Cash comprises bank balances, cash-on-hand, and checks. Cash equivalents are short-term liquid investments, such as money market funds, that can be converted into cash at any time and are exposed to no more than insignificant fluctuations in value. Given the very short terms (e.g. due on demand) and the creditworthiness of our contractual partners, no impairment was identified based on expected credit losses.
