ACCOUNTANT'S STATEMENT
We are unable to complete the audit for inclusion in
the Form 10K for Chase General Corporation to file by September
29, 1997. Due to our Firm policy on the review of SEC audit
reports, and to maintain compliance with the AICPA Division for
Firms SEC Practice Section, the audit must be passed through four
separate quality control reviews before it is released. The
audit has presently passed two of those reviews with the final
approval expected shortly.
