NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES

The Company has received correspondence from the legal counsel for the Public Building Commission of Chicago (PBC) in August 2012, alleging that the Company previously owned and operated a manufacturing facility in Chicago and that the Company is a liable party for environmental response costs incurred by the PBC in the amount of $822,642. It is the opinion of management, after reviewing the letter with counsel, that further information is required to determine the validity of the claim, the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome to the Company, and an amount of potential loss to the Company, if any at all. Management believes significant questions need to be resolved and answered before completing its assessment of the validity of the claim. In the event that a loss were to be incurred by the Company in connection with this claim, the loss would be material.

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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013, and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 2013

The following management comments regarding Chase’s results of operations and outlook should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements included pursuant to Item 1 of the quarterly report.

The following table sets forth certain items as a percentage of net sales and revenues for the periods presented:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

NET SALES

Net sales increased $9,895 or 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $462,112 compared to $452,217 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Gross sales for Chase Candy increased $29,268 to $460,349 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $431,081 for 2013. Gross sales for Seasonal Candy decreased $24,193 to $18,076 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $42,269 for 2013.

The 7% increase in gross sales of Chase Candy of $29,268 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 over the same period ended March 31, 2013, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) increased sales of the L278/L212 Mini Mash division by approximately $17,000 versus the third quarter a year ago due to three customers increasing orders; 2) increased sales of the Cherry Mash Merchandiser division by approximately $12,000 versus the third quarter a year ago primarily due to four customers increasing orders; 3) increased sales of the L279/L299 Bulk Mini Mash division by approximately $1,000 versus the third quarter a year ago; and offset by 4) decreased sales of the L260 Changemaker Jar division by approximately $1,000 versus the third quarter a year ago primarily due to one customer decreasing orders.

The 57% decrease in gross sales of Seasonal Candy of $24,193 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 over the same period ended March 31, 2013, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) decreased sales in the clamshell seasonal division totaling approximately $25,000 versus third quarter a year ago primarily due to decreased orders from one customer and a sales price decrease of approximately 5%; 2) decreased sales in the generic seasonal division by approximately $1,000 versus the third quarter a year ago primarily due to decreased sales to one customer; offset by 3) increased sales in the bulk seasonal division by approximately $1,000 versus the third quarter a year ago primarily due to increased orders from one customer; 4) various other fluctuations netting an increase of approximately $1,000.

Net sales increased $50,905 or 2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 to $2,775,917 compared to $2,725,012 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Gross sales for Chase Candy increased $126,144 to $1,525,743 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1,399,599 for 2013.

The 9% increase in gross sales of Chase Candy of $126,144 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 over the same period ended March 31, 2013, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) increased sales of the L276 Cherry Mash Distributor Pack division by approximately $71,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to two customers increasing orders; 2) increased sales of the L278 Mini Mash division by approximately $2,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to one customer increasing orders 3) increased sales of the L212 Mini Mash division by approximately $20,000 versus the same period a year ago due to one customer increasing orders; 4) increased sales of the Cherry Mash Merchandisers division by approximately $19,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to four customers increasing orders; 5) increased sales of the L279/L299 Bulk Mini Mash division by approximately $19,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to one customer increasing orders; 6) various other fluctuations netting an increase of approximately $4,000; and offset by 7) decreased sales of the L260 Changemaker Jar division by approximately $9,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to two customers decreasing orders.

The 6% decrease in gross sales of Seasonal Candy of $87,953 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 over the same period ended March 31, 2013, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) decreased orders from various customers in the bulk seasonal division netting approximately $16,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due a sales price decrease of approximately 5%; 2) decreased orders from various customers in the clamshell seasonal division totaling approximately $109,000 versus the same period a year ago due to decreased orders and a sales price decrease of approximately 5%; 3) various other fluctuations netting a decrease of approximately $3,000; and offset by 4) increased orders in the generic seasonal division by approximately $40,000 due to increased sales to one customer.

COST OF SALES

The cost of sales increased $20,113 to $372,767 or 81% of related revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $352,654 or 78% of related revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The 6% increase in cost of sales of $20,113 is primarily due to the 2% increase in net sales of $9,895 and a 12% increase in the raw material costs of peanuts compared to the same period ended March 31, 2013. 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

	Nine Months Ended
	March 31
	2014			2013

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	391,421		$	339,813
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities	$	(27,439	)	$	20,275
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(56,191	)	$	(94,284	)

Management has no material commitments for capital expenditures during the next 12 months. The $56,191 of cash used in financing activities is due to principal payments on equipment and vehicle loans. At March 31, 2014, the Company had $350,000 available on the line-of-credit, which could be utilized to help fund any working capital requirements.

Management believes that the projected cash flow from operations, combined with its existing cash balances, will be sufficient to meet its funding requirements in the foreseeable future.

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.

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, the Chief Executive Officer and Management has concluded that Chase’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective 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.

(b)	Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

	The Company has received correspondence from the legal counsel for the Public Building Commission of Chicago (PBC) in August 2012, alleging that the Company previously owned and operated a manufacturing facility in Chicago and that the Company is a liable party for environmental response costs incurred by the PBC in the amount of $822,642. It is the opinion of management, after reviewing the letter with counsel, that further information is required to determine the validity of the claim, the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome to the Company, and an amount of potential loss to the Company, if any at all. Management believes significant questions need to be resolved and answered before completing its assessment of the validity of the claim. In the event that a loss were to be incurred by the Company in connection with this claim, the loss would be material.
