NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Carver
Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company" or "Bancorp") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for fair presentation have been included. The unaudited consolidated
financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Holding
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2001 (the
"2001 10-K"). The consolidated results of operations and other data for the
three-months ended December 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results
that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2002 ("fiscal
2002"). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Carver Federal Savings
Bank (the "Bank" or "Carver Federal") and Alhambra Holding Corp., a Delaware
corporation ("Alhambra Holding"), and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries,
C.F.S.B. Realty Corp. and C.F.S.B. Credit Corp. Carver Federal and the Holding
Company are referred to herein collectively as "Carver" or the "Company." All
significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
(2) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share include any additional
common shares as if all potentially dilutive common shares were issued (e.g.,
convertible preferred stock). For the purpose of these calculations, unreleased
ESOP shares are not considered to be outstanding. For each of the three-month
and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, preferred dividends of
$49,000 and $148,000, respectively were deducted from net income (loss) to
arrive at the amount of net income (loss) available to common stockholders.
Additionally, for both the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31,
2000, 208,333 shares of common stock potentially issuable from the conversion of
preferred stock are antidilutive, and therefore basic income (loss) per share
was the same as fully diluted income (loss) per share.
(3) TRANSFER OF INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." As permitted by SFAS No. 133, on
April 1, 2001, Carver transferred investment securities and mortgage-backed
securities with a book value of approximately $45.7 million from the
classification of held-to-maturity to available-for-sale.

(5) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities"
- - a replacement of SFAS No. 125. SFAS No. 140 revises the standards for
accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and
collateral and requires certain additional disclosures. The collateral
provisions and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 140 are effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2000, whereas the other provisions of SFAS No.
140 are to be applied prospectively to transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The
adoption of SFAS No. 140 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations,"
and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires
that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill
and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but
instead be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets
with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful
lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of." The Holding Company has not recognized any impairment
of unamortized goodwill.
(6) RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements presented for
the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
consisting of estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of
operations and business of the Company and the Bank that are subject to various
factors which could cause the actual results to differ materially from these
estimates. These factors include, without limitation, the Company's success in
implementing its initiatives, including its new branch opening, its ability to
achieve cost-savings associated with the Bank's branch closings, changes in
general, economic and market, legislative and regulatory conditions and the
development of an adverse interest rate environment that adversely affects the
interest rate spread or other income anticipated from the Company's operations
and investments. The Company and the Bank assume no obligation to update these
forward-looking statements to reflect the actual results, changes in assumptions
or changes in other factors affecting such forward-looking statements.
GENERAL
Carver Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company" or "Bancorp"), a Delaware
corporation, is the holding company for Carver Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"
or "Carver Federal"), a federally chartered savings bank. Collectively, the
Holding Company and the Bank are referred to herein as the "Company" or
"Carver." At this time, the Holding Company conducts business as a unitary
savings and loan holding company and the principal business of the Holding
Company consists of the operation of its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank,
which operates five full service branches in the New York City boroughs of
Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND MARCH 31, 2001
ASSETS
At December 31, 2001, the Company's total assets were $449.5 million,
an increase of $25.0 million, or 5.9%, from $424.5 million at March 31, 2001.
The increase primarily reflects growth of $22.5 million in net loans receivable
and an increase of $12.8 million in investment and mortgage-backed securities
offset by a decline in federal funds sold of $18.7 million.
Loans receivable (exclusive of the allowance for loan losses) amounted
to $309.9 million at December 31, 2001 compared to $287.0 million at March 31,
2001, an increase of $22.9 million, or 8.0%. The net increase in loans
receivable during the first nine-months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002
("fiscal 2002") includes loan originations of $46.2 million and aggregate loan
purchases of $45.2 million, including the purchase of a seasoned multifamily
loan portfolio totaling $25.4 million during the latter part of the second
quarter of fiscal 2002 consisting of loans on properties located in the New York
metropolitan area. The increase in loans was partially offset by loan repayments
during the period. During the first nine months of the fiscal year ended March
31, 2001 ("fiscal 2001"), loan originations were $20.1 million and aggregate
loan purchases were $17.1 million. The following table sets forth a summary of
the Company's net loans receivable at the dates indicated (dollars in
thousands).

