Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation	Note 1 — Basis of Financial Statement Presentatio Description of Business Chase Corporation (the “Company,” “Chase,” “we,” or “us”), founded in 1946, is a leading manufacturer of protective materials for high-reliability applications. Our strategy is to maximize the performance of our core businesses and brands while seeking future opportunities through strategic acquisitions. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, and instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Therefore, they do not include all information and footnote disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of Chase Corporation’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Chase Corporation filed audited consolidated financial statements, which included all information and notes necessary for such complete presentation, for the three years ended August 31, 2016, in conjunction with its 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation. The results of operations for the interim period ended May 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2016, which are contained in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of May 31, 2017, the results of its operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the interim periods ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, and changes in equity for the interim period ended May 31, 2017. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company uses the U.S. dollar as the reporting currency for financial reporting. The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s U.K.-based operations are measured using the British Pound Sterling as the functional currency. The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s operations based in France are measured using the euro as the functional currency. The financial position and results of the Company’s Spray Products (India) Private Limited business in India (which was renamed HumiSeal India Private Limited, effective December 2016) are measured using the Indian rupee as the functional currency. The functional currency for all our other operations is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are determined using current exchange rates for monetary items and historical exchange rates for other balance sheet items, and are recorded as a change in other comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses generated from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of each applicable operation are included in other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and were ($188) and $173 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2017, respectively, and ($552) and $731 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2016, respectively. Other Business Developments On April 3, 2017, Chase executed an agreement with an unrelated third party to sell all inventory, machinery and equipment and intangible assets of the Company’s fiber optic cable components product line for proceeds of $3,858, net of transaction costs and following certain working capital adjustments. The resulting pre-tax gain on sale of $2,013 was recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 as gain on sale of businesses within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Further, the purchaser entered a multiyear lease for a portion of the manufacturing space at the Company’s Granite Falls, NC facility. Chase will provide ongoing manufacturing and administrative support to the purchaser for which the Company will receive additional consideration upon the performance of services. The Company’s fiber optic cable components product line was formerly a part of the Company’s Industrial Materials operating segment. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the sale of the fiber optic cable components product line. On September 30, 2016, the Company acquired certain assets of Resin Designs, LLC (“Resin Designs”), an advanced adhesives and sealants manufacturer, with locations in Woburn, MA and Newark, CA. The business was acquired for a purchase price of $30,270, after final working capital adjustments and excluding acquisition-related costs. As part of this transaction, Chase acquired all working capital and fixed assets of the business, and entered multiyear leases at both locations. The Company expensed $584 of acquisition-related costs during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 associated with this acquisition. The purchase was funded entirely with available cash on hand. Resin Designs is a formulator of customized adhesive and sealant systems used in high-reliability electronic applications. The acquisition broadens the Company’s adhesives and sealants product offering and manufacturing capabilities, and expands its market reach. The Company is currently in the process of finalizing purchase accounting, and anticipates completion within the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017; no adjustments were made in the third quarter to the initial amounts recorded at the end of the second fiscal quarter. Since the effective date of the acquisition, the financial results of Resin Designs’ operations have been included in the Company’s financial statements within the electronic and industrial coatings product line, contained within the Industrial Materials operating segment. See Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the acquisition of the assets and operations of Resin Designs. On June 23, 2016, the Company acquired all the capital stock of Spray Products (India) Private Limited for $1,161, net of cash acquired. This acquired business works closely with our HumiSeal ® coating manufacturing operation in Winnersh, Wokingham, England. The acquisition in India enhances the Company’s ability to provide technical, sales, manufacturing, chemical handling, and packaging services in the region. Since the effective date for this acquisition, the financial results of the business have been included in the Company's financial statements within the Company’s Industrial Materials operating segment in the electronic and industrial coatings product line. Purchase accounting was completed in the quarter ended August 31, 2016. Effective December 2016, Spray Products (India) Private Limited was renamed HumiSeal India Private Limited. See Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the acquisition of the Spray Products (India) Private Limited. In November 2015 (the first quarter of fiscal 2016), the Company sold its RodPack ® wind energy business, contained within its structural composites product line, to an otherwise unrelated party for proceeds of $2,186. The Company’s structural composites product line is a part of the Company’s Industrial Materials operating segment. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the sale of the RodPack wind energy business.

