NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Chase Packaging Corporation (“the Company”), a Texas Corporation, previously manufactured woven paper mesh for industrial applications, polypropylene mesh fabric bags for agricultural use, and distributed agricultural packaging manufactured by other companies.

Since January 1, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company has been devoting its efforts to establishing a new business and, accordingly, the Company is being treated as a development stage company in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 915.

Management’s plans for the Company include securing a merger or acquisition, raising additional capital, and other strategies designed to optimize shareholder value. However, no assurance can be given that management will be successful in its efforts. The failure to achieve these plans will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and ability to continue as a going concern.

The interim condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to provide for fair presentation and a reasonable understanding of the information presented. The Interim Condensed Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, previously filed with the SEC.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of March 31, 2014, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, as applicable, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the Company’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which is incorporated herein by reference. Specific reference is made to that report for a description of the Company’s securities and the notes to financial statements.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of 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 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 that are readily convertible into cash with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents balances with high credit quality financial institutions. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents held in financial institutions that were uninsured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the amount of approximately $1,180,000 and $1,222,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured assuming enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized.

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation of “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. There was no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of implementing this guidance. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company evaluated its tax positions and did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress.

NOTE 3 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the exercise of common stock equivalents.

We have excluded 32,030,000 and 29,613,000 common stock equivalents (preferred stock and warrants) from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, which, if included, would have an antidilutive effect.

NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In June 2014 Accounting Standards Update 2014-10 removed the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The Company will adopt this new standard for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Except as indicated above, the Company does not expect the adoption of any other recent accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 5 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING:

On September 7, 2007, the Company completed a private placement, pursuant to which 13,334 units (the “Units”) were sold at a per Unit cash purchase price of $150, for a total subscribed amount of $2,000,100. Each Unit consists of: (1) one share of Series A 10% convertible preferred stock, par value $1.00, stated value $100 (the “Preferred Stock”); (2) 500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 (the “Common Stock”); and (3) 500 warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The proceeds of $2,000,100 were allocated to the instruments as follows:

Warrant liabilities	$	141,027
Redeemable and Convertible Preferred Stock		1,388,367
Common Stock		470,706
Total allocated gross proceeds:	$	2,000,100

Warrants

As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, warrants to purchase 6,909,000 shares were outstanding, having exercise prices at $0.15 and an expiration date at September 6, 2014.

	2014				2013
	Number of warrants		Weighted average exercise price		Number of warrants		Weighted average exercise price
Balance at January 1		6,909,000	$	0.15		6,909,000	$	0.15

Expired during the period		-	$	-		-	$	-

Balance at March 31		6,909,000	$	0.15		6,909,000	$	0.15

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the average remaining contractual life of the outstanding warrants was 0.44 year and 0.68 year, respectively.

NOTE 5 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING - CONTINUED:

The warrants, which were issued to investors in the September 7, 2007, private placement offering, contained a provision for net cash settlement in the event that there was a fundamental transaction (contractually defined as a merger, sale of substantially all assets, tender offer, or share exchange). If a fundamental transaction occurred in which the consideration issued consisted principally of cash or stock in a non-public company, then the warrant holder had the option to receive cash, equal to the fair value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant. Due to this contingent redemption provision, the warrants required liability classification in accordance with ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” (“ASC 480”) and were recorded at fair value. In addition, these warrants were not indexed to the Company’s stock, and therefore also required liability classification under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” (ASC 815).

ASC 820 provides requirements for disclosure of liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to the initial recognition. Fair values for warrants are determined using the Binomial Lattice valuation technique. The Binomial Lattice valuation model provides for dynamic assumptions regarding volatility and risk-free interest rates within the total period to maturity. Accordingly, within the contractual term, the Company provided multiple date intervals over which multiple volatilities and risk free interest rates were used. These intervals allow the Binomial Lattice valuation model to project outcomes along specific paths which consider volatilities and risk free rates that would be more likely in an early exercise scenario.

Significant assumptions are determined as follows:

Trading market values—Published trading market values;

Exercise price—Stated exercise price;

Term—Remaining contractual term of the warrant;

Volatility—Historical trading volatility for periods consistent with the remaining terms;

Risk-free rate—Yields on zero coupon government securities with remaining terms consistent with the remaining terms of the warrants.

