ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Pismo Coast Village, Inc., the "Registrant" or the "Company," was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on April 2, 1975. The Company's sole business is owning and operating Pismo Coast Village RV Resort, a recreational vehicle resort (hereinafter the "Resort") in Pismo Beach, California. The Resort has continued to enhance its business by upgrading facilities and services to better serve customers.
BUSINESS OF ISSUER
The company exclusively operates within the realm of owning and managing Pismo Coast Village RV Resort. Its revenue streams originate primarily from camping site rentals, recreational vehicle storage, tow services and retail sales through a general store. Pismo Coast Village RV Resort stands as a comprehensive, full-service facility featuring 400 spaces for recreational vehicles, as well as a video arcade, laundromat, restaurant and general store.
PUBLIC AND SHAREHOLDER USERS
The policy of the Company is to offer each shareholder the opportunity for 45 nights of free use of sites at the Resort; 25 nights may be used during prime time and 20 nights during non-prime time. The free use of sites by shareholders is managed by designating the nights of the year as prime time and non-prime time. A prime-time night is one that is most in demand, for example, Memorial Day Weekend and the period from June 1 until Labor Day. Non-prime time is that time with the least demand. Each shareholder is furnished annually a calendar that designates the prime and non-prime time nights; it also provides a schedule of when reservations can be made and the procedure for making reservations. Over the past 30 years, the shareholder's free use of nights has averaged approximately 23%. Shareholder use during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 was consistent with this average.
SEASONAL ASPECTS OF BUSINESS
The business of the Company is seasonal and is concentrated during prime days of the year which are defined as follows: President's Day Weekend, Easter week, Memorial Day Weekend, summer vacation months, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Weekend and Christmas vacation.
WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
By accumulating reserves during the prime seasons, the Company is generally able to meet its working capital needs during the off-season. Industry practice is to accumulate funds during the prime season, and use such funds, as necessary, in the off-season. The Company has arranged, but not used, a $500,000 line of credit to ensure funds are available, if necessary, in the off-season.
COMPETITION
The Company faces competition from nine other RV parks within a five-mile radius, but its distinct advantage lies in being the sole property adjacent to the beach. Recognized as a recreational vehicle resort, it stands out for its upgraded facilities and amenities, including a restaurant, general store, satellite TV, high-speed wireless internet, a heated pool, miniature golf course, and a comprehensive recreational program. Industry travel guides consistently rate Pismo Coast Village RV Resort highly for its appearance, facilities, and recreational offerings, earning it the prestigious designation of "Best of Pismo Beach - RV Resort" in September 2023.
In the competitive tourist market of the Central Coast of California, the Resort actively collaborates with the City of Pismo Beach, Chamber of Commerce, Conference and Visitors Bureau, participating as major sponsors in joint events and advertising initiatives. Ongoing marketing efforts include placements in trade publications, industry directories, and collaboration with RV-related companies. Leveraging the effectiveness of its website and social media, the Resort successfully engages with its target audience.
The marketing strategy extends to groups and clubs, offering incentives such as group discounts, meeting facilities, and catering services. The Company has allocated approximately $66,000 to its marketing plan for the fiscal year 2024-2025, demonstrating our commitment to sustaining high occupancy rates. Emphasizing customer service and high-quality recreational facilities, the Resort has cultivated a robust source of repeat business, underlining its success in building lasting relationships with patrons.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
The Company is affected by federal, state, and local antipollution laws and regulations. Due to the nature of its business operations (camping, RV storage and small retail store sales), the discharge of materials into the environment is not considered to be of a significant concern, and the EPA has not designated the Company as a potentially responsible party for cleanup of hazardous waste.
The main property of the Resort is located within the boundaries of those lands under the review and purview of the Coastal Commission of the State of California and the City of Pismo Beach. The water and sewer systems are serviced by the City of Pismo Beach. The Company was subject to state and federal regulations regarding the fiscal year 1996 reconstruction of an outflow structure that empties into Pismo Creek at the north boundary of the Resort. Because the Resort is within the wetlands area, the California Coastal Commission required permits for repair and construction to be reviewed by the following agencies: City of Pismo Beach, State Lands Commission, Regional Water Quality Board, State of California, California Department of Fish and Game, State Department of Parks and Recreation and the Army Corps of Engineers.
