PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

China Jo-Jo Drugstores, Inc. (the “Company”) is primarily an operator of retail pharmacies in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). We currently have 55 locations under three brands: 53 “Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy” stores and one “Quannuo Grand Pharmacy” store in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, and one “Lydia Grand Pharmacy” store in Shanghai. Our stores provide customers with a wide variety of medicinal products, including prescription and over-the-counter (“OTC”) drugs, nutritional supplements, traditional Chinese medicine (“TCM”) products, 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 7,000 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 55 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 ongoing business operations are 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;

●	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;

●	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 February 2010, we entered into a 30-year lease for the land use rights to approximately 53 acres of land in Lin’an, in northwestern Zhejiang Province approximately 30 miles from Hangzhou. 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) and atractylodes macrocephala (used in TCM to control sweating), have been planted on approximately 48 acres, which we are expecting to harvest near the end of 2011 through early 2012, and ultimately sell as packaged herbs through our store locations and in bulk to third parties. In August 2010, we established Hangzhou Jiuxin Qianhong Agriculture Development Co., Ltd. (“Jiuxin Qianhong”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary to operate this project.

Since May 2010, we have also been operating an online drugstore (www.dada360.com) that currently sells OTC drugs and nutritional supplements. 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 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. As a part of our acquisition of Quannuo Technology, we also acquired its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hangzhou Quannuo, and the “Quannuo Grand Pharmacy” store. We are currently working to establish multiple payment methods with banks and online payment intermediaries.

On April 15, 2011, Jiuzhou Pharmacy entered into an equity ownership transfer agreement with the owners of Zhejiang Jiuxin Medicine Co., Ltd. (“Jiuxin Medicine”) to acquire their equity interests in Jiuxin Medicine. Jiuxin Medicine is licensed to transport and store pharmaceutical products, and we sought to acquire this company in order to carry out such functions internally. In April 2011, the business license of Jiuxin Medicine was transferred to Jiuzhou Pharmacy, although no consideration was paid. As of the date of this Form 10-K, we are still negotiating the payment terms with the sellers.

Throughout this Form 10-K, 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 effected 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 Form 10-K 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 founders, 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.

On June 9, 2009, Circular 106 was superseded by the Notice on Foreign Exchange Implementing Guidelines regarding Capital Account Management (“Circular 77”) which allows offshore holding company to be formed before SAFE registration is complete. 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. The principal purpose of Jiuxin Management is to manage, hold and own rights in and to the businesses and profits of HJ Group through a series of contractual arrangements as described further below. Other than activities relating to such contractual arrangements, Jiuxin Management has no other separate operations of its own.

HJ Group

Jiuzhou Pharmacy is a PRC limited liability company established on September 9, 2003 by our three founders: Lei Liu (55%), Chong’an Jin (23%) and Li Qi (22%). Jiuzhou Pharmacy operates a chain of pharmacies in Hangzhou that is presently comprised of 53 stores.

The current subsidiaries of Jiuzhou Pharmacy are:

●	Shanghai Lydia, which was established on January 17, 2011 in order to operate drugstores in Shanghai; and

●	Jiuxin Medicine, which was established on December 31, 2003, and which business license was transferred to Jiuzhou Pharmacy in April 2011 although no consideration has been paid as of the date of this Form 10-K in connection with such transfer.

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 founders 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 founders: 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 branch, 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 founders: 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 branch 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.

Jiuxin Qianhong

Jiuxin Qianhong is a PRC limited liability company established on August 10, 2010. Qianhong operates our herbal plants cultivation project.

Contractual Arrangements with HJ Group and our Three Founders

Our relationships with HJ Group and our three founders 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 founders (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.

Our Products

The products available at our drugstores can be broadly classified into the following categories:

Prescription Drugs. We offer approximately 1,954 prescription drugs, of which 353 require a physician’s prescription. Of these 353 drugs, 90% of the prescriptions are issued by physicians in our employ. We accept prescriptions only from licensed health care providers. Our in-store pharmacists verify the validity, accuracy and completeness of all prescription drug orders. We ask all prescription drug customers to provide us with information regarding drug allergies, current medical conditions and current medications. 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. The latest such adjustment occurred in March 2011 and affected 852 different prescription pharmaceutical products. However, this adjustment only required us to adjust 166 of our prescription and OTC drug prices for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. Because we have always priced our drugs substantially below price ceilings, price controls have not affected our revenue historically, and we do not expect them to do so in the future. Sales of prescription drugs accounted for approximately 38.8% of our drugstore revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

OTC Drugs. We offer approximately 1,349 OTC drugs, including western medicines and TCM, for the treatment of common diseases. Sales of OTC drugs accounted for approximately 33.9% of our drugstore revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Nutritional Supplements. We offer approximately 1,036 nutritional supplements, including a variety of healthcare supplements, vitamin, mineral and dietary products. Sales of nutritional supplements accounted for approximately 8.4% of our drugstore revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

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. Sales of TCM products accounted for approximately 10.5% of our drugstore revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

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. Sales of sundry products accounted for approximately 2.1% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

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. Sales of medical devices accounted for approximately 1.3% of our drugstore revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Liquor. We obtained retail licenses to sell alcohol for 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 drugstore revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. Substantially all liquor sales were made to a single customer.

