                              PART I

ITEM 1    BUSINESS

     (a)  General development of business

          (1)  Narrative history of business

               Chase General Corporation was incorporated
November 6, 1944 for the purpose of manufacturing confectionery
products.  In 1970 Chase General Corporation acquired 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 this reporting entity. There were no
material acquisitions, dispositions, new developments, or changes
in conducting business during the past five fiscal years. 
However, as of June 30, 1987, the working capital of the Company
became impaired due to the maturity of $696,000 of notes payable. 
During the fiscal year end 1991 a portion of the notes were paid
in full and the remaining notes were extended to December 20,
1994.  Negotiation of a second extension of the notes began
during fiscal year ended 1995.  An extension to December 20, 2002
was unanimously accepted December 20, 1995 with the agreement
that this will be the final extension.  Refer to "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" contained in Part II of this filing for further
information.

          (2)  Not applicable.

     (b)  Segment information

          The products of the Chase Candy Division and the Poe
Candy Division of Dye Candy Company are sold to the same types 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 in production.  Therefore, due to the
similarity in the marketing and manufacturing of the products,
segment reporting for these divisions is not required to be
disclosed in accordance with FASB 14.

     (c)  Narrative description of businesses

          (1)  Description of business done and intended to be
done by dominant single industry

               (i)  The principal products produced and methods
of distribution are as follows:

                           (Continued)

ITEM 1    BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

                    Chase Candy Division of Dye Candy Company
produces a candy bar under the trade name of "Cherry MashR".  The
bar is distributed in four case sizes: 

                    (1)  60 count pack
                    (2)  24 packs of 3 bars per pack
                    (3)  12 boxes of 24 bars per box
                    (4)  192 count shipper box

                    In addition to the regular size bar, a
"mini-mash" is distributed in four case sizes:

                    (1)  24 - 12 oz. bags
                    (2)  6 jars - 60 bars per jar
                    (3)  28 # wrapped bars
                    (4)  22 # unwrapped bars

                    The bars are sold primarily to wholesale
candy and tobacco jobbing houses, grocery accounts, and vendors. 
"Cherry MashR" bars are marketed in the Midwest region of the
United States.  For the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995, and
1994, this division accounted for 52%, 51%, and 48%,
respectively,  of the consolidated revenue of Dye Candy Company.

                    Poe Candy Division of Dye Candy Company
produces coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries. 
These products are distributed in bulk or packaged.  Principal
products include:

                    (1)  Coconut Bon-Bons    (6)  Peanut brittle
                    (2)  Coconut Stacks      (7)  Coconut cubes
                    (3)  Home Style Poe      (8)  Peanut clusters
                           Fudge   
                    (4)  Peco Flake          (9)  Champion Creme  
                                                  Drops
                    (5)  Peanut Squares      (10) Jelly Candies

                    The Poe line is sold primarily on a Midwest
regional basis to national syndicate accounts, repackers, and
grocery accounts.  For the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995, and
1994, this division accounted for 48%, 49%, and 52%,
respectively, of the consolidated revenue of Dye Candy Company.

               (ii)      Not applicable.

               (iii)     Raw materials and packaging materials
are produced on a national basis with products coming from most
of the states of the United States.  Raw materials and packaging
materials are generally widely available, depending, of course,
on common market influences.

                           (Continued)

ITEM 1    BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

               (iv)      The largest single revenue producing
product, the "Cherry MashR" bar is protected by a trademark
registered with the United States Government Patents Office. 
Management considers this trademark very important to the
Company. The trademark was renewed during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1985.

               (v)       The Company is a seasonal business
whereby the largest volume of sales occur in the spring and fall
of each year.  The net income per quarter of the Company varies
in direct proportion to the seasonal sales volume.

               (vi)      Due to the seasonal nature of the
business, there is a heavier demand on working capital in the
summer and winter months of the year when the Company is building
its inventories in anticipation of fall and spring 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 in early fall 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.

               (vii)     No single customer accounted for 10% or
more of the gross sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1994. 
For the year ending June 30, 1996 and 1995, Associated Wholesale
Grocers of Springfield, MO, accounted for 10.79% and 11.88% of
gross sales, respectively.  The loss of this customer would not
have an adverse effect on the Company as customer purchases and
distributes to retail outlets and these outlets would continue to
demand products offered by Dye Candy Company.

               (viii)    Prompt, efficient service are traits
demanded in the confectionery industry resulting 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.

               (ix)      Not applicable.

