Cash & Equivalents
Cash and Equivalents represents short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so close to their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in interest rates. Only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under these definitions. When cash is delineated separately it is classified as Cash, rather than as Cash and Equivalents.
