NOTE 1       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Chase General Corporation (hereinafter referred to as Chase, the Company, we, our, and us) at June 30, 2023 has been taken from audited consolidated financial statements at that date and condensed. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 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-K for the year ended June 30, 2023. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. 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.

Revenue Recognition

The majority of our revenue is derived by fulfilling customer orders for the purchase of our products, including 1) a candy bar marketed under the trade name “Cherry Mash” and 2) coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time that control of the ordered product(s) is transferred to the customer, which is typically upon shipment to the customer. Shipping and handling costs incurred to ship product to the customer are recorded within cost of sales. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as trade receivables on the consolidated balance sheet and require payment on a short-term basis. Generally, individual orders from customers are accounted for as a single performance obligation.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for fulfilling product orders. Sales, value added, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The amount of consideration the Company expects to receive and revenue the Company recognizes includes estimates of variable consideration, including costs for trade promotional programs, customer incentives, and allowances and discounts associated with aged or potentially unsaleable products. These estimates are based upon our analysis of the programs offered, historical trends, and expectations regarding customer and consumer participation, sales and payment trends and our experience with payment patterns associated with similar programs offered in the past. The Company reviews and updates these estimates regularly and the impact of any adjustments are recognized in the period the adjustments are identified.

NOTE 1       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Revenue Recognition (cont.)

The majority of the Company’s products are confectionery and confectionery-based and, therefore, exhibit similar economic characteristics, such that they are based on similar ingredients and are marketed and sold through the same channels to the same customers. The 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. 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. The various divisions of revenue are as follows:

Recently Issued Pronouncements

Effective July 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instrument – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments related to the impairment of financial instruments using the modified retrospective approach, which applies Topic 326 at the beginning of the earliest period presented.  This guidance, commonly referred to as Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”), changes impairment recognition to a model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses.  The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables.  The Company evaluated and determined the amendment did not have a material affect on the condensed consolidated financial statement.  

Subsequent Events

No events have occurred subsequent to March 31, 2024, through the date of filing this form, that would require disclosure in this Form 10-Q or would be required to be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of or for the nine month period ended March 31, 2024.

NOTE 4       INCOME TAXES

The Company follows the provisions for uncertain tax positions as addressed in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740-10. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $33,736 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $9,934 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024.  The income tax benefit is a result of additional net operating losses generated during these periods.  As such, there is no current income tax liability.  As of March 31, 2024, the Company has net operating loss carryovers of $130,875, none of which expire.    

The Company recognized a net deferred tax asset for unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2024.  The Company has no material tax positions at March 31, 2024, for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain, but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.  The Company had no accruals for interest or penalties at March 31, 2024.  The Company’s federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended 2021, 2022, and 2023 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service taxing authority.

NOTE 6      DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, and line-of-credit. There are no significant differences between the carrying value and fair value of any of these financial instruments.

NOTE 7       COMMITMENT, CONTINGENCIES, AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company leases its office and manufacturing facility located in St. Joseph, Missouri under an operating lease from an entity that is partially owned by the son of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The lease term is from February 1, 2005 through March 31, 2025 with an option to extend for an additional term of five years.  During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company determined the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably assured and has therefore remeasured the right-of-use asset and lease liability to include the additional five years at the current rate so that the new term expires on March 31, 2030. The lease currently requires payments of $6,500 per month, as noted the Company does not believe the payments in the renewal period will vary significantly from this current amount.

NOTE 7       COMMITMENT, CONTINGENCIES, AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

An operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liability was recognized based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term. The Company’s operating lease has a remaining term of 6 years and the present value of the lease payments is calculated using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate of 7.6% as of the remeasurement date. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company’s lease agreement does not contain any residual value guarantees. The Company has made a policy election to combine lease and non-lease components, and a policy election to not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases that are less than twelve months. Cash paid for operating lease liabilities was $52,000 and operating lease expense was $58,500 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, of which, $53,673 is included in cost of sales and $4,827 is included in general and administrative expenses.

Minimum annual payments required under existing operating lease liabilities that have initial or remaining noncancelable terms in excess of one year as of March 31, 2024 are as follows:

item 2. management’s discussion and analysis of

financial condition and results of operations

OVERVIEW

Chase General Corporation (Chase) 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.

The Company’s business, like that of many other confectionary product manufacturers, is seasonal. Historically, the Company has realized more of its sales and earnings in the second fiscal quarter, which includes the majority of the holiday shopping season, than in any other fiscal quarter.

SALES (cont.)

The 18% decrease in sales of Chase Candy of $89,451 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 over the same period ended March 31, 2023, is primarily due to the effect of the following: 1) decreased net sales of approximately $120,000 for the Cherry Mash L276 segment, primarily due to delay in shipping for a large, recurring order, which shipped in the same period a year ago; 2) decreased sales to existing customers of the Cherry Mash Merchandisers L200 segment of approximately $6,000 versus the same period a year ago; 3) increase in sales allowances and discounts by approximately $3,000 primarily related to returns from a large customer; offset by 4) increased sales of the L278 Mini Mash segment by approximately $17,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to increased orders from existing customers; 5) increased sales of the L212 Mini Mash segment by approximately $24,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to increased orders from an existing customer.  All decreases noted above are due to decline in quantities sold as management has not implemented a price increase since December 2022.  Management did increase prices on all Chase

Candy products in March 2024 by approximately 14%, however, the majority of revenue increases will not be seen until the fourth quarter.  The Company’s largest customer continues to have price increases at lower negotiated rates.

The 33% decrease in sales of Seasonal Candy of $3,872 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 over the same period ended March 31, 2023, is primarily due to the decline in orders from existing customers, specifically a decline in quantities sold as no specific price increases have been implemented in this category since July 2022.  Management intends to increase prices between 14-20% during the first half of fiscal year 2025.

