NOTE 1 - GENERAL
NATURE OF OPERATIONS Occidental conducts its operations through various subsidiaries and affiliates. Occidental has made its disclosures in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles as they apply to interim reporting, and condensed or omitted, as permitted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations, certain information and disclosures normally included in Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto. These unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto in Occidental's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of Occidental’s management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present Occidental’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income (Loss), Cash Flows and Stockholders' Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Certain data in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and notes for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The income and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the income or cash flows to be expected for the full year. CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH EQUIVALENTS Occidental considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents or restricted cash equivalents. The cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents balances for the periods presented included investments in government money market funds in which the carrying value approximates fair value. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents as reported in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows as of March 31, 2022 and 2021:
