Second Half 2010 Financial Results
Revenue for the second half of fiscal year 2010 totaled $58.7 million, with $27.3 million, or 46% generated from the sale of coated pre-stressed steel materials that are used in the construction of bridges. This represented an increase of $9.4 million, or 53% over $17.8 million in sales of coated pre-stressed steel products during the same period of 2009. In addition, among the $27.3 million sales of coated pre-stressed steel materials, $25.8 million, or 95% of the sales were contributed by sales of rare earth coated pre-stressed steel wires and strands.
Gross profit increased $4.2 million to $13.0 million, representing a gross margin of 22.0%. The primary reason for the increases in both gross profits and gross margin was increased sales of higher margin coated pre-stressed steel wires and strands, which on average generate a gross margin around 29.1% as compared to roughly 12.2% for the plain surface products.
Operating income was $11.8 million in the last six months of 2010, up from $8.0 million in the comparable period in 2009, with associated operating margins of 20.1% and 13.2%, for each respective period. Net income and EPS were $7.5 million and $0.38 for the second half of 2010 compared to $5.8 million and $0.38, respectively, in the second half of 2009.
"2010 was a key inflection point for Ossen." stated Dr. Liang Tang, Chairman of Ossen Innovation. "We dramatically increased production of our coated products, which positively impacted our growth, margins and profitability. As the Chinese government continues to push forward on multiple high profile bridge projects around the country, demand for our products remain strong. We believe that once we complete our new coated products capacity expansion, we will further solidify our position as a market leader."

Sales of rare earth coated PC wires and PC strands increased by $41.1 million to $57.7 million due to high demand and management's deliberate strategy to increase sales of this high margin product. These products accounted for approximately 49% of sales in 2010 compared to 15% in 2009.
Sales of stabilized PC wires were $16.3 million compared to $52.2 million in 2009 as a result of the Company allocating production capacity away from commodity products to rare earth coated products, which commenced production in the second half of 2009.
