CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

 

PART I

 

ITEM 1BUSINESS

 

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 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

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

 

ITEM 1BUSINESS (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 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, 2021 and 2020, this division accounted for 63% and 57%, 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, 2021 and 2020, this division accounted for 37% and 43%, 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.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

 

ITEM 1BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

 

Competition and Market Area (Continued)

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.

 

The confectionery (candy) market for the type of product produced by the divisions of Dye Candy Company is very competitive and quality minded. The confectionery 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 Products 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 Products 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.

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).

As of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 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.

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; our belief that the Company has stabilized its customer base; will continue its efforts to expand the existing market area and increase sales to customers; and maintain tight control of all expenditures.

 

Overview 

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s sales were $2,960,357, as compared to sales of $2,576,311 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The 14.9% increase in volume, 1.5% decrease in cost of sales and 10.5% increase in operating expenses resulted in a change in profitability during the year, as reflected in the income from operations of $186,160 for fiscal year 2021 compared to the loss from operations of $144,491 for fiscal year 2020. Working capital increased $279,057 to $568,676 for the fiscal year 2021 from $289,619 for the fiscal year 2020 due primarily to an increase in inventory and accounts receivable.

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.

 

There have been no other events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2021, through the date of filing this form, that would require disclosure in the Form 10-K or would be required to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as of or for the year ended June 30, 2021.

 

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.

See Note 1, RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS, to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of new accounting standards.

Fiscal Year 2021 Compared to Fiscal Year 2020

 

Sales 

During the year ended June 30, 2021, sales, net of returns and allowances, increased $384,046 or 14.9% as compared to the year ended June 30, 2020. Sales for Chase Candy products increased $388,613 or 26.3% to $1,868,899 for the year ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1,480,286 for the year ended June 30, 2020. Sales for Seasonal Candy products decreased $4,567 or .4% to $1,091,458 for the year ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $1,096,025 for the year ended June 30, 2020.

 

Sales for Chase Candy consisted of the following divisions: L276 Cherry Mash Distributor Pack division, Cherry Mash Merchandisers division, L260 Changemaker Jar division, L279/L299 Bulk Mini Mash division, and L278/L212 Mini Mash division. The 14.9% increase in sales of Chase Candy of $388,613 for the year ended June 30, 2021 over the same period ended June 30, 2020, is primarily due to the following: 1) increased sales of Cherry Mash Merchandisers division by approximately $49,000 versus the same period a year ago, primarily due to an increase in orders from existing customers, 2) increased sales of the L278/L212 Mini Mash division by approximately $71,000 versus the same period a year ago, primarily due to an increase in orders from existing customers, 3) increased sales of the L276 Cherry Mash Distributor Pack division by approximately $257,000 versus the same period a year ago, primarily due to an increase in orders from existing customers, 4) increased sales of the Cherry Mash internet sales via the Company’s website by approximately $26,000 versus the same period a year ago, primarily due to an increase in orders from existing customers; offset by 5) decreased sales of the L279/L299 Bulk Mini Mash division by approximately $12,000 versus the same period a year ago, primarily due to a decrease in orders from existing customers and 6) an increase in promotions expenses allocated to the Chase Candy division of approximately $6,000 primarily due to selling more items with higher promotion fees associated with them.

 

Sales for Seasonal Candy consisted of the following divisions: bulk seasonal division, clamshell seasonal division, and the generic seasonal division. The .4% decrease in sales of Seasonal Candy of $4,567 for the year ended June 30, 2021 over the same period ended June 30, 2020, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) decreased sales in the Chase clamshell seasonal division by approximately $17,000 versus the same period a year ago, primarily due to decreased orders from existing customers 2) decreased sales in the bulk seasonal division by approximately $28,000 versus the same period a year ago, primarily due to decreased orders from existing customers, offset by 3) increased sales in the generic seasonal division by approximately $30,000 due to increased orders from existing customers and 4) decrease in sales allowances and discounts taken by customers of approximately $10,000.

Cost of Sales 

Cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2020, decreased by 1.5%. The cost of sales decreased $28,414 to $1,911,697 while decreasing to 64.6% of sales for the year ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1,940,111 or 75.3% of sales for the year ended June 30, 2020.

 

The 1.5% decrease in cost of sales of $28,414 is primarily due to adverse effect the COVID-19 pandemic had on the cost of sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Cost of sales for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2020 increased 35% or $84,787 due to the costs associated with repurposing of finished goods inventory to adequately fill customer orders and realignment of staff during a period of decreased production. This cost was not applicable to the year ended June 30, 2021.

 

Labor costs, including wages, vacation pay and payroll taxes of $672,879 for the year ended June 30, 2021, increased 7.8% or $48,827 as compared to $624,052 for the year ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to increased production wages due to increased hours, bonuses, and pay rates compared to the same period ended June 30, 2020.