Customers

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, our stores collectively served an average of approximately 11,000 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 our fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, approximately 81.6% of our revenue came from cash sales, 12.8% from Hangzhou’s medical insurance cards and 5.5% 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 Form 10-K, 26 of our stores in Hangzhou are licensed to accept medical insurance cards while 4 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 Stores

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. As of the date of this Form 10-K, we operate a chain of 55 drugstores under three brands: Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy (53 stores in Hangzhou), Quannuo Grand Pharmacy (1 store in Hangzhou) and Lydia Grand Pharmacy (1 store in Shanghai). While we aim to brand our drugstore as consistently as possible, the “Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy” name may not be available to us in new markets that we enter (such as 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

We had 546 employees as of March 31, 2011, including 533 fulltime and 13 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, 2011:

	As of March 31, 2011
	Employees		Percentage

Non-pharmacist store staff		288		52.7	%
Pharmacists		138		25.3	%
Management- non-pharmacists		74		13.6	%
Physicians		33		6.0	%
Non-physician clinic staff		13		2.4	%
Total		546		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 25 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

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 and Lydia 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”), one of the largest logistics companies in Zhejiang Province. Yingte Logistics is certified by Zhejiang Province to distribute prescription medicines and other products.

Pursuant to our annual contract with Yingte Logistics, which was most recently renewed on January 1, 2011, in addition to providing delivery and distribution services, Yingte Logistics would provide us with a 5,000 square meter capacity warehouse for our exclusive use. Inventory and inventory management would be controlled through our centralized management system that tracks inventory status retrieval, and is linked to all of our drugstores to track sales volume by product. Based on such information, we would instruct Yingte Logistics to make deliveries to each drugstore as necessary. We terminated our agreement with Yingte Logistics in April 2011 in connection with the transaction with Jiuxin Medicine described below.

On April 15, 2011, Jiuzhou Pharmacy entered into an equity ownership transfer agreement with the owners of Jiuxin Medicine to acquire 100% of their equity interests in Jiuxin Medicine. We sought to acquire Jiuxin Medicine to carry out the services provided by Yingte Logistics internally. The business license of Jiuxin Medicine was transferred to Jiuzhou Pharmacy on April 15, 2011, although no consideration was paid in connection with such transfer. As of the date of this Form 10-K, we are still negotiating the payment terms with the sellers.

Jiuxin Medicine is located in Hangzhou approximately 7 miles from our headquarters. Its 8,000 square meters facility includes a climate-control storage area suitable to store goods at various temperatures, and we have been using this facility as our distribution center since May 2011. Currently, Jiuxin Medicine outsources distribution to Yingte Logistics under a one-year Logistics Service Agreement that expires March 31, 2012. We expect to take over the management of Jiuxin Medicine once the purchase consideration is finalized and paid. We plan for Jiuxin Medicine to eventually carry out distribution for us and for third parties including hospitals and other drugstores.

Suppliers

We currently purchase the products sold at our pharmacies from approximately 366 suppliers, including 236 wholesalers and 130 direct manufacturers. For the year ended March 31, 2011, two vendors, namely Yiyang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Yingte Logistics, accounted for 27% of our total purchases and 11% of total purchase deposits as of March 31, 2011. Neither of these companies is related to or affiliated with us. We believe that competitive sources are readily available for substantially all of the merchandise we carry in our stores. We believe that as we grow in size, our greater sourcing capability will 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 the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, approximately 81.6% of our sales were made in cash. Therefore, we have adopted strict cash control procedures in 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 store’s activity, 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. Since there is a significant manufacturing capability surplus within the Chinese pharmaceutical industry, it is possible for us to change suppliers without a material interruption to our business.

All of our 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. We 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”). In Hangzhou, as of March 31, 2011, Nepstar operated approximately 180 stores, Tian Tian operated approximately 90 stores and LBX Pharmacy operated approximately 20 stores. 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.

Intellectual Property

We have one Class 5 trademark (for pharmaceuticals), “Jiuzhou Tongxin,” that was issued on February 14, 2011 and registered under Jiuzhou Pharmacy. We plan to use it to brand certain products that we may sell in our stores. We have also applied to register twelve trademarks, four under Shouantang Technology and eight under Shanghai Lydia, and expect them to be registered sometime in 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 25 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. Under Circular 75, a SPV is an offshore entity established or controlled, directly or indirectly, by PRC residents or PRC entities for the purpose of seeking offshore equity financing using assets or interests owned by such PRC residents or PRC entities in onshore companies, while round trip investment refers to direct investment in China by the PRC residents through the SPV, including without limitation establishing foreign invested enterprises and using such foreign invested enterprises to purchase or control (by way of contractual arrangements) onshore assets. Circular 75 requires PRC residents and PRC entities to complete foreign exchange registration with the local offices of SAFE for their overseas investments. In addition, any PRC resident that is the shareholder of SPV is required to amend his or her SAFE registration with the SAFE or its competent local branch, with respect to that SPV in connection with any of its increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equity investment or creation of any security interest over any assets located in China.

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”) which requires PRC subsidiaries of an offshore company governed by Circular 75 to coordinate and supervise the filing of SAFE registrations in a timely manner by such company’s shareholders who are PRC residents. If these shareholders fail to comply, the PRC subsidiaries are required to report to the local SAFE authorities. On June 9, 2009, Circular 106 was superseded by the Notice on Foreign Exchange Implementing Guidelines regarding Capital Account Management (“Circular 77”) which allows establishing or controlling a SPV before the SAFE registration is complete. Recently, a SAFE Notice on Issuance of the Operating Procedures for PRC Residents Engaging in Financing and Roundtrip Investments via Overseas Special Purpose Vehicles (“Circular 19”) has been promulgated to simplify the SAFE registration process and will further supersede Circular 77 and come into force on July 1, 2011. Our three founders, who are PRC residents, are in compliance with the Circular 75 and its implementing circulars.

