2. The budget indicates that the minimum cash balance will not be maintained in October. This is due to the capital expenditures and note repayment requiring significant cash outflows during this month. This situation can be corrected by borrowing and/or by the sale of the marketable securities, if they are held for such purposes. At the end of August and September, the cash balance will exceed the minimum desired balance, and the excess could be considered for temporary investment.