Sales decreased $86,253 or 3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 to $2,863,886 compared to $2,950,139 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. Sales for Chase Candy decreased $105,766 to $1,359,896 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1,465,662 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. Sales for Seasonal Candy increased $19,513 to $1,503,990 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1,484,477 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023.

The 7% decrease in sales of Chase Candy of $105,766 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2024 over the same period ended March 31, 2023, is primarily due to the effect of the following: 1) decreased net sales of the Cherry Mash Bar L276/L277 segment of approximately $99,000 to existing customers; 2) increase in sales allowances and discounts by approximately $16,000 primarily related to returns from a large customer offset; offset by 3) increased net sales of the Cherry Mash Merchandisers L200/L100 segment of approximately $15,000 to existing customers.  All decreases noted above are due to decline in quantities sold as management has not implemented a price increase since December 2022.  Management did increase prices on all Chase Candy products in March 2024 by approximately 14%, however, the majority of revenue increases will not be seen until the fourth quarter.  The Company’s largest customer continues to have price increases at lower negotiated rates.

The 1% increase in sales of Seasonal Candy of $19,513 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 over the same period ended March 31, 2023, is primarily due decreases in orders in the first and third quarters offset by increases realized in the second quarter.  The overall increase is due to increase in quantities sold as no specific price increases have been implemented in this category since July 2022.  Management intends to increase prices between 14-20% during the first half of fiscal year 2025.

COST OF SALES

The cost of sales decreased $69,924 to $343,657 but increased to 83% of related sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $413,581 or 81% of related sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The cost of sales increased $157,205 to $2,139,868 and increased to 75% of related sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1,982,663 or 67% of related sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2023.

COST OF SALES (cont.)

The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales is related to increases in prices of raw materials and increased labor rates.  Due to volatility in the regions where raw materials are grown, management anticipates the prices of these raw materials to continue to fluctuate primarily based on supply and demand.  Additionally, all employees were given a 5-10% raise at the end of January 2023.  While the Company was able to implement a price increase in December 2022 for the majority of the customers for Chase Candy products, the cost increases noted above continue to outpace the revenue improvements.  Management did increase prices on all Chase Candy products in March 2024 by approximately 14%, however, the majority of revenue increases will not be seen until the fourth quarter.  The Company’s largest customer continues to have price increases at lower negotiated rates.  Management intends to increase prices on seasonal candy between 14-20% during the first half of fiscal year 2025.

SELLING EXPENSES

Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased $2,654 to $67,319, which is 16% of sales, compared to $69,973, or 14% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Selling expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, decreased $4,095 to $274,414, which is 10% of sales, compared to $278,509, or 9% of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2023.

The decrease in selling expenses for both the quarter and the nine months ended March 31, 2024, is primarily due to efforts to minimize selling expenses in an attempt to recover costs not passed along with price increases, specifically in the commission expense line item for approximately $7,000 for both the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024.  However, these savings were further offset by certain freight costs included in this category which have fluctuated throughout the nine months ended March 31, 2024.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, increased $36,097 to $143,689 and 35% of sales, compared to $107,592 or 21% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The increase of $36,097 in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, is primarily due to gain on sale of property and equipment of approximately $26,000 recorded in same period last year, that did not reoccur in 2024 plus increases in dues and subscriptions, professional, insurance, postage and office salaries expenses totaling approximately $13,000. The increase in dues and subscriptions is related to a new subscription fee charge from one of the Company’s largest customers that began in the previous quarter.  These increases were offset by decreases in other miscellaneous general and administrative expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, increased $54,431 to $508,559 and 18% of sales, compared to $454,128 or 15% of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2023.

The increase of $54,431 in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, is primarily due to a gain on sale of property and equipment of approximately $44,000 recorded in same period last year, that did not reoccur in 2024 plus increases in dues and subscriptions and office salaries expenses. Expense for dues and subscriptions increased approximately $13,000 and salaries expense increased approximately $10,000 from the same period last year. These amounts were offset by decreases in other miscellaneous general and administrative expense in addition to decreases in professional fees of approximately $12,000 and decrease in website expense of approximately $4,500.

Management has made no material commitments for capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal year 2024. The $292,178 of cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 is fully detailed in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The $219,280 of cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 is fully detailed in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

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 existing customers. Management also intends to continue tight control on all expenditures. 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. Management has implemented a sales price increase at the end of the third quarter to correspond with changes in raw material prices. Management believes that the projected cash flow from operations combined with the availability on the line of credit and the Company’s ability to generate positive working capital will be sufficient to meet its funding requirements for the foreseeable future.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Forward-Looking Information

This report, as well as our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “continue,” “predict,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. This report contains forward-looking statements regarding, among other topics, our expected financial position, results of operations, cash flows, strategy, and management’s plans and objectives. Accordingly, these forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about a number of important factors. While we believe that our assumptions about such factors are reasonable, such factors involve risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to be different from what appear here. These risk factors include: the estimation process for the retail inventory method of accounting, the ability to adequately pass through customers unanticipated future increases in raw material costs, decreased demand for products, expected orders that do not occur, loss of key customers, the impact of competition and price erosion as well as supply and manufacturing constraints, and other risks and uncertainties. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information contained in this report will prove accurate, and our actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Chase’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Chase’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 not effective as a result of a weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting identified below.

Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed 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.

A material weakness was identified in our internal control over financial reporting due to a lack of accounting personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training to perform an assessment of its internal controls. This has also resulted in a failure to maintain appropriate segregation of duties over system access. Management believes that this material weakness did not have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial results reported herein.  

(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in Chase’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that management’s estimates are reasonably likely to materially affect Chase’s internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of evaluation.
