NOTE 3—FORGIVABLE LOAN AND DEFERRED INCOME
During 2004, the Company received a $25,000 economic development incentive from Buchanan County, which is a five year forgivable loan at a rate of $5,000 per year. The Nodaway Valley Bank has established an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit in the amount of $25,000 as collateral for this loan, with a maturity date of December 31, 2009. The Company has met the criteria of occupying a 20,000 square foot building and the criteria of 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 the year thereafter and will be required to do so until the five year term has expired. Once the Company is no longer legally obligated to return the monies, the liability will be reclassified as deferred revenue and amortized into income over the life on the lease term of the new facility. As of December 31, 2006, $10,000 was reclassified to deferred revenue and $1,299 has been amortized into income.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section and other parts of this Report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from the results and timing discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed or referred to in this report and in Item 6 of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006.
The following discussion is intended to provide a better understanding of the significant changes in trends relating to Chase’s financial condition and results of operations. Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

The following table sets forth certain items as a percentage of net sales and revenues for the periods presented:

ITEM 2.—MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
NET SALES
Net sales decreased $71,777 or 6% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $1,187,403 compared to $1,259,180 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Gross sales for Chase Candy decreased $36,236 to $385,839 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $422,075 for 2005. Gross sales for seasonal candy decreased $45,193 to $809,346 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $854,539 for 2005.
Net sales decreased $35,227 or 2% for the six months ended December 31, 2006 to $1,646,902 compared to $1,682,129 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. Gross sales for Chase Candy decreased $75,263 to $752,476 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $827,739 for 2005. Gross sales for seasonal candy increased $29,874 to $911,183 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $881,309 for 2005.
The 6% decrease in net sales of $71,777 for the three month period ended December 31, 2006, over the same period ended December 31, 2005, is primarily due to seasonal candy customers ordered earlier this year, which was reflected in the previous quarter. The Chase sales decrease of $36,236 was due to a customer ordering the 12 count packaging product rather than 24 count packaging to date. Year to date net sales had a slight decrease of 2% without any loss of significant customers.
COST OF SALES
The cost of sales decreased $39,081 to $840,094 increasing to 71% of related revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2006, compared to $879,175 or 70% of related revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The cost of sales decreased $75,672 to $1,173,503 decreasing to 71% of related revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2006, compared to $1,249,175 or 74% of related revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2006.
This dollar decrease in cost of sales included 5% or $32,486 in direct materials and labor costs for the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $669,623 as compared to $702,109 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The Company decreased finished goods inventory for the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $19,986 or 72% of the June 30, 2006 finished goods inventory of $71,631 due to the end of the Company’s busy season. Raw material inventory of $42,027 and packaging materials inventory of $117,455 is 35% higher than the June 30, 2006 inventories of $37,202 raw material and $80,675 packaging as a result of purchasing inventory at competitive prices but not all of this inventory was used during the second quarter ending December 31, 2006. Included in the cost of sales are labor costs for the three months ended December 31, 2006 that decreased 19% or $23,469 to $99,356 as compared to $122,825 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. This decrease is a result of using the same personnel for the second busy season in the new facility and not needing to hire temporary personnel.

ITEM 2.—MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
SELLING EXPENSES
Selling expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2006 decreased $2,427 to $110,400, which is 9% of sales, compared to $112,827 or 9% of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Selling expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2006 decreased $3,099 to $164,813, which is 10% of sales, compared to $167,912 or 10% of sales for the six months ended December 31, 2005. No significant change in selling expenses was expected due to the fact that there have been no significant changes in the nature of operations and management’s efforts to control these costs.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2006 increased $30,351 to $89,076, and increased to 8% of sales, compared to $58,725 or 5% of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2005.
