PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

China Jo-Jo Drugstores, Inc. (the “Company”) is a retailer and distributor of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products typically found in a retail pharmacy in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). Prior to acquiring Zhejiang Jiuxin Medicine Co., Ltd. (“Jiuxin Medicine”) in August 2011 as described in “Our Corporate History and Structure – HJ Group” below, we were primarily a retail pharmacy operator. We currently have 64 store locations under four brands: 56 “Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy” stores, four “Jiuying Grand Pharmacy” stores and one “Quannuo Grand Pharmacy” store mostly in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, and two “Lydia Grand Pharmacy” store and one “Lydia Zhongxing Grand Pharmacy” store in Shanghai. Our stores provide customers with a wide variety of pharmaceutical products, including prescription and over-the-counter (“OTC”) drugs, nutritional supplements, traditional Chinese medicine (“TCM”), personal care products, family care products, medical devices, as well as convenience products including consumable, seasonal and promotional items. We briefly offered baijiu, or Chinese white liquor, at some of our pharmacies, from December 2010 to February 2011. Each store typically carries approximately 2,500 to 7,500 different products. In addition to these products, we have licensed doctors of both western medicine and TCM onsite for consultation, examination and treatment of common ailments at scheduled hours. Two of our stores have adjacent medical clinics offering urgent care (to provide treatment for minor ailments such as sprains, minor lacerations and dizziness which can be treated on an outpatient basis), TCM (including acupuncture, therapeutic massage and cupping) and minor outpatient surgical treatments (such as suturing). Our store locations vary in size; however, our 64 stores presently average approximately 250 square meters. We attempt to tailor our product offerings, physician access and operating hours based on the community where each individual store is located.

All of our retail pharmacy business (including the medical clinics) is carried out by companies in China that either we control through contractual arrangement or are our wholly-owned subsidiaries:

●	Hangzhou Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy Chain Co., Ltd. (“Jiuzhou Pharmacy”), which we control contractually, operates our “Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy” stores;
●	Zhejiang Jiuying Grand Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (“Jiuying Pharmacy”), 49% of which we own and the remaining 51% we control contractually, operates our “Jiuying Grand Pharmacy” stores and will operate such additional “Jiuying Grand Pharmacy” locations that we may open throughout Zhejiang Province;
●	Shanghai Lydia Grand Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Lydia”), which is wholly-owned by Jiuzhou Pharmacy, operates our “Lydia Grand Pharmacy” store and will operate such additional “Lydia Grand Pharmacy” locations that we may open in Shanghai;
●	Shanghai Lydia Zhongxing Grand Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Zhongxing”), which is 99% owned by Shanghai Lydia, operates our “Lydia Zhongxing Grand Pharmacy” store in Shanghai;
●	Hangzhou Quannuo Grand Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Quannuo”), which operates the “Quannuo Grand Pharmacy” store, is a wholly-owned subsidiary;
●	Hangzhou Jiuzhou Clinic of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine (General Partnership) (“Jiuzhou Clinic”), which we control contractually, operates one of our two medical clinics; and
●	Hangzhou Jiuzhou Medical & Public Health Service Co., Ltd. (“Jiuzhou Service”), which we also control contractually, operates our other medical clinic.

In April 2010, we were granted an Internet Pharmaceutical Transaction Service Qualification Certificate by the State Food and Drug Administration of Zhejiang Province, which allows us to engage in online retail pharmaceutical sales throughout China. Since May 2010, we have also been operating an online drugstore (www.dada360.com) that currently sells non-prescription OTC drugs and nutritional supplements. In July 2010, we established Zhejiang Shouantang Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shouantang Technology”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary to carry out such business, and acquired Zhejiang Quannuo Internet Technology Co., Ltd. (“Quannuo Technology”) in November 2010 to operate the website and provide software and technical support. We have established payment methods with banks and online intermediaries such as Alipay for our online drugstore. As a part of our acquisition of Quannuo Technology, we also acquired its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hangzhou Quannuo, which operates the “Quannuo Grand Pharmacy” store.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, our retail business, which includes our pharmacies, medical clinics and online drugstore, accounted for approximately 70.0% of our total revenue.

In addition to our retail business, we operate a wholesale business distributing TCM herbs that we are cultivating and third-party pharmaceutical products (similar to those we carry in our own pharmacies) primarily to trading companies throughout China. We currently operate the wholesale business through four companies:

●	Jiuxin Medicine, a wholesale drug distributor licensed to distribute prescription and non-prescription pharmaceutical products throughout China, that was acquired by Jiuzhou Pharmacy in August 2011;

●	Hangzhou Qianhong Agriculture Development Co., Ltd. (“Qianhong Agriculture”), a wholly-owned subsidiary that operates our cultivation project of TCM herbs;

●	Hangzhou Jiutong Medical Technology Co., Ltd. (“Jiutong Medical”), a wholly-owned subsidiary through which we plan to process TCM herbs, mainly those cultivated by Qianhong Agriculture; and

●	Tonglu Lydia Agriculture Development Co., Ltd. (“Tonglu Lydia”), a wholly-owned subsidiary that we intend to operate a cultivation project similar to that of Qianhong Agriculture.

Although our wholesale operations are fairly new to us (Jiuxin Medicine began its wholesale distribution in August 2011, and distribution of TCM herbs that we are cultivating began in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012), our wholesale business accounted for approximately 30.0% of our total revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, primarily from Jiuxin Medicine.

Throughout this report, we will sometimes refer to Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service, as well as the subsidiaries of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, collectively as “HJ Group.”

Our Corporate History and Structure

We were incorporated in Nevada on December 19, 2006, under the name “Kerrisdale Mining Corporation,” with a principal business objective to acquire and develop mineral properties. Although we had acquired certain mining claims, we were not operational.

On July 14, 2008, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our authorized capital stock from 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001. The preferred stock is “blank check,” with the right to set its designations, preferences, limitations, privileges, qualifications, dividend, conversion, voting, and other special or relative rights, conferred on our board of directors.

On September 17, 2009, we acquired control of Renovation Investment (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (“Renovation”) pursuant to a share exchange agreement. We control Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service through contractual arrangements between each of these companies and Renovation’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Zhejiang Jiuxin Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“Jiuxin Management”).

On September 24, 2009, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from “Kerrisdale Mining Corporation” to “China Jo-Jo Drugstores, Inc.”

On April 9, 2010, we affected a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and a proportional reduction of our authorized shares of common stock, by filing a Certificate of Change Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.209 with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 6, 2010. All share information in this report takes into account this reverse stock split.

On April 28, 2010, we completed a registered public offering of 3.5 million shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to us, prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, of approximately $17.5 million.

Renovation

Renovation is a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong on September 2, 2008. Renovation was formed by the owners of HJ Group as a special purpose vehicle for purposes of raising capital, in accordance with requirements of the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”). Specifically, SAFE issued the Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for PRC Residents to Engage in Financing and Inbound Investment via Overseas Special Purpose Vehicles (“Circular No. 75,”) on October 21, 2005. To further clarify the implementation of Circular 75, on May 31, 2007, SAFE issued an official notice known as Hi Zhong Fa [2007] No. 106 (“Circular 106”). The Circular 75 and the supplementing Circular 106 require the owners of any Chinese company to obtain SAFE’s approval before establishing any offshore holding company structure for foreign financing as well as subsequent acquisition matters in China. Accordingly, the owners of HJ Group who are our three cofounders, namely Lei Liu, Li Qi and Chong’an Jin, submitted their applications to SAFE on July 25, 2008. On August 16, 2008, SAFE approved the application, permitting these Chinese nationals to establish Renovation as an offshore, special purpose vehicle which may have foreign ownership and participate in foreign capital raising activities. After SAFE’s approval, Mr. Liu, Ms. Qi and Dr. Jin became holders of 100% of Renovation’s issued and outstanding capital stock on September 2, 2008. See “Relevant PRC Regulations – SAFE Registration” below.

Jiuxin Management

Jiuxin Management was organized in the PRC on October 14, 2008. Because all of its issued and outstanding capital stock is held by Renovation, a Hong Kong company, Jiuxin Management is deemed a “wholly foreign owned enterprise” (“WFOE”) under PRC laws.

Jiutong Medical

Jiutong Medical was established on December 20, 2011. Like Jiuxin Management, Jiutong Medical is deemed a WFOE because it is wholly owned by Renovation. We intend for Jiutong Medical to process TCM herbs, mainly cultivated by Qianhong Agriculture. However, Jiutong Medical has not yet commenced operation as of the date of this report.

HJ Group

Jiuzhou Pharmacy is a PRC limited liability company established on September 9, 2003 by our three cofounders: Lei Liu (55%), Chong’an Jin (23%) and Li Qi (22%). Jiuzhou Pharmacy operates a chain of pharmacies primarily in Hangzhou that is presently comprised of 56 “Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy” stores.

Jiuzhou Pharmacy currently has three subsidiaries:

·	Shanghai Lydia was established on January 17, 2011 in order to operate drugstores in Shanghai.

Jiuxin Medicine was established on December 31, 2003. On April 15, 2011, Jiuzhou Pharmacy entered into an equity ownership transfer agreement with the owners of Jiuxin Medicine. In April 2011, the business license of Jiuxin Medicine was transferred to Jiuzhou Pharmacy, although no consideration was paid. On August 25, 2011, the acquisition of Jiuxin Medicine was completed for total consideration of RMB 30 million.

Shanghai Zhongxing was established on June 19, 2006, originally under the name Shanghai Bieyanghong Zhongxing Grand Pharmacy Co. Ltd. (“Bieyanghong Zhongxing”). On July 29, 2011, Shanghai Lydia acquired 99% of Bieyanghong Zhongxing for total consideration of RMB 495,000. Bieyanghong Zhongxing subsequently changed its name to Shanghai Zhongxing.

Jiuzhou Pharmacy had another subsidiary, namely Hangzhou Kuaileren Grand Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (“Kuaileren”), which was formally dissolved on April 9, 2011. Kuaileren was established on May 9, 2006, with registered capital of RMB 100,000. Kuaileren’s then sole owner transferred all of his ownership interest to our three cofounders for no consideration on June 30, 2009, who in turn transferred the ownership interest to Jiuzhou Pharmacy for no consideration on August 28, 2009. Prior to its dissolution, Kuaileren operated a “Kuaileren Grand Pharmacy” store, which now operates as a “Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy” store.

Jiuzhou Clinic is a PRC general partnership established on October 10, 2003 by our three cofounders: Lei Liu (39%), Li Qi (30%) and Chong’an Jin (31%). Jiuzhou Clinic is a medical practice currently operating adjacent to Jiuzhou Pharmacy’s Daguan store, providing primary, urgent, minor surgical and traditional medical care services. Additionally, Jiuzhou Clinic’s physicians consult with, and examine, patients at other Jiuzhou Pharmacy stores.

Jiuzhou Service is a PRC limited liability company established on November 2, 2005 by our three cofounders: Lei Liu (39%), Li Qi (30%) and Chong’an Jin (31%). Jiuzhou Service is licensed as a healthcare management company and currently manages the medical clinic operating adjacent to Jiuzhou Pharmacy’s Wenhua store that provides services similar to those provided by Jiuzhou Clinic.

Shouantang Technology

Shouantang Technology is a PRC limited liability company established on July 16, 2010. Shouantang Technology, like Jiuxin Management, is wholly owned by Renovation, and as such, it is deemed a WFOE under PRC laws. Shouantang Technology is an investment company that finances its operating subsidiary Quannuo Technology. Other than activities relating to investing and financing the working capital of Quannuo Technology, Shouantang has no separate operations of its own.

In November 2010, Shouantang Technology acquired 100% of Quannuo Technology and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hangzhou Quannuo, pursuant to an equity ownership transfer agreement. Quannuo Technology is a PRC limited liability company established on July 7, 2009. Quannuo Technology operates and maintains the website for our online drugstore and provides software and technical support. Hangzhou Quannuo is a PRC limited liability company established on July 8, 2010. Hangzhou Quannuo operates our “Quannuo Grand Pharmacy” store.

On June 24, 2011, Shouantang Technology established Tonglu Lydia as a wholly-owned subsidiary, to undertake herbal cultivation similar to that by Qianhong Agriculture. As of the date of this report, however, Tonglu Lydia has had no operation as it has not been able to locate and lease suitable land for cultivation.

Qianhong Agriculture

Qianhong Agriculture is a PRC limited liability company established on August 10, 2010. Qianhong Agriculture operates our cultivation project of TCM herbs. The project is being carried out on approximately 53 acres of leased land in Lin’an, in northwestern Zhejiang Province approximately 30 miles from Hangzhou. We entered a 30-year lease in February 2010, and currently, more than ten plant varieties, including fructus rubi (used in TCM to promote blood circulation), white atractylodes rhizome (used in TCM to treat physical and mental fatigue), atractylodes macrocephala (used in TCM to control sweating) and ginkgo seeds (used in TCM to treat asthma), have been planted on approximately 48 acres. We have been harvesting the herbs since December 2011, and began distributing them in bulk to third-party vendors in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

Jiuying Pharmacy

Jiuying Pharmacy is a PRC limited liability company established on February 27, 2012. We own 49% of its outstanding equity interests through Jiuxin Management (10%) and Shouantang Technology (39%), the maximum amount of equity interests that we as a non-PRC national can hold in a retail pharmacy business under applicable PRC laws. See “Relevant PRC Regulations – Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Wholesale or Retail Pharmaceutical Business in China” below.

The remaining 51% are held by our three cofounders: Lei Liu (19.89%), Li Qi (15.3%) and Chong’an Jin (15.81%). On May 15, 2012, Jiuxin Management acquired control of the cofounders’ 51% through a series of contractual arrangements with Jiuying Pharmacy and the three cofounders. Other than the date in which they were entered into, such contractual arrangements are identical to the contractual arrangements that Jiuxin Management entered into with HJ Group and our three cofounders. See “Contractual Arrangements with HJ Group and our Three Cofounders” below. Thus, as with HJ Group, we control 100% of Jiuying Pharmacy’s business operations.

Jiuying Pharmacy currently operates four “Jiuying Grand Pharmacy” stores in Hangzhou. It is our intention to eventually shift a majority of the stores under Jiuzhou Pharmacy to Jiuying Pharmacy, although the timing of such has not yet been established.

Contractual Arrangements with HJ Group and our Three Cofounders

Our relationships with HJ Group and our three cofounders are governed by a series of contractual arrangements that they have entered into with Jiuxin Management.

PRC regulations on foreign investment currently permit foreign companies to establish or invest in WFOEs or joint ventures that engage in wholesale or retail sales of pharmaceuticals in China. For retail sales, however, these regulations restrict the number and size of retail pharmacy stores that a foreign investor may establish. If a foreign investor owns more than 30 stores that sell a variety of branded pharmaceutical products sourced from different suppliers, such foreign investor’s ownership interests in the stores are limited to 49.0%. The contractual arrangements with Jiuzhou Pharmacy enable us to bypass such restrictions, since neither we nor our subsidiaries own equity interests in Jiuzhou Pharmacy, while at the same time we retain control of the drugstore chain by virtue of the contractual arrangements.

Similarly, PRC regulations place certain restrictions on foreign ownership of medical practice. Foreign investors can acquire ownership interests through a Sino-foreign joint venture only and cannot do so through a WFOE. Since we do not have actual equity interest in Jiuzhou Clinic or Jiuzhou Service, but control these entities through contractual arrangements, the PRC regulations restricting foreign ownership of medical practice are not applicable to us or our structure.

Under PRC laws, Jiuxin Management, Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic are each an independent business entity not exposed to the liabilities incurred by any of the other three entities. The contractual arrangements constitute valid and binding obligations of the parties of such agreements. Each of the contractual arrangements and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto are enforceable and valid in accordance with the laws of the PRC. These contractual arrangements, as amended and in effect, include the following:

Consulting Services Agreement. Pursuant to the exclusive consulting services agreement, Jiuxin Management has the exclusive right to provide to Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic with general business operation services, including advice and strategic planning, as well as consulting services related to their current and future operations (the “Services”). Additionally, Jiuxin Management owns the intellectual property rights developed or discovered through research and development, in the course of providing the Services, or derived from the provision of the Services. Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic each pays a quarterly consulting service fees in RMB to Jiuxin Management that is equal to its profits for such quarter. This agreement is in effect unless and until terminated by written notice of a party to the agreement in the event that: (a) a party becomes bankrupt, insolvent, is the subject of proceedings or arrangements for liquidation or dissolution, ceases to carry on business, or becomes unable to pay its debts as they become due; (b) Jiuxin Management terminates its operations; or (c) circumstances arise which would materially and adversely affect the performance or the objectives of the agreement. Jiuxin Management may also terminate the agreement with Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical or Jiuzhou Clinic if one of them breaches the terms of the agreement, or without cause.

Operating Agreement. Pursuant to the operating agreement, Jiuxin Management agrees to guarantee the contractual performance by Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic of their agreements with any third party. In return, our three cofounders (the “Owners”) must appoint designees of Jiuxin Management to the boards of directors and senior management of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic. In addition, Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic each agrees to pledge its accounts receivable and all of its assets to Jiuxin Management. Moreover, Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic agree that without the prior consent of Jiuxin Management, they will not engage in any transactions that could materially affect their respective assets, liabilities, rights or operations, including, without limitation, incurrence or assumption of any indebtedness, sale or purchase of any assets or rights, incurrence of any encumbrance on any of their assets or intellectual property rights in favor of a third party or transfer of any agreements relating to their business operation to any third party. Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic further agree to abide by corporate policies set by Jiuxin Management with respect to their daily operations, financial management and employment issues. The term of this agreement is from August 1, 2009 until the maximum period of time permitted by law. On the other hand, Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic cannot terminate this agreement.

Equity Pledge Agreement. Pursuant to the equity pledge agreement, the Owners have pledged all of their equity interests in Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic to Jiuxin Management in order to guarantee the performance by Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic of their respective obligations under the consulting services agreement. If Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical, Jiuzhou Clinic or the Owners breaches their respective contractual obligations, Jiuxin Management, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interests. The Owners have also agreed that upon occurrence of any event of default, Jiuxin Management shall be granted an exclusive, irrevocable power of attorney to take actions in the place and stead of the Owners to carry out the security provisions of this agreement and take any action and execute any instrument that Jiuxin Management may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this agreement. The Owners agree not to dispose of the pledged equity interests or take any actions that would prejudice Jiuxin Management’s interests. This agreement will expire two (2) years after the obligations of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic under the consulting services agreements have been fulfilled.

Option Agreement. Pursuant to the option agreement, the Owners irrevocably grant Jiuxin Management or its designee an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of their equity interests in Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic for the cost of the initial contributions to the registered capital or the minimum amount of consideration permitted by applicable PRC law. Jiuxin Management or its designee has sole discretion to decide when to exercise the option, whether in part or in full. The term of this agreement is from August 1, 2009 until the maximum period of time permitted by law.

Proxy Agreement. Pursuant to the proxy agreement, the Owners irrevocably grant a Jiuxin Management designee with the right to exercise their voting and other ownership rights in Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic, including the rights to attend any meeting of the Owners (or participate by written consent in lieu of such meeting) in accordance with applicable laws and each company’s incorporating documents, as well as the rights to sell or transfer all or any of the Owners’ equity interests in Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic, and to appoint and vote for their directors. The proxy agreement may be terminated by mutual consent of the parties or upon 30-day written notice from Jiuxin Management.