Due to the fundamental transaction provision, which could provide for early redemption of the warrants, the model also considered the probability the Company would enter into a fundamental transaction during the remaining term of the warrant. Since the Company is still in its development stage and is not yet achieving positive cash flow, management believes the probability of a fundamental transaction occurring over the term of the warrant is approximately ranging from 0.75% to1.00%. For valuation purposes, the Company also assumed that if such a transaction did occur, it was more likely to occur towards the end of the term of the warrants.

The warrants issued are not only subject to traditional anti-dilution protection, such as stock splits and dividends, but they were also subject to down-round anti-dilution protection. Accordingly, if the Company sold common stock or common stock indexed financial instruments below the stated exercise price, the exercise price related to these warrants would adjust to that lower amount. The Lattice model used to value the warrants with down-round anti-dilution protection provided for multiple, probability-weighted scenarios at the stated exercise price and at five additional decrements/scenarios on each valuation date in order to encompass the value of the anti-dilution provisions in the estimate of fair value of the warrants. Calculations were performed at the stated exercise price and at five additional decrements/scenarios on each valuation date. The calculations provide for multiple, probability-weighted scenarios reflecting decrements that result from declines in the market prices. Decrements are predicated on the trading market prices in decreasing ranges below the contractual exercise price. For each valuation date, multiple Binomial Lattice calculations were performed which were probability weighted by considering both the Company’s (i) historical market pricing trends, and (ii) an outlook for whether or not the Company may need to issue equity or equity-indexed instruments in the future with a price less than the current exercise price.

Effective June 30, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to its Warrant Agreement. The amendment to remove the put and the down round protection feature allows for the Warrants to be treated as equity beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

NOTE 5 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING - CONTINUED:

The following table summarizes the fair value of the warrants as of the balance sheet date:

Fair values	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013		At transaction date

September 7, 2007 financing	$	-	$	-	$	141,027

Warrants issued to the placement agents in the private placement are included with the warrants to investors as they have identical exercise prices and terms.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the number of shares indexed to the warrants was 0.

The following are the assumptions for the valuation of the fair value of the warrant liability:

	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013			At transaction date
Warrants outstanding		-			-			6,909,000

Risk-free interest rate		-	%		-	%		4.14	%
Expected volatility		-	%		-	%		53.94	%

Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock

The principal terms of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock were as follows:

Voting rights – The Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock has voting rights (one vote per share) equal to those of the Company’s common stock.

Dividend rights – The Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock carries a fixed cumulative dividend, as and when declared by our Board of Directors, of 10% per annum, accrued daily, compounded annually and payable in cash upon a liquidation event for up to five years, as well as the right to receive any dividends paid to holders of common stock.

Conversion rights – The holders of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock have the right to convert any or all of their Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock, at the option of the holder, at any time, into common stock on a one for one thousand basis.

Redemption rights –The shares of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, upon written notice by the Company to the holders of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock at any time in the event that the Preferred Stock of one or more holders has not been previously converted. The Company shall redeem each share of Preferred Stock of such holders within thirty (30) days of the Company's delivery of notice to such holders and such holders shall surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Preferred Stock.

NOTE 5 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING - CONTINUED:

Liquidation entitlement – In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to $100 per share of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

At any time on or after August 2, 2011, the Holders of 66 2/3% or more of the Preferred Stock then outstanding could have requested liquidation of their Preferred Stock. In the event that, at the time of such requested liquidation, the Company's cash funds (in excess of a $50,000 reserve fund) then available to effect such requested liquidation were inadequate for such purpose, then such requested liquidation should have taken place (on a ratable basis) only to the extent such excess cash funds were available for such purpose.

Other provisions – There will be proportional adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.

Effective June 30, 2012, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock agreed to an amendment to the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock which deleted the liquidation provisions. As a result, the Convertible Preferred Stock has been classified as equity (rather than temporary equity) in all filings beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

NOTE 6 - DIVIDENDS:

On November 1, 2013, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a ten percent stock dividend on its outstanding Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock. Stockholders of record as of November 15, 2013 received the stock dividend for each share of Series A Preferred Stock owned on that date, payable December 1, 2013. As of November 1, 2013, the Company had 22,704 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding; the total dividend paid consisted of 2,267 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which are convertible into 2,267,000 shares of Common Stock) with a fair value of $226,700 and a total of 14 fractional shares which will be accumulated until whole shares can be issued. Due to the absence of Retained Earnings, the $2,267 par value of Preferred Stock dividend was charged against Additional Paid-in Capital.

