Revenue from the retail drugstores business increased by $0.77 million, or 4.8%, to $16.74 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $15.97 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to consumer-facing benefits such as emphasis on onsite medical care, chronic disease management services, incremental Direct-to-Patient ("DTP") business caused by continuous hospital medical reform, and maturing of stores opened a year ago.

Revenue from the online pharmacy business increased by $0.42 million, or 20.9%, to $2.44 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $2.02 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily caused by an increase in sales via e-commerce platforms such as Tmall, offset slightly by the decline in sales via the Company's official site. Popular products at reasonable prices are key to success in online business. In order to promote the Company's sales, the Company focused on the selection of medical equipment suitable to local customers.  For example, sales of blood glucose meters and contact lens contributed significantly to our revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period a year ago.

Revenue from the wholesale business increased by $1.32 million, or 27.6%, to $6.10 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $4.78 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily a result of the Company's ability to resell certain products, which the Company sold in large quantity at its retail stores, to other vendors at competitive prices.
