(a) China
During the March quarter, sales decreased due to Chinese New Year holidays. Most logistics firms within China were closed for about two weeks which resulted in stock not being able to be delivered.
The major construction works at ANMA interrupted the supply of Neurio, Ione Milk and other inhouse brands. ANMA is now producing at its expanded capacity.
JAT's plant-based meat products have been successfully trials with restaurants in China and it is expected that commercial sales will commence in the June 2021 quarter.

under the brand “Poupin”, was approved by the Chinese licensing authority, CFDA, for sale in China through off-line channels. It is expected that the first sales of the Poupin product will commence in May 2021.
(b) ANMA
The major construction works at an ANMA’s manufacturing facility in Melbourne was carried out in March through to mid-April. During that time, the power and gas supply was disconnected to ensure the safe installation of the new machines and other equipment. This interruption resulted in a decrease of the production and sales of Neurio, Ione Milk, Moroka and other OEM products. Most of the major works have been completed and the factory is from mid-April operating at its expanded capacity.
JAT has installed a new management team at ANMA and the factory is now meeting the highest industry standards.
(c) JAT Brands
A new Head of Sales and Marketing has been appointed, based in Melbourne, to expand the sale of JAT’s own brands in Australia.
Business outlook
The ANMA factory is, since mid-April, operating at its expanded capacity to produce both in-house brands and OEM products.
JAT continues to expand market for in both the Australian and overseas markets with sales of inhouse brand products expected to expand into the Japan, Vietnam and Malaysia markets.
Sunnya is moving part of its production into China to reduce costs and risk for political uncertainty. In order to expand China market sales, Sunnya is in the discussion with potential contract manufacturer in China to produce some of Neurio products in China to reduce the production and logistics costs. Management will ensure the quality is in the control and products will reflect the true value of Neurio.
A new E-commence platform it is being established for to expand the JAT sales channels. JAT will establish a special platform to promote and sell its in-house brands as well as other selected products.
The Shanghai retail store fitout is complete. The store will commence trading as soon as final licensing arrangements are completed by the relevant Chinese authorities. The 50sqm store will be branded JAT Maternity & Infant Boutique and is located next to the Sinopharm pharmacy which is expected to drive significant consumer traffic to the JAT store. A primary purpose of opening the store is to establish JAT's image in the Chinese market, promote the Company's products and expand the influence of the Company's products in China. JAT intends to open further stores in Shanghai and other cities in China.