EMPLOYEES
As of September 30, 2024, the Company employed 63 people, with 14 of these on a part-time basis and 49 on a full-time basis. Due to the seasonal nature of the business, additional staff are needed during peak periods and fewer during the off-season. Staffing levels during the fiscal year ranged from 56 to 63 employees. Management considers its labor relations to be good.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Company has remained conservative when considering rates and rate increases. As a result of experiencing increasing operational expenses and conducting a local comparative rate study, during September 2024 the Board of Directors (Board) voted to increase our storage base rate $5 per month and trailer towing fees $5 per tow transfer effective January 1, 2025, and also to increase all nightly site rates $5 per night effective October 1, 2024. It is anticipated that these rate increases should not negatively impact the Company's ability to capture an optimum market share since they are still highly competitive with the rates from other nearby RV resorts.
REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS
Pismo Coast Village, Inc. files quarterly reports, an annual report, and periodic reports, providing the public with current information about the Company and its operations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company makes available on its website, www.pismocoastvillage.com, access to its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The public may read and copy any materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on official business days during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at the SEC's Public Reference Room located at 100 F Street, N. E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC on 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy statements, and other information that the Company files electronically with the SEC.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
A number of factors, many of which are common to the lodging industry and beyond our control, could affect our business, including the following:
increased gas prices;
increased competition from new resorts in our market;
increases in operating costs due to inflation, labor costs, workers' compensation and healthcare related costs, utility costs, insurance, and unanticipated costs such as acts of nature and their consequences and other factors that may not be offset by increased rates;
changes in interest rates, cost, and terms of debt financing;
changes in governmental laws and regulations, fiscal policies and zoning ordinances and the related costs of compliance with laws and regulations, fiscal policies, and ordinances;
adverse effects of market conditions, which may diminish the desire for leisure travel; and
adverse effects of a downturn in the leisure industry.
The leisure and travel business is seasonal and seasonal variations in revenue at our Resort can be expected to cause quarterly fluctuations in our revenue. Our revenue is generally highest in the third and fourth quarters. Quarterly revenue also may be harmed by events beyond our control, such as extreme weather conditions, terrorist attacks or alerts, contagious diseases, economic factors, and other considerations affecting travel. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, we rely upon our cash reserves and may have to rely on our short-term line of credit for operations. Recent events beyond our control, such as the economic slowdown and extreme weather conditions in 2023, harmed the operating performance of the Central Coast leisure industry generally. If these or similar events occur again, our operating and financial results may be harmed by declines in average daily rates or occupancy.
Our Resort has a need for ongoing renovations and potentially significant capital expenditures in connection with improvements, and the costs of such renovations or improvements may exceed our expectations.
Occupancy and the rates we are able to charge are often affected by the maintenance and capital improvements at a resort, especially in the event that the maintenance of improvements is not completed on schedule, or if the improvements result in the closure of the general store or a significant number of sites. The costs of necessary capital expenditures could harm our financial condition and reduce amounts available for operations. Capital improvements may also give rise to additional risks including:
construction cost overruns and delays;
a possible shortage of available cash to fund capital improvements and the related possibility that financing of these expenditures may not be available to us on favorable terms;
uncertainties as to market demand or a loss of market demand after capital improvements have begun;
disruption in service and site availability causing reduced demand, occupancy, and rates; and
possible environmental issues.
We rely on our executive officers and management team, the loss of whom could significantly harm our business.
Our continued success depends, to a significant extent, on the efforts and abilities of our General Manager, Charles Amian. Mr. Amian is important to our business and strategy and to the extent that were he to depart and not replaced with an experienced substitute, Mr. Amian's departure could harm our operations, financial condition, and operating results.
Uninsured and underinsured losses could harm our financial condition, and the results of operations.
In the event of a catastrophic loss, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover the full current market value or replacement cost of our lost properties. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in the Resort, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the Resort. In that event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any notes payable or other financial obligations related to the property. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors might also keep us from using insurance proceeds to replace or renovate the Resort after it has been damaged or destroyed. Under these circumstances, the insurance proceeds we receive might be inadequate to restore our economic position on the damaged or destroyed property.

OVERVIEW
Pismo Coast Village, Inc. operates as a 400-space recreational vehicle resort located along the coast of Central California. The resort offers a full range of services, such as a general store, video arcade, laundromat, and an RV storage operation.
The Company is authorized to issue 1,800 shares of one class, all with equal voting rights and all being without par value. Transfers of shares are restricted by Company bylaws. One such restriction is that transferees must acquire shares with intent to hold the same for the purpose of enjoying camping rights and other benefits to which a shareholder is entitled. Each share of stock is intended to provide the shareholder with the opportunity for 45 nights of free site use per year. However, if the Company is unable to generate sufficient funds from the public, the Company may be required to charge shareholders for services.
