Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Going Concern Status
Going Concern Status. The Company is in technical default with respect to its $5,155,000 Junior Subordinated Debenture (“Debenture”). The holders of the debenture could demand payment of the $5,155,000 principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest totaling $913,000 at September 30, 2015. No adjustments to the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been made as a result of this uncertainty. Management’s plans with regard to this matter are as follows: A Director of the Company had agreed to purchase the Debenture and had agreed to provide a forbearance of the payment to the Company upon consummation of the purchase. Although the agreed upon purchase price for the Debenture had been tendered, the Trustee of the Debenture (the “Trustee”) had received conflicting direction and therefore on December 11, 2014, the Trustee commenced an Action for Interpleader in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Debenture Litigation”). On August 31, 2015, the court held that the Trustee could not sell the Debenture to the Director because certain conditions and requirements set forth in the indenture for the Trust had not been fulfilled. The Director intends to continue his efforts to acquire the Debenture. Based upon the underlying Debenture documents, Management does not believe the Trustee will call a Default at this time. The Company is continuing to pursue regulatory approval for the interest payment and other mechanisms for paying the accrued interest such as raising additional capital.
Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Comprehensive Income (Loss). Generally accepted accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net earnings (loss). Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, such items along with net earnings  (loss), are components of comprehensive income (loss). The only component of other comprehensive income (loss) is the net change in the unrealized gain (loss) on the securities available for sale.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes. The Company assessed its earnings history and trends and estimates of future earnings, and determined that the deferred tax asset could not be realized as of September 30, 2015. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against the net deferred tax asset.
Recent Pronouncements
Recent Pronouncements.
  In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. ASU 2015-03 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption of the ASU 2015-03 is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The new guidance should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Upon transition, an entity is required to comply with the applicable disclosures for a change in an accounting principle. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
