NOTE 1       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Chase General Corporation (hereinafter referred to as Chase, we, our, and us) at June 30, 2021 has been taken from audited consolidated financial statements at that date and condensed. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 are unaudited and reflect all normal and recurring accruals and adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented in this quarterly report. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to fairly present financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods have been included.

Revenue Recognition

The majority of our revenue is derived by fulfilling customer orders for the purchase of our products, including 1) a candy bar marketed under the trade name “Cherry Mash” and 2) coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time that control of the ordered product(s) is transferred to the customer, which is typically upon shipment to the customer. Shipping and handling costs incurred to ship product to the customer are recorded within cost of sales. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as accounts receivables on the balance sheet and require payment on a short-term basis. Generally, individual orders from customers are accounted for as a single performance obligation.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for fulfilling product orders. Sales, value added, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The amount of consideration the Company expects to receive and revenue the Company recognizes includes estimates of variable consideration, including costs for trade promotional programs, customer incentives, and allowances and discounts associated with aged or potentially unsaleable products. These estimates are based upon our analysis of the programs offered, historical trends, and expectations regarding customer and consumer participation, sales and payment trends and our experience with payment patterns associated with similar programs offered in the past. The Company reviews and updates these estimates regularly and the impact of any adjustments are recognized in the period the adjustments are identified. The adjustments recognized in the second quarter of the year ending June 30, 2022 resulting from updated estimates of revenue for prior year product sales were not significant. The Company has elected a practical expedient to recognize incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts, which primarily represent sales commissions where the amortization period would be less than one year, as a selling expense when incurred in the financial statements.

Interest	$	4,028	$	2,416

NOTE 6      DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, and notes payable. There are no significant differences between the carrying value and fair value of any of these consolidated financial instruments. As of December 31, 2021, the amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with a borrowing rate available to the Company.

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 3.25 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.

NOTE 7       COMMITMENT, CONTINGENCIES, AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

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 $39,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2021, of which, $35,782 is included in cost of sales and $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 December 31, 2021 are as follows:

Twelve Months Ending December 31,	Amount
2022	$	78,000
2023		78,000
2024		78,000
2025		19,500
Total Lease Payments		253,500
Less: Imputed Interest		25,284

NOTE 8       CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

The COVID-19 pandemic is having significant effects on global markets, supply chains, businesses, and communities. The Company put preparedness plans in place at the manufacturing facility. They have adjusted the number of people allowed at their facilities, enforced social distancing, maintained proper sanitation protocol and have asked that any high risk or employees feeling ill to not come in. The office and sales staff continues to work, while adhering to social distancing guidelines, implementing flexible hours, reducing person-to-person interaction and increasing safety measures.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The table below presents the summary of cash flow for the fiscal period indicated.

	Six Months Ended
	December 31,
	2021		2020
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	427,679	$	238,798
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities	$	(122,547)	$	(6,349)

Management has made no material commitments for capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2022. The $427,679 of cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2021 is fully detailed in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows on page five. The $213,737 of cash used in financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2021 is fully detailed in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows on page five.

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, 2022 operations and financial results, including the production and sales of goods. 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.

Forward-Looking Information

This report, as well as our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

This report contains forward-looking statements regarding, among other topics, our expected financial position, results of operations, cash flows, strategy, and management’s plans and objectives. Accordingly, these forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about a number of important factors.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Chase’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Chase’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as a result of a weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting identified below.

Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in periodic filings under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Management, including those officers, and to members of the board of directors, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A material weakness was identified in our internal control over financial reporting due to a lack of accounting personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training to perform an assessment of its internal controls. This has also resulted in a failure to maintain appropriate segregation of duties over system access. Management believes that this material weakness did not have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial results reported herein.  We believe that this material weakness can be remedied or mitigated through further use of our outside, independent financial consultant.

(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in Chase’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that management’s estimates are reasonably likely to materially affect Chase’s internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of evaluation.