Management is charged with the task of developing sufficient funds to operate the Resort through site sales to general public guests by allocating a minimum of 175 sites for general public use and allocating a maximum of 225 sites for shareholder free use. The other service centers are expected to generate sufficient revenue to support themselves and/or produce a profit.
The Company continues to promote and depend upon recreational vehicle camping as the primary source of revenue. The rental of campsites to the general public provides income to cover expenses, complete capital improvements, and allow shareholders up to 45 free nights camping annually. Additional revenues come from RV storage and spotting, an on-site convenience store, property leases and other ancillary activities such as a restaurant, laundromat, arcade, and recreational activities.
The Central Coast remains a highly sought-after destination for RV enthusiasts actively seeking quality accommodations. RVing continues to provide an affordable and immersive outdoor experience, and the Company is proud to deliver top-tier facilities and services in this popular location.
According to the 2024 KOA Camping & Outdoor Hospitality Report, the outlook for the industry remains strong, with eight out of ten campers indicating plans to either maintain or increase their camping trips in 2024.
Private campgrounds are ranked as the top choice for outdoor hospitality providers. Key elements of the outdoor hospitality experience include spending the majority of time outdoors (50%), access to classic camping amenities such as fire pits and outdoor seating (48%), and accommodations that reflect traditional camping environments, whether in RVs or tents (43%).
Despite the robust demand for advance bookings, economic challenges are influencing travelers' decisions. A recent quarterly survey highlights that many campers report a decline in their personal financial situation since early 2024, with inflation and economic concerns reducing overall disposable income. These factors are shaping travelers' spending patterns and choices for accommodations.
RV storage remains in demand and a primary revenue source for the Company. As of November 2024, the waitlist for new storage clients exceeds 560. To meet this demand, the Company is progressing with plans to develop an estimated 150-unit storage facility on a new 4.42 acre property in Nipomo. RV storage offers customers several advantages, including eliminating the stress of towing, reducing the need to own a tow vehicle, enabling shared use among family members, and providing added convenience.
Continued investment in resort enhancements remains a top priority to ensure a premier experience for both guests and shareholders. The resort is recognized as a leader in the industry, with accolades from reputable organizations such as Good Sam for its exceptional facilities and high standards. The Company's dedication to quality, value, and customer satisfaction is reflected in its success, driven by repeat business, positive word of mouth, and guest referrals.
The Company's marketing strategy focuses on digital platforms, social media content, advertising in national directories, and placements in leading trade magazines. These initiatives are designed to strengthen the Company's visibility and ensure sustained growth in the highly competitive outdoor hospitality market.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's policy is to use its ability to generate operating cash flow to meet its expected future needs for internal growth. The Company has continued to maintain sufficient cash so as to not require the use of a short-term line of credit during the off-season period, and the Company expects to be able to do so (although no assurance of continued cash flow can be given).
Net cash provided by operating activities exceeded $2.2 million in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The $1.0 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities can largely be attributed to increased customer deposits and the timing of vendor payments.
Working capital increased to $9.4 million at the end of fiscal year 2024, compared to $8.5 million at the end of fiscal year 2023. This increase is primarily a result of additional cash from ongoing operations that has been reserved for capital improvements and deferred maintenance.
The Company plans approximately $1.4 million of capital expenditures in fiscal year 2025 to further enhance the Resort facilities and services. The most significant capital project is development of the 4.42 acre property in Nipomo for RV Storage. In addition, the Company plans to re-gravel some campsites, slurry and stripe the resort roads, and renovate the mini golf course as part of its ongoing facility maintenance programs. Funding for these projects is expected to come from normal operating cash flows and cash reserves. These capital expenditures are expected to increase the Resort's value to its shareholders and the general public.
With the possibility of requiring additional funds for planned capital improvements and the winter season, the Company maintains a $500,000 Line of Credit to ensure funds will be available if required. In anticipation of future large projects, the Board of Directors has instructed management to build operational cash balances. The Company has no other liabilities to creditors other than current accounts payable arising from its normal day-to-day operations and advance Resort rental reservation deposits, none of which are in arrears.
The Board of Directors continues its previously established policy of adopting a stringent conservative budget for fiscal year 2025, which projects a positive cash flow of approximately $1.0 million from operations. This projection is based on paid site occupancy reflecting similar occupancy as experienced in fiscal year 2024. The 2024 budget plan includes a $5 per night increase for all site rentals effective October 1, 2024, $5 per month increase in our base storage rate and $5 per tow increase in towing fees effective January 1, 2025. While the Company projects a positive cash flow, this cannot be assured for fiscal year 2025.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's revenue streams originate primarily from three sources: (a) RV camping site rentals, (b) RV storage & towing fees, and (c) retail sales through a general store. In addition, the Company generates revenue from leases of real property, such as our RV retail storefront, RV repair facility and cell towers on our real property and from other ancillary services, such as our restaurant, arcade and laundromat.
