NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Chase General Corporation (“Chase” or “we”, “us”, or “our”) at June 30, 2008 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008 and for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2007 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, 2008. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008 and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. Where appropriate, items within the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified from the previous periods’ presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to fairly present financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods have been included.

NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER SHARE

The income per share was computed on the weighted average of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by including contingently issuable shares with the weighted average shares outstanding. No computation was made on common stock equivalents outstanding for 2007 EPS because loss per share would be anti-dilutive.

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 January 3, 2010. 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 three 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. At December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, a total of $20,000 and $15,000, respectively, had been reclassified to deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term of 20 years. During the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, deferred revenue of $650 was amortized into income for each period.

NOTE 4 - NOTE PAYABLE - VEHICLES

The Company has three vehicle loans payable as follows:

1) $1,001 monthly payments, including interest of -0-%; final payment due March 2011, secured by a vehicle.

2) $573 monthly payments, including interest of 6.99%; final payment due July 2012, secured by a vehicle.

3) $508 monthly payments, including interest of 1.9%; final payments due January 2012, secured by a vehicle.

NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE - BANK

Effective July 1, 2008, the Company had a $250,000 line-of-credit agreement which expired on January 1, 2009. This line-of-credit agreement was renewed on that date to extend until January 3, 2010 with a variable interest rate at prime. The line-of-credit was collateralized by certain equipment. At December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the outstanding balance on the line-of-credit was $-0- and $50,000, respectively.

NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE - STOCKHOLDER

The Company borrowed $140,000, from a stockholder/officer during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, which was repaid by December 31, 2008. These unsecured loans had no maturity date and carried a 4.5% annual interest rate effective September 1, 2008.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standard Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB No. 109 effective July 1, 2007, which clarified the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption, the income tax positions taken for open years are appropriately stated and supported for all open years, and the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $170,706 and $203,000, respectively. However, for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s profit absorbed the available net operating loss carryforward so that no allowance has been recorded for this period. The deferred income taxes for the six months ended December 31, 2008 decreased $24,720 to $(3,806) compared to $20,914 at June 30, 2008.

The net deferred tax assets (liability) are presented in the accompanying balance sheet as follows:

NET SALES

Net sales decreased $8,667 or 1% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 to $1,470,385 compared to $1,479,052 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Gross sales for Chase Candy decreased $81,073 to $477,444 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to $396,371 for 2007. Gross sales for Seasonal Candy decreased $86,052 to $1,008,205 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to $1,094,257 for 2007.

Net sales increased $276,362 or 15% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 to $2,158,842 compared to $1,882,480 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. Gross sales for Chase Candy increased $194,619 to $924,717 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to $730,098 for 2007. Gross sales for Seasonal Candy increased $87,434 to $1,260,809 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to $1,173,375 for 2007.

The 15% increase in net sales of $276,362 for the six month period ended December 31, 2008, over the same period ended December 31, 2007 is due to price increase in the Chase Candy line put into place in April and November of 2008 along with Cherry Mash Bar and Mini Mash sales increasing 61% over last year. In addition, Chase Candy line includes increases for new customer orders of $60,500. Certain Seasonal Candy customers placed orders earlier this year of approximately $85,000, which are reflected in the prior quarter sales rather than in the current quarter. Seasonal sales from new business orders for the six months amounted to approximately $44,000 of the $87,434 increase in net sales, along with an average 6.2% price increase.

COST OF SALES

The cost of sales decreased $12,316 to $1,000,230 decreasing to 68% of related revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $1,012,546 or 69% of related revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The cost of sales increased $117,445 to $1,428,501 decreasing to 66% of related revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $1,311,056 or 70% of related revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2007.

The decrease in cost of sales is a 1% decrease which is proportionate to the 1% decrease in net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as reflected above. Direct costs of goods for materials manufactured and production labor force for the three months ended December 31, 2008 decreased $20,767 to $497,203 as compared to $517,970 for the three months ended December 31, 2007, which includes packaging materials decreasing $23,346 as a result of purchasing a new label machine to print labels in house.

