As of March 31, 2026, and September 30, 2025, there were six securities in an unrealized loss position which is due to the market paying a higher interest rate than the coupon rate on these securities. As of March 31, 2026, and September 30, 2025, there are no securities which are other than temporarily impaired as the Company intends to hold these securities until their value recovers and there is limited credit risk due to the nature of the securities which are backed by the FDIC and U.S. federal government. The Company had no allowance for credit losses on investments for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