========= =========
Total securities amounted to $100.6 million at December 31, 2001,
compared to $87.8 million at March 31, 2001, an increase of $12.8 million, or
14.6%. As of April 1, 2001, the Bank transferred $45.7 million of
mortgage-backed and other securities from held-to-maturity to
available-for-sale. An unrecognized gain of $77,000 as of December 31, 2001 is
included in the carrying value of the mortgage-backed and other securities
available-for-sale as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The
increase in total securities primarily represents the purchase of investment and
mortgage-backed securities, offset in part by the sale of investment securities
and maturities and repayments that occurred during the first nine months of the
fiscal year.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Bank sold its automobile
loan portfolio with a book value of $490,000 for $191,000 less than the carrying
value. This portfolio was sold because of its high amount of delinquencies and
losses, as well as the associated costs of servicing the portfolio. An amount
equal to $90,000 (which represented the estimated inherent principal losses) was
charged to the allowance for loan losses, while the remaining $101,000 (which
represented other costs such as anticipated foregone interest and the cost to
service the loans) was charged as a loss on the sale of loans on the Statements
of Operations.
LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
LIABILITIES
At December 31, 2001, total liabilities increased by $21.7 million, or
5.5%, to $414.1 million, compared to $392.4 million at March 31, 2001. The
increase in liabilities primarily reflects an increase of $46.5 million, or
16.6%, in deposits offset in part by a decrease of $26.9 million, or 25.5%, in
borrowed funds. Borrowed funds totaled $78.7 million at December 31, 2001,
compared to $105.6 million at March 31, 2001. The following table sets forth a

The increase in deposits is primarily attributable to a deposit of $50
million in certificates of deposit from the State of New York which was used in
part to pay down higher cost borrowed funds, offset in part by a decrease in
deposits due to the sale of the Bank's East New York branch during the three
months ended June 30, 2001. The branch had $18.4 million in deposits at March
31, 2001. Excluding the branch sale and the State of New York deposit, deposits
would have increased by $14.9 million. The deposits sold were replaced in part
by certificates of deposit.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Stockholders' equity increased $3.3 million, or 10.2%, to $35.4 million
at December 31, 2001, compared to $32.1 million at March 31, 2001. The increase
in stockholders' equity was primarily attributable to retained earnings, all of
which relates to net income less preferred stock dividends for the nine months
ended December 31, 2001.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's liquidity management process focuses on ensuring that
sufficient funds exist to meet withdrawals by depositors, loan funding
commitments and other financial obligations and expenditures. The Company'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, loan
prepayments and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are strongly influenced
by changes in general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows present the change in cash
from operating, investing and financing activities. During the nine months ended
December 31, 2001, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $10.4 million. Net
cash provided by operating activities was $3.9 million, representing primarily
net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, accretion and
amortization relating to loans and securities, the provision for loan losses,
the net gain from the sale of the Bank's East New York branch, the net gain on
the sale of available-for-sale securities and the net changes in other assets
and liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities was $34.3 million,
representing primarily the net cash used to fund the purchase of investment and
mortgage-backed securities and the net increase in loans, offset in part by the
maturity of securities, the sale of available-for-sale securities and principal
repayments of mortgage-backed securities held to maturity. Net cash provided by
financing activities was $20.0 million, representing primarily a net increase in
deposits primarily due to a $50 million State of New York deposit, offset in
part by cash paid to fund the sale of deposits resulting from the branch sale.
Until recently, banks were required by the Office of Thrift Supervision
(the "OTS") regulations to maintain a minimum average daily balance of liquid
assets as a percentage of net withdrawable deposit accounts plus short-term
borrowings. The minimum required liquidity ratio was 4.0%. At December 31, 2001,
the Bank's liquidity ratio was 7.3%. The OTS has since eliminated this minimum
requirement. The Bank monitors its liquidity utilizing guidelines that are
contained in a policy developed by management of the Bank and approved by the
Bank's Board of Directors. The Bank was in compliance with its policy as of
December 31, 2001. The levels of the Bank's short-term liquid assets are
dependent on the Bank's operating, financing and investing activities during any
given period.
The OTS, the Bank's primary federal regulator, requires that the Bank
meet minimum capital requirements. At December 31, 2001, the Bank exceeded all
regulatory minimum capital requirements. The table below presents certain
information relating to the Bank's capital compliance at December 31, 2001
(dollars in thousands).

