PART I
ITEM 1 BUSINESS
(a) General development of business
(1) Narrative history of business
Chase General Corporation was incorporated November 6, 1944 for
the purpose of manufacturing confectionery products. In 1970
Chase General Corporation acquired a 100% interest in its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Dye Candy Company. (Chase General
Corporation and Dye Candy Company are sometimes referred herein
as "the Company"). This subsidiary is the main operating company
for the reporting entity. There were no material acquisitions,
dispositions, new developments, or changes in conducting business
during the past five fiscal years. However, as of June 30, 1987,
the working capital of the Company became impaired due to the
maturity of $696,000 of notes payable. During the fiscal year end
1991 a portion of the notes were paid in full and the remaining
notes were extended to December 20, 1994. Negotiation of a second
extension of the notes began during fiscal year ended 1995. An
extension to December 20, 2002 was unanimously accepted December
20, 1995 with the agreement that this will be the final
extension. Refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in Part
II of this filing for further information.
(2) Not applicable.
(b) Financial information about industry segments
The subsidiary, Dye Candy Company, operates two divisions, Chase
Candy Company and Poe Candy Company. Operations in Chase Candy
Company involve production and sale of a candy bar marketed under the
trade name "Cherry Mash". Operations in Poe Candy Company involve
production and sale of coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge
confectioneries. Division products are sold to the same type of
customers in the same geographical areas. In addition, both divisions
share a common labor force and utilize the same basic equipment and
raw materials. Due to the similarities in the products manufactured,
segment reporting for the two divisions is not maintained by
Management and, accordingly, is not available for inclusion in this
filing.
(c) Narrative description of businesses
(1) Description of business done and intended to be done by dominant
single industry
(i) The principal products produced and methods of distribution
are as follows:
(Continued)

ITEM 1 BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
Chase Candy Division of Dye Candy Company produces a candy bar
under the trade name of "Cherry Mash". The bar is distributed
in four case sizes:
(1) 60 count pack
(2) 12 boxes of 24 bars per box
(3) 200 count shipper box
(4) 96 count shipper box
In addition to the regular size bar, a "mini-mash" is
distributed in four case sizes:
(1) 24 - 12 oz. bags
(2) 6 jars - 60 bars per jar
(3) 23 # wrapped bars
(4) 22 # unwrapped bars
The bars are sold primarily to wholesale candy and tobacco
jobbing houses, grocery accounts, and vendors. "Cherry Mash"
bars are marketed in the Midwest region of the United States.
For the years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, this
division accounted for 62%, 57%, and 61%, respectively, of the
consolidated revenue of Dye Candy Company.
Poe Candy Division of Dye Candy Company produces coconut,
peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries. These products
are distributed in bulk or packaged. Principal products
include:
(1) Coconut Bon-Bons (6) Peanut brittle
(2) Coconut Stacks (7) Peanut clusters
(3) Home Style Poe Fudge (8) Champion Creme Drops
(4) Peco Flake (9) Jelly Candies
(5) Peanut Squares (10) Coconut Cubes
The Poe line is sold primarily on a Midwest regional basis to
national syndicate accounts, repackers, and grocery accounts.
For the years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, this
division accounted for 38%, 43%, and 39%, respectively, of the
consolidated revenue of Dye Candy Company. The Company
discontinued the coconut cubes during the year ended June 30,
2000.
(ii) Not applicable.
(iii) Raw materials and packaging materials are produced on a
national basis with products coming from most of the states of
the United States. Raw materials and packaging materials are
generally widely available, depending, of course, on common
market influences.
(Continued)

ITEM 1 BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
(iv) The largest single revenue producing product, the "Cherry Mash"
bar, is protected by a trademark registered with the United
States Government Patents Office. Management considers this
trademark very important to the Company. The trademark was
renewed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1985. This
trademark expires in the year 2003. Management and its legal
representatives do not expect any impediment to renewing this
trademark prior to its expiration.