Dividend Distribution

The principal laws, rules and regulations governing dividends paid by our PRC affiliated entities include the Company Law of the PRC (1993), as amended in 2005 and effective in 2006, Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended in 2000, and Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise Law Implementation Rules (1990), as amended in 2001. Under these 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, 2011, the accumulated balance of our statutory reserve funds reserves amounted to RMB 9.5 million ($1.3 million) and the accumulated profits of our consolidated PRC entities that were available for dividend distribution amounted to RMB 160.5 million ($23.3 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 and/or Renovation and/or us is a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of PRC tax consequences could follow. First, Renovation and/or us 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 receives indirectly from Jiuxin Management constitute “dividend between qualified resident enterprises” and consequently be qualified for tax exemption.

If Renovation is treated as a PRC “non-resident enterprise” under the EIT Law, then dividends that Renovation receives from Jiuxin Management (assuming such dividends were considered sourced within the PRC) (i) may be subject to a 5% PRC withholding tax, provided that Renovation owns 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 Renovation 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 its ordinary 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 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 Law of the PRC on the Administration of Pharmaceutical Products, 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 49.0%.

Our WFOE, Jiuxin Management, has entered into contractual arrangements with Jiuzhou Pharmacy and our three founders.

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 and Jiuxin Medicine are GSP certified. Hangzhou Quannuo and Shanghai Lydia have applied for GSP certification and expect to be certified by December 2011. Our Quannuo Grand Pharmacy and Lydia Grand Pharmacy stores are permitted to operate without GSP certificates while the GSP applications are 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

In order to prevent misleading advertising of pharmaceutical products, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (“SAIC”) and the SFDA jointly promulgated the Standards for Examination and Publication of Advertisements of Pharmaceutical Products and Rules for Examination of Advertisement of Pharmaceutical Products in March 2007. Under these regulations, there are prohibitions on the advertising of certain pharmaceutical products, and advertisement of prescription pharmaceutical products may only be made in authorized medical magazines. In addition, an approval must be obtained from the provincial level of food and drug administration before a pharmaceutical product may be advertised. 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 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. Fixed prices and price ceilings on medicine are determined based on profit margins that the relevant government authorities deem reasonable, the type and quality of the medicine, its production costs, the prices of substitute medicine and the extent of the manufacturer’s compliance with the applicable Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) standards. The NDRC directly regulates the pricing of a portion of the medicine on the list, and delegates to provincial and regional price control authorities the authority to regulate the pricing of the rest of the medicine on the list. Provincial and regional price control authorities have discretion to authorize price adjustments based on the local conditions and the level of local economic development. There are approximately 14,784 OTC and prescription drug products that are subject to price controls. The price controls of all of those pharmaceutical products are administered by the NDRC.

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. For a provincially regulated medicine, in cases where provincial price control authorities approve an application, manufacturers must file the newly approved price with the NDRC for record and thereafter the newly approved price will become binding and enforceable across China.

Since May 1998, the PRC government has been ordering reductions in the retail prices of various pharmaceutical products. The latest price reduction occurred in March 2011 and affected 852 different pharmaceutical products, which required us to make minimal price adjustments to 166 prescription drugs. Currently, of the total number of pharmaceutical products and OTC drugs we offered, 1,092 are subject to price controls. Price controls, however, have had no significant impact on our operations as our price points have historically been substantially below such government-imposed ceilings.

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. Provincial governments are required to include all Tier A medicines listed on the national Medical Insurance Catalog in their provincial medical insurance catalogs. For Tier B medicines listed in the national medical insurance catalog, provincial governments have the discretion to adjust upwards or downwards by no more than 15% from the number of Tier B medicine listed in the national medical insurance catalog that is to be included in the provincial medical insurance catalogs. The amount in a participant’s individual account under the program varies, depending on the amount of contributions from the participant and his or her employer. Generally, participants under the national medical insurance program who are from relatively wealthier parts of China and metropolitan centers have greater amounts in their individual accounts than those from other parts of the country. Different regions in China have different requirements regarding the caps of reimbursements in excess of the amounts in the individual accounts.

Sales of Nutritional Supplements and other Food Products

According to the PRC Food Safety Law, which superseded the Food Hygiene Law on June 1, 2009, and the Measures for the Administration of Food Circulation Permits and the Administrative Measures for the Licensing of Catering Services, which superseded the Rules on Food Hygiene Certification on May 1, 2010, 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 seven stores are expiring in 2011; the permits of Jiuxin Medicine, Jiuzhou Pharmacy and twelve stores will expire in 2012. Other permits will expire in 2013 or after. We have started the renewal process for the permits that are expiring in 2011, 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’s WTO commitments, “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.

Liquor Sale

According to the Regulations on Retail Sale of Alcohol and the Regulations on Alcohol Distribution, alcohol retailers are required to register with the local Administration of Industry and Commerce within 60 days upon receipt of business license and to obtain a liquor license and a food hygiene certificate to operate their facilities. Stores that sell alcoholic beverages must comply with food safety and fire safety requirements and must not sell to minors (under age of 18). Alcohol retailers must keep records of all suppliers and such records must be maintained for at least three years. Distributors who violate relevant regulations are subject to fines or suspension of license.

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. Since November 2010, Quannuo Technology has been operating the website and providing software and technical support.

