ITEM 2
CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Chase General and its wholly-owned subsidiary are engaged in the
manufacture of confectionery products which are sold primarily to
wholesale houses, grocery accounts, vendors, and repackers.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997
Sales:
The Company had no unusual transactions for the nine months ended
March 31, 1999. The Company realized a gross profit margin of
22.95% for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to
21.62% for the same period ended a year ago. Consolidated net
sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 of $1,753,469,
were 1% below the $1,773,026 in 1998's first nine months. No
major customers were lost during this nine month period. The
1999 improved gross profit margin is due to a decrease in direct
and indirect labor costs.
Expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 17.8% of sales
in the nine month period ended March 31, 1999 compared to 19.4%
in the first nine months of 1998. Interest expense continues to
decrease because of debt retirement.
Inventories at March 31, 1999 were $36,000 higher than at June
30, 1998 due to increased non-seasonal sales orders from a major
customer. Accounts payable are $4,500 lower than at June 30,
1998.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998
Sales:
The Company's net sales increased 13% over net sales for the
three months ended March 31, 1998. This three month period is
normally the Company's slowest season. However, due to new sales
from a major customer, sales were significantly higher for the
March 1999 quarter.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 30.8% of sales
in the three month period ended March 31, 1999 compared to 35.3%
in the same period a year ago. The improved percentage is a
result of increased sales for the current period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 1999, the Company has no commitments for
capitalized expenditures. Cash increased $117,000 during the
current nine month period as a result of controlling overhead
costs. Working capital also increased approximately $76,500 for
the current nine month period.
The officers of the corporation and legal counsel continue to
discuss liquidity and capital resource options to resolve the
$5.7 million cumulative preferred stock dividends that are in
arrears.
