NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results for a full year.

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is
presented on pages 19 and 20 (not shown) of its 1999 Annual
Report to Shareholders.  Users of financial information produced
for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the footnotes
contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders when reviewing
interim financial results.  There has been no material change in
the accounting policies followed by the Company during the
quarter ended September 30, 1999.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim
consolidated condensed financial statements contain all
adjustments necessary to present fairly Chase General
Corporation's financial position as of September 30, 1999 and
June 30, 1999 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the first quarter ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.

             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

First Quarter ended September 30, 1999 and 1998

Sales - The Company had no unusual transactions for the first
quarter ended September 30, 1999.  The Company realized a gross
profit percentage of 25.52% and 22.12% for the first quarter
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Consolidated
net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 of $453,521,
were 16% above the $391,701 in 1998's first quarter.  No major
customers were lost during the current quarter.  The 1999
improved gross margin is due to a volume increase in sales.

Expenses - Selling, general and administrative were 21.4% of
sales in the quarter ended September 30 1999 compared to 23.73%
in the first quarter of 1998, which is consistent with last year.

Inventories at September 30, 1999 are $235,000 higher than at
June 30, 1999 since the Company is presently in their fall busy
season.  In addition accounts payable is $160,363 higher at
September 30, 1999 compared to June 30, 1999 which also reflects
the entrance into the Company's fall busy season.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 1999, the Company has no commitments for
capitalized expenditures.  Cash decreased $140,537 as a result of
the increased seasonal build-up of inventories.

The officers of the Company and legal counsel continue to discuss
liquidity and capital resource options to resolve the $5.8
million cumulative preferred stock dividends in arrears.
