FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016

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 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 six case sizes:

(1)

60 count pack

(2)

12 boxes of 24 bars per box

(3)

200 count shipper box

(4)

100 count shipper box

(1)

24 - 12 oz. bags

(2)

6 jars - 60 bars per jar

(3)

23 # wrapped bars

(4)

22 # unwrapped bars

(5)

12 - 12 oz. bags

(6)

6 - 4 # jars

(7)

24 - 12 oz. clamshell containers

(1)	Coconut Bon-Bons	(6) Peanut Brittle
(2)	Coconut Stacks	(7) Peanut Clusters
(3)	Home Style Poe Fudge	(8) Champion Crème Drops
(4)	Peco Flake	(9) Jelly Candies
(5)	Peanut Squares	(10) Frosted Pretzels

The Champion Creme Drops, Frosted Pretzels and Jelly Candies are not produced or repackaged 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, 2016 and 2015, this division accounted for 56% and 61%, 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, 2016 and 2015, this division accounted for 44% and 39%, 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.

Chase General Corporation

ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016

Competition and Market Area (Continued)

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.

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. 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 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

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. For the year ended June 30, 2015 one supplier accounted for 11% of the cost of sales. No other supplier accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s cost of sales in fiscal years 2016 and 2015.

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 2023. The Company and its legal representatives do not expect any impediment to renewing this trademark prior to its expiration.

Employees

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had 19 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, 2016 and 2015, one customer accounted for 41% and 27%, respectively, of gross sales. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, that same customer accounted for 24% and 8%, respectively, of trade receivables. For the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, another customer and its affiliates accounted for 17% and 18%, respectively, of gross sales. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, that same customer and its affiliates accounted for 36% and 47%, respectively, of trade receivables. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s sales in fiscal years 2016 and 2015.

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 is evaluating 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. To the best of management’s knowledge, the Company has approximately two years to become compliant with all FSMA requirements and does not anticipate any future 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.

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 on-line on the SEC’s EDGAR website.

PROPERTIES

We conduct our operations from two buildings as follows:

Chase Warehouse - This building is located in St. Joseph, Missouri and is owned by Dye Candy Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant. The facility is currently devoted entirely to the storage of supplies, and the warehousing and shipping of candy products. This warehouse is over seventy years old, is in fair condition and adequate to meet present requirements. The warehouse has approximately 15,000 square feet and is not encumbered.

Chase General Office and Dye Candy Company Operating Plant - This building is located in St. Joseph, Missouri and contains the general offices (of approximately 2,000 square feet) for Chase General Corporation, Dye Candy Company and its divisions. The production plant of Dye Candy Company occupies the remainder of the building or 18,000 square feet. The building, specifically designed for the Company, is leased from an entity owned by the Vice-President and Director of the Company. The annual rental expense of this facility was $78,000 for each year ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

The net book value of our premises, land and office, and production equipment totaled $353,647 and $360,763 at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

We believe both facilities are adequately covered by insurance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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. 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 2016, the Company’s net sales were $3,304,604, as compared to net sales of $3,223,939 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. This 2.5% increase in volume combined with a 9.2% increase in cost of sales and a 2.9% increase in operating expenses resulted in decreased profitability during the year, as reflected in the income from operations of $38,936 for fiscal year 2016 compared to $190,390 for fiscal year 2015. Working capital increased $72,387 to $804,450 for the current year from $732,063 for the fiscal year 2015 due primarily to an increase in income taxes receivable, increase in inventories, decreases in accounts payable, and a decrease in income tax payable offset by decreases in cash, decreases in trade receivables, increases in accrued expenses, and increases in current maturities of notes 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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates (Continued)

General (Continued)

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Except for events in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, there have been no other events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2016, 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, 2016.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues as product is shipped to customers. Net sales are comprised of the total sales billed during the period less the estimated returns, customer allowances, and customer discounts.

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 to require an excessive collection cost, are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories

Inventories are carried at the “lower of cost or market value,” with cost being determined on the “first-in, first-out” basis of accounting. Finished goods and goods in process include a provision for manufacturing overhead.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates (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 such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts of such assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. 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.

Fiscal Year 2016 Compared to Fiscal Year 2015

Net Sales

During the year ended June 30, 2016, sales, net of returns and allowances, increased $80,665 or 2.5% as compared to the year ended June 30, 2015. Gross sales for Chase Candy products decreased $103,411 or 5.2% to $1,869,444 for the year ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1,972,855 for 2015. Gross sales for Seasonal Candy products increased $202,981 or 15.8% to $1,489,324 for the year ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $1,286,343 for 2015. The Company’s returns and allowances increased $16,017 or 34.9% to $61,881 for the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to $45,864 for the year ended June 30, 2015. The Company’s other sales decreased $2,888 or 27.2% to $7,717 for the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to $10,605 for the year ended June 30, 2015.