Other than pursuant to the forgoing contractual arrangements, Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic cannot transfer any funds generated from their respective operations. The contractual arrangements were originally entered into on August 1, 2009, and amended on October 27, 2009.

All pharmaceutical products in the PRC (both prescription and OTC) are subject to price controls, with a recommended price and a price ceiling for each drug that are periodically adjusted by the relevant government authorities in an effort to make healthcare more widely available. See “Relevant PRC Regulations – Price Control” below. One such adjustment occurred in March 2011 and affected 852 different prescription pharmaceutical products. Several price adjustments occurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, and affected 2,824 different pharmaceutical products including TCM. The March 2011 adjustment required us to make 166 downward price adjustments, and during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we made a total of 326 downward price adjustments. As a result of these price adjustments, our revenue from the sales of these products decreased. Retail sales of prescription drugs accounted for approximately 43.0% of our retail revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

OTC Drugs. We offer approximately 1,360 OTC drugs, including western medicines and TCM, for the treatment of common diseases. Retail sales of OTC drugs accounted for approximately 29.5% of our retail revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Nutritional Supplements. We offer approximately 608 nutritional supplements, including a variety of healthcare supplements, vitamin, mineral and dietary products. Retail sales of nutritional supplements accounted for approximately 10.7% of our retail revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

TCM Products. Each of our stores maintains a TCM counter, staffed by licensed herbalists who put together packages of herbs in a process similar to how our in-store pharmacists fill out prescriptions. Additionally, we offer various types of drinkable herbal remedies and pre-packaged herbal mixtures for making soup, which are used by consumers as health supplements. TCM products typically have higher margins than prescription and OTC drugs. Retail sales of TCM products accounted for approximately 13.2% of our retail revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. We currently do not sell any TCM herbs cultivated by Qianhong Agriculture at our pharmacies.

Sundry Products. Our sundry products include personal care products such as skin care, hair care and beauty products, convenience products such as soft drinks, packaged snacks, and other consumable, cleaning agents, stationeries, and seasonal and promotional items tailored to local consumer demand for convenience and quality. We believe offering these products increases customer visits by increasing the shopping convenience for our customers. Retail sales of sundry products accounted for approximately 1.6% of our retail revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Medical Devices. Our medical device offerings include family planning and birth control products, early pregnancy test products, portable electronic diagnostic apparatus, rehabilitation equipment, and surgical tools such as hemostats, needle forceps and surgical scissors. Retail sales of medical devices accounted for approximately 2.0% of our retail revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

We also offer non-prescription OTC drugs and nutritional supplements on our online drugstore. Our online sales accounted for approximately 1.7% of our retail revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

We obtained retail licenses to sell alcohol at 40 of our retail pharmacies, and briefly sold Wu Liang Ye and Maotai, both well-known brands of baijiu, or Chinese white liquor, from December 2010 to February 2011. Sales of liquor accounted for approximately 5.0% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. Substantially all liquor sales were made to a single customer. We did not sell any liquor during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and currently has no plans to do so in the immediate future.

Wholesale Products

Our wholesale business distributes the same product categories as those of our retail business:

Prescription Drugs. We offer approximately 4,066 prescription drugs. Wholesales of prescription drugs, through Jiuxin Medicine, accounted for approximately 50.4% of our wholesale revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

OTC Drugs. We offer approximately 2,523 OTC drugs. Wholesales of OTC drugs, through Jiuxin Medicine, accounted for approximately 20.9% of our wholesale revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Nutritional Supplements. We offer approximately 2,054 nutritional supplements. Wholesales of nutritional supplements, through Jiuxin Medicine, accounted for approximately 10.9% of our wholesale revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

TCM Products. We offer TCM products that Jiuxin Medicine purchases from third-party vendors. We also distribute the TCM herbs that are being cultivated by Qianhong Agriculture to third-party vendors. Wholesales of third-party TCM products and our TCM herbs collectively accounted for approximately 17.4% of our wholesale revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Sundry Products. Wholesales of sundry products, through Jiuxin Medicine, accounted for approximately 0.1% of our wholesale revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Medical Devices. Wholesales of medical devices, through Jiuxin Medicine, accounted for approximately 0.2% of our wholesale revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Our Customers

Retail Customers

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, our stores collectively served an average of approximately 10,000 customers per day. We periodically conduct qualitative customer surveys, helping us to build a stronger understanding of our market position and our customers’ purchasing habits.

Our customers pay by cash, debit or credit cards, or medical insurance cards under municipal and provincial medical insurance programs. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, approximately 67.0% of our revenue came from cash sales, 28.6% from Hangzhou’s medical insurance cards and 4.4% come from debit, credit, provincial medical insurance and other charge card sources. We obtain payments from the relevant government social security bureaus, for sales made to eligible participants in the national medical insurance program on a monthly basis. See “Relevant PRC Regulations — Reimbursement under the National Medical Insurance Program.” According to relevant regulations, a drugstore must operate for at least one year before becoming eligible to apply to be licensed to accept Hangzhou’s medical insurance cards. As of the date of this report, 40 of our stores in Hangzhou are licensed to accept medical insurance cards while two are awaiting approval. We plan to apply for such license for our remaining stores in Hangzhou when they become eligible. Our stores accepting medical insurance cards are designated as such on their outer signage. Our Shanghai stores currently do not accept medical insurance cards.

Wholesale Customers

Through Jiuxin Medicine, we currently sell our products primarily to third-party trading companies throughout China that resell our products to their local pharmacies. Our goal, however, is build our wholesale business to a scale that will qualify Jiuxin Medicine to sell directly to hospital-affiliated pharmacies, which we estimate to represent over 80% of the pharmacies in China. To that end, we have expended considerable efforts to ramp up our wholesale business in a relatively short period of time (since acquiring Jiuxin Medicine in August 2011). Jiuxin Medicine’s largest wholesale customer, Beijing Xinxing Huakang Medicine Center, accounted for approximately 13.4% of our wholesale revenue, but less than 10% of our total revenue, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. This customer is not related to or affiliated with to us.

In addition, since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we have been selling the TCM herbs that we are cultivating through Qianhong Agriculture to third-party trading companies throughout China. No such customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue for fiscal 2012.

Our Drugstores

Prior to opening a store, we carefully evaluate sites to maximize consumer traffic, store visibility and convenience for our customers. All of our stores are located in well-established residential communities and prime retail locations where consumer purchasing power is relatively concentrated. Depending on its size, each drugstore has between two to twelve pharmacists on staff, all of whom are properly licensed. We currently operate a chain of 64 drugstores under four brands: Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy (53 stores in Hangzhou and three in Jiangshan, about 250 kilometers southwest of Hangzhou), Quannuo Grand Pharmacy (one store in Hangzhou), Jiuying Grand Pharmacy (four stores in Hangzhou), Lydia Grand Pharmacy (two stores in Shanghai) and Shanghai Zhongxing Pharmacy (one store in Shanghai).

After opening, a location may take up to 120 days to achieve our projected revenue goals for that particular location. Various factors influence individual store revenue including, but not limited to: location, nearby competition, local population demographics, and square footage. To date, we have not closed or targeted for closure any store due to underperformance.

Employees

As of March 31, 2012, we had 806 employees combined in our retail and wholesale operations, including 782 fulltime and 24 part-time employees. The following table sets forth the number of our employees for each area of operations and as a percentage of our total workforce as of March 31, 2012:

	As of March 31, 2012
	Employees		Percentage

Non-pharmacist store staff		446		55.3	%
Pharmacists		198		24.6	%
Management- non-pharmacists		59		7.3	%
Physicians		48		6.0	%
Non-physician clinic staff		6		0.7	%
Wholesale staff – non-warehouse		25		3.1	%
Wholesale staff – warehouse		24		3.0	%
Total		806		100	%

We place strong emphasis on the quality of our employees at all levels, including in-store pharmacists and store staff who directly interact with our customers. We provide extensive training for newly recruited employees in the first three months of their employment. The training is designed to encompass a number of areas, such as knowledge about our products and how best to interact with our customers. In addition, we regularly carry out training programs on medicine information, nutritional information, selling skills for our store staff and in-store pharmacists. We believe these programs have played an important role in strengthening the capabilities of our employees.

In addition to our employees, there are 21 sales personnel provided to our drugstores by various manufacturers, which pay us a fee for their presence in our stores. These manufacturers also compensate us to train these salespersons in our stores’ policies and procedures.

Marketing and Promotion for Our Pharmacies

Our marketing and promotion strategy is to build brand recognition, increase customer traffic to our stores, attract new customers, build strong customer loyalty, maximize repeat customer visits and develop incremental revenue opportunities.

Our marketing department designs our chain-wide marketing efforts while each store designs local promotions based on local demographics and market conditions. We also launch single store promotional campaigns and community activities in connection with the openings of new stores. Our store managers and staff are also encouraged to propose their own advertising and promotion plans, including holiday promotions, posters and billboards. In addition, we offer special discounts and gift promotions for selected merchandise periodically in conjunction with our suppliers’ marketing programs. We also provide ancillary services such as providing free blood pressure measurements in our stores.

Many of our promotion programs are designed to encourage manufacturers to invest resources to market their brands within our stores. We charge manufacturers promotional fees in exchange for granting them the right to promote and display their products in our stores during promotional periods. We also allow manufacturers and distributors to station salespeople at our drugstore locations to promote their products, for which we receive a fee. We believe that manufacturer promotions improve our customers’ shopping experience because manufacturers provide purchasing incentives and information to help customers to make informed purchase decisions. We work to maintain strong inventory positions for merchandise featured in our promotions, as we believe this increases the effectiveness of our spending on promotion activities.

As part of our marketing campaign, we offer rewards card to customers at our Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy, Lydia Grand Pharmacy and Jiuying Grand Pharmacy locations. Certain discount pricing is only available to our customers with the rewards card. After a customer signs up for the rewards card, we communicate via the customer’s preferred method: e-mail, traditional mail or text messages. Approximately 50% of our customers use the rewards card when making purchases. We intend to further extend this program to enhance customer experience and for customer retention.

We run advertisements periodically in selected newspapers to promote our brands and the products carried in our stores. Under our agreements with certain newspapers, we run one-page weekly or monthly advertisements in these newspapers, and the newspapers publish healthcare-related feature articles relating to the products we advertise near the dates of our advertisements. We also promote our brands and products using billboards and radio and television commercials. Advertising expenses are borne either by the manufacturers of the products being advertised or us, or are shared, depending on our agreement with the particular manufacturer. Our advertisements are designed to promote our brands, our corporate image and the prices of products available for sale in our stores.

Distribution Methods of Our Products or Services

Through March 2011, we outsourced all operations of a distribution center, including inventory, delivery and distribution, to Zhejiang Yingte Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Yingte Logistics”). We terminated our agreement with Yingte Logistics in April 2011.

Since May 2011, we have been using Jiuxin Medicine’s facility as the central distribution center for our pharmacies. The 8,000 square meters facility, located in Hangzhou approximately 7 miles from our headquarters, includes a climate-control storage area suitable to store goods at various temperatures. Jiuxin Medicine previously outsourced distribution to Yingte Logistics under a one-year Logistics Service Agreement that expired March 31, 2012, and currently uses its own vehicles and staff to deliver products to our pharmacies in and around Hangzhou.

Jiuxin Medicine’s facility and resources are also used for our wholesale business. Wholesale distribution inside Hangzhou is made with Jiuxin Medicine’s vehicles and staff. Third-party logistics companies are employed for distribution outside of Hangzhou.

Suppliers

We currently source the products for our pharmacies from approximately 277 suppliers, including 206 trading companies and 71 direct manufacturers. All of these suppliers also supply Jiuxin Medicine for our wholesale business. Jiuxin Medicine works with approximately 409 suppliers, including 242 trading companies and 167 direct manufacturers.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, two suppliers, Zhejiang Yingte Medicine Ltd. and Hebei Hengxiang Medicine Group Ltd., each accounted for 10% or more of our total purchases and total purchase deposits, and collectively accounted for 26% of our total purchases and 20% of our total purchase deposits. Neither of these suppliers are related to or affiliated with us.

We believe that competitive sources are readily available for substantially all of the merchandise we require for both our retail and wholesale businesses. As such, we believe that we can change suppliers without a material interruption to our business. To date, we have not experienced any significant difficulty in sourcing our requirements. We believe that as we grow in size, our greater sourcing capability will also make us a more attractive distribution channel for many drug manufacturers who can reduce their marketing expense while increasing their sales volume by selling directly to us, thereby reducing our cost of purchase.

Cash Control for Our Retail Business

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, approximately 67.0% of sales at our pharmacies were made in cash. We maintain strict cash control procedures at all of our stores. Specifically, the details of each sales event are recorded in our integrated information management system, and the cash generated at our stores is collected and deposited frequently in designated bank accounts, which are controlled by our headquarters. Depending on each store’s sales activities, cash will be either deposited daily or several times per week.

Quality Control

We place strong emphasis on quality control for both merchandise sourcing and in-store services. Our quality control starts with procurement. We select products based on the manufacturers and wholesalers’ GMP and GSP compliance status and their product quality, manufacturing facilities and technology, packaging, transportation and storage capabilities as well as market acceptance and cost competitiveness of the products. Additionally, we conduct random quality inspections of each batch of products we procure. We replace our suppliers if they fail to pass our quality inspections.

We also enforce strict quality control measures at our distribution center. All products are screened when they initially arrive at Jiuxin Medicine’s facility, with those evidencing defects or damages immediately rejected. Products that pass the screening process are recorded and stored strictly according to each manufacturer’s temperature and other requirements. Products (for both our pharmacies and wholesale customers) are verified against the appropriate delivery orders prior to leaving the facility. Jiuxin Medicine uses vehicles with cold-temperature storage as necessary.

All of our pharmacy employees participate in a mandatory 36-hour training program regarding quality control annually, and we regularly dispatch quality inspectors to our stores to monitor the service quality of our staff.

Competition

The drugstore industry in China is intensely competitive, rapidly evolving and highly fragmented. Our pharmacies primarily compete with other retail drugstore chains or drugstores, but also increasingly face competition from discount stores, convenience stores and supermarkets as we increase our offering of non-drug convenience products and services. We compete for customers primarily on the basis of store location, merchandise selection, prices, the unique combination of pharmacy and medical care services that we offer and brand name recognition. We believe that continued consolidation of the drugstore industry and new store openings by chain store operators will further increase competitive pressures.

We believe the primary competitive factors include: (i) the ability to negotiate favorable discounts from drug manufacturers; (ii) responsiveness to customers’ needs; (iii) the ability to identify and apply effective cost management programs utilizing clinical strategies; (iv) the commitment to provide flexible, clinically-oriented services to customers; and (v) the quality, scope and costs of products and services offered to our customers. We compete with a number of large, national drugstore chains that may have more financial resources and stronger brand strength and management expertise than us, including China Nepstar Chain Drugstore Ltd. (“Nepstar”), LBX Pharmacy (“LBX”) and Tian Tian Hao Grand Pharmacy (“Tian Tian”). As of March 31, 2012, Nepstar operated approximately 165 stores, Tian Tian operated approximately 95 stores and LBX Pharmacy operated approximately 22 stores in Hangzhou. We additionally compete with local and independent drugstores and government-operated pharmacies. On average, the square footage of Tian Tian and Nepstar stores are significantly smaller than our average store size and do not have the breadth of product offerings or categories. Moreover, none of our competitors provide the medical consultations that we offer at our drugstores.

The wholesale pharmaceutical distribution industry in China is likewise competitive and highly fragmented. We are a new entrant into the industry (since acquiring Jiuxin Medicine in August 2011), and our goal is to scale our wholesale business rapidly in order to qualify Jiuxin Medicine to distribute directly to hospital-affiliated pharmacies. To that end, we are competing primarily on price and our service to build up our wholesale customer base. We compete with regional wholesale distributors, such as Zhengchen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou Xiaoran Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., as well as national operators such as Fengwoda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Jiuzhoutong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. These competitors have substantially greater logistics and warehousing capacities and more financial resources, as well as more industry-relevant experience, than us.

Intellectual Property

We currently have the following trademarks registered with the Trademark Office of The State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the PRC (“SAIC”):

·	“Jiuzhou Tongxin,” a Classes 5 and 35 trademark (for pharmaceuticals and advertisement) issued on February 14, 2011 and registered under Jiuzhou Pharmacy, that we plan to use to brand certain products that we may sell in our stores;

·	“Jiuzhou,” a Class 44 trademark (for medical service) issued in June 2012 and registered under Jiuzhou Pharmacy, that we plan to use to brand our medical service;

·	“Lydia,” a Classes 5, 10, 30, 35 and 44 trademark (for pharmaceuticals, construction, food, advertisement and medical service) issued on October 2011 and registered under Jiuzhou Pharmacy, that we plan to use to brand certain products that we may sell in our stores in Shanghai; and

·	“Shouantang,” a Classes 5, 10, 30, 35 and 44 trademark (for pharmaceuticals, construction, food, advertisement and medical service) issued on October 2011 and registered under Jiuzhou Pharmacy, that we plan to use to brand certain products that we may sell in our stores.

We have also applied to register one trademark under Jiuzhou Service, and expect it to be registered sometime in late 2012 or 2013. We own and operate the following websites: www.dada360.com (our online drugstore), www.jiuzhou-drugstore.com (our corporate website used in China), and www.chinajojodrugstores.com (our English-language corporate website). We also own two inactive domain names. We do not own any patents, nor do we have any pending patent applications, and we are not a beneficiary of any licenses, franchises, concessions or royalty agreements.

All our employees are required to enter into written employment agreements with us, pursuant to which they are subject to confidentiality obligations.

Relevant PRC Regulations

SAFE Registration

In October 2005, China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) issued the Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for PRC Residents Engaging in Financing and Roundtrip Investments via Overseas Special Purpose Vehicles (“Circular 75”). Circular 75 regulates foreign exchange matters in relation to the use of a “special purpose vehicle” (“SPV”) by PRC residents to seek offshore equity financing and conduct “round trip investment” in China. Our three cofounders, who are PRC residents, are in compliance with the Circular 75 and its implementing circulars.

Dividend Distribution

Under current applicable laws and regulations, each of our consolidated PRC entities, including wholly foreign owned enterprises, or WFOEs, and domestic companies in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our consolidated PRC entities, including WFOEs and domestic companies, is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its statutory surplus reserve fund until the accumulative amount of such reserve reaches 50% of its respective registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. As of March 31, 2012, the accumulated balance of our statutory reserve funds reserves amounted to $1.309 million, and the accumulated profits of our consolidated PRC entities that were available for dividend distribution amounted to $31.891 million.

Taxation

Under the EIT Law, enterprises are classified as resident enterprises and non-resident enterprises. An enterprise established outside of China with its “de facto management bodies” located within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the EIT Law define “de facto management bodies” as a managing body that in practice exercises “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise; however, it remains unclear whether the PRC tax authorities would deem our managing body as being located within China. Due to the short history of the EIT Law and lack of applicable legal precedents, the PRC tax authorities determine the PRC tax resident treatment of entities organized under the laws of foreign jurisdictions on a case-by-case basis.