 

Freight expense, including shipping and handling costs on goods shipped of $115,587 for the year ended June 30, 2021, decreased 18.7% or $26,633 as compared to $142,220 for the year ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to changing carriers during the fiscal year.

 

Gross Profit on Sales 

The gross profit increased 64.8% or $412,460 to $1,048,660 increasing to 35.4% of related sales for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $636,200 or 24.7% of related sales for the year ended June 30, 2020, as a net result of the 1.5% decrease in cost of sales described above, the 14.9% increase in sales and a price increase that was effective in early 2021.

 

Finished goods inventory as of June 30, 2021 of $287,245 increased $201,613 or 235.44% from the June 30, 2020 finished goods inventory of $85,632. Raw materials inventory as of June 30, 2021 of $97,324 increased $31,769 or 48.5% from the June 30, 2020 raw materials inventory of $65,555. Packaging materials inventory as of June 30, 2021 of $224,318 increased $68,280 or 43.8% from June 30, 2020 packaging materials inventory of $156,038.

Selling Expenses 

Selling expenses for the year ended June 30, 2021 increased $20,831 to $320,775, which is 10.8% of sales, compared to $299,944 or 11.6% of sales for the year June 30, 2020. This increase is primarily due to higher commissions, and shipping costs. Commission expense increased $17,560 to $119,288 for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $101,278 for the year ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to an increase in sales of items where the Company pays commissions. Shipping costs associated with selling expenses increased $14,771 to $47,425 for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $32,654 for the year ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to an increase in orders placed. The above increases were offset by a decrease in depreciation expense of $12,554 for the year ended June 30, 2021.

 

General and Administrative Expenses 

General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2021 increased $60,978 to $541,725, which is 18.3% of sales, compared to $480,747 or 18.7% of sales for the year ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to higher professional fees and insurance expense. Professional fees increased $44,739 to $200,741 for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $156,002 for the year ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to increased audit and consulting fees. Insurance expense increased $15,181 to $146,161 for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $130,980 for the year ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to the increase in insurance premiums.

Other Income (Expense) 

Other income reflects a net of income of $177,573 for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to a net of expense of $(1,558) for the year ended June 30, 2020. This increase of $179,131 in other income was primarily due to the gain on extinguishment of debt related to the Paycheck Protection Program Promissory Note.

 

Income (Loss) before Income Taxes 

Income before income taxes was $363,733 for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to a loss before income taxes of $146,049 for the year ended June 30, 2020. The reasons for the increase of $509,782 have been previously discussed.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities  $(15,880)  $- 
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities  $104,321   $74,368 

 

Operating Activities

The negative cash flow of $134,716 generated from operations is a result of increases in inventory, increases in trade receivables and the gain on extinguishment of the PPP loan of $171,500. Total inventory as of June 30, 2021 of $620,141 increased $306,655 or 97.8% from the June 30, 2020 total inventory of $313,486. Trade receivables as of June 30, 2021 of $192,945 increased $48,706 or 33.7% from the June 30, 2020 trade receivables of $144,239. These reductions in cash flow were offset by the net income amount of $363,733 for the year ended June 30, 2021. The increase in inventory and the gain on extinguishment of debt had the most impact on the negative cash flow from operations.

 

Investing Activities 

The negative cash flow of $15,880 from investing is a result of equipment purchases made during the year ended June 30, 2021.

Fiscal Year 2021 Compared to Fiscal Year 2020 (Continued)

 

Financing Activities 

The Company borrowed $395,000 and $227,000, respectively, on its line-of-credit during fiscal 2021 and the fall of 2019 (fiscal 2020) busy seasons. Payments of $275,000 and $312,000, respectively, were paid for years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company entered into a $350,000 line-of-credit agreement expiring on January 4, 2022, with a variable interest rate at prime but not less than 5%. The line-of-credit is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company. Management anticipates renewal of the line-of-credit agreement at similar terms upon expiration.

 

Notes payable principal payments were $15,679 and $12,132 for years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

The Company received a loan in the amount of $171,500 during the year ended June 30, 2020 to fund payroll, rent, utilities and interest on mortgages and existing debt through the federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The PPP note has a 1.00% per annum interest rate and is subject to terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES act, as amended by the PPP Flexibility Act. Monthly principal and interest payments, less the amount of any potential forgiveness (as discussed below) will commence on November 10, 2020. This loan was fully forgiven during December 2020. A gain on extinguishment of debt has been recognized as other income.

 

Overall cash and cash equivalents decreased $46,275 to $7,115 at June 30, 2021 from $53,390 at June 30, 2020.

 

At June 30, 2021, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $5,705,366, compared to an accumulated deficit of $6,069,099 as of June 30, 2020. Working capital as of June 30, 2021 increased $279,057 to $568,676 from $289,619 as of June 30, 2020.

