome to the Company, and an amount of potential loss to the Company if any at all.  Management believes significant questions need to be resolved and answered before completing its assessment of the validity of the claim.  In the event that a loss were to be incurred by the Company in connection with this claim, the loss would be material.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This report contains statements that plan for or anticipate the future.  Forward-looking statements may include statements about the future of our products and the industry, statements about our future business plans and strategies, and other statements that are not historical in nature.  In this report, forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” and the like.  Readers should carefully review these cautionary statements as they identify certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and from historical trends.  These forward-looking statements are based on the information available to, and the expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by, the Company at the time the statements are made.  These expectations, assumptions and uncertainties include:  the Company’s expectation of heavier demand on working capital in the fall and winter months in anticipation of August through December sales; our belief that the Company has stabilized its customer base; will continue our efforts to expand the existing market area and increase sales to customers; and maintain tight control of all expenditures.
 
OVERVIEW
 
During fiscal year ended 2013, the Company’s net sales were $3,190,787, as compared to net sales of $2,953,665 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.  This 8.0% increase in volume combined with a 2.9% decrease in cost of sales resulted in increased profitability during the year, as reflected in the net income before income taxes of $124,617 for fiscal year 2013 compared to net loss of $151,954 for fiscal year 2012.  Working capital increased $136,627 to $560,106 for the current year from $423,479 for the fiscal year 2012 due to an increase in inventory, trade receivables and cash offset by a decrease in current maturities of notes payable and accounts payable.
 
The following information should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
GENERAL
 
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
9
 

 

 
GENERAL (CONTINUED)
 
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
 
No events have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2013, through the date of filing this form, that would require disclosure in the Form 10-K or would be required to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as of or for the year ended June 30, 2013.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The Company recognizes revenues as product is shipped to customers.  Net sales are comprised of the total sales billed during the period less the estimated returns, customer allowances, and customer discounts.
 
RECEIVABLES
 
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations which generally require payment within thirty days from the invoice date.  Accounts receivable are stated at the invoice amount as no interest is charged to the customer for any past due amounts.  Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, to the earliest unpaid invoices.
 
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that will not be collected.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable.  If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than the historical experience, management’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to the Company could be adversely affected.  All accounts or portions thereof deemed to be uncollectible, or to require an excessive collection cost, are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
INVENTORIES
 
Inventories are carried at the “lower of cost or market value,” with cost being determined on the “first-in, first-out” basis of accounting.  Finished goods and goods in process include a provision for manufacturing overhead.
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts of such assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

FISCAL YEAR 2013 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2012
 
NET SALES
 
During the year ended June 30, 2013, sales, net of returns and allowances, increased $237,122 or 8.0% as compared to the year ended June 30, 2012.  Gross sales for Chase Candy products increased $247,312 or 15.4% to $1,850,738 for the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1,603,426 for 2012.  Gross sales for seasonal candy decreased $26,781 or 1.9% to $1,390,273 for the year ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $1,417,054 for 2012.  The Company’s returns and allowances decreased $17,755 or 22.1% to $62,456 for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to $80,211 for the year ended June 30, 2012.  The Company’s other sales decreased $1,164 or 8.7% to $12,232 for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to $13,396 for the year ended June 30, 2012.
 
The 15.4% increase in gross sales of Chase Candy of $247,312 for the year ended June 30, 2013 over the same period ended June 30, 2012, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) increased sales of Cherry Mash Bar of approximately $246,000 to three customers; 2) increased sales of the 24/12oz. bag of Bite Size Mini Mash by approximately $28,000 primarily due to the timing of Halloween orders; 3) overall decreased sales to Cherry Mash Merchandisers of approximately $1,000; 4) overall decreased sales of the Keg of Mini Mash of approximately $4,000; 5) overall decreased sales of bulk Mini Mash of approximately $7,000 and 6) overall decreased internet sales of various Cherry Mash products of approximately $12,000.
 
The 1.9% decrease in gross sales of Seasonal Candy of $26,781 for the year ended June 30, 2013 over the same period ended June 30, 2012, is primarily due to the following:  1) decreased sales of bulk segment product of $4,000; 2) decreased sales in the clamshell seasonal product category of approximately $9,000; and 3) decreased sales from several customers in the generic segment of approximately $17,000.

COST OF SALES
 
Cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2012, decreased by 2.9%.  The cost of sales decreased $67,498 to $2,246,000 while decreasing to 70.4% of related revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to $2,313,498 or 78.3% of related revenues for the year ended June 30, 2012.
 
The 2.9% decrease in cost of sales of $67,498 is primarily due to a 53% decrease in the raw material costs of peanuts compared to the same period ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease in cost of sales was partially offset by the 8.0% increase in net sales of $237,122.  Due to volatility in the regions where these raw materials are grown, management anticipates the prices of these raw materials to continue to fluctuate primarily based on supply and demand.
 
