In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance for the recognition of revenueAccounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from contractsContracts with customers, whichCustomers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective.effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued an update to defer the effective date of this update by one year. The updated standard becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, but allows the Company to adopt the standard one year earlier if it so chooses. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," ("ASU 2015-11"). An entity using an inventory method other than last-in, first out ("LIFO") or the retail inventory method should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new standardguidance clarifies that net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This update is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018, andas of January 1, 2017, with early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluatingcurrently assessing the effect theimpact that adopting this new guidanceaccounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and relatedfootnote 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.

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.  Gross sales for Seasonal Candy increased $1,820 to $1,265,027 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $1,263,207 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.
The 10% decrease in cost of sales of $92,190 is primarily due to the 8% decrease in net sales of $111,272 and a 5% decrease in price of peanuts.
The cost of sales decreased $35,474 to $1,561,127 or 68% of related revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $1,596,601 or 69% of related revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2013.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
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
Selling expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2014 decreased $11,352 to $149,763, which is 12% of sales, compared to $161,115, or 11% of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2013.

The decrease of $11,352 in selling expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2014 is primarily due to lower premium promotions expense and lower commissions expense offset by higher depreciation expense. Premium promotions, which are paid to customers for various marketing reasons, decreased $9,861 to $36,833 for this period from $46,694 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Commissions expense, which are based on sales, decreased $3,842 to $42,019 for this period from $45,861 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Depreciation expense increased $3,532 to $11,908 for this period from $8,376 primarily due to the purchases of property and equipment of $28,767 during the year ended June 30, 2014 combined with the acquisition of a vehicle in December 2014.

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.
The increase of $6,367 in selling expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2014 is primarily due to higher depreciation expense for the period.  Depreciation expense increased $4,795 to $21,546 for this period from $16,751 primarily due to the purchases of property and equipment of $28,767 during the year ended June 30, 2014 combined with the acquisition of a vehicle in December 2014.

ITEM 2.2MANAGEMENT’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.

NET SALES (CONTINUED)

The 11% decrease in gross sales of Chase Candy of $113,940 for the six months ended December 31, 2015 over the same period ended December 31, 2014, is primarily due to the following: 1) decreased sales of the L276 Cherry Mash Distributor Pack division by approximately $88,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to two customers decreasing orders; 2) decreased sales of the L278/L212 Mini Mash division by approximately $10,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to two customers decreasing orders; 3) various other fluctuations netting to a decrease of approximately $6,000; 4) decreased sales of the L279/L299 Bulk Mini Mash division by approximately $4,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to two customers decreasing orders; 5) decreased sales of the Cherry Mash Merchandiser division by approximately $4,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to one customer decreasing orders; and 6) 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.

The 14% increase in gross sales of Seasonal Candy of $180,037 for the six months ended December 31, 2015 over the same period ended December 31, 2014, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) increased sales in the generic seasonal product division by approximately $213,000 due to increased orders from one customer offset by decreased orders of another customer; 2) increased sales in the bulk seasonal division by approximately $34,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to increased orders from one customer; offset by 3) decreased sales in the clamshell seasonal division by approximately $67,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to decreased orders from four customers.