ASSET QUALITY
At December 31, 2001, the Bank did not have any real estate owned, but
had non-performing loans of $2.4 million, compared to real estate owned of
$476,000 and non-performing loans of $2.5 million at March 31, 2001. At December
31, 2001, non-performing assets were 0.77% of net loans receivable, compared to
1.06% of net loans receivable at March 31, 2001. At December 31, 2001, the
allowance for loan losses was $4.0 million, compared to $3.6 million at March
31, 2001. At December 31, 2001, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to
non-performing assets was 168.4% compared to 118.6% at March 31, 2001. At
December 31, 2001, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to net loans
receivable was 1.30% compared to 1.25% at March 31, 2001.
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.
While management estimates loan losses using the best available information, no
assurance can be made that future adjustments to the allowance will not be
necessary based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions,
further information obtained regarding known problem loans, identification of
additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside of
management's control.
ANALYSIS OF EARNINGS
The Company's profitability is primarily dependent upon net interest
income, which represents the difference between interest income on
interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.
Net interest income is dependent on the difference between the average balances
and rates earned on interest-earning assets and the average balances and rates
paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Provisions for loan losses, non-interest
income, non-interest expense and income taxes further affect net income. The
earnings of the Company are significantly affected by general economic and
competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and to a
lesser extent by government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, certain
information relating to Carver's average interest-earning assets, average
interest-bearing liabilities, net interest income, interest rate spread and
interest rate margin. They reflect the average yield on assets and the average
cost of liabilities. Such yields and costs 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 has caused any
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.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
2001 AND 2000
GENERAL
For the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company reported net income
of $1.7 million available to common stockholders, or $0.69 per diluted common
share, compared to a loss of $446,000, or $0.20 per diluted common share, for
the corresponding period last year. For each period the Company applied a tax
loss carryforward resulting from prior period losses and therefore no federal
taxes have been applied to earnings for each period.
The Company reported income of $2.1 million before income taxes for the
third quarter of fiscal 2002, compared to a net loss of $442,000 before income
taxes for the corresponding prior year period. Excluding the gain from the sale
of investment securities in the third quarter of 2002, income before income
taxes would have been $719,000.
The growth in income for the fiscal 2002 period, as compared to the
corresponding prior year period, was achieved as a result of a gain on sale of
investment securities, greater operating efficiencies that the Company generated
in the quarter and continued growth of loan originations. The Company's results
were also enhanced by the favorable interest rate environment.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income of $7.2 million for the three months ended December 31,
2001 was substantially unchanged from the corresponding period last year. The
yield on average interest-earning assets was 6.98% for the third quarter of
fiscal 2002, compared to 7.46% for the corresponding prior year period. The
yield for fiscal 2002 benefited from the continuation of the Company's strategy
to increase the aggregate percentage of multifamily and commercial real estate
loans receivable (which generally have higher yields than one- to four-family
residential loans) to total loans receivable. However such benefits were offset
by the effects of a declining interest rate environment during the third quarter
of fiscal 2002 compared to the corresponding prior year period which impacted
interest income as described below.
Interest income on loans receivable increased by $385,000, or 7.1%, to
$5.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $5.4
million for the corresponding prior year period. The increase primarily
reflected an improvement in the average balance of loans to $312.5 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $275.6 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2000. The increase in the average balance of
loans receivable resulted primarily from the origination and purchase of loans
which were somewhat offset by repayments. Offsetting the increased average
balance of loans was a decline in the yield to 7.42% for the three months ended
December 31, 2001 from 7.86% for the corresponding prior year period resulting
primarily from the declining interest rate environment.
Interest income on investment securities decreased by $33,000, or 4.9%,
to $635,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $668,000
for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was due to a decline in
the yield to 6.41% for the three months ended December 31, 2001, compared to
6.56% for the corresponding prior year period and a slight decline in the
average balance of investment securities to $39.6 million for the three months
ending December 31, 2001 from $40.8 million during the corresponding prior year
period.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $82,000, or
10.8%, to $678,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001, compared to
$760,000 for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was primarily due
to the decline in the yield of mortgage-backed securities to 5.50% for the three
months ended December 31, 2001 from 6.34% during the corresponding prior year
period primarily resulting from accelerated prepayments of higher yielding
mortgage-backed securities.
