Overall financial resources decreased approximately $0.5 million from December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to approximately $4.1 million used by operations more fully described below in results of operations, purchases of property, plant and equipment of approximately $0.5 million relating to our purchase commitments for the Brisas Project, partially offset by net proceeds from the disposition of marketable securities of approximately $0.2 million and approximately $3.9 million from the disposition of equipment.
Investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 included net investment in property, plant and equipment of approximately $0.5 million compared to $2.9 million, respectively. These payments primarily relate to obligations related to the 2007 equipment orders for Brisas. Management continues with its efforts to dispose of certain assets originally acquired for the Brisas Project. In the third quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company recovered approximately $3.9 million through the disposal of these assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, net proceeds from disposition of marketable securities totaled approximately $0.2 million compared to nil, respectively.
2 The Company originally placed orders totaling $125.3 million for the fabrication of processing equipment, mobile equipment and other mining equipment and related engineering. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had equipment orders totaling $61.7 million and has made payments on these orders of $52.7 million.
Consolidated net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $5.0 million, an increase of approximately $1.3 million from 2009. The change in net loss was due to a decrease in other income of approximately $0.3 million and an increase in expenses of approximately $1 million.
On February 15, 2009, Rusoro and Endeavour both filed a motion with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice seeking permission to appeal to the Divisional Court the February 10, 2009 order that was granted against them. The Company opposed these motions which were heard in Toronto on April 2, 2009. On April 6, 2009 the permission to appeal was denied. Rusoro has filed a counterclaim against the Company for, among other things, damages of Cdn $102.5 million allegedly arising from the Company s successful motion for an interlocutory injunction. Endeavour has filed a $0.5 million counter claim against the Company relating to the lost opportunity to earn a success fee from the successful completion of the Rusoro offer. Costs associated with the takeover defense and litigation amounted to $2.0 million and $5.4 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
