NOTE 1 - GENERAL
 
The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Chase General Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Chase”, “we”, “our”, and “us”) at June 30, 2011 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2012 and for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2011 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, 2011. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. 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.
 
No events have occurred subsequent to March 31, 2012, through May 11, 2012, 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, 2012.
 
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.

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 revenue and earnings in the fiscal second quarter, which includes the majority of the holiday shopping season, than in any other fiscal quarter.

NET SALES
 
Net sales increased $51,649 or 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $428,140 compared to $376,491 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Gross sales for Chase Candy increased $5,064 to $384,609 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $379,545 for 2011. Gross sales for Seasonal Candy increased $35,964 to $46,608 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $10,644 for 2011.
 
The 1% increase in gross sales of Chase Candy of $5,064 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 over the same period ended March 31, 2011, is primarily due to the net effect of increased sales of the Cherry Mash Bar of $72,000 primarily due to two customers having increased orders in the third quarter offset by decreases of sales of the 12/12oz. Mini Mash bag to one customer by approximately $44,000, and decreased sales to Cherry Mash Merchandisers of approximately $19,000 for the second straight quarter. The 338% increase in gross sales of Seasonal Candy of $35,964 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 over the same period ended March 31, 2011, is primarily due to increased orders from one customer totaling approximately $34,000 from the clamshell seasonal product category.

ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
NET SALES (CONTINUED)
 
Net sales decreased $19,828 or 1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 to $2,552,201 compared to $2,572,029 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Gross sales for Chase Candy decreased $54,707 to $1,193,037 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $1,247,744 for 2011. Gross sales for Seasonal Candy increased $24,543 to $1,409,593 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $1,385,050 for 2011.
 
The 4% decrease in gross sales of Chase Candy of $54,707 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 over the same period ended March 31, 2011 is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) increased sales of Cherry Mash Bar of approximately $111,000 offset by; 2) decreased sales of the 12/12oz. Mini Mash bag to one customer by approximately $115,000 due to reduced distribution; 3) decreased sales of the 24/12oz. Mini Mash bag to another customer by approximately $35,000 due to the timing of Halloween orders and; 4) overall decreased sales to Cherry Mash Merchandisers of approximately $21,000. The 2% increase in gross sales of Seasonal Candy of $24,543 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 over the same period ended March 31, 2011, is primarily due to the net effect of increased sales from two customers in the clamshell seasonal product category of approximately $102,000 offset by decreased sales from three customers in the bulk seasonal product category of approximately $69,000 and overall decreases in the generic seasonal product category of $6,000.
 
COST OF SALES
 
The cost of sales increased $63,633 to $393,144 increasing to 92% of related revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $329,511 or 88% of related revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
The 19% increase in cost of sales of $63,633 is primarily due to the 14% increase in net sales of $51,649 and the raw material price increases in chocolate, peanuts, and sugar which were not passed along to customers. Direct costs of goods for materials manufactured and net change in inventories for the three months ended March 31, 2012, increased $74,735 or 83% to $164,705 as compared to $89,970 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Increases in chocolate prices were primarily caused by civil unrest in cocoa producing areas of West Africa where decreased supply lead to increased costs. Increases in the price of peanuts was primarily caused by a drought in Texas where decreased supply lead to increased costs. Increases in the price of sugar were primarily caused by increased worldwide demand for sugar and unintentional decreased production levels by sugar producers primarily caused by a domestic drought and a lengthy strike at one domestic sugar company where increased demand and decreased supply lead to increased costs. Management does not anticipate the prices of these raw materials to return to previous levels in the near future. Management is considering and evaluating the need to increase prices charged to customers for future sales.
 
The cost of sales increased $136,768 or 7% to $1,968,646 or 77% of related revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $1,831,878 or 71% of related revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
COST OF SALES (CONTINUED)
 
The 7% increase in cost of sales of $136,768 is primarily due to the 1% decrease in net sales of $19,828 offset by the raw material price increases in chocolate, peanuts, and sugar which were not passed along to customers. Direct costs of goods for materials manufactured and net change in inventories for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, increased $210,587 or 23% to $1,126,276 as compared to $915,689 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Increased chocolate prices were primarily caused by civil unrest in cocoa producing areas of West Africa where decreased supply lead to increased costs. Increases in the price of peanuts was primarily caused by a drought in Texas where decreased supply lead to increased costs. Increases in the price of sugar were primarily caused by increased worldwide demand for sugar and unintentional decreased production levels by sugar producers primarily caused by a domestic drought and a lengthy strike at one domestic sugar company where increased demand and decreased supply lead to increased costs. Management does not anticipate the prices of these raw materials to return to previous levels in the near future. Management is considering and evaluating the need to increase prices charged to customers for future sales. Direct labor cost decreased $43,908 or 13% to $303,833 as compared to $347,741 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, which is primarily due to a decrease of 2,409 production hours worked for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 of 20,012 production hours compared to 22,421 production hours worked for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.
 
The Company decreased total inventory $184,897 or 34% to $358,827 at March 31, 2012 from $543,724 at June 30, 2011 due to the Company’s busy season coming to an end. The Company decreased finished goods inventory 67% at March 31, 2012 to $86,795 from June 30, 2011 of $263,934. The Company increased goods in process inventory 147% at March 31, 2012 to $8,097 from June 30, 2011 of $3,275. The Company increased raw materials inventory 42% at March 31, 2012 to $125,902 from June 30, 2011 of $88,490. The increase in raw materials inventory was primarily due to price increases in chocolate, peanuts, and sugar. The Company decreased packaging materials inventory 27% at March 31, 2012 to $138,033 from June 30, 2011 of $188,025.
 
SELLING EXPENSES
 
Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased $8,007 to $87,662, which is 20% of net sales, compared to $79,655 or 21% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
The increase of $8,007 or 10% in selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is primarily due to higher commissions being paid as sales volume increased 14% during the same period and increased depreciation due to recent vehicles purchased. Commissions increased $3,176 to $12,926 for this period from $9,750 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Depreciation increased $4,902 to $11,484 for this period from $6,582 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
Selling expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 increased $17,757 to $328,383, which is 13% of net sales, compared to $310,626 or 12% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
 
The increase of $17,757 or 6% in selling expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 is primarily due to higher samples sent out in an effort to increase sales volume and increased depreciation due to recent vehicles purchased. Samples increased $5,386 to $33,115 for this period from $27,729 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Depreciation increased $12,231 to $32,390 for this period from $20,159 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
 
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
 
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased $17,874 to $103,967 and increased to 24% of net sales, compared to $86,093 or 23% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011. These increased costs are primarily reflected in insurance expense, professional fees, general taxes and licenses and office salaries.
 
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 increased $40,284 to $323,646 and increased to 13% of net sales, compared to $283,362 or 11% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
 
The $22,680 of cash used in investing activities was the result of capital expenditures. Management has no material commitments for capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2012. The $42,105 of cash used in financing activities was for principal payments on equipment and vehicle loans. Management believes projected cash flow from operations, combined with its existing cash balances, will be sufficient to meet its funding requirements for the foreseeable future. The Company has $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.
