NOTE 1 - GENERAL
The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Chase General Corporation (“Chase” or(hereinafter referred to as “Chase”, “we”, “us”“our”, or “our”and “us”) at June 30, 2009 has been taken from audited consolidated financial statements at that date and condensed. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008March 31, 2009 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, 2009. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and cash flows for the threenine months ended September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. Where appropriate, items within the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified from the previous periods’ presentation. 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.
Pursuant to SFAS No. 168,“The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) (FASB ASC 105) became the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2009. Reference to specific accounting standards in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements have been changed to refer to the appropriate section of the ASC.
Management has performedIn June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”) in response to concerns about the application of certain key provisions of pre-existing guidance, including those regarding the transparency of the involvement with a VIE. Specifically, this new guidance requires a qualitative approach to identifying a controlling financial interest in a VIE and requires ongoing assessment of whether an evaluationentity is a VIE and whether an interest in a VIE makes the holder the primary beneficiary of eventsthe VIE. In addition, this new guidance requires additional disclosures about the involvement with a VIE and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that have occurredinvolvement. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We plan to adopt the new guidance in fiscal year 2011 and do not expect a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
During the third quarter, Chase adopted FASB accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, which amends ASC 855, Subsequent Events. This ASU removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent to September 30, 2009, and as of November 11, 2009 (the date of filing of this Form 10-Q). Thereevents have been no other subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this Form 10-Q or would be required to be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of or for the three month period ended September 30, 2009.evaluated. This change removes potential conflicts with SEC requirements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements include those assumed in computing the carrying value of equipment and allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.trade receivables. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Any changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject Chase to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. Chase grants unsecured credit to substantially all of its customers. Management does not believe that it is exposed to any extraordinary credit risk as a result of this policy. Chase deposits all monies at the Nodaway Valley Bank. These accounts are insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Chase has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management does not believe Chase is exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents.

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 including shipping and handling charges to customers, less the estimated returns, customer allowances and customer discounts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that will not be collected. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectibilitycollectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than the historical experience, management’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be adversely affected.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Pursuant to SFAS No. 168,“The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) (FASB ASC 105) became the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2009. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have any effect on Chase’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The adoption impacted references to specific accounting standards in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements which have been changed to refer to the appropriate section of the ASC.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
During the third quarter, Chase adopted FASB accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, which amends ASC 855, Subsequent Events. This ASU removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change removes potential conflicts with SEC requirements.
Effective July 1, 2008, Chase adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(FASB ASC 825) – Including an amendment of FASBStatement of Financial Accounting Statement No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities(FASB ASC 320).ASC 825 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings cause by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. ASC 825 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. Most of the provisions of this Statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to ASC 320 applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. The adoption of ASC 825 did not have any effect on Chase’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),Business Combinations (FASB ASC 805) and SFAS No. 160,Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements(FASB ASC 810). These statements significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combinations and noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. These statements will require noncontrolling interests to be reclassified to equity, consolidated net income to be adjusted to include net income attributed to the noncontrolling interest, and consolidated comprehensive income to be adjusted to include the comprehensive income attributed to the noncontrolling interest. ASC 805 and ASC 810 are required to be adopted simultaneously. ASC 805 is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 14, 2008. ASC 810 is to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially adopted except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively for all periods. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of ASC 805 and ASC 810 did not have any effect on Chase’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
