NOTE 6 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting guidance for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers, which will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

There have been no other newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have, or are expected to have, a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

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 December 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2013, and Six Months Ended December 31, 2014 Compared to Six Months Ended December 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:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

	NET SALES

	Net sales decreased $111,272 or 8% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 to $1,291,273 compared to $1,402,545 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Gross sales for Chase Candy decreased $10,569 to $546,728 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $557,297 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Gross sales for Seasonal Candy decreased $90,077 to $757,403 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $847,480 for the three months ended December 31, 2013.

	The 11% decrease in gross sales of Seasonal Candy of $90,077 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 over the same period ended December 31, 2013, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) decreased sales in the clamshell seasonal division by approximately $64,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to the timing of orders from three customers; 2) decreased sales in the bulk seasonal division by approximately $54,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to the timing of orders from three customers and decreased orders from one customer; offset by 3) increased sales in the generic seasonal product division by approximately $28,000 due to increased orders from one customer along with the introduction of new packaging.

	The 2% decrease in gross sales of Chase Candy of $10,569 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 over the same period ended December 31, 2013, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) decreased sales of the L276 Cherry Mash Distributor Pack division by approximately $34,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to one customer decreasing orders; 2) decreased sales of the L279/L299 Bulk Mini Mash division by approximately $16,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to the timing of orders from one customer and to one customer decreasing orders; 3) various other fluctuations netting to a decrease of approximately $3,000; 4) decreased sales of the L260 Changemaker Jar division by approximately $1,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to one customer decreasing orders; offset by 5) increased sales of the L278/L212 Mini Mash division by approximately $27,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to four customers increasing orders; and 6) increased sales of the Cherry Mash Merchandiser division by approximately $16,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to four customers increasing orders.

	Net sales decreased $30,624 or 1% for the six months ended December 31, 2014 to $2,283,181 compared to $2,313,805 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. Gross sales for Chase Candy decreased $26,586 to $1,038,808 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $1,065,394 for the three months ended December 31, 2013.

	NET SALES (CONTINUED)

	The 3% decrease in gross sales of Chase Candy of $26,586 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 over the same period ended December 31, 2013, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) decreased sales of the L276 Cherry Mash Distributor Pack division by approximately $75,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to one customer decreasing orders; 2) decreased sales of the L279/L299 Bulk Mini Mash division by approximately $15,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to two customers decreasing orders; 3) various other fluctuations netting to a decrease of approximately $2,000; 4) decreased sales of the L260 Changemaker Jar division by approximately $1,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to one customer decreasing orders; offset by 5) increased sales of the L278/L212 Mini Mash division by approximately $51,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to two customers increasing orders; and 6) increased sales of the Cherry Mash Merchandiser division by approximately $16,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to four customers increasing orders.

	The slight increase in gross sales of Seasonal Candy of $1,820 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 over the same period ended December 31, 2013, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) increased sales in the generic seasonal product division by approximately $17,000 due to increased orders from one customer along with the introduction of new packaging; 2) increased sales in the clamshell seasonal division by approximately $7,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to increased orders from one customer; offset by 3) decreased sales in the bulk seasonal division by approximately $22,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to decreased orders from three customers.

	COST OF SALES

	The cost of sales decreased $92,190 to $846,057 or 66% of related revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $938,247 or 67% of related revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2013.

	COST OF SALES (CONTINUED)

	The 2% decrease in cost of sales of $35,474 is primarily due to the 1% decrease in net sales of $30,624 and a 5% decrease in the price of peanuts. 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.

	Selling expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2014 increased $6,367 to $264,404, which is 12% of sales, compared to $258,037 or 11% of sales for the six months ended December 31, 2013.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

	LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) Management has no material commitments for capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2015. The $33,876 of cash used in investing activities is the purchase of equipment used during the manufacturing process and an automobile. The $342,808 of cash provided by operating activities is fully detailed in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows on page seven. The $18,437 of cash used in financing activities is the principal payments on equipment and vehicle loans. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $350,000 remaining 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 for 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.