The business of the Company is seasonal and is concentrated on prime days of the year which are defined as follows: President's Day weekend, Easter week, Memorial Day weekend, summer vacation months, Labor Day weekend, Thanksgiving week, and Christmas/New Year's week. Occupancy is impacted by weather patterns, as demand decreases during the rainy season and also in years with more rain.

RV camping site rental revenues increased $171,000 during the year ended September 30, 2024 compared to 2023, a 3% increase, primarily due to a $5 per night rate increase that was effective October 1, 2023. This increase was partially offset by the impact of 4% lower occupancy during 2024 than 2023. Occupancy was lower in 2024 than 2023 due to weather and the timing of prime holidays, such as Easter week. The mix of public guest versus shareholder occupancy was consistent each year.

RV storage & towing fees decreased $55,000 or 3% during the year ended September 30, 2024 compared to 2023 as the demand for towing fluctuates depending upon occupancy.
Retail store revenues increased $34,000 or 5% year over year. The company strives to maintain consistent pricing, which leads to moderate margins across staples such as groceries, ice, wood, and RV parts. Demand for logo-based merchandise drove up revenue as guests purchased newly offered premium apparel items.
RV parts revenue was zero in 2024, compared to $255,000 in 2023, because the company discontinued delivering RV repair services during April 2023. As of that date, the company transitioned its RV service business to Trailer Hitch RV, who have leased the Company's service facilities.
Property lease income, which is primarily associated with rental of the RV repair facilities, increased $89,000 year over year due to the lease of the RV service facilities to Trailer Hitch during April 2023.
Cost of goods sold decreased $32,000 year over year primarily because the decrease in costs associated with discontinuing the RV parts business were partially offset by the costs of increased retail store sales and inventory reserves taken during 2024 as management implemented a new automated point of sale and inventory system.
Operating expenses for year ended September 30, 2024 decreased $37,000 compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily due a $257,000 reduction in operating expenses related to the discontinued RV repair service business, which were offset by a $63,000 increase in utilities costs and a $150,000 increase in general and administrative costs associated primarily with increased corporate insurance and advisory service costs, as well as an increase in employee wage and related costs company-wide.
Depreciation and amortization expense was flat year over year as increased depreciation expense from new property and equipment was offset by decreases in depreciation expense on assets that reached the end of their lives or were disposed.
Other income and expense, net increased $232,000 year over year, primarily because of additional interest on increased cash reserves, as well as increased interest rates in 2024 compared to 2023.
Although the supply-demand balance generally remains favorable, future-operating results could be impacted by changes in inflation and the economy that lead to increases or decreases in demand. Depending on the nature of business and economic cycles and trends, rates may be adjusted accordingly, if deemed necessary. Changes in demand could limit the Company's ability to pass through inflationary increases in operating costs as higher rates.
Additionally, increases in transportation and fuel costs or sustained recessionary periods could unfavorably impact future results. However, the Company believes that its financial strength and market presence will enable it to remain extremely competitive. The company intends to continue to market site usage at its highest value and believes that currently this will not negatively impact the Company's ability to capture an optimum market share.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. In some cases, management could reasonably have used different accounting policies and estimates. In some cases, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's financial condition or results of operations will be affected. Management bases estimates upon past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. We refer to accounting estimates of this type as critical accounting policies and estimates, which we discuss further below. We have reviewed our critical accounting policies and estimates with the audit committee of our board of directors.
Please see Note 2 of Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the summary of significant accounting policies.
Inventory Allowance
We value our inventory based on our cost. We adjust the value of our inventory to the extent our management determines that our cost cannot be recovered due to obsolescence or other factors. Management considers estimates of future demand and sales prices for each product to determine appropriate inventory reserves and to make corresponding reductions in inventory values to reflect expected net realizable value. In the event of a sudden significant decrease in demand for our products, we could be required to increase our inventory reserve, which would increase our cost of product sales and decrease our gross profit.
