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"), whereby 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) are, 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"), Zhejiang Shouantang Medical Technology Co., Ltd. ("Shouantang Technology") and Hangzhou Jiutong Medical Technology Co., Ltd ("Jiutong Medical"), Hangzhou Jiuyi Medical Technology Co. Ltd. ("Jiuyi Technology"), its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company is an online and offline retailer and wholesale distributor of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products in the People's Republic of China ("China" or the "PRC"). The Company's offline retail business is comprised primarily of pharmacies, which are operated by Hangzhou Jiuzhou Grand Pharmacy Chain Co., Ltd. ("Jiuzhou Pharmacy"), a company that the Company controls through contractual arrangements. On March 31, 2017, Jiuxin Management established a subsidiary, Lin'An Jiuzhou Pharmacy Co., Ltd ("Lin'An Jiuzhou") to operate drugstores in Lin'an City.

On January 9, 2020, in order to continue expanding and strengthening its local drugstore network, the Company acquired a local drugstores chain with ten stores at a price of $0.14 (RMB 1). The acquired chain agreed to cease their stores' business and liquidate all of the stores 'accounts after Jiuzhou Pharmacy acquired them. In March 2020, the chain was dissolved and its government insurance reimbursement certificates have been transferred to Jiuzhou Pharmacy.

The Company's offline retail business also includes four 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 May 2014, Shouantang Technology established Hangzhou Shouantang Bio-technology Co., Ltd. ("Shouantang Bio"). In May 2016, Shouantang Bio set up and held 49% of Hangzhou Kahamadi Bio-technology Co., Ltd.("Kahamadi Bio"), a joint venture specializing in brand name development for nutritional supplements. In 2018, Jiuzhou Pharmacy invested a total of $741,540 (RMB5,100,000) in and held 51% of Zhejiang Jiuzhou Linjia Medical Investment and Management Co. Ltd ("Linjia Medical"), which operates two new clinics in Hangzhou as of March 31, 2020. On March 29, 2019, Jiuzhou Pharmacy formed and currently holds 51% of the equity of Zhejiang AyiGe Medical Health Management Co., Ltd. ("Ayi Health"), which is intended to provide technical support such as IT and customer support to our health management business in the future.

The Company currently conducts its online retail pharmacy business through Jiuzhou Pharmacy, which holds the Company's online pharmacy license. On September 10, 2015, Renovation set up Jiuyi Technology to provide additional technical support such as webpage development to our online pharmacy business. In November 2015, the technical support function was transferred back to Jiuzhou Pharmacy, which hosts our online pharmacy.

The Company's wholesale business is primarily conducted through Zhejiang Jiuxin Medicine Co., Ltd. ("Jiuxin Medicine"), which is licensed to distribute prescription and non-prescription pharmaceutical products throughout China. Jiuzhou Pharmacy acquired Jiuxin Medicine on August 25, 2011. On April 20, 2018, 10% of Jiuxin Medicine shares were sold to Hangzhou Kangzhou Biotech Co. Ltd. for total proceeds of $79,625 (RMB 507,760).

The Company's herb farming business is conducted by Hangzhou Qianhong Agriculture Development Co., Ltd. ("Qianhong Agriculture"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiuxin Management. Due to the complexity of the cultivation business, Qianhong Agriculture has not grown herbs in the six months ended September 30, 2020.

Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service had been under the common control of Mr. Lei Liu   and Ms. Li Qi, the three shareholders (the "Owners") since their respective establishment dates, pursuant to agreements among the Owners to vote their interests in concert as memorialized in a voting rights agreement. Based on such voting agreement, the Company has determined that common control exists among these three companies. The Owners have operated these three companies in conjunction with one another since each company's respective establishment date. Jiuxin Medicine is also deemed under the common control of the Owners as a subsidiary of 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: a consulting services agreement, operating agreement, equity pledge agreement, voting rights agreement and option agreement. Because such agreements 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 each of the three companies (as well as subsidiaries of Jiuzhou Pharmacy) as a variable interest entity ("VIE") under the accounting standards of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). Accordingly, the financial statements of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service, as well as the subsidiaries under the control of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuxin Medicine and Shouantang Bio are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company.
