Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for interim statements and, therefore, do not include all information and disclosures necessary for fair presentation of results of operations, financial position, and changes in cash flow in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, such statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the period presented. The unaudited financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2016 audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2016. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. Nature of Business American Church Mortgage Company, a Minnesota corporation, was incorporated on May 27, 1994. The Company was organized to engage primarily in the business of making mortgage loans to churches and other nonprofit religious organizations throughout the United States, on terms established for individual organizations. Accounting Estimates Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most sensitive estimates relate to the realizability of the mortgage loans receivable, the valuation of the bond portfolio and real estate held for sale. It is at least reasonably possible that these estimates could change in the near term and that the effect of the change, if any, may be material to the financial statements. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's loans have been granted to churches and other non-profit religious organizations. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent on member contributions and the involvement in the church or organization of its senior pastor. Cash and Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains accounts primarily at two financial institutions. At times throughout the year, the Company’s cash and equivalents balances may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Cash in money market funds is not federally insured. The Company had $39,467 and $14,841 in money market fund accounts at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Bond Portfolio The Company accounts for the bond portfolio under the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320. The Company classifies the bond portfolio as “available-for-sale” and measures the portfolio at fair value. While the bonds are generally held until contractual maturity, the Company classifies them as available-for-sale as the bonds may be used to repay secured investor certificates or provide additional liquidity or working capital in the short term. The Company has classified $125,000 and $111,000 in bonds as current assets as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, based on management’s estimates for liquidity requirements and contractual maturities of certain bonds maturing in 2017 and 2016, respectively. Allowance for Mortgage Loans Receivable The Company records mortgage loans receivable at estimated net realizable value, which is the unpaid principal balances of the mortgage loans receivable, less the allowance for mortgage loans. The Company’s loan loss policy provides an allowance for estimated uncollectible loans based on an evaluation of the current status of the loan portfolio. This policy provides for principal amounts outstanding on a particular loan if cumulative interruptions occur in the normal payment schedule of a loan; therefore, the Company recognizes a provision for losses and an allowance for the outstanding principal amount of a loan in the Company’s portfolio if the amount is in doubt of collection. Additionally, no additional interest income is recognized on impaired loans that are declared to be in default and are in the foreclosure process. At March 31, 2017, the Company provided $1,335,357 for seventeen mortgage loans, of which seven totaling approximately $3,453,000 are three or more mortgage payments in arrears, three loans totaling approximately $1,226,000 are declared to be in default and two loans totaling approximately $627,000 are in the foreclosure process. At December 31, 2016, the Company provided $1,311,983 for seventeen mortgage loans, of which seven totaling approximately $3,449,000 were three or more mortgage payments in arrears, three loans totaling approximately $1,226,000 were declared to be in default and two loans totaling approximately $627,000 were in the foreclosure process. A summary of transactions in the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is as follows: Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 1,311,983 Provision for additional losses 23,374 Balance at March 31, 2017 $ 1,353,357 The allowance for credit losses had provision for additional losses of $52,099 and charge-offs of $18,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The total impaired loans, which are loans that are in the foreclosure process or are declared to be in default, were approximately $1,853,000 both at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, which the Company believes are adequately secured by the underlying collateral and the allowance for mortgage loans. Approximately $675,000 and $663,000 of the Company’s allowance for mortgage loans was allocated to impaired loans at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company will declare a loan to be in default and will place the loan on non-accrual status when the following thresholds have been met: (i) the borrower has missed three consecutive mortgage payments; (ii) the borrower has not communicated to the Company any legitimate reason for delinquency in its payments to the Company and has not arranged for the re-continuance of