Income Taxes
Judgment is required in addressing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns (e.g., realization of deferred tax assets, changes in tax laws, or interpretations thereof). In addition, we are subject to examination of our income tax returns by the IRS and other tax authorities. A change in the assessment of the outcomes of such matters could materially impact our financial statements. We evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return to determine whether they are more likely than not of being sustained, assuming that the tax reporting positions will be examined by taxing authorities with full knowledge of all relevant information, prior to recording the related tax benefit in our financial statements. If a position does not meet the more likely than not standard, the benefit cannot be recognized. Assumptions, judgment, and the use of estimates are required in determining if the "more likely than not" standard has been met when developing the provision for income taxes. A change in the assessment of the "more likely than not" standard with respect to a position could materially impact our financial statements.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management uses judgment to determine whether indications of impairment exist and considers the fact that the company has a long history of profit from the resort operation, which comprises the majority of our land assets, as well as steady profit from our RV storage business and property leases, which use the remainder of our land and building assets. Management also considers factors such as the camping industry, location of the property, market conditions, and property-specific information available at the time of the assessment. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows independent of other assets. An impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows generated from the assets are less than their carrying amount. Measurement of an impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its estimated fair value. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting the judgments used could result in impairments to our long-lived assets in future periods. Historically, changes in estimates used in the property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets impairment assessment process have not resulted in impairment charges. There were no indicators of impairment on property and equipment, and accordingly no impairment losses recorded, for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
Pismo Coast Village, Inc. is responsible for the information and representations contained in this report. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which we considered appropriate in the circumstances and include some amounts based on our best estimates and judgments. Other financial information in this report is consistent with these financial statements.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Pismo Coast Village, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Pismo Coast Village, Inc. as of September 30, 2024, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pismo Coast Village, Inc. as of September 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the entity’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to Pismo Coast Village, Inc. in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Pismo Coast Village, Inc. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue Recognition - Refer to note 2 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company derives revenue from three revenue streams which include (i) resort operations which include RV camping site rentals, storage and towing, and other ancillary services, (ii) retail operations, and (iii), property leasing.
The Company recognizes revenue for the first revenue stream at a point in time as site rentals occur and services are provided. The Company recognizes revenue for the second revenue stream at a point in time when control of goods is transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue for the third revenue stream over time based on the signed contract terms.
In determining revenue recognition for these customer agreements, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with customer (ii) identify the performance obligation in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
We identified revenue recognition as a critical audit matter due to the significant impact revenue has on the operations of the Company. The nature of how revenue is recorded is not overly complex, however since the resort collects deposits up to six months in advance, there are monthly entries management must record to appropriately record deferred revenue (customer deposits) and then the subsequent recognition of revenue over the appropriate period of time. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and effort in performing procedures to evaluate the accuracy of both revenue and customer deposits.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our principal audit procedures related to the Company’s revenue recognition for these revenue streams included the following:
Resort Operations
We performed a walkthrough to test the design effectiveness and implementation of internal controls with respect to the revenue and cash receipts cycle.
We selected a sample of resort reservations, monthly and annual storage agreements, towing invoices, and other ancillary service agreements and performed the following procedures:
Obtained and inspected a sample of reservation agreements or invoices for each selection;
Obtained an understanding of the performance obligation associated with the reservations or invoices;
Tested the revenue amounts for each reservation or invoice, which was represented by daily, or service rate by tracing reservation details including revenues from the sales journals to reservation information within the reservation booking systems;
Determined that the allocation of the service was allocated to a single performance obligation;
Tested the appropriateness of the revenue recognized within the terms of the reservation by tracing daily revenues for the applicable rates by service dated to revenues recorded in the ledger for the period; and
Tested cash receipts by performing analytical procedures related to proof of cash over revenues.
We tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s schedule of customer deposits (deferred revenue) and resort revenue to determine that the timing of revenue recognized in the financial statements was appropriate.
Retail Operations
We performed a walkthrough to test the design effectiveness and implementation of internal controls with respect to the Company’s revenue and cash receipts cycle.
We selected a sample of retail sales transactions and performed the following procedures:
Obtained daily sales reports listing revenue by retail area (grocery, apparel, etc.).
Tested the daily retail area level amounts by reconciling the amounts recorded from the total daily sales reports to the general ledger for each period related to the sample selected.
Determined that the allocation of the transaction was to a single performance obligation.
Tested cash receipts by performing analytical procedures related to proof of cash over revenues.
We tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s schedule of retail revenue.
Property Leasing
We performed a walkthrough to test the design effectiveness and implementation of internal controls with respect to the Company’s revenue and cash receipts cycle.