If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our respective worldwide taxable income, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. Second, although the EIT Law provides that “dividends, bonuses and other equity investment proceeds between qualified resident enterprises” is exempted income, and the implementing rules of the EIT Law refers “dividends, bonuses and other equity investment proceeds between qualified resident enterprises” as the investment proceeds obtained by a resident enterprise from its direct investment in another resident enterprise, it is still unclear whether the dividends we receive from Jiuxin Management constitute “dividend between qualified resident enterprises” and would therefore qualify for tax exemption.

If we are treated as a PRC “non-resident enterprise” under the EIT Law, then dividends that we may receive from Jiuxin Management (assuming such dividends were considered sourced within the PRC) (i) may be subject to a 5% PRC withholding tax, provided that we own more than 25% of the registered capital of Jiuxin Management incessantly within 12 months immediately prior to obtaining dividend from Jiuxin Management, and if the Arrangement between the Mainland of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income is applicable, or (ii) if such treaty does not apply (i.e., because the PRC tax authorities may deem us to be a conduit not entitled to treaty benefits), may be subject to a 10% PRC withholding tax. Similarly, if we are treated as a PRC “non-resident enterprise” under the EIT Law, and Renovation were treated as a PRC “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law, then dividends that we receives from Renovation (assuming such dividends were considered sourced within the PRC) may be subject to a 10% PRC withholding tax. Any such taxes on dividends could materially reduce the amount of dividends, if any, that we could pay to our shareholders.

Finally, the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 10% PRC tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our investors that are non-resident enterprises so long as such non-resident enterprise investors do not have an establishment or place of business in China or, despite the existence of such establishment of place of business in China, the relevant income is not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business in China, to the extent that such dividends have their sources within the PRC. Similarly, any gain realized on the transfer of our shares by such investors is also subject to a 10% PRC income tax if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within China. In such event, we may be required to withhold a 10% PRC tax on any dividends paid to its investors that are non-resident enterprises. Our investors that are non-resident enterprises also may be responsible for paying PRC tax at a rate of 10% on any gain realized from the sale or transfer of our common shares in certain circumstances. We would not, however, has an obligation to withhold PRC tax with respect to such gain.

Moreover, the State Administration of Taxation issued “Circular 698” on December 10, 2009, that reinforces taxation on transfer of non-listed shares by non-resident enterprises through overseas holding vehicles. Circular 698 applies retroactively and was deemed to be effective as of January 2008. Pursuant to Circular 698, where (i) a foreign investor who indirectly holds equity interest in a PRC resident enterprise through an offshore holding company indirectly transfers equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise by selling the shares of the offshore holding company, and (ii) the offshore holding company is located in a jurisdiction where the effective tax rate is lower than 12.5% or where the offshore income of its residents is not taxable, the foreign investor is required to provide the tax authority in charge of that PRC resident enterprise with certain relevant information within 30 days of the transfer. The tax authorities in charge will evaluate the offshore transaction for tax purposes. In the event that the tax authorities determine that such transfer is abusing forms of business organization and there is no reasonable commercial purpose other than avoidance of PRC enterprise income tax, the tax authorities will have the power to conduct a substance-over-form re-assessment of the nature of the equity transfer. A reasonable commercial purpose may be established when the overall offshore structure is set up to comply with the requirements of supervising authorities of international capital markets. If the State Administration of Taxation’s challenge of a transfer is successful, they will deny the existence of the offshore holding company that is used for tax planning purposes. Since Circular 698 has a short history, there is uncertainty as to its application.

General PRC Government Approval

As a wholesale distributor and retailer of pharmaceutical products, we are subject to regulation and oversight by different levels of the food and drug administration in China, in particular, the SFDA. The Drug Administration Law of the PRC, as amended, provides the basic legal framework for the administration of the production and sale of pharmaceutical products in China and governs the manufacturing, distributing, packaging, pricing and advertising of pharmaceutical products in China. The corresponding implementation regulations set out detailed rules with respect to the administration of pharmaceuticals in China. We are also subject to other PRC laws and regulations that are applicable to business operators, retailers and foreign-invested companies.

Distribution of Pharmaceutical Products

A distributor of pharmaceutical products must obtain a distribution permit from the relevant provincial- or designated municipal- or county-level food and drug administration. The grant of such permit is subject to an inspection of the distributor’s facilities, warehouses, hygienic environment, quality control systems, personnel and equipment. The distribution permit is valid for five years, and the holder must apply for renewal of the permit within six months prior to its expiration. In addition, a pharmaceutical product distributor needs to obtain a business license from the relevant administration for industry and commerce prior to commencing its business. All of our consolidated entities that engage in retail pharmaceutical business have obtained necessary pharmaceutical distribution permits, and we do not expect any difficulties for us to renew these permits and/or certifications.

In addition, under the Supervision and Administration Rules on Pharmaceutical Product Distribution promulgated by the SFDA on January 31, 2007, and effective May 1, 2007, a pharmaceutical product distributor is responsible for its procurement and sales activities and is liable for the actions of its employees or agents in connection with their conduct of distribution on behalf of the distributor. A retail distributor of pharmaceutical products is not allowed to sell prescription pharmaceutical products, or Tier A OTC pharmaceutical products, listed in the national or provincial medical insurance catalogs without the presence of a certified in-store pharmacist. See “Reimbursement under the National Medical Insurance Program.”

Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Wholesale or Retail Pharmaceutical Business in China

PRC regulations on foreign investment currently permit foreign companies to establish or invest in wholly foreign-owned enterprises or joint ventures that engage in wholesale or retail sales of pharmaceuticals in China. For retail sales, these regulations restrict the number and size of retail pharmacy stores that a foreign investor may establish. If a foreign investor owns more than 30 stores that sell a variety of branded pharmaceutical products sourced from different suppliers, the foreign investor’s ownership interests in the stores are limited to 49%.

In lieu of equity ownership, our WFOE, Jiuxin Management, has entered into contractual arrangements with Jiuzhou Pharmacy and our three cofounders. We have 49% equity ownership of Jiuying Pharmacy through Jiuxin Management and Shouantang Technology, and Jiuxin Management has entered into contractual arrangements with Jiuying Pharmacy and our three cofounders with respect to the remaining 51%.

Good Supply Practice Standards

GSP standards regulate wholesale and retail pharmaceutical product distributors to ensure the quality of distribution of pharmaceutical products in China. All wholesale and retail pharmaceutical product distributors are required to apply for GSP certification within 30 days after obtaining the drug distribution permit. The current applicable GSP standards require pharmaceutical product distributors to implement strict controls on the distribution of medicine products, including standards regarding staff qualifications, distribution premises, warehouses, inspection equipment and facilities, management and quality control. Specifically, the warehouse must be able to store the pharmaceutical products at various required temperatures and humidity, handle transport, warehouse entries, delivery and billing by computerized logistics management systems. The GSP certificate is usually valid for five years. Currently, Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuxin Medicine, Hangzhou Quannuo and Shanghai Lydia are GSP certified. Jiuying Pharmacy is permitted to operate while its GSP application is being processed.

Prescription Administration

Under the Rules on Administration of Prescriptions promulgated by the SFDA, effective May 1, 2007, doctors are required to include the chemical ingredients of the medicine they prescribe in their prescription and are not allowed to include brand names in their prescription. This regulation is designed to provide consumers with choices among different pharmaceutical products that contain the same chemical ingredients.

Advertisement of Pharmaceutical Products

Under the Advertising Law of PRC, the contents of an advertisement must be true, lawful, without falsehood, and must neither deceive nor mislead consumers. Accordingly, advertisement must be examined by the competent authority prior to its publication or broadcast through any form of media. In addition, advertisement of pharmaceutical products may only be based on a drug’s approved indication of use statement, and may not contain any assurance of a product’s efficiency, treatment efficiency, curative rate or any other information prohibited by law. Advertisement for certain drugs should include an admonishment to seek a doctor’s advice before purchasing and application. Advertising is prohibited for certain drugs such as anesthetics and psychotropic drugs.

To further prevent misleading advertising of pharmaceutical products, the SAIC and the SFDA jointly promulgated the Standards for Examination and Publication of Advertisements of Pharmaceutical Products and Measures for Examination of Advertisement of Pharmaceutical Products in March 2007. Under these regulations, an approval must be obtained from the provincial level of food and drug administration before a pharmaceutical product may be advertised. In addition, once approved, an advertisement’s content may not be altered without further approval. Such approval, once obtained, is valid for one year.

Product Liability and Consumers Protection

Product liability claims may arise if the products sold have any harmful effect on the consumers. The injured party may make a claim for damages or compensation. The General Principles of the Civil Law of the PRC, which became effective in January 1987, state that manufacturers and sellers of defective products causing property damage or injury shall incur civil liabilities for such damage or injuries.

The Product Quality Law of the PRC was enacted in 1993 and amended in 2000 to strengthen the quality control of products and protect consumers’ rights and interests. Under this law, manufacturers and distributors who produce or sell defective products may be subject to confiscation of earnings from such sales, revocation of business licenses and imposition of fines, and in severe circumstances, may be subject to criminal liability.

The Administrative Measures for Drug Recalls was issued by the SFDA in December 2007, and covers two types of drug recalls, namely voluntary recalls and compulsory recalls. Under such regulation, wholesalers are obliged to assist drug manufacturers with any drug recall. In addition, a wholesaler must immediately ceases to sell any drug that the wholesaler learns to have any safety issues, and notify the manufacturer or its supplier as well as report the matter to the SFDA.

The Law of the PRC on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Consumers was promulgated on October 31, 1993 and became effective on January 1, 1994 to protect consumers’ rights when they purchase or use goods or services. All business operators must comply with this law when they manufacture or sell goods and/or provide services to customers. In extreme situations, pharmaceutical product manufacturers and distributors may be subject to criminal liability if their goods or services lead to the death or injuries of customers or other third parties.

The Tort Law of the PRC was promulgated on December 26, 2009 and came into force on July 1, 2010. The Tort Law provides that manufacturers and distributors who produce or sell defective products shall be responsible for the damage caused by the defective products.

Price Controls

The retail prices of some pharmaceutical products sold in China, primarily those included in the national and provincial medical insurance catalogs and those pharmaceutical products whose production or distribution are deemed to constitute monopolies, are subject to price controls in the form of fixed prices (for non-profit medical institutions) or price ceilings. Manufacturers or distributors cannot freely set or change the retail price for any price-controlled product above the applicable price ceiling or deviate from the applicable fixed price imposed by the PRC government. The prices of medicines that are not subject to price controls are determined freely at the discretion of the respective pharmaceutical companies, subject to notification to the provincial pricing authorities.

The retail prices of medicines that are subject to price controls are administered by the Price Control Office of the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”), and implemented by provincial and regional price control authorities. The retail price, once set, also effectively determines the wholesale price of that medicine. From time to time, the NDRC publishes and updates a list of medicines that are subject to price control. Provincial and regional price control authorities have discretion to authorize price adjustments based on the local conditions and the level of local economic development. Only the manufacturer of a medicine may apply for an increase in the retail price of the medicine, and it must either apply to the provincial price control authorities in the province where it is incorporated, if the medicine is provincially regulated, or to the NDRC, if the medicine is NDRC regulated.

Since May 1998, the PRC government has been ordering reductions in the retail prices of various pharmaceutical products. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, several price reductions occurred and affected 2,824 different pharmaceutical products, which required us to make 326 price adjustments. Currently, of the total number of pharmaceutical products and OTC drugs we offered, 2,845 are subject to price controls.

The NDRC may grant premium pricing status to certain pharmaceutical products that are under price control. The NDRC may set the retail prices of pharmaceutical products that have obtained premium pricing status at a level that is significantly higher than comparable products.

Reimbursement under the National Medical Insurance Program

Eligible participants in the national medical insurance program, mainly consisting of urban residents, are entitled to purchase medicine when presenting their medical insurance cards in an authorized pharmacy, provided that the medicine they purchase have been included in the national or provincial medical insurance catalogs. Depending on relevant local regulations, authorized pharmacies either sell medicine on credit and obtain reimbursement from relevant government social security bureaus on a monthly basis, or receive payments from the participants at the time of their purchases, and the participants in turn obtain reimbursement from relevant government social security bureaus.

Medicine included in the national and provincial medical insurance catalogs is divided into two tiers. Purchases of Tier A pharmaceutical products are generally fully reimbursable, except that certain Tier A pharmaceutical products are only reimbursable to the extent the medicine are used for specifically stated purposes in the medical insurance catalogs. Purchasers of Tier B pharmaceutical products, which are generally more expensive than Tier A pharmaceutical products, are required to make a certain percentage of co-payments, with the remaining amount being reimbursable. The percentage of reimbursement for Tier B OTC pharmaceutical products varies in different regions in the PRC. Factors that affect the inclusion of medicine in the medical insurance catalogs include whether the medicine is consumed in large volumes and commonly prescribed for clinical use in China and whether it is considered to be important in meeting the basic healthcare needs of the general public.

The PRC Ministry of Labor and Social Security, together with other government authorities, has the power to determine every two years which medicine are included in the national medical insurance catalog, under which of the two tiers the included medicine falls, and whether an included medicine should be removed from the catalog.

Sales of Nutritional Supplements and other Food Products

A distributor of nutritional supplements and other food products must obtain a food circulation permit from local Administration of Industry and Commerce. The grant of such permit is subject to an inspection of the distributor’s facilities, warehouses, hygienic environment, quality control systems, personnel and equipment. The food circulation permit is valid for three years, and the holder must apply for renewal of the certificate within 30 days prior to its expiration. Currently, Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Shanghai Lydia, Hangzhou Quannuo and each of our drugstore locations all hold a valid Food Circulation Permit. The permits of Jiuxin Medicine, Jiuzhou Pharmacy and three stores are expiring in 2012; the permits of 21 stores will expire in 2013; the permits of 18 stores will expire in 2014. Other permits including Jiuying Pharmacy’s will expire in 2015 or after. We have started the renewal process for the permits that are expiring in 2012 which we expect to complete in one to two months for each such permit. We believe that there is no difficulty in renewing such permits.

Medical Practice

Healthcare providers in China are required to comply with many laws and regulations at the national and local government levels. The laws and regulations applicable to our medical practice include the following:

·	We must register with and maintain an operating license from the local public health authority for each clinic that we operate, and is subject to annual review by the public health authority;

·	The Licensed Physician Act requires that we only hire PRC licensed physicians;

·	All waste material from our clinics must be properly collected, sterilized, deposited, transported and disposed of, and we are required to keep records of the origin, type and amount of all waste materials that we generate for at least three years;

·	We must have at least 3 physicians, 5 nurses and 1 technician on staff at each clinic; and

We must establish and follow protocols to prevent medical malpractice, which require us to: (i) insure that patients are adequately informed before they consent to medical operations or procedures; (ii) maintain complete medical records which are available for review by the patient, physicians and the courts; (iii) voluntarily report any event of malpractice to a local government agency; and (iv) support and justify the medical services we provide in any administrative investigation or litigation. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer penalties, including the loss of our license to operate.

Interim Regulations on Administration of Sino-Foreign Joint Venture and Cooperative Medical Institutions

As per China commitments to the World Trade Organization, “foreign service suppliers are permitted to establish joint venture hospitals or clinics with local Chinese partners with quantitative limitations in line with China’s needs. Foreign majority ownership is permitted.” In accordance with the Interim Regulations on Administration of Sino-Foreign Joint Venture and Cooperative Medical Institutions jointly issued by the Ministry of Health (“MOH”) and MOFCOM in 2000, the Chinese party of Sino-foreign joint ventures and cooperative medical institutions shall hold no less than 30% of shares and legal rights or interest, which also mean foreign investors are allowed to hold a maximum stake of 70%. Such regulations also specify that the establishment of Sino-foreign joint venture and cooperative medical institutions should be approved respectively by MOH and MOFCOM. In other words, foreigners are allowed to run hospitals or clinics in the form of equity or co-operative joint ventures with an equity interest of up to 70% and a duration for co-operation of up to 20 years.

Internet Pharmacy Sale

The PRC government regulates Internet access, the distribution of online information and the conduct of online commerce through strict business licensing requirements and other government regulations. Companies which sell pharmaceutical products to consumers through internet are required to obtain: (1) a drug distribution permit; (2) an internet pharmaceutical information provider qualification certificate (renewable every five years); (3) an internet pharmaceutical transaction service qualification certificate (renewable every five years); (4) a value-added telecommunication operation permit; and (5) registration with the Administration of Information Industry. Internet pharmacies are not allowed to distribute prescription drugs. The websites that sell pharmaceutical products must ensure transaction security and enable the consumers to consult with licensed pharmacists. Also, internet-based business in China is required to obtain and maintain certain assets relevant to its business, such as delivery and storage facilities. Jiuzhou Pharmacy obtained all above-mentioned certificates and registration and launched our online drugstore in May 2010. Quannuo Technology has been operating the website and providing software and technical supports since November 2010.

TCM Manufacturing

The SFDA has adopted a non-mandatory licensing process for manufacturers of TCM according to the Good Agricultural Practice for Chinese Crude Drugs (“GAP”). Manufacturers who meet the government-set requirements will be granted a GAP certificate. Since the GAP certification is not mandatory, we have not applied for such certification in connection with our herbal plants cultivation project, and currently have no plan to do so.

Environmental Matters

Our drugstore operations do not involve any activities subject to specific PRC environmental regulations. Our medical clinics are in compliance with applicable regulations regarding the administration of medical wastes, including collections, temperate storage, and packaging and labeling of medical wastes. Pursuant to such regulations, we contract with Dadi Weikang Medical Wastes Disposal Center to dispose of all medical wastes generated by our clinics.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this report that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business in General

Our relatively limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and results of operations.

We have a relatively limited operating history. We opened our first drugstore in March 2004, and entered the wholesale pharmaceutical distribution business in August 2011. Accordingly, you should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties experienced by early stage companies in evolving industries such as the pharmaceutical industry in China. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to:

·	maintain our market position;

·	attract additional customers and increase spending per customer;

·	respond to competitive market conditions;

·	increase awareness of our brand and continue to develop customer loyalty;

·	respond to changes in our regulatory environment;

·	maintain effective control of our costs and expenses;

·	raise sufficient capital to sustain and expand our business;

·	attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and

·	ability to find and open new locations.

If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

We depend substantially on the continuing efforts of our executive officers, and our business and prospects may be severely disrupted if we lose their services.

Our future success is dependent on the continued services of the key members of our management team. In particular, we depend on the services of our three cofounders, Mr. Lei Lu, who is also our chief executive officer and the chairman of our board of directors, and Ms. Li Qi and Mr. Chong’an Jin, who are also members of our board of directors. The implementation of our business strategy and our future success depend in large part on our continued ability to attract and retain highly qualified management personnel. We face competition for personnel from both retail and wholesale pharmaceutical distribution operators. Competition for these individuals could cause us to offer higher compensation and other benefits in order to attract and retain them, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We may be unable to attract or retain the personnel required to achieve our business objectives and failure to do so could severely disrupt our business and prospects. The process of hiring suitably qualified personnel is also often lengthy. In the past, we have had two major challenges to our recruiting efforts: (1) unqualified candidates who represent themselves as being qualified, and (2) talented and competent candidates who do not match our job requirements. If our recruitment and retention efforts are unsuccessful in the future, it may be more difficult for us to execute our business strategy.

