ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
PART I
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 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 the 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. Management considers these two divisions as one reportable segment 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 the following 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 |
In addition to the regular size bar, a “mini-mash” is distributed in the following case sizes:
(1) | 24 - 12 oz. bags |
(2) | 3 jars - 60 bars per jar |
(3) | 23 # wrapped bars |
(4) | 22 # unwrapped bars |
(5) | 12 - 12 oz. bags |

ITEM 1 BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
Principal Products and Methods of Distribution (Continued)
Seasonal Candy Products of Dye Candy Company produces coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries and purchases other outsourced products. These products are distributed in bulk or packaged. Principal products include:
(1) | Coconut Bon-Bons | (6) | Peanut Brittle |
(2) | Coconut Stacks | (7) | Peanut Clusters |
(3) | Home Style Poe Fudge | (8) | Champion Créme Drops |
(4) | Peco Flake | (9) | Jelly Candies |
(5) | Peanut Squares | (10) | Frosted Pretzels |
The Champion Crème Drops, Frosted Pretzels, and Jelly Candies are not produced by the Company.
All products are shipped to customers by commercial haulers.
Competition and Market Area
The Chase Candy Products division bars are sold primarily to wholesale candy, grocery accounts, vendors, and repackers. “Cherry Mash” bars are marketed in the Midwest region of the United States. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, this division accounted for 60% and 63%, respectively, of the consolidated sales of Dye Candy Company.
The Seasonal Candy Products division is sold primarily on a Midwest regional basis to national syndicate accounts, repackers and grocery accounts. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, this division accounted for 40% and 37%, respectively of the consolidated sales 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 August through December of each year. The earnings 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 fall and winter months of the year when the Company is building its inventories in anticipation of August through December 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 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.
Prompt service and 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.

ITEM 1 BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
Competition and Market Area (Continued)
Chase Candy Company seasonal products are sold in both the grocery and produce departments with bulk, prepackaged clamshell and shippers. Chase Candy Company offers a variety of quality products at a value price. The competitive set of the business does not have a national brand competitor but mostly regional competition and private label. The primary competition includes:
1. | Palmer Candy Company sells products that mostly mirror Chase Candy products but they market their products through the bakery department. Retail pricing on Palmer products is usually higher than Chase products. |
2. | Zachary Confections is another regional competitor that sells many similar items as Chase Candy and are also priced at retail similar to Chase. |
3. | The low price competitor is Private Label and depending on location, they have products that are of the same variety as Chase Candy products. Product quality is usually not at the same level as Chase products. |
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 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers
Raw materials and packaging materials are produced on a national basis with products coming from locations throughout the United States. Raw materials and packaging materials are generally widely available, depending on common market influences. One supplier accounted for more than 12% of the Company’s cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2022 and no suppliers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s costs of sales for the year ended June 30, 2021.
Patents and Trademarks
The largest single revenue producing product, the “Cherry Mash” bar, is protected by a trademark registered with The United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Company considers this trademark significant to operations. This trademark expires in the year 2029.
Employees
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 18 full-time employees. This expands to approximately 30 full-time personnel during the busy production months of August through December.

Customers
For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, one customer accounted for 40% and 41%, respectively, of
sales. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, that same customer accounted for 21% and 24%, respectively, of trade

accounted for 13% and 28%, respectively, of trade receivables. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, another customer and its affiliates accounted for 7% and 6%, respectively, of sales. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, that same customer and its affiliates accounted for 15% and 2%, respectively, of trade receivables. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s sales for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s trade receivables for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
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. The Company has evaluated the requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The FSMA aims to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe by shifting the focus of federal regulators from responding to contamination to preventing it. The FSMA has given the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) new authorities to regulate the way foods are grown, harvested, and processed. As of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and through the filing of this form, management believes the Company is compliant with all FSMA requirements. Another inspection for compliance will be conducted by a third party within 12 months of year-end. Management does not anticipate any future significant expenditures in the next twelve months in this regard.
Need for Government Approval of Principal Products or Services
The Company is required to meet the Food and Drug Administration guidelines for proper labeling of its products and for contents of its products. Management does not anticipate any future significant expenditures in the next twelve months in this regard.
Reports to Security Holders
The Registrant is not required to send the annual audit report, annual 10-K report and quarterly 10-Q reports to security holders since the stock is not actively traded. These reports are available at the Registrant’s registered office or they are available online on the SEC’s EDGAR website.