We selected a sample of customer lease agreements and performed the following procedures:
Obtained and inspected a copy of the contract for each selection as well as any amendments;
We obtained an understanding of the performance obligations associated with the Company’s revenue contract;
Tested the transaction amounts recorded by agreeing the details within the lease contract to an exhibit of recorded lease revenue, recalculating the monthly lease revenue and reconciling the revenue to the general ledger;
Determined that the allocation of the transaction price was to a single performance obligation; and
Tested the appropriateness of recognized revenue within the terms of the contract by determining whether revenue was recognized ratably over the term of the lease.
Tested cash receipts by performing analytical procedures related to proof of cash over revenues.
We tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s schedule of property lease revenue and the associated timing of revenue recognized in the financial statements.

Pismo Coast Village, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Pismo Coast Village, Inc. (the Company) as of September 30, 2023, and 2022; the related statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2023; and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2023, and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) are especially challenging, subjective, or involve complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Income Taxes
Management’s estimates of the deferred tax assets, liabilities, and provisions disclosed in Note 7 are based primarily on the differences between depreciation measurements on a tax basis versus accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) basis, and timing of vacation expense recognition and shareholder site usage. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates of income tax provisions in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
We identified the evaluation of the Company’s income tax provisions as a critical audit matter because the application of tax law and timing of recognition of income tax expense and benefits is complex and involves subjective judgment.
We served as the Company’s auditor from 2005 to 2023.

Pismo Coast Village, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2024 and 2023
Note 1: Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Pismo Coast Village, Inc. (the "Company") owns and manages a recreational vehicle ("RV") camping resort. Its revenue streams originate primarily from camping site rentals, recreational vehicle storage, tow services, and retail sales through a general store. Its business is seasonal in nature with the fourth quarter, the summer, being its busiest quarter.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). The Company qualifies as a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and, as such, may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements and deferred accounting standards adoption dates, and is relieved of other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to other public companies.
The Company operates in one operating segment, as an RV resort. We determine our operating segment considering our overall management structure, how forecasts are approved, how executive compensation is determined, as well as how our board of directors, who represent our chief operating decision maker, regularly review our operating results, assess performance, allocate resources, and make decisions regarding the Company's operations.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Namely, revenue from property leases are presented as a separate revenue line on the statement of comprehensive income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. We base our estimates on both positive and negative evidence, historical experience and information available to us at the time these estimates are made. Examples of such estimates include estimates of the useful life of long-lived assets, assessments of long-lived asset impairments and allowances for credit losses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, which requires the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company's revenue primarily consists of RV camping site rentals, RV storage fees, RV towing services, retail sales through the general store, and rent payments under property leases.
Pismo Coast Village, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2024 and 2023
Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied in each of its revenue streams, as follows:
RV camping site rentals are recognized daily at the rate paid by the guest for each day that a guest occupies the RV camp site,
RV storage fees are recognized ratably over the time-period that the RV is stored, based upon the monthly rate paid for the storage,
RV towing services are considered distinct from RV storage and are recognized at the rate paid for each tow when trailers are towed,
Retail store and RV part sales are recognized at the price paid when goods are delivered to the guest, and
Other ancillary services, such as fees for recreation activities, are purchased independently at standalone selling prices and are considered separate performance obligations, which are recognized as revenue when the related good or service is provided to the resort guest.
The revenue recognition rules under ASC 606 specifically exclude rental revenue. Rent payments under property leases are recognized in accordance with Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842".) See further discussion of leases later in this footnote.

Customer Deposits
Guests reserving camping sites must pay in advance. In addition, RV storage fees are billed annually or monthly in advance, and tow services are pre-paid when the towing reservation is made.
The Company records a deferred revenue contract liability equal to the amounts that guests pay in advance for site reservations, storage fees and tow services ("Customer deposits"), and then recognizes the revenue when the guest stays at the resort, in the periods when the RV is stored, or in the period when the tow services are completed, respectively. Customer deposits are generally recognized as revenue within twelve months of receipt. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an expected length of one year or less.
Cash payments received in advance of guests staying at the resort are refunded to guests if the guest cancels within the specified time-period, before any services are rendered. Due to the nature of the business, the Company's revenue is not significantly impacted by refunds.
Pismo Coast Village, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2024 and 2023
Tourism Taxes
Sales taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, and that are collected by the Company from a customer to be remitted to the governmental authority, are excluded from revenue.
As of both September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $80,000 in Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) and Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) assessments due to the City of Pismo Beach and the County of San Luis Obispo, which have been excluded from revenue and are included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company accounts for credit losses under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires the Company to recognize an estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance on financial instruments. The Company is exposed to credit losses on storage fees that are billed to customers and maintains allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If a previously billed storage fee is deemed to be uncollectible, it is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses.