We do not maintain key-man insurance for members of our management team. If we lose the services of any senior management, we may not be able to locate suitable or qualified replacements, and may incur additional expenses to recruit and train new personnel, which could severely disrupt our business and prospects. Furthermore, as we expect to continue to expand our operations, we will need to continue attracting and retaining experienced management. Each of our three cofounders has entered into a confidentiality and non-competition agreement with us regarding these agreements. However, if any disputes arise between our cofounders and us, we cannot assure you, in light of uncertainties associated with the PRC legal system, that any of these agreements could be enforced in China, where the three cofounders reside and hold some of their assets. See “Risks Related to Doing Business in China — You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based on United States or other foreign laws against us or our management..”

We may need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or other equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the near future. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in further operating and financing covenants that would further restrict our freedom to operate our business, such as conditions that:

·	limit our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek consent for the payment of dividends;

·	increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

·	require us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes; and

·	limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry.

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.

We have significant cash deposits with our suppliers and landlords in order to obtain and maintain our inventory and maintain and establish store locations, which we may not be able to recover in the event of bankruptcy by our suppliers or landlords or other events beyond our control.

Our ability to obtain products and maintain inventory at, and to maintain and establish leases for, our existing and new retail locations, is dependent upon our ability to post and maintain significant cash deposits with our suppliers and landlords. In China many vendors are unwilling to extend credit terms for product sales which require cash deposits to be made, and landlords may require 12 months or longer of cash deposit as security from tenants. At March 31, 2012, we had approximately $14.3 million on deposit with suppliers and approximately $2.9 million as deposits with landlords for our retail locations. If we are unable or unwilling to establish such advances and deposits our ability to generate sales and expand our business would be adversely affected. In general, we expect the amounts required for advances and deposits to increase as we undertake our expansion plans, complete store openings and expand our business through acquisitions or otherwise. We do not generally receive interest on any of our supplier or landlord deposits and such deposits are subject to loss as a result of the creditworthiness or bankruptcy of the party who holds our funds, as well as the risk from illegal acts such as conversion, fraud, theft or dishonesty associated with the third party. If these circumstances were to arise, we would find it difficult or impossible, due to the unpredictability of legal proceedings in China, to recover all or a portion of the amount on deposit with our vendors or landlords.

If we are unable to optimize management of our procurement and distribution activities, we may be unable to meet customer demand while increasing burden on managing our supply chain.

Since May 2011, we have been using Jiuxin Medicine’s facility as our distribution center for both our retail and wholesale businesses. Our ability to meet customer demand may be significantly limited if we do not successfully and efficiently conduct our distribution activities, or if Jiuxin Medicine’s facility is destroyed or shut down for any reason, including as the result of a natural disaster. Any disruption in the operation of our distribution could result in higher costs or longer lead times associated with distributing our products. In addition, as it is difficult to predict accurate sales volume in our industry, we may be unable to optimize our distribution activities, which may result in excess or insufficient inventory, warehousing, fulfillment or distribution capacity. Furthermore, failure to effectively control product damage during distribution process could decrease our operating margins and reduce our profitability.

In addition, all product procurement is handled through our corporate headquarters. Such centralization of merchandise procurement and replenishment operations is intended to reduce cost of goods sold as a result of volume purchase benefits. However, we may be less successful than anticipated in achieving these volume purchase benefits. In addition, the centralization of merchandise procurement for both our retail and wholesale operations is expected to increase the complexity of tracking inventory and place additional burdens on the management of our supply chain. If we cannot successfully reduce our costs through centralizing procurement, our profitability and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

Failure to maintain optimal inventory levels could increase our inventory holding costs or cause us to lose sales, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We need to maintain sufficient inventory levels to operate both our retail and wholesale businesses successfully as well as meet customer expectations. However, we must also guard against the risk of accumulating excess inventory. We are exposed to inventory risks as a result of rapid changes in product life cycles, changing consumer preferences, uncertainty of success of product launches, seasonality, and manufacturer backorders and other vendor-related problems. We cannot assure you that we can accurately predict these trends and events and avoid over-stocking or under-stocking products. In addition, demand for products could change significantly between the time product inventory is ordered and the time it is available for sale.

When we begin selling a new product, it is particularly difficult to forecast product demand accurately. The purchase of certain types of inventory may require significant lead-time. As we carry a broad selection of products and maintain significant inventory levels for a substantial portion of our merchandise, we may be unable to sell such inventory in sufficient quantities or during the relevant selling seasons. Carrying too much inventory would increase our inventory holding costs, and failure to have inventory in stock when a customer orders or purchases it could cause us to lose that order or lose that customer, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on computer software and hardware systems in managing our operations, the capacity of which may restrict our growth and the failure of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are dependent upon our integrated information management system to monitor daily operations of our retail and wholesale businesses, and to maintain accurate and up-to-date operating and financial data for compilation of management information. In addition, we rely on our computer hardware and network for the storage, delivery and transmission of the data of our retail and wholesale systems. Any system failure which causes interruptions to the input, retrieval and transmission of data or increase in the service time could disrupt our normal operation. Although we believe that our computer software and hardware systems are current and that our disaster recovery plan is adequate in handling their failure, we cannot assure you that we can effectively carry out this disaster recovery plan and that we will be able to restore our operation within a sufficiently short time frame to avoid our business being disrupted. Any failure in our computer software and/or hardware systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if the capacity of our computer software and hardware systems fails to meet the increasing needs of our expanding operations, our ability to grow may be constrained.

As a distributor of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products, we are exposed to inherent risks relating to product liability and personal injury claims.

Distributors of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products are exposed to risks inherent in the packaging and distribution of such products. Such risks include unintentional distribution of counterfeit drugs and, with respect to our pharmacies, improper filling of prescriptions, labeling of prescriptions and adequacy of warnings. Furthermore, the applicable laws, rules and regulations require our in-store pharmacists to offer counseling, without additional charge, to our customers about medication, dosage, delivery systems, common side effects and other information the in-store pharmacists deem significant. Our in-store pharmacists may also have a duty to warn customers regarding any potential negative effects of a prescription drug if the warning could reduce or negate these effects and we may be liable for claims arising from advices given by our in-store pharmacists. In addition, product liability claims may be asserted against us with respect to any of the products we distribute, and we may be required to pay for damages for any successful product liability claim against us, although we may have the right under applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations to recover from the relevant manufacturer for compensation we paid to our customers in connection with a product liability claim. We may also be obligated to recall affected products. If we are found liable for product liability claims, we could be required to pay substantial monetary damages. Furthermore, even if we successfully defend ourselves against this type of claim, we could be required to spend significant management, financial and other resources, which could disrupt our business, and our reputation as well as our brand names may also suffer. We, like many other similar companies in China, do not carry product liability insurance. As a result, any imposition of product liability could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we do not have any business interruption insurance due to the limited coverage of any business interruption insurance in China, and as a result, any business disruption or natural disaster could severely disrupt our business and operations and significantly decrease our revenue and profitability.

We may not be able to manage our expansion of operations effectively and failure to do so could strain our management, operational and other resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business and growth potential.

We anticipate continued expansion of our retail and wholesale businesses to address growth in demand for our products and services, as well as to capture new market opportunities. The continued growth of our business has resulted in, and will continue to result in, substantial demands on our management, operational and other resources. In particular, the management of our growth will require, among other things:

·	our ability to continue to identify and lease new store locations at acceptable prices;
·	our ability to optimize product offerings and increase sales of private label products;

·	our ability to control procurement cost and optimize product pricing;
·	our ability to control operating expenses and achieve a high level of efficiency, including, in particular, our ability to manage the amount of time required to open new stores and for stores to become profitable, to maintain sufficient inventory levels and to manage warehousing, buying and distribution costs;

·	information technology system enhancement;
·	strengthening of financial and management controls;

·	increased marketing, sales and sales support activities; and
·	hiring and training of new personnel.

If we are not able to manage our growth successfully, our business and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

We depend on the continued service of, and on the ability to attract, motivate and retain a sufficient number of qualified and skilled staff for our business.

Our ability to continue expanding our retail and wholesale businesses, and deliver high quality products and customer service, depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified and skilled staff. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract, hire and retain sufficient numbers of skilled personnel necessary to continue to develop and grow our business. In the past, our major recruiting challenges included unqualified candidates who represent themselves as being qualified, and talented and competent candidates who do not match our job requirements. The inability to attract and retain a sufficient number of skilled personnel could limit our ability to open additional stores, increase revenue or deliver high quality customer service. In addition, competition for these individuals could cause us to offer higher compensation and other benefits in order to attract and retain them, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We face significant competition, and if we do not compete successfully against existing and new competitors, our revenue and profitability would be materially and adversely affected.

Both drugstore and wholesale pharmaceutical distribution industries in China are highly competitive, and we expect competition to intensify in the future. Our primary drugstore competitors include other drugstore chains and independent drugstores. We also increasingly face competition from discount stores, convenience stores and supermarkets as we increase our offering of non-drug convenience products and services. We compete for customers and revenue primarily on the basis of store location, merchandise selection, price, services that we offer and our brand name. We believe that the continued consolidation of the drugstore industry and continued new store openings by chain store operators will further increase competitive pressures in the industry. Our primary wholesale competitors include regional and national players. In addition, we may be subject to additional competition from new entrants to both industries in China. We could also face increased competition from foreign companies if the Chinese government removes the barriers against foreign companies into these industries.

Some of our larger competitors may enjoy competitive advantages, such as:

·	greater financial and other resources;
·	larger variety of products;

·	more extensive and advanced supply chain management systems;
·	greater pricing flexibility;

·	larger economies of scale and purchasing power;
·	more extensive advertising and marketing efforts;

·	greater knowledge of local market conditions;
·	stronger brand recognition; and

·	larger sales and distribution networks.

As a result, we may be unable to offer products similar to, or more desirable than, those offered by our competitors, market our products as effectively as our competitors or otherwise respond successfully to competitive pressures. In addition, our competitors may be able to offer larger discounts on competing products, and we may not be able to profitably match those discounts. Furthermore, our competitors may offer products that are more attractive to our customers or that render our products uncompetitive. In addition, the timing of the introduction of competing products into the market could affect the market acceptance and market share of our products. Our failure to compete successfully could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and prospects.

Our retail and wholesale operations require a number of permits and licenses in order to carry on their business.

We are required to obtain certain permits and licenses from various PRC governmental authorities, including Drug Distribution Permit and GSP certification. We are also required to obtain food hygiene certificates for the distribution of nutritional supplements and food products. We cannot assure you that we can maintain all required licenses, permits and certifications to carry on our business at all times, and from time to time we may have not been in compliance with all such required licenses, permits and certifications. Moreover, these licenses, permits and certifications are subject to periodic renewal and/or reassessment by the relevant PRC governmental authorities and the standards of such renewal or reassessment may change from time to time. We intend to apply for the renewal of these licenses, permits and certifications when required by applicable laws and regulations. Any failure by us to obtain and maintain all licenses, permits and certifications necessary to carry on our business at any time could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any inability to renew these licenses, permits and certifications could severely disrupt our business, and prevent us from continuing to carry on our business. Any changes in the standards used by governmental authorities in considering whether to renew or reassess our business licenses, permits and certifications, as well as any enactment of new regulations that may restrict the conduct of our business, may also decrease our revenue and/or increase our costs and materially reduce our profitability and prospects. Furthermore, if the interpretation or implementation of existing laws and regulations changes or if new regulations come into effect requiring us to obtain any additional licenses, permits or certifications that were previously not required to operate our existing businesses, we cannot assure you that we may successfully obtain such licenses, permits or certifications.

The continued penetration of counterfeit products into the pharmaceutical market in China may damage our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

There has been continued penetration of counterfeit products into the pharmaceutical market in China. Counterfeit products are generally sold at lower prices than the authentic products due to their low production costs, and in some cases are very similar in appearance to the authentic products. Counterfeit pharmaceuticals may or may not have the same chemical content as their authentic counterparts, and are typically manufactured without proper licenses or approvals as well as fraudulently mislabeled with respect to their content and/or manufacturer. Although the PRC government has been increasingly active in combating counterfeit pharmaceutical and other products, there is not yet an effective counterfeit pharmaceutical product regulation control and enforcement system in China. Although we have implemented a series of quality control procedures in our procurement process, we cannot assure you that we would not be selling counterfeit pharmaceutical products inadvertently. Any unintentional sale of counterfeit products may subject us to negative publicity, fines and other administrative penalties or even result in litigation against us. Moreover, the continued proliferation of counterfeit products and other products in recent years may reinforce the negative image of drug distributors among consumers in China. The continued proliferation of counterfeit products in China could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation.

Risks Relating to Our Pharmacy Operations

Our operating results are difficult to predict, and we may experience significant fluctuations in our operating results.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly. As a result, you may not be able to rely on period to period comparisons of our operating results as an indication of our future performance. Factors causing these fluctuations include, among others:

·	our ability to maintain and increase sales to existing customers, attract new customers and satisfy our customers’ demands;

·	the frequency of customer visits to our drugstores and the quantity and mix of products our customers purchase;

·	the price we charge for our products or changes in our pricing strategies or the pricing strategies of our competitors;

·	timing and costs of marketing and promotional programs organized by us and/or our suppliers, including the extent to which we or our suppliers offer promotional discounts to our customers;

·	our ability to acquire merchandise, manage inventory and fulfill orders;

·	technical difficulties, system downtime or interruptions that may affect our product selection, procurement, pricing, distribution and retail management processes;

·	the introduction by our competitors of new products or services;

·	the effects of strategic alliances, potential acquisitions and other business combinations, and our ability to successfully and timely integrate them into our business;

·	changes in government regulations with respect to pharmaceutical and retail industries; and

·	current economic and geopolitical conditions in China and elsewhere.

In addition, a significant percentage of our operating expenses are fixed in the short term. As a result, a delay in generating revenue for any reason could result in substantial operating losses.

Moreover, our business is subject to seasonal variations in demand. In particular, traditional retail seasonality affects the sales of certain pharmaceuticals and other non-pharmaceutical products. Sales of our pharmaceutical products during our fiscal third quarter (October 1st through December 31st) benefit from the winter cold and flu season, and are lower in our fiscal fourth quarter (January 1st through March 31st ) because Chinese New Year falls into that quarter each year and our customers generally pay fewer visits to drugstores during this period. In addition, sales of some health and beauty products are driven, to some extent, by seasonal purchasing patterns and seasonal product changes. Failure to manage the increased sales effectively in the high sale season, and increases in inventory in anticipation of sales increase could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Many of the factors discussed above are beyond our control, making our quarterly results difficult to predict, which could cause the trading price of our securities to decline below investor expectations. You should not rely on our operating results for prior periods as an indication of our future results.

We may not be able to timely identify or otherwise effectively respond to changing customer preferences, and we may fail to optimize our product offering and inventory position.

The drugstore industry in China is rapidly evolving and is subject to rapidly changing customer preferences that are difficult to predict. Our success depends on our ability to anticipate and identify customer preferences and adapt our product selection to these preferences. In particular, we must optimize our product selection and inventory positions based on sales trends. We cannot assure you that our product selection, especially our selections of nutritional supplements and food products, will accurately reflect customer preferences at any given time. If we fail to anticipate accurately either the market for our products or customers’ purchasing habits or fail to respond to customers’ changing preferences promptly and effectively, we may not be able to adapt our product selection to customer preferences or make appropriate adjustments to our inventory positions, which could significantly reduce our revenue and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends on our ability to establish effective advertising, marketing and promotional programs.

Our success depends on our ability to establish effective advertising, marketing and promotional programs, including pricing strategies implemented in response to competitive pressures and/or to drive demand for our products. Our advertisements are designed to promote our brand, our corporate image and the prices of products available for sale in our stores. Our pricing strategies and value proposition must be appropriate for our target customers. If we are not able to maintain and increase the awareness of our pharmacy brand, products and services, we may not be able to attract and retain customers and our reputation may also suffer. We expect to incur substantial expenses in our marketing and promotional efforts to both attract and retain customers. However, our marketing and promotional activities may be less successful than we anticipate, and may not be effective at building our brand awareness and customer base. In addition, the government may impose restrictions on how marketing and promotional activities can be conducted. We also cannot assure you that our current and planned spending on marketing activities will be adequate to support our future growth. Failure to successfully execute our advertising, marketing and promotional programs may result in material decreases in our revenue and profitability.

Our brand names, trade secrets and other intellectual property are valuable assets. If we are unable to protect them from infringement, our business and prospects may be harmed.

We consider three of our pharmacy brand names, namely “Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy,” “Jiuying Grand Pharmacy” and “Lydia Grand Pharmacy,” to be valuable assets. We may be unable to prevent third parties from using such brand names without authorization, which may adversely affect our business and reputation, including the perceived quality and reliability of our products and services. We have four registered trademarks and one trademark application pending in China. We also own five websites, three of which are currently operating.

We also rely on trade secrets to protect our know-how and other proprietary information, including pricing, purchasing, promotional strategies, customer lists and/or suppliers lists. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. While we use reasonable efforts to protect our trade secrets, our employees, consultants, contractors or advisors may unintentionally or willfully disclose our information to competitors. In addition, confidentiality agreements, if any, executed by the foregoing persons may not be enforceable or provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure. Our employees are required to sign an employment agreement as a condition of employment, which contains a confidentiality provision.

If we were to enforce a claim that a third party had illegally obtained and was using our trade secrets, our enforcement efforts could be expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, if our competitors independently develop information that is equivalent to our trade secrets or other proprietary information, it will be even more difficult for us to enforce our rights and our business and prospects could be harmed.

Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the intellectual property rights of others. However, because the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights in the PRC are uncertain and still evolving, we may not be successful in prosecuting these cases. In addition, any litigation or proceeding or other efforts to protect our intellectual property rights could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources and could seriously harm our business and operating results. Furthermore, the degree of future protection of our proprietary rights is uncertain and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep our competitive advantage. If we are unable to protect our trade names, trade secrets and other propriety information from infringement, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We may be exposed to intellectual property infringement and other claims by third parties which, if successful, could disrupt our business and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to use our proprietary information and know-how without infringing third party intellectual property rights. As litigation becomes more common in China, we face a higher risk of being the subject of claims for intellectual property infringement, invalidity or indemnification relating to other parties’ proprietary rights. Our current or potential competitors, many of which have substantial resources, may have or may obtain intellectual property protection that will prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to conduct our business in China. Moreover, the defense of intellectual property suits, including trademark infringement suits, and related legal and administrative proceedings can be both costly and time consuming and may significantly divert the efforts and resources of our management personnel. Furthermore, an adverse determination in any such litigation or proceedings to which we may become a party could cause us to:

·	pay damage awards;

·	seek licenses from third parties;

·	pay ongoing royalties;

·	redesign our product offerings; or

·	be restricted by injunctions,

each of which could effectively prevent us from pursuing some or all of our business and result in our customers or potential customers deferring or limiting their purchase from our stores, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Future acquisitions are expected to be a part of our growth strategy, and could expose us to significant business risks.

One of our strategies is to grow our business through acquisition. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to identify and secure suitable acquisition opportunities. Our ability to consummate and integrate effectively any future acquisitions on terms that are favorable to us may be limited by the number of attractive acquisition targets, internal demands on our resources and, to the extent necessary, our ability to obtain financing on satisfactory terms for larger acquisitions, if at all. Moreover, if an acquisition target is identified, the third parties with whom we seek to cooperate may not select us as a potential partner or we may not be able to enter into arrangements on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The negotiation and completion of potential acquisitions, whether or not ultimately consummated, could also require significant diversion of management’s time and resources and potential disruption of our existing business. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that the expected synergies from future acquisitions will actually materialize. In addition, future acquisitions could result in the incurrence of additional indebtedness, costs, and contingent liabilities. Future acquisitions may also expose us to potential risks, including risks associated with:

·	the integration of new operations, services and personnel;

·	unforeseen or hidden liabilities;

·	the diversion of financial or other resources from our existing businesses;

·	our inability to generate sufficient revenue to recover costs and expenses of the acquisitions; and

·	potential loss of, or harm to, relationships with employees or customers.

