Item 1 BUSINESS
Chase General Corporation was incorporated November 6, 1944 for the purpose of manufacturing confectionery products. In 1970 Chase General Corporation acquired a 100% interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dye Candy Company. (Chase General Corporation and Dye Candy Company are sometimes referred herein as “the Company”). This subsidiary is the main operating company for the reporting entity.
PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND METHODS OF DISTRIBUTION
The subsidiary, Dye Candy 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. The products of both divisions are sold to the same type of customers in the same geographical areas. In addition, both divisions 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 and, accordingly, is not available for inclusion in this filing.
The principal products produced are as follows:
Chase Candy Products of Dye Candy Company produces a candy bar under the trade name of “Cherry Mash”. The bar is distributed in six case sizes:
(1) 60 count pack
(2) 12 boxes of 24 bars per box
(3) 200 count shipper box
(4) 100 count shipper box
(5) 100 # 2 box Counter Display
(6) 4 box - 36 count Counter Display
In addition to the regular size bar, a “mini-mash” is distributed in seven case sizes:
(1) 24 - 12 oz. bags
(2) 6 jars - 60 bars per jar
(3) 23 # wrapped bars
(4) 22 # unwrapped bars
(5) 12 - 12 oz. bags
(6) 6 - 4 # jars
(7) 24 - 12 oz. clamshell containers
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
Seasonal Candy Products of Dye Candy Company produces coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries. These products are distributed in bulk or packaged. Principal products include:
The Creme Drops and Jelly Candies are not produced by the Company, but repackaged for wholesale distribution.
All products are shipped to customers by commercial haulers.
COMPETITION AND MARKET AREA
The Chase Candy Division bars are sold primarily to wholesale candy and tobacco jobbing houses, grocery accounts, vendors and repackers. “Cherry Mash” bars are marketed in the Midwest region of the United States. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, this division accounted for 58% and 59%, respectively, of the consolidated revenue of Dye Candy Company.
The Seasonal Candy Division is sold primarily on a Midwest regional basis to national syndicate accounts, repackers, and grocery accounts. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the division accounted for 42% and 41%, respectively, of the consolidated revenue of Dye Candy Company.
The Company has no government contracts, foreign operations or export sales. In addition, all domestic sales are primarily in the Midwest region of the United States.
The Company is a seasonal business whereby the largest volume of sales occur in the spring and fall of each year. The net income per quarter of the Company varies in direct proportion to the seasonal sales volume.
Due to the seasonal nature of the business, there is a heavier demand on working capital in the winter and summer months of the year when the Company is building its inventories in anticipation of fall and spring sales. The fluctuation of demand on working capital due to the seasonal nature of the business is common to the confectionery industry. If necessary, the Company has the ability to borrow short-term funds in early fall to finance operations prior to receiving cash collections from fall sales. The Company occasionally offers extended payment terms of up to sixty days. Since this practice is infrequent, the effect on working capital is minimal.
(Continued)
COMPETITION AND MARKET AREA (CONTINUED)
Prompt, efficient service are traits demanded in the confectionery industry, which results in a continual low volume of back-orders. Therefore, at no time during the year does the Company have a significant amount of back-orders.
The confectionery market for the type of product produced by the divisions of Dye Candy Company is very competitive and quality minded. The confectionery (candy) industry in which the divisions operate is highly competitive with many small companies and, within certain specialized areas, a few competitors dominate. In the United States, the dominant competitors in the coconut candy industry are Crown Candy Company, Vermico Candy Company, and the Seasonal Candy Division of Dye Candy Company with approximately 70% of the market share among them. In the United States Old Dominion has approximately 80% of the market share of the peanut candy business in which the Seasonal Candy Division operates. Dye Candy Company sells approximately 95% of its products in the Midwest region with seasonal orders being shipped to the Southern and Eastern regions of the United States. Except for the coconut candy industry, Dye Candy Company is not a dominant competitor in any of the candy industries in which it competes. Dye Candy Company’s market share in the coconut industry does not vary significantly from year to year.
