YIWU, China, May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Yosen Lamapai Hangzhou Flagship Store, also known as "Yosen Lamapai cross-border O2O ("Online to Offline") Experience Store" as announced late last year, just had its grand opening in Hangzhou Binjiang. Zhejiang Yosen Lamapai E-Commerce Co., Ltd. ("Yosen Lamapai") was established last year by Yosen Group, Inc. (stock symbol: YOSN) ("Yosen", or "the Company") to build a leading B2C+O2O global shopping platform following the company's strategy of "providing one-stop services to the cross border trade while allowing consumers the joy of shopping globally without stepping outside of the border".

Yosen Lamapai's first imported goods O2O experience store is located at B2 of Star City, Star Avenue Phase II, occupying 1,845 square meters (approximately 20,000 square feet). It consists of two areas: one as the imported products supermarket (8000 SKU of global quality products from over 50 countries, covering 90% of the business area) and the other for dining and services. The store carries frozen and live seafood, fruits and vegetables, nutraceuticals, alcohol, beverages, snack food, maternity and baby products, consumer electronics and appliances, women supplies, cosmetics, clothing and accessories.

This flagship experience store is taking a leading position in the domestic market. It not only provides a comfortable shopping environment for imported goods at reasonable prices, but also brings in a food court to enhance the "Integration of Consumption" experience. Because of the strong supply chain relationships that Yosen enjoys with its partners, the prices here are generally lower than those in other stores. The store is expected to bring RMB 150,000 (approximately USD 25,000) in daily sales with a 30% gross margin, and RMB 55 million (approximately USD 9 million) in annual sales.

Mr. Yueyong Liu, Director of Union Developing Group, commented, "We are very happy to have Yosen Lamapai here in Star Avenue. Yosen Lamapai represents an advanced business philosophy and has a strong operating team, which are a perfect fit to the modern shopping mall concept and requirements. Its offline experience feature fills the blank for Star Avenue, and supplements exactly our business development needs. I believe this experience store will bring more joy and convenience to our customers."

Mr. Zhenggang Wang, CEO of Yosen Group, commented, "Yosen Lamapai is committed to introducing modern living concepts to Chinese consumers and building a direct sale platform for international brands. Hangzhou Binjiang has evolved into Hangzhou's first high-tech industry innovation base. It has 5,000 enterprises such as Alibaba and NetEase. We believe Yosen Lamapai's first O2O experience store and its 'shopping globally without stepping outside of the boarder' model will become the new trend for Binjiang people."

The audit reports of GKM on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, audit scope, or accounting principles. The auditors' report was however modified as to uncertainty relating to going concern.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and any subsequent interim period preceding January 28, 2015, the Company did not consult with MJF on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and MJF did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and any subsequent interim period preceding January 28, 2015, there were: (i) no disagreements between the Company and GKM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of GKM, would have caused GKM to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in their reports on the Company's financial statements for such period, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided GKM a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that GKM furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not GKM agrees with the Company's statements in this Item 4.01(a). A copy of the letter dated February 3, 2015 furnished by GKM in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

Their investment in yiwugou.com alone has reached hundreds of millions RMB. Based on the Agreement, Yosen will benefit from CCC Group's voluminous information on hundreds of thousands merchants and suppliers, as well as their marketing support and traffic referral. Furthermore, Yosen will enjoy all the subsequent profits from the cooperation and the New York e-commerce platform. With the many favorable terms and free support from CCC Group, we are convinced that this cooperation will generate significant value for Yosen's shareholders."

"As the first company in Yiwu that went public in the United States, Yosen was privileged to have received much attention from the local government as well as state-owned companies. We decided to start international trade and wholesale business end of last year, and we have made breakthrough within a very short period of time in New York. This also raised a great deal of attention from CCC Group. The exclusive agreement has far exceeded our team's original plan and expectation," added Mr. Wang. "Yosen was honored to be invited to China's first national level e-commerce forum two weeks ago. We had the opportunity to discuss with many leading internet companies how to integrate efficiently offline resources and online platforms. We will take advantage of our yiwuny.com opportunity to cooperate with professional companies by leveraging cutting edge big data technology and operating model in building our platform.

Management Discussion and Analysis

Total Company Net Sales

Net sales for 2013 totaled $12,787,878, a year-over-year decrease of $8,709,246 or 40.5% compared to $21,497,124 for 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the Company’s reorganization and refocusing its product mix. The decrease is also attributable to the increased competition in the cell phone products market in China.


Net Loss from Continuing Operations

Net loss from continuing operations for 2013 was $3,441,949 or (26.9)% of net sales compared to $9,213,515 or (42.9)% for 2012. Lower general and administrative expenses contributed to the decrease in loss from operations.


Net Loss from Discontinued Operations

Net loss from discontinued operations for 2013 was $184,739 compared to $6,653,484 for 2012, a decrease of $6,468,745. The decrease in net loss from discontinued operations was due to Yiwu and Jinhua having net losses in 2012 but not operating in 2013.


Net Loss

Net loss for 2013 was $3,626,688 compared to $15,866,999 for 2012, a decrease of $12,240,311.

Corporate Structure Info.

HANGZHOU, China, July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- In response to questions from investors, China 3C Group (stock symbol: CHCG) ("China 3C", or "the Company", or "we") provides clarification regarding the ownership structure of the Company's foreign-owned entity. The Company's Wholly Foreign Owned Entity (WFOE) Zhejiang YongXin Digital Technology Company Limited ("Zhejiang") was incorporated under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("PRC" or "China") on July 11, 2005. Zhejiang became 100% controlled by Capital Future Developments Limited ("Capital"), a BVI company, through share-holding entrustment agreements on November 21, 2005. Capital became a wholly owned subsidiary of China 3C through merger agreements on December 21, 2005. As such, Zhejiang became a 100% controlled subsidiary of China 3C. Since then, the direct ownership structure has not been altered.

On August 15, 2007, we executed a series of contractual agreements between Capital and Zhejiang. However, we did not dispose of Capital's equity ownership of Zhejiang when we executed the contractual agreements. As a result, these contractual agreements did not affect the equity ownership of Zhejiang. The agreements only provided additional support that Capital and its equity owners have the obligation and the ability to absorb any losses, and the rights to receive distribution of returns from Zhejiang. Capital remains as the owner of 100% of Zhejiang's equity. Capital enjoys the actual shareholder's rights to obtain any benefits that any nominal shareholders would receive from Zhejiang