Any of the above could significantly disrupt our ability to manage our business and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in economic conditions and consumer confidence in China may influence the retail industry, consumer preferences and spending patterns.

Our business and revenue growth primarily depend on the size of the retail market of pharmaceutical products in China. As a result, our revenue and profitability may be negatively affected by changes in national, regional or local economic conditions and consumer confidence in China. In particular, as we focus our expansion of retail stores in metropolitan markets, where living standards and consumer purchasing power are relatively high, we are especially susceptible to changes in economic conditions, consumer confidence and customer preferences of the urban Chinese population. External factors beyond our control that affect consumer confidence include unemployment rates, levels of personal disposable income, national, regional or local economic conditions and acts of war or terrorism. Changes in economic conditions and consumer confidence could adversely affect consumer preferences, purchasing power and spending patterns. In addition, acts of war or terrorism may cause damage to our facilities, disrupt the supply of the products and services we offer in our stores or adversely impact consumer demand. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The retail prices of some of our products are subject to control, including periodic downward adjustment, by PRC governmental authorities.

An increasing percentage of our pharmaceutical products, primarily those included in the national and provincial medical insurance catalogs, are subject to price controls in the form of fixed retail prices or retail price ceilings. See “Relevant PRC Regulations — Price Controls” above. In addition, the retail prices of these products are also subject to periodic downward adjustments as the PRC governmental authorities seek to make pharmaceutical products more affordable to the general public. Since May 1998, the relevant PRC governmental authorities have ordered price reductions of thousands of pharmaceutical products. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, several price reductions occurred and affected 2,824 different prescription pharmaceutical products. Currently, 2,845 of the prescription and OTC drugs that we offer are subject to price controls. 326 of our prescription drug prices required adjustment during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. Any future price controls or government mandated price reductions may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, including significantly reducing our revenue and profitability.

We may be subject to fines and penalties if we fail to comply with the applicable PRC laws and regulations governing sales of medicines under the PRC National Medical Insurance Program.

Eligible participants in the PRC national medical insurance program, mainly consisting of urban residents in China, are entitled to buy medicines using their medical insurance cards in an authorized pharmacy, provided that the medicines they purchase have been included in the national or provincial medical insurance catalogs. The pharmacy, in turn, obtains reimbursement from the relevant government social security bureaus. Moreover, the applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations prohibit pharmacies from selling goods other than pre-approved medicines when purchases are made with medical insurance cards. We have established procedures to prohibit our drugstores from selling unauthorized goods to customers who make purchases with medical insurance cards. However, we cannot assure you that those procedures will be strictly followed by all of our employees in all of our stores.

Risks Relating to Our Medical Services

If we do not attract and retain qualified physicians and other medical personnel, our ability to provide medical services would be adversely affected.

The success of our medical services will be, in part, dependent upon the number and quality of doctors, nurses and other medical support personnel that we employ and our ability to maintain good relations with them. Our medical staff may terminate their employment with us at any time. If we are unable to successfully maintain good relationships with them, our ability to provide medical services may be adversely affected.

The provision of medical services is heavily regulated in the PRC and failure to comply with those regulations could result in penalties, loss of licensure, additional compliance costs or other adverse consequences.

Healthcare providers in China, as in most other populous countries, are required to comply with many laws and regulations at the national and local government levels. These laws and regulations relate to: licensing; the conduct of operations; the ownership of facilities; the addition of facilities and services; advertising; confidentiality, maintenance and security issues associated with medical records; billing for services; and prices for services. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer penalties, including the loss of our licenses to operate. In addition, further healthcare legislative reform is likely, and could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations in the event we do not comply or if the cost of compliance is expensive. The above list of certain regulated areas is not exhaustive and it is not possible to anticipate the exact nature of future healthcare legislative reform in China. Depending on the priorities determined by the Chinese Ministry of Health, the political climate at any given time, the continued development of the Chinese healthcare system and many other factors, future legislative reforms may be highly diverse, including stringent infection control policies, improved rural healthcare facilities, increased regulation of the distribution of pharmaceuticals and numerous other policy matters. Consequently, the implications of these future reforms could result in penalties, loss of licensure, additional compliance costs or other adverse consequences.

As a provider of medical services, we are exposed to inherent risks relating to malpractice claims.

As a provider of medical services, any misdiagnosis or improper treatment may result in adverse publicity regarding us, which would harm our reputation. If we are found liable for malpractice claims, we could be required to pay substantial monetary damages. Furthermore, even if we successfully defend ourselves against this type of claim, we could be required to spend significant management, financial and other resources, which could disrupt our business, and our reputation as well as our brand name may also suffer. Because malpractice claims are not common in China, we do not carry malpractice insurance. As a result, any imposition of malpractice liability could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face competition that could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our clinics compete with a large number and variety of healthcare facilities in their respective markets. There are numerous government-run and private hospitals and clinics available to the general populace. There can be no assurance that these or other clinics, hospitals or other facilities will not commence or expand such operations, which would increase their competitive position. Further, there can be no assurance that a healthcare organization, having greater resources in the provision or management of healthcare services, will not decide to engage in operations similar to those being conducted by us in Hangzhou.

Risks Related to Our Cultivation of TCM Herbs

There is no assurance that our cultivation project will be profitable.

At the present, more than ten herbal plants are being cultivated on our leased land in Lin’an, Zhejiang Province, including fructus rubi (used in TCM to promote blood circulation), white atractylodes rhizome (used in TCM to treat physical and mental fatigue), atractylodes macrocephala (used in TCM to control sweating) and gingko seeds (used in TCM to treat asthma), which we have been harvesting since December 2011 and began selling in bulk to third-party vendors in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. While we have already devoted considerable resources, and may continue to do so in the foreseeable future, there is no assurance that we will ultimately recover our investments or that such endeavor will be profitable to us.

Any revenue that we may derive from our cultivation project, if any, is affected by the volatility of prices for TCM raw herbs.

The herbs that we are cultivating are sold in bulk to third-party vendors based on market prices primarily determined by TCM manufacturers and TCM trading companies in local markets. Such market prices have increased significantly in recent years in response to changes in the supply of and demand for raw herbs for TCM, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control, including inflation, changes of weather, outbreak of disease, domestic government regulation, market speculation and overall economic conditions. We do not and will not have control over the factors affecting prices for the plants that we are planning to distribute in the areas in which we intend to distribute them. There can be no assurance that market prices, which historically have fluctuated widely, will continue to increase or remain stable and any future declines in prices will reduce any revenue, if any, that we may derive from our cultivation project.

Unforeseen and severe weather can reduce cultivation activity and lead to a decrease in anticipated harvest of the plants that are being cultivated on our leased land.

The climatic and seasonal factors such as weather conditions, level of rainfall and temperature may, among other things, affect the quality, overall supply and availability of raw herbs for TCM, including the plants that are being cultivated on our leased lands. Sustained adverse weather conditions in Zhejiang Province in general and in Lin’an in particular where our cultivation site is located, such as rain, extreme cold or snow could disrupt or curtail cultivation and harvesting activities which in turn could reduce our anticipated harvest yields, delay the timing of our anticipated harvest and distribution, and negatively affect the quality of our harvest. In addition, natural disasters such as fires, earthquakes, snowstorms, extreme climatic or weather conditions such as floods or droughts, or natural conditions such as crop disease, pests or soil erosion, may negatively impact the cultivation and harvest of the plants that are being cultivated on our leased land. The occurrence of any of these may reduce the amount of revenue, if any, that we may derive from our cultivation project.

In addition, the actual climatic conditions of Zhejiang Province and of Lin’an in particular may not conform to historical patterns and may be affected by variations in weather patterns, including any potential impact of climate change. The effects of climate change may produce more variable or severe weather events that can adversely affect our ability to cultivate and harvest successfully. Each of these events could increase the cost of our cultivation project beyond our anticipation, which in turn could affect our overall profitability.

Should the plants that are being cultivated on our leased land ever become contaminated or deteriorate, we may be exposed to negative publicity about product safety which could have a negative impact on our financial condition.

Any contamination or deterioration of the plants that are being cultivated on our leased land could harm our reputation and business. Any such contamination or deterioration could result in their recall and criminal or civil liability, and restrict our ability for further distribution, thereby reducing the potential returns, if any, on the resources and efforts that we have invested into our cultivation project. Any resulting negative publicity could also drive consumers away from our pharmacies, which would have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may also be affected by factors such as negative publicity resulting from the publication of industry findings, research reports or health concerns concerning the safety of TCM products produced in China or the plants that are being cultivated on our leased land in particular. Such complaints and negative publicity may lead to a loss of consumer confidence and a reduction in the demand for TCM or the plants that we are cultivating.

We have limited control over the availability and the quality of the local farmers with whom we cooperate because we do not employ them directly.

We engage local farmers to harvest the plants being cultivated on our leased land. We do not employ these farmers directly. Instead, the farmers are recruited and employed by the local villagers’ committees that we negotiate with at harvest. We have limited control over the availability and the quality of this labor. A shortage of suitable laborers may adversely affect our harvest yields.

Risks Related to Our Online Drugstore Business

We rely on computer software and hardware systems in managing our online drugstore, the capacity of which may restrict our growth and the failure of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are dependent upon our electronic commerce system to carry out our online pharmaceutical sales. Any system failure which causes interruptions to the input, retrieval and transmission of data or increases in service time could disrupt our normal operation. Although we believe we have a disaster recovery plan, which can handle the failure of our computer software and hardware systems, we cannot assure you that we can effectively carry out this disaster recovery plan and that we will be able to restore our operation within a sufficiently short time frame to avoid disruption to our business. Any failure in our computer software and/or hardware systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if the capacity of our computer software and hardware systems fails to meet the increasing needs of our operations, our ability to grow may be constrained.

We only recently introduced our online drugstore business and, as a result, it may be difficult to evaluate its performance and prospects.

In April 2010, we were granted an Internet Pharmaceutical Transaction Service Qualification Certificate by the State Food and Drug Administration of Zhejiang Province, which allows us to engage in online retail pharmaceutical sales throughout China. In May 2010, we launched www.dada360.com to sell OTC drugs and nutritional supplements online. In July 2010, we established Shouantang Technology as a wholly-owned subsidiary to carry out the internet pharmacy business, and acquired Quannuo Technology in November 2010 to operate the website and provide software and technical support. Our ability to generate a profit from online sales remains unproven. Our online business strategy has not been tested over time and we cannot be certain that we will be able to successfully manage or grow our online business. We may incur significant costs as we continue to implement and improve our website. Given the limited operating history of our online business, it may be difficult for you to evaluate its performance and prospects.

Uncertainties regarding the growth and sustained profitability of e-commerce in China could adversely affect our online business prospects.

While e-commerce has existed in China since the 1990s, only recently have certain e-commerce companies in China become profitable. Thus, the long-term viability and prospects of various e-commerce business models, and e-commerce generally, in China remain relatively untested. Our future operating results from our online drugstore business will depend on numerous factors affecting the development of e-commerce in China, which may be beyond our control. These factors include:

·	the growth of personal computer, Internet and broadband usage and penetration in China, and the rate of any such growth;

·	the trust and confidence level of consumers in online shopping in China, as well as changes in customer demographics and consumers’ tastes and preferences;

·	the selection, price and popularity of products that we and our competitors offer on websites;

·	whether alternative retail channels or business models that better address the needs of consumers emerge in China;

·	the development of fulfillment, payment and other ancillary services associated with online purchases; and

·	general economic conditions, particularly economic conditions affecting discretionary consumer spending.

A decline in the popularity of shopping on the Internet in general, or failure by us to adapt our website and improve the online shopping experience of our customers in response to trends and consumer needs, may adversely affect our online business prospects.

If our online drugstore business fails to obtain and maintain the requisite assets, licenses, qualified personnel and approvals required under the complex regulatory environment for internet-based businesses in China, the business prospects for such business may be materially and adversely affected.

Internet-based businesses in China are highly regulated by the PRC government and numerous PRC regulatory authorities are empowered to issue and implement regulations governing various aspects of these businesses. Our online drugstore business is operated by our PRC subsidiary, Quannuo Technology, which is required to obtain and maintain certain assets relevant to its business, such as computers and other electrical equipment, as well as applicable licenses or approvals from different regulatory authorities. These assets and licenses are essential to the operation of an e-commerce business and are generally subject to annual review by the relevant governmental authorities. Furthermore, we may be required to obtain additional licenses. If we fail to obtain or maintain any of the required assets, licenses or approvals, our internet business may be deemed illegal and it may be subject to various penalties, such as confiscation of illegal income, fines and the discontinuation or restriction of its operations. Any such disruption may materially and adversely affect our online business prospects.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

Chinese regulations limit foreign ownership of Chinese pharmacy chain operating 30 or more stores and limit foreign ownership of Chinese medical clinics to Sino-foreign joint venture. Our “Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy” and “Lydia Grand Pharmacy” stores are operated by Jiuzhou Pharmacy and its subsidiary Shanghai Lydia, and our clinics are operated by Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service, all of which we control by means of contractual arrangements. In addition, we control 51% of Jiuying Pharmacy through contractual arrangements. The validity of such contractual arrangements is uncertain. If the Chinese government determines that these contractual arrangements do not comply with applicable regulations, our business could be adversely affected. If the PRC regulatory bodies determine that such contractual arrangements do not comply with PRC regulatory restrictions on foreign investment in drugstore and medical practice or in our business generally, we could be subject to severe penalties. In addition, changes in such Chinese laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.

Current PRC regulations limit any foreign investor’s ownership in a drugstore operator to 49.0% if such operator owns interests in more than 30 drugstores in China that sell a variety of branded pharmaceutical products sourced from different suppliers. Since we do not own any equity interests in Jiuzhou Pharmacy (or its subsidiary Shanghai Lydia), but controls it through contractual arrangements with our wholly foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”), Jiuxin Management, we have been advised by our PRC counsel, Allbright Law Offices (“Allbright”), that the regulations on foreign ownership of drugstores do not apply to us even if Jiuzhou Pharmacy or Shanghai Lydia expands beyond 30 stores. In accordance with PRC regulations, we have 49% equity ownership of Jiuying Pharmacy (through Jiuxin Management and Shouantang Technology), but controls the remaining 51% through contractual arrangements.

Similarly, foreign ownership of medical practice in China is limited to means of Sino-foreign joint venture. Since we do not have actual equity interest in Jiuzhou Clinic or Jiuzhou Service, but control these entities through contractual arrangements, Allbright has advised us that the PRC regulations restricting foreign ownership of medical practice are not applicable to us or our structure.

There are, however, uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to the laws, rules and regulations governing the validity and enforcement of our contractual arrangements. Although we have been advised by Allbright, that based on their understanding of the current PRC laws, rules and regulations, the structure for operating our business in China (including our corporate structure and contractual arrangements with Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic, Jiuzhou Service, Jiuying Pharmacy and our three cofounders) comply with all applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations, and do not violate, breach, contravene or otherwise conflict with any applicable PRC laws, rules or regulations, we cannot assure you that the PRC regulatory authorities will not determine that our corporate structure and contractual arrangements violate PRC laws, rules or regulations. If the PRC regulatory authorities determine that our contractual arrangements are in violation of applicable PRC laws, rules or regulations, our contractual arrangements will become invalid or unenforceable, and we may not be able to consolidate the operations of HJ Group or Jiuying Pharmacy with our results of operations. In addition, new PRC laws, rules and regulations may be introduced from time to time to impose additional requirements that may be applicable to our contractual arrangements. For example, pursuant to the PRC Property Rights Law that became effective on October 1, 2007, the pledge of any equity interests of a PRC private entity shall become effective once it is duly registered with the local branches of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (“SAIC”). Following the promulgation of the Property Law, SAIC further issued the Administrative Measures for Registrations of Share Pledge on September 1, 2008, which provided detailed procedural guidance for the local SAIC offices to handle the registrations of share pledge. The Equity Pledge Agreement that forms a part of the contractual arrangements creates a legally binding obligation on the parties upon the execution date; however, the pledge established under such agreement does not become effective until due registration with local SAIC office. On May 18, 2010, registration of the pledged equity interests in Jiuzhou Pharmacy was completed.

The Chinese government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new Chinese laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assure you that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future Chinese laws or regulations. As a result, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt our business operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are determined to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws, rules or regulations or fail to obtain or maintain any of the required governmental permits or approvals, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such violations, including:

·	revoking the business and operating licenses of our PRC consolidated entities;

·	discontinuing or restricting the operations of our PRC consolidated entities;

·	imposing conditions or requirements with which we or our PRC consolidated entities may not be able to comply;

·	requiring us or our PRC consolidated entities to restructure the relevant ownership structure or operations;

·	restricting or prohibiting our use of the proceeds from our initial public offering to finance our business and operations in China; or

·	imposing fines.

The imposition of any of these penalties would severely disrupt our ability to conduct business and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may be adversely affected by complexity, uncertainties and changes in Chinese regulation of drugstores and the practice of medicine.

The Chinese government regulates drugstores and the practice of medicine including foreign ownership, and the licensing and permit requirements. These laws and regulations are relatively new and evolving, and their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty. As a result, in certain circumstances it may be difficult to determine what actions or omissions may be deemed to be a violation of applicable laws and regulations. Issues, risks and uncertainties relating to Chinese government regulation of the industry include the following:

·	We only have contractual control over HJ Group and 51% of Jiuying Pharmacy. We do not own them due to the restriction of foreign investment in pharmacy chains with 30 or more drugstores and foreign ownership of medical practice.

Uncertainties relating to the regulation of drugstores and medical practice in China, including evolving licensing practices, means that permits, licenses or operations at our company may be subject to challenge. This may disrupt our business, or subject us to sanctions, requirements to increase capital or other conditions or enforcement, or compromise enforceability of related contractual arrangements, or have other harmful effects on us.

The interpretation and application of existing Chinese laws, regulations and policies and possible new laws, regulations or policies have created substantial uncertainties regarding the legality of existing and future foreign investments in, and the businesses and activities of, pharmaceutical businesses in China, including our business

Our contractual arrangements with HJ Group, Jiuying Pharmacy and our cofounders may not be as effective in providing control over these entities as direct ownership.

We have no equity ownership interest in HJ Group, and rely on contractual arrangements to control and operate the HJ Group companies and their businesses. And although we have 49% equity ownership of Jiuying Pharmacy, we likewise rely on contractual arrangements to control the remaining 51%. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing control over these companies as direct ownership. For example, any one of them could fail to take actions required for our business despite its contractual obligation to do so. If this were to happen, we may have to rely on legal remedies under Chinese law, which may not be effective. In addition, we cannot assure you that our three cofounders will act in our best interests.

Because we rely on contractual arrangements to control HJ Group and Jiuying Pharmacy, and for substantially all of our revenue, the termination of such agreements will severely and detrimentally affect our continuing business viability under our current corporate structure.