 

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 an amount not greater than 30%, at the sole discretion of lessor. The facility is leased from an entity that is partially 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. Primarily due to the fluctuations in these raw material prices, gross margins have decreased due to unchanged sales prices during the period. Management intends to make sales price adjustments in the future to correspond with changes in raw material prices.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chase General Corporation and Subsidiary (“Company”) as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as 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, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 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 the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits 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 consolidated 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 audits 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 audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTE 1NATURE 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. Management considers these two divisions as one reportable segment in these consolidated financial statements.

 

Use 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.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Shipping 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, 2021 and 2020 was $115,587 and $142,220, respectively.

 

Trade 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.

 

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 collectability 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.

 

Inventories

Finished good, 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.

 

Property and Equipment

The Company’s property and equipment is recorded at cost and is 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 Lesser of estimated  
  useful life or the  
  lease term

NOTE 1NATURE 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.

 

Notes Payable

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.

 

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 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 be able to realize all of the deferred income tax asset.

 

The Company’s policy is to evaluate uncertain tax positions under the guidance as prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021 and 2020.

Earnings 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.

 

The following table details out the contingently issuable shares for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. For 2020, the 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 $18,011 and $19,019 for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Going Concern

The Company follows ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)”. ASU 2014-15 provides guidance related to management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosure for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Management determined that, when considered in the aggregate, the current conditions and events, including the COVID-19 pandemic impact, do not raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are available for issuance.

Revenue Recognition

The majority of our 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 accounts 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, 2021 and 2020 resulting from updated estimates of revenue for prior year product sales were not significant. The Company has elected a 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. The various divisions of revenue are as follows:

 

   2021   2020 
Sales - Chase Candy  $1,868,899   $1,480,286 
Sales - Seasonal Candy   1,091,458    1,096,025 
Sales  $2,960,357   $2,576,311

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

The Company adopted the guidance of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, (ASC 842) as of July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all, and disclose key leasing information. The Company elected a package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which among other things, allows us to carryforward the historical lease classification, and exclude from balance sheet reporting those leases with initial terms of 12 months or less. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. Adoption of the new standard on July 1, 2019 resulted in the recording of operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities in the amount of $376,105. The standard did not materially affect the Company’s consolidated net income or cash flows. See Note 8—Commitments, Contingencies, and Related Party Transactions for the required disclosures of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

 

Recently Issued Pronouncements

There have been no newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have, or are expected to have, a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 2FORGIVABLE 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. Deferred revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term of 20 years. During the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, deferred revenue of $1,299 was amortized into income.

NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company leases its office and manufacturing facility, located at 1307 South 59th, St. Joseph, Missouri under an operating lease from an entity that is partially 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 $6,500 per month.

 

Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease 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 5.5 years and the present value of the lease payments is calculated using the lessor’s implicit rate of 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 $78,000 for the year ended June 30, 2021, of which, $71,565 is included in cost of sales and $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, 2021 are as follows:

 

Years Ending June 30,  Amount 
2022  $78,000 
2023   78,000 
2024   78,000 
2025   58,500 
Total Lease Payments   292,500 
Less: Imputed Interest   33,207 
Total Lease Liabilities  $259,293 

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had raw materials purchase commitments with one vendor totaling approximately $9,000.

NOTE 9 DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, and notes payable. There are no significant differences between the carrying value and fair value of any of these consolidated financial instruments. As of June 30, 2021, the amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with a borrowing rate available to the Company.

 

NOTE 10 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, two customers accounted for 49% and 53%, respectively, of the sales. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, two customers accounted for 52% and 36%, respectively, of trade receivables. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are further discussed below in Note 11. 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.

 

NOTE 11 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The COVID-19 pandemic is having significant effects on global markets, supply chains, businesses, and communities. The Company put preparedness plans in place at the manufacturing facility. 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.

 

To date, there has been minimal disruption to the supply chain network, including the supply of ingredients, packaging or other sourced materials, though it is possible that more disruptions could occur if the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact markets around the world. The Company has repackaged inventory to continue to fill orders as needed and repurposed employees to better meet the current needs. Cost measures have been put in place to limit any nonessential needs.

 

The Company believes they have sufficient liquidity to satisfy current cash needs, however, they continue to evaluate and take action, as necessary, to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure that the business can continue to operate during these uncertain times.

 

The potential impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements could occur as early as the first quarter of fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 and include, but not limited to: impairment of long lived assets; including property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets related to the Company’s fair value and collectability of receivables and other financial assets.

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

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Management has assessed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in relation to criteria described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment using those criteria, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

 

A material weakness was identified in our internal control over financial reporting due to a lack of accounting personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training to perform an assessment of its internal controls. This has also resulted in a failure to maintain appropriate segregation of duties over system access. Management believes that this material weakness did not have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial results reported herein. We believe that this material weakness can be remedied or mitigated through further use of our outside, independent financial consultant.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