Labor costs, including wages, vacation pay and payroll taxes of $439,282 for the year ended June 30, 2013, increased 12.8% or $49,700 as compared to $389,582 for the period ending 2012.  The increase was due to increased production.
 
GROSS PROFIT ON SALES
 
The gross profit increased 47.6% or $304,620 to $944,787 increasing to 29.6% of related sales for the year ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $640,167 or 21.67% of related sales for the year ended June 30, 2012, as a result of the overall increase in sales and decrease in cost of sales.
 
Finished goods inventory as of June 30, 2013 of $258,392 increased $20,823 or 8.8% from the June 30, 2012 finished goods inventory of $237,569.  Raw materials inventory as of June 30, 2013 of $81,515 increased $15,603 or 23.7% from the June 30, 2012 raw materials inventory of $65,912.  Packaging materials inventory as of June 30, 2013 of $158,283 increased $26,596 or 20.2% from June 30, 2012 packaging materials inventory of $131,687.  Goods in process inventory as of June 30, 2013 of $10,942 decreased $1,922 or 14.9% from the June 30, 2012 goods in process inventory of $12,864.  Inventory levels vary based primarily on sales and purchases.
 
SELLING EXPENSES
 
Selling expenses for the year ended June 30, 2013 increased $16,985 to $406,247, which is 12.7% of sales, compared to $389,262 or 13.1% of sales for the year June 30, 2012.  This increase is primarily due to higher premium promotions being paid and higher customer show expenses for the period in an effort to increase sales volume.  Premium promotions increased $8,844 or 14.3% to $70,833 for the year ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $61,989 for the year ending June 30, 2012.  Customer show expense increased $6,122 or 376.7% to $7,747 for the year ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $1,625 for the year ending June 30, 2012.
 
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
 
General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2013 increased $27,208 to $430,776, which is 13.5% of sales, compared to $403,568 or 13.7% of sales for the year ended June 30, 2012.  This increase is primarily due to increased professional fees due to higher legal fees offset by a decrease in general taxes and license expense due to decreased personal property taxes.  Professional fees increased $35,661 or 33.5% to $142,225 for the year ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $106,564 for the year ending June 30, 2012.  General taxes and license decreased $7,269 or 51.7% to $6,798 for the year ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $14,067 for the year ending June 30, 2012.

INCOME (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS
 
Income (loss) from operations for the year ended June 30, 2013 was 4.1% of net sales, as compared to (4.8)% of net sales for the year ended June 30, 2012 for the reasons previously described above.

Other income (expense), net, reflects net expense of $(5,401) for the year ended June 30, 2013, as compared to expense of $(10,220) for the year ended June 30, 2012.  This decrease of $4,819 in other income (expense) was primarily due to decreased interest expense.
 
INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAXES
 
Income (loss) before income taxes was $124,617 for the year ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $(151,954) for the year ended June 30, 2012.  The reasons for the increase of $276,571 have been previously discussed above.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
 
The table below presents the summary of cash flow for the fiscal year indicated.
 
   
2013
   
2012
 
             
Net cash provided by operating activities
  $ 101,109     $ 37,552  
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
  $ 18,751     $ (22,680 )
Net cash used in financing activities
  $ (109,245 )   $ (15,695 )
 
Operating Activities
 
The positive cash flow of $101,109 generated from operations is a result of increases in net sales and the Company continuing to monitor raw material pricing, and when a price increase or decrease is anticipated, adjustments to inventory levels are made accordingly.  During the year ended June 30, 2013, sales, net of returns and allowances, increased $237,122 or 8.0% as compared to the year ended June 30, 2012.  Total inventory as of June 30, 2013 of $509,132 increased $61,100 or 13.6% from the June 30, 2012 total inventory of $448,032.  The timing of inventory purchases and collections from customers impact cash flow generated from operations.
 
13
 

 

 
Investing Activities
 
The $18,751 of cash provided by investing activities was the net result of capital expenditures and disposal of equipment for the current fiscal year.  Machinery and equipment cash purchases of $3,749 and $45,680 were made during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Depending on results of operations and cash flows, the Company has plans to replace two cookers at an anticipated cost of $40,000 in the next several years, with no set target date.
 
Financing Activities
 
The Company borrowed $310,050 and $290,000, respectively, on its line-of-credit during the fall of 2012 and 2011 busy seasons.  Payments of $350,050 and $250,000, respectively, were paid for years ending June 30, 2013 and 2012.  The Company entered into a $350,000 line-of-credit agreement expiring on January 3, 2014, with a variable interest rate at prime but not less than 5%.  The line-of-credit agreement replaced two existing line-of-credit agreements that expired on January 3, 2013.  The line-of-credit is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company.  Management anticipates renewal of the line-of-credit agreement at similar terms upon expiration.
 
The Company borrowed and repaid $100,000 on a note payable to a stockholder during the year ended June 30, 2012.  Full payment was due in March 2012.
 
The Company financed $27,245 of vehicle purchases during fiscal year 2012.
 
