Revenues from Chinese medicinal herbal products increased by $0.25 million, or 8.3%, to $3.30 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $3.05 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to more fulfilled sales orders from customers for the three months ended March 31, 2018 than the same period in 2017.

Revenues from other agricultural products increased by $0.79 million, or 20.9%, to $4.56 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $3.77 million for the same period of last year. The sales of other agricultural products were mainly derived from sales of yew trees and our storage services. The increase was mainly due to the increase in sales volume of yew trees since the public realized the air purification function of the yew trees.

Gross profit and Gross Margin

Operating income

Selling expenses increased by $0.08 million, or 27.4%, to $0.39 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $0.30 million for the same period of last year, primarily due to the acquisition of a new subsidiary, Tianjin Tajite, in October 2017. The increase in selling and distribution expenses was also a result of increased promotion expenses as the Company enhanced its online sales promotions, partially offset by decreased rent expense of warehouse and salary expenses due to more effective cost control during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period of 2017. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.33 million, or 51.5%, to $0.96 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $0.63 million for the same period of last year. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the incorporation and acquisition of new subsidiaries, Tiankunrunze in last quarter of fiscal year 2017, and Xinjiang Taihe and Tianjin Tajite in fiscal year 2018. As a result, total operating expenses increased by $0.41 million, or 43.6%, to $1.34 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $0.94 million for the same period of last year.