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. Such requirements include size and environment of plantation, variety of plants, source of seeds, insect control measures, etc. Manufacturers may apply for GAP certificate by submitting required materials to the provincial office of the SFDA, which will review and forward the materials with comments to the SFDA. The SFDA will review and submit qualified candidates to its licensing center, which will then arrange and conduct on-site examinations. Candidates who pass the examinations will be granted a GAP certificate. The GAP certificate is renewable every five years. 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 limited operating history. Jiuzhou Pharmacy opened its first drugstore in March 2004, Jiuzhou Clinic began its first clinic in October 2003, and Jiuzhou Service commenced operation in November 2005. 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 the three co-founders of HJ Group, 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 other drugstore chains, retail chains, supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmaceutical companies and other organizations. 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 founders has entered into a confidentiality and non-competition agreement with us regarding these agreements. However, if any disputes arise between our founders 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 founders reside and hold some of their assets. See “Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could limit the protections available to you and us.”

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 our existing and new locations, and to maintain and establish leases for our existing and new 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, 2011, we had approximately $16,5 million on deposit with suppliers, $4.6 million as a deposit on an inventory purchase and approximately $4.4 million as deposits with landlords for our retail locations. Were we 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.

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 benefit in our fiscal third quarter (October 1st through December 31st) 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. 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.

If we are unable to optimize management of our distribution activities, we may be unable to meet customer demand.

Since May 2011, we have been using Jiuxin Medicine’s facility for inventory, although we continue to outsource our distribution functions to Yingte Logistics. 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.

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 our business successfully as well as meet our customers’ expectations. However, we must also guard against the risk of accumulating excess inventory. We are exposed to inventory risks as a result of our increased offering of private label products, 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.

The centralization of procurement may not help us achieve anticipated savings and may place additional burdens on the management of our supply chain.

All of the product procurement for our drugstore chain 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 is expected to increase the complexity of tracking inventory, create additional inventory handling and transportation costs and place additional burdens on the management of our supply chain. Furthermore, we may not be successful in achieving the cost savings expected from the renegotiation of certain supplier contracts due to the nature of the products covered by those contracts and the market position of the related suppliers. If we cannot successfully reduce our costs through centralizing procurement, our profitability and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

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 two of our pharmacy brand names, namely “Jiuzhou 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 own one trademark and have twelve trademark applications pending. We also own 28 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.

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 drugstores 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 system. 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 disaster recovery plan is adequate in handling 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 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 retailer of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products, we are exposed to inherent risks relating to product liability and personal injury claims.

Pharmacies are exposed to risks inherent in the packaging and distribution of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products, such as with respect to improper filling of prescriptions, labeling of prescriptions, adequacy of warnings, unintentional distribution of counterfeit drugs. 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 sell and as a retailer, we are 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 name 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.

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.

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 business 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, especially in-store pharmacists, for our stores.

Our ability to continue expanding our retail drugstore chain and deliver high quality products and customer service depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified and skilled staff, especially in-store pharmacists. In particular, the applicable PRC regulations require at least one qualified pharmacist to be stationed in every drugstore to instruct or advise customers on prescription drugs. Over the years, a significant shortage of pharmacists has developed due to increasing demand within the drugstore industry as well as demand from other businesses in the healthcare industry. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract, hire and retain sufficient numbers of skilled personnel and in-store pharmacists 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 and in-store pharmacists 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.

The drugstore industry in China is highly competitive, and we expect competition to intensify in the future. Our primary 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. In addition, we may be subject to additional competition from new entrants to the drugstore industry in China. If the PRC government removes the barriers for the foreign companies to operate majority-owned retail drugstore business in China, we could face increased competition from foreign companies. 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.

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” below. 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. The latest price reduction occurred in March 2011 and affected 852 different prescription pharmaceutical products. Currently, 1,092 of the prescription and OTC drugs that we offer are subject to price controls. As we generally price our product substantially below the price ceilings, only 166 of our prescription drug prices required adjustment, the impact of which was negligible. Any future price controls or government mandated price reductions, however, may have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations, including significantly reducing our revenue and profitability.

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

Drugstores in China 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 retail market in China may damage our brand and 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 retail 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 retailers 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.

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.

The alcohol distribution industry is highly competitive.

The alcoholic distribution industry in our region is intensely competitive. The principal competitive factors in the industry include product range, pricing, distribution capabilities and responsiveness to consumer preferences, with varying emphasis on these factors depending on the market and the product. We face significant competition from various regional distributors and wholesalers, who compete principally on price.

Our alcohol sales are linked to economic conditions and shifts in consumer preferences, including a reduction in the consumption of alcohol.

Our alcohol sales are affected by the overall economic trends in the PRC, the level of consumer spending, the rate of taxes levied on alcohol and consumer confidence in future economic conditions. During a period of economic slowdown, reduced consumer confidence and spending may result in reduced demand for our alcohol and limitations on our ability to increase prices and finance marketing and promotional activities.

Our sales of alcohol are subject to extensive government regulation.

Distribution of alcohol in the PRC is subject to regulation by national and local governmental agencies. These regulations and laws address such matters as licensing and permit requirements, competition, trade and pricing practices, taxes, distribution methods and relationships, required labeling and packaging, advertising, sales promotion and relations with wholesalers and retailers.

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 the Cultivation of Herbal Plants Used for TCM

We intend to distribute herbal plants being cultivated on our leased land, from which we may not be able to generate significant revenue, if any.

At the present, more than ten herbal plants are being cultivated on land that we are leasing 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) and atractylodes macrocephala (used in TCM to control sweating), which we intend to sell as packaged herbs at our pharmacies and in bulk to third parties after they are harvested and processed. While we have already devoted considerable resources, there is no assurance that we will ultimately be able to generate significant revenue, it at all, from such endeavor.

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

The herbal plants that are being cultivated and that we are planning to distribute are priced 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 land. 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 in Zhejiang Province and in Lin’an 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 become contaminated or deteriorate once we commence distribution, and we may be exposed to negative publicity about product safety which could have a negative impact on our financial condition.