payments; (iii) lines of communication to the borrower have broken down such that any reasonable prospect of rehabilitating the loan and return of regular payments is gone. The Company’s policies on payments received and interest accrued on non-accrual loans are as follows: (i) The Company will accept payments on loans that are currently on non-accrual status when a borrower has communicated to us that they intend to meet their mortgage obligations. A payment made on a non-accrual loan is considered a good faith deposit as to the intent to resume their mortgage payment obligation. This good faith deposit is credited back to interest first then principal as stated in the mortgage loan documentation. (ii) A letter outlining the re-payment terms or the restructure terms (if any) of the loan is provided to the borrower. This letter will be signed by the Senior Pastor and all board members of the borrower. This letter resumes the obligation to make payments on non-accrual loans. (iii) The borrower must meet all its payment obligations for the next 120 days without interruption in order to be removed from non-accrual status. When a loan is declared in default according to the Company’s policy or deemed to be doubtful of collection, the loan committee of the Advisor to the Company will direct the staff to charge-off the uncollectable receivables. Loans totaling approximately $3,453,000 and $3,449,000 exceeded 90 days past due but continued to accrue interest at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company believes that the loans are well secured, not deemed to be in default and the Company is actively pursuing collection of past due payments. Real Estate Held for Sale As of March 31, 2017, the Company had one property acquired via deed in lieu of foreclosure, with outstanding loan balances totaling $225,872. The Church is still occupying this property and paying rent while trying to either sell the building or obtain refinancing. The Company records real estate held for sale at the estimated fair value, which is net of the expected expenses related to the sale of the real estate. The fair value of our real estate held for sale, which represents the carrying value, is $225,872 as of March 31, 2017 after an impairment of approximately $12,000. There was no additional impairment during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The Company sold one property and disposed of a second property during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The first property was sold to an unrelated third party for approximately $48,000. The second property was disposed by way of a “Quick-Claim Deed” to an unrelated third party. The disposed property had no carrying value. The Company realized an additional loss of approximately $67,000 on property that was sold as of March 31, 2017. The Company sold two properties during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The two properties were sold for approximately $380,000. The Company provided seller financing to the borrower’s. The Company realized an additional loss of approximately $52,000 on both properties as of March 31, 2016. Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of the estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset compared to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An allowance for losses is recognized when the carrying amount is deemed not recoverable and exceeds fair value as determined through various valuation techniques including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third party independent appraisals. Revenue Recognition Interest income on mortgage loans receivable and the bond portfolio is recognized as earned. Other income included with interest represents cash received for loan origination fees, which are recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to the yield on the loan. Deferred Financing Costs The Company defers the costs related to obtaining financing. These costs are amortized over the life of the financing using the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Income (Loss) Per Common Share No adjustments were made to income for the purpose of calculating earnings (loss) per share, as there were no potential dilutive shares outstanding. |

Fair Value Measurements | 2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value in our balance sheets. The fair value of these instruments is based on valuations that include inputs that can be classified within one of the three levels of a hierarchy. Level 1 inputs include quoted market prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data. Except for the bond portfolio, which is required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in our Balance Sheets, the Company elected not to record any other financial assets or liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. We recorded an aggregate allowance for losses on our Agape bonds (see Note 3), which totaled $458,000 for both periods ended March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair Value Measurement March 31, 2017 Fair Value Level 3 Bond portfolio $12,760,616 $12,760,616 Fair Value Measurement December 31, 2016 Fair Value Level 3 Bond portfolio $ 11,482,616 $ 11,482,616 We determine the fair value of the bond portfolio shown in the table above by comparing it with similar instruments in inactive markets. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the bonds, which are callable at par by the issuer at any time, and the anticipated cash flows of the bonds, and uses observable and unobservable market-based inputs. Unobservable inputs include our internal credit rating and selection of similar bonds for valuation. The change in Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis is summarized as follows: Bond Portfolio Balance at December 31, 2016 $11,482,616 Purchases 1,289,000 Proceeds (11,000 Balance at March 31, 2017 $ 12,760,616 Real estate held for sale and impaired loans are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value of real estate held for sale was based upon the listed sales price less expected selling costs, which is a Level 3 input. The resulting impairment charges were $0 and $19,173 for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis: March 31, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value at March 31, Impaired Loans $ — $ — $ 1,177,592 $ 1,177,592 Real estate held for resale — — 225,872 225,872 $ — $ — $ 1,403,464 $ 1,403,464 December 31, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value at December 31, Impaired Loans $ — $ — $ 1,189,873 $ 1,189,873 Real estate held for resale — — 340,872 340,872 $ — $ — $ 1,530,745 $ 1,530,745 The change in Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis is summarized as follows: Impaired Loans Real Estate Held for Sale Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 1,189,873 $ 340,872 Dispositions — (115,000 ) Provision for other than temporary losses (12,281 ) — Balance at March 31, 2017 $ 1,177,592 $ 225,872 |

Mortgage Loans Receivable and Bond Portfolio | 3. MORTGAGE LOANS RECEIVABLE AND BOND PORTFOLIO At March 31, 2017, the Company had mortgage loans receivable totaling $25,218,140. The loans bear interest ranging from 0% to 10.25% with a weighted average of approximately 8.20% at March 31, 2017. The Company had mortgage loans receivable totaling $24,732,280 that bore interest ranging from 0% to 10.25% with a weighted average of approximately 8.25% at December 31, 2016. The Company has a portfolio of secured church bonds at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, which are carried at fair value. The bonds pay quarterly interest ranging from 2.50% to 9.75%. The aggregate value of secured church bonds equaled approximately $13,219,000 at March 31, 2017 with a weighted average interest rate of 6.85% and approximately $11,941,000 at December 31, 2016 with a weighted average interest rate of 6.77%. These bonds are due at various maturity dates through March 2042. The contractual maturity schedule for mortgage loans receivable and the bond portfolio as of March 31, 2017, is as follows: Mortgage Loans Bond Portfolio April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018 $ 1,909,102 $ 125,000 April 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 2,789,194 134,000 2019 1,301,152 155,000 2020 1,362,089 168,000 2021 784,343 234,000 Thereafter 17,072,261 12,402,616 25,218,141 13,218,616 Less loan loss and bond loss other than temporary impairment (1,335,357) (458,000) Less deferred origination income (320,649 ______-__ Totals $ 23,562,135 $ 12,760,616 The Company currently owns $529,000 First Mortgage Bonds and $497,000 Second Mortgage Bonds issued by Agape Assembly Baptist Church located in Orlando, Florida. The total principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds issued by Agape is $7,200,000, and the total principal amount of Second Mortgage Bonds issued is $715,000. Agape defaulted on its payment obligations to bondholders in September 2010. The church subsequently commenced a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization proceeding regarding the property that secures the First Mortgage Bonds in December 2010. Agape is currently performing under a loan modification agreement. In October 2014, a minimum of 80% of the bondholders of Agape agreed to a modification in the terms of their bonds which has resulted in the resumption of both principal and interest payments to both the first and second mortgage bond holders. Both the First Mortgage Bonds and Second Mortgage Bonds have been modified to a fully amortized fixed rate, quarterly interest payment of 6.25% with a new maturity date of September 2037 for all the issued and outstanding bonds. The Company, along with all other bondholders, has a superior lien over all other creditors. The Company has an aggregate other than temporary impairment of $458,000 for the First and Second Mortgage Bonds at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, which effectively reduces the bonds to the fair value amount management believes will be recovered. The Church has subsequently defaulted on their modification agreement in 2016 and no interest payments were made to bondholders during the first quarter ended March 31, 2017. |

Secured Investor Certificates | 4. SECURED INVESTOR CERTIFICATES Secured investor certificates are collateralized by certain mortgage loans receivable or secured church bonds of approximately the same value as the certificates. The weighted average interest rate on the certificates was 6.46% and 6.47% at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Holders of the secured investor certificates may renew certificates at the current rates and terms upon maturity at the Company’s discretion. Renewals upon maturity are considered neither proceeds from nor issuance of secured investor certificates. Renewals totaled approximately $656,000 and $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The secured investor certificates have certain financial and non-financial covenants identified in the respective series’ trust indentures.