(v) The Company is a seasonal business whereby the largest volume
of sales occur in the spring and fall of each year. The net
income per quarter of the Company varies in direct proportion
to the seasonal sales volume.
(vi) Due to the seasonal nature of the business, there is a heavier
demand on working capital in the summer and winter months of
the year when the Company is building its inventories in
anticipation of fall and spring sales. The fluctuation of
demand on working capital due to the seasonal nature of the
business is common to the confectionery industry. If necessary,
the Company has the ability to borrow short-term funds in early
fall to finance operations prior to receiving cash collections
from fall sales. The Company occasionally offers extended
payment terms of up to sixty days. Since this practice is
infrequent, the effect on working capital is minimal.
(vii) For the years ending June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, Associated
Wholesale Grocers, accounted for 20.43%, 25.64%, and 20.01% of
gross sales, respectively. For the years ending June 30, 2002,
2001, and 2000, Wal-Mart and its affiliates accounted for
16.12%, 28.54%, and 20.08% of gross sales, respectively. The
loss of Associated Wholesale Grocers would not have an adverse
effect on the Company as the customer purchases and distributes
to retail outlets and these outlets would continue to demand
products offered by Dye Candy Company. However, due to the
affiliation certain outlets have with Wal-Mart, a loss of this
customer would reduce gross sales. The Company continues to
seek additional markets for its products.
(viii) Prompt, efficient service are traits demanded in the
confectionery industry, which results in a continual low volume
of back-orders. Therefore, at no time during the year does the
Company have a significant amount of back-orders.
(ix) Not applicable.
(Continued)

ITEM 1 BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
(x) The confectionery market for the type of product produced by
the divisions of Dye Candy Company is very competitive and
quality minded. The confectionery (candy) industry in which
the divisions operate is highly competitive with many small
companies and, within certain specialized areas, a few
competitors dominate. In the United States, the dominant
competitors in the coconut candy industry are Bradley Candy
Company, Crown Candy Company, Vermico Candy Company, and the
Poe Division of Dye Candy Company with approximately 70% of
the market share among them. In the United States, Sophie
Mae and Old Dominion have approximately 80% of the market
share of the peanut candy business in which the Poe Division
operates. Dye Candy Company sells approximately 90% of its
products in the Midwest region with seasonal orders being
shipped to the Southern and Eastern regions of the United
States. Except for the coconut candy industry, Dye Candy
Company is not a dominant competitor in any of the candy
industries in which it competes. Dye Candy Company's market
share in the coconut industry approximates 15% to 20%
annually. This does not vary significantly from year to
year. Principal methods of competition the Company uses
include quality of product, price, reduced transportation
costs due to central location, and service. The Company's
competitive position is positively influenced by labor costs
being lower than industry average. Chase General Corporation
is firmly established in the confectionery market and
through its operating divisions has many years' experience
associated with its name.
(xi) Not applicable.
(xii) To the best of management's knowledge, the Company is
presently in compliance with all environmental laws and
regulations and does not anticipate any future expenditures
in this regard.
(xiii) The Company employs approximately 20 full time personnel
year round. This expands to approximately 50 full time
personnel during the two busy production seasons in spring
and fall.
(d) Foreign and domestic operations and export sales
The Company has no foreign operations or export sales. In addition,
all domestic sales are primarily in the Midwest region of the United
States.

ITEM 2 PROPERTIES
The registrant operates out of two buildings consisting of the following:
Chase and Poe Warehouse - This building located in St. Joseph, Missouri
is owned by Dye Candy Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
registrant. The facilities are currently devoted entirely to the storage
of supplies, and the warehousing and shipping of candy products. This
warehouse consists of a sixty-nine year old building which is in fair
condition and is adequate to meet present requirements. The warehouse has
approximately 15,000 square feet and it is not encumbered.
