Revenue from the retail drugstores business increased by $2.02 million, or 2.7%, to $76.10 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 from $74.08 million for the prior fiscal year. However, after removing the impact of exchange rate fluctuation, the actual retail drugstores sales decreased by 1.5%. The actual decrease in retail drugstore sales was primarily due to the negative effect on the overall economy from COVID-19 and the Company's strategic decision to cease selling certain low-profit margin products that are eligible for reimbursement by National Healthcare Security Administration since September 1, 2020.

Revenue from the online pharmacy business increased by $8.94 million, or 66.1%, to $22.48 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 from $13.54 million for the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily caused by an increase in the sales of prescription drugs via e-commerce platforms such as Tmall. In the past, prescription drugs cannot be sold online due to safety concern. After the nation lifted the ban order, online prescription drug sales became popular. As a result, the sale of prescription drugs was $8.24 million in the year ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $1.45 million in the year ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, the Company maintained a membership care program targeted at customers with chronic disease. The Company has closely interacted with its members via WeChat to provide healthcare knowledge, and to remind them to refill medicine. By implementing a personalized customer care program, the Company was able to promote its sales.

Revenue from the wholesale business increased by $4.84 million, or 16.3%, to $34.55 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 from $29.71 million for the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily accomplished by Company's ability to sell certain products, which were sold in large quantity at its retail stores, to other vendors at competitive prices.

Gross profit and gross margin

Total cost of goods sold increased by $12.09 million, or 13.2%, to $103.89 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 from $91.80 million for the prior fiscal year. Gross profit increased by $3.71 million, or 14.6%, to $29.24 million for fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 from $25.53 million for the prior fiscal year. Overall gross margin increased slightly by 0.2 percentage points to 22.0% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, from 21.8% for the prior fiscal year.

Gross margins for retail drugstores, online pharmacy and wholesale were 30.2%, 10.4%, and 11.3%, respectively, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, compared to gross margins for retail drugstores, online pharmacy and wholesale of 28.1%, 10.6%, and 11.0%, respectively, for the prior fiscal year.

Loss from operations

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $3.16 million, or 13.3%, to $26.95 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 from $23.79 million for the prior fiscal year. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to increase in employee's salary and rent for office leases.

General and administrative expenses increased by 2.79 million, or 34.4%, to $10.90 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 from $8.11 million for the prior fiscal year. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the increase in stock-based compensation, offset by the decrease in bad debt expense. In December 2020, the Company issued a total of 3,790,000 shares of common stock and recorded stock-based compensation of approximately $3.9 million. In the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded the reduction in the allowance for bad debts of $1.0 million as compared to increase in bad debt expense in of $0.1 million in fiscal year 2020.

The Company recorded an impairment of long-lived assets of $0.23 million and $0.63 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company evaluated the forest land use rights and recorded an impairment of $0.23 million. In the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company evaluated the licenses of insurance applicable drugstores acquired in the past based on their discounted positive cash value.

Loss from operations was $8.84 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, compared to loss from operations of $7.00 million for the prior fiscal year. Operating margin was (6.6) % and (6.0)% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Net loss

Net loss was $8.38 million, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, compared to net loss of $6.46 million, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share for the prior fiscal year.
