Jin Medical International Ltd.
The China-based VIE, Changzhou Zhongjin, and its subsidiaries, design and manufacture wheelchairs and living aids products for people with disabilities, the elderly, and people recovering from injury. Our business focuses primarily on wheelchairs. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, sales of wheelchairs and wheelchair components represented approximately 96.9% and 99.7%, respectively, of our revenue, while sales of living aids products such as oxygen concentrators and bathing machines represented approximately 3.1% and 0.3%, respectively, of our revenue. Currently, our living aids products are only sold to a few selected customers to test the markets for these products. The majority of our products are sold to dealers in Japan and China, while a small number of our products are also sold to dealers located in other regions including the United States, Canada, Australia, Korea, Israel, Singapore, and others. Since 2006, Changzhou Zhongjin has been designing and manufacturing wheelchairs. Almost all of its wheelchairs currently for sale are manual wheelchairs. Changzhou Zhongjin only started selling electric wheelchairs in 2018, and electric wheelchairs accounted for approximately 0.4% and 1.0% of its revenue for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The manual wheelchair product category has a wide range of products at various price points, consisting of more than thirty models. The mid to high-end wheelchairs and components are mostly geared towards customers in Japan, and the relatively lower-end wheelchairs and components are targeted for customers in China. We believe the wheelchair markets in Japan and China are favorably exposed to multiple macro-economic growth driving factors such as rising spending power, growing popularity of outdoor and active lifestyles for the disabled population, and general needs for better mobility equipment. In addition, we believe demand for our products in Japan and China will increase over the next several decades due to the growing aging population. According to the Frost & Sullivan Report, as of early 2020, more than 25% of Japan’s population is over 65 years old, the highest proportion in the world, and by 2030, one in every three people will be 65 or older. Japanese demographers estimate that senior citizens will account for 40% of the population in Japan in 2060. Similarly, in China, according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the population aged 65 or above has grown at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of 6.1% from approximately 150.4 million to approximately 190.6 million from 2016 to 2020. We believe the expansion of the aging populations in Japan and China will continue in the near future, providing a real opportunity for us to grow our business. We seek to deliver quality products with customized attributes tailored to our end users’ specifications at competitive prices. Our wheelchairs are designed to be lightweight and ergonomic. Changzhou Zhongjin operates two manufacturing facilities in China, where we carry out design, engineering, manufacturing, and assembly of its products. Changzhou Zhongjin owns the facilities located in Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China, and leases the facility located in Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province, China for a term of 30 years from 2014 to 2043. While we strive to achieve efficiency by standardizing and optimizing certain procedures across the production cycle, we understand the importance of maintaining the quality of our products and strictly enforce our quality control protocols at every step of our production process. As of the date of this prospectus, all of Changzhou Zhongjin’s products are distributed through qualified dealers in the markets where it operates. Changzhou Zhongjin has a stable and well-established distribution network, which has helped it grow its sales and expand its market for more than a decade. As of the date of this prospectus, Changzhou Zhongjin has established relationships with over forty distributors in China, and over twenty in the other regions of the world where we currently sell our products. The management is constantly looking to add qualified and reputable distributors to our network and have built long-term relationships with a number of them. For example, we have been a supplier to Nissin Medical Industries Co., Ltd (“Nissin”), our largest dealer and sole distributor in Japan, since 2006. Despite the number of dealers we work with, the majority of our sales, or approximately 73.0% and 78.2% of our revenues for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were attributed to Nissin. In addition, 7.5% and 5.0% of our total revenue was attributed to Nissin’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Colours’n Motion Inc (“Colors”), Nissin Medical Co., Ltd. (“Nissin Korea”) and Nissin Medical Vietnam Co., Ltd. (“Nissin Vietnam”), aggregately, for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Nissin is one of the largest medical device distributors in Japan, and all our products sold to Nissin were original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) products that were manufactured according to specifications requested by Nissin and sold to the end-users in Japan under Nissin’s brands. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Nissin was the only customer that accounted for more than 10% of our revenue. Our research and development (“R&D”) capabilities have always been a cornerstone of our success. Changzhou Zhongjin’s R&D department currently has 56 employees, many of whom own advanced degrees in engineering and related fields. Our CEO, Dr. Erqi Wang, is the core leader of our R&D department. Dr. Wang pioneered a tailor-made concept for “rehabilitation wheelchair” design in China that allows users to adjust wheelchair functions according to their individual conditions. Our wheelchairs designed under this concept have won a number of design awards in China, including the Changzhou Science and Technology Progress Award in 2012, the Wujin District Science and Technology Progress Award in 2012, the Silver Award of the First Industrial Design Competition of Jiangsu Province in 2013, and the CF Silver Award of the “Canton Fair” in 2014. Changzhou Zhongjin and its subsidiaries own 106 patents and are in the process of registering 22 additional patents with the Patent Administration Department of the PRC. We are committed to further invest in R&D efforts to deliver innovative products to meet the needs of our customers. Beginning in 2018, to expand business and diversify product offerings, we started to explore the markets for electric wheelchairs and other living aids products, such as oxygen concentrators and bathing machines. As of the date of this prospectus, our R&D team has developed a number of new products, including: a portable oxygen concentrator, which is one of the smallest on the market designed for people needing oxygen supply while maintaining their independence and mobility; a lightweight electric wheelchair that weighs only 17 kg and adopts an anti-tilting system equipped with safety belts; and an electric lifting bathing machine that adopts unique user-friendly designs such as foot-locked rear casters that ensure the stable and comfortable lifting operation and bathing experience. As of the date of this prospectus, we are in the process of evaluating the markets and viability of these new products by introducing them to a few selected dealers in different regions. We are led by a management team with extensive experience in R&D, manufacturing and commercialization of wheelchairs and living aids product. We believe our management team is well positioned to lead us through the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our future products, while maintaining and improving the market position of our existing products. Our financial and operating results for the last two fiscal years were as follows: our revenue was $19,190,541 and $20,764,273 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively; our net income was $2,706,527 and $2,631,706 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the fiscal year 2021, as our business and the overall economy continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, our revenue and net income increased by 28.2% and 19.3%, respectively, compared to the same period of the fiscal year 2020. For the fiscal year 2022, our revenue was $19,190,541, a 7.6% decrease compared to the same period of the fiscal year 2021, and our net income was $2,706,527, a 2.8% increase compared to the same period of the fiscal year 2021. The decrease in our revenue for fiscal year 2022 was mainly due to the negative impact of the recent resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic in China.