Chase General Office and Dye Candy Company Operating Plant - The building
housing the office and plant is located in St. Joseph, Missouri, and was

property was leased from the purchaser in March, 1975. Refer to Note 3,
"Notes to Financial Statements," for terms of the lease. The building
contains the general offices of Chase General Corporation, Dye Candy
Company, and its divisions. The production plant of Dye Candy Company
occupies the remainder of the building. The building was acquired new in
1964 and was specifically designed for the type of operations conducted
by the registrant. The facility is adequate to meet present requirements.
The operating plant is approximately 20,000 square feet and the office is
approximately 2,000 square feet. The Company renegotiated the original
lease on this building which expired March 31, 1995. The terms of the new
lease began April 1, 1995 and continues for ten years.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(a & b) Liquidity and capital resources
Positive cash flows from operating activities were generated for
fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000 in the amounts of
$126,472, $74,261, and $28,797, respectively.
At various times during the years, and in anticipation of heavier
cash demands due to seasonal production, plant improvements, and/or
major promotional programs, it is the Company's practice to invest
in short term U.S. Treasury obligations or financial institution
certificates of deposit. At June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000 the
Company had $100,000, $50,000, and $100,000, respectively, invested
in short term certificates of deposit to meet the 2002, 2001, and
2000 fall production season.
The Company continually monitors raw material pricing, and when a
price increase/decrease is anticipated adjustments to inventory
levels are made accordingly. Raw materials decreased approximately
$57,000 from June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002. Raw materials increased
approximately $27,000 from June 30, 2000 to June 30, 2001. Raw
materials at June 30, 2000 were comparable to prior year. Purchase
commitments at June 30, 2002 were approximately $101,000 higher than
at June 30, 2001. This increase was due to approximately $49,000 in
peanut contracts over prior year, approximately $16,000 increase in
coconut commitments, and approximately $36,000 additional purchase
commitments of chocolate over prior year. The Company watches
markets for these commodities and purchases are made accordingly.
Packaging materials are purchased in large volumes and carried for
several years due to the high cost from suppliers to cut dies and
print materials. Therefore, when supplier pricing remains consistent
over the years and is not predicted to increase, the Company
utilizes its present inventory supply without making additional
purchases necessary to lock in pricing. Packaging materials were
comparable from June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002. Packaging inventory
decreased approximately $59,000 from June 30, 2000 to June 30, 2001.
The decrease was due to the higher than normal purchase in 2000.
These inventory items were purchased during the year ending June 30,
2000 to replenish inventory used in the current and prior years
production. These items were purchased in quantities large enough to
fulfill the Company's packaging needs for several seasons.
Finished goods inventory did not significantly change from June 30,
2001 to June 30, 2002. The slight increase was due to timing of
customer purchases of the Cherry Mash products.
Finished goods inventory did not significantly change from June 30,
2000 to June 30, 2001. The slight decrease was due to timing of
customer purchases of the Cherry Mash products. Goods in process
remained comparable to prior years.
(Continued)

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The Company continues to write off equipment that is no longer useful
to the operations of the Company. These write offs have been
immaterial over the past three years. The Company also continues to
replace old equipment on a yearly basis in order to streamline
operations. However, due to cash flow needs in other areas, the
Company has not been able to update the equipment at any significant
level. Expenditures of $13,574 were made during the year ended June
30, 2000 to upgrade existing production equipment, in addition to
$40,053 of expenditures made to update transportation and office
equipment. Expenditures of $53,626 were made to upgrade and replace
transportation and office equipment during the year ended June 30,
2001. Expenditures of $3,637 were made during the year ended June 30,
2002 to upgrade existing production equipment. In addition, $24,759
was expended to update transportation and office equipment. Depending
on results of operations and cash flows, the Company is hoping to
replace their antiquated brittle cookers in the next several years
with no set target date.