Principal methods of competition the Company uses include quality of product, price, reduced transportation costs due to central location, and service. The Company’s competitive position is positively influenced by labor costs being lower than industry average. Chase General Corporation is firmly established in the confectionery market and through its operating divisions has many years of experience associated with its name.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company has not developed any new products during fiscal years ending June 30, 2010 and 2009.
RAW MATERIALS AND PRINCIPAL SUPPLIERS
Raw materials and packaging materials are produced on a national basis with products coming from most of the states of the United States. Raw materials and packaging materials are generally widely available, depending of course, on common market influences.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
The largest single revenue producing product, the “Cherry Mash” bar, is protected by a trademark registered with the United States Government Patents Office. The Company considers this trademark very important to the Company. This trademark expires in the year 2013. The Company and its legal representatives do not expect any impediment to renewing this trademark prior to its expiration.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had 19 full time employees and one through a temporary agency. There were 13 in manufacturing, 2 in maintenance, 1 1/2 in sales and marketing and 3 1/2 in finance and administration. This expands to approximately 31 full time personnel during the two busy production seasons of spring and fall.
CUSTOMERS
For the years ending June 30, 2010 and 2009, Associated Wholesale Grocers accounted for 22% and 27% of gross sales, and 8% and 18%, respectively, of accounts receivable. For the years ending June 30, 2010 and 2009, Wal-Mart and its affiliates accounted for 17% each year of gross sales, and 44% and 31%, respectively, of accounts receivable. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues in fiscal years 2010 and 2009.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND THE EFFECT ON PROBABLE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS ON THE BUSINESS
To the best of management’s knowledge, the Company is presently in compliance with all environmental laws and regulations and does not anticipate any future expenditures in this regard.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains statements that plan for or anticipate the future. Forward-looking statements may include statements about the future of our products and the industry, statements about our future business plans and strategies, and other statements that are not historical in nature. In this report, forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” and the like. Readers should carefully review these cautionary statements as they identify certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and from historical trends. These forward-looking statements are based on the information available to, and the expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by the Company at the time the statements are made. These expectations, assumptions and uncertainties include: the Company’s expectation of heavier demand on working capital in the summer and winter months in anticipation of fall and spring sales; our belief that the Company has stabilized its customer base; will continue our efforts to expand the existing market area and increase sales to customers; and maintain tight control of all expenditures.
OVERVIEW
During fiscal year ended 2010, the Company’s net sales were $2,940,935 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, as compared to net sales of $3,101,004 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. This 5.1% decrease in volume resulted in decreased profitability during the year, as reflected in net income before income taxes of $177,817 for fiscal year 2010 compared to $230,708 for fiscal year 2009. Working capital increased $101,818 to $543,071 for the current year from $441,253 for the fiscal year 2009 due to increases in cash and inventory, and a decrease in accounts payable.
The following information should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
GENERAL
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
GENERAL (CONTINUED)
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
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, and customer discounts.
RECEIVABLES
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations which generally require payment within thirty days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the invoice amount as no interest is charged to the customer for any past due amounts. Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, to the earliest unpaid invoices.
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 collectability 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. All accounts or portions thereof deemed to be uncollectible, or to require an excessive collection cost, are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are carried at the “lower of cost or market value,” with cost being determined on the “first-in, first-out” basis of accounting. Finished goods and goods in process include a provision for manufacturing overhead.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts of such assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. 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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth for the years indicated, the percentage of net sales of certain items in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:
FISCAL YEAR 2010 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2009
NET SALES
During the year ended June 30, 2010, sales, net of returns and allowances, decreased 5.2% as compared to the year ended June 30, 2009. Gross sales for Chase Candy products decreased $128,586 or 6.94% to $1,724,959 for the year ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1,853,545 for 2009. Gross sales for seasonal candy decreased $42,934 or 3.31% for the year ended June 30, 2010 to $1,253,258 compared to $1,296,192 for 2009.