Fair Value Financial Instruments | 6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company is required to disclose the fair value information about financial instruments, where it is practicable to estimate that value. Because assumptions used in these valuation techniques are inherently subjective in nature, the estimated fair values cannot always be substantiated by comparison to independent market quotes and, in many cases, the estimated fair values could not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on relevant information available to management as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect these estimated fair value amounts. As these reporting requirements exclude certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not represent management’s estimate of the underlying value of the Company. The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, are as follows: March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value Cash and equivalents $ 1,281,362 $ 1,281,362 $ 3,382,994 $ 3,382,994 Accounts receivable 227,064 227,064 219,352 219,352 Interest receivable 178,170 178,170 175,912 175,912 Mortgage loans receivable 25,218,141 26,618,461 24,732,280 25,646,901 Bond portfolio 13,218,616 13,218,616 11,940,616 11,940,616 Secured investor certificates 27,578,000 33,927,501 27,924,000 35,415,944 The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value: Cash and equivalents Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. Accounts receivable The carrying amount of accounts receivable approximates fair value. Interest receivable The carrying amount of interest receivable approximates fair value. Mortgage loans receivable The fair value of the mortgage loans receivable is currently greater than the carrying value as the portfolio is currently yielding a higher rate than similar mortgages with similar terms for borrowers with similar credit quality. Bond portfolio We determine the fair value of the bond portfolio shown in the table above by comparing with similar instruments in inactive markets. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the bonds, which are callable at par by the issuer at any time, and the anticipated cash flows of the bonds and uses observable and unobservable market-based inputs. Unobservable inputs include our internal credit rating and selection of similar bonds for valuation. Secured investor certificates The fair value of the secured investor certificates is currently greater than the carrying value due to higher interest rates than current market rates. |

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for interim statements and, therefore, do not include all information and disclosures necessary for fair presentation of results of operations, financial position, and changes in cash flow in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, such statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the period presented. The unaudited financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2016 audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2016. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. |
Nature of Business | Nature of Business American Church Mortgage Company, a Minnesota corporation, was incorporated on May 27, 1994. The Company was organized to engage primarily in the business of making mortgage loans to churches and other nonprofit religious organizations throughout the United States, on terms established for individual organizations. |
Accounting Estimates | Accounting Estimates Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most sensitive estimates relate to the realizability of the mortgage loans receivable, the valuation of the bond portfolio and real estate held for sale. It is at least reasonably possible that these estimates could change in the near term and that the effect of the change, if any, may be material to the financial statements. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's loans have been granted to churches and other non-profit religious organizations. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent on member contributions and the involvement in the church or organization of its senior pastor. |
Cash and Equivalents | Cash and Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains accounts primarily at two financial institutions. At times throughout the year, the Company’s cash and equivalents balances may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Cash in money market funds is not federally insured. The Company had $39,467 and $14,841 in money market fund accounts at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. |
Bond Portfolio | Bond Portfolio The Company accounts for the bond portfolio under the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320. The Company classifies the bond portfolio as “available-for-sale” and measures the portfolio at fair value. While the bonds are generally held until contractual maturity, the Company classifies them as available-for-sale as the bonds may be used to repay secured investor certificates or provide additional liquidity or working capital in the short term. The Company has classified $125,000 and $111,000 in bonds as current assets as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, based on management’s estimates for liquidity requirements and contractual maturities of certain bonds maturing in 2017 and 2016, respectively. |
