CARVER BANCORP, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

Nature of operations

Carver Bancorp, Inc. (on a stand-alone basis, the “Company” or “Registrant”), was incorporated in May 1996 and its principal wholly-owned subsidiaries are Carver Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank” or “Carver Federal”) and Alhambra Holding Corp, an inactive Delaware corporation. Carver Federal's wholly-owned subsidiaries are CFSB Realty Corp., Carver Community Development Corp. (“CCDC”) and CFSB Credit Corp., which is currently inactive. The Bank has a majority owned interest in Carver Asset Corporation, a real estate investment trust formed in February 2004.

“Carver,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to the Company along with its consolidated subsidiaries. The Bank was chartered in 1948 and began operations in 1949 as Carver Federal Savings and Loan Association, a federally-chartered mutual savings and loan association. The Bank converted to a federal savings bank in 1986. On October 24, 1994, the Bank converted from a mutual holding company structure to stock form and issued 2,314,275 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share. On October 17, 1996, the Bank completed its reorganization into a holding company structure (the “Reorganization”) and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

In September 2003, the Company formed Carver Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds in an equivalent amount of floating rate junior subordinated debentures of the Company. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidations,” Carver Statutory Trust I is unconsolidated for financial reporting purposes.

Carver Federal’s principal business consists of attracting deposit accounts through its branches and investing those funds in mortgage loans and other investments permitted by federal savings banks. The Bank has nine branches located throughout the City of New York that primarily serve the communities in which they operate.

On February 10, 2011, Carver Federal Savings Bank and Carver Bancorp, Inc. consented to enter into Cease and Desist Orders (“Orders”) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). The OTS issued these Orders based upon its findings that the Company was operating with an inadequate level of capital for the volume, type and quality of assets held by the Company, that it was operating with an excessive level of adversely classified assets; and earnings inadequate to augment its capital. Effective July 21, 2011, supervisory authority for the Orders passed to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). No assurances can be given that the Bank and the Company will continue to comply with all provisions of the Orders. Failure to comply with these provisions could result in further regulatory actions to be taken by the regulators.

On June 29, 2011 the Company raised $55 million of capital by issuing 55,000 shares of mandatorily convertible non-voting participating preferred stock, Series C (the “Series C preferred stock”). The issuance resulted in a $51.4 million increase in equity after considering the effect of various expenses associated with the capital raise. The capital raise enabled the Company on June 30, 2011 to make a capital injection of $37 million in the Bank. In December 2011, another $7 million capital injection was made in the Bank. The remainder of the net capital raised is retained by the Company for future strategic purposes or to down-stream into the Bank, if necessary. No assurances can be given that the amount of capital raised is sufficient to absorb the expected losses in the Bank's loan portfolio. Should the losses be greater than expected, additional capital may be necessary in the future.

On October 25, 2011 Carver's stockholders voted to approve a 1-for-15 reverse stock split. A separate vote of approval was given to convert the Series C preferred stock to non-cumulative non-voting participating preferred stock, Series D (“the Series D preferred stock”) and to common stock and to exchange the Treasury Community Development Capital Initiative (“CDCI”) Series B preferred stock for common stock.

On October 27, 2011 the 1-for-15 reverse stock split was effected, which reduced the number of outstanding shares of common stock from 2,492,415 to 166,161.

On October 28, 2011 the Treasury exchanged the CDCI Series B preferred stock for 2,321,286 shares of Carver common stock and the Series C preferred stock converted into 1,208,039 shares of Carver common stock and 45,118 shares of Series D preferred stock.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of consolidated financial statement presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the Bank’s wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, Carver Asset Corporation, CFSB Realty Corp., Carver Community Development Corporation, and CFSB Credit Corp. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the period then ended. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the March 31, 2012 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K. Amounts subject to significant estimates and assumptions are items such as the allowance for loan losses, realization of deferred tax assets, and the fair value of financial instruments. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses or future write-downs of real estate owned may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions in the areas where Carver Federal has extended mortgages and other credit instruments. Actual results could differ significantly from those assumptions. Current market conditions increase the risk and complexity of the judgments in these estimates.

In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), Carver Federal's regulator, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews Carver Federal's allowance for loan losses and, if applicable, real estate owned valuations. The OCC may require Carver Federal to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses or additional write-downs of real estate owned based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Investment Securities

When purchased, investment securities are designated as either investment securities held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading.  

Securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost only if the Bank has a positive intent and ability to hold such securities to maturity.  Securities held-to-maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts using the level-yield method over the remaining period until maturity.

If not classified as held-to-maturity, securities are classified as available-for-sale based upon management's ability to sell in response to actual or anticipated changes in interest rates, resulting prepayment risk or any other factors. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value. Estimated fair values of securities are based on either published or security dealers' market value if available. If quoted or dealer prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted or dealer prices for similar securities.

Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.

The Company conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment that has an unrealized holding loss. Unrealized holding gains or losses for securities available-for-sale are excluded from earnings and reported net of deferred income taxes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and a component of the Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity. Following FASB guidance, the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment, when there are credit and non-credit losses on a debt security which management does not intend to sell, and for which it is more-likely-than-not that the entity will not be required to sell the security prior to the recovery of the non-credit impairment, the portion of the total impairment that is attributable to the credit loss would be recognized in earnings, and the remaining difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value would be included in other comprehensive loss.

During fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, no impairment charges were recorded. Gains or losses on sales of securities of all classifications are recognized based on the specific identification method.

6

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The valuation methodology for loans held-for-sale are based upon amounts offered, appraisals or other acceptable valuation methods and, in some instances, prior loan loss experience of Carver in connection with note sales since March 31, 2011.

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable are carried at unpaid principal balances plus unamortized premiums, purchase accounting mark-to-market adjustments, certain deferred direct loan origination costs and deferred loan origination fees and discounts, less the allowance for loan losses and charge offs.

The Bank defers loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs and amortizes or accretes such amounts as an adjustment of yield over the contractual lives of the related loans using methodologies which approximate the interest method.  Premiums and discounts on loans purchased are amortized or accreted as an adjustment of yield over the contractual lives, of the related loans, adjusted for prepayments when applicable, using methodologies which approximate the interest method.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they are past due 90 days or more as to contractual obligations or when other circumstances indicate that collection is not probable.  When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest accrued but not received is reversed against interest income.  Payments received on a non-accrual loan are either applied to protection advances, the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on an assessment of the ability to collect the loan.  A non-accrual loan is restored to accrual status when principal and interest payments become less than 90 days past due and its future collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company defines an impaired loan as a loan for which it is probable, based on current information, that the lender will not collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Collateral dependent impaired loans are assessed individually to determine if the loan's current estimated fair value of the property that collateralizes the impaired loan, if any, less costs to sell the property, is less than the recorded investment in the loan. Cash flow dependent loans are assessed individually to determine if the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than the recorded investment in the loan. Smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment collectively unless they are modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Such loans primarily include one-to four family residential mortgage loans and consumer loans.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”)

The adequacy of the Bank's ALLL is determined, in accordance with the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the “Interagency Policy Statement”) released by the OCC on December 13, 2006 and in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450 and ASC Topic 310. Compliance with the Interagency Policy Statement includes management's review of the Bank's loan portfolio, including the identification and review of situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay. In addition, management reviews the overall portfolio quality through an analysis of delinquency and non-performing loan data, estimates of the value of underlying collateral, current charge-offs and other factors that may affect the portfolio, including a review of regulatory examinations, an assessment of current and expected economic conditions and changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio are all taken into consideration.

The ALLL reflects management's evaluation of the loans presenting identified loss potential, as well as the risk inherent in various components of the portfolio. There is a great amount of judgment applied to developing the ALLL. As such, there can never be assurance that the ALLL accurately reflects the actual loss potential inherent in a loan portfolio. Any change in circumstances considered by management to develop the ALLL could necessitate a change to the ALLL, including a change to the loan portfolio, such as a decline in credit quality or an increase in potential problem loans.

General Reserve Allowance

Carver's maintenance of a general reserve allowance in accordance with ASC Topic 450 includes Carver's evaluating the risk to loss potential of homogeneous pools of loans based upon a review of nine different factors that are then applied to each pool.  The pools of loans (“Loan Type”) are:

• 1-4 Family

• Construction

• Multifamily

• Commercial Real Estate

7

• Business Loans

• SBA Loans

• Other (Consumer and Overdraft Accounts)

The pools are further segregated into the following risk rating classes:

• Pass

• Special Mention

• Substandard

• Doubtful

• Loss

The Bank next applies to each pool a risk factor that determines the level of general reserves for that specific pool.  The risk factors are comprised of actual losses for the most recent four quarters as a percentage of each respective Loan Type plus qualitative factors.  As the loss experience for a Loan Type increases or decreases, the level of reserves required for that particular Loan Type also increases or decreases.  Because actual loss experience may not adequately predict the level of losses inherent in a portfolio, the Bank reviews nine qualitative factors to determine if reserves should be adjusted based upon any of those factors.  As the risk ratings worsen some of the qualitative factors tend to increase.  The nine qualitative factors the Bank considers and may utilize are:

Specific Reserve Allowance

Carver also maintains a specific reserve allowance for criticized and classified loans individually reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310 guidelines. The amount assigned to the specific reserve allowance is individually-determined based upon the loan. The ASC Topic 310 guidelines require the use of one of three approved methods to estimate the amount to be reserved and/or charged off for such credits. The three methods are as follows:

1. The present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate;

2. The loan's observable market price; or

3. The fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The institution may choose the appropriate ASC Topic 310 measurement on a loan-by-loan basis for an individually impaired loan, except for an impaired collateral-dependent loan. Guidance requires impairment of a collateral-dependent loan to be measured using the fair value of collateral method. A loan is considered "collateral-dependent" when the repayment of the debt will be provided solely by the underlying collateral, and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment.

Criticized and Classified loans with at risk balances of $500,000 or more and loans below $500,000 that the Credit Officer deems appropriate for review, are identified and reviewed for individual evaluation for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. Carver also performs impairment analysis for all troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). If it is determined that it is probable the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, the loan is categorized as impaired.

If the loan is determined to be not impaired, it is then placed in the appropriate pool of Criticized & Classified loans to be evaluated for potential losses. Loans determined to be impaired are then evaluated to determine the measure of impairment

amount based on one of the three measurement methods noted above. If it is determined that there is an impairment amount, the Bank then determines whether the impairment amount is permanent (that is a confirmed loss), in which case the loan is written down by the amount of the impairment, or if it is other than permanent, in which case the Bank establishes a specific valuation reserve that is included in the total ALLL. In accordance with guidance, if there is no impairment amount, no reserve is established for the loan.

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

Troubled debt restructured loans (“TDR”) are those loans whose terms have been modified because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower and a concession is made. Modifications could include extension of the terms of the loan, reduced interest rates, and forgiveness of accrued interest and/or principal. Once an obligation has been restructured because of such credit problems, it continues to be considered restructured until paid in full. For cash flow dependent loans, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the difference between the present value of estimated future cash flows under the restructured terms discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, and the loan's original carrying value. For a collateral dependent loan, the Company records an impairment when the current estimated fair value of the property that collateralizes the impaired loan, if any, is less than the recorded investment in the loan. TDR loans remain on non-accrual status until they have performed in accordance with the restructured terms for a period of at least 6 months.

NOTE 4. COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS

As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 29, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors announced that, based on highly uncertain economic conditions and the desire to preserve capital, Carver suspended payment of the quarterly cash dividend on its common stock. In accordance with the Orders, the Bank and Company are also prohibited from paying any dividends without prior regulatory approval, and, as such, suspended the regularly quarterly cash dividend payments on the Company's Series B preferred stock issued under the Trouble Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (“TARP CPP”) to the United States Department of Treasury (“Treasury”). There are no assurances that the payments of dividends on the common stock will resume.

Debenture interest payments which had previously been deferred in March 2011 and June 2011 on the Carver Statutory Trust I (trust preferred securities (“TruPS”) were brought current in September 2011 before the regulators precluded future payments without prior approval. These payments remain on deferral status.

On October 18, 2011 Carver received approval from the Federal Reserve Bank to pay all outstanding dividend payments (which included $192 thousand accrued during the six month period ended September 30, 2011) on the Company's Series B preferred stock issued under the TARP CPP.

9

On October 28, 2011 the Treasury exchanged the CDCI Series B preferred stock for 2,321,286 shares of Carver common stock and the Series C preferred stock converted into 1,208,039 shares of Carver common stock and 45,118 shares of Series D preferred stock. Series C stock was previously reported as Mezzanine equity, and upon conversion to common and Series D preferred stock is now reported as Stockholder's equity. The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends, on an as-converted basis, simultaneously to the payment of any dividends on the common stock.

NOTE 5. INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Bank utilizes mortgage-backed and other investment securities in its asset/liability management strategy. In making investment decisions, the Bank considers, among other things, its yield and interest rate objectives, its interest rate and credit risk position and its liquidity and cash flow.

Generally, the investment policy of the Bank is to invest funds among categories of investments and maturities based upon the Bank’s asset/liability management policies, investment quality, loan and deposit volume and collateral requirements, liquidity needs and performance objectives. ASC subtopic 320-942 requires that securities be classified into three categories: trading, held-to-maturity, and available-for-sale. At September 30, 2012, the Bank had no securities classified as trading. At September 30, 2012, $114.5 million, or 91.9%, of the Bank’s mortgage-backed and other investment securities, were classified as available-for-sale. The remaining $10.0 million, or 8.1%, were classified as held-to-maturity.

The following table sets forth the amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity at September 30, 2012 :

A total of 13 securities had an unrealized loss at September 30, 2012 compared to 14 at March 31, 2012. The majority of the securities in an unrealized loss position were mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Government Agency securities, asset-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities, representing 42.4%, 16.6%, 27.3% and 3.8% of total securities in an unrealized loss position that had an unrealized loss for less than 12 months at September 30, 2012. One security representing 9.9% of those securities in an unrealized loss position had an unrealized loss for more than 12 months at September 30, 2012.