The Company's expected loss allowance methodology is developed considering historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of customers' receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on an aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Estimates may change based on changing circumstances, including changes in the economy or in the circumstances of individual customers. Specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default.
The Allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2024 totaled $20,000. The provision for expected credit losses for the year ended September 30, 2024 totaled $5,000 and was recorded as an operating expense. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective October 1, 2023 and recorded an initial $15,000 allowance for credit losses as a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings on October 1, 2023. Refer to "Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements" later in this footnote for further information.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $10,786,000 and $9,293,000 of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.
Cash Reserved for Capital Improvements and Deferred Maintenance
The Company keeps separate funds reserved for capital improvements and deferred maintenance. Historically, the Company has not carried a high amount of debt. This separate reserve is kept in order to self-finance major capital improvements and to have cash available if needed.
Pismo Coast Village, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2024 and 2023
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash at several commercial banks in the United States and has significantly more cash and cash equivalents than would be covered by FDIC insurance with one bank. To ensure that cash remains protected by FDIC insurance, the Company has placed its Cash Reserved for Capital Improvements and Deferred Maintenance in a Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service ("CDARS") account. By using a CDARS account, the Company's large deposits are divided into smaller amounts and placed with multiple FDIC insured banks that are members of the CDARS network. Each member bank issues CDs in amounts under $250,000, so that the entire deposit balance is eligible for FDIC insurance.
The Company keeps day-to-day operating cash with a single bank in a non-CDARS account. Due to large fluctuations in operating cash, there may be times when the amount of operating cash is above the $250,000 FDIC threshold. At September 30, 2024 the operating account balance was fully insured because it was less than the FDIC threshold. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $375,000 of operating cash that was in excess of the $250,000 federally insured limit.
Investments
Investments in securities have been classified in the balance sheet according to management's intent, as securities available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities consist of investment securities not classified as trading securities nor as held-to-maturity securities.
Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of deferred taxes, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific identification method.
Fair Value Measurements
Our financial assets and liabilities consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and rental deposits, and are reported at fair value. Fair value is determined using a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to determine fair value.
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The estimated fair value of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and rental deposits approximates their carrying value. The estimated fair value of our investments is based upon quoted market prices using Level 1 input.
The fair value of US treasury instruments as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $1,098,000 and $1,042,000, respectively. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 there was no material change in the items we measure and record at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended September 30, 2024.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2024 and 2023
Inventories
Inventories are comprised of products in the general store. Inventories have been valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses primarily relate to commercial insurance, which is paid annually in advance and is recorded as an expense during the time periods covered by the insurance.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation rates are based upon the following estimated useful lives:
Building and resort improvements
5 to 40 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
5 to 15 years
Transportation equipment
5 years
Assets under finance lease are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life of the assets.
Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Costs of significant improvement projects, which extend the useful lives of existing property or equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. The cost of assets sold or retired, along with the related accumulated depreciation, are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included other income and expense.
The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable based upon estimated future cash flows. The process of evaluating impairment requires estimates as to future events and conditions, which are subject to varying market and economic factors. Therefore, it is reasonably possible that a change in estimate resulting from judgments as to future events could occur which would affect the recorded amounts of the property. No impairment losses were recorded for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expenses. Advertising expenses were $61,000 and $71,000 for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset-liability method of computing deferred income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 ("ASC 740"), which requires, among other things, that the company recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the current enacted tax rates. In addition, ASC 740 requires that if income is expected for the entire year, but there is a net loss to date, a tax benefit is recognized based on the annual effective tax rate. Changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities are included as a component of income tax expense.
Pismo Coast Village, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2024 and 2023
ASC 740 also requires the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" (likelihood greater than 50%) approach. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, management considered its tax positions and concluded that the Company did not maintain any uncertain tax positions under this approach and, accordingly, all tax positions have been fully recorded in the provision for income taxes.
Tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years ending on or after September 30, 2019, and by the California Franchise Tax Board for fiscal years ending on or after September 30, 2018.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income consists of unearned gain on investments. Other comprehensive income is recorded as a component of stockholders equity and is excluded from net income.
Earnings per share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted net income per share is similar to the computation of basic net income per share except that the weighted-average number of common shares is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential dilutive common shares had been issued. The basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 because the Company had no additional potentially dilutive common shares.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases under ASU 842, which requires the Company to evaluate contracts to determine if they contain a lease, and then classify leases as operating, sales-type or direct finance leases for financial reporting purposes, beginning at the lease commencement date.
