Competition and Market Area

For the years ended June 30, 20212023 and 2020,2022, this division accounted for 63%57% and 57%60%, respectively, of the consolidated sales of Dye Candy Company.

The Company has no government contracts, foreign operations or export sales. In addition, all domestic sales are primarily in the Midwest region of the United States.
The Company is a seasonal business whereby the largest volume of sales occur in August through December of each year. The earnings per quarter of the Company varies in direct proportion to the seasonal sales volume.
Due to the seasonal nature of the business, there is a heavier demand on working capital in the fall and winter months of the year when the Company is building its inventories in anticipation of August through December sales. The fluctuation of demand on working capital due to the seasonal nature of the business is common to the confectionery industry. If necessary, the Company has the ability to borrow short-term funds to finance operations prior to receiving cash collections from fall sales. The Company occasionally offers extended payment terms of up to sixty days. Since this practice is infrequent, the effect on working capital is minimal.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARYANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 20212023 AND 20202022
NOTE 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Nature of Business
(24)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.
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. Management considers these two divisions as one reportable segment in these consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs for freight expense on goods shipped are included in cost of sales. Freight expense on goods shipped for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $168,442 and $134,620, respectively.
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations which generally require payment within thirty days from the invoice date. Trade receivables are stated at the invoice amount as no interest is charged to the customer for any past due amounts. Payments of trade receivables are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, to the earliest unpaid invoices.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 20212023 AND 20202022
NOTE 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Trade Receivables (Continued)
The carrying amount of trade receivables 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 trade receivables. 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 to the Company could be adversely affected. All accounts or portions thereof deemed to be uncollectible, or that require an excessive collection cost, are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories
Raw material and packaging material inventories are carried at the “lower of cost or net realizable value,” with cost being determined on the “first-in, first-out” basis of accounting. The cost of goods in process include an estimate for manufacturing overhead. Finished goods inventory are valued using the lower of cost or market value, determined by the retail inventory method. Under the retail inventory method, the valuation of finished goods inventory at cost and the resulting gross margins are calculated by applying a cost-to-retail ratio to the retail value of inventories.
Property and Equipment
The Company’s property and equipment is recorded at cost and is being depreciated on straight-line method 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 |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
(25)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.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARYANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KFOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNEIncome 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 income 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 income tax assets are only recognized if it is more likely than not that a tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. Deferred income 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 income tax assets will not be realized. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of relevant information. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will be taxable in future years’ tax returns. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the dates of enactment. Based on the facts, the Company has determined it necessary to reduce their deferred income tax asset with a valuation allowance due to it being more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize all of the deferred income tax assets.
The Company’s policy is to evaluate uncertain tax positions under the guidance as prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes. As of June 30, 2021 AND 2020
2023 and 2022, the Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements. The Company had no accruals for interest or penalties as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Earnings Per Common 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, diluted earnings per share will be calculated in the same manner as basic earnings per share.

Revenue Recognition
The majority of ourthe Company’s 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“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 accountstrade receivables on the consolidated balance sheetsheets 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 add, 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. The adjustments recognized for the year ended June 30, 20212023 and 20202022 resulting from updated estimates of revenue for prior year product sales were not significant. The Company has elected a practical expedient to recognize incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts, which primarily represent sales commissions where the amortization period would be less than one year, as a selling expense when incurred in the consolidated financial statements
statements.
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. Advertising is expensed when incurred and considered as a component of revenue. Advertising expense was $20,121 and $7,115 for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The various divisions of revenue are as follows:

Recently Adopted PronouncementsNOTE 2 FORGIVABLE LOAN AND DEFERRED INCOME
The Company adopted the guidance of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, (ASC 842) as of July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all, and disclose key leasing information. The Company elected a package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which among other things, allows us to carryforward the historical lease classification, and exclude from balance sheet reporting those leases with initial terms of 12 months or less. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. Adoption of the new standard on July 1, 2019 resulted in the recording of operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities in the amount of $376,105. The standard did not materially affect the Company’s consolidated net income or cash flows. See Note 8—Commitments, Contingencies, and Related Party Transactions for the required disclosures of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.
Recently Issued Pronouncements
There have been no newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have, or are expected to have, a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
During 2004, the Company received a $25,000 economic development incentive from Buchanan County, which is a five-yearfive-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-yearfive-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. Deferred revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term of 20 years. During the years ended June 30, 20212023 and 2020,2022, deferred revenue of $1,299 was amortized into miscellaneous income.

The Company’s operating lease has a remaining term of 5.56.75 years and the present value of the lease payments is calculated using the lessor’s implicitCompany’s estimated incremental borrowing rate of 6.43%.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. Additionally, any other short-term leases are immaterial. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and nonlease components and also elected the short-term practical expedient for all leases that qualify. As a result, the Company will not recognize right-of-use assets or liabilities for short-term leases that qualify for the short-term practical expedient, but instead will recognize the lease payments as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease expenses and cashCash paid for the operating lease liabilities wereliability was $84,700 and operating lease expense was $78,000 for the year ended June 30, 2021,2023, of which, $71,565 is included in cost of sales and $6,435 is included in general and administrative expenses.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are further discussed below in Note 11. After considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company does not anticipate significant changes to the concentration of credit risk in the next 12 months.
The COVID-19 pandemic is having significant effects on global markets, supply chains, businesses, and communities. The Company put preparedness plans in place at the manufacturing facility. They have adjusted the number of people allowed at their facilities, enforced social distancing, maintained proper sanitation protocol and have asked that any high risk or employees feeling ill to not come in. The office and sales staff continues to work, while adhering to social distancing guidelines, implementing flexible hours, reducing person-to-person interaction and increasing safety measures.

ITEM 9ACONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s principal executive officer, who is also the chief financial and accounting 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, 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.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s managementManagement is responsible for establishing and maintaining effectiveadequate internal control over financial reporting as(as defined in RuleRue 13a-15(f) underand 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Management has assessedAct) of the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in relationreasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to criteria describedpermit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management, under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive, who is also the chief financial and accounting officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in 2013 Internal Control-IntegratedControl – Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).Commission. Based on this assessment using those criteria,evaluation, management concluded that as of June 30, 2021, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.effective as of June 30, 2023 under the criteria set forth in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework.

ITEM 9ACONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Continued)
A material weakness was identifiedis a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in our internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has determined that material weaknesses exist 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. We believe that this material weakness can be remedied or mitigated through further use of our outside, independent financial consultant.following reasons:
● | The Company has an ineffective control environment due to the lack of the necessary corporate accounting resources with SEC financial reporting experience to ensure consistent, complete and accurate financial reporting, as well as disclosure controls and procedures. The Company has outsourced the financial reporting function to a qualified accounting firm; however, the Company does not have the internal resources to maintain appropriate disclosure controls and procedures. |
● | The Company has limited resources to ensure that necessary internal controls are implemented and followed throughout the Company. The limited resources result in a lack of adequate segregation of duties relating to the authorization, recognition, capture, and review of transactions, facts, circumstances and events that could have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting process. |
This Annual Reportannual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independentour registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independentour registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Companyus to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.annual report.