Recent Accounting Standards
Recent Accounting Standards	Note 2 — Recent Accounting Standards Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which will replace most of the existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU 2016-10 “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” all of which provide further clarification to be considered when implementing ASU 2014-09. The ASU will be effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2018 (fiscal 2019), including interim periods in its fiscal year 2019, and allows for either retrospective or modified retrospective methods of adoption. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows; preliminary indications are that Chase will utilize the modified retrospective method of adoption. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements: Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)” which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if “conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.” The guidance applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter (fiscal year 2017 for the Company). The adoption of ASU 2014-15, which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," which requires that debt issue costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts and premiums. Amortization of such costs is still reported as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2015 (fiscal year 2017 for the Company). In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, "Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issue Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements." ASU 2015-15 supplements the requirements of ASU 2015-03 by allowing an entity to defer and present debt issue costs related to a line of credit arrangement as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15, which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (a) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (b) a right-of-use asset, which represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Changes were made to align lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The ASU will be effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2019 (fiscal 2020). Early application is permitted. Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures thereto. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements and classification in the statement of cash flows. The required effective date for adoption of this guidance will be our fiscal year beginning September 1, 2017 (fiscal 2018), with early adoption allowed. The updated standard no longer requires cash flows related to excess tax benefits to be presented as a financing activity separate from other income tax cash flows. The update also allows entities to repurchase more of an employee's shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting, clarifies that all cash payments to taxing authorities made on an employee's behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows, and provides for an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The Company early adopted this standard as of September 1, 2016 and during the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2017 recognized an excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation of $787 and $1,655, respectively, within income tax expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations (adopted prospectively). The adoption did not impact the existing classification of the awards. Excess tax benefits from stock based compensation are now classified in net income in the statement of cash flows instead of being separately stated in financing activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2017 (adopted prospectively). Given the Company’s historical practice of including employee withholding taxes paid within financing activities in the statement of cash flows, no prior period reclassifications are required by the clarifications on classification provided by ASU No. 2016-09. Due primarily to the inclusion of the excess tax benefit, the effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2017 decreased to 30.7% and 31.1%, respectively, compared to effective tax rates of 39.6% and 37.0% recognized for the third quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal 2016, respectively; further, the Company anticipates the potential for increased periodic volatility in future effective tax rates based on the continued application of the ASU No. 2016-09. Following the adoption of the new standard, the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230).” This ASU provides guidance on the presentation and classification of specific cash flow items to improve consistency within the statement of cash flows. The effective date for adoption of this guidance will be our fiscal year beginning September 1, 2018 (fiscal 2019), with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2016-15 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The new guidance dictates that, when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, it should be treated as an acquisition or disposal of an asset. The guidance will be effective for the fiscal year beginning on September 1, 2018 (fiscal 2019), including interim periods within that year, with early adoption permitted. