Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Included in cash and cash equivalents are credit card and debit card receivables from banks, which settle within two business days, of $55.4 million at August 31, 2005, and $53.3 million at August 31, 2004. The company's cash management policy provides for controlled disbursement. As a result, the company maintains overdraft positions at certain banks. Such overdrafts, which were $339.4 million as of August 31, 2005, and $226.7 million as of August 31, 2004, are included in trade accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