Given the U.S. government's guarantees of the mortgage-backed and agency securities and U.S. Treasury Notes, there is no reason to believe that these securities will experience permanent impairment. Management believes that these unrealized losses are a direct result of the current rate environment and will recover as the economic conditions improve. On the two impaired asset-backed securities, the credit ratings from Moody's and Standard & Poor's were triple and double 'A' for the respective securities. Management believes that these securities impairments are due to interest rate cycles and will not be permanent.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, there was a Government National Mortgage Association security impaired for more than 12 months. Management believes that this security impairment is due to interest rate cycle and intends to keep the security in the portfolio for the foreseeable future. Given the Bank's ample liquidity, the bank also has the ability to hold this security in the portfolio.

Following FASB guidance, the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment, when there are credit and non-credit losses on a debt security which management does not intend to sell, and for which it is more-likely-than-not that the entity will not be required to sell the security prior to the recovery of the non-credit impairment, the portion of the total impairment that is attributable to the credit loss would be recognized in earnings, and the remaining difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value would be included in other comprehensive loss. At September 30, 2012, the Bank does not have any other securities that may be classified as having other than temporary impairment in its investment portfolio.

The following is a summary of the carrying value (amortized cost) and fair value of securities at September 30, 2012, by remaining period to contractual maturity (ignoring earlier call dates, if any).  Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain security issuers have the right to call or prepay theirobligations.  The table below does not consider the effects of possible prepayments or unscheduled repayments.

NOTE 6. LOANS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

The loans receivable portfolio is segmented into One-to-Four Family, Multifamily Mortgage, Commercial Real-Estate, Construction, Business, Small Business Administration & Consumer and Other Loans.

The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”) reflects management’s judgment in the evaluation of probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. Management uses a disciplined process and methodology to calculate the ALLL each quarter. To determine the total ALLL, management estimates the reserves needed for each segment of the loan portfolio, including loans analyzed individually and loans analyzed on a pooled basis. For further details on the ALLL, please reference Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

From time to time, events or economic factors may affect the loan portfolio, causing management to provide additional amounts or release balances from the ALLL. The ALLL is sensitive to risk ratings assigned to individually evaluated loans and economic assumptions and delinquency trends. Individual loan risk ratings are evaluated based on the specific facts related to that loan. Additions to the ALLL are made by charges to the provision for loan losses. Credit exposures deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the ALLL, while recoveries of previously charged off amounts are credited to the ALLL.

The following is a summary of loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses, and loans held for sale at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

Total non-accrual loans	$	34,953	$	54,588

Non-performing loans decreased to $35.0 million at September 30, 2012 from $54.6 million at March 31, 2012. The majority of the decline during the current six month period ended September 30, 2012 related to 9 non-performing loans with a fair value of $7.2 million that were moved to held for sale, 6 TDR loans with a fair value of $1.8 million that were upgraded to performing as they had performed in accordance with their modified terms for six months and one construction loan with a fair value of $5 million that was paid off.

Non-performing loans at September 30, 2012, were comprised of $9.5 million of loans 90 days or more past due and non-accruing, $8.6 million of loans that are either performing or less than 90 days past due and have been deemed to be impaired and $16.9 million of loans classified as a troubled debt restructuring and either not consistently performing in accordance with their modified terms or not performing in accordance with their modified terms for at least six months.

Non-performing loans at March 31, 2012, were comprised of $31.5 million of loans 90 days or more past due and non-accruing, $2.1 million of loans that are either performing or less than 90 days past due and have been deemed to be impaired and $21.0 million of loans classified as a troubled debt restructuring and either not consistently performing in accordance with their modified terms or not performing in accordance with their modified terms for at least six months.

At September 30, 2012, other non-performing assets totaled $28.9 million which consists of other real estate owned and held-for-sale loans.  Other real estate owned of $2.1 million reflects five foreclosed properties.

The Bank utilizes an internal loan classification system as a means of reporting problem loans within its loans categories. Loans may be classified as "Pass," “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” and “Loss.” Loans rated Pass have demonstrated satisfactory asset quality, earning history, liquidity, and other adequate margins of creditor protection. They represent a moderate credit risk and some degree of financial stability. Loans are considered collectible in full, but perhaps require greater than average amount of loan officer attention. Borrowers are capable of absorbing normal setbacks without failure. Loans rated Special Mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank's credit position at some future date. Loans rated Substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans rated Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans classified as Loss are those considered uncollectible with insignificant value and are charged-off immediately to the allowance for loan losses.

One-to-four family residential loans and consumer and other loans are rated non-performing if they are delinquent in payments ninety or more days, a troubled debt restructuring with less than six months contractual performance or past maturity. All other one- to-four family residential loans and consumer and other loans are performing loans.

As of September 30, 2012, and based on the most recent analysis performed in the current quarter, the risk category by class of loans is as follows.

Management determined the specific allowance based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when the remaining source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In those cases, the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs was used to determine the specific allowance recorded. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, all payments are applied to principal, under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, contractual interest is credited to interest income when received, under the cash basis method.

The following table presents information on impaired loans and non-performing TDR loans ($16.9 million) with the associated allowance amount, if applicable at September 30, 2012 and the interest income recognized for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 .

In certain circumstances,  loan modifications involve a troubled borrower to whom the Bank may grant a modification. Situations around modifications involving troubled borrowers may include extension of maturity date, reduction in the stated interest rate, rescheduling of future cash flows, reduction in the face amount of the debt or reduction of past accrued interest. In cases where the Bank grants any such concession to a troubled borrower, the Bank accounts for the modification as a TDR under ASC 310-40 and the related allowance under ASC 310-10-35. Loans modified in TDRs are placed on non-accrual status until the Company

20

determines that future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrate performance according to the restructured terms for a period of at least six months.

The following table presents an analysis of those loan modifications that were classified as non performing TDRs during the three and six month period ended September 30, 2012.

In an effort to proactively manage delinquent loans, Carver has selectively extended to certain borrowers concessions such as rate reductions or forbearance agreements. For the three month period ended September 30, 2012, no loans were modified with interest rate concessions. For the six month period ended September 30, 2012, one loan of $0.5 million was modified with an interest rate concession of 1.25%. There was one modification with an interest rate concession of 5.0% made to a $0.9 million loan during the three and six month period ended September 30, 2011.

For the period ended September 30, 2012, Carver had one commercial real estate loan with an outstanding balance of $2.4 million that had been modified and subsequently defaulted within the last twelve months.

TDR's are factored into the determination of the allowance for loan losses. The Company has allocated approximately $339 thousand of the loan loss allowance at September 30, 2012 for those TDRs modified within the last three months.

For the period ended September 30, 2012 there were eleven loans in the TDR portfolio totaling $5.2 million that were on accrual status as they had performed within their modified terms for a consecutive six month period.

At September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were no loans to officers or directors of the Company.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES

The following is a reconciliation of the expected Federal income tax rate to the consolidated effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2012:

$ in thousands	September 30, 2012
	Amount			Percent

Other	131			(43.1	)%
Total income tax expense	$	196		(64.2	)%

On June 29, 2011, the Company raised $55 million of equity. The capital raise triggered a change in control  under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Generally, Section 382 limits the utilization of an entity's net operating loss carry forwards, general business credits, and recognized built-in losses upon a change in ownership. The Company expects to be subject to an annual limitation of approximately $0.9 million. The Company has a net deferred tax asset (“DTA”) of approximately $27.9 million.  Based on management's calculations the Section 382 limitation has resulted in a reduction of the deferred tax asset of $4.7 million.  A full valuation allowance for the remaining net deferred tax asset of $23.2 million has been recorded.

At September 30, 2012, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal purposes of approximately $18.0 million, for state purposes of approximately $31.4 million and for city purposes of approximately $26.3 million, which are available to offset future federal, state and city income and which expire over varying periods from March 2028 through March 2032.

The Company has no uncertain tax positions.  The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to federal, New York State and New York City income taxation.  The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before March 31, 2006. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination; with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.  

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an “exit” price, representing the amount that would be received when selling an asset, or paid when transferring a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is thus a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

22

As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

• Level 1— Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2— Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

• Level 3— Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s categorization within this valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents, by valuation hierarchy, assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, and that are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at these dates:

Instruments for which unobservable inputs are significant to their fair value measurement (i.e., Level 3) include mortgage servicing rights. Level 3 assets accounted for 0.1% of the Company’s total assets at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

 The Company reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes from one quarter to the next that are related to the observable inputs to a fair value measurement may result in a reclassification from one hierarchy level to another.

Below is a description of the methods and significant assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of available-for-sale securities and mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”):

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government securities and exchange-traded securities. 

If quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. These pricing models primarily use market-based or independently sourced market parameters as inputs, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, equity or debt prices, and credit spreads. In addition to market information, models also incorporate transaction details, such as maturity and cash flow assumptions. Securities valued in this manner would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy and primarily include such instruments as mortgage-related securities and corporate debt.

In the period ended September 30, 2012, there were no transfers of investments between the Level 1 and Level 2 categories.

In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. In valuing certain securities, the determination of fair value may require benchmarking to similar instruments or analyzing default and recovery rates. Quoted price information for the MSRs is not available. Therefore, MSRs are valued using market-standard models to model the specific cash flow structure. Key inputs to the model consist of principal balance of loans being serviced, servicing fees and prepayment rates.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

The following table includes a roll-forward of assets classified by the Company within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Such instruments are subject to fair value adjustments under certain circumstances (e.g. when there is evidence of impairment). The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 and that are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as these dates:

Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The valuation methodology for loans held for sale for the period ended September 30, 2012 was based upon amounts offered, appraisals or other acceptable valuation methods and, in some instances, prior loan loss experience of Carver in connection with note sales since March 31, 2011.

The fair values of collateral-dependent impaired loans are determined using various valuation techniques, including consideration of appraised values and other pertinent real estate market data.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

According to current GAAP, disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments are required to include, in addition to the carrying value, the fair value of certain financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recorded on and off balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Accounting guidance defines financial instruments as cash, evidence of ownership of an entity, or a contract that conveys or imposes on an entity the contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument. The fair value of a financial instrument is discussed below. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values have been determined by the Bank using the best available data and estimation methodology suitable for each such category of financial instruments. For those loans and deposits with floating interest rates, it is presumed that estimated fair values generally approximate their recorded carrying value. The Bank's primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility.  Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact the Bank's fair value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which are short term in maturity. The estimated fair values and carrying values of the Bank’s financial instruments and estimation methodologies are set forth below:

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents and accrued interest receivable

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value and are classified as Level 1 because they mature in three months or less.

Restricted cash

The carrying amounts for restricted cash approximates fair value and are classified as Level 1 because they represent short term interest bearing deposits.

Securities

The fair values for securities available-for-sale, and securities held-to-maturity are based on quoted market or dealer prices, if available. If quoted market or dealer prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market or dealer prices for similar securities. Available for Sale securities are classified across Levels 1, 2 and 3. Held-to-maturity securities are classified as Level 2.

FHLB Stock

The fair value of FHLB stock approximates the carrying amount, which is at cost and is classified as Level 2.

Loans receivable

The fair value of loans receivable is estimated by discounting future cash flows, using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities of such loans. The method used to estimate the fair value of loans is extremely sensitive to the assumptions and estimates used. While management has attempted to use assumptions and estimates that best reflect the Company's loan portfolio and current market conditions, a greater degree of objectivity is inherent in these values than in those determined in active markets. The loan valuations thus determined do not necessarily represent an “exit” price that would be achieved in an active market. Loans receivable are classified as Level 3.

Loans held-for-sale

27

Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value and are classified as Level 2. The valuation methodology for loans held-for-sale are based upon amounts offered, appraisals or other acceptable valuation methods and, in some instances, prior loan loss experience of Carver in connection with note sales since March 31, 2011.

Accrued interest receivable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Mortgage servicing rights

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is determined by discounting the present value of estimated future servicing cash flows using current market assumptions for prepayments, servicing costs and other factors and are classified as Level 3.

Deposits

The fair value of demand, savings and club accounts is equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. These deposits are classified as Level 1. The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market.

Advances from FHLB-NY and Other borrowed money

The fair values of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and other borrowed money are estimated using the rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities and are classified as Level 2

Commitments to Extend Credits, Commercial, and Standby Letters of Credit

The fair value of the commitments to extend credit was estimated to be insignificant as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit was evaluated using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the risk characteristics of the borrower, and estimated to be insignificant as of the reporting date.

Limitations

The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no quoted market value exists for a significant portion of the Bank's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing off balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to value anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets and liabilities include premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.

Finally, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.

NOTE 10. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

28

The Company's subsidiary, Carver Statutory Trust I, is not consolidated with Carver Bancorp Inc. for financial reporting purposes.  Carver Statutory Trust I was formed in 2003 for the purpose of issuing $13.0 million aggregate liquidation amount of floating rate Capital Securities due September 17, 2033 (“Capital Securities”) and $0.4 million of common securities (which are the only voting securities of Carver Statutory Trust I), which are 100% owned by Carver Bancorp Inc., and using the proceeds to acquire Junior Subordinated Debentures issued by Carver Bancorp Inc.  Carver Bancorp Inc. has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Capital Securities along with all obligations of Carver Statutory Trust I under the trust agreement relating to the Capital Securities.

The Bank's subsidiary, Carver Community Development Corporation (“CCDC”), was formed to facilitate its participation in local economic development and other community-based activities. Per the NMTC Award's Allocation Agreement between the CDFI Fund and CCDC, CCDC is permitted to form and sub-allocate credits to subsidiary Community Development Entities (“CDEs”) to facilitate investments in separate development projects.

The variable interest entities (“VIEs”) such as the CDE's and Carver Statutory Trust I are consolidated, as required, where Carver has controlling financial interest in these entities and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Carver is normally deemed to have a controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary if it has both of the following characteristics:

(a) the power to direct activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entities economic performance; and

(b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could benefit from the actvities that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Bank's involvement with VIEs, consolidated and unconsolidated, in which the company holds significant variable interests or has continuing involvement through servicing a majority of assets in a VIE, is presented below:

(1) Excludes any proceeds realized from exchange of equity interest in CDEs as detailed below.