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 5.2% decrease in gross sales of Chase Candy of $103,411 for the year ended June 30, 2016 over the same period ended June 30, 2015, is primarily due to the following: 1) decreased sales of the L276 Cherry Mash Distributor Pack division by approximately $104,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to three customers decreasing orders and 2) various other fluctuations netting to a increase of approximately $1,000.

Fiscal Year 2016 Compared to Fiscal Year 2015 (Continued)

Net Sales (Continued)

Sales for Seasonal Candy consisted of the following divisions: bulk seasonal division, clamshell seasonal division, and the generic seasonal division. The 15.8% increase in gross sales of Seasonal Candy of $202,981 for the year ended June 30, 2016 over the same period ended June 30, 2015, is primarily due to the net effect of the following: 1) increased sales in the generic seasonal product division by approximately $245,000 due to increased orders from two customers offset by decreased orders of another customer; 2) increased sales in the bulk seasonal division by approximately $30,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to increased orders from one customer; offset by 3) decreased sales in the clamshell seasonal division by approximately $72,000 versus the same period a year ago primarily due to decreased orders from four customers.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2015, increased by 9.2%. The cost of sales increased $209,696 to $2,477,479 while increasing to 75.0% of net sales for the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to $2,267,783 or 70.3% of net sales for the year ended June 30, 2015.

The 9.2% increase in cost of sales of $209,696 is primarily due to the net impact of a 2.5% increase in net sales of $80,665 and a 8.4% increase in the price of corn syrup offset by a 3.4% decrease in the price of sugar, a 2.8% decrease in the price of chocolate and a 11.0% decrease in the price of peanuts. 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.

Labor costs, including wages, vacation pay and payroll taxes of $560,812 for the year ended June 30, 2016, increased 11.1% or $55,839 as compared to $504,973 for the period ended 2015 primarily due to increased production wages due to increased hours, bonuses, and pay rates compared to the same period ended June 30, 2015.

Freight expense, including shipping and handling costs on goods shipped of $183,456 for the year ended June 30, 2016, decreased 2.3% or $4,322 as compared to $187,778 for the period ended 2015 due primarily to a decrease in fuel costs.

Fiscal Year 2016 Compared to Fiscal Year 2015 (Continued)

Gross Profit on Sales

The gross profit decreased 13.5% or $129,031 to $827,125 decreasing to 25.0% of related net sales for the year ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $956,156 or 29.7% of related net sales for the year ended June 30, 2015, as a result of the large increase in cost of sales described above and offset by the small increase in net sales.

Finished goods inventory as of June 30, 2016 of $433,043 increased $55,190 or 14.6% from the June 30, 2015 finished goods inventory of $377,853. Raw materials inventory as of June 30, 2016 of $76,561 decreased $13,951 or 15.4% from the June 30, 2015 raw materials inventory of $90,506. Packaging materials inventory as of June 30, 2016 of $135,732 increased $5,002 or 3.8% from June 30, 2015 packaging materials inventory of $130,726. Goods in process inventory as of June 30, 2016 of $6,540 decreased $7,275 or 52.7% from the June 30, 2015 goods in process inventory of $13,815. Inventory levels vary based primarily on sales and purchases.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses for the year ended June 30, 2016 increased $13,067 to $436,869, which is 13.2% of net sales, compared to $423,802 or 13.2% of net sales for the year June 30, 2015. This increase is primarily due to higher commissions and depreciation expense offset by lower auto expense. Commissions increased $9,318 to $117,294 for the year ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $107,976 for the year ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to an increase in sales from the brokers. Depreciation expense increased $10,721 to $50,813 for the year ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $40,542 for the year ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $130,026 during the year ended June 30, 2015 combined with the purchases of property and equipment of $87,352 during the year ended June 30, 2016. Auto expense decreased $6,884 to $11,961 for the year ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $18,845 for the year ended June 30, 2015, primarily because of new vehicles taking place of the old ones in the current year and lower gasoline prices.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2016 increased $4,251 to $372,684, which is 11.3% of net sales, compared to $368,466 or 11.4% of net sales for the year ended June 30, 2015. The increase is primarily due to an increase in professional fees, a decrease in insurance expense, and other changes netting an increase in expenses of $5,807 over the same period for the year ended June 30, 2015. Professional fees increased $22,076 to $112,007 for the year ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $89,931 for the year ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to an increase in audit fees and low legal fees during the year ended June 30, 2015. Insurance expense decreased $23,632 to $98,632 for the year ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $122,264 for the year ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to less employees on the health coverage plan.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

The table below presents the summary of cash flow for the fiscal year indicated.