The Company has elected to account for short-term leases, those with a lease term of 12 months or less, by recognizing lease payments in profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for the payments is incurred.
Lessee
The Company is a lessee in a variety of lease contracts, such as land, transportation vehicles and other equipment. For leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, the Company records a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a corresponding lease obligation. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease obligations represent the Company's obligation to make fixed lease payments as stipulated by the lease. The present value of lease payments over the term of the leases is included in property and equipment as an ROU asset. Corresponding current and long-term finance lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid.
The Company classifies its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset. For operating leases, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. For finance leases, the Company recognizes lease expense using the effective interest method, which results in the interest component of each lease payment being recognized as interest expense and the lease ROU asset being amortized to amortization expense using the straight-line method over the term of the lease. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Pismo Coast Village, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2024 and 2023
Maintenance, insurance, and property tax expenses on leased assets are accounted for on an accrual basis as variable lease costs. Variable lease costs are recognized in the period when changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur. For more information on the Company's lease arrangements, refer to Note 5 - Finance Leases.
Lessor
The Company has various property leases under which it is the lessor. Upon lease commencement, the Company evaluates these leases to determine if they meet criteria set forth in lease accounting guidance for classification as sales-type leases or direct financing leases, and if a lease meets none of these criteria, the Company classifies the lease as an operating lease.
The Company's property leases are accounted for as operating leases, whereby the underlying asset remains on our balance sheet and is depreciated consistently with other owned assets, with income recognized as it is earned over the term of the lease agreement.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2016-13 Credit Losses
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology and requires companies to estimate expected credit losses based upon forward-looking information. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 during its fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 on a modified retrospective basis, and recorded a $15,000 cumulative-effect decrease to retained earnings as of October 1, 2023. The Company's financial statements for periods prior to September 30, 2024 have not been revised to reflect this new accounting guidance.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
On August 9, 2024, Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation declined to stand for re-appointment as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company effective September 30, 2024. The decision was not the result of any disagreement between the Company and Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
The reports of Brown Armstrong on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and in the subsequent interim period through August 9, 2024, there were no disagreements with Brown Armstrong on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Brown Armstrong, would have caused Brown Armstrong to make reference to the matter in their report. There were no reportable events (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during the two fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, or in the subsequent period through August 9, 2024.
Following Brown Armstrong's resignation, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the appointment of Marcum LLP as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024. However, on November 1, 2024, CBIZ Inc. acquired Marcum LLP. CompuData Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CBIZ, Inc., performed Managed IT services for the Company throughout the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. Because CBIZ Inc. now owns both Marcum LLP and CompuData Inc., Marcum LLP ceased to be independent of the Company when the acquisition closed on November 1, 2024.
Accordingly, on November 15, 2024, Marcum LLP resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company, effective immediately. The decision was not the result of any disagreement between the Company and Marcum LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. Marcum LLP did not issue reports on any years of the Company's financial statements.
Following Marcum's resignation, on November 15, 2024, the Committee approved the appointment of WithumSmith+Brown, PC as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
During the two most recent fiscal years and in the subsequent interim period through November 15, 2024, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, has consulted with WithumSmith+Brown, PC with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that would have been rendered on the Company's financial statements, or any other matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") as defined in Rules 13a-I5(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the 1934 Act. Our ICFR is intended to be designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our ICFR is expected to include policies and procedures that management believes are necessary that:
1. pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company.
2. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
3. provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect of financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
As of September 30, 2024, management with the participation of our CEO, General Manager and CFO, assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) based on the criteria for effective ICFR established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments by smaller reporting companies and non-accelerated filers. Based on that assessment, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective during periods covered by this report (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).
MATERIAL WEAKNESS
In connection with our management’s assessment of controls over financial reporting during the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, we identified a material weakness. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weakness that we identified is that we did not have sufficient qualified internal resources related to internal controls over financial reporting. To address this material weakness, during the first quarter of 2024 we evaluated our ongoing staffing requirements, appointed a new CFO and implemented additional review controls to ensure timely and accurate reconciliations, as well as proper financial reporting. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, management further supplemented the company’s internal accounting resources with an experienced temporary controller consultant who was responsible for reviewing our internal control processes and performing second level reviews of financial reporting under the oversight of the recently appointed Chief Financial Officer. As of September 30, 2024, we conclude that we have not sufficiently remediated this control deficiency because the additional controls have not been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.
ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the management's report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Except for the remediation efforts described above, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
