NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited and

Corporation's financial position as of December 31, 1996 and June
30, 1996 the results of its operations for the six months and
three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, and its cash flows
for the six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.
While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are
adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested
that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included
in the Company's annual report for June 30, 1996, Form 10-K. All
adjustments made during the period ended December 31, 1996 were
of a normal recurring nature.

outstanding common shares as follows:

because earnings per share would be anti-dilutive.
ITEM 2
CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Chase General and its wholly-owned subsidiary are engaged in the
manufacture of confectionery products which are sold primarily to
wholesale houses, grocery accounts, vendors, and repackers.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 1996, the Company has no commitments for
capitalized expenditures. Cash increased $138,757 during the
current six month period as a result of a profitable busy season
and controlling overhead. Working capital increased
approximately $124,000 for the six month period.
The officers of the corporation and legal counsel continue to
discuss liquidity and capital resource options to resolve the $5
million cumulative preferred stock dividends in arrears.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Six Months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
The Company had no unusual transactions for the six months ended
December 31, 1996. The Company realized a gross profit margin of
28.82% for the six months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to
29.3% for the same period ended a year ago. Net sales increased
$86,000 over the same period a year ago as a result of more
brokerage activity.
Selling expenses are $15,500 higher than the same period a year
ago as a result of more aggressive brokerage activity. General
and administrative expenses remained consistent compared with the
same period a year ago. Interest expense continues to decrease
because of debt retirement.
Inventories at December 31, 1996 were $62,000 higher than at June
30, 1996 due to increased raw materials and packaging materials
on hand. Inventory was increased to take advantage of current
pricing rates than will be available in early spring.
Three Months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
The Company realized a gross profit margin of 30.52% and 31.44%
for the three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Net sales decreased $22,000 over the same period a
year ago. No major customers were lost during this period.
