Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. As a member of the FHLB-NY, the Bank may have outstanding FHLB-NY borrowings in a combination of term advances and overnight funds of up to 30% of its total assets, or approximately $204.0 million at March 31, 2015. Borrowings are secured by the Bank's investment in FHLB-NY stock and by a blanket security agreement. This agreement requires the Bank to maintain as collateral certain qualifying assets (principally mortgage loans and securities) not otherwise pledged. At March 31, 2015, advances were secured by pledges of the Bank's investment in the capital stock of the FHLB-NY totaling $3.5 million and a blanket assignment of the Bank's pledged qualifying mortgage loans of $58.4 million and mortgage-backed and investment securities with a market value of $42.2 million. The Bank has sufficient collateral at the FHLB-NY to be able to borrow an additional $6.1 million from the FHLB-NY at March 31, 2015. The accrued interest payable on FHLB advances was $34 thousand and the interest expense was $541 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2014, the accrued interest payable on FHLB advances was $32 thousand and the interest expense was $603 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2014. The Bank completed a debt restructuring during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 that allowed it to prepay a $25.0 million long-term borrowing and secure a new borrowing at a significantly lower rate. The termination fees and penalties associated with the borrowing were prepaid to the FHLB and amortized over five years.

Subordinated Debt Securities. On September 17, 2003, Carver Statutory Trust I issued 13,000 shares, liquidation amount $1,000 per share, of floating rate capital securities.  Gross proceeds from the sale of these trust preferred debt securities of $13 million, and proceeds from the sale of the trust's common securities of $0.4 million, were used to purchase approximately $13.4 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's floating rate junior subordinated debt securities due 2033.  The trust preferred debt securities are redeemable at par quarterly at the option of the Company beginning on or after September 17, 2008, and have a mandatory redemption date of September 17, 2033. Cash distributions on the trust preferred debt securities are cumulative and payable at a floating rate per annum resetting quarterly with a margin of 3.05% over the three-month LIBOR. Under the Orders, the Company is prohibited from paying dividends without prior regulatory approval. Therefore the Company has deferred the debenture interest payments.

On September 30, 2009, the Bank raised $5.0 million in a private placement of subordinated debt maturing December 30, 2018. The interest rate was set at 7% per annum for the first seven years as long as there is no default event, including Carver maintaining its certification as a Community Development Entity (“CDE”) and remaining in compliance with NMTC requirements, and 12% per annum after. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, the interest rate was reduced to 2%. This subordinated debt has been approved by the regulators to qualify as Tier II capital for the Bank's regulatory capital calculations. Qualifying term subordinated debt must have an original weighted average maturity of at least five years. Once the term to maturity is less than five years, the amount qualified as Tier II capital declines 20% per year.

The accrued interest payable on subordinated debt securities was $1.6 million and the interest expense was $549 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2015. The accrued interest payable on subordinated debt securities was $1.2 million and the interest expense was $552 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2014.
