Restricted cash is used to collateralize the Company’s obligation under an operating lease arrangement with a financial institution in conjunction with capital expenditures made for SAP Properties, Inc. (“SAP Properties”). Amounts collateralized increase as the Company incurs additional obligations under the lease arrangement. Interest earned on restricted funds is substantially equal to amounts accrued as rent expense under the terms of the lease. See Note 31.
The Company eliminated restricted cash from cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company previously recorded this amount as cash and cash equivalents and the effect of this adjustment is as follows for the year ended December 31, 2001.