The contamination or deterioration of the plants that are being cultivated on our leased land and that we are planning to distribute could harm our reputation and business. Once we are able to commence distribution, 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 plan to distribute.

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

We plan to hire local farmers to harvest the plants currently being cultivated on our leased land. We do not anticipate employing these farmers directly. Instead, the farmers will be recruited and employed by the local villagers’ committees that we will enter into agreements with. 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. 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. 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 and our three founders) 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 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 Agreements entered by Jiuxin Management with Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service as part of the contractual arrangements have created a legally binding obligation on the parties upon the execution date; however, the pledge established under these agreements 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. 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; and

●

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 Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic, Jiuzhou Service and their respective owners 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. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing control over these companies as direct ownership. For example, Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic or Jiuzhou Service could fail to take actions required for our business despite its contractual obligation to do so. If Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic or Jiuzhou Service fails to perform under its agreements with us, 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 founders will act in our best interests.

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

We are a holding company and do not have any assets or conduct any business operations other than the contractual arrangements between Jiuxin Management, our WFOE, and each of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service. All of our business operations are conducted by, and we derive all of our revenues from, HJ Group. Because neither we nor Jiuxin Management own equity interests of HJ Group, the termination of the contractual arrangements would sever our ability to continue receiving payments from Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service under our current holding company structure.

As we do not have any equity interests in any of the HJ Group companies, in the event the contractual arrangements terminate, we will lose our control over them and their business operations, as well as our sole source of revenues. Should this occur, we may seek to acquire control of HJ Group 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, 2011, our restricted reserves totaled RMB 9,460,695 ($1,309,109) and we had unrestricted retained earnings of RMB 160,505,337 ($23,287,474). 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 Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service 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, and the supervising director of Jiuzhou Service. Mr. Chong’an Jin, one of our directors, is the supervising director of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, the managing general partner of Jiuzhou Clinic, and 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 may arise. As our directors and executive officer (in the case of Mr. Liu), 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. 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’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 Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic or Jiuzhou Service 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 our officers or directors who are members of HJ Group’s 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 the HJ Group companies and their respective management, all of which are located in China.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

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

As a result of our holding company structure, we rely primarily on payments from Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service under their contractual arrangements with our WFOE, Jiuxin Management, as well as dividends from our PRC subsidiaries, 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 “Government control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.” Furthermore, if our affiliated entity in China incurs 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 ordinary 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 some time 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) a series of price adjustments, the latest of which is in March 2011, and affected listing approximately 852 medicines. 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 also result in foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes when we translate our U.S. dollar denominated financial assets into RMB, as RMB 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.

The NASDAQ Capital Market may delist our common stock from trading on its exchange, 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. We cannot assure you that our common stock will continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If the NASDAQ Capital Market 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. Reported average daily trading volume in our common stock from May 1, 2010 through June 24, 2011 was approximately 39,121 shares. 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.

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 Form 10-K ranged from a low of $1.65 to a high of $6.16. 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.

Our directors and executive officers collectively control approximately 47.3% of our outstanding shares of stock that are 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. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rule changes as well as proposed legislative initiatives following the Enron bankruptcy are likely to increase general and administrative costs and expenses. 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. Further, there could be changes in certain accounting rules. 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:

Management’s assessment of the control deficiency over accounting and finance personnel as of March 31, 2011 considered the following factors including: the number of adjustments proposed by our independent auditors during our quarterly review and annual audit processes; the significance of the audit adjustments impact on the overall financial statements; how appropriately we complied with U.S. GAAP on transactions; and 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 be a material weakness as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, because the situation regarding the insufficient number of qualified resources in our U.S. reporting team remained the same in these two years.

We did not maintain effective controls over internal audit function due to the lack of qualified internal auditors who are familiar with internal audit and U.S. GAAP, and we did not implement adequate and proper supervisory review to ensure that significant internal control deficiencies can be detected or prevented.

Our management has undertaken steps to address these issues, subsequent to year end, including hiring a third party to assist us with identifying the steps necessary to improve our internal controls and the implementation of such steps. However, there is no assurance that additional remedial measures will not be necessary, or that after the remediation our management will be able to conclude that our internal controls over our financial reporting are effective.

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 13,531,579 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 24, 2011, approximately 7,376,002 million 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 founders 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

Not applicable.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our corporate headquarters and 54 of our 55 stores, as well as the offices of Shouantang Technology and Quannuo Technology, are located in Hangzhou. The land on which herbal plants for TCM are being cultivated is located in Lin’an approximately 30 miles from Hangzhou. We also have one store location in Shanghai.

As of the date of this Form 10-K, we have entered into 61 operating leases for our headquarters, offices for Quannuo Technology and Shouantang Technology, and retail spaces with various terms, periods and other rental provisions. All such leases are with third parties with the exception of our headquarters and a retail space, 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 16, “Commitments and Contingencies,” of the footnotes to our audited financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

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 in Lin’an 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 March 2010. See Note 7, "Prepaid Non Current," and Note 17, "Commitments and Contingencies," of the footnotes to our audited financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

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, 2011 and 2010 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. 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 Form 10-K. 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 Form 10-K. 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 primarily an operator of retail pharmacies based in Zhejiang Province, China. 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. 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 7,000 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. Our stores presently average approximately 250 square feet.