The 5.4% decrease in net sales of $160,069 for the year ended June 30, 2010, over the same period ended June 30, 2009, was due to several factors. Increased competition from national brands and sales reductions of two key customers, that contributed to an overall decrease. In addition, there was a timing issue where June 2009 sales were not repeated until July 2010. The seasonal candy had improved merchandising displays at customer retail locations but also had the loss of approximately $90,000 in sales to a major customer, while selling approximately $44,000 sales to a new customer, which resulted in sales declines overall.
The Company’s returns and allowances decreased $16,951 or 25.4% for the year ended June 30, 2010, compared to the year ended June 30, 2009.
COST OF SALES
Cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2009, decreased by 3.72%. The cost of sales decreased $81,430 to $2,108,743 while increasing to 71.70% of related revenues for the year ended June 30, 2010, compared to $2,190,173 or 70.63% of related revenues for the year ended June 30, 2009.
The dollar decrease in cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2010 was the result of raw material costs of $967,413 decreasing 13.75% or $154,161 for year ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1,121,574 for year ending 2009. This decrease is a direct result of a reduction in production and limited raw material price increases.
Labor costs including wages, vacation pay and payroll taxes of $433,663 for the year ended June 30, 2010 increased 6.1% or $24,974 as compared to $408,689 for the period ending 2009. Included in the increase was a $10,000 bonus award to a long-time retiring employee.
In addition, new transportation vendors were used which resulted in a decrease of $28,855 or 15.71% in freight costs from $154,824 for the year ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $183,679 for the year ended June 30, 2009.
GROSS PROFIT
The gross margin decreased 8.63% or $78,639 to $832,192 decreasing to 28.3% of related revenues for the year ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $910,831 or 29.37% of related revenues for the year ended June 30, 2009, as a result of the overall net decrease in net sales over cost of sales.
Finished goods inventory as of June 30, 2010 of $104,022 decreased $15,094 or 12.67% of the June 30, 2009 finished goods inventory of $119,116. Raw material inventory of $109,027 and packaging materials inventory of $186,420 is 21.72% higher than the June 30, 2009 inventories of $69,960 and $172,764, respectively, as a result of continuing to purchase inventory at competitive prices for the forthcoming busy season that starts September 1, 2010.
SELLING EXPENSES
Selling expenses for the year ended June 30, 2010 decreased $41,329 to $327,413, which is 11.13% of sales, compared to $368,742 or 11.89% of sales for the year June 30, 2009. This decrease is primarily due to lower commissions being paid as a result of decreased sales along with decreased sample costs and premium promotions for this period. Commissions, sample costs, and premium promotions decreased 25.23% to $154,828 for year ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $207,062 for year ending June 30, 2009.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2010 increased $4,183 to $323,221, which is 10.99% of sales, compared to $319,038 or 10.29% of sales for the year ended June 30, 2009. The increased costs are primarily because of an increase in employee health and directors insurance.
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
Income from operations for the year ended June 30, 2010 is 6.18% of net sales, as compared to 7.19% of net sales for the year ended June 30, 2009 for the reasons described above.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other income and (expense) reflects expense of $(3,742) for the year ended June 30, 2010, as compared to income of $7,657 for the year ended June 30, 2009. This decrease of $11,399 was primarily due to a gain from sale of automobiles of $12,014 reported for the year ended June 30, 2009 and didn’t repeat for fiscal year 2010.
INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES
Income before income taxes was $177,816 for the year ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $230,708 for the year ended June 30, 2009. The reasons for the decrease of $52,892 have been discussed above.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded a tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2010 of $70,867, as compared to a tax expense of $38,459 for the year ended June 30, 2009. The tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2010 is a result of operations discussed above. The Company had incurred losses for 2008 and 2007, which were not available to carryback to obtain previously paid income taxes. This loss carryforward was utilized against taxable income for the year ended June 30, 2009.
NET INCOME
Net income for the year ended June 30, 2010 was $106,949, compared to net income for year ended June 30, 2009 of $192,249. This decrease of $85,300 is the result of those items discussed above.