                           (Continued)

ITEM 1    BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

               (x)       The confectionery market for the type of
product produced by the divisions of Dye Candy Company is very
competitive and quality minded.  The confectionery (candy)
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 Bradley Candy
Company, Crown Candy Company, Vermico Candy Company, and the Poe
Division of Dye Candy Company with approximately 70% of the
market share among them.  In the United States, Sophie Mae and
Old Dominion have approximately 80% of the market share of the
peanut candy business in which the Poe Division operates.  Dye
Candy Company sells approximately 90% 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.  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' experience associated with its name.

               (xi)      Not applicable.

               (xii)     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.

               (xiii)    The Company employs approximately 25
full time personnel year round which expands to approximately 50
full time personnel during the two busy production seasons.

          (d)  Foreign and domestic operations and export sales

               The Company has no foreign operations or export
sales.  In addition, all domestic sales are primarily in the
Midwest region of the United States.

ITEM 2    PROPERTIES

     The registrant operates out of two buildings consisting of
the following:

     Chase and Poe Warehouse - This building located in St.
Joseph, Missouri is owned by Dye Candy Company, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the registrant.  The facilities are currently
devoted entirely to the storage of supplies, and the warehousing
and shipping of candy products.  This warehouse consists of a
sixty-five year old building which is in fair condition and is
adequate to meet present requirements.  The warehouse has
approximately 15,000 square feet.

     Chase General Office and Dye Candy Company Operating Plant -
The building housing the office and plant is located in St.
Joseph, Missouri, and was originally owned by Chase Building
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dye Candy Company.  In

Subsequently, the Company sold this facility.  The property was
leased from the purchaser in March, 1975.  Refer to Note 3,
"Notes to Financial Statements," for terms of the lease.  The
building contains the general offices of Chase General
Corporation, Dye Candy Company, and its divisions.  The
production plant of Dye Candy Company occupies the remainder of
the building.  The building was acquired new in 1964 and was
specifically designed for the type of operations conducted by the
registrant.  The facility is adequate to meet present
requirements.  The operating plant is approximately 20,000 square
feet and the office is approximately 2,000 square feet.  The
Company renegotiated the original lease on this building which
expired March 31, 1995.  The terms of the new lease began April
1, 1995 and continues for ten years.  

ITEM 3    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company is not, and has not been, a party in any
material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary
litigation incidental to its business, during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996, nor are any such proceedings contemplated.  

ITEM 4    RESULTS OF VOTES OF SECURITY HOLDERS

ITEM 7    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     (a & b)   Liquidity and capital resources

          Positive cash flows from operating activities were
generated for fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 in
the amounts of $104,944, $116,893 and $79,135, respectively.

          In order to preserve cash for the fall production
season, the Company continues to invest in U.S. Treasury
obligations.  The Company redeemed its June 30, 1994 obligation
in early fall of 1994.  However, due to the timing of a new
promotional product to be released in early fall 1995, the U.S.
Treasury obligation purchased December 22, 1994 was redeemed
immediately prior to June 30, 1995.  Due to a capital asset
purchase in June 1996, the U.S. Treasury obligation purchased
November 24, 1995 was redeemed on May 23, 1996.

          Inventory balance of raw materials decreased from June
30, 1995 to June  30, 1996.  This is due to timing of product
purchases and commitments to purchase products at different times
during the fiscal year.  At June 30, 1995 year end there were
purchase commitments totaling $160,600 to purchase raw materials
from three suppliers.  At June 30, 1996, there were purchase
commitments totaling $269,000 to purchase raw materials from four
suppliers.  This accounted for a decrease of raw materials at
June 30, 1996.  The majority of these commitments have now been
delivered to the Company and are in inventory ready for
processing during the 1996 fall season.  Inventory balances of
packaging materials increased from June 30, 1995 to June 30,
1996.  There was an increase in packaging materials at June 30,
1996, due to timing of purchase of packaging supplies.  In the
prior year certain wrapping materials for Cherry Mash products
were at a low volume whereas at June 30, 1996 these products had
been restored.  Packaging materials are purchased in large
volumes and carried for several years due to the high cost to
suppliers to cut dies and print materials.  Finished goods
inventory remained comparable to prior year as did goods in
process.

          The Company continues to write off equipment that is no
longer useful to the operations of the Company.  These write offs
have been immaterial over the past three years.  The Company also
continues to replace old equipment on a yearly basis in order to
streamline operations.  However, due to cash flow needs in other
areas, the Company has not been able to update the equipment at
any significant level.  In June 1996, the Company purchased
$69,443 of new equipment.  The equipment was not in operation at
June 30, 1996 but is expected to be ready for production in early
fall of 1996.  The equipment consists of a wrapper machine and
metal detector.  Any additional cost to have the equipment
completely operational will be minimal.