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” This ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Per ASU No. 2017-04, the annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and an impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendments are to be applied on a prospective basis. The required effective date for adoption of this guidance for the Company will be our fiscal year beginning September 1, 2020 (fiscal 2021), with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company early adopted this standard during the second quarter of fiscal 2017; the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation — Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” This ASU applies to all employers that offer to their employees defined benefit pension plans, other postretirement benefit plans, or other types of benefits accounted for under Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits. The ASU requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. The ASU also allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable (e.g., as a cost of internally manufactured inventory or a self-constructed asset). The required effective date for adoption of this guidance for the Company will be our fiscal year beginning September 1, 2018 (fiscal 2019), including interim periods within that annual period. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2017-07 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles	Note 7 — Goodwill and Other Intangibles The changes in the carrying value of goodwill are as follows: Industrial Construction Materials Consolidated Balance at August 31, 2016 $ 32,880 $ 10,696 $ 43,576 Acquisition of Resin Designs, LLC 7,592 — Sale of the fiber optic cable components business (409) — (409) Foreign currency translation adjustment (67) (4) (71) Balance at May 31, 2017 $ 39,996 $ 10,692 $ 50,688 The Company’s goodwill is allocated to each reporting unit based on the nature of the products manufactured by the respective business combinations that originally created the goodwill. The Company has identified eleven reporting units within its two operating segments that are used to evaluate the possible impairment of goodwill. Goodwill impairment exists when the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. Assessments of possible impairment of goodwill are made when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable through future operations. Additionally, testing for possible impairment of recorded goodwill and certain intangible asset balances is required annually. The amount and timing of any impairment charges based on these assessments require the estimation of future cash flows and the fair market value of the related assets based on management’s best estimates of certain key factors, including future selling prices and volumes; operating, raw material and energy costs; and various other projected operating and economic factors. When testing, fair values of the reporting units and the related implied fair values of their respective goodwill are established using discounted cash flows. The Company evaluates the possible impairment of goodwill annually during the fourth quarter, and whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of the following as of May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016: Weighted Average Gross Carrying Accumulated Net Carrying Amortization Period Value Amortization Value May 31, 2017 Patents and agreements years $ 1,816 $ 1,669 $ 147 Formulas and technology years 9,312 5,079 4,233 Trade names years 7,704 5,548 2,156 Customer lists and relationships years 70,101 27,499 42,602 $ 88,933 $ 39,795 $ 49,138 August 31, 2016 Patents and agreements years $ 1,805 $ 1,663 $ 142 Formulas and technology years 8,248 4,310 3,938 Trade names years 7,137 4,909 2,228 Customer lists and relationships years 52,742 22,470 30,272 $ 69,932 $ 33,352 $ 36,580 Aggregate amortization expense related to intangible assets for the nine months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016 was $6,816 and $5,774, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal year 2017 and for the next five years is as follows: Years ending August 31, 2017 (remaining 3 months) $ 2,297 2018 9,152 2019 8,459 2020 7,586 2021 7,042 2022 6,163

Sale of Businesses	Note 8 — Sale of Businesses Sale of Fiber Optic Cable Components Product Line On April 3, 2017, Chase executed an agreement with an unrelated third party, Roblon A/S (“Roblon”), to sell all inventory, machinery and equipment and intangible assets of the Company’s fiber optic cable components product line for proceeds of $3,858, net of transaction costs and following certain working capital adjustments. Given its low-growth and low-margin prospects, and a customer, supplier and equipment base separate from our other businesses, the fiber optic cable components product line, which was formerly part of the Company’s Industrial Materials segment, was determined to not be part of Chase’s long-term strategy. The divesture was accounted for under ASC Topic 360, “Disclosure - Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” In accordance with this accounting standard, the resulting pre-tax gain on sale of $2,013 was recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 as gain on sale of businesses within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Chase received $3,458, net of transaction costs, in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, with the remaining $400 placed in escrow; the portion of the sale price held in escrow was recorded as a non-current asset within other assets as of May 31, 2017, and is available to resolve any submitted claims or adjustments up to 18 months from the closing date of the sale. Subsequent to the sale, Chase will provide ongoing manufacturing and administrative support to the purchaser for which