Interest income on federal funds sold decreased by $305,000, or 86.4%,
to $48,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 compared to $353,000 for
the corresponding prior year period. The lower interest income for the three
months ended December 31, 2001 resulted primarily from a decline in the average
balances of federal funds sold from $21.8 million to $8.9 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2001, coupled with a
13
decrease in average return to 2.15% for the three months ended December 31, 2001
from 6.48% for the corresponding prior year period.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense declined $786,000, or 21.0%, for the three months
ended December 31, 2001 to $3.0 million, compared to $3.7 million for the
corresponding period last year. The decrease in interest expense was due
primarily to a decline in the average cost of deposits and interest-bearing
liabilities to 3.00% for the three months ended December 31, 2001 from 4.02% for
the corresponding period last year. This decline reflects the lower interest
rate environment in fiscal 2002. This decline was partially offset by a slight
increase in the average balance of deposits and interest-bearing liabilities
from $372.9 million to $394.6 million for the three months ended December 31,
2001.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was $2.1 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2001, substantially unchanged from the
corresponding period last year. The rate paid on interest-bearing deposits
declined to 2.62% from 3.18% during the corresponding period last year, which
was partially offset by a $52.1 million increase in the average balance of
deposits to $322.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 from
$270.1 million for the corresponding period last year. The increase in the
average balance of deposits was attributable to an increase in the average
balance of comparatively higher cost certificates of deposit, which was
partially offset by a reduction in the aggregate average balance of
comparatively low cost deposits (demand deposits, NOW accounts, money market
accounts and savings and club accounts).
Interest expense on borrowed money decreased $754,000, or 47.1%, to
$847,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $1.6 million
for the corresponding prior year period. This decrease in interest expense was
primarily due to a decline in the average balance of borrowed money to $72.4
million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 from $102.8 million for the
corresponding prior year period, coupled with a decline in the rate paid for
these funds to 4.68% for the three months ended December 31, 2001 from 6.23%
during the corresponding prior year period.
NET INTEREST INCOME BEFORE PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Net interest income before the provision for loan losses amounted to
$4.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001, an increase of
$751,000, or 21.8%, from the corresponding period last year. While net interest
income benefited from a general interest rate decline, this benefit was
partially offset by accelerated prepayments of mortgage-backed securities and
the sale of lower cost deposits in non-strategic branches, which were replaced
by comparatively higher cost certificates of deposit. Net interest margin grew
to 4.10% for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 from 3.58% for the third quarter
of fiscal 2001. The Company's annualized interest rate spread increased by 54
basis points to 3.98% for the three months ended December 31, 2001 compared to
the corresponding prior year period.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses, which is predicated upon the Company's
assessment of the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses, amounted to
$225,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $450,000 for
the corresponding period last year. The 50.0% decrease in the provision for loan
losses was primarily attributable to an improvement in credit quality. During
the third quarter of fiscal 2002, Carver recorded net charge-offs of $104,000
compared to net charge-offs of $364,000 for the corresponding period last year.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income was $2.0 million for the three-month period ended
December 31, 2001, compared to $498,000 for the corresponding period last year.
During the three months ended December 31, 2001, Carver sold $25.0 million of
fixed-rate investment securities and reinvested a substantial portion of the
proceeds in adjustable rate agency mortgage-backed securities, resulting in a
gain from the sale of investment securities of $1.4 million. Excluding the
non-recurring gain, non-interest income was $577,000 for the three-month period
ended December 31,
14
2001. Excluding the non-recurring gain, non-interest income represented 12.1% of
revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income, excluding the
non-recurring gain) for the third quarter of fiscal year 2002, compared with
12.6% for the corresponding prior year period.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense decreased $106,000, or 2.7%, to $3.8 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 2001, compared to $3.9 million for the
corresponding period last year. The decrease in non-interest expense is due in
part to cost reductions as a result of branch sales and decreased professional
fees and FDIC premium.
