Cash and Cash Equivalents
The following footnote appeared in a recent financial statement of Oakwood Corporation :

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 $36 million.
