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, 2010 and 2009, 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 audits 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 audits 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, 2010 and 2009, 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. Therefore, segment reporting for the two divisions is not maintained by Management and, accordingly, has not been disclosed 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.

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.

 

25


Table of Contents

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS

Shipping and handling costs for freight expense on goods shipped is included in cost of sales. Freight expense on goods shipped for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $135,109 and $156,489, 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.

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

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

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 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 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 tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will be taxable in future years’ tax returns. Deferred 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 ASC 740, Income Taxes. As of June 30, 2010, 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, no diluted earnings per share shall be presented.

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:

 

     2010      2009  

Shares issuable upon conversion of Series A Prior Cumulative Preferred Stock

     400,000         400,000   

Shares issuable upon conversion of Series B Prior Cumulative Preferred Stock

ADVERTISING EXPENSE

Advertising is expensed when incurred. Advertising expense was $640 and $750 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Pursuant to SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) (FASB ASC 105) became the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2009. Reference to specific accounting standards in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements have been changed to refer to the appropriate section of the ASC.

During the third quarter, Chase adopted FASB accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, which amends ASC 855, Subsequent Events. This ASU removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change removes potential conflicts with SEC requirements. Because this update affects the disclosure and not the accounting treatment for subsequent events, the adoption of this provision did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

During the third quarter, Chase adopted FASB ASU No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). This ASU requires new disclosures for transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, and Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The update also clarifies the level disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The requirement related to Level 3 fair value measurements is effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after January 29, 2011. The adoption of the effective portions of this new standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the Company does not expect a material impact to its consolidated financial statements related to the Level 3 fair value disclosures.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”) in response to concerns about the application of certain key provisions of pre-existing guidance, including those regarding the transparency of the involvement with a VIE. Specifically, this new guidance requires a qualitative approach to identifying a controlling financial interest in a VIE and requires ongoing assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and whether an interest in a VIE makes the holder the primary beneficiary of the VIE. In addition, this new guidance requires additional disclosures about the involvement with a VIE and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We plan to adopt the new guidance in fiscal year 2011 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

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. At June 30, 2009, a total of $25,000 was reclassified to deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term of 20 years. During the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, deferred revenue of $1,299 was amortized into income for each period.

Item 9A(T) CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

  (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s principal Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Chief Financial 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, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

The review performed by Chase General Corporation prior to submission to the Security Exchange Commission did not determine the audit report was omitted and only the auditor’s signature and date of the report were included with the Annual 10-K, June 30, 2010 filing. The Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Chief Financial Officer, has changed internal controls and procedures over financial reporting to require his review and approval of the final copy of the report as completed by RR Donnelly prior to submission to the SEC. Form 10-Q for Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2010 filed November 15, 2010 and Form 10-Q for Fiscal Quarter Ended December 31, 2010 filed February 14, 2011 no audit report was required to be filed. Therefore, Form 10-Q for Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2010 and Form 10-Q for Fiscal Quarter Ended December 31, 2010 are not required to amended at this time.

 

  (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, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

The Company concluded that the control over financial reporting did not determine the audit report was omitted prior to submission of the Annual 10-K report to the Security Exchange Commission. The Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Chief Financial Officer, has changed the internal control over financial reporting to require his review and approval of the final copy of the report as completed by RR Donnelly prior to submission to the SEC.

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 was a change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act”) during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that affected internal control over financial reporting.

The additional review by the Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Chief Financial Officer, was the only change to internal control over financial reporting as discussed in item (a) and (b) above.