The Bank was originally awarded $59 million of NMTC. In fiscal 2008, the Bank transferred $19 million of rights to an investor in a NMTC project. The entity was called CDE-10. 

With respect to the remaining $40 million of the original NMTC award, the Bank has established various special purpose entities (CDE's 1-9,11-12) through which its investments in NMTC eligible activities are conducted.  As the Bank is exposed to all of the expected losses and residual returns from these investments, under ASC topic 810 the Bank has determined it has a controlling

29

financial interest and is the primary beneficiary of these entities. During December 2010, Carver transferred its equity ownership in the CDEs and the associated rights to an investor in exchange for $6.7 million in cash.

As a result of Carver financing the purchase note, the CDEs continue to be consolidated and the investor's equity investment of $6.7 million was reflected as non-controlling interest in the Statement of Financial Condition. The sale of the equity interest in the CDEs provides the investor with rights to the new market tax credits on a prospective basis. A portion of non-controlling interest is transferred to the controlling interest as the investor earns the tax credits. Under the current arrangement, the Bank has a contingent obligation to reimburse the investor for any loss or shortfall incurred as a result of the NMTC project not being in compliance with certain regulations that would void the investor's ability to otherwise utilize tax credits stemming from the award.

In May 2009, the Bank received a second NMTC award in the amount of $65 million. During the period from December 2009 to December 2010, the Bank transferred rights to investors in NMTC projects (entities CDE 13-19). The Bank has a contingent obligation to reimburse the investor for any loss or shortfall incurred as a result of the NMTC project not being in compliance with certain regulations that would void the investor's ability to otherwise utilize tax credits stemming from the award.

In August 2011, the Bank received a third NMTC award in the amount of $25 million. In January 2012 and September 2012, the Bank transferred rights to investors in NMTC projects (CDE 20 and 21).  The Bank has a contingent obligation to reimburse the investor for any loss or shortfall incurred as a result of the NMTC project not being in compliance with certain regulations that would void the investor's ability to otherwise utilize tax credits stemming from the award. 

The Bank has established various special purpose entities (CDEs 22-25) through which its investments in NMTC eligible activities will be conducted. As of September 30, 2012 there have been no activities in these entities.

NOTE 11. IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires new disclosures and clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. Specifically, the update requires an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for such transfers. A reporting entity is required to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs. In addition, the update clarifies the following requirements of the existing disclosures: (i) for the purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets; and (ii) a reporting entity is required to include disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The disclosures related to the gross presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2011. The remaining disclosure requirements and clarifications made by ASU No. 2010-06 became effective for the Company on April 1, 2010. In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).” The amendments in ASU 2011-04 generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. ASU 2011-04 results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively and are effective during annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The remaining disclosure requirements and clarifications made by ASU No. 2011-04 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. Under this guidance, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. It does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. In December  2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update (ASU 2011-12) to guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income.  Under this guidance, an entity can defer the effective date of the requirement to present separate line items on the income statement for reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The deferral is temporary until the Board reconsiders the operational concerns and needs of financial statement users.

30

The Board has not yet established a timetable for its reconsideration. The adoption of this guidance became effective for the Company in June 2012 and did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENTS EVENTS

In accordance with ASC Topic 855, the Company has evaluated whether any subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto have taken place through the date these financial statements were issued. On October 29 and 30, 2012, the Company's market area experienced unprecedented damage due to Hurricane Sandy.  Although the extent of the damage and its impact on the Company cannot be determined at this time, the storm is expected to impair the ability of some borrowers to repay their loans and also adversely impact collateral values.  As a result, the Company may experience increased levels of non-performing loans and loan losses which may negatively impact earnings.

Overview

Carver Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) is the holding company for Carver Federal Savings Bank (“Carver Federal” or the “Bank”), a federally chartered savings bank. The Company is headquartered in New York, New York. The Company conducts business as a unitary savings and loan holding company, and the principal business of the Company consists of the operation of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Carver Federal. Carver Federal was founded in 1948 to serve African-American communities whose residents, businesses and institutions had limited access to mainstream financial services. The Bank remains headquartered in Harlem, and predominantly all its nine branches and eight stand-alone 24/7 ATM Centers are located in low- to moderate-income neighborhoods. Many of these historically underserved communities have experienced unprecedented growth and diversification of incomes, ethnicity and economic opportunity, after decades of public and private investment.

Carver Federal is the largest African-American operated bank in the United States. The Bank remains dedicated to expanding wealth enhancing opportunities in the communities it serves by increasing access to capital and other financial services for consumers, businesses and non-profit organizations, including faith-based institutions. A measure of its progress in achieving this goal includes the Bank's "Outstanding" rating, awarded by the OCC following its most recent Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) examination in 2009. The examination report noted that 76.1% of Carver's community development lending and 55.4% of Carver's Home-Owners Mortgage Disclosure Act (“HMDA”) reportable loan originations were within low- to moderate-income geographies, which far exceeded peer institutions. The Bank had approximately $638.3 million in assets as of September 30, 2012 and employed approximately 130 employees as of September 30, 2012.

Carver Federal engages in a wide range of consumer and commercial banking services.  Carver Federal provides deposit products, including demand, savings and time deposits for consumers, businesses, and governmental and quasi-governmental agencies in its local market area within New York City.  In addition to deposit products, Carver Federal offers a number of other consumer and commercial banking products and services, including debit cards, online banking, online bill pay and telephone banking. Carver Federal also offers a suite of products and services for unbanked and underbanked consumers. This includes check cashing, wire transfers, bill payment, reloadable prepaid cards and money orders.

Carver Federal offers loan products covering a variety of asset classes, including commercial, multi-family and residential mortgages, construction loans and business loans.  The Bank finances mortgage and loan products through deposits or borrowings.  Funds not used to originate mortgages and loans are invested primarily in U.S. government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities.

The Bank's primary market area for deposits consists of the areas served by its nine branches in the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens boroughs of New York City.  The neighborhoods in which the Bank's branches are located have historically been low- to moderate-income areas. The Bank's primary lending market includes Kings, New York, Bronx and Queens counties in New York City, and lower Westchester County, New York.  Although the Bank's branches are primarily located in areas that were historically underserved by other financial institutions, the Bank faces significant competition for deposits and mortgage lending in its market areas.  Management believes that this competition had become more intense as a result of increased examination emphasis by federal banking regulators on financial institutions' fulfillment of their responsibilities under the CRA and more recently due to the decline in demand for loans by qualified borrowers. Carver Federal's market area has a high density of financial institutions, many of which have greater financial resources, name recognition and market presence, and all of which are competitors to varying degrees. The Bank's competition for loans comes principally from commercial banks, savings institutions and mortgage banking companies. The Bank's most direct competition for deposits comes from commercial banks, savings institutions and credit unions. Competition for deposits also comes from money market mutual funds, corporate and government securities funds, and financial intermediaries such as brokerage firms and insurance companies. Many of the Bank's competitors have substantially greater resources and offer a wider array of financial services and products.  This, combined with competitors' larger presence in the New York market, add to the challenges the Bank faces in expanding its current market share and growing its near-term profitability.

Carver Federal's more than 60 year history in its market area, its community involvement and relationships, targeted products and services and personal service consistent with community banking, help the Bank compete with other competitors that have entered its market.

33

The Bank formalized its many community-focused investments on August 18, 2005, by forming Carver Community Development Corporation (“CCDC”). CCDC oversees the Bank's participation in local economic development and other community-based initiatives, including financial literacy activities. CCDC coordinates the Bank's development of an innovative approach to reach the unbanked customer market in Carver Federal's communities. Importantly, CCDC spearheads the Bank's applications for grants and other resources to help fund these important community activities. In this connection, Carver Federal has successfully competed with large regional and global financial institutions in a number of competitions for government grants and other awards.

New Markets Tax Credit Award

The NMTC award is used to stimulate economic development in low- to moderate-income communities.  The NMTC award enables the Bank to invest with community and development partners in economic development projects with attractive terms including, in some cases, below market interest rates, which may have the effect of attracting capital to underserved communities and facilitating the revitalization of the community, pursuant to the goals of the NMTC program.  The NMTC award provides a credit to Carver Federal against Federal income taxes when the Bank makes qualified investments.  The credits are allocated over seven years from the time of the qualified investment. In the alternative, the Bank can utilize the award in projects where another entity provides funding and receives the tax benefits of the award in exchange for the Bank receiving fee income.

In June 2006, Carver Federal was selected by the U.S. Department of Treasury, in a highly competitive process, to receive its first award of $59 million in New Markets Tax Credits. Carver Federal invested a portion of its award in December 2006 and by December 2008 the Banks allocation was fully invested. In December 2010, the Bank divested its interest in the remaining $7.8 million NMTC tax credits that it would have received through the period ending March 31, 2014, by exchanging its equity interests in the special purpose entities holding the qualified investments for a cash payment of $6.7 million from a special purpose entity, controlled by an unrelated investor, set up to acquire these equity interests. CCDC continues to provide certain administrative services to the special purpose entity that acquired the equity interest. In addition, Carver still provides funding to the underlying projects. CCDC received a second NMTC award of $65 million in May 2009, and a third award of $25 million in August 2011.  During the period of December 2009 to September 2012, the Bank transferred rights to investors in various NMTC projects.  While providing funding to the investments in the NMTC eligible projects, CCDC has retained a 0.01% interest in other special purpose entities created to facilitate the investments, with the investors owning the remaining 99.99%.  CCDC also provides certain administrative services to these entities.  The Bank has determined that it and CCDC do not have the sole power to direct activities of these special purpose entities that significantly impact their performance, therefore it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities.  The Bank has a contingent obligation to reimburse the investors for any loss or shortfall incurred as a result of the NMTC project not being in compliance with certain regulations that would void the investor's ability to otherwise utilize tax credits stemming from the award.  The $65 million of the second award and the $25 million of the third award have been fully deployed.

The Bank's VIEs, consolidated and unconsolidated, in which the company holds significant variable interests or has continuing involvement through servicing a majority of assets in a VIE are presented below:

Hurricane Sandy

As discussed above, on October 29 and 30, 2012, the Company's market area experienced unprecedented damage due to Hurricane Sandy.  Although the extent of the damage and its impact on the Company cannot be determined at this time, the storm is expected to impair the ability of some borrowers to repay their loans and also adversely impact collateral values.  As a result, the Company may experience increased levels of non-performing loans and loan losses which may negatively impact earnings. Approximately twenty-three percent (23%) of Carver Federal's loan portfolio are secured by properties located in the zip codes designated by Governor Cuomo as areas hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy. The types of loans in these areas consist primarily of income producing and owner occupied commercial real estate loans, business loans and residential loans. We are in the process of assessing the damage, if any, that may have occurred to the properties underlying our loans in those areas that were impacted, and there is a risk that the collateral has been compromised and borrowers' ability to repay their obligations has been negatively impacted.  As of the date of this filing, the Company does not have the information needed to determine the extent, if any, of potential losses related to these loans.

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 2 to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for fiscal year-end 2012 included in its 2012 Form 10-K, as supplemented by this report, contains a summary of significant accounting policies and is incorporated by reference. The Company believes its policies, with respect to the methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses, the evaluation of realization of deferred tax assets and the fair value of financial instruments involve a high degree of complexity and require management to make subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could cause reported results to differ materially. The following description of these policies should be read in conjunction with the corresponding section of the Company’s fiscal 2012 Form 10-K.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The adequacy of the Bank's ALLL is determined, in accordance with the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the “Interagency Policy Statement”) released by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on

35

December 13, 2006 and in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450 and ASC Topic 310.  Compliance with the Interagency Policy Statement includes management's review of the Bank's loan portfolio, including the identification and review of individual problem situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay.  In addition, management reviews the overall portfolio quality through an analysis of delinquency and non-performing loan data, estimates of the value of underlying collateral, current charge-offs and other factors that may affect the portfolio, including a review of regulatory examinations, an assessment of current and expected economic conditions and changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio are all taken into consideration. 

The ALLL reflects management's evaluation of the loans presenting identified loss potential, as well as the risk inherent in various components of the portfolio.  There is a great amount of judgment applied to developing the ALLL.  As such, there can never be assurance that the ALLL accurately reflects the actual loss potential inherent in a loan portfolio.  Any change in the judgments utilized to develop the ALLL can change the ALLL.  Further, any change in the size of the loan portfolio or any of its components could necessitate an increase in the ALLL even though there may not be a decline in credit quality or an increase in potential problem loans.

General Reserve Allowance

Carver's maintenance of a general reserve allowance in accordance with ASC Topic 450 includes Carver's evaluating the risk to loss potential of homogeneous pools of loans based upon a review of nine different factors that are then applied to each pool.  The pools of loans (“Loan Type”) are:

• 1-4 Family

• Construction

• Multifamily

• Commercial Real Estate

• Business Loans

• SBA Loans

• Other (Consumer and Overdraft Accounts)

The pools are further segregated into the following risk rating classes:

• Pass

• Special Mention

• Substandard

• Doubtful

The Bank next applies to each pool a risk factor that determines the level of general reserves for that specific pool.  The risk factors are comprised of actual losses for the most recent four quarters as a percentage of each respective Loan Type plus nine qualitative factors.  As the loss experience for a Loan Type increases or decreases, the level of reserves required for that particular Loan Type also increases or decreases.  Because actual loss experience may not adequately predict the level of losses inherent in a portfolio, the Bank reviews nine qualitative factors to determine if reserves should be adjusted based upon any of those factors.  As the risk ratings worsen some of the qualitative factors tend to increase.  The nine qualitative factors the Bank considers and may utilize are:

1. Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses (Policy & Procedures).

2. Changes in relevant economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments (Economy).

3. Changes in the nature or volume of the loan portfolio and in the terms of loans (Nature & Volume).

4. Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff (Management).

5. Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified loans (Problem Assets).

6. Changes in the quality of the loan review system (Loan Review).

7. Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans (Collateral Values).

