Our Electrical Power Products business segment recorded revenues of $130.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to $163.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. This decrease in revenues is a result of reduced volume related to the reduction in orders and backlog discussed above.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 16.7% of revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 12.7% of revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $22.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $21.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to expenses of approximately $1.6 million incurred for the acquisition of Powell Canada and an increase of approximately $1.0 million in our estimated allowance for bad debts partially offset by reduced commissions expense associated with lower bookings of new orders.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we recorded net income attributable to Powell Industries, Inc. of $9.6 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to $7.9 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 As discussed above, we generated improved gross profit percentages in all of our business segments, as a result of operational efficiencies, a reduced workforce and cancellation fees for orders that were cancelled from our Electrical Power Products business segment backlog.
The order backlog at December 31, 2009, was $341.7 million, compared to $365.8 million at September 30, 2009 and $509.4 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Backlog decreased during the second half of fiscal 2009 and into fiscal 2010 as an increasing number of our customers cancelled or delayed the start of new capital projects for various reasons. This decline in orders in the second half of fiscal 2009 and the first quarter of fiscal 2010 will negatively impact our revenues in fiscal 2010.
At December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $83.2 million, compared to $97.4 million at September 30, 2009. We have a $58.5 million revolving credit facility in the U.S. and an additional $6.4 million revolving credit facility in the United Kingdom, both of which expire in December 2012.

Letters of credit outstanding were $11.8 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $17.6 million at September 30, 2009, which reduce our availability under our credit facilities.