In addition to pharmacies and medical clinics, we plan to distribute herbal plants being cultivated on our leased land at our pharmacies and to third parties. In August 2010, we established Jiuxin Qianhong as a wholly-owned subsidiary to operate this cultivation project. Currently, more than ten herbal plants, including fructus rubi, white atractylodes rhizome and atractylodes macrocephala, are being cultivated on approximately 48 acres, which we expect to harvest in the latter half of 2011 through early 2012.

We have also been operating an online drugstore (www.dada360.com) that sells non-prescription drugs (including over-the-counter drugs and nutritional supplements), since May 2010. In July 2010, we established Shouantang Technology as a wholly-owned subsidiary and acquired Quannuo Technology in November 2010 to operate the website and provide software and technical support. As a part of our acquisition of Quannuo Technology, we also acquired its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hangzhou Quannuo, and the “Quannuo Grand Pharmacy” store. Other than activities relating to investing and financing the working capital of Quannuo Technology, Shouantang has had no separate operations of its own as of March 31, 2011.

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

Our non-current assets include property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, long term deposits and long term advances to suppliers. 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, 2011 and 2010.

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, 2011.

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, 2011 and 2010 have been immaterial.

Results of Operations

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

	Years Ended March 31,
	2010					2011

Net Income	$	9,821,741		17.8	%	$	8,432,458		12.1	%

Revenue. Our revenue increased by $14,794,550 or 26.8% to $69,969,479 for the year ended March 31, 2011 from $55,174,929 for the year ended March 31, 2010 due to new store openings and maturing stores. Of this increase, $6,023,144 or 40.7% was attributable to new stores, with the remainder primarily attributable to our maturing stores that we opened prior to March 31, 2010. We operated 51 stores as of March 31, 2011, as compared to 25 stores as of March 31, 2010. We anticipate that our overall revenue will continue to increase as we open additional stores.

Gross Profit. Our gross margin increased by $4,244,054 or 25.1% to $21,142,094 for the year ended March 31, 2011 from $16,898,040 for the year ended March 31, 2010. Our gross margin slightly decreased from 30.6% for the year ended March 31, 2010 to 30.2% for the year ended March 31, 2011. We anticipate that our overall gross profit will continue to increase as our sales increase. Additionally, we anticipate that our gross margin will increase as we will be able to obtain better pricing terms from our suppliers and achieve further economies of scale as a result of purchasing larger quantities of products.

Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses increased by $2,208,413 or 84.0% to $4,838,745 for the year ended March 31, 2011 from $2,630,332 for the year ended March 31, 2010. The increase in selling expenses was increased rent expense and salaries as a result of opening new store locations. Selling expenses as a percentage of our revenue increased to 6.9% for the year ended March 31, 2011 from 4.8% for the year ended March 31, 2010. We expect that our selling expenses will increase as we continue to expand our store network within Zhejiang Province as well as Shanghai.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $3,213,789 or 212.0% to $4,723,943 for the year ended March 31, 2011 from $1,510,154 for the year ended March 31, 2010. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of our revenue increased to 6.8% from 2.7% for the year ended March 31, 2011. The increases 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 warehousing costs. 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 revenue.

Income from Operations. As a result of higher selling and general and administrative expenses, our income from operations decreased by $1,178,148 or 9.0% to $11,579,406 for the year ended March 31, 2011 from $12,757,554 for the year ended March 31, 2010. Our operating margin for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 16.5% and 23.1%, respectively.

Income Taxes. Our income tax expense increased to $3,523,345 for the year ended March 31, 2011 from $2,880,293 for the year ended March 31, 2010 as a result of certain expenses incurred in the United States not being deductible for PRC income tax purposes.

Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, our net income decreased to $8,432,458 for the year ended March 31, 2011 from $9,821,741 for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Liquidity

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

	March 31, 2011			March 31, 2010
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities		(5,183,748	)		807,309
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities		(5,250,092	)		(602,225	)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities		15,770,507			(400,503	)

Year Ended March 31, 2011

For the year ended March 31, 2011, we used $5,183,748 in operating activities, as opposed to $807,309 provided by operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2010. The change is primarily attributable to increases in advances to suppliers of $9,177,936 and in other current assets of $6,927,371, offset by a $1,075,811 increase in trade accounts payable and an increase in other payables and accrued liabilities of $2,370,213.

We used $5,250,092 in investing activities during the year ended March 31, 2011, primarily for purchasing a store location and making related leasehold improvements as well as leasehold improvements at other store locations as compared to $602,225 spent during the year ended March 31, 2010.

Cash provided by financing activities was $15,770,507 for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to of $400,503 used in financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2010. The increase 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.

As of June 27, 2011, we had cash of $ 6,190,312. Our total current assets as of March 31, 2011 were $39,456,654 and our total current liabilities were $11,717,481 which resulted in a net working capital of $27,739,173 as of March 31, 2011.

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. During the next 90 days, we may complete our acquisition of Jiuxin Medicine that may require an all cash payment and have an obligation to contribute RMB 8,000,000 to complete the registered capital requirement for Quannuo Technology. We believe that with our current working capital, we will be able to meet these obligations. 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,
2012	$	2,832,615
2013		2,480,687
2014		2,025,371
2015		1,613,378
2016		680,293
Thereafter		489,517

Logistics Services Commitments

As of March 31, 2011, we used a third party service provider, Yingte Logistics, to accept goods from our suppliers and to deliver the goods to our store locations. Pursuant to our one-year agreement with Yingte Logistics entered into on January 1, 2011, we are obligated to pay 1% of the purchase price of the goods received from our suppliers by Yingte Logistics during the term of the agreement, from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011, with a contractual minimum of 3.9 million RMB.