8. The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations (Concentrations).

36

9. The effect of other external forces such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio (External Forces).

Specific Reserve Allowance

Carver also maintains a specific reserve allowance for criticized & classified loans individually reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310 guidelines. The amount assigned to the specific reserve allowance is individually-determined based upon the loan. The ASC Topic 310 guidelines require the use of one of three approved methods to estimate the amount to be reserved and/or charged off for such credits. The three methods are as follows:

1.The present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate,

2.The loan's loan's observable market price; or

3.The fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The institution may choose the appropriate ASC Topic 310 measurement on a loan-by-loan basis for an individually impaired loan, except for an impaired collateral-dependent loan.  Guidance requires impairment of a collateral dependent loan to be measured using the fair value of collateral method. A loan is considered "collateral dependent" when the repayment of the debt will be provided solely by the underlying collateral, and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment.

Criticized and Classified loans with at risk balances of $500,000 or more and loans below $500,000 that the Credit Officer deems appropriate for review, are identified and reviewed for individual evaluation for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.  Carver also performs impairment analysis for all troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”).  If it is determined that it is probable the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according with the contractual terms of the loan agreement, the loan is categorized as impaired. 

If the loan is determined to be not impaired, it is then placed in the appropriate pool of Criticized & Classified loans to be evaluated for potential losses.  Loans determined to be impaired are then evaluated to determine the measure of impairment amount based on one of the three measurement methods noted above.  If it is determined that there is an impairment amount, the Bank then determines whether the impairment amount is permanent (that is a confirmed loss), in which case the impairment is written down, or if it is other than permanent, in which case the Bank establishes a specific valuation reserve that is included in the total ALLL.  In accordance with guidance, if there is no impairment amount, no reserve is established for the loan.

Securities Impairment

The Bank’s available-for-sale securities portfolio is carried at estimated fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive loss. Securities that the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost. The fair values of securities in portfolio are based on published or securities dealers’ market values and are affected by changes in interest rates. On a quarterly basis, the Bank reviews and evaluates the securities portfolio to determine if the decline in the fair value of any security below its cost basis is other-than-temporary. The Bank generally views changes in fair value caused by changes in interest rates as temporary, which is consistent with its experience. Following FASB guidance, the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment, when there are credit and non-credit losses on a debt security which management does not intend to sell, and for which it is more-likely-than-not that the entity will not be required to sell the security prior to the recovery of the non-credit impairment, the portion of the total impairment that is attributable to the credit loss would be recognized in earnings, and the remaining difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value would be included in other comprehensive loss. This guidance also requires additional disclosures about investments in an unrealized loss position and the methodology and significant inputs used in determining the recognition of other-than-temporary impairment. At September 30, 2012, the Bank does not have any securities that may be classified as having other than temporary impairment in its investment portfolio.

Deferred Tax Asset

The Company records income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 Topic “Income Taxes,” as amended, using the asset and liability method. Income tax expense (benefit) consists of income taxes currently payable/(receivable) and deferred income taxes.  Temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes are measured as of the balance sheet date.  Deferred tax liabilities or recognizable deferred tax assets are calculated on such differences, using current statutory rates, which result in future taxable or deductible amounts.  The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Where applicable, deferred tax assets are reduced by a

37

valuation allowance for any portion determined not likely to be realized. This valuation allowance would subsequently be adjusted, by a charge or credit to income tax expense, as changes in facts and circumstances warrant.

On June 29, 2011, the Company raised $55 million of equity. The capital raise triggered a change in control  under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Generally,  Section 382 limits the utilization of an entity's net operating loss carry forwards, general business credits, and recognized built-in losses upon a change in ownership. The Company expects to be subject to an annual limitation of approximately $0.9 million. The Company has a net deferred tax asset (“DTA”) of approximately $27.9 million.  Based on management's calculations the Section 382 limitation has resulted in a reduction of the deferred tax asset of $4.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  A full valuation allowance for the remaining net deferred tax asset of $23.2 million has been recorded.

Stock Repurchase Program

On August 6, 2002, the Company announced a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to 15,442 shares of its outstanding common stock. As of September 30, 2012, 11,744 shares of its common stock have been repurchased in open market transactions at an average price of $235.80 per share (as adjusted for 1-for-15 reverse stock split that ocurred on October 27, 2011). The Holding Company intends to use repurchased shares to fund its stock-based benefit and compensation plans and for any other purpose the Board deems advisable in compliance with applicable law. No shares were repurchased during the three months ended September 30, 2012.  As a result of the Company's participation in the TARP CDCI, the U.S. Treasury's prior approval is required to make further repurchases. As discussed below, the U.S. Treasury converted their preferred stock into common stock, which the U.S. Treasury continues to hold. The Company continues to be bound by the TARP CDCI restrictions so long as the U.S. Treasury is a common stockholder.

Equity Transactions

On October 25, 2011 the majority of Carver's stockholders voted to approve a 1for 15 reverse stock split. A separate vote of approval was given to convert the Series C preferred stock to Series D preferred stock and common stock and exchange the Treasury CDCI Series B preferred stock for common stock.

On October 27, 2011 the 1-for-15 reverse stock split was effected, which reduced the number of outstanding shares of common stock from 2,492,415 to 166,161.

On October 28, 2011 the Treasury exchanged the CDCI Series B preferred stock for 2,321,286 shares of Carver common stock and the Series C preferred stock converted into 1,208,039 shares of Carver common stock and 45,118 shares of Series D preferred stock. Series C stock was previously reported as Mezzanine equity, and upon conversion to common and Series D is now reportable as Stockholders equity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of the Bank's ability to generate adequate cash to meet its financial obligations.  The principal cash requirements of a financial institution are to cover potential deposit outflows, fund increases in its loan and investment portfolios and ongoing operating expenses.  The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowed funds and principal and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are strongly influenced by changes in general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Carver Federal monitors its liquidity utilizing guidelines that are contained in a policy developed by its management and approved by its Board of Directors.  Carver Federal's several liquidity measurements are evaluated on a frequent basis. The Bank was in compliance with this policy as of September 30, 2012.

Management believes Carver Federal’s short-term assets have sufficient liquidity to cover loan demand, potential fluctuations in deposit accounts and to meet other anticipated cash requirements. Additionally, Carver Federal has other sources of liquidity including the ability to borrow from the FHLB-NY utilizing unpledged mortgage-backed securities and certain mortgage loans, the sale of available-for-sale securities and the sale of certain mortgage loans. Net borrowings increased $22.0 million during the six months ended September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012, the Bank had $47.0 million in borrowings with a weighted average rate of 1.89% maturing over the next three years. Due to the recent deterioration in asset quality, the FHLB-NY has limited new borrowings to a term of thirty days. At September 30, 2012, based on available collateral held at the FHLB-NY, Carver Federal had the ability to borrow from the FHLB-NY an additional $39.3 million on a secured basis, utilizing mortgage-related loans and securities as collateral.

38

The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments.  The level of these assets is dependent on the Bank's operating, investing and financing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2012 and 2011, assets qualifying for short-term liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents, totaled $92.1 million and $70.0 million, respectively.

The most significant potential liquidity challenge the Bank faces is variability in its cash flows as a result of mortgage refinance activity. When mortgage interest rates decline, customers’ refinance activities tend to accelerate, causing the cash flow from both the mortgage loan portfolio and the mortgage-backed securities portfolio to accelerate. In contrast, when mortgage interest rates increase, refinance activities tend to slow, causing a reduction of liquidity. However, in a rising rate environment, customers generally tend to prefer fixed rate mortgage loan products over variable rate products. Because Carver Federal generally sells its one-to-four family 15-year and 30-year fixed rate loan production into the secondary mortgage market, the origination of such products for sale does not significantly reduce Carver Federal’s liquidity. Carver Federal is also at risk to deposit outflows. The Transaction Account Guarantee program (“TAG”) which provides temporary unlimited deposit insurance coverage on noninterest-bearing accounts is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012. Carver Federal believes that the impact on noninterest-bearing deposits will be minimal.

The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows present the change in cash from operating, investing and financing activities. During the six months ended September 30, 2012 total cash and cash equivalents increased $0.4 million reflecting cash used in financing activities of $4.2 million, cash provided by operating activities of $12.2 million, and cash used in investing activities of $7.5 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $4.2 million, primarily resulting from decreases in deposits of $26.2 million which was offset by a net increase in borrowed funds of $22.0 million. Net cash provided by operating activities during this period was $12.2 million and was primarily the result of proceeds on the held for sale loans that were sold during the six month period. Net cash used in investing activities was $7.5 million and was primarily the result of loan pay downs and payoffs of $32.3 million loan sales of $1.1 million, investment paydowns of $21.8 million which was offset by $51.4 million of investment purchases and $11.6 million of originations on held for investment loans.

The OCC requires that the Bank meet minimum capital requirements. Capital adequacy is one of the most important factors used to determine the safety and soundness of individual banks and the banking system.

The table below presents the capital position of the Bank at September 30, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

Bank Regulatory Matters

On February 10, 2011, the Bank and the Company consented to enter into Cease and Desist Orders (“Orders”) with the OTS. The OTS issued these Orders based upon its findings that the Company is operating with an inadequate level of capital for the volume, type and quality of assets held by the Company, that it is operating with an excessive level of adversely classified assets and that its earnings are inadequate to augment its capital.

39

On June 29, 2011, the Company raised $55 million of capital. The $55 million resulted in a $51.4 million increase in liquidity net of the effect of various expenses associated with the capital raise. On June 30, 2011 the Company downstreamed $37 million to the Bank. During December 2011, the Company downstreamed another $7 million to the Bank. However, no assurances can be given that the amount of capital raised is sufficient to absorb the losses emanating from the Bank's loan portfolio. Should the losses be greater than expected additional capital may be necessary in the future.

The Orders included a capital directive requiring the Bank to achieve and maintain minimum regulatory capital levels. The Bank's capital level now exceeds regulatory requirements, with a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 9.91% versus the required 9% and total risk-based capital ratio of 18.09% versus the required 13%.

Under the Orders, the Bank and Company are also prohibited from paying any dividends without prior regulatory approval. On October 18, 2011, the Company received approval from the Federal Reserve Bank to pay all outstanding dividend payments on the Company's fixed-rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock issued under the Capital Purchase Program of the United States Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”). These payments were made in connection with the U.S. Treasury, on October 28, 2011, exchanging the CDCI Series B preferred stock for 2,321,286 shares of Company common stock.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012

Assets

At September 30, 2012, total assets decreased $2.9 million, or 0.5%, to $638.3 million, compared to $641.2 million at March 31, 2012. The loan portfolio decreased $32.9 million, the allowance for loan losses decreased $3.4 million, and loans held for sale decreased $2.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by increases in the investment securities portfolio of $28.3 million.

Investment securities increased $28.3 million to $124.5 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $96.2 million at March 31, 2012. This change reflected an increase of $29.4 million in available-for-sale securities and a $1.0 million decrease in held-to-maturity securities as the Company diversified its investment portfolio to increase earning assets.

Net loans receivable decreased $32.9 million, or 8.0% , to $380.0 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $412.9 million at March 31, 2012. $32.2 million of principal repayments and loan payoffs across all loan classifications contributed to the majority of the decrease, with the largest declines in multi-family and business loans. An additional $7.7 million in loans were transferred from held for investment to HFS. Principal charge offs for the fiscal year totaled $3.8 million. Decreases were partially offset by loan originations and advances of $11.6 million. The decrease of $3.4 million in the allowance for loan losses is due to a reduction in the portfolio's total loss experience and the decrease in loan volume.

HFS loans decreased $2.8 million. The Company continued to take aggressive steps to increase troubled loan resolution. During the period, the portfolio experienced a net increase of $7.2 million (net of charge offs), which was offset by $10.0 million of sales and paydowns.

Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity

Total liabilities decreased $1.5 million, or 0.3%, to $583.1 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $584.6 million at March 31, 2012 as a reduction in deposits of $26.2 million was partially offset by an increase of $22.0 million in short-term borrowings.

Deposits decreased $26.2 million, or 4.9%, to $506.4 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $532.6 million at March 31, 2012 due principally to $9 million of planned withdrawals from non-interest bearing control disbursements accounts and management's decision to allow higher cost certificates of deposit to roll off the balance sheet.

Advances from the FHLB-NY and other borrowed money increased $22.0 million, or 50.6%, to $65.4 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $43.4 million at March 31, 2012 as the Company added to short-term borrowings during the quarter.

Total stockholders equity decreased $1.4 million, or 2.5%, to $55.2 millionat September 30, 2012 compared to $56.6 million at March 31, 2012. The decline reflects the quarter's net loss before taxes (excluding noncontrolling interest) of $1.2 million and the change in other comprehensive loss of $0.3 million.

Asset/Liability Management

The Company's primary earnings source is net interest income, which is affected by changes in the level of interest rates, the relationship between the rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the impact of interest rate fluctuations on asset prepayments, the level and composition of deposits and the credit quality of earning assets.  Management's asset/liability objectives are to maintain a strong, stable net interest margin, to utilize its capital effectively without taking undue risks, to maintain adequate liquidity and to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates.

The economic environment is uncertain regarding future interest rate trends.  Management monitors the Company's cumulative gap position, which is the difference between the sensitivity to rate changes on the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  In addition, the Company uses various tools to monitor and manage interest rate risk, such as a model that projects net interest income based on increasing or decreasing interest rates.

41

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and in connection with its overall investment strategy. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. In accordance with GAAP, these instruments are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Such instruments primarily include lending obligations, including commitments to originate mortgage and consumer loans and to fund unused lines of credit.

Lending commitments include commitments to originate mortgage and consumer loans and commitments to fund unused lines of credit. The Bank has contractual obligations related to operating leases as well as a contingent liability related to a standby letter of credit as discussed in our Fiscal 2012 Form 10-K.The Bank also has a commitment to fund an investment related to a private equity partnership. See the table below for the Bank’s outstanding lending commitments and contractual obligations at September 30, 2012.

