Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of California First National Bancorp (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries California First National Bank (“CalFirst Bank” or the “Bank”) and California First Leasing Corporation (“CalFirst Leasing”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016. The material under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is written with the presumption that the readers have read or have access to the 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of June 30, 2016 and for the year then ended.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 and the statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The results of operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2017.

Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2016 financial statements to conform to the presentation of the fiscal 2017 financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” ASU 2016-15 addresses diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new requirement on the cash flows of the Company.
