Cash Equivalents

Note F – Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less from date of purchase. We place our temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, certain investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit, or otherwise may not be covered by FDIC insurance.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents included short-term investments of approximately $2.3 million as of September 30, 2011 and $1.7 million as of December 31, 2010 which were held at a bank in Brazil.