The following table reflects the outstanding commitments as of September 30, 2012:

$ in thousands
Commitments to fund construction mortgage loans	$	415
Commitments to fund commercial and consumer loans	4,775

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Overview

The Company reported a net loss of $0.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to net loss of $9.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Net loss per share for the quarter was $0.04 compared to net loss per share of $58.67 for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The primary drivers of the reduction in the loss versus the prior year period were lower loan provision charges, higher non-interest income related to fee income earned on a new market tax credit (“NMTC”) deal and gains on sale of held for sale loans (“HFS”) and lower non-interest expense partially offset by lower net interest income.

The following table reflects selected operating ratios for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Analysis of Net Interest Income

The Company’s profitability is primarily dependent upon net interest income and further affected by provisions for loan losses, non-interest income, non-interest expense and income taxes. Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends primarily upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the corresponding interest rates earned and paid. The Company’s net interest income is significantly impacted by changes in interest rate and market yield curves.

Net interest income decreased $0.8 million to $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $5.7 million for the comparative prior year period. The variance was predominantly in interest income on loans, which declined $1.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on borrowings of $0.5 million.

Net interest income decreased $1.3 million to $9.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $11.0 million for the comparative prior year period. The variance was predominantly in interest income on loans, which declined $2.6 million, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $0.2 million on investments and a decrease in interest expense on borrowings of $1.1 million.

The following tables sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain information about average balances of the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and their related average yields and the average costs for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Average yields are derived by dividing annualized income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from daily or month-end balances as available. Management does not believe that the use of average monthly balances instead of average daily balances represents a material difference in information presented. The average balance of loans includes loans on which the Company has discontinued accruing interest. The yield and cost include fees, which are considered adjustments to yields.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased $1.3 million, or 17.8%, to $6.1 million in the second quarter, compared to the prior year quarter, with the decrease primarily attributed to a $135 million, or 24.6%, decrease in average loans. The average yield on mortgage-backed securities fell 73 basis points to 2.09% from 2.82% during the quarter, as higher yielding securities experienced early payoffs and were replaced with lower yielding securities. Although the average yield on loans increased 23 basis points to 5.30% from 5.07%, the drop in average loans decreased total interest income on loans. Interest income and net interest margin will be under pressure unit average loan balances increase due to the low yields available on alternative earning assets.

45

Interest income decreased $2.4 million, or 16.40%, to $12.3 million in the six month period, compared to the prior year period, with the decrease primarily attributed to a $142.2 million, or 25%, decrease in average loans. The average yield on mortgage-backed securities fell 80 basis points to 2.11% from 2.91% during the period, as higher yielding securities experienced early payoffs and were replaced with lower yielding investment securities. Although the average yield on loans increased 41 basis points to 5.25% from 4.84%, the drop in average loans decreased total interest income on loans

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $0.5 million, or 29.0%, to $1.3 million for the second quarter, compared to $1.8 million for the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in borrowing expense of $0.5 million as $40 million in borrowings were prepaid in March 2012. The decrease in interest expense reflects a 40 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 1.01% for the first quarter, compared to an average cost of 1.41% for the prior year period.

Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 30.81%, to $2.6 million for the six month period, compared to $3.7 million for the prior year period as lower cost deposits replaced borrowings. The average yield on interest bearing liabilities decreased 41 basis points to 1.03% for the six months ended September 30, 2012.

Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality

The Bank maintains an ALLL that management believes is adequate to absorb inherent and probable losses in its loan portfolio. The adequacy of the ALLL is determined by management’s continuous review of the Bank’s loan portfolio, which includes identification and review of individual factors that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay. Management reviews overall portfolio quality through an analysis of delinquency and non-performing loan data, estimates of the value of underlying collateral and current charge-offs. A review of regulatory examinations, an assessment of current and expected economic conditions and changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio are all taken into consideration. The ALLL reflects management’s evaluation of the loans presenting identified loss potential as well as the risk inherent in various components of the portfolio. As such, an increase in the size of the portfolio or any of its components could necessitate an increase in the ALLL even though there may not be a decline in credit quality or an increase in potential problem loans.

The Bank’s provision for loan loss methodology is consistent with the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the “Interagency Policy Statement”) released by the Federal Financial Regulatory Agencies on December 13, 2006. For additional information regarding the Bank’s ALLL policy, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in the Holding Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

The following table summarizes the activity in the ALLL for the six month period ended September 30, 2012 and fiscal year-end March 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

	Six Months Ended September 30, 2012			Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2012

Less: Charge-offs	(4,206		)	(21,935		)

Allowance to total loans	4.32		%	4.80		%

The Bank recorded a $0.6 million provision for loan losses in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $7.0 million for the prior year period. Net charge-offs of $2.8 million were recognized compared to $7.0 million in the prior year

period. The Bank recorded a $0.8 million provision for loan losses for the six month period compared to $12.2 million for the prior year period. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, net charge-offs of $4.2 million were recognized compared to $11.4 million in the prior year period. The charge-offs in both periods were primarily related to impaired loans and loans that moved to held for sale ("HFS"). The impact of the charge-offs to the provision was partially offset by a reduction in the allowance for loan losses, which was primarily due to reductions in loss experience and, to a lesser extent, a decline in loan balances.

At September 30, 2012, non-performing loans totaled $35.0 million, or 5.48% of total assets compared to $54.6 million or 8.5% of total assets at March 31, 2012. The ALLL was $16.4 million at September 30, 2012, which represents a ratio of the ALLL to non-performing loans of 46.94% compared to 36.31% at March 31, 2012. The ratio of the ALLL to total loans was 4.32% at September 30, 2012 down from 4.80% at March 31, 2012.

Non-performing Assets

Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, loans held for sale and property acquired in settlement of loans, including foreclosure. When a borrower fails to make a payment on a loan, the Bank and/or its loan servicers takes prompt steps to have the delinquency cured and the loan restored to current status. This includes a series of actions such as phone calls, letters, customer visits and, if necessary, legal action. In the event the loan has a guarantee, the Bank may seek to recover on the guarantee, including, where applicable, from the SBA. Loans that remain delinquent are reviewed for reserve provisions and charge-off. The Bank’s collection efforts continue after the loan is charged off, except when a determination is made that collection efforts have been exhausted or are not productive.

The Bank may from time to time agree to modify the contractual terms of a borrower’s loan. In cases where such modifications represent a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). Loans modified in a TDR are placed on non-accrual status until the Bank determines that future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrate a period of performance according to the restructured terms for a minimum of six months. At September 30, 2012, loans classified as a TDR totaled $22.1 million.

At September 30, 2012, non-performing assets totaled $63.9 million, or 10.01% of total assets compared to $86.4 million, or 13.47% of total assets at March 31, 2012.

(1) Non-accrual status denotes any loan where the delinquency exceeds 90 days past due and in the opinion of management the collection of additional interest and/or principal is doubtful. Payments received on a non-accrual loan are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on assessment of the ability to collect on the loan. During the current year period 10 non-performing loans with a fair value of $7.2 million were moved to held for sale. Other non-performing assets generally represent loans that the Bank is in the process of selling and has designated held for sale or property acquired by the Bank in settlement of loans less costs to sell (i.e., through foreclosure, repossession or as an in-substance foreclosure).These assets are recorded at the lower of their cost or fair value.
(2) Other non-performing assets generally represent loans that the Bank is in the process of selling and has designated held for sale or property acquired by the Bank in settlement of loans less costs to sell (i.e., through foreclosure, repossession or as an in-substance foreclosure). These assets are recorded at the lower of their cost or fair value.
(3) Troubled debt restructured loans performing in accordance with their modified terms for less than six months and those not performing in accordance with their modified terms are considered non-accrual and are included in the non-accrual category in the table above. At September 30, 2012 there were $5.2 million TDR loans that have performed in accordance with their modified terms for a period of at least six months are generally considered performing loans and are not presented in the table above.
(4) Loans 90 days or more past maturity and still accruing, which were not included in the non-performing category, are presented in the above table.

Subprime Loans

In the past, the Bank originated or purchased a limited amount of subprime loans (which are defined as those loans which have FICO scores of 660 or less). At September 30, 2012, the Bank had $12.9 million in subprime loans, or 3.4% of its total loan portfolio, of which $2.3 million are non-performing loans.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income increased $1.6 million, or 194.0%, to $2.4 million for the second quarter, compared to $0.8 million for the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to a $0.6 million gain on sale of a HFS loan and fee income of $0.6 million fee earned on a NMTC transaction.

Non-interest income increased $1.5 million, or 75.8%, to $3.4 million for the six month period, compared to $1.9 million for the prior year period. The majority of the increase was attributable to fee income received from a NMTC transaction, gains on sales of loans during the period and an increase in depository fees.

Non-Interest Expense

48

Non-interest expense decreased $0.7 million to $6.9 million in the fiscal year 2013 second quarter compared to $7.6 million the prior year quarter. Non-interest expense was lower in all categories with the largest decreases comprised of $0.4 million in compensation expenses, $0.3 million in collection expenses and charge-offs related to non-performing assets.

Non-interest expense decreased $1.7 million in the six month period to $13.5 million compared to $14.9 million in the prior year period. Non-interest expense was lower in all categories with the largest decreases comprised of $0.8 million in compensation expenses, $0.2 million in collection expenses and charge-offs related to non-performing assets and a decline of $0.1 million in FDIC premiums.

Income Tax Expense

The income tax expense was $36 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to $185 thousand for the prior year period.

The income tax expense was $196 thousand for the six month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to $76 thousand for the prior year period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk is presented at March 31, 2012 in Item 7A of the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Company believes that there has been no material change in the Company’s market risk at September 30, 2012 compared to March 31, 2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Controller (Principal Accounting Officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Controller concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Controller, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's system of internal control is designed under the supervision of management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with the authorization of management and the Boards of Directors of the Parent Company and the subsidiary banks; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

49

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.

As of September 30, 2012, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon its assessment, management believes that the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012 is effective using these criteria.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company and the Bank are parties to various legal proceedings incident to their business.  Certain claims, suits, complaints and investigations (collectively “proceeding”) involving the Company and the Bank, arising in the ordinary course of business, have been filed or are pending.  The Company is unable at this time to determine the ultimate outcome of each proceeding, but believes, after discussions with legal counsel representing the Company and the Bank in these proceedings, that it has meritorious defenses to each proceeding and the Company and the Bank is taking appropriate measures to defend its  interests. 

Carver Federal is a defendant in one lawsuit brought by a purported fifty percent loan participant on a multifamily loan, alleging gross negligence and breach of contract in the manner in which Carver Federal serviced the loan.  Plaintiff asserts damages in excess of $500,000.  Carver Federal brought a counter claim against the plaintiff and a third party complaint against the original loan participant seeking recovery of funds Carver Federal advanced on their behalf, such as real estate taxes, in connection with servicing of the multifamily loan.  In another matter, in September 2010, the New York State Department of Labor (“DOL”) Unemployment Insurance Division, based on claims for unemployment benefits made by two individuals formerly engaged as independent contractors by Carver Federal, determined that these two individuals were employees and not independent contractors for Unemployment Insurance purposes.  Carver Federal requested a hearing before the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board (“Appeal Board”).  On July 18, 2011, an Appeal Board's Administrative Judge sustained the DOL's determination.  Carver Federal continues to believe it has a meritorious case and has recently filed an appeal with the Appeals Board.  In accordance with ASC Topic 450 Carver has accrued $415,000 for these lawsuits.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors represent material updates and additions to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 (“Form 10-K”). The risk factors below should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and other information disclosed in our Form 10-K. The risks described below and in our Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks not presently known to the Company, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

An investment in our securities is subject to risks inherent in our business. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, in addition to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Carver's prospective regulatory capital requirements remain uncertain and there is a risk that the Company will be unable to meet these new standards in the time frame expected by the market or regulators.

The proposed final U.S. rule implementing Basel III and the capital related  provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act establishes tougher capital standards through higher capital ratio requirements, more restrictive capital definitions, higher risk-weighting of certain assets and additional capital buffers.  If the final rule is enacted as proposed, Basel III will fundamentally impact the Bank's profitability, and ability to pay dividends and liquidity requirements.  The proposed rule may also require process and system changes, including for stress testing and capital management infrastructure.  The proposed final rule for Basel III is currently in the comment period and management is unable to determine what the final requirements will be or the impact it will have on the Bank. 

Recent hurricane-related events may have a negative impact on Carver's future earnings.

On October 29 and 30, 2012, the Company's market area experienced unprecedented damage due to Hurricane Sandy.  Although the extent of the damage and its impact on the Company cannot be determined at this time, the storm is expected to impair the ability of some borrowers to repay their loans and also adversely impact collateral values.  As a result, the Company may experience increased levels of non-performing loans and loan losses which may negatively impact earnings.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

6 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2012

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of consolidated financial statement presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the Bank’s wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, Carver Asset Corporation, CFSB Realty Corp., Carver Community Development Corporation, and CFSB Credit Corp. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the period then ended. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the March 31, 2012 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K. Amounts subject to significant estimates and assumptions are items such as the allowance for loan losses, realization of deferred tax assets, and the fair value of financial instruments. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses or future write-downs of real estate owned may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions in the areas where Carver Federal has extended mortgages and other credit instruments. Actual results could differ significantly from those assumptions. Current market conditions increase the risk and complexity of the judgments in these estimates.

In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), Carver Federal's regulator, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews Carver Federal's allowance for loan losses and, if applicable, real estate owned valuations. The OCC may require Carver Federal to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses or additional write-downs of real estate owned based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Investment Securities

When purchased, investment securities are designated as either investment securities held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading.  

Securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost only if the Bank has a positive intent and ability to hold such securities to maturity.  Securities held-to-maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts using the level-yield method over the remaining period until maturity.

If not classified as held-to-maturity, securities are classified as available-for-sale based upon management's ability to sell in response to actual or anticipated changes in interest rates, resulting prepayment risk or any other factors. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value. Estimated fair values of securities are based on either published or security dealers' market value if available. If quoted or dealer prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted or dealer prices for similar securities.

Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.

The Company conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment that has an unrealized holding loss. Unrealized holding gains or losses for securities available-for-sale are excluded from earnings and reported net of deferred income taxes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and a component of the Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity. Following FASB guidance, the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment, when there are credit and non-credit losses on a debt security which management does not intend to sell, and for which it is more-likely-than-not that the entity will not be required to sell the security prior to the recovery of the non-credit impairment, the portion of the total impairment that is attributable to the credit loss would be recognized in earnings, and the remaining difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value would be included in other comprehensive loss.

During fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, no impairment charges were recorded. Gains or losses on sales of securities of all classifications are recognized based on the specific identification method.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The valuation methodology for loans held-for-sale are based upon amounts offered, appraisals or other acceptable valuation methods and, in some instances, prior loan loss experience of Carver in connection with note sales since March 31, 2011.

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable are carried at unpaid principal balances plus unamortized premiums, purchase accounting mark-to-market adjustments, certain deferred direct loan origination costs and deferred loan origination fees and discounts, less the allowance for loan losses and charge offs.

The Bank defers loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs and amortizes or accretes such amounts as an adjustment of yield over the contractual lives of the related loans using methodologies which approximate the interest method.  Premiums and discounts on loans purchased are amortized or accreted as an adjustment of yield over the contractual lives, of the related loans, adjusted for prepayments when applicable, using methodologies which approximate the interest method.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they are past due 90 days or more as to contractual obligations or when other circumstances indicate that collection is not probable.  When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest accrued but not received is reversed against interest income.  Payments received on a non-accrual loan are either applied to protection advances, the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on an assessment of the ability to collect the loan.  A non-accrual loan is restored to accrual status when principal and interest payments become less than 90 days past due and its future collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company defines an impaired loan as a loan for which it is probable, based on current information, that the lender will not collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Collateral dependent impaired loans are assessed individually to determine if the loan's current estimated fair value of the property that collateralizes the impaired loan, if any, less costs to sell the property, is less than the recorded investment in the loan. Cash flow dependent loans are assessed individually to determine if the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than the recorded investment in the loan. Smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment collectively unless they are modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Such loans primarily include one-to four family residential mortgage loans and consumer loans.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”)

The adequacy of the Bank's ALLL is determined, in accordance with the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the “Interagency Policy Statement”) released by the OCC on December 13, 2006 and in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450 and ASC Topic 310. Compliance with the Interagency Policy Statement includes management's review of the Bank's loan portfolio, including the identification and review of situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay. In addition, management reviews the overall portfolio quality through an analysis of delinquency and non-performing loan data, estimates of the value of underlying collateral, current charge-offs and other factors that may affect the portfolio, including a review of regulatory examinations, an assessment of current and expected economic conditions and changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio are all taken into consideration.

The ALLL reflects management's evaluation of the loans presenting identified loss potential, as well as the risk inherent in various components of the portfolio. There is a great amount of judgment applied to developing the ALLL. As such, there can never be assurance that the ALLL accurately reflects the actual loss potential inherent in a loan portfolio. Any change in circumstances considered by management to develop the ALLL could necessitate a change to the ALLL, including a change to the loan portfolio, such as a decline in credit quality or an increase in potential problem loans.

General Reserve Allowance

Carver's maintenance of a general reserve allowance in accordance with ASC Topic 450 includes Carver's evaluating the risk to loss potential of homogeneous pools of loans based upon a review of nine different factors that are then applied to each pool.  The pools of loans (“Loan Type”) are:

• 1-4 Family

• Construction

• Multifamily

• Commercial Real Estate

• Business Loans

• SBA Loans

• Other (Consumer and Overdraft Accounts)

The pools are further segregated into the following risk rating classes:

• Pass

• Special Mention

• Substandard

• Doubtful

• Loss

The Bank next applies to each pool a risk factor that determines the level of general reserves for that specific pool.  The risk factors are comprised of actual losses for the most recent four quarters as a percentage of each respective Loan Type plus qualitative factors.  As the loss experience for a Loan Type increases or decreases, the level of reserves required for that particular Loan Type also increases or decreases.  Because actual loss experience may not adequately predict the level of losses inherent in a portfolio, the Bank reviews nine qualitative factors to determine if reserves should be adjusted based upon any of those factors.  As the risk ratings worsen some of the qualitative factors tend to increase.  The nine qualitative factors the Bank considers and may utilize are:

1. Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-offs, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses (Policy & Procedures).

2. Changes in relevant economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments (Economy).

3. Changes in the nature or volume of the loan portfolio and in the terms of loans (Nature & Volume).

4. Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff (Management).

5. Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified loans (Problem Assets).

6. Changes in the quality of the loan review system (Loan Review).

7. Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans (Collateral Values).

8. The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations (Concentrations).

9. The effect of other external forces such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio (External Forces).

Specific Reserve Allowance

Carver also maintains a specific reserve allowance for criticized and classified loans individually reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310 guidelines. The amount assigned to the specific reserve allowance is individually-determined based upon the loan. The ASC Topic 310 guidelines require the use of one of three approved methods to estimate the amount to be reserved and/or charged off for such credits. The three methods are as follows:

1. The present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate;

2. The loan's observable market price; or

3. The fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The institution may choose the appropriate ASC Topic 310 measurement on a loan-by-loan basis for an individually impaired loan, except for an impaired collateral-dependent loan. Guidance requires impairment of a collateral-dependent loan to be measured using the fair value of collateral method. A loan is considered "collateral-dependent" when the repayment of the debt will be provided solely by the underlying collateral, and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment.

Criticized and Classified loans with at risk balances of $500,000 or more and loans below $500,000 that the Credit Officer deems appropriate for review, are identified and reviewed for individual evaluation for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. Carver also performs impairment analysis for all troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). If it is determined that it is probable the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, the loan is categorized as impaired.

If the loan is determined to be not impaired, it is then placed in the appropriate pool of Criticized & Classified loans to be evaluated for potential losses. Loans determined to be impaired are then evaluated to determine the measure of impairmentamount based on one of the three measurement methods noted above. If it is determined that there is an impairment amount, the Bank then determines whether the impairment amount is permanent (that is a confirmed loss), in which case the loan is written down by the amount of the impairment, or if it is other than permanent, in which case the Bank establishes a specific valuation reserve that is included in the total ALLL. In accordance with guidance, if there is no impairment amount, no reserve is established for the loan.

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

Troubled debt restructured loans (“TDR”) are those loans whose terms have been modified because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower and a concession is made. Modifications could include extension of the terms of the loan, reduced interest rates, and forgiveness of accrued interest and/or principal. Once an obligation has been restructured because of such credit problems, it continues to be considered restructured until paid in full. For cash flow dependent loans, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the difference between the present value of estimated future cash flows under the restructured terms discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, and the loan's original carrying value. For a collateral dependent loan, the Company records an impairment when the current estimated fair value of the property that collateralizes the impaired loan, if any, is less than the recorded investment in the loan. TDR loans remain on non-accrual status until they have performed in accordance with the restructured terms for a period of at least 6 months.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION [Abstract]

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

ORGANIZATION

Nature of operations

Carver Bancorp, Inc. (on a stand-alone basis, the “Company” or “Registrant”), was incorporated in May 1996 and its principal wholly-owned subsidiaries are Carver Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank” or “Carver Federal”) and Alhambra Holding Corp, an inactive Delaware corporation. Carver Federal's wholly-owned subsidiaries are CFSB Realty Corp., Carver Community Development Corp. (“CCDC”) and CFSB Credit Corp., which is currently inactive. The Bank has a majority owned interest in Carver Asset Corporation, a real estate investment trust formed in February 2004.

“Carver,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to the Company along with its consolidated subsidiaries. The Bank was chartered in 1948 and began operations in 1949 as Carver Federal Savings and Loan Association, a federally-chartered mutual savings and loan association. The Bank converted to a federal savings bank in 1986. On October 24, 1994, the Bank converted from a mutual holding company structure to stock form and issued 2,314,275 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share. On October 17, 1996, the Bank completed its reorganization into a holding company structure (the “Reorganization”) and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

In September 2003, the Company formed Carver Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds in an equivalent amount of floating rate junior subordinated debentures of the Company. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidations,” Carver Statutory Trust I is unconsolidated for financial reporting purposes.

Carver Federal’s principal business consists of attracting deposit accounts through its branches and investing those funds in mortgage loans and other investments permitted by federal savings banks. The Bank has nine branches located throughout the City of New York that primarily serve the communities in which they operate.

On February 10, 2011, Carver Federal Savings Bank and Carver Bancorp, Inc. consented to enter into Cease and Desist Orders (“Orders”) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). The OTS issued these Orders based upon its findings that the Company was operating with an inadequate level of capital for the volume, type and quality of assets held by the Company, that it was operating with an excessive level of adversely classified assets; and earnings inadequate to augment its capital. Effective July 21, 2011, supervisory authority for the Orders passed to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). No assurances can be given that the Bank and the Company will continue to comply with all provisions of the Orders. Failure to comply with these provisions could result in further regulatory actions to be taken by the regulators.

On June 29, 2011 the Company raised $55 million of capital by issuing 55,000 shares of mandatorily convertible non-voting participating preferred stock, Series C (the “Series C preferred stock”). The issuance resulted in a $51.4 million increase in equity after considering the effect of various expenses associated with the capital raise. The capital raise enabled the Company on June 30, 2011 to make a capital injection of $37 million in the Bank. In December 2011, another $7 million capital injection was made in the Bank. The remainder of the net capital raised is retained by the Company for future strategic purposes or to down-stream into the Bank, if necessary. No assurances can be given that the amount of capital raised is sufficient to absorb the expected losses in the Bank's loan portfolio. Should the losses be greater than expected, additional capital may be necessary in the future.

On October 25, 2011 Carver's stockholders voted to approve a 1-for-15 reverse stock split. A separate vote of approval was given to convert the Series C preferred stock to non-cumulative non-voting participating preferred stock, Series D (“the Series D preferred stock”) and to common stock and to exchange the Treasury Community Development Capital Initiative (“CDCI”) Series B preferred stock for common stock.

On October 27, 2011 the 1-for-15 reverse stock split was effected, which reduced the number of outstanding shares of common stock from 2,492,415 to 166,161.

On October 28, 2011 the Treasury exchanged the CDCI Series B preferred stock for 2,321,286 shares of Carver common stock and the Series C preferred stock converted into 1,208,039 shares of Carver common stock and 45,118 shares of Series D preferred stock.

Impact of Accounting Standards and Interpretations

IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncement, Early Adoption [Table Text Block]

IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires new disclosures and clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. Specifically, the update requires an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for such transfers. A reporting entity is required to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs. In addition, the update clarifies the following requirements of the existing disclosures: (i) for the purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets; and (ii) a reporting entity is required to include disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The disclosures related to the gross presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2011. The remaining disclosure requirements and clarifications made by ASU No. 2010-06 became effective for the Company on April 1, 2010. In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).” The amendments in ASU 2011-04 generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. ASU 2011-04 results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively and are effective during annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The remaining disclosure requirements and clarifications made by ASU No. 2011-04 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. Under this guidance, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. It does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. In December  2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update (ASU 2011-12) to guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income.  Under this guidance, an entity can defer the effective date of the requirement to present separate line items on the income statement for reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The deferral is temporary until the Board reconsiders the operational concerns and needs of financial statement users. The Board has not yet established a timetable for its reconsideration. The adoption of this guidance became effective for the Company in June 2012 and did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition or results of operations.

SUBSEQUENTS EVENTS

In accordance with ASC Topic 855, the Company has evaluated whether any subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto have taken place through the date these financial statements were issued. On October 29 and 30, 2012, the Company's market area experienced unprecedented damage due to Hurricane Sandy.  Although the extent of the damage and its impact on the Company cannot be determined at this time, the storm is expected to impair the ability of some borrowers to repay their loans and also adversely impact collateral values.  As a result, the Company may experience increased levels of non-performing loans and loan losses which may negatively impact earnings.

LOANS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES [Abstract]

Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block]

LOANS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

The loans receivable portfolio is segmented into One-to-Four Family, Multifamily Mortgage, Commercial Real-Estate, Construction, Business, Small Business Administration & Consumer and Other Loans.

The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”) reflects management’s judgment in the evaluation of probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. Management uses a disciplined process and methodology to calculate the ALLL each quarter. To determine the total ALLL, management estimates the reserves needed for each segment of the loan portfolio, including loans analyzed individually and loans analyzed on a pooled basis. For further details on the ALLL, please reference Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

From time to time, events or economic factors may affect the loan portfolio, causing management to provide additional amounts or release balances from the ALLL. The ALLL is sensitive to risk ratings assigned to individually evaluated loans and economic assumptions and delinquency trends. Individual loan risk ratings are evaluated based on the specific facts related to that loan. Additions to the ALLL are made by charges to the provision for loan losses. Credit exposures deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the ALLL, while recoveries of previously charged off amounts are credited to the ALLL.

The following is a summary of loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses, and loans held for sale at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

The following is a summary of non-performing loans at September 30, 2012, and March 31, 2012.

$ in thousands	September 30, 2012		March 31, 2012
Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis:
Gross loans receivable:
One-to-four family	$	6,094	$	6,988
Multifamily	1,724		2,923
Commercial real estate	14,145		24,467

Business	8,717		8,862
Consumer	15		23
Total non-accrual loans	$	34,953	$	54,588

Non-performing loans decreased to $35.0 million at September 30, 2012 from $54.6 million at March 31, 2012. The majority of the decline during the current six month period ended September 30, 2012 related to 9 non-performing loans with a fair value of $7.2 million that were moved to held for sale, 6 TDR loans with a fair value of $1.8 million that were upgraded to performing as they had performed in accordance with their modified terms for six months and one construction loan with a fair value of $5 million that was paid off.

Non-performing loans at September 30, 2012, were comprised of $9.5 million of loans 90 days or more past due and non-accruing, $8.6 million of loans that are either performing or less than 90 days past due and have been deemed to be impaired and $16.9 million of loans classified as a troubled debt restructuring and either not consistently performing in accordance with their modified terms or not performing in accordance with their modified terms for at least six months.

Non-performing loans at March 31, 2012, were comprised of $31.5 million of loans 90 days or more past due and non-accruing, $2.1 million of loans that are either performing or less than 90 days past due and have been deemed to be impaired and $21.0 million of loans classified as a troubled debt restructuring and either not consistently performing in accordance with their modified terms or not performing in accordance with their modified terms for at least six months.