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 “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” 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, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 fall and winter months in anticipation of August through December sales; the assumption that the Company has stabilized its customer base and will continue its efforts to expand the existing market area and increase sales to customers; and the expectation that the Company will maintain tight control of all expenditures.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Overview
During fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s sales were $3,064,443, as compared to sales of $2,960,357 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The 3.5% increase in price and volume, 15% increase in cost of sales and 3% increase in operating expenses resulted in a change in profitability during the year, as reflected in the loss from operations of $22,264 for fiscal year 2022 compared to the income from operations of $186,160 for fiscal year 2021. Working capital decreased $7,074 to $561,602 for the fiscal year 2022 from $568,676 for the fiscal year 2021 due primarily to an increase in inventory and 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.
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 customers. Sales are comprised of the total sales billed during the period, including shipping and handling charges to the customer, less the estimated returns, customer allowances, and customer discounts.
Inventories
Inventories are carried at the “lower of cost or net realizable value,” with cost being determined on the “first-in, first-out” basis of accounting. The cost of goods in process include an estimate for manufacturing overhead. Finished goods inventory are valued using the lower of cost or market value, determined by the retail inventory method. Under the retail inventory method, the valuation of finished goods inventory at cost and the resulting gross margins are calculated by applying a cost-to-retail ratio to the retail value of inventories.

The 11.3% increase in sales of Seasonal Candy of $123,758 for the year ended June 30, 2022 over the same period ended June 30, 2021, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) increased sales in the Chase clamshell seasonal division by approximately $53,000 versus the same period a year ago, primarily due to increased orders from existing customers, 2) increased sales in the generic seasonal division by approximately $100,000 due to increased orders from existing customers; offset by 3) decreased sales in the bulk seasonal division by approximately $22,000 versus the same period a year ago, primarily due to decreased orders from existing customers and 4) various other product sales decreases of approximately $7,000.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2021, increased by 15%. The cost of sales increased $287,068 to $2,198,765 while increasing to 71.8% of sales for the year ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1,911,697 or 64.6% of sales for the year ended June 30, 2021.
The 15% increase in cost of sales of $287,068 is primarily due to inflationary impacts on raw materials such as chocolate and packaging supplies.
Labor costs, including wages, vacation pay and payroll taxes of $757,292 for the year ended June 30, 2022, increased 12.5% or $84,413 as compared to $672,879 for the year ended June 20, 2021 primarily due to increased production wages due to increased hours, bonuses, and pay rates compared to the same period ended June 30, 2021.
Freight expense, including shipping and handling costs on goods shipped of $134,620 for the year ended June 30, 2022, increased 16.5% or $19,033 as compared to $115,587 for the year ended June 30, 2021 due primarily to inflationary impacts such as costs of fuel.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Fiscal Year 2022 Compared to Fiscal Year 2021 (Continued)
Gross Profit on Sales
The gross profit decreased 17.5% or $182,982 to $865,678 decreasing to 28.3% of related sales for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $1,048,660 or 35.4% of related sales for the year ended June 30, 2021, as a net result of the 15% increase in cost of sales described above, the 3.5% increase in sales and a price increase that was effective in early 2022.
Finished goods inventory as of June 30, 2022 of $360,225 increased $72,980 or 25.4% from the June 30, 2021 finished goods inventory of $287,245. Raw materials inventory as of June 30, 2022 of $93,326 decreased $3,998 or 4.1% from the June 30, 2021 raw materials inventory of $97,324. Packaging materials inventory as of June 30, 2022 of $293,123 increased $68,805 or 30.7% from June 30, 2021 packaging materials inventory of $224,318. Goods in process inventory as of June 30, 2022 of $18,603 increased $7,349 or 65.3% from the June 30, 2021 goods in process inventory of $11,254. Inventory levels vary based primarily on sales and purchases.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses for the year ended June 30, 2022 increased $1,217 to $321,992, which is 10.5% of sales, compared to $320,775 or 10.8% of sales for the year June 30, 2021. This increase is primarily due to higher commissions as a result of the sales force being able to return to client sites and trade shows. Commission expense increased $12,180 to $131,468 for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $119,288 for the year ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to an increase in sales of items where the Company pays commissions as well as the operations of the sales team returning to pre-pandemic nature of operations. The above increase was offset by a decrease in shipping costs associated with selling expenses which decreased $12,297 to $35,128 for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $47,425 for the year ended June 30, 2021.
General and Administrative Expenses

The increase is primarily due to higher professional fees and insurance expense. Professional fees increased $10,029 to $210,770 for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $200,741 for the year ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to increased audit and consulting fees. Insurance expense increased $17,500 to $163,661 for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $146,161 for the year ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to the increase in insurance premiums.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income reflects income of $895 for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to income of $177,573 for the year ended June 30, 2021. This decrease of $176,678 in other income was primarily due to the gain on extinguishment of debt related to the Paycheck Protection Program loan received in 2021.

