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.

The General Allowance for Pass rated loans and Criticized and Classified loans is determined in accordance with ASC Topic 450 whereby management evaluates the risk of loss potential of pools of loans which are segmented by loan type and then by risk rating. The loan types include; i) One-to-Four family mortgages, ii) Multifamily, iii) Commercial Real Estate, iv) Construction, v) Business, vi) Small Business Administration, and vii) Consumer and other loans.

To determine the balance of the ALLL, management evaluates the risk of potential loss to these pools of pass rated or criticized and classified loans, which are risk rated special mention, substandard or doubtful. This analysis is based upon a review of 10 different factors that are then applied to the pools of loans. The first factor utilized is actual historical loss experience by loan type expressed as a percentage of the average outstanding of all loans within the loan type over the prior four quarters. Because actual loss experience alone may not adequately predict the level of losses embedded in a portfolio, management also reviews nine qualitative factors to determine if reserves should be increased based upon any of those factors. These nine factors are reviewed and analyzed for each loan type and each risk rating. The lower the credit quality, the greater the risk for potential loss.

The Specific Allowance for Classified loans is determined in accordance with ASC Topic 310 which is the primary basis for individually determining if a loan is impaired, and if impaired, valuing the impairment amount of specific loans whose collectability is questionable. The standard requires the use of one of the following three approved methods to estimate the amount to be reserved and/or charged off: i) the present value of expected future cash flow discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, ii) the loan’s observable market price, or iii) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Classified loans with at risk balances of $1 million or more are identified and reviewed for individual evaluation for impairment. Carver also performs an impairment analysis on 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 impaired. If the loan is determined not to be impaired, it is then placed in the appropriate pool of Classified loans to be evaluated for potential losses. The impaired loans 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, in which case the loan balance is written down, or if it is other than permanent, the Bank establishes a specific valuation reserve that is included in the total ALLL. Also, in accordance with guidance, if there is no impairment amount, no reserve is established for the loan.

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 non-performing loans at September 30, and March 31, 2011 (in thousands).



	September 30, 2011		March 31, 2011
Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis:
Gross loans receivable:
One- to four-family	$	14,335	$	15,993
Multifamily	9,106		6,786
Commercial real estate	16,088		10,078

Total non-accrual loans	$	78,922	$	77,406

Non-performing loans decreased to $78.9 million at September 30, 2011. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, 17 non-performing loans with a net book value of $32.3 million and a fair market value of $26.7 million were moved to Held for Sale. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, 2 non-performing loans with a net book value of $2.6 million and a fair market value of $1.5 million were moved to Held for Sale.

Non-performing loans at September 30, 2011, were comprised of $59.4 million of loans 90 days or more past due and non-accruing, $4.0 million of loans that are either performing or less than 90 days past due and have been deemed to be impaired and $15.6 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, 2011, were comprised of $48.8 million of loans 90 days or more past due and non-accruing, $4.9 million of loans that are either performing or less than 90 days past due and have been deemed to be impaired and $23.8 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.

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 a 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 and loans past maturity. All other One-to-Four Family Residential Loans and Consumer and Other Loans are performing loans.

As of September 30, 2011, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category by class of loans is as follows (in thousands):

⁽¹⁾ Consists of loans which are less than 90 days past due but impaired due to other risk characteristics.
⁽²⁾ $23.7 million have not performed in accordance with their modified terms for more than six months and are considered non performing. Currently they are represented in the following TDR categories:
$17.4 million loans are non accrual as they are not performing in accordance with their modified terms
$5.8 million are 30-59 days past due.
$0.5 million loans are 60-89 days past due.
⁽³⁾ Includes $0.4 million TDR loan that has performed in accordance with its modified terms for at least six months and is considered performing.
⁽⁴⁾ There were no loans that are 90 days or more past due as to interest and principal and still accruing at March 31, 2011.

The following table presents the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans and TDR loans ($15.6 million) with the associated allowance amount, if applicable. 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.

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, 2011 (in thousands)

In an effort to proactively manage delinquent loans, Carver has selectively extended to certain borrowers concessions such as rate reductions or forbearance agreements. At September 20, 2011, loan on which concessions were made with respect to rate reductions were $1.7 million and those loans which reached forbearance agreements totaled $2.2 million.

For the twelve month period ended September 30, 2011, Carver did not have any loans that had been modified and subsequently defaulted.

TDR's are factored into the determination of the allowance for loan losses. The Company has allocated approximately $141,000 of the loan loss allowance at September 30, 2011 for those TDRs modified within the last six months.
