Revenue from the retail drugstores business decreased slightly by $0.14 million, or 0.7%, to $18.00 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $18.14 million for the same period of last year, due to the RMB's dramatic depreciation against the USD from the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Revenue from the online pharmacy business increased by $0.23 million, or 10.8%, to $2.35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $2.12 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales via e-commerce platforms such as Tmall, offset slightly by a decline in sales via the Company's official site. Popular products at reasonable prices are key to success in our online business. In order to promote the Company's sales, the Company focused on selecting medical equipment tailored to the demands of local customers.

Revenue from the wholesale business increased by $0.85 million, or 11.9%, to $8.00 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $7.15 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 quantities at its retail stores, to other vendors at competitive prices.

Loss from operations
