NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Chase General Corporation and subsidiary (`the Company') operates in the
confectionery products industry. As of March 31, 2003, the Company's operations
were primarily conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dye Candy Company.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and
do not include certain information and disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete
financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to present
fairly the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations,
have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results for a full year.
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is presented on pages
19 and 20 (not shown) of its 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders. Users of
financial information produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to
the footnotes contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders when reviewing
interim financial results. There has been no material change in the accounting
policies followed by the Company during the nine months ended March 31, 2003.
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.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Chase General and its wholly-owned subsidiary are engaged in the manufacture of
confectionery products which are sold primarily to wholesale houses, grocery
accounts, vendors, and repackers.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2002:
Income from Operations
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased 3% to $248
thousand from $241 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2002. The
increase was primarily attributable to improved sales from an increase in prices
to retailers of their chocolate products.
The gross profit margin was 9.57% in the three months ended March 31, 2003
compared to 1.4% in the comparable 2002 period. A reduction in the Company's
cost for raw peanuts and discontinuing several repackaging items had the impact
of improving the 2003 gross profit margin percentage. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased 18%, primarily due to termination of the
Company's sales manager in January and not putting a replacement into place
until late March, as well as paying less sales incentive bonuses.
Loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $59,552,
which represented a 40% decrease from the $98,620 loss reported during the
comparable 2002 period.
NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2002:
Income from Operations
Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 increased 4% to $1.597
million from $1.532 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2002. The
increase was primarily attributable to a wider distribution of mini mash
produced for a major customer and an increase in the prices to retailers of
their chocolate products.
The gross profit margin was 23.9% in the nine months ended March 31, 2003
compared to 25.1% in the comparable 2002 period. Revamping packaging to a clam
shell, and manufacturing labor rate increases, had the impact of increasing
costs by 5.9%. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 6%,
primarily due to reduced office and sales personnel and lower sales incentive
bonuses.
Income from operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 was $48,013,
which represented a 22% increase from the $39,456 income reported during the
comparable 2002 period.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2003, the Company anticipates no capital expenditures. Cash
increased $25,114 during the current nine month period.
Inventories increased $6,624 for this nine month period ending March 31, 2003,
which is indictive of the Company being in its slower business cycle.
The Company believes that cash flow from Dye Candy Company's operating
activities and cash on hand will be adequate to meet its liquidity requirements.
Cash and cash equivalents were $213,642 at March 31, 2003 compared to $188,528
at June 30, 2002. Working capital at March 31, 2003 was $425,401 and the current
ratio was 6.7 to 1 compared to working capital at June 30, 2002 of $352,776 and
a current ratio of 3.3 to 1. The increase in working capital is primarily due to
the Company's completion of its busy season with an improvement in sales.
CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2003
was $57,253 compared to cash provided of $152,619 in the nine months ended March
31, 2002. The decrease in cash provided by operations for the nine months ended
March 31, 2003 compared to the same period ended March 31, 2002 was mainly due
to reduced payables.
MARKET RISK
The Company's debt securities with a stated interest rate are not subject to
market risk for changes in interest rates. There have been no material changes
from the information provided in the June 30, 2002 Form 10-K.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report does not contain forward-looking statements.