INCOME TAXES (BENEFITS)
For each period presented, the Company applied a federal tax loss carry
forward resulting from prior period losses and therefore no federal income taxes
have been applied to income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2001
nor the corresponding prior year period. The income tax expense of $402,000 and
benefit of $45,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, represent New York State and New York City income taxes only.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
2001 AND 2000
GENERAL
For the nine months ended December 31, 2001 the Company reported net
income of $3.2 million available to common stockholders, or $1.35 per diluted
common share, compared to a loss of $115,000, or $0.05 per diluted common share,
for the corresponding period last year. For each period the Company applied a
tax loss carryforward resulting from prior period losses and therefore no
federal taxes have been applied to earnings for either period. The results for
the nine months ended December 31, 2001 include non-recurring income of $2.3
million, representing the gain on the sale of investment securities of $1.4
million, the gain realized on the sale of the Bank's East New York branch of
$987,000, offset by a loss of $101,000 in connection with the sale of the Bank's
automobile loan portfolio. The nine months ended December 31, 2000 included
non-recurring income of $1.0 million, representing the gains realized on the
sale of the Bank's Roosevelt and Chelsea branches. Excluding the non-recurring
items, the Company would have recorded income of $1.9 million before income
taxes for the first nine months of the fiscal 2002, compared to a net loss of
$823,000 for the corresponding period last year.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income of $21.2 million for the nine-month period ended
December 31, 2001 was substantially unchanged compared to the corresponding
prior year period. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 7.16% for
the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to 7.35% for the first nine months
of fiscal 2001.
Interest income on loans receivable increased by $956,000, or 6.0%, to
$16.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $16.0
million for the corresponding prior year period. The increase reflected a $20.2
million, or 7.3%, increase in the average balance of loans receivable to $296.7
million for the nine months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $276.5 million
for the nine months ended December 31, 2000. The increase in the average balance
of loans receivable resulted primarily from the origination and purchase of
loans.
Interest income on investment securities decreased by $268,000, or
12.2%, to $1.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2001, compared to
$2.2 million for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was primarily
due to the decline in the average balance of investment securities to $39.2
million for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 from $42.6 million in the
corresponding prior year period. The decrease in the average balance of
investment securities was primarily attributable to the reallocation of funds
from maturing investment securities to the origination and purchase of loans.
15
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $372,000, or
15.9%, to $2.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2001, compared to
$2.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was primarily
due to a decline in the yield to 5.87% for the nine months ended December 31,
2001 from 6.20% for the corresponding prior year period, coupled with a decline
in average balances of mortgage-backed securities to $44.8 million from $50.5
million for the corresponding prior year period primarily resulting from
accelerated prepayments of mortgage-backed securities as a result of the lower
interest rate environment in fiscal 2002. The Bank reallocated the funds from
such principal and interest prepayments on mortgage-backed securities to the
origination and purchase of loans.
Interest income on federal funds sold decreased by $442,000, or 53.1%,
to $389,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $831,000
for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease primarily reflected a
decline in the yield to 3.48% for the nine months ended December 31, 2001,
compared to 6.12% for the corresponding prior year period, coupled with a
decline in average balances of federal funds sold to $15 million from $18
million in the corresponding prior year period.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 9.9%, to $9.6 million for
the nine months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $10.6 million for the
corresponding prior year period. The decrease in interest expense was due
primarily to a 40 basis point decline in the annualized cost of deposits and
interest-bearing liabilities to 3.37%, compared to 3.77% for the corresponding
period last year, slightly offset by an increase in the average balance of
deposits and interest-bearing liabilities to $379.1 million from $376.0 million.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits increased $130,000, or
2.1%, to $6.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2001, compared to
$6.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. Although the Company
benefited from the lower interest rate environment that resulted in the rates
paid on interest-bearing deposits declining to 2.87% for the nine months ended
December 31, 2001 from 3.03% during the corresponding period last year, interest
expense on interest-bearing deposits increased primarily due to an increase in
the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $298.8 million for the first
nine months of fiscal 2002 from $276.5 million in the corresponding prior year
period. The decline in the aggregate average balance of comparatively low cost
deposits (demand deposits, NOW accounts, money market accounts and savings and
club accounts) was more than offset by an increase in the average balance of
comparatively higher cost certificates of deposit. The average balance of
certificates of deposit was $127.5 million, or 42.7% of average total deposits,
for the first nine months of fiscal 2002, up from $91.0 million, or 32.9% of
average total deposits, for the first nine months of fiscal 2001.
Interest expense on borrowed money decreased $1.2 million, or 27.3%, to
$3.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $4.3
million for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease in interest
expense was due to a decline in the average balance of borrowed money to $80.3
million from $99.4 million and a decrease in the rate paid for these funds to
5.24% from 5.82%.