We terminated our agreement with Yingte Logistics in April 2011, and now use Jiuxin Medicine’s facility as our distribution center. We are, however, still using Yingte Logistics for delivery of goods to our stores.

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 ±0.3% 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 US Dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements or otherwise stated in this report were as follows:

	March 31, 2010	March 31, 2011
Balance sheet items, except for the registered and paid-up capital, as of end of period/year	USD1:RMB 0.1467	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 0.14664	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 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are included in Part III, Item 15 (a) (1) and (2) of this Annual report on Form 10-K.

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, 2011, 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 the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective at the reasonable assurance level.

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, 2011 due to the following material weaknesses:

Accounting and Finance Personnel Weaknesses - The current accounting staff is relatively inexperienced, and requires substantial training so as to meet with the higher demands necessary to fulfill the requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting and SEC rules and regulations. Therefore, 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, 2011 considered the following 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 be a material weakness as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, because the situation regarding the insufficient number of qualified resources in our U.S. reporting team remained the same in these two years.

Subsequent to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, our management has identified the steps it believes are necessary to address the weaknesses described above, and expect that we will satisfactorily address the control deficiencies and weaknesses relating to these matters by the end of our fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, although there can be no assurance that compliance will be achieved in this time frame.

This annual 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 annual 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, 2011 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 error 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.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

None.

Agreements for the Services of Bennet P. Tchaikovsky

On July 30, 2009, Jiuzhou Pharmacy entered into a CFO Services Agreement (the “CFO Agreement”) with Worldwide Officers, Inc., a California corporation (“WOI”), to retain the services of Bennet P. Tchaikovsky as its chief financial officer until the completion of a financing. Under the terms of the CFO Agreement, Mr. Tchaikovsky performs his duties from the United States for compensation of $30,000 through the close of a financing. The CFO Agreement terminates at the closing of a financing, provided that Jiuzhou Pharmacy shall enter into a new agreement at that time with WOI to continue Mr. Tchaikovsky’s engagement as chief financial officer. Jiuzhou Pharmacy may also terminate the CFO Agreement upon a 30-day written notice to Mr. Tchaikovsky. On the other hand, Mr. Tchaikovsky may terminate the CFO Agreement upon a 90-day written notice to Jiuzhou Pharmacy.

On May 14, 2010, we entered into a Loanout Agreement with Worldwide Officers, Inc. (“WOI”) pursuant to which we engaged the services of Mr. Tchaikovsky as our Chief Financial Officer for a period of one year beginning May 14, 2010. Mr. Tchaikovsky has been serving as our Chief Financial Officer since May 15, 2011 without a written agreement with us.

Under the Loanout Agreement, we will pay cash compensation of $100,000 to WOI in 4 installments of $25,000 upon the signing of the Loanout Agreement and on July 28, 2010, October 28, 2010 and January 28, 2011. We will also issue 10,000 restricted shares of our common stock to WOI as further compensation for Mr. Tchaikovsky’s services which will be held in escrow and vest in five installments and distributed to WOI or its designee at the end of the one year term. In addition, we will issue to WOI 4,000 shares of our common stock as bonus. The shares issuable to WOI are to be issued under a stock plan to be adopted by us, which we agree to use best efforts to adopt by August 31, 2010. In addition to the foregoing, WOI is also entitled to reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with Mr. Tchaikovsky’s services, and Mr. Tchaikovsky is entitled to be included as an insured under a directors and officers’ insurance policy to be obtained by us.

Concurrently with the entry of the Loanout Agreement, we entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Mr. Tchaikovsky, pursuant to which we agree to hold Mr. Tchaikovsky harmless and indemnify him for and against any expense, liability or loss paid or incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising from or related to the fact that he is or was an officer of the Company, or serving in other capacities at the request of the Company, or anything done by him in such capacity.

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 audit provides 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, 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CHINA JO-JO DRUGSTORES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2011

Note 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

China Jo-Jo Drugstores, Inc. (“Jo-Jo Drugstores” or the “Company”), was incorporated in Nevada on December 19, 2006, originally under the name “Kerrisdale Mining Corporation.” On September 24, 2009, the Company changed its name to “China Jo-Jo Drugstores, Inc.” in connection with a share exchange transaction as described below.

On September 17, 2009, the Company completed a share exchange transaction with Renovation Investment (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (“Renovation”), where by 7,900,000 shares of common stock were issued to the stockholders of Renovation in exchange for 100% of the capital stock of Renovation. The completion of the share exchange transaction resulted in a change of control. The share exchange transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization and, as a result, the consolidated financial statements of the Company (the legal acquirer) is, in substance, those of Renovation (the accounting acquirer), with the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses, of the Company being included effective from the date of the share exchange transaction. Renovation has no substantive operations of its own except for its holdings of Zhejiang Jiuxin Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“Jiuxin Management”) and Zhejiang Shouantang Medical Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shouantang Technology”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company is primarily in the retail drugstore business in the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”). As of March 31, 2011, all of the Company’s pharmacies except one were operated by Hangzhou Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy Chain Co., Ltd.

(“Kuaileren”) and Shanghai Lydia Grand Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Lydia”) (See Note 17 – Subsequent Events). One drugstore is operated by Hangzhou Quannuo Grand Pharmacy Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Quannuo”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhejiang Quannuo Internet Technology Co., Ltd. (“Quannuo Technology”), which is wholly-owned by Shouantang Technology.

The Company also operates two medical clinics through Hangzhou Jiuzhou Clinic of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine (“Jiuzhou Clinic”) and Hangzhou Jiuzhou Medical and Public Health Service Co., Ltd. (“Jiuzhou Service”), both of which are also controlled by the Company through contractual arrangements. In addition, Hangzhou Jiuxin Qianhong Agriculture Development Co., Ltd.

