"The first half of fiscal year 2021 was really tough for us. As COVID-19 continues to spread in different provinces in China, the performance of our experience stores was greatly impaired. During the six months ended September 30 2021, we closed 70% experience stores to avoid further losses." Mr. Xuezhu Wang, CEO of the Company, continued, "However, we still see a lot of hopes and highlights in the first six months, and we did accomplish some good results. In the first six months, our ecommerce sales started from September 2020 have reached over $21.48 million, 84% more than the sales of health products. Our internet information and advertising service started from October 2020 generated sales of approximately $8.25 million, and our automobile sales started from November 2020 have reached approximately $5.48 million. These newly developed businesses have now become the main drive of our business. With the continuous closing of our experience stores and the development of these newly launched businesses, we believe we will gradually get out of the haze and return to the right track of profitability."