Because neither we nor Jiuxin Management own equity interests of HJ Group, and only have 49% of Jiuying Pharmacy, the termination of our contractual arrangements with them would sever our ability to continue receiving payments from them under our current holding company structure. In the event the contractual arrangements terminate, we will lose our control over them and their business operations, as well as our primary sources of revenue. Should this occur, we may seek to acquire control of HJ Group and Jiuying Pharmacy through other means, although we cannot guarantee that we will do so, nor can we guarantee that we will be successful if we do.

We cannot assure you that there will not be any event or reason that may cause the contractual arrangements to terminate. In the event that the contractual arrangements are terminated for any reason, this may have a severe and detrimental effect on our continuing business viability under our current corporate structure, which in turn may affect the value of your investment.

We rely principally on dividends paid by our consolidated operating entities to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our consolidated PRC entities to pay dividends to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.

We are a holding company, and rely principally on dividends paid by our consolidated PRC operating entities for cash requirements, including the funds necessary to service any debt we may incur, which are passed on to us through Jiuxin Management. If any of the consolidated operating entities incurs debt in its own name in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict dividends or other distributions on its equity interest to us. In addition, the PRC tax authorities may require us to adjust our taxable income under the contractual arrangements in a manner that would materially and adversely affect our ability to pay dividends and other distributions on our equity interest.

Furthermore, applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations permit payment of dividends by our consolidated PRC entities only out of their retained earnings, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards. Under PRC laws, rules and regulations, our consolidated PRC entities are required to set aside at least 10.0% of their after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to their statutory surplus reserve fund until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50.0% of their respective registered capital. As a result, our consolidated PRC entities are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net income to us whether in the form of dividends, loans or advances. As of March 31, 2012, our restricted reserves totaled RMB9,460,695 ($1,309,109) and we had unrestricted retained earnings of RMB215,854,168 ($ 31,429,100). Our restricted reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Any limitation on the ability of our consolidated operating entities to pay dividends to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our businesses, pay dividends or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Management members of HJ Group and Jiuying Pharmacy have potential conflicts of interest with us, which may adversely affect our business and your ability for recourse.

Mr. Lei Liu, our chairman and chief executive officer, is also the executive director of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, a general partner of Jiuzhou Clinic, the supervising director of Jiuzhou Service, and the legal representative of Jiuying Pharmacy. Mr. Chong’an Jin, one of our directors, is the supervising director of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, the managing general partner of Jiuzhou Clinic, the executive director of Jiuzhou Service. Ms. Li Qi, our corporate secretary and also a member of the board of directors, is the general manager of each of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service and a general partner of Jiuzhou Clinic. Conflicts of interests between their respective duties to our company and HJ Group or Jiuying Pharmacy may arise. As our directors and executive officers (in the case of Mr. Liu and Ms. Qi), they have a duty of loyalty and care to us under U.S. and Hong Kong law when there are any potential conflicts of interests between our company and HJ Group or Jiuying Pharmacy. We cannot assure you, however, that when conflicts of interest arise, every one of them will act completely in our interests or that conflicts of interests will be resolved in our favor. For example, they may determine that it is in HJ Group or Jiuying Pharmacy’s interests to sever the contractual arrangements with Jiuxin Management, irrespective of the effect such action may have on us. In addition, any one of them could violate his or her legal duties by diverting business opportunities from us to others, thereby affecting the amount of payment that HJ Group or Jiuying Pharmacy is obligated to remit to us under the consulting services agreement.

In the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the securities laws or otherwise as a result of any one of the circumstances described above, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against HJ Group or Jiuying Pharmacy, or our officers or directors who are members of their management, all of whom reside within China. Even if you are successful in bringing an action, the laws of China may render you unable to enforce a judgment against the assets of HJ Group, Jiuying Pharmacy and their respective management, all of which are located in China.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic, Jiuzhou Service and Jiuying Pharmacy are subject to restrictions on making payments to us.

We rely substantially on our contractual arrangements with Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic, Jiuzhou Service and Jiuying Pharmacy for our revenue. The Chinese government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of China. We may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency. See “Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.” Furthermore, if these companies incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to make payments. If we are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations through these contractual arrangements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our common shares.

Uncertainties with respect to the Chinese legal system could adversely affect us.

We conduct our business through our subsidiaries and controlled companies in the PRC. Our operations in China are governed by Chinese laws and regulations. We are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises. The Chinese legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value.

Since 1979, Chinese legislation and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and their nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the Chinese legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based on United States or other foreign laws against us or our management.

We are a holding company and conduct our business through our subsidiaries and controlled companies in the PRC. In addition, all of our operating assets are located in, and all of our other senior executive officers (excepting our chief financial officer) reside within, China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon our senior executive officers and directors not residing in the United States, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. Moreover, our Chinese counsel has advised us that China does not have treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgment of courts. As a result, our public shareholders may have substantial difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management or directors than would shareholders of a corporation with assets and management members located in the United States.

We may need to obtain additional governmental approvals to open new drugstores. Our inability to obtain such approvals will have a material adverse effect on our business and growth.

According to the Measures on the Administration of Foreign Investment in the Commercial Sector promulgated by the PRC Ministry of Commerce (the “Measures”), which became effective on June 1, 2004, a company that is directly owned by a foreign invested enterprise needs to obtain relevant governmental approvals before it opens new retail stores. However, there are no specific laws, rules or regulations with respect to whether it is necessary for a company contractually controlled by a foreign invested enterprise to obtain approvals to open new retail stores. In addition, the Measures state that PRC Ministry of Commerce will promulgate a detailed implementation regulation to govern foreign invested enterprises engaging in drug sale. However, such implementation regulation has not yet been promulgated. Therefore we cannot assure you that the PRC Ministry of Commerce will not require that such approvals to be obtained. If additional governmental approval is deemed to be necessary and we are not able to obtain such approvals on a timely basis or at all, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of our common stock, will be materially and adversely affected.

The advent of recent healthcare reform directives from the PRC government may increase both competition and our cost of doing business.

Under the auspices of the Healthy China 2020 program (the “Program”), published by China’s National Development and Reform Commission in October 2008, the PRC government has set in motion a series of policies in fairly rapid successions aimed to improve China’s healthcare system. Such policies include (1) discouraging hospitals from both prescribing and dispensing medication, (2) the unveiling of formal healthcare reform guidelines in April 2009, aimed to improve the availability of and subsidies for “essential” drugs, and (3) the announcement of China’s National Essential Drugs List (“NEDL”) in August 2009, listing approximately 300 medicines that are expected to be sold at government-controlled prices. While an underlying goal of these policies is to make drugs more accessible to China’s poorer populations, such policy as discouraging hospitals from both prescribing and dispensing medication also serve to create opportunities that in turn will intensify business competition in the Chinese retail drugstore industry, as well as competition for skilled labor and retail spaces. Additionally, we expect the NEDL to lead to a rise in the number of government-subsidized community healthcare service centers, which will erode the convenience and price advantage that our drugstores traditionally enjoy against hospitals.

Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.

The Chinese government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current structure, our income is primarily derived from payments from the three HJ Group companies. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our subsidiaries and our PRC affiliated entities to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing Chinese foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from China State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The Chinese government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our stockholders.

Fluctuation in the value of RMB may have a material adverse effect on your investment.

The value of RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Our revenues, costs, and financial assets are mostly denominated in RMB while our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, this may result in gains or losses from currency translation on our financial statements. We rely entirely on fees paid to us by our affiliated entities in China. Therefore, any significant fluctuation in the value of RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, our stock in U.S. dollars. For example, an appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar would make any new RMB denominated investments or expenditures more costly to us, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for such purposes. An appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar would result in foreign currency translation gain for financial reporting purposes when we translate our RMB denominated financial assets into U.S. dollar, as U.S. dollar is our reporting currency.

Dividends we receive from our subsidiary located in the PRC may be subject to PRC withholding tax.

The current PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the EIT Law, and the implementation regulations for the EIT Law issued by the PRC State Council, became effective as of January 1, 2008. The EIT Law provides that a maximum income tax rate of 20% is applicable to dividends payable to non-PRC investors that are “non-resident enterprises,” to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC, and the State Council has reduced such rate to 10% through the implementation regulations. We are a Nevada holding company and substantially all of our income is derived from our subsidiaries and controlled companies located in the PRC. Therefore, dividends paid to us by our subsidiaries in China may be subject to the 10% income tax if we are considered as a “non-resident enterprise” under the EIT Law. If we are required under the EIT Law and its implementation regulations to pay income tax for any dividends we receive from our PRC subsidiaries, it may have a material and adverse effect on our net income and materially reduce the amount of dividends, if any, we may pay to our shareholders.

We face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks.

Our business could be adversely affected by the effects of an epidemic outbreak, such as the SARS epidemic in April 2004. Any prolonged recurrence of such adverse public health developments in China may have a material adverse effect on our business operations. For instance, health or other government regulations adopted in response may require temporary closure of our stores or offices. Such closures would severely disrupt our business operations and adversely affect our results of operations. We have not adopted any written preventive measures or contingency plans to combat any future outbreak of SARS or any other epidemic.

If relations between the United States and China worsen, investors may be unwilling to hold or buy our stock and our stock price may decrease.

At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had significant disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries. Any political or trade controversies between the United States and China, whether or not directly related to our business, could reduce the price of our common stock.

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities

To date, we have not paid any cash dividends and no cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and we may not have sufficient funds legally available to pay dividends. Even if the funds are legally available for distribution, we may nevertheless decide not to pay any dividends. We intend to retain all earnings for our operations.

NASDAQ may delist our common stock from trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market for failing to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00, which could limit investors’ ability to effect transactions in our common stock and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. From April 1, 2012 through June 22, 2012, our stock had a closing bid price below $1.00 for approximately 20 non-consecutive trading days. If our common stock share price falls below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, NASDAQ’s Listing Qualifications Department may send us a notice for failing to meet the $1.00 minimum bid price as required under NASDAQ’s Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). Upon receiving such notice, we may be given 180 calendar days pursuant to NASDAQ’s Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

If NASDAQ delists our common stock from trading on its exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences including:

·	a limited availability of market quotations for our common stock;

·	a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and

·	a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Although publicly traded, the trading market in our common stock may be substantially less liquid than the average stock quoted on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and such low trading volume may adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Although our common stock has been listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market since April 22, 2010, the historical trading volume of our common stock has generally been very low. Limited trading volume will subject our shares of common stock to greater price volatility and may make it difficult for you to sell your shares of common stock at a price that is attractive to you.

The market price for our stock may be volatile.

The market price for our stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

·	actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;

·	changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;

·	conditions in the retail pharmacy markets;

·	changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other retail pharmacy operators;

·	announcements by us or our competitors of new products, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

·	addition or departure of key personnel;

·	fluctuations of exchange rates between RMB and the U.S. dollar;

·	intellectual property litigation; and

·	general economic or political conditions in China.

In addition, the securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our stock.

Techniques employed by manipulative short sellers in Chinese small-cap stocks may drive down the market price of our common stock.

Short selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own but rather has, supposedly, borrowed from a third party with the intention of buying identical securities back at a later date to return to the lender. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is therefore in the short seller’s best interests for the price of the stock to decline, many short sellers (sometime known as “disclosed shorts”) publish, or arrange for the publication of, negative opinions regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects in order to create negative market momentum and generate profits for themselves after selling a stock short. While traditionally these disclosed shorts were limited in their ability to access mainstream business media or to otherwise create negative market rumors, the rise of the Internet and technological advancements regarding document creation, videotaping and publication by weblog (“blogging”) have allowed many disclosed shorts to publicly attack a company’s credibility, strategy and veracity by means of so-called research reports that mimic the type of investment analysis performed by large Wall Street firm and independent research analysts. These short attacks have, in the past, led to selling of shares in the market, on occasion in large scale and broad base. Issuers with business operations based in the PRC and who have limited trading volumes and are susceptible to higher volatility levels than U.S. domestic large-cap stocks can be particularly vulnerable to such short attacks.

These short seller publications are not regulated by any governmental, self-regulatory organization or other official authority in the U.S., are not subject to the certification requirements imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Regulation AC (Regulation Analyst Certification) and, accordingly, the opinions they express may be based on distortions of actual facts or, in some cases, fabrications of facts. In light of the limited risks involved in publishing such information, and the enormous profit that can be made from running just one successful short attack, unless the short sellers become subject to significant penalties, it is more likely than not that disclosed shorts will continue to issue such reports.

While we intend to strongly defend our public filings against any such short seller attacks, oftentimes we are constrained, either by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law (often called “Anti-SLAPP statutes”), or issues of commercial confidentiality, in the manner in which we can proceed against the relevant short seller. You should be aware that in light of the relative freedom to operate that such persons enjoy – oftentimes blogging from outside the U.S. with little or no assets or identity requirements – should we be targeted for such an attack, our stock will likely suffer from a temporary, or possibly long term, decline in market price should the rumors created not be dismissed by market participants.

Volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation

The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. As an illustration of such volatility, the closing price of our common stock during the 52 weeks preceding the date of this report ranged from a low of $0.95 to a high of $2.15. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources.

Our officers and directors own a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock, which will enable them to influence many significant corporate actions and in certain circumstances may prevent a change in control that would otherwise be beneficial to our shareholders.

As of June 22, 2012, our directors and executive officers collectively controlled approximately 45.80% of our outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on all corporate actions. These stockholders, acting together, could have a substantial impact on matters requiring the vote of the shareholders, including the election of our directors and most of our corporate actions. This control could delay, defer or prevent others from initiating a potential merger, takeover or other change in our control, even if these actions would benefit our shareholders and us. This control could adversely affect the voting and other rights of our other shareholders and could depress the market price of our common stock.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.

Our bylaws contain specific provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders, and we are prepared to give such indemnification to our directors and officers to the extent provided by Nevada law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.

Legislative actions, higher insurance costs and potential new accounting pronouncements may impact our future financial position and results of operations.

There have been regulatory changes, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and there may potentially be new accounting pronouncements or additional regulatory rulings that will have an impact on our future financial position and results of operations. In addition, insurers are likely to increase premiums as a result of high claims rates over the past several years, which we expect will increase our premiums for insurance policies. These and other potential changes could materially increase the expenses we report under generally accepted accounting principles, and adversely affect our operating results.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

We are subject to reporting obligations under the U.S. securities laws. The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company's internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. We reported certain material weaknesses involving control activities, specifically control deficiency over accounting and finance personnel, in light of the continuing lack of sufficient experience by our accounting staff in U.S. GAAP-based reporting and SEC rules and regulations. Such material weaknesses were noted for our fiscal years ended March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, based on factors including: (i) the number of adjustments proposed by our independent auditors during our quarterly review and annual audit processes; (ii) the significance of the audit adjustments impact on the overall financial statements; (iii) how appropriately we complied with U.S. GAAP on transactions; and (iv) how accurately we prepared supporting information to provide to our independent auditors on a quarterly and annual basis. As such, we did not maintain effective controls and did not implement adequate and proper supervisory review to ensure that significant internal control deficiencies can be detected or prevented.

Although we believe that we have made significant efforts to address the foregoing weaknesses, we believe that our efforts to date have not yet been sufficient to fully remediate such weaknesses. We will continue our efforts during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, although there can be no assurance that compliance will be achieved in this time frame.

Our reporting obligations as a public company will place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. Effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our common stock. Furthermore, we anticipate that we will incur considerable costs and use significant management time and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to amended Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement (which disappears after one year). Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information and notice requirements. Of the 13,571,553 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 12, 2012, approximately 7,379,362 shares are, or will be, freely tradable without restriction, unless held by our affiliates as of such date. Any substantial sale of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. If our cofounders and service consultants were to sell their shares, they would be subject to volume and/or other restrictions imposed by Rule 144.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our corporate headquarters and 57 of our drugstores, as well as the offices of Shouantang Technology, Jiuying Pharmacy and Quannuo Technology, are located in Hangzhou. We also have three stores in Shanghai and four stores in Jiangshan. The land on which herbal plants for TCM are being cultivated is located in Lin’an approximately 30 miles from Hangzhou.

As of the date of this report, we have entered into 97 operating leases for our headquarters, offices for all of our Chinese subsidiaries and VIEs and retail spaces for our stores with various terms, periods and other rental provisions. All such leases are with third parties with the exception of our headquarters, which we are leasing from our chairman Mr. Lei Liu. We believe that our leased properties are well maintained and in good operating condition, and are sufficient for our current business operations. The leases do not contain any material escalating lease payments or contingent rental payment terms. See Note 6, “Long Term Deposits,” and Note 17, “Commitments and Contingencies” of the footnotes to our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, included elsewhere in this report.

We must negotiate with the landlords for an extension of the old leases or enter into new leases upon their termination, and our landlords may request a rent increase. Under applicable PRC law, we have priority over other potential lessees with respect to the leased store space on the same terms. We also do not expect any significant difficulties in renewal of existing leases upon their expiration, where desired. Our community stores are normally relatively small in size and the facilities inside the store are easily movable. As a result, we do not expect our drugstore operations to be materially and adversely affected by any failure to renew or enter into new leases.

We are also leasing two pieces of land from The People’s Government of Qianhong Village, and have entered into 30-year lease in connection therewith in February 2010. One piece of land is approximately 4.6 acres and is zoned for industrial use, and the other is approximately 48.6 acres of forestry land. More than ten herb plants are currently being cultivated on both pieces of land. The lease amount for the land was prepaid in full in May 2010. See Note 7, “ Other Noncurrent Assets,” and Note 17, “Commitments and Contingencies,” of the footnotes to our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, included elsewhere in this report.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Except as described below, we know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our company.

On December 8, 2009, Jiuzhou Pharmacy filed suit against The Ventana Group, LLC and Michael Hom in the California Superior Court for the County of San Mateo (Case Number CV490272), alleging breach of contract of an agreement entered into with the defendants in 2008 and seeking damages of $25,000. The suit was subsequently amended to remove Mr. Hom as a defendant. In May 2010, Jiuzhou Pharmacy sought for default judgment against the remaining defendant. On July 14, 2010, a default judgment was entered in favor of Jiuzhou Pharmacy.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Description of Business” sections and elsewhere in this report. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “predict” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bound of our knowledge of our business, our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these statements. Factors that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this report. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

Our financial statements are prepared in US$ and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. See “Exchange Rates” below for information concerning the exchanges rates at which Renminbi (“RMB”) were translated into US$ at various pertinent dates and for pertinent periods.

Overview

We are a retailer and wholesale distributor of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products typically found in a retail pharmacy in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). Prior to acquiring Jiuxin Medicine in August 2011 we were primarily a retail pharmacy operator. Our drugstores provide customers with a wide variety of medicinal products, including prescription and OTC drugs, nutritional supplements, TCM products, personal care products, family care products, medical devices, as well as convenience products including consumable, seasonal and promotional items. In addition to these products, we have licensed doctors of both western medicine and TCM onsite for consultation, examination and treatment of common ailments at scheduled hours. Since May 2010, our retail business also includes an online drugstore that sells non-prescription OTC drugs and nutritional supplements.

In addition to our retail business, we operate a wholesale business distributing TCM herbs that we have been cultivating, and, through Jiuxin Medicine, third-party pharmaceutical products (similar to those we carry in our own pharmacies) primarily to trading companies throughout China.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect: (i) the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities; (ii) the disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each reporting period; and (iii) the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during each reporting period. We continually evaluate these estimates based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and reasonable assumptions, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates.