(1)

Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service have been under the common control of the same three owners (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. Kuaileren and Shanghai Lydia are also deemed under the common control of the Owners as they are each wholly-owned by Jiuzhou Pharmacy.

(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 those of Kuaileren and Shanghai Lydia, are consolidated into the financial statements 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, 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, and enable the Company, through Jiuxin Management, to receive a majority of their respective expected residual returns. The Company has also concluded that Kuaileren and Shanghai Lydia are VIEs by virtue of being wholly-owned subsidiaries of Jiuzhou Pharmacy.

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.

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.

F-6

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 they are in compliance with existing laws and regulations including the 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. Our ability to obtain products and maintain inventory at our existing and new locations is dependent upon our ability to post and maintain significant cash deposits with our suppliers. In the PRC, many vendors are unwilling to extend credit terms for product sales which require cash deposits to be made. We do not generally receive interest on any of our supplier 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.

The current management team own controlling interests in the Company and are also the majority owners of the controlled variable interest entities in the PRC. The Company only controls the variable interest entities through certain agreements which obligate them to absorb the risk of loss and to receive the residual expected returns. As such, the controlling shareholders of the Company and the variable interest entities could cancel these agreements or permit them to expire at the end of the agreement terms, and therefore the Company would not retain control of the operating subsidiaries.

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.

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 a reasonable estimate of fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and 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.

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 $249,225 from the change in fair value of the option liability for the year ended March 31, 2011, respectively. There was no option outstanding as of March 31, 2010.

F-7

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, 2011 using the following assumptions:

	Underwriter Purchase Option
	April 22,		March 31,
	2010		2011 (1)

Stock price	$	4.78	$	2.61
Exercise price	$	6.25	$	6.25
Annual dividend yield		0%		0%
Expected term (years)		5.00		4.06
Risk-free interest rate		2.57%		1.29%
Expected volatility		120%		102%

(1)

As of March 31, 2011, the option to purchase 105,000 shares of common stock had not been exercised.

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility. Historical volatility was 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.

As required by the FASB’s accounting standards, 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, 2011 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.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2011:

	Carrying Value at March 31, 2011		Fair Value Measurement at March 31, 2011
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Purchase option derivative liability	$	153,226	$	—	$	153,226	$	—

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 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 of the sale 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.

F-8

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. 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 year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, $393,987 and $0 accounts receivable were written off.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first in first out method (“FIFO”). 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 to ensure that the amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements at each reporting period are properly stated and valued. The Company records write-downs to inventories for shrinkage losses and damaged merchandise that are identified during the inventory counts. Historically, these amounts have not been material to the consolidated financial statements.

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 following 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	3-5 years
Motor vehicles	5 years
Office equipment & furniture	3-5 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 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, 2011

Notes payable

During the normal course of business, the Company constantly issues Bank Acceptance Bills as a payment method to settle down outstanding accounts payables to various material suppliers. The Company recorded such Bank Acceptance Bills as Notes payables. The notes payable are generally short term in nature due to their short maturity period of six to nine months.

F-9

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, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have any net deferred tax assets or liabilities.

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. Under these standards, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. Penalties or interest incurred relating to underpayment of income taxes are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

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. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables.

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 $458,979 and $455,543 for years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 which 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 $414,365 and $236,084 in cost of goods sold for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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.

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 government is amortized on a straight-line basis over a 30-year term.

F-10

Commitments and contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has experienced no product liability or malpractice claims.

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”), being the currency of the People’s Republic of China .

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. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of the subsidiaries and VIEs are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.

The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at March 31, 2011 and 2010 were translated at 1 RMB to $0.1527 USD and at 1 RMB to $0.1467 USD, respectively. The average translation rates applied to income and cash flow statement amounts for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were at 1 RMB to $0.14909 USD and at 1 RMB to $0.14664 USD, respectively.

Concentrations and credit risk

The Company’s operations are all carried out in the PRC, with over 95% of the sales coming from Hangzhou. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations are also subject to specific 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 environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash and restricted cash. The Company has cash balances at financial institutions located in Hong Kong and PRC. Balances at financial institutions in Hong Kong may, from time to time, exceed Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board’s insured limits. Balances at financial institutions and state-owned banks within the PRC are not covered by insurance. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had deposits totaling $7,068,093 and $1,533,175 that were not covered by insurance, respectively. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, all of the Company’s sales and purchases arose in the PRC.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, two vendors collectively accounted for 27% of the Company’s total purchases and 11% of total purchase deposits as of March 31, 2011. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, two vendors collectively accounted for 23% of the Company’s total purchases and 10% of advances to suppliers.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) (collectively the “Boards”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. ASU 2011-04 created a uniform framework for applying fair value measurement principles for companies around the world and clarified existing guidance in US GAAP. ASU 2011-04 is effective for the first reporting annual period beginning after December 15, 2011 and shall be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have any material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or cash flows as previously reported.

Jo-Jo Drugstores is incorporated in the U.S. and has incurred a net operating loss for income tax purposes for 2010. As of March 31, 2011, the estimated net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. income tax purposes amounted to $813,000 which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carryforwards 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% valuation allowance at March 31, 2011. The valuation allowance at March 31, 2011 was $277,000. The Company’s management reviews this valuation allowance periodically and makes adjustments as necessary. The Company did not have operating loss as of March 31, 2010.

The Company had cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries of approximately $24.3 million as of March 31, 2011, which are included in consolidated retained earnings and will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in international operations.

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, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not made 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 13 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

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.