	2016			2015
Net Cash Provided (Used) by Operating Activities	$	(26,149	)	$	55,681
Net Cash Used by Investing Activities	$	(24,671	)	$	(108,798	)
Net Cash Used by Financing Activities	$	(14,125	)	$	(25,114	)

Operating Activities

The negative cash flow of $26,149 generated from operations is a result of small fluctuations in net sales, increases in operating expenses and the Company continuing to monitor raw material pricing, and when a price increase or decrease is anticipated, adjustments to inventory levels are made accordingly. During the year ended June 30, 2016, sales, net of returns and allowances, increased $80,665 or 2.5% as compared to the year ended June 30, 2015. Total inventory as of June 30, 2016 of $651,876 increased $38,976 or 6.3% from the June 30, 2015 total inventory of $612,900. The timing of inventory purchases and collections from customer’s impact cash flow generated from operations.

Investing Activities

Machinery and equipment cash purchases of $24,671 and $108,798 were made during the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Financing Activities

The Company borrowed $300,000 and $265,000, respectively, on its line-of-credit during the fall of 2015 (fiscal 2016) and 2014 (fiscal 2015) busy seasons. Payments of $300,000 and $265,000, respectively, were paid for years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The Company entered into a $350,000 line-of-credit agreement expiring on January 4, 2017, 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.

Loan principal payments were $14,125 and $25,114 for years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Overall cash and cash equivalents decreased $64,945 to $19,259 at June 30, 2016 from $84,204 at June 30, 2015.

Financing Activities (Continued)

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $5,463,806, compared to an accumulated deficit of $5,497,402 as of June 30, 2015. Working capital as of June 30, 2016 increased $72,387 to $804,450 from $732,063 as of June 30, 2015.

The Company’s lease on its office and plant facility is effective through March 31, 2025, with an option to extend for an additional time 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 owned 100% by the Vice-President and Director.

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.

To the Board of Directors

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chase General Corporation and Subsidiary (the Company) as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chase General Corporation and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

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.

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 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.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues as product is shipped to customers. Net sales are comprised of the total sales billed during the period, including shipping and handling charges to customers, less the estimated returns, customer allowances and customer discounts.

NOTE 1

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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, 2016 and 2015 was $183,456 and $187,778, respectively.

Trade Receivables

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

Inventories are carried at the "lower of cost or market value" with cost being determined on the "first-in, first-out" basis of accounting. The cost of finished goods and goods in process inventories include an estimate for manufacturing overhead.

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

Years Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

NOTE 1

NATURE 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.

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.

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, 2016 and 2015, 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, 2016 and 2015.

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.

NOTE 2

FORGIVABLE LOAN AND DEFERRED INCOME

During 2004, the Company received a $25,000 economic development incentive from Buchanan County, which is a five year forgivable loan at a rate of $5,000 per year. The Nodaway Valley Bank 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, 2016 and 2015, deferred revenue of $1,298 and $1,299, respectively, was amortized into income.

NOTE 11

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required regarding customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The guidance will initially be applied retrospectively using one of two methods. The standard will be effective for the entity for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted beginning for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact of the amended revenue recognition guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," ("ASU 2015-11"). An entity using an inventory method other than last-in, first out ("LIFO") or the retail inventory method should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new guidance clarifies that net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The update is effective as of January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance for the treatment of leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for all operating and finance leases with lease terms greater than one year. The guidance also requires both qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding the nature of the entity’s leasing activities. The guidance will initially be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The amendments in the guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the amended lease guidance on the its consolidated financial statements.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

In August 2014, the FASB issued 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. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” as part of its simplification initiatives. This update requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as non-current on the consolidated condensed balance sheet for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early application is permitted. An entity can elect to adopt prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-17 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 that amends current consolidation guidance related to the evaluation of whether certain legal entities should be consolidated. The standard modifies both the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model and the voting interest model, including analyses of whether limited partnerships are VIEs and the impact of service fees and related party interests in determining if an entity is a VIE to the reporting entity. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-02 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

Based on such evaluation, such officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective 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.

(b)

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, 2016, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

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.

(c)

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.
