With these new capacities coming on stream, the Group will be able to produce up to 4.00 million broilers per 60 days cycle. The planned increase is to meet the rising demand from existing chicken processing operation as well as from the Joint Venture Company with NH Foods Ltd for HALAL chicken meat as its raw material. The total capacity for the production of broilers is 4 million per day .

Currently, approximately twenty (20) percent of the total fresh table eggs produced by the Group are pasteurised into liquid egg and sold to local industrial users and export market such as Singapore, Brunei, Vietnam and South Korea . To meet rising demand especially from the Southern Region and Singapore, the Company through its fully owned subsidiary company Lay Hong Liquid Egg Sdn Bhd has acquired a newly built factory in Iskander Halal Park, Pasir Gudang, Johor, to set up its second egg processing facility. It is expected it to be fully commissioned in the forthcoming financial year ending 31st March, 2019.

For the retail supermaket sector - The Group currently operates seventeen 17 retail outlets. However , they are still having loss in this sector because of the minimum wage and previous 6% GST system . The write off of the sunk renovation cost of the non performing outlet closed during the year also contributed to the pre-tax loss .

Joint Venture with NH Foods Ltd , Japan - A joint venture company called NHF Manufacturing
(Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. has been incorporated in May 2016 and has since commenced operation. Lay Hong Bhd owned 49% or 14.70 million ordinary shares and is represented by two nominee directors. The other 51% is owned by the above. Construction of the manufacturing facility currently located in Selangor Halal Hub, Pulau Indah is in progress and is targeted to be fully operationally by the 4th quarter of the calendar year 2018.

Causes that make the price plunge :

1) There is a news where a flu virus currently spreading in Sabah Region in Tuaran . However , the Sabah Veterinary Services Department has announced it and state that it is under controlled .

2) Director selling warrants hard . Mr . Yap Hoong Chai has acquired 33 millions of warrants at a price of RM 0.50 , which is worth RM 16.5 mil in Jun . However , he then sold 16 millions of it at the price of RM 0.4 for RM 6.4 mil in late July . The transaction based on the two months has made him a loss of RM 8.5 mil .

But why did he keep on throwing his shares for no reason ? Will the price continue to drop just because he still has tons of shares to sell ? Or you should buy on the fundamental and the strong growth of this company ?