Allowance for Mortgage Loans Receivable | Allowance for Mortgage Loans Receivable The Company records mortgage loans receivable at estimated net realizable value, which is the unpaid principal balances of the mortgage loans receivable, less the allowance for mortgage loans. The Company’s loan loss policy provides an allowance for estimated uncollectible loans based on an evaluation of the current status of the loan portfolio. This policy provides for principal amounts outstanding on a particular loan if cumulative interruptions occur in the normal payment schedule of a loan; therefore, the Company recognizes a provision for losses and an allowance for the outstanding principal amount of a loan in the Company’s portfolio if the amount is in doubt of collection. Additionally, no additional interest income is recognized on impaired loans that are declared to be in default and are in the foreclosure process. At March 31, 2017, the Company provided $1,335,357 for seventeen mortgage loans, of which seven totaling approximately $3,453,000 are three or more mortgage payments in arrears, three loans totaling approximately $1,226,000 are declared to be in default and two loans totaling approximately $627,000 are in the foreclosure process. At December 31, 2016, the Company provided $1,311,983 for seventeen mortgage loans, of which seven totaling approximately $3,449,000 were three or more mortgage payments in arrears, three loans totaling approximately $1,226,000 were declared to be in default and two loans totaling approximately $627,000 were in the foreclosure process. A summary of transactions in the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is as follows: Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 1,311,983 Provision for additional losses 23,374 Balance at March 31, 2017 $ 1,353,357 The total impaired loans, which are loans that are in the foreclosure process or are declared to be in default, were approximately $1,853,000 at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, which the Company believes are adequately secured by the underlying collateral and the allowance for mortgage loans. Approximately $675,000 and $663,000 of the Company’s allowance for mortgage loans was allocated to impaired loans at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company will declare a loan to be in default and will place the loan on non-accrual status when the following thresholds have been met: (i) the borrower has missed three consecutive mortgage payments; (ii) the borrower has not communicated to the Company any legitimate reason for delinquency in its payments to the Company and has not arranged for the re-continuance of payments; (iii) lines of communication to the borrower have broken down such that any reasonable prospect of rehabilitating the loan and return of regular payments is gone. The Company’s policies on payments received and interest accrued on non-accrual loans are as follows: (i) The Company will accept payments on loans that are currently on non-accrual status when a borrower has communicated to us that they intend to meet their mortgage obligations. A payment made on a non-accrual loan is considered a good faith deposit as to the intent to resume their mortgage payment obligation. This good faith deposit is credited back to interest first then principal as stated in the mortgage loan documentation. (ii) A letter outlining the re-payment terms or the restructure terms (if any) of the loan is provided to the borrower. This letter will be signed by the Senior Pastor and all board members of the borrower. This letter resumes the obligation to make payments on non-accrual loans. (iii) The borrower must meet all its payment obligations for the next 120 days without interruption in order to be removed from non-accrual status. When a loan is declared in default according to the Company’s policy or deemed to be doubtful of collection, the loan committee of the Advisor to the Company will direct the staff to charge-off the uncollectable receivables. Loans totaling approximately $3,453,000 and $3,449,000 exceeded 90 days past due but continued to accrue interest at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company believes that the loans are well secured, not deemed to be in default and the Company is actively pursuing collection of past due payments. |
Real Estate Held for Sale | Real Estate Held for Sale As of March 31, 2017, the Company had one property acquired via deed in lieu of foreclosure, with outstanding loan balances totaling $225,872. The Church is still occupying this property and paying rent while trying to either sell the building or obtain refinancing. The Company records real estate held for sale at the estimated fair value, which is net of the expected expenses related to the sale of the real estate. The fair value of our real estate held for sale, which represents the carrying value, is $225,872 as of March 31, 2017 after an impairment of approximately $12,000. There was no additional impairment during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The Company sold one property and disposed of a second property during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The first property was sold to an unrelated third party for approximately $54,000. The second property was disposed by way of a “Quick-Claim Deed” to an unrelated third party. The disposed property had no carrying value. The Company realized an additional loss of approximately $67,000 on property that was sold as of March 31, 2017. |
Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets | Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of the estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset compared to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An allowance for losses is recognized when the carrying amount is deemed not recoverable and exceeds fair value as determined through various valuation techniques including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third party independent appraisals. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Interest income on mortgage loans receivable and the bond portfolio is recognized as earned. Other income included with interest represents cash received for loan origination fees, which are recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to the yield on the loan. |
Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred Financing Costs The Company defers the costs related to obtaining financing. These costs are amortized over the life of the financing using the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest method. |
Income (Loss) Per Common Share | Income (Loss) Per Common Share No adjustments were made to income for the purpose of calculating earnings (loss) per share, as there were no potential dilutive shares outstanding. |