Overall cash and cash equivalents increased $6,396 to $13,511 at June 30, 2022 from $7,115 at June 30, 2021.
At June 30, 2022, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $5,726,735, compared to an accumulated deficit of $5,705,366 as of June 30, 2021. Working capital as of June 30, 2022 decreased $7,074 to $561,602 from $568,676 as of June 30, 2021.
The Company’s lease on its office and plant facility is effective through March 31, 2025, with an option to extend for an additional term of five years, and currently requires payments of $6,500 per month. At the end of each five-year period, the base rent may be increased by an amount not greater than 30%, at the sole discretion of lessor. The facility is leased from an entity that is owned by the son of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
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. Due to volatility in the regions where these raw materials are grown, management anticipates the prices of these raw materials to continue to fluctuate primarily based on supply and demand. Gross margins have decreased primarily due to the fluctuations in these raw material prices. Management intends to make sales price adjustments in the future to correspond with changes in raw material prices. Management believes that the projected cash flow from operations combined with the availability on the line of credit will be sufficient to meet its funding requirements for the foreseeable future.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Chase General Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Chase General Corporation and its subsidiary (the Company) as of June 30, 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements, and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021
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.
iPrinciples 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.
iSegment Reporting of the Business
The subsidiary, Dye Candy Company, operates i 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. Management considers these two divisions as i one reportable segment in these consolidated financial statements.
/ iUse of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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.
iCash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
iShipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs for freight expense on goods shipped are included in cost of sales. Freight expense on goods shipped for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $ i 134,620 and $ i 115,587, respectively.
/ iTrade Receivables
Trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations which generally require payment within thirty days from the invoice date. Trade receivables are stated at the invoice amount as no interest is charged to the customer for any past due amounts. Payments of trade receivables are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, to the earliest unpaid invoices.

ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021
NOTE 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Trade Receivables (Continued)
The carrying amount of trade receivables 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 collectibility of specific customer accounts and the aging of the trade receivables. 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 to the Company could be adversely affected. All accounts or portions thereof deemed to be uncollectible, or that require an excessive collection cost, are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
iInventories
Raw material and packaging material inventories are carried at the “lower of cost or net realizable value,” with cost being determined on the “first-in, first-out” basis of accounting. The cost of goods in process include an estimate for manufacturing overhead. Finished goods inventory are valued using the lower of cost or market value, determined by the retail inventory method. Under the retail inventory method, the valuation of finished goods inventory at cost and the resulting gross margins are calculated by applying a cost-to-retail ratio to the retail value of inventories.
iProperty and Equipment
The Company’s property and equipment is recorded at cost and is being depreciated on straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
i
| | |
Buildings |
| i 39 years |
Machinery and equipment | | i 5 – i 7 years |
Trucks and autos | | i 5 years |
Office equipment | | i 5 – i 7 years |
Leasehold improvements | | i Lesser of estimated useful life or the lease term |
iImpairment 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.
iPaycheck Protection Program Note
The Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program Promissory Note further discussed in Note 3 is being accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 470, Debt. Under ASC 470, the initial recognition of the debt is a financial liability that accrues interest. Under ASC 470, derecognition of the liability will occur when the Company has been “legally released” or pays off the loan at which time forgiveness will be recorded as a gain on extinguishment.

iIncome 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 income 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 income tax assets are only recognized if it is more likely than not that a tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. Deferred income 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 income tax assets will not be realized. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of relevant information. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will be taxable in future years’ tax returns. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the dates of enactment. Based on the facts, the Company has determined it necessary to reduce their deferred income tax asset with a valuation allowance due to it being more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize all of the deferred income tax assets.
The Company’s policy is to evaluate uncertain tax positions under the guidance as prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements. The Company had no accruals for interest or penalties as of June 30, 2022 and 2021.
iEarnings Per Common 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, diluted earnings per share will be calculated in the same manner as basic earnings per share.

