CHASE PACKAGING CORPORATION

(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2008

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

 

Chase Packaging Corporation (the “Company”), a Texas Corporation, manufactured woven paper mesh for industrial applications and polypropylene mesh fabric bags for agricultural use and distributed agricultural packaging manufactured by other companies.  The Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of TGC Industries, Inc. through July 31, 1996.

 

The Company had experienced losses for past years, and the Company’s secured lender decided not to renew the Company’s operating line of credit.  As a result, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and all of its creditors to liquidate in an orderly fashion.

 

On June 25, 1997, the Company announced to employees and creditors that it would begin an orderly liquidation of all its assets beginning at the close of business on June 30, 1997.  On July 25, 1997, the Company notified its creditors by mail that it would commence with an orderly liquidation of all its remaining assets outside of a formal bankruptcy or receivership proceeding in a manner intended to maximize asset values.  Liquidation of the Company’s assets was completed as of December 31, 1997.

 

Since January 1, 1999, the Board has been devoting its efforts to establishing a new business and accordingly, the Company is being treated as a development stage company in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.

 

Management’s plans for the Company include securing a merger or acquisition, raising additional capital and other strategies designed to optimize shareholder value.  However, no assurance can be given that management will be successful in its efforts.  The failure to achieve these plans will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.  The accompanying condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

 

NOTE 2 - LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:

 

Loss per common share, both basic and diluted, was calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each reporting period.  The diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share because the Company has incurred a net loss in all periods presented.  The outstanding common

stock equivalents which consist of warrants that could potentially dilute basic loss per share in the future that were not included in diluted loss per share because their effect on the periods presented was antidilutive were 21,721,000 and 1,365,000 as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS:

 

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the Company’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference.  Specific reference is made to this report for a description of the Company’s securities and the notes to financial statements.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB released FASB Staff Position (FSP FAS 157-2 — Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157) which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157   for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The implementation of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2008, did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this statement on its  non-financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

 

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160.  “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-and Amendment of ARB No. 51.”  SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  This statement also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS 160 is not currently expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and

cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after  November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS. No. 161 on its financial statements.

 

NOTE 4 - 2007 PRIVATE PLACEMENT UNITS (“UNIT”):

 

The Company closed a private placement of 13,334 Units on September 7, 2007.  Each Unit was sold for $150 and consists of: one share of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock ($100 stated value), convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock; 500 shares of Common Stock; and 500 5-year warrants, each of which is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at $0.15 per share.  There was no beneficial conversion feature recorded as the Common Stock was selling for less than $0.10 per share at the time of the closing which approximates fair value.  Gross proceeds from the offering were $2,000,100, less approximately $38,000 of offering expenses, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1,962,000.

 

Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable semi-annually in cash or in kind at the discretion of the Board.

 

NOTE 5 - DIVIDENDS:

 

On May 8, 2008, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a five percent stock dividend on its outstanding Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock for the period commencing September 7, 2007.  Shareholders of record as of May 23, 2008 received the stock dividend for each share of Series A Preferred Stock owned on that date, payable May 30, 2008.  As of May 8, 2008, the Company had 13,818 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding; the total dividend paid consisted of  994 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a fair value of $99,400 and $1,491 cash in lieu of fractional shares.  Due to the absence of Retained Earnings, the cash and $994 par value of Preferred Stock dividend totaling $2,485 was charged against Additional Paid-in Capital.

 

NOTE 6 - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

 

The Company’s 2008 Stock Awards Plan (the “2008 Plan”) was approved at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders held on June 3, 2008.  The 2008 Plan became effective April 9, 2008 and will terminate on April 8, 2018.  Subject to certain adjustments, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2008 Plan is 2,000,000 shares.  A maximum of 80,000 shares may be granted in any one year in the form of any award to any one participant, of which a maximum of (i) 50,000 shares may be granted to a participant in the form of stock options and (ii) 30,000 shares may be granted to a participant in the form of Common Stock or restricted stock.  The 2008 Plan will be administered by a committee of the Board of Directors.  Employees, including any employee who is also a director or an officer, consultants and outside directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the 2008 Plan.   As of June 30, 2008 no options were issued under the 2008 Plan.

Item 2.        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The information in this report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  This Act provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves provided they identify these statements as forward looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results.  All statements other than statements of historical fact made in this report are forward looking.  In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain.  The Company’s actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations as a result of many factors.

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and notes thereto, included herewith.  This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future.  Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of management.  The Company assumes no obligations to update any of these forward-looking statements.

 

Results of Operations

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company had no operations and its only income was from interest income on its short-term investments which are classified as cash and cash equivalents. General and administrative expenses for the six-month and three-month periods ending June 30, 2008 were $87,233 and $53,636, respectively, compared to $14,297 and $6,597 for the comparable periods of 2007; the increases of $72,936 and $47,039 were primarily due to increased professional fees.  The Company had interest income of $19,975 and a net loss of $67,258 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, compared with interest income of $65 and a net loss of $15,724 during the comparable period of 2007.  The Company had interest income of $7,857 and a net loss of $45,779 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, compared with interest income of $25 and a net loss of $7,366 during the comparable period of 2007. The interest income increases were due to interest earned on cash balances invested in cash equivalents.

 

Commencing November 1, 2007, the Company’s Board agreed to pay the Company’s Chief Financial Officer an annual salary of $17,000.  No other officers or directors of the Company receive compensation other than reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Company business and development.

 

Due to the closing of a private placement of the Company’s securities in the third quarter 2007, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2008 was $1,904,341.  The proceeds from the 2007 private placement will assist management with its plans to secure a suitable merger partner wishing to go public or attempt to acquire private companies to create investment value for the Company.

Table of Contents

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At June 30, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,904,000.  Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and brokerage firms.  Working capital at June 30, 2008 was approximately $1,873,000.  Management believes that its cash and cash equivalents are sufficient for its business activities for at least the next 12 months and for the costs of seeking an acquisition of an operating business.

 

Net cash of approximately $54,500 and $11,700 were used in operations during the six-month period ending June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase of approximately $42,800 was primarily due to professional fees incurred.

 

No cash flows were used or provided by investing activities for each of the periods presented.

 

The Company recorded $1,490 of cash distributions as cash used by  financing activities during the second quarter of 2008; $9,500 of cash was provided by financing activities during the second quarter of 2007 from proceeds of convertible debt.

 

Factors Which May Affect Future Results

 

Future earnings of the Company are dependent on interest rates earned on the Company’s invested balances and expenses incurred.  The Company expects to incur significant expenses in connection with its objective of identifying a merger partner or acquiring an operating business.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
