Forward Looking Statements
This Form 8-K and other reports filed by Registrant from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, Registrant’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Registrant’s management. When used in the filings the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to Registrant or Registrant’s management identify forward looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of Registrant with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to Registrant’s industry, Registrant’s operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by Registrant. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.
Although Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, Registrant cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, Registrant does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
| Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On September 24, 2009, the Registrant’s amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to reflect a name change from “Kerrisdale Mining Corporation” to “China Jo-Jo Drugstores, Inc.” became effective. The name change was effected through a parent/subsidiary merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary, China Jo-Jo Drugstores, Inc., with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant as the surviving corporation. The Registrant filed its Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State and the merger became effective on September 24, 2009. The Registrant’s board of directors approved the merger which resulted in the name change. In accordance with Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, shareholder approval of the merger was not required. We also disclosed this name change in our previous Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 24, 2009.
The Registrant’s name change to “China Jo-Jo Drugstores, Inc.” became effective with NASDAQ’s Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the open of business on September 24, 2009 under the new stock symbol “CJJD”. The Registrant’s new CUSIP number is 16949A107.