                           (Continued)

ITEM 7    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

          Of the original $630,000 Series B notes payable,
$252,656 remain outstanding at June 30, 1996.  The Company
received approval effective December 20, 1995 to extend the notes
to December 20, 2002 at the current 6% rate of interest.  Of the
$252,656 amount outstanding $9,676 has been classified as a
current liability and $242,980 is classified as long-term at June
30, 1996.

          The Company's lease on its manufacturing facility
expired March 31, 1995.  The lease was renewed effective April 1,
1995 for a period of 10 years at $2,955 per month.

     (c)  Results of Operations

          Net sales for year ending June 30, 1994 decreased 2.19%
from 1993 and net sales for the year ending June 30, 1995
decreased 9.71% from 1994.  The depressed economy due to the 1993
floods adversely affected the Company since the majority of the
Company's market is in the Midwest area.  The Company also lost a
customer in 1994 who accounted for 2.7% of the 1993 net sales. 
This customer had requested a special size product which the
Company felt was not feasible or profitable to produce based upon
the amount of orders the customer would give the Company. 
Therefore, the customer was lost in the entirety.  During year
ending June 30, 1995 several small customers discontinued
operations.  This along with the customer loss in 1994 were
contributing factors in the 1995 decrease in net sales.  However,
during the year ending June 30, 1996 net sales increased 3.60%
over 1995.  This increase was attributed to an increase in
promotion of the Cherry Mash line of products, and an aggressive
sales approach to existing customers. It is anticipated that the
increased promotion of this product line will have a continued
positive impact on future sales.

          For the year ending June 30, 1996, the Company realized
a .26% decrease in cost of sales compared to fiscal 1995.  This
decrease was due to tighter inventory controls and consistent
pricing from suppliers.  Cost of sales decreased 2.84% from June
30, 1994 to June 30, 1995 due primarily to a decrease in material
cost and labor expense.  Also there was a reduction of workmen's
compensation insurance expense which was attributed to a change
in insurance carriers and the hiring of part-time workers through
a temporary employment agency.  Cost of sales for year ending
June 30, 1994 increased 3.88% compared to fiscal 1993 due
primarily to increased supervision salaries and increased
production incentives provided to the plant labor force.

                           (Continued)



<PAGE>                          9







ITEM 7    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

          It is estimated that gross profit will increase due to
an increase in promotion and due to an increase in sales price of
the Cherry Mash line of candies.  It does not appear that the
price increase will affect sales volume of the product as it has
established its market in prior years.  Also new products
introduced in prior years can be expected to be offered to the
market at a higher profit margin since acceptance has now been
obtained in the market place.

          Selling expenses and general and administrative
expenses have remained constant for the three years included in
the current fiscal reporting period.  Interest expense continues
to decline due to a reduction in outstanding balances for notes
payable.

          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.

          There has been no material impact from inflation and
changing prices on net sales and revenues or on income from
continuing operations for the last three fiscal years.

          The effects of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 on the
Company's liquidity  and results of operations for the years
ending June 30, 1994 through 1996 were immaterial and therefore
the Company did not feel it necessary to record any deferred
taxes as the result of the Tax Reform Act.  As of the date of
this filing, the Company does not feel that future years'

                   INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Chase General Corporation and Subsidiary as of June 30, 1996 and
1995 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended June 30, 1996.  These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the 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, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
June 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

             CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
            SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Chase General Corporation was incorporated on November 6, 1944 in
the State of Missouri for the purpose of manufacturing
confectionery products.  The Company's fiscal year ends June 30. 
Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are
presented below:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dye Candy Company.  All
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

ACCOUNTING METHOD

The Company and its subsidiary use the accrual method of
accounting.  Under this method, revenue is recognized when earned
and expense is recognized when the obligation is incurred.

SEGMENT REPORTING OF THE BUSINESS

The subsidiary, Dye Candy Company, operates two divisions, Chase
Candy Company and Poe Candy Company.  Operations in Chase Candy
Company involve production and sale of a candy bar marketed under
the trade name "Cherry Mash".  Operations in Poe Candy Company
involve production and sale of coconut, peanut, chocolate, and
fudge confectioneries.  Division products 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.  Therefore, due to the
similarities in the products manufactured, segment reporting for
the two divisions has not been disclosed in these financial
statements.

For the year ending June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, one customer
accounted for 10.79% and 11.88% of the gross sales respectively. 
No single customer accounted for 10% or more of gross sales for
the year ending June 30, 1994.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are carried at the "lower of cost or market value,"
cost being determined on the "first-in, first-out" basis of
accounting.

             CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
            SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method for
additions prior to 1981, and by the ACRS and MACRS methods for
assets acquired after 1980 for both financial reporting and
income tax purposes.  Any difference between the amount of
depreciation determined under the ACRS and MACRS systems and that
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles is considered to be immaterial.

The Company's property and equipment are being depreciated on
straight-line and accelerated methods over the following
estimated useful lives:

          Buildings                     25 years
          Machinery and equipment       3 - 10 years
          Trucks and autos              3 - 5 years
          Office equipment              5 - 10 years
          Leasehold improvements        8 - 31.5 years


For the years ending June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
depreciation expense was $41,670, $42,903 and $50,144,
respectively.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

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

USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.





     This information is an integral part of the accompanying
                consolidated financial statements.

                        CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
                        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - NOTES PAYABLE, SERIES B

On December 1, 1967, the Company issued Collateral Sinking Fund
6% Income Registered Notes in the amount of $680,000.  These
notes were issued to extend and consolidate notes and
certificates of indebtedness then held by F. S. Yantis & Co.,
Inc. (Yantis & Co.), aggregating approximately $569,000 together
with unpaid accrued interest of $111,000.  Interest is payable
from "surplus net earnings" on the 20th day of December following
the fiscal year end.

Pursuant to a supplemental indenture, dated April 1, 1968 and
executed in compliance with a request by Yantis & Co. in
furtherance of the winding-up of its affairs, the original notes
aggregating $680,000 were reissued in two series designated as A
and B, respectively.  The Series A notes aggregating $50,000 had
priority and were retired during the year ended June 30, 1984. 
The Series B notes totaling $630,000 are held by the former
shareholders of Yantis & Co.  During the years ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, $35,146 and $15,000 principal was paid on the
Series B notes, respectively.

As of June 30, 1996 and 1995, the outstanding Series B notes
total $252,656 and $287,802, respectively. Of these amounts
$91,452 and $104,174 are owed to officers and directors of the
Company.

The Company has agreed to secure the payment of principal and
interest on the notes by the pledge of the capital stock of Dye
Candy Company under an indenture dated December 1, 1967, and
supplemental indenture dated June 30, 1970.

The indenture provides for a sinking fund deposit to be made by
the Company each year of not less than one-fourth of the
Company's fiscal year "surplus net earnings," which exceeds the
amount of interest required to be paid on the outstanding notes. 
If at any time the sinking fund deposits aggregate $10,000 or
more, the same will be applied to prepayment of the notes
outstanding.  At June 30, 1996 and 1995, all sinking fund
deposits had been disbursed to the noteholders.  The "surplus net
earnings" is the amount by which the consolidated net income,
after adding back the current year's interest on the outstanding
notes, exceeds a $25,000 working capital reserve.

See Note 2 for computation of "surplus net earnings" and sinking
fund requirements for years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - NOTES PAYABLE, SERIES B (CONTINUED)

Principal payments are made by the trustee under terms of the
indenture and may be prepaid at the option of the Company. 
During the year ended June 30, 1991, the notes were extended to
December 20, 1994.  Effective December 20, 1995, the notes were
extended to December 20, 2002 at the same 6% interest rate and
with the agreement that this will be the final note extension. 
Due to the nature of sinking fund requirements, it is not
practicable to include a schedule of future principal payments.

Dividends, other than stock dividends, may not be paid on capital
stock at any time interest on the notes is not current.

NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS

Dye Candy Company leases its manufacturing facilities located at
3600 Leonard Road, St. Joseph, Missouri.  The original lease,
which commenced March 31, 1975, was for a twenty-year period and
required a monthly rental fee of $2,263, payable on the first day
of each calendar month.  This lease was renegotiated effective
April 1, 1995 for 10 years at $2,955 per month.  Rental expense
for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 totaled $37,723,
$29,232 and $27,156, respectively and is included in cost of
sales.

Future minimum lease payments under this lease are as follows:

Year ending June 30, 1997                 $  35,460
Year ending June 30, 1998                    35,460
Year ending June 30, 1999                    35,460
Year ending June 30, 2000                    35,460
Year ending June 30, 2001                    35,460
Later years                                 132,975

     Total                                $ 310,275


The manufacturing facilities referred to above were owned by Dye
Candy Company prior to March 31, 1975.  When the building was
sold on March 31, 1975, the gain on the sale of the building was
included in the income of Dye Candy Company in the year of sale. 
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 13, Accounting for
leases, calls for the amortization of any profit or loss on a
sale-leaseback transaction to be amortized in proportion to the
amortization of the leased asset.  However, the effective date of
FASB 13 was for transactions entered into after January 1, 1977.

As of June 30, 1996, the Company had purchase commitments with
four vendors for approximately $269,000.
