ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

June 2021 Quarterly Report

Highlights

  • Major construction work at ANMA has largely been completed

  • Products the subject of the University of Sydney research project have been manufactured

  • Sales of Poupin skincare products commenced in China and Australia

  • V-meat products distributed to restaurants in China for final trial

  • JAT’s dairy products won major industry award

  • Local sales network continues to expand to major pharmacies

Health and wellness consumer goods developer and manufacturer Jatcorp Limited (ASX: JAT) is pleased to provide its quarterly report for the period ended 30 June 2021.

JAT Strategy

Throughout the quarter, JAT continued with its strategy of:

  1. Establishing its China-located business;

  2. Developing its own proprietary products;

  3. Expanding and improving its ANMA manufacturing facility;

  4. Reducing risk by manufacturing products outside Australia; and

  5. Expand sales destinations so as not to be wholly reliant on the China market.

Trading

  1. At the end of April 2021, a major upgrade to the ANMA manufacturing plant was completed. The upgrade has resulted in the factory now having the capacity to manufacture in excess of 1 million cans per month.

  2. On 17 May 2021, JAT announced the results of the research project by The University of Sydney in relation to five new supplementary food formulas. Manufacture of those formulas at the ANMA plant commenced during the quarter and the products will be released to the Australian market in August.

  3. JAT intends to obtain Therapeutic Goods Administration ( TGA ) registration for its ANMA factory and its supplementary food products, the subject of The University of Sydney study referred to above. To that end, JAT has engaged a consulting firm which specialises in preparing applications for TGA approval. The consulting firm has commenced the preparation of the application, including an inspection of the ANMA factory.

  4. Poupin, a skincare product developed by JAT's Hong Kong based joint venture, was approved by the relevant Chinese authorities in April 2021 and the sales campaign for

the product commenced in China in late June 2021. The first shipment of the Poupin product has arrived in Australia and is currently being introduced to local pharmacies.

  1. JAT's plant-based meat range has been introduced to Chinese restaurants in China for final testing. The first commercial sale is expected in the current quarter.

  2. Four of JAT's dairy products manufactured at the ANMA plant won 2 gold medals and 2 silver medals in the DIAA Excellence Awards 2021 awarded by the Dairy Industry Association of Australia.

Business outlook

Revenue for the 2021 was significantly lower than the 2020 year as a result of the combination of Covid-19 restrictions in Australia and China as well as obstacles to the movement of goods into China. JAT has adopted a number of strategies to deal with these issues and expect a significant increase in revenue for the 2022 year. The directors base their view that there will be an increase in revenue in 2022 as the strategies previously announced take effect as well as the following:

  • A strong order book is building at the ANMA factory as well as enquiries from potential new customers. Plans are underway to acquire new equipment to meet the demand and for the production of new products.

  • The opening of JAT’s Shanghai retail store has been delayed for almost two years due to lock downs in Shanghai and delays in regulatory approvals. The regulators have issued new documents and it is expected that, subject to any other unforeseen circumstances, the store should open in the September 2020 one quarter.

  • JAT has placed the first order for Babycare products (see announcement dated 19 July 2021). It is expected the first products will be distributed to Australian customers in August 2021.

  • New products developed by JAT have been welcomed by both local pharmacy chains and overseas distributors. The Company is confident the sale of those products will generate significant revenue.

Corporate

In June 2021, the company raised $6.195 million through the issue of over 344 million shares at an issue price of $0.18 per share. The funds were used in the repayment of loans, the development of JAT’s plant-based meat business, additional machinery for the ANMA manufacturing facility and the purchase of inventory.

Subsequent to the company’s general meeting on 7 June 2021, a total of 29,491,449 Collateral Shares were bought back for nil consideration and cancelled.

A total of $4.4 million in debt was repaid with the result that JAT’s interest expense will decrease significantly.

The amount included in section 6.1 of the Appendix 4C is the payment of fees to directors.