We believe that any reasonable deviation from those judgments and estimates would not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. To the extent that the estimates used differ from actual results, however, adjustments to the statement of operations and corresponding balance sheet accounts would be necessary. These adjustments would be made in future financial statements.

When reading our financial statements, you should consider: (i) our critical accounting policies; (ii) the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies; and (iii) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. We have not made any material changes in the methodology used in these accounting policies during the past eighteen months.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from sales of prescription medicine at the drugstores is recognized when the prescription is filled and the customer picks up and pays for the prescription.

Revenue from sales of other merchandise at the drugstores is recognized at the point of sale, which is when the customer pays for and receives the merchandise.

Revenue from medical services (which is nominal) is recognized after the service has been rendered to the customer.

Revenue from sales of merchandise to non-retail customers is recognized when the following conditions are met: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (sales agreements and customer purchase orders are used to determine the existence of an arrangement); 2) delivery of goods has occurred and risks and benefits of ownership have been transferred, which is when the goods are received by the customer at its designated location in accordance with the sales terms; 3) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is probable. Historically, sales returns have been immaterial.

Our revenue is net of value added tax (“VAT”) collected on behalf of tax authorities in respect of the sale of merchandise. VAT collected from customers, net of VAT paid for purchases, is recorded as a liability in the balance sheet until it is paid to the tax authorities.

Vendor allowances

We account for vendor allowances according to the accounting standard, Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor, and by Reseller to Sales Incentives Offered to Consumers by Manufacturers. Vendor allowances reduce the carrying value of inventories and subsequently transferred to cost of goods sold when the inventories are sold, unless those allowances are specifically identified as reimbursements for advertising, promotion and other services, in which case they are recognized as a reduction of the related advertising and promotion costs.

Slotting allowances are a major portion of total allowances. With slotting allowances, vendors reimburse us for the cost of placing new products on our shelves. We have no obligation or commitment to keep any such products on our shelves for a minimum period.

A small portion of vendor allowance also includes advertising and promotion allowances for the promotion of vendors' products in our stores. The promotion may be any combination of a temporary price reduction or a feature in print ads.

Depreciation and Amortization

We depreciate our equipment assets using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We make estimates of the useful lives of the equipment (including the salvage values), in order to determine the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded during any reporting period. We amortize leasehold improvements of our retail drugstores and other business premises over the shorter of five years or lease term. A majority of our leases have a five-year term. We estimate the useful lives of our other property and equipment at the time we acquire the assets based on our historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipated technological and other changes. If technological changes were to occur more rapidly than anticipated or in a different form than anticipated, we may shorten the useful lives assigned to these assets as appropriate, which will result in the recognition of increased depreciation and amortization expense in future periods. There was no change to the estimated useful lives and salvage values during the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate our long lived tangible and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability is measured by comparing the asset’s net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. No significant indication of impairment noted as of March 31, 2012.

Inventories

We state our inventory at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the “first in first out” method. Market is the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. We carry out physical inventory counts on a monthly basis at each store and distribution location to ensure that the amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements at each reporting period are properly stated and valued. We record write-downs to inventory for shrinkage losses and damaged merchandise that are identified during the inventory counts. The inventory write downs for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 have been immaterial.

Results of Operations

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Revenue. We had two revenue streams for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012: (i) store and online retail sales of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products, and (ii) wholesale distribution of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products, as well as our self-cultivated TCM herbs, primarily to third-party pharmaceutical trading companies. Included in our wholesale revenue are: (i) wholesales of pharmaceutical and healthcare products that we purchased from third-party manufacturers or suppliers, (ii) wholesales of our cultivated TCM herbs, (iii) direct group sales or sales to non-distributors. Although the overall gross profit of our wholesale business is comparatively lower than that of our retail business, the volume of our wholesale business is significant.

Our total revenue for fiscal 2012 increased by $24,383,406, or 34.8%, from the prior fiscal year’s revenue. Such increase was primarily due to the following reasons:

(1)

During fiscal 2012, we opened several new “Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy” drugstores and also started to expand our online drug sales. Our retail store count increased to 61 as of March 31, 2012, from 53 stores a year ago. The increased number of stores brought new opportunities to sell our products and services to retail customers. Retail sales accounted for about 70% of our total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2012. Same-store sales decreased by approximately $7.0 million or 10.1%, while our new stores contributed approximately $3.1 million to our revenue. We expect same-store sales will continue to decline as the frequency of government-mandated price controls and the number of drugs subject to price controls continue to rise and, to a lesser extent, with the shift of our group sales to our wholesale business.

(2)

We started our wholesale business after acquiring Jiuxin Medicine in August 2011, through which we have been distributing third-party pharmaceutical and healthcare products to pharmaceutical trading companies and other group customers. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we also began distributing the TCM herbs that we have been cultivating, also to third-party pharmaceutical trading companies. Our wholesale business increased rapidly during fiscal 2012 because we introduced very competitive pricing to customers to stimulate sales. Sales from the wholesale business accounted for about 30% of our total revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

The revenue fluctuation between fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 reflected the following combined factors:

(1)

Revenue from ”Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy” stores decreased by approximately $3.9 million or 6% year over year, mainly due to two reasons. Since the second quarter of 2011, the Hangzhou government has been gradually restricting retail drugstores within the city from organizing large-scale marketing promotions on the streets to give further rebate or discount to customers making purchases with government-sponsored medical insurance card. Our promotional activities were curtailed accordingly, which impacted our retail sales revenue, especially from sales of certain prescription drugs covered by the medical insurance card. In addition, the government subjected more drugs to price control in October 2011, which caused us to reduce prices for some of the affected drugs and stop carrying others at our pharmacies, which especially impacted our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

(2)

The decrease in retail revenue was also affected by the relocation of three retail stores due to building demolishment ordered by the local government. As a result of the time lost to relocating to and readying the new store locations, sales from these three stores were down for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

(3)

Another factor for the decreased retail revenue is the shift of group sales from Jiuzhou Pharmacy’s retail business to Jiuxin Medicine’s wholesales business. We originally recorded group sales under Jiuzhou Pharmacy’s retail system in the prior year. But starting in August 2011, such sales have been recorded under Jiuxin Medicine’s wholesale system because we believe group sales are essentially wholesale in nature. Accordingly, $15.5 million in group sales that would have otherwise been recorded under Jiuzhou Pharmacy have now been recorded under Jiuxin Medicine, including $8.9 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Such internal re-allocation of sales revenue between our retail and wholesale businesses affected the comparison of our retail sales for fiscal 2012 versus fiscal 2011, but has no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(4)	The decrease in retail sales was also affected by our decision to stop selling Chinese white liquor during fiscal 2012. We had $3.4 million in liquor revenue in the last two quarters of fiscal 2011, but report no liquor revenue for the entire fiscal 2012.

(5)

For fiscal 2012, we reported online sales of approximately $1.09 million under Quannuo Technology, primarily from selling OTC drugs and nutritional supplement products to individual customers. Online sales are opening a new opportunity to expand our business. Our online sales are included and reported under our retail business line.

(6)

The acquisition of Jiuxin Medicine in August 2011 has enabled us to sell pharmaceutical and other healthcare products to wholesale and group customers throughout China, primarily third-party trading companies. As a drug wholesaler, Jiuxin Medicine strives to increase its volume to better gain leverage when negotiating prices with suppliers. In order to expand our wholesale business in a competitive environment, we have had to lower our selling price at times, but were in turn able to fulfill several large sales orders. In addition, we have put much effort in developing our wholesale customer base and adjusting our wholesale product offerings. As a result, and coupled with the shifting of $15.5 million in group sales from our Jiuzhou Pharmacy’s retail business to Jiuxin Medicine’s wholesale business discussed above (including $8.9 million during the last quarter of fiscal 2012), our wholesale revenue increased rapidly in a relatively short span of time, and accounted for approximately 30% of our total revenue for fiscal 2012.

(7)	For the year ended March 31, 2012, we also reported $4.2 million in revenue from a new line of wholesale business - selling our self-cultivated TCM herbs. We began harvesting the plants at the end 2011, and selling them in bulk to third-party wholesalers during the fourth quarter of 2012.

The primary reason for the 6% decline in our retail revenue from fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2012 is the almost 63%, or $13,318,909, drop in retail revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period last fiscal year. Such decline is primarily attributed to the government subjecting additional drugs to price control in October 2011, which affected some of our selling prices. In response, we reduced our prices in some instances and ceased carrying products in other instances. The significance of this decline has offset all previous quarterly increases during fiscal 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we also fully shifted our entire group sales previously recorded in our retail business to our wholesale business. In addition, our three store relocations during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 resulted in a $1.5 million period-over-period decline in sales. Another reason for the decline of our fourth quarter retail sales on a year-to-year basis was the termination of our white liquor sales in fiscal 2012, which contributed $3.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Despite the significant decline of our retail sales, however, we were able to make up lost grounds with our entry into, and expansion of, the wholesale business. As a result, our overall revenue for the year ended March 31, 2012 increased from the prior year, and we believe we are in position to continue to grow our wholesale business to hedge against any further decline to our retail business, especially if Jiuxin Medicine can become qualified to supply to hospital-affiliated pharmacies. We intend, however, to remain competitive with our retail business, and plan to open more upscale, service-oriented pharmacies to further differentiate ourselves from our competitors.

Revenue from Wholesale Business

The primary increase in our wholesale business was a result of our fourth quarter revenue of $17.3 million that constituted 61% of our wholesale business for the year. This increase was a result of the sales of our self-cultivated TCM herbs of approximately $4.2 million, and $8.9 million of group sales that are now being handled through our wholesale business. Part of our shift to wholesale business is in anticipation of capturing opportunities that may be created by upcoming medical reforms aimed at hospitals. Coupled with new constraints on retail pharmacies (such as the Hangzhou government’s restriction on promotional activities), we hope to transform ourselves into a combined retail and wholesale operation in order to give us more operating flexibility and reduce our reliance on one primary revenue source.

The significant decline in our retail business as discussed earlier has also reinforced our decision to shift some of our operating focus to our wholesales business, from which we may see bigger future growth potentials, especially if Jiuxin Medicine can become qualified to supply to hospital-affiliated pharmacies. In order to do so, Jiuxin Medicine must rapidly scale the volume of its business. Accordingly, despite the good start of our wholesale business in fiscal 2012, our focus in the near term will be to continue building Jiuxin Medicine’s wholesale business volume.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased by $6,420,707 or 30.4% from a year ago mainly due to increase in sales. Our gross margin of 29.2% is a slight decrease from 30.2% a year ago mainly due to lower profit margin from Jiuxin Medicine’s wholesale activities. As our wholesale business continues to grow, we anticipate that our overall gross profit margin may continue to decline.

The gross margin of our retail business was, on average, approximately 33.0% and 30.2% during the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The gross margin, on average, of our wholesale business was 20.4% and 0%, respectively. Our retail gross margin during the fourth quarter was 31% as a result of the price controls placed on certain products by the government. Our ability to maintain our margin will depend on the future regulations that the government places on retail pharmacies.

The gross margin of our wholesale business improved during the fourth quarter as a result of several factors including the $4.2 million of TCM sales as a result of cultivating our herbs and the previously mentioned group transfer of group sales to from our retail pharmacies to our wholesale business. The margin for our harvested TCM sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 was approximately 89% while group sales typically reflect the margins we have in our retail business.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Our sales and marketing expenses increased by $3,659,495 or 75.6% from a year ago as a result of increased rent, labor amortization costs, and promotion activities for our online pharmacy and wholesale business. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of our revenue increased to 9.0%, from 6.9% a year ago. We expect that our sales and marketing expenses will increase as we continue to expand our store network, online pharmacy and wholesale business.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $3,858,446 or 81.7% from a year ago. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of our revenue increased to 9.1% from 6.8% for the year ended March 31, 2011. The increase in absolute dollars as well as a percentage of revenue related to professional fees incurred as a U.S. publicly traded company, increased salaries, and administration cost related to new business such as Jiuxin Medicine. As we continue to open drugstores, further develop our infrastructure, and incur expenses related to being a U.S. public company, we anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars as well as a percentage of total revenues.

Income from Operations. As a result of increase in both sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses, our income from operations decreased by $1,097,234 or 9.5% from a year ago. Our operating margin for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 11.1% and 16.5%, respectively.

Income Taxes. Our income tax expense decreased by $874,980 from a year ago, as a result of lower taxable income and an income-tax waiver granted to Qianhong Agriculture.

Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, our net income decreased by $291,979 from a year ago.

Liquidity

In summary, our cash flows for the periods indicated are as follows:

	March 31,
	2012			2011
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities		19,967,243			(5,183,748	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(14,862,667	)		(5,250,092	)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities		(7,934,286	)		15,770,507

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, cash provided by operating activities amounted to $19,967,243, as opposed to $5,183,748 used in operating activities a year ago. The change is primarily attributable to increases in accounts payable of $14,716,869, increases in advances to suppliers of $11,310,036 and increase in other current assets of $12,787,955, offset by a $13,977,788 decrease in trade accounts receivable and a decrease of $3,997,040 in other payables and accrued liabilities.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, net cash used in investing activities amounted to $14,862,667, as compared to net cash of $5,250,092 used in investing activities a year ago. The change is primarily attributed to increase in purchasing properties and equipments of $4,472,129, increase in payments on leasehold improvements and construction-in progress, and increase in cash of $2,701,358 used in acquiring Jiuxin Medicine.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, net cash used in financing activities amounted to $7,934,286, as opposed to $15,770,507 provided by financing activities a year ago. The change was a result of the $15.7 million in net proceeds that we raised in a public offering of our common stock in April 2010 and payments of notes of $8,230,193.

As of March 31, 2012, we had cash of $3,833,216. As of March 31, 2012, we had $47,848,062 in total current assets and $22,575,269 in total current liabilities, which resulted in a net working capital of $25,272,793.

Capital Resources

In April 2010, we completed a public offering of 3.5 million shares of our common stock at a price of $5.00 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $17.5 million and net proceeds of $15.7 million after deducting commissions and all other expenses. We have an obligation to contribute $9 million to complete a registered capital requirement for Shouantang Technology by July 2012, but we are currently applying to reduce that amount. We believe that with our projected working capital for the next twelve months, we will be able to meet our obligations for the next twelve months. However, if we are to acquire additional businesses or further expand our operations, we may need additional capital.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Contractual Obligations

When we open store locations, we typically enter into lease agreements that are generally between four to five years. Our commitments for minimum rental payments under our leases for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

Years ending March 31,
2013	$	4,253,130
2014		3,732,591
2015		3,275,615
2016		1,913,631
2017		1,003,128
Thereafter		3,538,034

Logistics Services Commitments

We terminated our agreement with Yingte Logistics in April 2011, and now use Jiuxin Medicine’s facility as our distribution center. Jiuxin Medicine previously outsourced its delivery functions to Yingte Logistics, but such arrangement expired on March 31, 2012. Since then, Jiuxin Medicine has been using its own vehicles and staff to deliver our products.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any outstanding financial guarantees or commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Exchange Rates

Our PRC subsidiaries and VIEs maintain their books and records RMB, the lawful currency of the PRC. In general, for consolidation purposes, we translate their assets and liabilities into U.S. Dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of income is translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation of their financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.

Until July 21, 2005, RMB had been pegged to USD at the rate of RMB8.30: USD$1.00. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government reformed the exchange rate system into a managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. In addition, the exchange rate of RMB to USD was adjusted to RMB8.11: USD$1.00 as of July 21, 2005. The People’s Bank of China announces the closing price of a foreign currency such as USD$ traded against RMB in the inter-bank foreign exchange market after the closing of the market on each working day, which will become the unified exchange rate for the trading against RMB on the following working day. The daily trading price of USD against RMB in the inter-bank foreign exchange market is allowed to float within a band of ±1% around the unified exchange rate published by the People’s Bank of China. This quotation of exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the Bank of China or other institutions required submitting a payment application form together with invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into U.S. Dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements or otherwise stated in this report were as follows:

	March 31, 2012	March 31, 2011
Balance sheet items, except for the registered and paid-up capital, as of end of period/year	USD1:RMB 0.1581	USD1:RMB 0.1527

Amounts included in the statement of operations, statement of changes in stockholders' equity and statement of cash flows for the period/ year ended	USD1:RMB 0.1561	USD1:RMB 0.14909

No representation is made that RMB amounts have been, or would be, converted into US$ at the above rates.

Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations to date.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of March 31, 2012, the end of the fiscal year covered by this report, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective at the reasonable assurance level. Such conclusion is due to the presence of material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as described below. Management anticipates that our disclosure controls and procedures will remain ineffective until such material weakness are remediated.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). 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 our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2012 due to the following material weaknesses:

Accounting and Finance Personnel Weaknesses - As noted in Item 9A of our annual reports on Form 10-K for both fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, management concluded that in light of the inexperience of our accounting staff with respect to the requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting and SEC rules and regulations, we did not maintain effective controls and did not implement adequate and proper supervisory review to ensure that significant internal control deficiencies can be detected or prevented.

Management’s assessment of the control deficiency over accounting and finance personnel as of March 31, 2012 considered the same factors, including:

a.	the number of adjustments proposed by our independent auditors during our quarterly review and annual audit processes;

b.	the significance of the audit adjustments impact on the overall financial statements;

c.	how appropriately we complied with U.S. GAAP on transactions; and

d.	how accurately we prepared supporting information to provide to our independent auditors on a quarterly and annual basis.

Based on the above factors, management concluded that the control deficiency over accounting and finance personnel should continue to be a material weakness as of March 31, 2012, as our accounting staff continues to lack sufficient U.S. GAAP experience and requires further substantial training.

Subsequent to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, our management identified the steps it believes are necessary to address the weaknesses described above, and had expected that we would satisfactorily address the control deficiencies and weaknesses relating to these matters by the end of our fiscal year ending March 31, 2011. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, we hired additional accounting staff, and during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we engaged an outside consultant. Although we believe that we have made significant progress to address the weaknesses described above, we believe that our efforts to date have not yet been sufficient to fully remediate such weaknesses. We will continue our efforts during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, although there can be no assurance that compliance will be achieved in this time frame.

This report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that occurred during the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Controls

Management does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

None.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Set forth below are our related party transactions since April 1, 2010:

Our Officers and Directors’ Relationship with Us, Our Subsidiaries and VIE

As described in “Business – Our Corporate History and Structure” above, we control HJ Group through contractual arrangements between Jiuxin Management, our wholly-owned subsidiary, and each of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Medical and Jiuzhou Clinic. HJ Group is owned by our three cofounders, Lei Liu, Li Qi and Chong’an Jin, each of whom also holds positions as our executive officers and/or directors. Because the three cofounders also collectively own a substantial amount of our issued and outstanding common stock, we believe that our interests are aligned with those of HJ Group and our cofounders. However, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure – Our contractual arrangements with HJ Group, Jiuying Pharmacy and our cofounders may not be as effective in providing control over these entities as direct ownership,” and “Management members of HJ Group and Jiuying Pharmacy have potential conflicts of interest with us, which may adversely affect our business and your ability for recourse.”