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

The Company's 2008 Stock Awards Plan was approved April 9, 2008 by the Board of Directors and ratified at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on June 3, 2008. The 2008 Plan became effective April 9, 2008 and will terminate on April 8, 2018. Subject to certain adjustments, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2008 Plan is 2,000,000 shares. A maximum of 80,000 shares may be granted in any one year in any form to any one participant, of which a maximum of (i) 50,000 shares may be granted to a participant in the form of stock options and (ii) 30,000 shares may be granted to a participant in the form of Common Stock or restricted stock. The 2008 Plan will be administered by a committee of the Board of Directors. Employees, including any employee who is also a director or an officer, consultants, and outside directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the 2008 Plan.

On June 24, 2013, the Company’s Board approved the granting of incentive stock options to the 4 officers and 2 outside directors under the Company’s 2008 Stock Awards Plan for the purchase of 200,000 and 100,000 shares with grant date on June 25, 2013, respectively of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share on June 25, 2013.

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY - CONTINUED:

Stock Option

The fair value of each option was estimated on June 25, 2013 (date of grant) using the following Black-Scholes assumptions:

The Company recognized approximately $1,069 and $0 of stock based compensation costs related to stock options awards for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively and approximately $7,658 for the period from inception to March 31, 2014. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options outstanding at March 31, 2014was $0.0289. As of March 31, 2014, the unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plan was approximately $1,009. These costs will be recognized on a straight line basis over the remaining vesting life which extended to June 30, 2014.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure,” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The three levels are described below:

Level 1 Inputs — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that is accessible by the Company;

Level 2 Inputs — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.

There were no transfers in or out of any level during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013.

Except for those assets and liabilities which are required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in the Company’s balance sheets, the Company has elected not to record any other assets or liabilities at fair value, as permitted by ASC 820. No events occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 which would require adjustment to the recognized balances of assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - CONTINUED:

The Company determines fair values for its investment assets as follows:

Cash equivalents at fair value — the Company’s cash equivalents, at fair value, consist of money market funds — marked to market. The Company’s money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy since they are valued using quoted market prices from an exchange.

The following tables provide information on those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively:

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company’s Board of Directors has agreed to pay the Company’s Chief Financial Officer an annual salary of $17,000. No other officers or directors of the Company receive compensation other than reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Company business and development.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information in this report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This Act provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves provided they identify these statements as forward looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements other than statements of historical fact made in this report are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. The Company’s actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations as a result of many factors.

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company, and notes thereto, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of management. The Company assumes no obligations to update any of these forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company had no operations and its only income was from interest income on its money market fund which is classified as cash. General and administrative expenses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $33,611 and $22,070 respectively. The Company had interest and other income of $34, and a net loss of $33,577 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, compared with interest and other income of $32, and a net loss of $22,038 during the comparable period of 2013. Increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2014 are due primarily to consulting fees and the stock based compensation related to the issuance of stock options to officers and outside directors on June 25, 2013 under the 2008 Stock Award Plan.

Due to the closing of a private placement of the Company’s securities in the third quarter 2007, the Company had a cash balance as of March 31, 2014 of $1,179,986. The proceeds from the 2007 private placement will assist management with its plans to attempt to secure a suitable merger partner wishing to go public or attempt to acquire private companies to create investment value for the Company’s stockholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2014, the Company had cash of $1,179,986. Cash consists of cash held in a bank. Working capital at March 31, 2014 was $1,174,201. Management believes that the Company’s cash is sufficient for its business activities for at least the next 12 months and for the costs of acquiring an operating business.

Net cash of approximately $42,000, and $23,000 were used in operations during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

No cash flows were used or provided by investing activities during the first quarter of 2014 or during the first quarter of 2013.

No cash proceeds were used or provided by financing activities during the first quarter of 2014 or during the first quarter of 2013.

Factors Which May Affect Future Results

Future earnings of the Company are dependent on interest rates earned on the Company’s invested balances and expenses incurred. The Company expects to incur significant expenses in connection with its objective of identifying a merger partner or acquiring an operating business.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Except indicated above, the Company does not expect the adoption of any other recent accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting for the period as disclosed below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Previously, we have restated our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, for the period from January 1, 1999 (inception) to December 31, 2010 and as of and for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2010. As a result of the delay in filing and the time and effort required for filing these restatements, we have not made timely filing of our Forms 10-Q and Forms 10-K, including this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. In connection with management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we identified this delay in filing this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014.

Due to the weakness noted, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014.

Our management does not believe that the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting had a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations or caused our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to contain a material misstatement.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect materially, our internal control over financial reporting.