COST OF SALES (CONTINUED)

Direct costs of goods for materials manufactured and production labor force for the six months ended December 31, 2008, increased $59,528 to $1,004,382 as compared to $944,854 for the six months ended December 31, 2007, which is 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.

The Company decreased finished goods inventory for the three months ended December 31, 2008 to $22,742 or 69% from the June 30, 2008 finished goods inventory of $72,651 due to the end of the Company’s busy season. Raw material inventory of $81,609 and packaging materials inventory of $184,300 is 17% higher than the June 30, 2008 inventories of $56,346 raw material and $170,276 packaging materials as a result of purchasing inventory to take advantage of favorable pricing, but not all of this inventory was used during the second quarter ending December 31, 2008.

SELLING EXPENSES

Selling expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2008 increased $13,655 to $157,008, which is 10% of sales, compared to $143,353 or 10% of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2007.

The increase of $13,655 in selling expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2008 is due to higher commissions and premium promotions being paid and sample costs for the period. Commissions and premium promotions, and sample costs increased 11% to $114,522 for this period from $103,393 for the three months ended December 31, 2007.

The increase of $30,480 in selling expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2008 is also due to higher commissions and premium promotions being paid as a result of increased sales along with sample costs for this period. Commissions and premium promotions, and sample costs increased 23% to $150,597 for this period from $122,622 for the six months ended December 31, 2007.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2008 increased $6,984 to $74,237, and increased to 5% of sales, compared to $67,253 or 4% of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2007. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2008 increased $14,449 to $179,959, and decreased to 8% of sales, compared to $165,510 or 9% of sales for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The increased costs are primarily because of a $11,035 increase in costs updating Chase’s website.

NET INCOME APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

Net income applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $142,531, which is a decrease of $49,497 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007 of $192,028.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The table below presents the summary of cash flow for the fiscal period indicated.

	2008			2007
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	435,506		$	65,088
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(12,987	)	$	(503	)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(198,222	)	$	(45,000	)

The $12,987 of cash used in investing activities was the result of capital expenditures. Management has an $18,000 commitment for capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2009. The $198,222 of cash used in financing activities is receipt of $145,000 proceeds from the line-of-credit and payments on the vehicle loans, line-of-credit and stockholder loan. Management believes that the projected cash flow from operations, combined with its existing cash balances, will be sufficient to meet its funding requirements for the foreseeable future. Chase does have $250,000 remaining on its bank line-of-credit, which could be utilized to help fund any working capital requirements.

Management believes that inflation will have only a minimal effect on future operations since such effects will be offset by sales price increases, which are not expected to have a significant effect upon demand.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements include those assumed in computing the carrying value of equipment and allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Any changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject Chase to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. Chase grants unsecured credit to substantially all of its customers. Management does not believe that it is exposed to any extraordinary credit risk as a result of this policy. Chase deposits all monies at the Nodaway Valley Bank. These accounts are insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Chase has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management does not believe Chase is exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues as product is shipped to the 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.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

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 collectibility 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.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. The Company’s property and equipment are being depreciated on straight-line and accelerated methods over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings	39 years
Machinery and equipment	5 – 7 years
Trucks and autos	5 years
Office equipment	5 – 7 years
Leasehold improvements	Lesser of estimated useful life or the lease term

Cash Flows

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, Chase considers all short-term investments purchased with original maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Effective July 1, 2008, Chase adopted Statement of financial Accounting Standard No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have any effect on Chase’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Effective July 1, 2008, Chase adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings cause by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. Most of the provisions of this Statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have any effect on Chase’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”) and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS 160”). These statements significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combinations and noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. These statements will require noncontrolling interests to be reclassified to equity, consolidated net income to be adjusted to include net income attributed to the noncontrolling interest, and consolidated comprehensive income to be adjusted to include the comprehensive income attributed to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are required to be adopted simultaneously. SFAS 141 is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 14, 2008. SFAS 160 is to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially adopted except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively for all periods. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements.
