Concentration of Credit Risk [Policy Text Block]

Concentration of Credit Risk

Because the Company’s bank is a member of the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS), the Company’s large deposits are divided into smaller amounts and placed with other FDIC insured banks which are also members of the CDARS network.  Then, those member banks issue CDs in amounts under $250,000, so that the entire deposit balance is eligible for FDIC insurance. Due to large fluctuations in the operating checking account, there may be times when the balance is above the $250,000 FDIC threshold.  At June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 the Company had cash deposits of $543,000 and $417,000, respectively, in the operating checking account that were in excess of the $250,000 federally insured limit with Pacific Premier Bank.

Fair Value Measurements [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value Measurements

Our financial assets and liabilities consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and rental deposits, and are reported at fair value. The estimated fair value of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and rental deposits approximates their carrying value.