the Company will receive additional consideration upon the performance of services; this arrangement is anticipated to last for multiple years. In the quarter ended May 31, 2017, Chase charged Roblon $301 for manufacturing services, which the Company recognized as revenue, within the Industrial Materials segment, and $40 for selling and administrative expenses, which the Company recognized as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses. Further, the purchaser entered a multiyear lease for a portion of the manufacturing space at the Company’s Granite Falls, NC facility. Chase received $22 in rental income during the third quarter related to this lease, which the Company recognized within other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations Sale of RodPack Business In November 2015, the Company sold its RodPack wind energy business, contained within its structural composites product line, to an otherwise unrelated party for proceeds of $2,186. The Company’s structural composites product line is a part of the Company’s Industrial Materials segment. The Company is not restricted in its use of the net proceeds from the sale. The sale resulted in a pre-tax book gain of $1,031, which was recorded within the condensed consolidated statement of operations as gain on sale of businesses in the quarter ended November 30, 2015. The Company received $1,500 of the proceeds in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, and received two additional payments each for $229 during the quarters ended May 31, 2016 and November 30, 2016. The Company received the final installment payment in June 2017, subsequent to the third quarter of fiscal 2017, and as such, recorded the balance as a current asset (Due from sale of business) as of May 31, 2017. The Company will provide ongoing development support to the buyer for which it will receive additional consideration upon the completion of services. The sale of this business prompted the Company to perform a review of other long-lived assets within the structural composites product line, as the sale of the related intangible assets resulted in a limitation of the Company’s capacity to sell certain other goods produced by the product line. This review resulted in the identification of construction in progress assets with a net book value of $365, which the Company fully wrote down. This charge was recorded within the condensed consolidated statement of operations as write-down of certain assets under construction during the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

The Company had previously reclassified the related long-lived assets to assets held for sale after committing to a plan in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 to actively market the property. The assets held for sale had been reported within Corporate and Common assets as of August 31, 2016. Sale of Former Corporate Headquarters in Bridgewater, MA In October 2016, Chase entered into an agreement to sell its former corporate headquarters and executive offices in Bridgewater, MA. In December 2016, during the second fiscal quarter, the sale was finalized for gross cash proceeds in the amount of $740, resulting in a gain on sale of $68.

Commitments and Contingencies	Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies The Company is involved from time to time in litigation incidental to the conduct of its business. Although the Company does not expect that the outcome in any of these matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, litigation is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, judgments could be rendered or settlements agreed to that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period. The Company routinely assesses all its litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability, and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where we assess the likelihood of loss as probable.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements	Note 12 — Fair Value Measurements The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the inputs used in measuring fair values. These tiers are: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company utilizes the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The financial assets classified as Level 1 and Level 2 as of May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016 represent investments that are restricted for use in a nonqualified retirement savings plan for certain key employees and directors. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016: Fair value measurement category Quoted prices Significant other Significant Fair value in active markets observable inputs unobservable inputs measurement date Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: Restricted investments May 31,2017 $ 1,949 $ 1,906 43 — Restricted investments August 31, 2016 $ 1,637 $ 1,610 27 — The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt (including current portion of long-term debt) as of May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, which is recorded at its carrying value: Fair value measurement category Quoted prices Significant other Significant Fair value in active markets observable inputs unobservable inputs measurement date Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Liabilities: Long-term debt May 31, 2017 $ 20,000 $ — 20,000 — Long-term debt August 31, 2016 $ 43,400 $ — 43,400 — The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates its fair value, as the interest rate is set based on the movement of the underlying market rates.

