The cash-in-hand and store money essentially presented cash-in-hand at stores and funds in transit at cash transportation companies. The increase in cash-in-hand was due mainly to the calendar year, although it was also caused by the increase in the number of stores.
The bank balances include both current account balances and demand and time deposits.
The cash and cash equivalents, less the overdraft facilities presented under liabilities to banks, shown here comprise the cash funds within the meaning of the cash flow statement. The change in cash funds is presented in the cash flow statement (see note 38 "Cash Flow Statement").
