AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Chase General Corporation (Chase) is a holding company for its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dye Candy Company. This subsidiary is the main operating company that is engaged in the manufacture of confectionery products which are sold primarily to wholesale houses, grocery accounts, vendors, and repackers. The subsidiary (Company) operates two divisions, Chase Candy division and Seasonal Candy division, which share a common labor force and utilize the same basic equipment and raw materials. Therefore, segment reporting for the two divisions is not maintained by management.
The Company’s business, like that of many other confectionary product manufacturers, is seasonal. Historically, the Company has realized more of its revenue and earnings in the fiscal second quarter, which includes the majority of the holiday shopping season, than in any other fiscal quarter.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET SALES
Net sales increased $71,195 or 7% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $1,063,103 compared to $991,908 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Gross sales for Seasonal Candy increased $72,404 to $580,028 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $507,624 for 2014. Gross sales for Chase Candy decreased $95 to $491,985 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $492,080 for 2014. Sales returns and allowances for the Company increased $926 to $9,636 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $8,710 for 2014.
The 14% increase in gross sales of Seasonal Candy of $72,404 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 over the same period ended September 30, 2014, is primarily due to the following: 1) increased volume from various customers in the clamshell seasonal division totaling approximately $15,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to earlier shipments; 2) increased orders from various customers in the generic seasonal division netting approximately $45,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to new customers; and 3) increased orders in the bulk seasonal division totaling approximately $12,000 due to increased sales to existing customers.
The .02% decrease in gross sales of Chase Candy of $95 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 over the same period ended September 30, 2014, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) decreased sales of the L276 Cherry Mash Distributor Pack division by approximately $25,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to earlier shipments; 2) other fluctuations netting to a decrease of approximately $5,900; offset by 3) increased sales of the L212 Mini Mash division by approximately $20,000 versus the same period a year ago due to one customer increasing their orders and 4) increased sales of L100, L200, SK436, and SK2100 Cherry Mash Merchandisers division by approximately $11,000 versus the same period a year ago due to increased orders from existing customers.
COST OF SALES
The cost of sales increased $128,313 to $843,383, or 79% of related sales for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $715,070, or 72% of related sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
The 18% increase in cost of sales of $128,313 is primarily due to the 7% increase in net sales of $71,195, a 10% increase in the raw material cost of peanuts, and a 1% increase in the raw material cost of sugar. Due to volatility in the regions where these raw materials are grown, management anticipates the prices of these raw materials to continue to fluctuate primarily based on supply and demand.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SELLING EXPENSES
Selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased $8,135 to $122,776, which is 12% of sales, compared to $114,641 or 12% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
The increase of $8,135 in selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 is primarily due to higher truck and automobile depreciation expense and higher commissions expense for the period. Truck and automobile depreciation expense increased $3,887 to $13,081 for this period from $9,638 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Commission expense increased $2,478 to $41,585 for this period from $39,107 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to an increase in net sales and to a change in the mix of net sales.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $6,330 to $115,051 and decreased to 11% of sales, compared to $121,381 or 12% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decreased costs are primarily because of a decrease in insurance expense. Insurance expense decreased $10,536 to $22,357 for this period from $32,893 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to a few employees declining health insurance coverage.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other income and (expense) decreased by $11,028 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $107, compared to $11,135 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to a decrease in interest expense of $614, a freight claim of approximately $4,000 and a refund of approximately $7,000 from a customer related to a underpayment written off during the year ended June 30, 2014.
PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded a provision for income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2015 of $1,880 as compared to tax expense of $17,250 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The income tax benefit recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2015 is primarily due to a decrease in deferred tax liabilities.
NET INCOME (LOSS)
The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2015 of $(19,392), compared to net income of $34,701 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease of $54,093 is explained above.

PREFERRED DIVIDENDS
Preferred dividends were $32,018 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, which reflects additional preferred stock dividends in arrears on the Company’s Series A and Series B $5 par value preferred stock and its Series A and Series B $20 par value preferred stock.
NET INCOME (LOSS) APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS
Net loss applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $51,410 which is an decrease of $54,093 as compared to the net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 of $2,683.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The table below presents the summary of cash flow for the fiscal year indicated.

| Net Cash Used in Operating Activities | $ | (260,787 | ) | $ | (272,538 | ) | ||
| Net Cash Used in Investing Activities | (14,082 | ) | (11,386 | ) | ||||
| Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities | 220,577 | 123,295 | ||||||
Management has no material commitments for capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2016. The $14,082 of cash used in investing activities is the purchase of equipment used during the manufacturing process. The $260,787 of cash used in operating activities is fully detailed in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows on page four. The $220,577 of cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to the receipt of $225,000 drawn from a line-of-credit, net of principal payments on equipment and vehicle loans. At September 30, 2015, the Company had $125,000 remaining on the line-of-credit, which could be utilized to help fund any working capital requirements. Management expects that projected cash flows will enable the Company to pay the full balance on the line-of-credit prior to December 31, 2015.
Management believes that the projected cash flow from operations, combined with its existing cash balances, will be sufficient to meet its funding requirements for the foreseeable future.
Management believes that inflation will have only a minimal effect on future operations since such effects will generally be offset by sales price increases, which are not expected to have a significant effect upon demand.
