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 for two years 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. At March 31, 2007, $10,000 has been reclassified to deferred revenue. During the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, $974 and $325, respectively, has been amortized into income.

ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
NET SALES
Net sales decreased $33,925 or 11% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $285,440 compared to $319,365 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Gross sales for Chase Candy decreased $46,445 to $283,590 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $330,035 for 2006. Gross sales for seasonal candy increased $10,064 to $14,179 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $4,115 for 2006.
Net sales decreased $69,152 or 3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 to $1,932,342 compared to $2,001,494 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. Gross sales for Chase Candy decreased $121,708 to $1,036,066 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $1,157,774 for 2006. Gross sales for seasonal candy increased $39,398 to $925,362 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $885,424 for 2006.
The 11% decrease in net sales of $33,925 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, over the same period ended March 31, 2006, is primarily due to a customer purchasing less this year that accounted for 15% of total Chase Candy sales, where as, in the prior year this same customer accounted for 24% of the Chase Candy sales. This customer in the prior year changed the standard order from a 24 count packaging bag to a 12 count packaging bag. While this year the customer has reduced their orders of 12 count packaging. Year to date net sales had a slight decrease of 3% without any loss of significant customers.
COST OF SALES
The cost of sales decreased $21,531 to $300,872 increasing to 105% of related revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $322,403 or 101% of related revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The cost of sales decreased $97,203 to $1,474,375 decreasing to 76% of related revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $1,571,578 or 78% of related revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2006.
This dollar decrease in cost of sales included 15% or $4,392 in freight out costs for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $25,081 as compared to $29,473 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 along with 18% or $13,893 in labor costs for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $64,372 as compared to $78,265 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
The dollar decrease in cost of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 included 37% or $7,695 in freight-in costs of $13,146 as compared to $20,841 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006; 6% or $6,875 in freight-out costs of $117,554 as compared to $124,429 as of March 31, 2006; and 8% or $23,203 in labor costs of $260,716 as compared to $283,919 as of March 31, 2006. The year to date gross margin of 24% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 improved from 22% as of March 31, 2006 as a result of these decreased costs.

ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
COST OF SALES(CONTINUED)
Finished goods inventory for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $62,831, decreased $8,800 or 12% of the June 30, 2006 finished goods inventory of $71,631. The decrease reflects the Company not having to build and store inventory to meet delivery deadlines, but has the capacity to produce inventory just in time for delivery. Raw material inventory of $48,207 and packaging materials inventory of $124,026 is 46% higher than the June 30, 2006 inventories of $37,202 and $80,675, respectively, as a result of purchasing inventory at competitive prices, but not all of this inventory was used during the third quarter ending March 31, 2007.