PREFERRED DIVIDENDS
Preferred dividends were $128,072 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, which reflect additional preferred stock dividends in arrears on the Company’s Series A and Series B $5 par value preferred stock and its Series A & B $20 par value preferred stock.
NET INCOME (LOSS) APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS
Net (loss) applicable to common stockholders was $(21,123) for the year ended June 30, 2010, which is a decrease of $85,300 as compared to net income of $64,177 for the year ended June 30, 2009 for the reasons discussed above.
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
The table below presents the summary of cash flow for the fiscal year indicated.
Operating Activities
The positive cash flow of $203,958 generated from operations is a result of the Company continuing to monitor raw material pricing, and when a price increase or decrease is anticipated, adjustments to inventory levels are made accordingly. Raw materials inventory increased $39,067 from June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2010. The current year increase can be attributed to the efforts of the Company watching markets for these commodities, and making purchases at more favorable prices prior to the start of busy season.
Packaging materials are purchased in large volumes and carried for several years due to the high cost from suppliers to cut dies and print materials. Therefore, when supplier pricing remains consistent over the years and is not predicted to increase, the Company utilizes its present inventory supply without making additional purchases necessary to lock in pricing. Packaging materials inventory increased $13,656 at June 30, 2010 from June 30, 2009.
Finished goods inventory decrease $15,094 from June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2010. This decrease was due to lower customer orders at the end of fiscal year June 30, 2010 than at the end of fiscal year June 30, 2009. Goods in process remained comparable to prior years.
Investing Activities
The $260,770 of cash used in investing activities was the result of net capital expenditures and disposal of equipment for the current fiscal year. The Company continues to write off equipment that is no longer useful to the operations of the Company. Purchases of $260,771 of machinery and equipment and $137,473 were made during the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Depending on results of operations and cash flows, the Company is hoping to replace two cookers at an anticipated cost of $40,000 in the next several years, with no set target date. Equipment purchased for the current year includes the acquisition of a new mini mash wrapper machine for $249,161.
Financing Activities
The Company borrowed $210,000 and $145,000, respectively, on its line-of-credit during the fall of 2009 and 2008 busy seasons. Payments of $210,000 and $195,000, respectively, were paid for years ending June 30, 2010 and 2009. The Company renewed its $250,000 line-of-credit until January 3, 2011.
The Company financed $163,909, a portion of the mini mash wrapper machine acquired during fiscal year 2010.
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL (CONTINUED)
Vehicle loan payments were $29,360 and $20,829 for years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Overall cash and cash equivalents increased $77,737 to $106,508 at June 30, 2010 from $28,771 at June 30, 2009.
To date, there are no material commitments by the Company for capital expenditures. At June 30, 2010, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $5,640,047, compared to accumulated deficit of $5,780,006 as of June 30, 2009. Working capital as of June 30, 2010 increased 23.07% to $543,071 from $441,253 as of June 30, 2009.
The Company’s lease on its office and plant facility is effective through March 31, 2025 with an option to extend for an additional time of five years, and currently requires payments of $6,500 per month. At the end of the first five years, the base rent shall be increased an amount not greater than 30%, at the sole discretion of lessor and for each additional term of five years. The facility is leased from an entity owned 100% by the Vice-President and Director and his spouse.
In order to maintain funds to finance operations and meet debt obligations, it is the intention of management to continue its efforts to expand the present market area and increase sales to its customers. Management also intends to continue tight control on all expenditures.
There has been no material impact from inflation and changing prices on net sales and revenues, or on income from continuing operations for the last two fiscal years.
IMPACT OF 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. 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.
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. Because this update affects the disclosure and not the accounting treatment for subsequent events, the adoption of this provision did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
During the third quarter, Chase adopted FASB ASU No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). This ASU requires new disclosures for transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, and Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The update also clarifies the level disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The requirement related to Level 3 fair value measurements is effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after January 29, 2011. The adoption of the effective portions of this new standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the Company does not expect a material impact to its consolidated financial statements related to the Level 3 fair value disclosures.
