NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company has received correspondence from the legal counsel for the Public Building Commission of Chicago (PBC) in August 2012, alleging that the Company previously owned and operated a manufacturing facility in Chicago and that the Company is a liable party for environmental response costs incurred by the PBC in the amount of $822,642.  It is the opinion of management, after reviewing the letter with counsel, that further information is required to determine the validity of the claim, the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome to the Company, and an amount of potential loss to the Company, if any at all.  Management believes significant questions need to be resolved and answered before completing its assessment of the validity of the claim.  In the event that a loss were to be incurred by the Company in connection with this claim, the loss would be material.

The 1% decrease in gross sales of Chase Candy of $3,800 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 over the same period ended December 31, 2012, is primarily due to the net effect of the following:  1) decreased sales of the L276 Cherry Mash Distributor Pack division by approximately $1,000 versus the second quarter a year ago; 2) decreased sales of the L278 Bag of Bite Size Mini Mash division by approximately $17,000 versus the second quarter a year ago due to three customers decreasing orders; 3) increased sales of the L279/L299 Bulk Mini Mash by approximately $11,000 versus the second quarter a year ago; and 4) various other fluctuations netting an increase of approximately $3,000.
 
The 8% decrease in gross sales of Seasonal Candy of $76,060 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 over the same period ended December 31, 2012, is primarily due to the net effect of the following:  1) decreased orders from various customers in the Seasonal Candy category netting approximately $10,000 versus second quarter a year ago due to timing of orders and a sales price decrease of approximately 5%; 2) decreased orders from various customers in the clamshell seasonal product category totaling approximately $86,000 versus second quarter a year ago due to decreased orders and a sales price decrease of approximately 5%; and 3) increased orders in the generic seasonal product category by approximately $20,000 due to increased sales to one customer.
