NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Chase General Corporation (“Chase” or “we”, “us”, or “our”) at June 30, 2006 has been taken from audited consolidated financial statements at that date and condensed. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and for the three months ended September 30, 2005 are unaudited and reflect all normal and recurring accruals and adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented in this quarterly report. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. Where appropriate, items within the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified from the previous periods’ presentation.

NOTE 3 - 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 has established an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit in the amount of $25,000 as collateral for this loan, with a maturity date of December 31, 2009. The Company has met the criteria of occupying a 20,000 square foot building and the criteria of 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 the year thereafter and will be required to do so until the five year term has expired. Once the Company is no longer legally entitled to return the monies, the liability will be reclassified as deferred revenue and amortized into income over the life on the lease term of the new facility. As of September 30, 2006, $5,000 was reclassified to deferred revenue and $974 has been amortized into income.

NOTE 4 - NOTE PAYABLE - BANK

Effective June 3, 2006 the Company has a $250,000 line-of-credit agreement with an original maturity date of December 31, 2006. The line-of-credit is collateralized by certain equipment and bears interest at an annual rate of 8%. At September 30, 2006 the outstanding balance on the line-of-credit was $175,000.

NOTE 5 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On December 16, 2005, a lawsuit was filed by 3600 S. Leonard Road, LLC., (the Plaintiff) against the Company in the Circuit Court of Buchanan County, Missouri. The Plaintiff alleges that the Company failed to honor certain sections of a lease agreement, for its former facility, entered into between the Plaintiff, as owner and landlord of the premises subject to the lease agreement, and the Company, as tenant to the premises. The Plaintiff is seeking damages in an amount in excess of $200,000. The Company has filed a response with the Circuit Court denying all material allegations made by the Plaintiff. A status review hearing was held March 15, 2006 in the Circuit court where upon the Judges ruled for the parties to meet again to a scheduling order. The Company is expecting to go to trial in December 2006. The Company believes the claim is without merit and intends to contest it vigorously, however, the outcome of this lawsuit cannot be predicted at this time.

ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation section and other parts of this Report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from the results and timing discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed or referred to in this report and in Item 6 of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006.

The following discussion is intended to provide a better understanding of the significant changes in trends relating to Chase’s financial condition and results of operations. Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

OVERVIEW

Chase General 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 Company and Poe Candy Company, 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.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

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

                  OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

NET SALES

Net sales increased $36,550 or 9% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $459,499 as compared to $422,949 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Gross sales for Chase Candy Company decreased $39,027 to $366,637 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $405,664 for 2005. Gross sales for Poe Candy Company increased $75,067 to $101,837 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $26,770 for 2005.

The overall increase in net sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 is primarily due to the fact the Government would not allow new crop peanuts to be shipped to wholesalers or manufacturers, such as Chase, until the current year’s crop of peanuts had been used. Therefore, production for these sales was not held up for arrival of new crop peanuts. In addition, a customer of Poe Candy ordered earlier this year so that the sale occurred in the first quarter of the current year which represented the majority of the increase in Poe sales. The weather was also cooperative this year so that sales could be shipped when ready and not held due to high temperatures. Even though the Poe sales were accelerated into the first quarter, the second quarter 2006 sales are not expected to be as high as they were in the prior year quarter ended December 31, 2005. Therefore, the Company is not expecting overall sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 to grow as reflected in this first quarter. The Chase sales decrease of $39,027 was due to a customer ordering the 12 count packaging product rather than 24 count packaging product.

COST OF SALES

The cost of sales decreased $36,591 to $333,409 decreasing to 73% of related revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $370,000 or 87% of related revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

This dollar decrease in cost of sales included 18% or $36,444 in direct materials and labor costs for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $165,906 as compared to $202,350 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The Company was able to build finished goods inventory for three months ended September 30, 2006 to $323,094 or 451% increase above June 30, 2006 finished goods inventory of $71,631. This is the height of the Company’s busy season which also explains having raw materials inventory of $71,831 and packaging materials inventory of $105,537 or 150% higher than the June 30, 2006 inventories of $37,202 raw materials and $80,675 packaging.

SELLING EXPENSES

Selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 decreased $672 to $54,413, and decreased to 12% of sales, compared to $55,085 or 13% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in selling expenses is due to lower travel and vehicle expenses for the period. Travel and vehicle expense decreased 31% to $9,873 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $14,377 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased $28,018 to $117,350, and increased to 25% of sales, compared to $89,332 or 22% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increased costs are due to increased professional fees of $27,450 or 165% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $69,888 as compared to $42,438 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
