Revenues

 

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $2.17 million and $0.41 million, respectively. Compared with the same period in 2020, revenue in the 2021 period increased by $1.75 million, or 423%, mainly due to the increase in sales of wholesale pharmaceuticals of $1.10 million and medical services of $0.70 million.

 

Revenues from the retail pharmacy segment for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $0.12 million, generated from 5 retail pharmacy stores in Chongqing.

 

Revenues from wholesale medical devices segment for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $0.06 million and $0.25 million, respectively. The decrease is mainly due to low demand for medical devices during the first quarter, which is typical because of the long break during the Chinese New Year.

 

 

 

 

Cost of revenues

 

Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1.58 million and $0.33 million, respectively. The Company recorded an obsolescence loss of $0.03 million with respect to inventories, which was included in the cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared with an obsolescence loss of $0.30 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease of inventory provision is due to the obsolescence of inventory held for sale by the Boqi pharmacies in Dalian, whose stores suffered from the lockdown policy in effect due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Gross profit

 

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.59 million and $0.08 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we had a gross margin of 27.32% and 19.85%, respectively.

(“Guanzan Group”) of approximately $0.51 million, which we acquired in March 2020, and the amortization of the discount relating to the convertible notes issued in 2021 of $1.61 million, and general operating expenses which primarily include legal expenses of $0.28 million and audit fee of $0.15 million and other compliance expense.