iRevenue Recognition
The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived by fulfilling customer orders for the purchase of our products, including 1) a candy bar marketed under the trade name “Cherry Mash” and 2) coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time that control of the ordered product(s) is transferred to the customer, which is typically upon shipment to the customer. Shipping and handling costs incurred to ship product to the customer are recorded within cost of sales. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as trade receivables on the balance sheet and require payment on a short-term basis. Generally, individual orders from customers are accounted for as a single performance obligation.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for fulfilling product orders. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The amount of consideration the Company expects to receive and revenue the Company recognizes includes estimates of variable consideration, including costs for trade promotional programs, customer incentives, and allowances and discounts associated with aged or potentially unsaleable products. These estimates are based upon our analysis of the programs offered, historical trends, and expectations regarding customer and consumer participation, sales and payment trends and our experience with payment patterns associated with similar programs offered in the past. The Company reviews and updates these estimates regularly and the impact of any adjustments are recognized in the period the adjustments are identified. The adjustments recognized for the year ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 resulting from updated estimates of revenue for prior year product sales were not significant. The Company has elected a i practical expedient to recognize incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts, which primarily represent sales commissions where the amortization period would be less than one year, as a selling expense when incurred in the financial statements.
The majority of the Company’s products are confectionery and confectionery-based and, therefore, exhibit similar economic characteristics, such that they are based on similar ingredients and are marketed and sold through the same channels to the same customers. The 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. Both divisions share a common labor force and utilize the same basic equipment and raw materials. Management considers these two divisions as one reportable segment. Advertising is expensed when incurred and considered as a component of revenue. Advertising expense was $ i 7,115 and $ i 18,011 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The various divisions of revenue are as follows:

iNOTE 2 FORGIVABLE LOAN AND DEFERRED INCOME
During 2004, the Company received a $ i 25,000 economic development incentive from Buchanan County, which is a five-year forgivable loan at a rate of $ i 5,000 per year. The Nodaway Valley Bank established an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit in the amount of $ i 25,000 as collateral for this loan, with a maturity date of January 3, 2010. The Company met the criteria of occupying a i 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 i 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. Deferred revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term of i 20 years. During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, deferred revenue of $ i i 1,299 / was amortized into miscellaneous income.

The Company leases its office and manufacturing facility, located in St. Joseph, Missouri under an operating lease from an entity that is owned by the son of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The lease term is from February 1, 2005 through March 31, 2025 with an option to extend for an additional term of five years. The Company does not believe that exercise of the renewal option is reasonably assured, and has not included the additional five years in the lease term. The lease currently requires payments of $ i 6,500 per month.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities were recognized upon adoption of the lease standard based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term. The Company’s operating lease has a remaining term of i 2.75 years and the present value of the lease payments is calculated using the lessor’s implicit rate of i 6.43%. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company’s lease agreement does not contain any residual value guarantees. Additionally, any other short-term leases are immaterial. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and nonlease components and also elected the short-term practical expedient for all leases that qualify. As a result, the Company will not recognize right-of-use assets or liabilities for short-term leases that qualify for the short-term practical expedient, but instead will recognize the lease payments as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease expenses and cash paid for operating lease liabilities were $ i 78,000 for the year ended June 30, 2022, of which, $ i 71,565 is included in cost of sales and $ i 6,435 is included in general and administrative expenses.
Minimum annual payments required under existing operating lease liabilities that have initial or remaining noncancelable terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2022 are as follows:
i

Twelve Months Ending June 30, |
| Amount | |

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had raw materials purchase commitments with i six vendors totaling approximately $ i 120,000.

iNOTE 10 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, i i three / customers accounted for i 50% and i 55%, respectively , of the sales. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, these same i i three / customers accounted for i 49% and i 54%, respectively, of trade receivables.

After considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company does not anticipate significant changes to the concentration of credit risk in the next 12 months.

They have adjusted the number of people allowed at their facilities, enforced social distancing, maintained proper sanitation protocol and have asked that any high risk or employees feeling ill to not come in. The office and sales staff continues to work, while adhering to social distancing guidelines, implementing flexible hours, reducing person-to-person interaction and increasing safety measures.

ITEM 9 CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable
ITEM 9ACONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s principal executive officer, who is also the chief financial and accounting officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as a result of a weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting identified below.
Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in periodic filings under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Management, including those officers, and to members of the board of directors, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rue 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) of the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management, under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive, who is also the chief financial and accounting officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2022 under the criteria set forth in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework.

ITEM 9ACONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Continued)
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has determined that material weaknesses exist due for the following reasons:
● | The Company has an ineffective control environment due to the lack of the necessary corporate accounting resources with SEC financial reporting experience to ensure consistent, complete and accurate financial reporting, as well as disclosure controls and procedures. The Company has outsourced the financial reporting function to a qualified accounting firm; however, the Company does not have the internal resources to maintain appropriate disclosure controls and procedures. |
● | The Company has limited resources to ensure that necessary internal controls are implemented and followed throughout the Company. The limited resources result in a lack of adequate segregation of duties relating to the authorization, recognition, capture, and review of transactions, facts, circumstances and events that could have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting process. |
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that in management’s estimates are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting subsequent to the date of the evaluation.