For the past nine years, the Company has not been indebted except for
the series B notes. Of the outstanding amount at June 30, 2001,
$77,672 is classified long-term and $-0- is classified as current. On
December 20, 1995, the Company received approval to extend the notes
to December 20, 2002 at the current 6% rate of interest, with the
agreement that this will be the final note extension. Of the
outstanding amount at June 30, 2002, $51,010 is classified as current
and $-0- is classified as long-term. Realizing that the minimum yearly
principal payment required by the note indenture will not satisfy the
notes on December 20, 2002, the Company has accelerated the principal
payments on the notes during the past four fiscal years. It is
anticipated that acceleration of principal payments will continue as
cash flow has been adequate for operations and equipment replacement
and the balance is expected to be paid by December 20, 2002.
The Company's lease on its manufacturing facility expired March 31,
1995. The lease was renewed effective April 1, 1995 for a period of 10
years at $2,955 per month.
During the year ended June 30, 2001, net sales decreased 7% from June
30, 2000 through June 30, 2001. The decrease was due to promotions
with customers in the prior year which were discontinued.
Additionally, in the prior year receivables from certain customers
were written off. The Company did not do business with these customers
in the current year. Cost of sales decreased by 5% from June 30, 2000
through June 30, 2001 due to the decrease in net sales.
Operating expenses increased by 5.8% from June 30, 2000 through June
30, 2001. This increase was due to increased selling expenses. Selling
expenses increased from the prior year by $15,252 due to commissions
and bonuses given to employees during the year. While most general and
administration expenses remained constant, insurance expense increased
by $9,265 as rates for general and liability insurance continues to go
up. The Company was aggressive in their collection efforts and write
offs decreased by $17,865 from June 30, 2000 through June 30, 2001.
The aging of accounts receivable is reviewed on a regular basis and
accounts which become overdue are pursued for collection.
(Continued)
9
ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
During the year ended June 30, 2002, net sales decreased 7% from June
30, 2001 through June 30, 2002. The decrease was due to fewer sales to
customers as these customers' number of operating facilities continued
to decrease. In addition, sales decreased due to the uncertainty of
the economy and terrorism activities on 9/11. Cost of sales decreased
12% from June 30, 2001 through June 30, 2002 due to the decrease in
net sales, as well as, more efficient production, and a reduction in
payroll due to fewer employees needed for the operation of the company
facilities.
Operating expenses increased by 5% from June 30, 2001 through June 30,
2002. This increase was due to increased selling expenses. Selling
expenses increased from the prior year by $13,889 due to promotions,
bill backs, etc. as the Company continued to attempt to expand its
business. While most general and administration expenses remained
constant, insurance expense increased by $5,860 as rates for general
and liability insurance continues to go up. The Company continued to
be aggressive in their collection efforts. The aging of accounts
receivable is reviewed on a regular basis and accounts which become
overdue are pursued for collection.
Under the leadership of the CEO and his sales staff, the Company has
stabilized its customer base. Certainly some customers were lost
during 2002, but the Company is working to replace those customers.
The Company continues to look for new markets but only when the
addition of a new market is profitable.
In order to maintain funds to finance operations and meet debt
obligations, it is the intention of management to continue its efforts
to expand the present market area and increase sales to its customers.
Management also intends to continue tight control on all expenditures.
There has been no material impact from inflation and changing prices
on net sales and revenues or on income from continuing operations for
the last three fiscal years. The Company does not feel that any
accounting changes, as proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board, with effective dates after the date of this report, will have a
material effect on future financial statements of the Company.
The Company's only computer application, SBT software, involves the
payroll processing accounting function.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Chase General Corporation was incorporated on November 6, 1944 in the State of
Missouri for the purpose of manufacturing confectionery products. The Company
grants credit terms to substantially all customers, consisting of repackers,
grocery accounts, and national syndicate accounts, who are primarily located in
the Midwest region of the United States. The Company's fiscal year ends June 30.
Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented below:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dye Candy Company. All intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
SEGMENT REPORTING OF THE BUSINESS
The subsidiary, Dye Candy Company, operates two divisions, Chase Candy Company
and Poe Candy Company. Operations in Chase Candy Company involve production and
sale of a candy bar marketed under the trade name "Cherry Mash". Operations in
Poe Candy Company involve production and sale of coconut, peanut, chocolate, and
fudge confectioneries. Division products are sold to the same type of customers
in the same geographical areas. In addition, both divisions share a common labor
force and utilize the same basic equipment and raw materials. Due to the
similarities in the products manufactured, segment reporting for the two
divisions is not maintained by Management and, accordingly, has not been
disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
19
CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVENTORIES
Inventories are carried at the "lower of cost or market value," with cost being
determined on the "first-in, first-out" basis of accounting. Finished goods and
goods in process include a provision for manufacturing overhead.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
The Company's property and equipment are being depreciated on straight-line and
accelerated methods over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 25 years
Machinery and equipment 3 - 10 years
Trucks and autos 3 - 5 years
Office Equipment 5 - 10 years
Leasehold improvements 8 - 31.5 years
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenues as product is shipped to the customers. Net
sales are comprised of the total sales billed during the period less the
estimated returns, customer allowances, freight paid on these shipped goods, and
customer discounts.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.
INCOME TAXES
The Company has no significant timing differences that would give rise to
deferred tax items.
This information is an integral part of
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NOTES PAYABLE, SERIES B
On December 1, 1967, the Company issued Collateral Sinking Fund 6% Income
Registered Notes in the amount of $680,000. These notes were issued to extend
and consolidate notes and certificates of indebtedness then held by F. S. Yantis
& Co., Inc. (Yantis & Co.), aggregating approximately $569,000 together with
unpaid accrued interest of $111,000. Interest is payable from "surplus net
earnings" on the 20th day of December following the year-end.
Pursuant to a supplemental indenture, dated April 1, 1968 and executed in
compliance with a request by Yantis & Co. in furtherance of the winding-up of
its affairs, the original notes aggregating $680,000 were reissued in two series
designated as A and B, respectively. The Series A notes aggregating $50,000 had
priority and were retired during the year ended June 30, 1984. The Series B
notes totaling $630,000 are held by the former shareholders of Yantis & Co.
During the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, $26,662 and $50,000 principal was
paid on the Series B notes, respectively.
As of June 30, 2002 and 2001, the outstanding Series B notes total $51,010 and
$77,672, respectively. Of these amounts $22,032 and $29,376, respectively are
owed to officers and directors of the Company.
The Company has agreed to secure the payment of principal and interest on the
notes by the pledge of the capital stock of Dye Candy Company under an indenture
dated December 1, 1967, and supplemental indenture dated June 30, 1970.
The indenture provides for a sinking fund deposit to be made by the Company each
year of not less than one-fourth of the Company's fiscal year "surplus net
earnings," which exceeds the amount of interest required to be paid on the
outstanding notes. If at any time the sinking fund deposits aggregate $10,000 or
more, the same will be applied to prepayment of the notes outstanding. At June
30, 2002 and 2001, there was no sinking fund requirement. The "surplus net
earnings" is the amount by which the consolidated net income, after adding back
the current year's interest on the outstanding notes, exceeds a $25,000 working
capital reserve.
See Note 2 for computation of "surplus net earnings" and sinking fund
requirements for years ended June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NOTES PAYABLE, SERIES B (CONTINUED)
Principal payments are made by the trustee under terms of the indenture and may
be prepaid at the option of the Company. During the year ended June 30, 1991,
the notes were extended to December 20, 1994. Effective December 20, 1995, the
notes were extended to December 20, 2002 at the same 6% interest rate and with
the agreement that this will be the final note extension.
Dividends, other than stock dividends, may not be paid on capital stock at any
time interest on the notes is not current.

equivalents, trade receivables and payables, and notes payable. There are no
significant differences between the carrying value and fair value of any of
