NOTE 7         COMMITMENT, CONTINGENCIES, AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company leases its office and manufacturing facility, located at 1307 South 59^th, St. Joseph, Missouri under an operating lease from an entity that is partially owned by the son of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The lease term is from February 1, 2005 through March 31, 2025 with an option to extend for an additional term of five years. The Company does not believe that exercise of the renewal option is reasonably assured, and has not included the additional five years in the lease term. The lease currently requires payments of $6,500 per month.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recognized upon adoption of the lease standard based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term. The Company’s operating lease has a remaining term of 5.5 years and the present value of the lease payments is calculated using the lessor’s implicit rate of 6.43%. 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 non-lease 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 cash paid for operating lease liabilities were $19,500$39,000 for the threesix months ended September 30,December 31, 2020, of which, $17,891$35,782 is included in cost of sales and $1,609$3,218 is included in general and administrative expenses.

Minimum annual payments required under existing operating lease liabilities that have initial or remaining noncancelable terms in excess of one year as of September 30,December 31, 2020 are as follows:

The Company believes they have sufficient liquidity to satisfy current cash needs, however, they continue to evaluate and take action, as necessary, to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure that the business can continue to operate during these uncertain times.

The potential impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements could occur as early as the secondthird quarter of fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 and include, but not limited to: impairment of long lived assets; including property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets related to the Company’s fair value and collectability of receivables and other financial assets.

The increase of $35,653$22,126 in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,December 31, 2020 is primarily due to higher professional fees and insurance expense plus minimal increases in office related expenses.

The $304,160$238,798 of cash used in operating activities for the threesix months ended September 30,December 31, 2020 is fully detailed in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows on page four.five. The $250,770$6,349 of cash providedused by financing activities for the threesix months ended September 30,December 31, 2020 are primarily due to the receipt of $210,000 drawn from a line-of-credit, an increase in outstanding checks in excess of bank balance of $43,921, net of $3,151 of principal payments on equipment and vehicle loans. The proceeds from the line-of-credit during the period ended September 30, 2020 were used to finance the buildup of inventories which is reflected in the cash used in operating activities.

The COVID-19 pandemic is having significant effects on global markets, supply chains, businesses, and communities. Specific to the Company, COVID-19 may impact various parts of its fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 operations and financial results, including the production and sales of goods.

Chase General Corporation and Subsidiary

pART i.     FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Management believes the Company is taking appropriate actions to mitigate the negative impact. However, the full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated as these events are still developing.

Management believes that the projected cash flow from operations, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with its availability on the line-of-credit, 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.
