(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash includes currency, checks issued by others, other currency equivalents, current deposits and passbook deposits held by financial institutions. For financial statement purposes, all highly liquid debt instruments with insignificant interest rate risk and maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalent. Cash equivalents consist primarily of cash deposits in money market funds that are available for withdrawal without restriction.
