Notes To Financial Statements [Abstract] |
CREDIT RISK | NOTE 3 . CREDIT RISK The Company is potentially exposed to credit risk for cash deposited with FDIC-insured financial institutions in accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. IRET has entered into a cash management arrangement with First Western Bank, the "Bank" with respect to deposit accounts that exceed FDIC Insurance coverage. On a daily basis, account balances are swept into a repurchase account. The Bank pledges fractional interests in US Government Securities owned by the Bank at an amount equal to the excess over the uncollected balance in the repurchase account. The amounts deposited by IRET pursuant to the repurchase agreement are not insured by FDIC. At April 30, 2011 and 2010, these amounts totaled $23.5 million and $25.2 million, respectively.