At September 30, 2012, other non-performing assets totaled $28.9 million which consists of other real estate owned and held-for-sale loans.  Other real estate owned of $2.1 million reflects five foreclosed properties.

The Bank utilizes an internal loan classification system as a means of reporting problem loans within its loans categories. Loans may be classified as "Pass," “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” and “Loss.” Loans rated Pass have demonstrated satisfactory asset quality, earning history, liquidity, and other adequate margins of creditor protection. They represent a moderate credit risk and some degree of financial stability. Loans are considered collectible in full, but perhaps require greater than average amount of loan officer attention. Borrowers are capable of absorbing normal setbacks without failure. Loans rated Special Mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank's credit position at some future date. Loans rated Substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans rated Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans classified as Loss are those considered uncollectible with insignificant value and are charged-off immediately to the allowance for loan losses.

One-to-four family residential loans and consumer and other loans are rated non-performing if they are delinquent in payments ninety or more days, a troubled debt restructuring with less than six months contractual performance or past maturity. All other one- to-four family residential loans and consumer and other loans are performing loans.

As of September 30, 2012, and based on the most recent analysis performed in the current quarter, the risk category by class of loans is as follows.

Management determined the specific allowance based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when the remaining source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In those cases, the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs was used to determine the specific allowance recorded. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, all payments are applied to principal, under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, contractual interest is credited to interest income when received, under the cash basis method.

The following table presents information on impaired loans and non-performing TDR loans ($16.9 million) with the associated allowance amount, if applicable at September 30, 2012 and the interest income recognized for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 .

In certain circumstances,  loan modifications involve a troubled borrower to whom the Bank may grant a modification. Situations around modifications involving troubled borrowers may include extension of maturity date, reduction in the stated interest rate, rescheduling of future cash flows, reduction in the face amount of the debt or reduction of past accrued interest. In cases where the Bank grants any such concession to a troubled borrower, the Bank accounts for the modification as a TDR under ASC 310-40 and the related allowance under ASC 310-10-35. Loans modified in TDRs are placed on non-accrual status until the Company determines that future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrate performance according to the restructured terms for a period of at least six months.

The following table presents an analysis of those loan modifications that were classified as non performing TDRs during the three and six month period ended September 30, 2012.

In an effort to proactively manage delinquent loans, Carver has selectively extended to certain borrowers concessions such as rate reductions or forbearance agreements. For the three month period ended September 30, 2012, no loans were modified with interest rate concessions. For the six month period ended September 30, 2012, one loan of $0.5 million was modified with an interest rate concession of 1.25%. There was one modification with an interest rate concession of 5.0% made to a $0.9 million loan during the three and six month period ended September 30, 2011.

For the period ended September 30, 2012, Carver had one commercial real estate loan with an outstanding balance of $2.4 million that had been modified and subsequently defaulted within the last twelve months.

TDR's are factored into the determination of the allowance for loan losses. The Company has allocated approximately $339 thousand of the loan loss allowance at September 30, 2012 for those TDRs modified within the last three months.

For the period ended September 30, 2012 there were eleven loans in the TDR portfolio totaling $5.2 million that were on accrual status as they had performed within their modified terms for a consecutive six month period.

At September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were no loans to officers or directors of the Company.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES [Abstract]

Investment [Text Block]

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Bank utilizes mortgage-backed and other investment securities in its asset/liability management strategy. In making investment decisions, the Bank considers, among other things, its yield and interest rate objectives, its interest rate and credit risk position and its liquidity and cash flow.

Generally, the investment policy of the Bank is to invest funds among categories of investments and maturities based upon the Bank’s asset/liability management policies, investment quality, loan and deposit volume and collateral requirements, liquidity needs and performance objectives. ASC subtopic 320-942 requires that securities be classified into three categories: trading, held-to-maturity, and available-for-sale. At September 30, 2012, the Bank had no securities classified as trading. At September 30, 2012, $114.5 million, or 91.9%, of the Bank’s mortgage-backed and other investment securities, were classified as available-for-sale. The remaining $10.0 million, or 8.1%, were classified as held-to-maturity.

The following table sets forth the amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity at September 30, 2012 :

A total of 13 securities had an unrealized loss at September 30, 2012 compared to 14 at March 31, 2012. The majority of the securities in an unrealized loss position were mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Government Agency securities, asset-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities, representing 42.4%, 16.6%, 27.3% and 3.8% of total securities in an unrealized loss position that had an unrealized loss for less than 12 months at September 30, 2012. One security representing 9.9% of those securities in an unrealized loss position had an unrealized loss for more than 12 months at September 30, 2012.

Given the U.S. government's guarantees of the mortgage-backed and agency securities and U.S. Treasury Notes, there is no reason to believe that these securities will experience permanent impairment. Management believes that these unrealized losses are a direct result of the current rate environment and will recover as the economic conditions improve. On the two impaired asset-backed securities, the credit ratings from Moody's and Standard & Poor's were triple and double 'A' for the respective securities. Management believes that these securities impairments are due to interest rate cycles and will not be permanent.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, there was a Government National Mortgage Association security impaired for more than 12 months. Management believes that this security impairment is due to interest rate cycle and intends to keep the security in the portfolio for the foreseeable future. Given the Bank's ample liquidity, the bank also has the ability to hold this security in the portfolio.

Following FASB guidance, the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment, when there are credit and non-credit losses on a debt security which management does not intend to sell, and for which it is more-likely-than-not that the entity will not be required to sell the security prior to the recovery of the non-credit impairment, the portion of the total impairment that is attributable to the credit loss would be recognized in earnings, and the remaining difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value would be included in other comprehensive loss. At September 30, 2012, the Bank does not have any other securities that may be classified as having other than temporary impairment in its investment portfolio.

The following is a summary of the carrying value (amortized cost) and fair value of securities at September 30, 2012, by remaining period to contractual maturity (ignoring earlier call dates, if any).  Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain security issuers have the right to call or prepay theirobligations.  The table below does not consider the effects of possible prepayments or unscheduled repayments.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

Marketable Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Investment Securities

When purchased, investment securities are designated as either investment securities held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading.  

Securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost only if the Bank has a positive intent and ability to hold such securities to maturity.  Securities held-to-maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts using the level-yield method over the remaining period until maturity.

If not classified as held-to-maturity, securities are classified as available-for-sale based upon management's ability to sell in response to actual or anticipated changes in interest rates, resulting prepayment risk or any other factors. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value. Estimated fair values of securities are based on either published or security dealers' market value if available. If quoted or dealer prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted or dealer prices for similar securities.

Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.

The Company conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment that has an unrealized holding loss. Unrealized holding gains or losses for securities available-for-sale are excluded from earnings and reported net of deferred income taxes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and a component of the Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity. Following FASB guidance, the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment, when there are credit and non-credit losses on a debt security which management does not intend to sell, and for which it is more-likely-than-not that the entity will not be required to sell the security prior to the recovery of the non-credit impairment, the portion of the total impairment that is attributable to the credit loss would be recognized in earnings, and the remaining difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value would be included in other comprehensive loss.

During fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, no impairment charges were recorded. Gains or losses on sales of securities of all classifications are recognized based on the specific identification method.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The valuation methodology for loans held-for-sale are based upon

Finance, Loans and Leases Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable are carried at unpaid principal balances plus unamortized premiums, purchase accounting mark-to-market adjustments, certain deferred direct loan origination costs and deferred loan origination fees and discounts, less the allowance for loan losses and charge offs.

The Bank defers loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs and amortizes or accretes such amounts as an adjustment of yield over the contractual lives of the related loans using methodologies which approximate the interest method.  Premiums and discounts on loans purchased are amortized or accreted as an adjustment of yield over the contractual lives, of the related loans, adjusted for prepayments when applicable, using methodologies which approximate the interest method.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they are past due 90 days or more as to contractual obligations or when other circumstances indicate that collection is not probable.  When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest accrued but not received is reversed against interest income.  Payments received on a non-accrual loan are either applied to protection advances, the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on an assessment of the ability to collect the loan.  A non-accrual loan is restored to accrual status when principal and interest payments become less than 90 days past due and its future collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company defines an impaired loan as a loan for which it is probable, based on current information, that the lender will not collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Collateral dependent impaired loans are assessed individually to determine if the loan's current estimated fair value of the property that collateralizes the impaired loan, if any, less costs to sell the property, is less than the recorded investment in the loan. Cash flow dependent loans are assessed individually to determine if the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than the recorded investment in the loan. Smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment collectively unless they are modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Such loans primarily include one-to four family residential mortgage loans and consumer loans.

Loans and Leases Receivable, Allowance for Loan Losses Policy [Policy Text Block]

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”)

The adequacy of the Bank's ALLL is determined, in accordance with the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the “Interagency Policy Statement”) released by the OCC on December 13, 2006 and in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450 and ASC Topic 310. Compliance with the Interagency Policy Statement includes management's review of the Bank's loan portfolio, including the identification and review of situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay. In addition, management reviews the overall portfolio quality through an analysis of delinquency and non-performing loan data, estimates of the value of underlying collateral, current charge-offs and other factors that may affect the portfolio, including a review of regulatory examinations, an assessment of current and expected economic conditions and changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio are all taken into consideration.

The ALLL reflects management's evaluation of the loans presenting identified loss potential, as well as the risk inherent in various components of the portfolio. There is a great amount of judgment applied to developing the ALLL. As such, there can never be assurance that the ALLL accurately reflects the actual loss potential inherent in a loan portfolio. Any change in circumstances considered by management to develop the ALLL could necessitate a change to the ALLL, including a change to the loan portfolio, such as a decline in credit quality or an increase in potential problem loans.

Finance, Loan and Lease Receivables, Held-for-investment, Allowance and Nonperforming Loans, Allowance Policy [Policy Text Block]

General Reserve Allowance

Carver's maintenance of a general reserve allowance in accordance with ASC Topic 450 includes Carver's evaluating the risk to loss potential of homogeneous pools of loans based upon a review of nine different factors that are then applied to each pool.  The pools of loans (“Loan Type”) are:

• 1-4 Family

• Construction

• Multifamily

• Commercial Real Estate

• Business Loans

• SBA Loans

• Other (Consumer and Overdraft Accounts)

The pools are further segregated into the following risk rating classes:

• Pass

• Special Mention

• Substandard

• Doubtful

• Loss

The Bank next applies to each pool a risk factor that determines the level of general reserves for that specific pool.  The risk factors are comprised of actual losses for the most recent four quarters as a percentage of each respective Loan Type plus qualitative factors.  As the loss experience for a Loan Type increases or decreases, the level of reserves required for that particular Loan Type also increases or decreases.  Because actual loss experience may not adequately predict the level of losses inherent in a portfolio, the Bank reviews nine qualitative factors to determine if reserves should be adjusted based upon any of those factors.  As the risk ratings worsen some of the qualitative factors tend to increase.  The nine qualitative factors the Bank considers and may utilize are:

1. Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-offs, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses (Policy & Procedures).

2. Changes in relevant economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments (Economy).

3. Changes in the nature or volume of the loan portfolio and in the terms of loans (Nature & Volume).

4. Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff (Management).

5. Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified loans (Problem Assets).

6. Changes in the quality of the loan review system (Loan Review).

7. Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans (Collateral Values).

8. The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations (Concentrations).

9. The effect of other external forces such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio (External Forces).

Specific Reserve Allowance [Policy Text Block]

Specific Reserve Allowance

Carver also maintains a specific reserve allowance for criticized and classified loans individually reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310 guidelines. The amount assigned to the specific reserve allowance is individually-determined based upon the loan. The ASC Topic 310 guidelines require the use of one of three approved methods to estimate the amount to be reserved and/or charged off for such credits. The three methods are as follows:

1. The present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate;

2. The loan's observable market price; or

3. The fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The institution may choose the appropriate ASC Topic 310 measurement on a loan-by-loan basis for an individually impaired loan, except for an impaired collateral-dependent loan. Guidance requires impairment of a collateral-dependent loan to be measured using the fair value of collateral method. A loan is considered "collateral-dependent" when the repayment of the debt will be provided solely by the underlying collateral, and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment.

Criticized and Classified loans with at risk balances of $500,000 or more and loans below $500,000 that the Credit Officer deems appropriate for review, are identified and reviewed for individual evaluation for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. Carver also performs impairment analysis for all troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). If it is determined that it is probable the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, the loan is categorized as impaired.

If the loan is determined to be not impaired, it is then placed in the appropriate pool of Criticized & Classified loans to be evaluated for potential losses. Loans determined to be impaired are then evaluated to determine the measure of impairmentamount based on one of the three measurement methods noted above. If it is determined that there is an impairment amount, the Bank then determines whether the impairment amount is permanent (that is a confirmed loss), in which case the loan is written down by the amount of the impairment, or if it is other than permanent, in which case the Bank establishes a specific valuation reserve that is included in the total ALLL. In accordance with guidance, if there is no impairment amount, no reserve is established for the loan.

Loans and Leases Receivable, Troubled Debt Restructuring Policy [Policy Text Block]

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

Troubled debt restructured loans (“TDR”) are those loans whose terms have been modified because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower and a concession is made. Modifications could include extension of the terms of the loan, reduced interest rates, and forgiveness of accrued interest and/or principal. Once an obligation has been restructured because of such credit problems, it continues to be considered restructured until paid in full. For cash flow dependent loans, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the difference between the present value of estimated future cash flows under the restructured terms discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, and the loan's original carrying value. For a collateral dependent loan, the Company records an impairment when the current estimated fair value of the property that collateralizes the impaired loan, if any, is less than the recorded investment in the loan. TDR loans remain on non-accrual status until they have performed in accordance with the restructured terms for a period of at least 6 months.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [Abstract]

Financial Instruments Disclosure [Text Block]

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

According to current GAAP, disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments are required to include, in addition to the carrying value, the fair value of certain financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recorded on and off balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Accounting guidance defines financial instruments as cash, evidence of ownership of an entity, or a contract that conveys or imposes on an entity the contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument. The fair value of a financial instrument is discussed below. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values have been determined by the Bank using the best available data and estimation methodology suitable for each such category of financial instruments. For those loans and deposits with floating interest rates, it is presumed that estimated fair values generally approximate their recorded carrying value. The Bank's primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility.  Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact the Bank's fair value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which are short term in maturity. The estimated fair values and carrying values of the Bank’s financial instruments and estimation methodologies are set forth below:

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents and accrued interest receivable

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value and are classified as Level 1 because they mature in three months or less.

