Capital Reserve
A type of account on a municipality's or company's balance sheet that is reserved for long-term capital investment projects or any other large and anticipated expense(s) that will be made in the future. This type of reserve fund is set aside to ensure that the company or municipality has adequate funding to at least partially finance the project.
Investopedia Says:
Contributions to the capital reserve account can be made from government subsidies, donated funds, or can be set aside from the firm's or municipality's regular revenue-generating operations. Once recorded on the reporting entity's balance sheet, these funds are only to be spent on the capital expenditure projects for which they were initially intended, excluding any unforeseen circumstances.

These are accounts that are set up to post between companies. For instance, one company pays health insurance for it's self and another company. A portion of the payment is an expense of that company and a portion of that payment is due to the first company from the second company. So, instead of the two companies having to pay each other for every transaction every day. The due to/from intercompany account gets credited and debited so that all the transactions for the period (usually each month) are netted and one check is cut.
