Selling and administrative expense was $16.2 million for the three months ended November 30, 2009 compared to $16.0 million for the comparable prior period, an increase of $0.2 million. The increase was primarily due to the reversal of certain reserves of $0.2 million taken in the current year compared to $1.0 million in the prior year. Excluding these reserve reversals, selling and administrative expense was lower in the current period principally due to decreased employee related costs and the effects of cost reduction efforts.
Capital expenditures totaled $11.9 million and $8.5 million for the three months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008. Of these capital expenditures, approximately $8.4 million and $3.3 million were attributable to Leasing & Services operations. Leasing & Services capital expenditures for 2010, net of proceeds from sales of equipment, are expected to be minimal depending on market conditions and fleet management objectives. We regularly sell assets from our lease fleet, some of which may have been purchased within the current year and included in capital expenditures. Proceeds from sales of equipment were $2.7 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008.
Cash used in financing activities was $3.4 million for the three months ended November 30, 2009 compared to cash provided in financing activities of $49.4 million during the three months ended November 30, 2008. During the three months ended November 30, 2009 we repaid $3.9 million in net revolving credit lines and $1.2 million in term debt. This was partially offset by $1.7 million received in net proceeds from a new term loan borrowing. During the prior comparable period $51.1 million in net proceeds were received from revolving note borrowings.
All amounts originating in foreign currency have been translated at the November 30, 2009 exchange rate for the following discussion. As of November 30, 2009 senior secured revolving credit facilities, consisting of two components, aggregated $123.6 million. As of November 30, 2009 a $100.0 million revolving line of credit was available to provide working capital and interim financing of equipment, principally for the United States and Mexican operations. Advances under this revolving credit facility bear interest at variable rates that depend on the type of borrowing and the defined ratio of debt to total capitalization. In addition, current lines of credit totaling $23.6 million, with various variable rates, are available for working capital needs of the European manufacturing operation. European credit facilities are continually being renewed. Currently these European credit facilities have maturities that range from March 2010 through June 2010.