Restricted cash

The carrying amounts for restricted cash approximates fair value and are classified as Level 1 because they represent short term interest bearing deposits.

Securities

The fair values for securities available-for-sale, and securities held-to-maturity are based on quoted market or dealer prices, if available. If quoted market or dealer prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market or dealer prices for similar securities. Available for Sale securities are classified across Levels 1, 2 and 3. Held-to-maturity securities are classified as Level 2.

FHLB Stock

The fair value of FHLB stock approximates the carrying amount, which is at cost and is classified as Level 2.

Loans receivable

The fair value of loans receivable is estimated by discounting future cash flows, using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities of such loans. The method used to estimate the fair value of loans is extremely sensitive to the assumptions and estimates used. While management has attempted to use assumptions and estimates that best reflect the Company's loan portfolio and current market conditions, a greater degree of objectivity is inherent in these values than in those determined in active markets. The loan valuations thus determined do not necessarily represent an “exit” price that would be achieved in an active market. Loans receivable are classified as Level 3.

Loans held-for-sale

Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value and are classified as Level 2. The valuation methodology for loans held-for-sale are based upon amounts offered, appraisals or other acceptable valuation methods and, in some instances, prior loan loss experience of Carver in connection with note sales since March 31, 2011.

Accrued interest receivable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Mortgage servicing rights

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is determined by discounting the present value of estimated future servicing cash flows using current market assumptions for prepayments, servicing costs and other factors and are classified as Level 3.

Deposits

The fair value of demand, savings and club accounts is equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. These deposits are classified as Level 1. The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market.

Advances from FHLB-NY and Other borrowed money

The fair values of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and other borrowed money are estimated using the rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities and are classified as Level 2

Commitments to Extend Credits, Commercial, and Standby Letters of Credit

The fair value of the commitments to extend credit was estimated to be insignificant as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit was evaluated using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the risk characteristics of the borrower, and estimated to be insignificant as of the reporting date.

Limitations

The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no quoted market value exists for a significant portion of the Bank's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing off balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to value anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets and liabilities include premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.

Finally, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.

INCOME TAXES

The components of income tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 2012 are as follows:

$ in thousands	September 30, 2012
Federal income tax expense (benefit):
Current	$	123

Total income tax expense:	$	196

The following is a reconciliation of the expected Federal income tax rate to the consolidated effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2012:

$ in thousands	September 30, 2012
	Amount			Percent
Statutory Federal income tax	$	(103	)	34.0	%
State and local income taxes, net of Federal tax benefit	10			(3.4	)%
General business credit	(16		)	5.3	%
Valuation allowance	1,537			(506.3	)%
Adjustment to DTA due to Section 382 limitation	(1,363		)	449.1	%
Other	131			(43.1	)%
Total income tax expense	$	196		(64.2	)%

On June 29, 2011, the Company raised $55 million of equity. The capital raise triggered a change in control  under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Generally, Section 382 limits the utilization of an entity's net operating loss carry forwards, general business credits, and recognized built-in losses upon a change in ownership. The Company expects to be subject to an annual limitation of approximately $0.9 million. The Company has a net deferred tax asset (“DTA”) of approximately $27.9 million.  Based on management's calculations the Section 382 limitation has resulted in a reduction of the deferred tax asset of $4.7 million.  A full valuation allowance for the remaining net deferred tax asset of $23.2 million has been recorded.

At September 30, 2012, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal purposes of approximately $18.0 million, for state purposes of approximately $31.4 million and for city purposes of approximately $26.3 million, which are available to offset future federal, state and city income and which expire over varying periods from March 2028 through March 2032.

The Company has no uncertain tax positions.  The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to federal, New York State and New York City income taxation.  The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before March 31, 2006. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination; with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an “exit” price, representing the amount that would be received when selling an asset, or paid when transferring a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is thus a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

• Level 1— Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2— Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

• Level 3— Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s categorization within this valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents, by valuation hierarchy, assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, and that are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at these dates:

Instruments for which unobservable inputs are significant to their fair value measurement (i.e., Level 3) include mortgage servicing rights. Level 3 assets accounted for 0.1% of the Company’s total assets at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

 The Company reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes from one quarter to the next that are related to the observable inputs to a fair value measurement may result in a reclassification from one hierarchy level to another.

Below is a description of the methods and significant assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of available-for-sale securities and mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”):

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government securities and exchange-traded securities. 

If quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. These pricing models primarily use market-based or independently sourced market parameters as inputs, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, equity or debt prices, and credit spreads. In addition to market information, models also incorporate transaction details, such as maturity and cash flow assumptions. Securities valued in this manner would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy and primarily include such instruments as mortgage-related securities and corporate debt.

In the period ended September 30, 2012, there were no transfers of investments between the Level 1 and Level 2 categories.

In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. In valuing certain securities, the determination of fair value may require benchmarking to similar instruments or analyzing default and recovery rates. Quoted price information for the MSRs is not available. Therefore, MSRs are valued using market-standard models to model the specific cash flow structure. Key inputs to the model consist of principal balance of loans being serviced, servicing fees and prepayment rates.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

The following table includes a roll-forward of assets classified by the Company within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

$ in thousands	Mortgage Servicing Rights			Securities Available for Sale

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Such instruments are subject to fair value adjustments under certain circumstances (e.g. when there is evidence of impairment). The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 and that are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as these dates:

Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The valuation methodology for loans held for sale for the period ended September 30, 2012 was based upon amounts offered, appraisals or other acceptable valuation methods and, in some instances, prior loan loss experience of Carver in connection with note sales since March 31, 2011.

The fair values of collateral-dependent impaired loans are determined using various valuation techniques, including consideration of appraised values and other pertinent real estate market data.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES [Abstract]

Schedule of Variable Interest Entities [Table Text Block]

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company's subsidiary, Carver Statutory Trust I, is not consolidated with Carver Bancorp Inc. for financial reporting purposes.  Carver Statutory Trust I was formed in 2003 for the purpose of issuing $13.0 million aggregate liquidation amount of floating rate Capital Securities due September 17, 2033 (“Capital Securities”) and $0.4 million of common securities (which are the only voting securities of Carver Statutory Trust I), which are 100% owned by Carver Bancorp Inc., and using the proceeds to acquire Junior Subordinated Debentures issued by Carver Bancorp Inc.  Carver Bancorp Inc. has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Capital Securities along with all obligations of Carver Statutory Trust I under the trust agreement relating to the Capital Securities.

The Bank's subsidiary, Carver Community Development Corporation (“CCDC”), was formed to facilitate its participation in local economic development and other community-based activities. Per the NMTC Award's Allocation Agreement between the CDFI Fund and CCDC, CCDC is permitted to form and sub-allocate credits to subsidiary Community Development Entities (“CDEs”) to facilitate investments in separate development projects.

The variable interest entities (“VIEs”) such as the CDE's and Carver Statutory Trust I are consolidated, as required, where Carver has controlling financial interest in these entities and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Carver is normally deemed to have a controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary if it has both of the following characteristics:

(a) the power to direct activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entities economic performance; and

(b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could benefit from the actvities that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Bank's involvement with VIEs, consolidated and unconsolidated, in which the company holds significant variable interests or has continuing involvement through servicing a majority of assets in a VIE, is presented below:

(1) Excludes any proceeds realized from exchange of equity interest in CDEs as detailed below.

The Bank was originally awarded $59 million of NMTC. In fiscal 2008, the Bank transferred $19 million of rights to an investor in a NMTC project. The entity was called CDE-10. 

With respect to the remaining $40 million of the original NMTC award, the Bank has established various special purpose entities (CDE's 1-9,11-12) through which its investments in NMTC eligible activities are conducted.  As the Bank is exposed to all of the expected losses and residual returns from these investments, under ASC topic 810 the Bank has determined it has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary of these entities. During December 2010, Carver transferred its equity ownership in the CDEs and the associated rights to an investor in exchange for $6.7 million in cash.

As a result of Carver financing the purchase note, the CDEs continue to be consolidated and the investor's equity investment of $6.7 million was reflected as non-controlling interest in the Statement of Financial Condition. The sale of the equity interest in the CDEs provides the investor with rights to the new market tax credits on a prospective basis. A portion of non-controlling interest is transferred to the controlling interest as the investor earns the tax credits. Under the current arrangement, the Bank has a contingent obligation to reimburse the investor for any loss or shortfall incurred as a result of the NMTC project not being in compliance with certain regulations that would void the investor's ability to otherwise utilize tax credits stemming from the award.

In May 2009, the Bank received a second NMTC award in the amount of $65 million. During the period from December 2009 to December 2010, the Bank transferred rights to investors in NMTC projects (entities CDE 13-19). The Bank has a contingent obligation to reimburse the investor for any loss or shortfall incurred as a result of the NMTC project not being in compliance with certain regulations that would void the investor's ability to otherwise utilize tax credits stemming from the award.

In August 2011, the Bank received a third NMTC award in the amount of $25 million. In January 2012 and September 2012, the Bank transferred rights to investors in NMTC projects (CDE 20 and 21).  The Bank has a contingent obligation to reimburse the investor for any loss or shortfall incurred as a result of the NMTC project not being in compliance with certain regulations that would void the investor's ability to otherwise utilize tax credits stemming from the award. 

The Bank has established various special purpose entities (CDEs 22-25) through which its investments in NMTC eligible activities will be conducted. As of September 30, 2012 there have been no activities in these entities.

Investments Classified by Contractual Maturity Date [Table Text Block]

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Bank utilizes mortgage-backed and other investment securities in its asset/liability management strategy. In making investment decisions, the Bank considers, among other things, its yield and interest rate objectives, its interest rate and credit risk position and its liquidity and cash flow.

Generally, the investment policy of the Bank is to invest funds among categories of investments and maturities based upon the Bank’s asset/liability management policies, investment quality, loan and deposit volume and collateral requirements, liquidity needs and performance objectives. ASC subtopic 320-942 requires that securities be classified into three categories: trading, held-to-maturity, and available-for-sale. At September 30, 2012, the Bank had no securities classified as trading. At September 30, 2012, $114.5 million, or 91.9%, of the Bank’s mortgage-backed and other investment securities, were classified as available-for-sale. The remaining $10.0 million, or 8.1%, were classified as held-to-maturity.

A total of 13 securities had an unrealized loss at September 30, 2012 compared to 14 at March 31, 2012. The majority of the securities in an unrealized loss position were mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Government Agency securities, asset-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities, representing 42.4%, 16.6%, 27.3% and 3.8% of total securities in an unrealized loss position that had an unrealized loss for less than 12 months at September 30, 2012. One security representing 9.9% of those securities in an unrealized loss position had an unrealized loss for more than 12 months at September 30, 2012.

Given the U.S. government's guarantees of the mortgage-backed and agency securities and U.S. Treasury Notes, there is no reason to believe that these securities will experience permanent impairment. Management believes that these unrealized losses are a direct result of the current rate environment and will recover as the economic conditions improve. On the two impaired asset-backed securities, the credit ratings from Moody's and Standard & Poor's were triple and double 'A' for the respective securities. Management believes that these securities impairments are due to interest rate cycles and will not be permanent.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, there was a Government National Mortgage Association security impaired for more than 12 months. Management believes that this security impairment is due to interest rate cycle and intends to keep the security in the portfolio for the foreseeable future. Given the Bank's ample liquidity, the bank also has the ability to hold this security in the portfolio.

Following FASB guidance, the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment, when there are credit and non-credit losses on a debt security which management does not intend to sell, and for which it is more-likely-than-not that the entity will not be required to sell the security prior to the recovery of the non-credit impairment, the portion of the total impairment that is attributable to the credit loss would be recognized in earnings, and the remaining difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value would be included in other comprehensive loss. At September 30, 2012, the Bank does not have any other securities that may be classified as having other than temporary impairment in its investment portfolio.

The following is a summary of the carrying value (amortized cost) and fair value of securities at September 30, 2012, by remaining period to contractual maturity (ignoring earlier call dates, if any).  Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain security issuers have the right to call or prepay theirobligations.  The table below does not consider the effects of possible prepayments or unscheduled repayments.

COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity, Policy [Policy Text Block]

COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS

As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 29, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors announced that, based on highly uncertain economic conditions and the desire to preserve capital, Carver suspended payment of the quarterly cash dividend on its common stock. In accordance with the Orders, the Bank and Company are also prohibited from paying any dividends without prior regulatory approval, and, as such, suspended the regularly quarterly cash dividend payments on the Company's Series B preferred stock issued under the Trouble Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (“TARP CPP”) to the United States Department of Treasury (“Treasury”). There are no assurances that the payments of dividends on the common stock will resume.

Debenture interest payments which had previously been deferred in March 2011 and June 2011 on the Carver Statutory Trust I (trust preferred securities (“TruPS”) were brought current in September 2011 before the regulators precluded future payments without prior approval. These payments remain on deferral status.

On October 18, 2011 Carver received approval from the Federal Reserve Bank to pay all outstanding dividend payments (which included $192 thousand accrued during the six month period ended September 30, 2011) on the Company's Series B preferred stock issued under the TARP CPP.

On October 28, 2011 the Treasury exchanged the CDCI Series B preferred stock for 2,321,286 shares of Carver common stock and the Series C preferred stock converted into 1,208,039 shares of Carver common stock and 45,118 shares of Series D preferred stock. Series C stock was previously reported as Mezzanine equity, and upon conversion to common and Series D preferred stock is now reported as Stockholder's equity. The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends, on an as-converted basis, simultaneously to the payment of any dividends on the common stock.
