Help reading an annual report?
Posted on May 27, 2009 with Comments 2
I have to do a project on a company, and its annual report is somewhat confusing……I just need help ananlyzing this paragraph:
“The Corporation considers all investment securities with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. All cash and temporary investments are placed with high-credit-quality financial institutions, and the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution is limited. At December 31, cash and cash equivalents include restricted funds of $42 million.”
Firstly, what does “restricted funds” mean at the end?? Also, what is it meant by, “….credit exposure to any one financial institution is limited”
And finally, one of the questions ask if the company’s cash equivalents are debt or equity securities and how do you know….
Please help & thx in advanced!!