NET INTEREST INCOME BEFORE PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Net interest income before provision for loan losses amounted to $11.7
million for the nine months ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $930,000, or
8.7%, compared to $10.7 million for the corresponding prior year period. The
annualized net interest margin improved by 24 basis points to 3.93% for the nine
months ended December 31, 2001 compared to the corresponding prior year period,
while the Company's annualized interest rate spread increased by 21 basis points
to 3.79%.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses amounted to $675,000 for the nine-month
period ended December 31, 2001 compared to $1.3 million for the corresponding
period last year. The 49.7% decrease in the provision was primarily attributable
to an improvement in credit quality. Net charge-offs were $262,000 for the nine
months ended
16
December 31, 2001 (including a charge-off of $90,000 in connection with the sale
of auto loans), compared to $978,000 for the corresponding period last year.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income was $3.9 million for the nine-month period
ended December 31, 2001, compared to $2.4 million for the corresponding period
last year. For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2001 excluding
non-recurring items, non-interest income increased $157,000, or 11.0%, to $1.6
million, compared to $1.4 million for the corresponding period last year.
Excluding the non-recurring gain, non-interest income represented 12.0% of the
revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income, excluding the
non-recurring gain) for the nine-month period ending December 31, 2001, compared
with 11.8% for the corresponding prior year period.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense decreased $943,000, or 8.1%, to $10.7 million
for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2001, compared to $11.6 million for
the corresponding period last year. The decrease in non-interest expense was
attributable in part to cost reductions as a result of branch sales and
decreased professional fees and FDIC premium.
INCOME TAXES
For each period presented, the Company applied a federal tax loss
carry forward resulting from prior period losses and therefore no federal income
taxes have been applied to income for the nine months ended December 31, 2001
nor the corresponding prior year period. The taxes of $790,000 and $157,000 for
the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, represent New
York State and New York City income taxes only.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk is presented
at March 31, 2001 in the Company's Annual Report of Form 10-K (the "2001 10-K"),
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company
believes that there have been no material changes in the Company's market risk
at December 31, 2001 compared to March 31, 2001.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Disclosure regarding legal proceedings that the Company is a party to
is presented on Carver's 2001 10-K, as filed with the SEC. Except as set forth
below, there have been no material changes with regard to such legal proceedings
since the filing of the 2001 10-K.
Carver remains a defendant in the district court for the District of
Columbia in an action by Ralph Williams against the National Credit Union
Administration ("NCUA") and several other banks (Carver and such banks, the
"Bank Defendants") alleging that the NCUA acted improperly when it placed
Northwestern Conference Federal Credit Union ("Northwestern"), of which Williams
was a former board member, into conservatorship and subsequent liquidation.
While the bulk of plaintiff Williams' complaints relate to the action of the
NCUA board, Williams alleges that the Bank Defendants "collaborated with the
NCUA Board" in violating unspecified constitutional and privacy rights.
Plaintiff Janice Pressley, former treasurer of Northwestern, later filed a pro
se action (the "Pressley action") against the same defendants alleging
substantially similar complaints. The Bank Defendants have moved to dismiss both
complaints. On September 20, 2001, the court granted the motion to dismiss the
Pressley Action. Ms. Pressley appealed the judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia Circuit in November 2001. In January 2002, the NCUA
filed a motion for summary affirmance of the lower court's judgment and the Bank
Defendants have also moved for summary affirmance by adopting the motion filed
by the NCUA.
17
On or about December 28, 2000, plaintiff Thomas L. Clark ("Clark"), the
former President and CEO of Carver, filed suit against Carver Federal and
certain individual defendants in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
County of New York (the "Clark Action"). Clark claims that the defendants should
be forced to obtain approval from the OTS to pay severance benefits that Clark
believes Carver owes him under an employment agreement. Clark seeks injunctive
relief and asserts claims for breach of contract, equitable estoppel and
estoppel by contract. On or about March 30, 2001, the defendants moved to
dismiss the complaint in its entirety. By decision and order entered November
27, 2001, the Court granted that motion to the extent of dismissing the first
cause of action for breach of contract against all of the individual defendants,
and dismissing the second cause of action based on the estoppel theories as
against all defendants. Carver Federal has answered that portion of the
complaint that survives and intends to vigorously defend against the remaining
breach of contract claim.
Certain other claims, suits, complaints and investigations involving
the Company, arising in the ordinary course of business, have been filed or are
pending. The Company is of the opinion, after discussion with legal counsel
representing the Company in these proceedings, that the aggregate liability or
loss, if any, arising from the ultimate disposition of these matters would not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position
or results of operations.