Acquisitions	Note 14 — Acquisitions Acquisition of Resin Designs, LLC On September 30, 2016, the Company acquired certain assets of Resin Designs, LLC (“Resin Designs”), an advanced adhesives and sealants manufacturer, with locations in Woburn, MA and Newark, CA. This business was acquired for a purchase price of $30,270, after final working capital adjustments and excluding acquisition-related costs. As part of this transaction, Chase acquired all working capital and fixed assets of the business, and entered into multiyear leases at both locations. Resin Designs is a formulator of customized adhesive and sealant systems used in high-reliability electronic applications. The acquisition broadens the Company’s adhesives and sealants product offering and manufacturing capabilities, and expands its market reach. The purchase was funded entirely with available cash on hand. Since the effective date for this acquisition, September 30, 2016, the financial results of the acquired business have been included in the Company’s financial statements within the Industrial Materials operating segment, within the electronic and industrial coatings product line. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” In accordance with this accounting standard, the Company expensed $584 of acquisition-related costs during the first fiscal quarter of 2017 to acquisition-related costs. The Company is currently in the process of finalizing purchase accounting, and anticipates completion within the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017; no adjustments were made in the third quarter to the initial amounts recorded at the end of the second fiscal quarter. The purchase price has been allocated to the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets assumed, based on their fair values as of the date of the acquisition: Assets & Liabilities Amount Accounts receivable $ 1,877 Inventory 1,300 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 63 Property, plant & equipment 623 Goodwill 7,592 Intangible assets 19,450 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (635) Total purchase price $ 30,270 The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired resulted in goodwill of $7,592 that is largely attributable to the synergies and economies of scale from combining the operations, technologies and research and development capabilities of Resin Designs and Chase, particularly as it pertains to the expansion of the Company's product and service offerings, the established workforce and marketing efforts. This goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. All assets, including goodwill, acquired as part of the Resin Designs acquisition are included in the Industrial Materials operating segment. Identifiable intangible assets purchased with this transaction are as follows: Intangible Asset Amount Useful life Customer relationships $ 17,500 10 years Technology 1,200 4 years Trade names 750 7 years Total intangible assets $ 19,450 Supplemental Pro Forma Data The following table presents the pro forma results of the Company for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2017 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2016 as though the Resin Designs acquisition described above occurred on September 1, 2015 (the first day of fiscal 2016). The actual revenue and expenses for the acquired business are included in the Company’s fiscal 2017 consolidated results beginning on September 30, 2016. From the date of acquisition (September 30, 2016) through May 31, 2017, revenue and net income for the Resin Designs operations included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations were $10,399 and $316, respectively, including the effects of $584 in acquisition-related costs, $190 in sale of inventory step-up cost, and additional amortization expense recognized related to intangible assets recorded as part of the transaction. The pro forma results include adjustments for the estimated amortization of intangibles, acquisition-related costs, sale of inventory step-up cost and the income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments at the statutory rate of 35%. The following pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved if the acquisition had been effective on September 1, 2015.

This acquired business works closely with our HumiSeal manufacturing operation in Winnersh, Wokingham, England. The acquisition in India enhances the Company’s ability to provide technical, sales, manufacturing, chemical handling, and packaging services in the region. Since the effective date for this acquisition, the financial results of the business have been included in the Company's financial statements within the Company’s Industrial Materials operating segment in the electronic and industrial coatings product line.

Assets Held for Sale
Assets Held for Sale	Note 16 — Assets Held for Sale The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets against its plans to retain or ultimately dispose of these assets. If the Company decides to dispose of an asset and commits to a plan to actively market and sell the asset, it will be moved to assets held for sale. The Company analyzes market conditions each reporting period, and, if applicable, records additional impairments due to declines in market values of like assets. The fair value of the asset is determined by observable inputs such as appraisals and prices of comparable assets in active markets for assets like the Company's. Gains are not recognized until the assets are sold. Assets held for sale as of May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016 were: May 31, 2017 August 31, 2016 Randolph, MA - Property (1) $ 14 $ 14 Paterson, NJ - Building and leasehold improvements (2) — 590 Total $ 14 $ 604 (1) See Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on Randolph, MA location assets held for sale as of May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016.