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

China Jo-Jo Drugstore, Inc. and subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Jo-Jo Drugstore, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the periods ended March 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 the Company as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the periods ended March 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(1)

Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service have been under the common control of the Owners since their respective establishment dates, pursuant to agreements amongst the Owners to vote their interests in concert as memorialized in a voting agreement. Based on such voting agreement, the Company has determined that common control exists among these three companies in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. Operationally, the Owners have operated these three companies in conjunction with one another since each company’s respective establishment date. Shanghai Lydia, Shanghai Zhongxing and Jiuxin Medicine are also deemed under the common control of the Owners as they are each a subsidiary of Jiuzhou Pharmacy.

F-8

(2)	To comply with certain foreign ownership restrictions of pharmacy and medical clinic operators, Jiuxin Management entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service on August 1, 2009. These contractual arrangements are comprised of five agreements: consulting services agreement, operating agreement, equity pledge agreement, voting rights agreement and option agreement. As a result of these agreements, which obligate Jiuxin Management to absorb all of the risks of loss from the activities of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service, and enable the Company (through Jiuxin Management) to receive all of their expected residual returns, the Company accounts for all three companies (as well as the two subsidiaries of Jiuzhou Pharmacy) as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under the accounting standards of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Accordingly, the financial statements of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service, as well as the subsidiaries and entity under the control of Jiuzhou Pharmacy (Shanghai Lydia, Jiuxin Medicine and Shanghai Zhongxing), are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company.

(3)	To comply with foreign ownership restrictions, the Company holds 49% of the equity interest (39% through Shouantang Technology and 10% through Jiuxin Management). The remaining 51% is held by the Owners but controlled by the Company through contractual arrangements between Jiuxin Management and Jiuying Pharmacy entered into on May 15, 2012. Such contractual arrangements are identical to those that Jiuxin Management entered into with Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service. As such, the Company also accounts for Jiuying Pharmacy as a VIE and consolidates its financial statements into those of the Company.

Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and VIEs. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation.

Consolidation of variable interest entities

In accordance with accounting standards regarding consolidation of variable interest entities, VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.

The Company has concluded, based on the contractual arrangements, that Jiuzhou Pharmacy (including its subsidiaries and controlled entities), Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service are each a VIE and that the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Jiuxin Management, absorbs a majority of the risk of loss from the activities of these companies, thereby enabling the Company, through Jiuxin Management, to receive a majority of their respective expected residual returns.

Additionally, as Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service are under common control, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the transactions had occurred retroactively as to the beginning of the reporting period of these consolidated financial statements.

Control and common control is defined under the accounting standards as “an individual, enterprise, or immediate family members who hold more than 50 percent of the voting ownership interest of each entity.” Because the Owners collectively own 100% of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service, and have agreed to vote their interests in concert since the establishment of each of these three companies as memorialized the Voting Rights Proxy Agreement, the Company believes that the Owners collectively have control and common control of the three companies. Accordingly, the Company believes that Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service were constructively held under common control by Jiuxin Management as of the time the Contractual Agreements were entered into, establishing Jiuxin Management as their primary beneficiary. Jiuxin Management, in turn, is owned by Renovation, which is owned by the Company.

F-9

Although the Company has determined that the accounting standards regarding consolidation of VIEs do not provide for retroactive accounting treatment, Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service in substance were controlled by the Owners on September 9, 2003, October 10, 2003, and November 2, 2005, the establishment dates of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service, respectively. Such common control conditions resulted in the share exchange transaction to be a capital transaction in substance, reflected as a recapitalization, and the Company has accordingly recorded the consolidation of Renovation at its historical cost.

Risks and Uncertainties

The operations of the Company are located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies or interpretations with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. Although the Company has not experienced losses from these situations and believes that it is in compliance with existing laws and regulations including its organization and structure disclosed in Note 1, this may not be indicative of future results.

The Company has significant cash deposits with suppliers in order to obtain and maintain inventory. The Company’s ability to obtain products and maintain inventory at existing and new locations is dependent upon its ability to post and maintain significant cash deposits with its suppliers. In the PRC, many vendors are unwilling to extend credit terms for product sales that require cash deposits to be made. The Company does not generally receive interest on any of its supplier deposits, and such deposits are subject to loss as a result of the creditworthiness or bankruptcy of the party who holds such funds, as well as the risk from illegal acts such as conversion, fraud, theft or dishonesty associated with the third party. If these circumstances were to arise, the Company would find it difficult or impossible, due to the unpredictability of legal proceedings in China, to recover all or a portion of the amount on deposit with its vendors or landlords.

Members of the current management team own controlling interests in the Company and are also the Owners of the VIEs in the PRC. The Company only controls the VIEs through contractual arrangements which obligate it to absorb the risk of loss and to receive the residual expected returns. As such, the controlling shareholders of the Company and the VIEs could cancel these agreements or permit them to expire at the end of the agreement terms, as a result of which the Company would not retain control of the VIEs.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. The significant estimates made in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to the assessment of the carrying values of accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, and fair value of purchase option derivative liability. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

F-10

Fair values of financial instruments

The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for receivables, payables, notes payable and short-term loans qualify as financial instruments and are reasonable estimates of fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization, and because of their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

·	Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

·	Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

·	Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

The excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if there are indications of impairment. The Company has elected to early adopt the provisions of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-08. Testing Goodwill for Impairment. Under this ASU, The Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill test. Calculating the fair value of the reporting units requires significant estimates and assumption by management. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, there is an indication that the reporting unit goodwill may be impaired and a second step of the impairment test is performed to determine the amount of the impairment to be recognized, if any. After evaluating all qualitative factors, the Company has determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinitive lived intangible assets, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount, and therefore no impairment was recorded.

Intangibles other than goodwill

Intangible assets that are acquired individually or as part of a group of assets, are initially recorded at their fair value. The cost of a group of assets acquired in a transaction is allocated to the individual assets based on their relative fair values.

The estimated useful lives of the Company’s intangible assets are as follows:

		Estimated Useful Life
Goodwill		Indefinite
Licenses and permits		Indefinite
Software		3 years

The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired.

There was no indication of goodwill or other intangible impairment during the year ended March 31, 2012.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from sales of prescription medicine at the drugstores is recognized when the prescription is filled and the customer picks up and pays for the prescription.

F-11

Revenue from sales of other merchandise at the drugstores is recognized at the point of sale, which is when the customer pays for and receives the merchandise.

Revenue from medical services is recognized after the service has been rendered to the customer.

Revenue from sales of merchandise to non-retail customers is recognized when the following conditions are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (sales agreements and customer purchase orders are used to determine the existence of an arrangement); (2) delivery of goods has occurred and risks and benefits of ownership have been transferred, which is when the goods are received by the customer at its designated location in accordance with the sales terms; (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is probable. Historically, sales returns have been de minimis.

The Company’s revenue is net of value added tax (“VAT”) collected on behalf of PRC tax authorities in respect to the sales of merchandise. VAT collected from customers, net of VAT paid for purchases, is recorded as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets until it is paid to the relevant PRC tax authorities.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash on deposit with banks and credit and debit card sales transactions which settle within seven days of the fiscal year-end. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Restricted cash

The Company’s restricted cash consists of cash in a bank as security for its notes payable. The Company has notes payable outstanding with the bank and is required to keep certain amounts on deposit that are subject to withdrawal restrictions. The notes payable are generally short term in nature due to their short maturity period of six to nine months; thus, restricted cash is classified as a current asset.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable represent amounts due from banks relating to retail sales that are paid or settled by the customers’ debit or credit cards, amounts due from government social security bureaus relating to retail sales of drugs, prescription medicine, and medical services that are paid or settled by the customers’ medical insurance cards, and amounts due from non-retail customers for sales of merchandise.

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed. The Company uses the aging method to estimate the allowance for anticipated uncollectible receivable balances. Under the aging method, bad debt percentages determined by management, based on historical experience and current economic climate, are applied to customers’ balances categorized by the number of months the underlying invoices have remained outstanding. At each reporting period, the allowance balance is adjusted to reflect the amount computed as a result of the aging method. When facts subsequently become available to indicate that the allowance provided requires an adjustment, a corresponding adjustment is made to the allowance account as a change in estimate. The ultimate collection of the Company’s accounts receivable may take one year. As an additional procedure, delinquent account balances are reserved after management determines that the likelihood of collection is not probable, and known bad debts are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. For the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, $471,334 and $393,987 in accounts receivable were written off directly while $297,321 and $0 were reserved in allowance for doubtful accounts, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first in first out (FIFO) method. Market is the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. The Company carries out physical inventory counts on a monthly basis at each store and warehouse location. Self-cultivated herbs are recorded at its purchase price, which includes direct cost such as seed selection, fertilizer, labor costs and contract fee that are spent in growing herbs on the leased farmland, and indirect cost which includes amortization of farmland development cost. All the costs are accumulated until the time of harvest and then allocated to harvested herbs upon sales. The Company periodically reviews its inventory and records write-downs to inventories for shrinkage losses and damaged merchandise that are identified. Historically, these amounts have not been material to the consolidated financial statements.

F-12

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, taking into consideration the assets’ estimated residual value. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of lease term or remaining lease period of the underlying assets. Following are the estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment:

	Estimated Useful Life
Leasehold improvements	3-10 years
Motor vehicles	5 years
Office equipment & furniture	3-5 years
Buildings	35 years

Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred. Major additions and betterment to property and equipment are capitalized.

Impairment of long lived assets

The Company evaluates long lived tangible and intangible assets for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability is measured by comparing the assets’ net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. There were no impairments of these assets as of March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Notes payable

During the normal course of business, the Company regularly issues bank acceptance bills as a payment method to settle outstanding accounts payables with various material suppliers. The Company records such bank acceptance bills as notes payables. Such notes payable are generally short term in nature due to their short maturity period of six to nine months.

Income taxes

The Company records income taxes pursuant to the accounting standards for income taxes. These standards require the recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consists of taxes currently due and the net change in deferred taxes. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s deferred tax asset amounted to $290,766 and $0, respectively.

The FASB’s accounting standards clarify the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions and prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The accounting standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. No significant penalties, uncertain tax provisions or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

F-13

All of the tax returns of the Company, since inception, are subject to examination by the tax authorities.

Value added tax

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value added tax (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products are sold in the PRC and are subject to a VAT on the gross sales price. The VAT rates range up to 17%, depending on the type of products sold. The VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing or acquiring its finished products. The Company recorded a VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the accompanying financial statements.

Stock based compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with the FASB’s accounting standards regarding accounting for stock-based compensation and accounting for equity instruments that are issued to other than employees for acquiring or in conjunction with selling goods or services. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably determinable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by these accounting standards. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

Advertising and promotion costs

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion costs amounted to $929,838 and $458,979 for years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Advertising and promotion costs consist primarily of print and television advertisements.

Pre-opening costs

Expenditures related to the opening of new drugstores, other than expenditures for property and equipment, are expensed as incurred.

Vendor allowances

The Company accounts for vendor allowances by reducing the carrying value of inventories that are subsequently transferred to cost of goods sold when the inventories are sold, unless those allowances are specifically identified as reimbursements for advertising, promotion and other services, in which case they are recognized as a reduction of the related advertising and promotion or other service costs.

The Company recognized vendor allowances of $704,125 and $414,365 in cost of goods sold for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Distribution costs

Distribution costs represent the costs of transporting merchandise from warehouse to stores. These costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing costs.

F-14

Operating leases

The Company leases premises for retail drugstores and offices under non-cancelable operating leases. Operating lease payments are expensed over the term of lease. A majority of the Company’s retail drugstore leases have a 3 to 10-year term with a renewal option upon the expiration of the lease. The Company has historically been able to renew a majority of its drugstores leases. Under the terms of the lease agreements, the Company has no legal or contractual asset retirement obligations at the end of the lease. Land leased from the government is amortized on a straight-line basis over a 30-year term.

Foreign currency translation

The Company uses the United States dollar (“U.S. dollars” or “USD”) for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s subsidiaries and VIEs maintain their books and records in their functional currency the Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of the PRC.

In general, for consolidation purposes, the Company translates the assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries and VIEs into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statements of income and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates.

Note 9 – TAXES

Income tax

The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled.

Entity		Income Tax Jurisdiction
Jo-Jo Drugstores		United States
Renovation		Hong Kong
All other entities		PRC

Jo-Jo Drugstores is incorporated in the U.S. and has incurred a net operating loss for income tax purposes for 2012 and 2011. As of March 31, 2012, the estimated net operating loss carry forwards for U.S. income tax purposes amounted to approximately $2,000,000 which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized by 2031. Management believes that the realization of the benefits arising from this loss appears to be uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses for U.S. income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% deferred tax asset valuation allowance at March 31, 2012 and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded. The valuation allowance at March 31, 2012 was $411,000. The net change in the valuation allowance was an increase of $134,000. The Company’s management reviews this valuation allowance periodically and makes adjustments as necessary.

Significant components of the income tax provision were as follows for the year ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

	For the years ended March 31,
	2012			2011
Current tax provision
Federal	$	-		$	-

Income from continuing operations before income taxes were allocated between the United States and foreign components for the year ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 as follows:

	For the years ended March 31,
	2012				2011
United States		$	(490,726	)		$	(718,167	)
Foreign			11,279,570				12,673,970
		$	10,788,844			$	11,955,803

F-18

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties, if any, as income tax expense. The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns. With few exceptions, the Company was subject to the U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years on or after 2007.

The Company’s subsidiaries and VIEs in China file income tax returns with both the state and local tax bureaus in the PRC. Such income tax returns are subject to examinations by these foreign tax authorities and have passed all examinations since each subsidiary’s and VIE’s inception date.

The following table reconciles the U.S. statutory tax rates with the Company's effective tax rate for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

	2012			2011
U.S. Statutory rates		34.0	%		34.0	%
Foreign income not recognized in the U.S.		(34.0	)		(34.0	)
China income taxes		25.0			25.0
Other (a)		(0.5	)		4.4
Effective tax rate		24.5	%		29.4	%

(a)

The (0.5)% for the year ended March 31, 2012 represents the combined effect of expenses incurred by the Company that were not deductible for PRC income tax and PRC income tax exemptions. The 4.4% for the year ended March 31, 2011 represents expenses incurred by the Company that were not deductible for PRC income tax.

The Company had cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries of approximately $32.6 million as of March 31, 2012, which are included in consolidated retained earnings and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in international operations. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. deferred taxes related to future repatriation of these earnings.

Value added tax

VAT on sales and on purchases amounted to $17,778,942 and $14,285,240 for the year ended March 31, 2012, and $11,451,967 and $8,230,455 for the year ended March 31, 2011, respectively.

Note 12 – PURCHASE OPTION DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

In connection with the public offering of the Company’s common stock that closed on April 28, 2010, the Company issued to its underwriters, Madison Williams and Company and Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, an option for $100 to purchase up to a total of 105,000 shares of common stock (3% of the shares sold in the public offering) at $6.25 per share (125% of the price of the shares sold in the public offering). The option is exercisable commencing on October 23, 2010 and expires on April 22, 2015.

The Company is treating the common shares underlying the option as a derivative liability as the strike price of the option is denominated in U.S. dollars, a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, the Chinese RMB. As a result, the option is not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of the option are recognized currently in earnings until such time as the option is exercised or expired.

On April 22, 2010, the issue date of the option, the Company classified the fair value of this option as a liability resulting in a decrease of additional paid-in capital of $402,451 and the establishment of a $402,451 in liability to recognize the option’s fair value. The Company recognized a gain of $118,807 from the change in fair value of the option liability for the year ended March 31, 2012.

F-20

This option does not trade in an active securities market, and as such, the Company estimates its fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (the “Black-Scholes Model”) on the date that the option was originally issued and as of March 31, 2012 using the following assumptions:

	Underwriter Purchase Option
	March 31,
	2012 (1)

Stock price		$	1.16
Exercise price		$	6.25
Annual dividend yield			0	%
Expected term (years)			3.05
Risk-free interest rate			0.51	%
Expected volatility			96.32	%

(1)

As of March 31, 2012, the option to purchase 105,000 shares of common stock had not been exercised.

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility. Historical volatility is computed using daily pricing observations for recent periods that correspond to the term of the option. The Company believes this method produces an estimate that is representative of future volatility over the expected term of this option. The expected life is based on the remaining term of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities according to the remaining term of the option.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the fair values of option liability are modeled using a series of techniques, including closed-form analytic formula such as the Black-Scholes Model, which does not entail material subjectivity because the methodology employed does not necessitate significant judgment, and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets.

The fair value of the 105,000 shares underlying the option outstanding as of March 31, 2012 was determined using the Black-Scholes Model, with certain inputs significant to the valuation methodology as level 2 inputs, and the Company recorded the change in fair value in earnings. As a result, the option liability is carried on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.

Note 13 – STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY

Common stock

On April 9, 2010, the Company affected a 1-for-2 reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and a proportional reduction of its authorized shares of common stock.

Statutory reserve

Statutory reserves represent restricted retained earnings. Based on their legal formation, the Company is required to set aside 10% of its net income as reported in their statutory accounts on an annual basis to the Statutory Surplus Reserve Fund (the “Reserve Fund”). Once the total amount set aside in the Reserve Fund reaches 50% of the entity’s registered capital, further appropriations become discretionary. The Reserve Fund can be used to increase the entity’s registered capital upon approval by relevant government authorities or eliminate its future losses under PRC GAAP upon a resolution by its board of directors. The Reserve Fund is not distributable to shareholders, as cash dividend or otherwise, except in the event of liquidation.

Appropriations to the Reserve Fund are accounted for as a transfer from unrestricted earnings to statutory reserves. During the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not make appropriations to the statutory reserves. The other subsidiaries were still in the development stage and had not allocated any contribution to the statutory surplus reserve fund.

There are no legal requirements in the PRC to fund the Reserve Fund by transfer of cash to any restricted accounts, and the Company does not do so.

Note 14 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

F-22

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of the FASB’s related accounting standard. This standard requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution, but includes vested restricted stocks and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.

The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation:

	Years Ended
	March 31,
	2012		2011
Net income attributable to controlling interest	$	8,141,626	$	8,432,458
Weighted average shares used in basic computation		13,568,481		13,254,792
Diluted effect of restricted shares		1,514		-
Weighted average shares used in diluted computation		13,569,995		13,254,792
Earnings per share – Basic:
Net income before noncontrolling interest	$	0.60	$	0.64
Add: Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest	$	0.00	$	-
Net income attributable to controlling interest	$	0.60	$	0.64
Earnings per share – Diluted:
Net income before noncontrolling interest	$	0.60	$	0.64
Add: Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest	$	0.00	$	-
Net income attributable to controlling interest	$	0.60	$	0.64

For the year ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 105,000 shares underlying outstanding purchase options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as they are anti-dilutive.

Note 15 – SEGMENTS

The Company operates within two main reportable segments: retail drugstores and drug wholesale. The retail drugstores segment sells prescription and over-the-counter medicines, TCM, dietary supplement, medical devices, and sundry items to retail customers. The drug wholesale segment supplies the retail drugstores and sells prescription and over-the-counter medicines, TCM, dietary supplement, medical devices, Chinese white liquor and sundry items in batch to other drug vendors and hospitals. The Company’s herbal plant cultivation is included in the wholesale segment. The Company is also involved in online pharmacy and clinic services that do not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments and are included in the retail segment.

Both segments' accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before interest and income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses.

The Company's reportable business segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. Each segment is managed separately because they require different operation and markets to distinct classes of customers.
