CHASE PACKAGING CORPORATION
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Chase Packaging Corporation (“the Company”), a Texas Corporation, manufactured woven paper mesh for industrial applications, polypropylene mesh fabric bags for agricultural use and distributed agricultural packaging manufactured by other companies. The Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of TGC Industries, Inc. (TGC) through July 31, 1996.

The Company had experienced losses for past years, and the Company’s secured lender decided not to renew the Company’s operating line of credit. As a result, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and all of its creditors to liquidate in an orderly fashion.

On June 25, 1997, the Company announced to employees and creditors that it would begin an orderly liquidation of all its assets beginning at the close of business on June 30, 1997. On July 25, 1997, the Company notified its creditors by mail that it would commence with an orderly liquidation of all its remaining assets outside of a formal bankruptcy or receivership proceeding in a manner intended to maximize asset values. Liquidation of the Company’s assets was completed as of December 31, 1997.

The Board of Directors has been devoting its efforts to establishing a new business and, accordingly, the Company is being treated as a development stage company, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, effective January 1, 1999. Managements’ plans for the Company include securing a merger or acquisition, raising additional capital and other strategies designed to optimize shareholder value. However, no assurance can be given that management will be successful in its efforts. The failure to achieve these plans will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and ability to continue as a going concern.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements of the Company, contain all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring accruals or adjustments only) to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2007 and the results of its operations for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the Company’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and Form 10-KSBA for the year ended December 31, 2006 which is incorporated herein by reference. Specific reference is made to this report for a description of the Company’s securities and the notes to consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE 2 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT UNITS ("UNIT"):

The Company closed a private placement of 13,334 Units on September 7, 2007. Each Unit cost $150 and consisted of 1 share of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock ($100 stated value), convertible into 1,000 shares of common, 500 shares of Common Stock and 500 5-year warrants, each warrant exercisable into 1 share of common stock at $0.15 per share. There was no beneficial conversion feature recorded as the common stock was selling for less than $0.10 per share at the time of the closing which approximates fair value. Gross proceeds from the offering were $2,000,100, expenses of the offering to date were approximately $18,000, and net proceeds were approximately $1,982,000.

NOTE 3 - INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE:

Loss per common share, both basic and diluted, was calculated by dividing net (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each reporting period. The diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share as the Company has incurred a net loss in all periods presented. The outstanding common stock equivalents that could potentially dilute basic earnings (loss) per share in the future that were not included in diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effect on the periods presented was antidilutive were 20,727,000 and 1,270,000 as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 4 - PRIOR STOCK SUBSCRIPTION:

In July 2002, the Company received $8,000 as payment for 800,000 shares of common stock which were never issued. Through September 7, 2007 (the date of the closing of the private placement), the $8,000 accrued $2,200 in compounded interest, which management recorded due to the non issuance of shares for a five year period. The board of directors of the Company approved the issuance of 68 Units in exchange for the $10,200 investment. The Company has reflected the issuance of these Common shares, Series A Preferred shares and warrants as of the balance sheet date.

NOTE 5 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT:

Prior to June 30, 2007, the Company had issued 5% Convertible Notes aggregating $56,500. The Note Holders are directors and an officer of the Company. The Notes were convertible into common stock at $0.01 or par value (currently $0.10 per share) whichever is greater. The Company and the Note Holders had the option to mutually extend the term of the Notes if the par value had not been reduced to $0.01. If the Notes were converted at par greater than $0.01, then the Note Holders would, upon conversion, receive a Unit consisting of one share of common stock and a 10-year warrant exercisable at the then par value of the common stock. The Company had analyzed the conversion feature of the debt as an embedded derivative using the guidance provided in SFAS 133 - “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and Emerging Issues Task Force 00-19 -1 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock” and had concluded that the conversion feature is afforded equity classification since the Company had sufficient authorized and unissued shares available to settle the contract after considering all other commitments that may require the issuance of stock during the maximum period the derivative contract could remain outstanding. Interest would accrue and be paid at maturity and, if unpaid, added to principal at the time of conversion.

The notes plus accrued interest aggregating $5,900 were converted into 416 Private Placement Units on September 7, 2007. The Company has reflected the issuance of these Common shares, Series A Preferred shares and warrants as of the balance sheet date.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATIONS:

Chase Packaging Corporation (the Company) experienced cash losses for past years in spite of numerous infusions of working capital and an aggressive program of inventory and expense reductions. During 1997, the Board of Directors determined that an orderly liquidation was in the best interest of the Company and all of its creditors and retained the firm of Edward Hostmann, Inc. to assist the Company in such liquidation.

As part of the liquidation process, effective July 21, 1997, the Company sold most of its assets in Idaho Falls, Idaho (excluding real estate) to Lockwood Packaging Corporation for $330,000. The Company also sold the Idaho Falls real estate (land and building). During July and August of 1997 Chase sold most of its inventory in Portland, Oregon to other packaging companies. The Company also sold its band label extruder for $125,000 and its remaining inventory and machinery and equipment were sold at an August 14, 1997 auction, for gross proceeds of approximately $340,000. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had completed the liquidation of all of its assets.

Effective January 1, 1999, the Board of Directors has been devoting its efforts to establishing a new business and accordingly, the Company is being treated as a development stage company, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, as of that date. The Company continues to pay for minor administrative expenses and has generated interest income on its remaining cash balance. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in either establishing a new business or in finding a business for acquisition.

As a result of the sale of common shares in a private placement and the exercise of common stock purchase warrants during the last quarter of 2001 as well as additional capital contributions during 2002 through the first six months of 2007 and the closing of a private placement in the third quarter of 2007, the Company’s cash balance as of September 30, 2007 was $1,996,533. The 2007 Private Placement proceeds are to assist management with its plans to secure a suitable merger partner wishing to go public or attempt to acquire private companies to create investment value for the Company. 

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES:

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of September 30, 2007, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of Allen McInnes, Principal Executive Officer, and Ann W. Green, Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), which disclosure controls and procedures are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting management to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company's period SEC filings.

(b) Changes in Internal Control.

Subsequent to the date of such evaluation as described in subparagraph (a) above, there were no significant changes in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any corrective action with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Changes in Securities
   
 
On September 7, 2007, the Company closed a private placement of 13,334 Units and converted Notes and accrued interest thereto to 416 Units, a total of 13,750 Units. In July 2002, the Company received $8,000 as payment for 800,000 shares of common stock which were not issued. Through September 7, 2007, the $8,000 accrued $2,200 in compounded interest which management recorded due to the non issuance of shares for a five year period. The board of directors of the Company approved the issuance of 68 private placement units in exchange for the $10,200 investment. The Company has reflected the issuance of these Common shares, Series A Preferred shares and warrants as of the balance sheet date. For purposes of calculating shares and warrants herein, it has been assumed that 13,818 Units are outstanding. Each Unit cost $150 and consisted of 1 share of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred ($100 stated value), 500 shares of restricted Common Stock and 500 5-year warrants, each warrant exercisable into 1 share of common stock at $0.15 per share.
   
 
Pursuant to the Unit Private Placement, closed September 7, 2007, the Company has agreed to file a
 
Registration Statement with the SEC within nine months after the closing, June 6, 2008, registering the
 
common stock, the 5-year warrants and the Series A 10% convertible Preferred and the common stock
 
underlying the 5-year warrants and the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred.