Related Party Agreements	Note 17 — Related Party Agreements Reimbursements Related to Life Insurance Policies During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 and the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Edward L. Chase Trust (the “Trust”), owners of two insurance policies on the life of Claire E. Chase, reimbursed the Company for premiums paid on the policies in exchange for the Company’s release of any claims on the policies. In August 2016 (the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016), the Company received $1,238 related to the John Hancock (formerly Manufacturers’ Life Insurance Company) policy, the full value of premiums paid to date by the Company. In September 2016 (the first quarter of fiscal 2017), the Company received $1,504 related to the Metropolitan Life Insurance policy, its then cash surrender value, plus an additional prepaid premium related to the policy. Claire E. Chase is the spouse of a former executive of the Company, Edward L. Chase (deceased), and who in each case are the parents of Peter R. Chase (the Executive Chairman of the Company) and Mary Claire Chase (Director) and the grandparents of Adam P. Chase (the President and CEO of the Company). The Trust is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock. Terms and conditions of these transactions were reviewed and approved by the independent members of the Company's Board of Directors in advance. Sale of Former Corporate Headquarters in Bridgewater, MA In October 2016, Chase entered an agreement to sell its former corporate headquarters and executive offices in Bridgewater, MA. In December 2016, the sale was finalized for gross proceeds of $740, resulting in a gain on sale of $68, which was recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The buyer, Bridgewater State University Foundation, Inc., was deemed a related party because of previously existing professional connections between it and two members of the Company’s Board of Directors, including Peter R. Chase (the Executive Chairman of the Company) and Dana Mohler-Faria (Director). The terms and conditions of the proposed transaction were reviewed and approved by all members of the Company's Board of Directors who were not parties related to the potential buyer, prior to entering the October 2016 agreement. They concluded that the sale price was appropriate, after considering a recent market appraisal of the land and building performed by an independent third party valuation firm.

Long-Term Debt
Long-Term Debt	Note 18 — Long-Term Debt On December 15, 2016, the Company entered an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, acting as administrative agent, and with participation from Citizens Bank and JPMorgan Chase Bank (collectively with Bank of America, the “Lenders”). The New Credit Agreement is initially an all-revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $150,000, which can be increased by an additional $50,000 at the request of the Company and the individual or collective option of any of the Lenders. The New Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and require certain lender approval for acquisitions by the Company and its subsidiaries over a certain size. It also requires us to maintain certain financial ratios on a consolidated basis, including a consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the facility) of no more than 3.25 to 1.00, and a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the facility) of at least 1.25 to 1.00. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of May 31, 2017. The New Credit Agreement is guaranteed by all of Chase’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, including NEPTCO, which had a carrying value of $151,938 at May 31, 2017. The New Credit Agreement was entered both to refinance our previously existing term loan and revolving line of credit, and to provide for additional liquidity to finance potential acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, and for other general corporate purposes. The applicable interest rate for the revolver portion of the New Credit Agreement (the “New Revolving Facility”) and any New Term Loan (defined below) is based on the effective London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an additional amount in the range of 1.00% to 1.75%, depending on the consolidated net leverage ratio of Chase and its subsidiaries. At May 31, 2017, the applicable interest rate was 2.34% per annum and the outstanding principal amount was $20,000. The New Credit Agreement has a five-year term with interest payments due at the end of the applicable LIBOR period (but in no event less frequently than the three-month anniversary of the commencement of such LIBOR period) and principal payment due at the expiration of the agreement, December 15, 2021. In addition, the Company may elect a base rate option for all or a portion of the New Revolving Facility, in which case, interest payments shall be due with respect to such portion of the New Revolving Facility on the last business day of each quarter. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the New Credit Agreement, the Company may elect to convert all or a portion of the outstanding New Revolving Facility into a term loan (each, a “New Term Loan”), which shall be payable quarterly in equal installments sufficient to amortize the original principal amount of such New Term Loan on a seven year amortization schedule; provided, however, that the final principal repayment installment shall be repaid on December 15, 2021 and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date. Prepayment is allowed by the New Credit Agreement at any time during the term of the agreement, subject to customary notice requirements. In connection with entry into the New Credit Agreement, Chase applied proceeds to refinance in full the outstanding principal balance of its preexisting term debt, simultaneously terminating both our previously existing term loan agreement and the previously existing revolving line of credit, which was fully available as of December 15, 2016. As payment of the principal amount of the New Revolving Facility is due at the expiration of the agreement, December 15, 2021, we have classified the outstanding balance as noncurrent on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2017.
