NOTE 6RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenueamended guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from Contractscontracts with Customers.customers. The updatedguidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required regarding customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The guidance will initially be applied retrospectively using one of two methods. The standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued an update to defer the effective date of this update by one year. The updated standard becomesbe effective for interim andthe entity for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, but allows the Company to adopt the standard one year earlier if it so chooses.including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted beginning for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect thatimpact of the updated standard will haveamended revenue recognition guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," ("ASU 2015-11"). An entity using an inventory method other than last-in, first out ("LIFO") or the retail inventory method should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new guidance clarifies that net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. ThisThe update is effective as of January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statementsstatements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance for the treatment of leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for all operating and finance leases with lease terms greater than one year. The guidance also requires both qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding the nature of the entity’s leasing activities. The guidance will initially be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The amendments in the guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the amended lease guidance on the its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 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.

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. Primarily due to the fluctuations in these raw material prices, gross margins have decreased due to unchanged sales prices during the period. Management intends to make sales price adjustments in the future to correspond with changes in raw material prices.

SELLING EXPENSES

Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased $816 to $73,854, which is 15% of sales, compared to $74,670, or 17% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease of $816 in selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is primarily due to lower automobile expense and premium promotions offset by higher commissions, advertising expense, and customer shows expense.
