Change
in Registrant’s Certifying
Accountant

Effective
April 6, 2010, the Registrant engaged Madsen & Associates CPA’s, Inc.
(“Madsen”) to audit the financial statements of Kerrisdale Mining Corporation
(“Kerrisdale”), the Registrant’s predecessor corporate entity, for the fiscal
years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 of Kerrisdale. Madsen audited Kerrisdale’s
financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, and
reviewed its unaudited financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended
October 31, 2008, January 31, 2009 and April 30, 2009.
As
previously disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on
September 24, 2009, on September 17, 2009, the Registrant (then known as
Kerrisdale) consummated a share exchange transaction with Renovation Investment
(Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., and in connection therewith, changed its name to “China
Jo-Jo Drugstores, Inc.,” and its fiscal year end from July 31 to March 31. On
November 11, 2009, Madsen was dismissed as the Registrant’s certifying
independent accountant, and replaced by Frazer Frost LLP (the successor entity
of Moore Stephens Wurth Frazer and Torbet, LLP, “Frazer Frost”).
The
engagement of Madsen is for the specific purpose of auditing Kerrisdale’s
financial statements for its fiscal years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, and
Frazer Frost shall remain as the Registrant’s certifying independent accountant
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. Accordingly, the engagement of Madsen
will terminate immediately after the filing of an annual report on Form 10-K for
Kerrisdale for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, which report will be filed
pursuant to a comment from the Staff of the SEC in connection with the
Registrant’s registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC File Number
333-163879).
The
engagement of Madsen was approved by the audit committee of the Registrant's
board of directors.