Loan payments were $69,245 and $55,695 for years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Overall cash and cash equivalents increased $10,615 to $28,564 at June 30, 2013 from $17,949 at June 30, 2012.
 
At June 30, 2013, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $5,647,879, compared to accumulated deficit of $5,764,596 as of June 30, 2012.  Working capital as of June 30, 2013 increased $136,627 to $560,106 from $423,479 as of June 30, 2012.
 
The Company’s lease on its office and plant facility is effective through March 31, 2025, with an option to extend for an additional time of five years, and currently requires payments of $6,500 per month.  At the end of each five year period, the base rent may be increased an amount not greater than 30%, at the sole discretion of lessor.  The facility is leased from an entity owned 100% by the Vice-President and Director and his spouse.
 
In order to maintain funds to finance operations and meet debt obligations, it is the intention of management to continue its efforts to expand the present market area and increase sales to its customers.  Management also intends to continue tight control on all expenditures.
 
There has been no other material impact from inflation and changing prices on net sales, or on income from continuing operations for the last two fiscal years.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors
 
CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
 
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chase General Corporation and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Chase General Corporation and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
Chase General Corporation (the Company) was incorporated on November 6, 1944 in the State of Missouri for the purpose of manufacturing confectionery products.  The Company grants credit terms to substantially all customers, consisting of repackers, grocery accounts, and national syndicate accounts, who are primarily located in the Midwest region of the United States.
 
Significant accounting policies are as follows:
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dye Candy Company.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
SEGMENT REPORTING OF THE BUSINESS
 
The subsidiary, Dye Candy Company, operates two divisions, Chase Candy Products and Seasonal Candy Products.  Chase Candy Products involve production and sale of a candy bar marketed under the trade name “Cherry Mash”.  The Seasonal Candy Products involve production and sale of coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries.  The products of both divisions are sold to the same type of customers in the same geographical areas.  In addition, both divisions share a common labor force and utilize the same basic equipment and raw materials.  Management considers these two divisions as one reportable segment in these consolidated financial statements.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
23
 

 


CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The Company recognizes revenues as product is shipped to customers.  Net sales are comprised of the total sales billed during the period, including shipping and handling charges to customers, less the estimated returns, customer allowances and customer discounts.
 
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
 
Shipping and handling costs for freight expense on goods shipped are included in cost of sales.  Freight expense on goods shipped for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $150,787 and $136,023, respectively.
 
RECEIVABLES
 
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations which generally require payment within thirty days from the invoice date.  Accounts receivable are stated at the invoice amount as no interest is charged to the customer for any past due amounts.  Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, to the earliest unpaid invoices.
 
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that will not be collected.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable.  If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than the historical experience, management’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be adversely affected.  All accounts or portions thereof deemed to be uncollectible, or to require an excessive collection cost, are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
INVENTORIES
 
Inventories are carried at the “lower of cost or market value” with cost being determined on the “first-in, first-out” basis of accounting.  Finished goods and goods in process include a provision for manufacturing overhead.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting.  Temporary differences are differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities reported for financial statement purposes and their tax bases.  Deferred income tax assets are recognized for temporary differences that will be deductible in future years’ tax returns and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Deferred income tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will be taxable in future years’ tax returns.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the dates of enactment.
 
The Company’s policy is to evaluate uncertain tax positions under the guidance as prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Basic Earnings Per Common Share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted Earnings Per Common Share shall be computed by including contingently issuable shares with the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.  When inclusion of the contingently issuable shares would have an antidilutive effect upon earnings per share, diluted earnings per share will be calculated in the same manner as basic earnings per share.
 
The following contingently issuable shares were not included in diluted earnings per common share as they would have an antidilutive effect upon earnings per share:

NOTE 2 - FORGIVABLE LOAN AND DEFERRED INCOME
 
During 2004, the Company received a $25,000 economic development incentive from Buchanan County, which is a five year forgivable loan at a rate of $5,000 per year.  The Nodaway Valley Bank established an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit in the amount of $25,000 as collateral for this loan, with a maturity date of January 3, 2010.  The Company met the criteria of occupying a 20,000 square foot building and creating a minimum of two new full-time equivalent jobs during the first year of operation in the new facility.  In addition, the Company maintained 19 existing jobs during the five year term.  Notice was received February 6, 2009 from the Buchanan County Commission, that the Company had fulfilled its minimum loan requirements so that the loan was forgiven in full and has no further obligations.  Since the Company was no longer legally required to return the monies, the liability was reclassified as deferred revenue and amortized into income over the life of the lease term of the new facility.  Deferred revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term of 20 years.  During the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, deferred revenue of $1,299 was amortized into income for each year.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s principal executive officer, who is also the chief financial and accounting officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on such evaluation, such officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in periodic filings under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Management, including those officers, and to members of the Board of Directors, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 
(b)
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Management has assessed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in relation to criteria described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  Based on this assessment using those criteria, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
 
 
(c)
Changes in Internal Controls
 
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that in management’s estimates are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting subsequent to the date of the evaluation.