In 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 entity is a VIE and whether an interest in a VIE makes the holder the primary beneficiary of the 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 involvement. 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 the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
Years Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements.
CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Chase General Corporation (the Company) was incorporated on November 6, 1944 in the State of Missouri for the purpose of manufacturing confectionery products. The Company grants credit terms to substantially all customers, consisting of repackers, grocery accounts, and national syndicate accounts, who are primarily located in the Midwest region of the United States.
Significant accounting policies are as follows:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dye Candy Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
SEGMENT REPORTING OF THE BUSINESS
The subsidiary, Dye Candy 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. The products of both divisions are sold to the same type of customers in the same geographical areas. In addition, both divisions 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 and, accordingly, has not been disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be 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.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
Shipping and handling costs for freight expense on goods shipped is included in cost of sales. Freight expense on goods shipped for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $135,109 and $156,489, respectively.
RECEIVABLES
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations which generally require payment within thirty days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the invoice amount as no interest is charged to the customer for any past due amounts. Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, to the earliest unpaid invoices.
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 collectability 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. All accounts or portions thereof deemed to be uncollectible, or to require an excessive collection cost, are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are carried at the “lower of cost or market value” with cost being determined on the “first-in, first-out” basis of accounting. Finished goods and goods in process include a provision for manufacturing overhead.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. The Company’s property and equipment are being depreciated on straight-line and accelerated methods over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings
39 years
Machinery and equipment
5 - 7 years
Trucks and autos
5 years
Office Equipment
5 - 7 years
Leasehold improvements

useful life or the

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting. Temporary differences are differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities reported for financial statement purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences that will be deductible in future years’ tax returns and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will be taxable in future years’ tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the dates of enactment.
The Company’s policy is to evaluate uncertain tax positions under the guidance as prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic Earnings Per Common Share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted Earnings Per Common Share shall be computed by including contingently issuable shares with the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. When inclusion of the contingently issuable shares would have an antidilutive effect upon earnings per share, no diluted earnings per share shall be presented.
The following contingently issuable shares were not included in diluted earnings per common share as they would have an antidilutive effect upon earnings per share:

ADVERTISING EXPENSE
Advertising is expensed when incurred. Advertising expense was $640 and $750 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
IMPACT OF 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. 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.
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. Because this update affects the disclosure and not the accounting treatment for subsequent events, the adoption of this provision did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
During the third quarter, Chase adopted FASB ASU No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). This ASU requires new disclosures for transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, and Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The update also clarifies the level disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The requirement related to Level 3 fair value measurements is effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after January 29, 2011. The adoption of the effective portions of this new standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the Company does not expect a material impact to its consolidated financial statements related to the Level 3 fair value disclosures.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
In 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 entity is a VIE and whether an interest in a VIE makes the holder the primary beneficiary of the 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 involvement. 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 the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - FORGIVABLE LOAN AND DEFERRED INCOME
During 2004, the Company received a $25,000 economic development incentive from Buchanan County, which is a five year forgivable loan at a rate of $5,000 per year. The Nodaway Valley Bank established an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit in the amount of $25,000 as collateral for this loan, with a maturity date of January 3, 2010. The Company met the criteria of occupying a 20,000 square foot building and creating a minimum of two new full-time equivalent jobs during the first year of operation in the new facility. In addition, the Company maintained 19 existing jobs during the five year term. Notice was received February 6, 2009 from the Buchanan County Commission, that the Company had fulfilled its minimum loan requirements so that the loan was forgiven in full and has no further obligations. Since the Company was no longer legally required to return the monies, the liability was reclassified as deferred revenue and amortized into income over the life of the lease term of the new facility. At June 30, 2009, a total of $25,000 was reclassified to deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term of 20 years. During the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, deferred revenue of $1,299 was amortized into income for each period.
