NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Chase General Corporation (“Chase” or “we”, “us”, or “our”) at June 30, 2007 has been taken from audited consolidated financial statements at that date and condensed. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and for the three months ended September 30, 2006 are unaudited and reflect all normal and recurring accruals and adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented in this quarterly report. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2007. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. Where appropriate, items within the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified from the previous periods’ presentation.

NOTE 2 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

The loss per share was computed on the weighted average of outstanding common shares as follows:

In the event of voluntary liquidation, holders of this stock are entitled to receive $5.25 per share plus accrued dividends.

It may be exchanged for common stock at the option of the shareholders in the ratio of 4 common shares for one share of Series A and 3.75 common shares for one share of Series B.

The Company has the privilege of redemption of 5% convertible cumulative preferred stock at $21.00 a share plus unpaid accrued dividends. In the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, holders of this stock are entitled to receive $20.00 a share plus unpaid accrued dividends. It may be exchanged for common stock at the option of the shareholders, in the ratio of 3.795 common shares for one of preferred.

NOTE 3 - 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 has established an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit in the amount of $25,000 as collateral for this loan, with a maturity date of December 31, 2009. The Company has met the criteria of occupying a 20,000 square foot building and the criteria of 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 for two years thereafter and will be required to do so until the five year term has expired. Once the Company is no longer legally entitled to return the monies, the liability will be reclassified as deferred revenue and amortized into income over the life on the lease term of the new facility. As of September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, $10,000 has been reclassified to deferred revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, $325 and $325 has been amortized into income, respectively.

NOTE 4 - NOTE PAYABLE - BANK

The Company has a $250,000 line-of-credit agreement with an original maturity date of January 1, 2008. The line-of-credit is collateralized by certain equipment and bears interest at an annual rate of 8.25%. At September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on the line-of-credit was $175,000. There were no outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit at June 30, 2007.

NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE - STOCKHOLDER

The Company borrowed $45,000 from a stockholder/officer during fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and $20,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2007. These unsecured loans have no maturity date and carry a 5% annual interest rate. The outstanding balance at September 30, 2007 was $65,000. Interest expense on stockholder/officer notes was $481 and $-0- for the three months ending September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES BENEFIT

The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $248,000 as of September 30, 2007. Based on the available objective evidence, it is more likely than not, that the full loss will not be fully utilized. Therefore, an allowance of $148,000 has been recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $100,000 at June 30, 2007. The deferred income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased $3,732 to $19,482 compared to $15,750 at June 30, 2007.

NOTE 7 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of July 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. As of September 30, 2007, we have not recorded any provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 7 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“ SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. This statement clarifies that market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk. A fair value measurement should include an adjustment for risk if market participants would include one in pricing the related asset or liability, even if the adjustment is difficult to determine. This statement also clarifies that market participant assumptions should also include assumptions about the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. This statement clarifies that fair value measurement for a liability should reflect nonperformance risk (the risk that the obligation will not be fulfilled). This statement expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. The disclosures focus on the inputs used to measure fair value and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs and the effect of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issue for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159. The Fair Value Option of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides an option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities using fair value. The standard establishes required presentation and disclosures to facilitate comparisons with companies that use different measurements for similar assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption allowed if SFAS No. 157 is also adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation section and other parts of this Report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from the results and timing discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed or referred to in this report and in Item 6 of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2007.

The following discussion is intended to provide a better understanding of the significant changes in trends relating to Chase’s financial condition and results of operations. Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

OVERVIEW

Chase General is a holding company for its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dye Candy Company. This subsidiary is the main operating Company that is engaged in the manufacture of confectionery products which are sold primarily to wholesale houses, grocery accounts, vendors, and repackers. The subsidiary (Company) operates two divisions, Chase Candy division and Seasonal Candy division, which share a common labor force and utilize the same basic equipment and raw materials. Therefore, segment reporting for the two divisions is not maintained by Management.

ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)

 

NET SALES

Net sales decreased $56,071 or 12% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $403,428 as compared to $459,499 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Gross sales for Chase Candy division decreased $32,910 to $333,727 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $366,637 for 2006. Gross sales for Seasonal Candy division decreased $22,719 to $79,118 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $101,837 for 2006.

The decrease in net sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 for the Chase Candy division is primarily due to a customer continuing to order in 12 count packaging bags, rather than 24 count and at the same time reducing orders from the previous year by $40,000. A customer of Seasonal Candy division ordered earlier last year so that the sale occurred in the first quarter of the prior year. This year orders received will occur in the second quarter, which represented the majority of the decrease in this division’s sales. The Company has received new business orders for the second quarter 2008 of approximately $134,000.

COST OF SALES

The cost of sales decreased $34,899 to $298,510 or 74% of related revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $333,409 or 73% of related revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

The decrease in cost of sales is a 10.5% decrease which is proportionate to the 12% decrease in net sales as reflected above. Direct costs of goods for materials manufactured and production labor force for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased $12,570 to $426,885 as compared to $414,315 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as a result of raw material price increases for sugar—4 cents per pound; peanuts 8 cents per pound and a 4% raise for the production labor force. These costs accounted for the 1.4% decrease in gross profit margin of 27.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to 26% for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Negative cash flows from operating activities were generated for the quarter ended September 2007 in the amount of $(191,649). The negative cash flow is to be expected during this time period, since this is the start of the busy season for the Company as reflected in increased inventories of $394,657 and accounts payable of $228,341 from June 30, 2007 fiscal year end balances of $213,095 inventory and $168,562 accounts payable. The negative cash flows from operating activities required the Company to obtain bank financing totaling $175,000 and $20,000 from a shareholder/officer, which results in net cash provided by financing activities of $195,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Negative cash flows from operating activities were generated for quarter ended September 2006 in the amount of $(186,058), which required net cash provided by financing activities of $175,000 from bank borrowings. Overall cash and cash equivalents increased $2,848 to $25,080 at September 30, 2007 from $22,232 at June 30, 2007.

To date, there are no material commitments by the Company for capital expenditures. At September 30, 2007, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $6,042,168, compared to accumulated deficit of $5,994,857 as of June 30, 2007. Working capital as of September 30, 2007 decreased 20% to $149,192 from $185,508 as of June 30, 2007.

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 existing customers. Management also intends to continue tight control on all expenditures.

There has been no material impact from inflation and changing prices on net sales or on income from continuing operations for the last three months.
