For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, revenues increased by $15.4 million, or 13.1%, to $132.4 million from $117.0 million for 2016. This decrease was primarily due to a 10.9% increase in sales of rare earth coated PC wires and PC strands, a 46.1% increase in zinc coated PC wires and PC strands, and a 14.9% increase in plain surface PC strands, partially offset by a 13.2% decrease in other products.
The sales of coated PC steel materials, including both rare earth and zinc coated products, increased by $14.8 million, or 13.6%, to $124.4 million and accounted for 94% of total sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 from $109.6 million, or 93.6% of total sales, for the same period of last year. This increase in sales of coated PC steel materials was the result of increase in sales for both rare earth coated products and zinc coated products. Sales of rare earth coated products increased by $11.1 million, or 10.9%, to $112.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 from $101.4 million for the same period of last year. Sales of zinc coated products increased by $3.8 million, or 46.1%, to $12.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 from $8.2 million for the same period of last year. Sales of plain surface PC strands and PC wires increased by $0.8 million, or 14.9%, to $6.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 from $5.3 million for the same period of last year. The increase of sales generated by plain surface PC strands and PC wires was primarily due to to favorable wholesale market demand during the period. Other sales were $1.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $2.2 million for the same period of last year. This decrease was primarily due to fewer spare raw materials sold in 2017 compared to 2016 and the decrease of service revenue.
The Company generated approximately 4.1% and 4.2%, respectively, of total revenues during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 from sales to customers in international markets including primarily Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Costa Rica, South Africa, and Chile, primarily for use in the construction of bridges.
Gross profit decreased by $1.4 million, or 9%, to $14.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 from $16.1 million for the same period of last year. Gross margin decreased by 270 basis points to 11.1% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 from 13.8% for the same period of last year. The decrease of gross margin was primarily due to the increase of the price of raw materials and due to the fact that the orders for plain surface products were mainly wholesale orders, which normally have lower gross profit margin than the retail orders in 2016. Gross margins for rare earth and zinc coated products were 10.0% and 9.5%, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, compared to 11.3% and 14.7%, respectively, for the same period of last year. Gross margin for plain surface PC strands and PC wires was 7.0% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, compared to 22.6% for the same period of last year.
Selling expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 18.4%, to $0.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 from $0.7 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was due to lower sales commission and lower transportation cost. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 5.9%, to $6.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 from $6.4 million for the same period of last year, mainly due to lower bad-debt provision, partially offset by higher research and development cost in 2017. As a result, total operating expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 7.2%, to $6.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 from $7.1 million for the same period of last year.
Operating income decreased by $0.9 million, or 10.4%, to $8.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 from $9.0 million for the same period of last year. This decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit partially offset by lower operating expenses. Operating margin was 6.1% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, compared to 7.7% for the same period of last year.
Net income increased by $0.6 million, or 10.8%, to $5.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 from $5.3 million for the same period of last year.
After deducting net income attributable to non-controlling interest, net income attributable to Ossen Innovation increased by $0.5 million, or 10.8%, to $5.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 from $4.8 million for the same period of last year. Earnings per ordinary share, both basic and diluted, were $0.27 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $0.24 for the same period of last year. Earnings per ADS (one ADS equals to three ordinary shares), both basic and diluted, were $0.81 and $0.72 for 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Net cash used by operating activities was $3.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $15.5 million provided by operating activities for the same period of last year.

Net cash used in financing activities was $4.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $7.5 million for the same period of last year. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was the result of a decrease in proceeds from notes payable, a decrease in proceeds from short-term bank loans, and a decrease in proceeds from long-term bank loans, partially offset by a decrease in repayments of bond payable, a decrease in repayment of notes payable and a decrease in repayments of short-term bank loans.
Recent Developments
On July 19, 2017, Ossen entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "SEA") with the shareholders (the "Selling Shareholders") of America-Asia Diabetes Research Foundation (the "Foundation"), a California corporation that owns 90.27% of the equity interests of San MediTech (Huzhou) Co. Ltd. ("San MediTech"), a China-based medical device company engaged in the research, development and marketing of glucose control products. Pursuant to the SEA, Ossen agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Foundation in exchange for 81,243,000 of Ossen's ordinary shares (the "Acquisition"). Upon completion of the Acquisition, Ossen would indirectly own 90.27% of San MediTech. San MediTech's proprietary Dynamic Glucose Monitoring System ("DGMS") provides continuous, real-time monitoring of glucose level in diabetes patients, with two patents granted in China and several patents pending both in China and the U.S. DGMS has been approved by the China Food and Drug Administration and has entered into clinical trials in the U.S. for DGMS.
In connection with the Acquisition, Ossen agreed to sell its existing pre-stressed steel manufacturing business, including all existing liabilities, immediately following the completion of the Acquisition. An entity affiliated with Dr. Liang Tang, the Chairman of the board of Ossen, agreed to acquire all of the equity of Ossen's wholly-owned subsidiary, which indirectly owns all of Ossen's existing operating subsidiaries, in exchange for the forfeiture and cancellation of all 11,850,000 ordinary shares currently held by Dr. Tang (the "Sale Transaction").
On May 8, 2018, Ossen announced the termination of the SEA. The Foundation and its shareholders failed to satisfy the closing conditions set forth in the SEA. As a result, the Company terminated the SEA. In connection therewith, the sale transaction is deemed terminated.
On December 12, 2017, the Company announced the completion of its 2017 annual general meeting of shareholders. At the Annual Meeting, the Company's shareholders re-elected seven directors, Dr. Liang Tang, Mr. Wei Hua, Mr. Junhong Li, Mr. Xiaobing Liu, Ms. Yingli Pan, and Mr. Zhongcai Wu to the Board of Directors and re-appointed BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP as the Company's independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.
