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, 20192020 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 nine months ended March 31, 20202021 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 20192020 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, 2019.2020. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 20202021 and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.2021. 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 Recognition (Continued)
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for fulfilling product orders. Sales, value add,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 third quarter of the year ending June 30, 20202021 resulting from updated estimates of revenue for prior year product sales were not significant. The companyCompany 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.
The majority of the Company’s products are confectionery and confectionery-based and, therefore, exhibit similar economic characteristics, such that they are based on similar ingredients and are marketed and sold through the same channels to the same customers. The Company operates two divisions, Chase Candy Products and Seasonal Candy Products. Chase Candy Products involve production and sale of a candy bar marketed under the trade name “Cherry Mash”. The Seasonal Candy Products involve production and sale of coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries. Both divisions share a common labor force and utilize the same basic equipment and raw materials. Management considers these two divisions as one reportable segment. The various divisions of revenue are as follows:

NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Recently Adopted PronouncementsRevenue Recognition (Continued)
The Company adopted the guidance of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, (ASC 842) as of July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The comparative information in the prior year has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 840, Leases, which was the accounting standard in effect for that period. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all, and disclose key leasing information. The Company elected a package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which among other things, allows us to carryforward the historical lease classification, and exclude from balance sheet reporting those leases with initial terms of 12 months or less. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. Adoption of the new standard on July 1, 2019 resulted in the recording of operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities in the amount of $376,105. The standard did not materially affect the Company’s consolidated net income or cash flows. See Note 7—Leases for the required disclosures of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The Company adopted ASC 842 on July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method; and therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted for the three months ended March 31, 2019 or as of June 30, 2019.
The Company leases its office and manufacturing facility, located at 1307 South 59th, 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 5.5 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.
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 $58,500 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020,2021, of which, $53,673 is included in cost of sales and $4,827 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 March 31, 20202021 are as follows:

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.
To date, there has been minimal disruption to the supply chain network, including the supply of ingredients, packaging or other sourced materials, though it is possible that more disruptions could occur if the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact markets around the world. The Company has repackaged inventory to continue to fill orders as needed and repurposed employees to better meet the current needs. Cost measures have been put in place to limit any non-essential needs.
The Company believes they have sufficient liquidity to satisfy current cash needs, however, they continue to evaluate and take action, as necessary, to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure that the business can continue to operate during these uncertain times.
The potential impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements could occur as early as the firstfourth quarter of fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 and include, but not limited to: impairment of long lived assets; including property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets related to the Company’s fair value and collectability of receivables and other financial assets.
