LOANS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

The loans receivable portfolio is segmented into one-to-four family, multifamily, commercial real estate, construction, business (including Small Business Administration loans), and consumer 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.

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, gross of allowance for loan losses, and net of loans held-for-sale at September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016:

The following is a summary of nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016.



$ in thousands	September 30, 2016		March 31, 2016
Gross loans receivable:
One-to-four family	$	3,211	$	2,947
Multifamily	1,610		$	1,769
Commercial real estate	1,015		$	5,338
Business	2,725		$	3,896
Total nonaccrual loans	$	8,561	$	13,950

Nonaccrual loans generally consist of loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued as a result of such loans becoming 90 days or more delinquent as to principal and/or interest payments. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recorded when received based upon the collectability of the loan. Nonaccrual loans decreased $5.4 million, or 38.6%, to $8.6 million at September 30, 2016 from $14.0 million at March 31, 2016, primarily due to the transfer of one commercial real estate loan into the Bank's held-for-sale loan portfolio. The transferred loan, with a carrying value of $3.4 million, was subsequently sold at par value on July 7, 2016. TDR loans consist of loans where borrowers have been granted concessions in regards to the terms of their loans due to financial or other difficulties, which rendered them unable to repay their loans under the original contractual terms. Total TDR loans at September 30, 2016 were $7.7 million, $1.5 million of which were non-performing as they were 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 March 31, 2016, total TDR loans were $7.8 million, of which $2.2 million were non-performing.

At September 30, 2016, other non-performing assets totaled $2.3 million which consisted of other real estate owned and held-for-sale loans. At September 30, 2016, other real estate owned valued at $1.3 million comprised of eight foreclosed properties which includes $1 million of residential properties, compared to $1.0 million comprised of seven properties, which included $718 thousand of residential properties at March 31, 2016. At September 30, 2016, non performing held-for-sale loans totaled $1.0 million, compared to $2.5 million at March 31, 2016. At September 30, 2016, Carver had 15 loans secured by one-to-four family residential real estate in the process of foreclosure for a total outstanding balance of $3.3 million.

Although we believe that substantially all risk elements at September 30, 2016 have been disclosed, it is possible that for a variety of reasons, including economic conditions, certain borrowers may be unable to comply with the contractual repayment terms on certain real estate and commercial loans.

The Bank utilizes an internal loan classification system as a means of reporting problem loans within its loan 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, 2016, the risk category by class of loans is as follows:

In certain circumstances, the Bank will modify a loan as part of a troubled debt restructure ("TDR") under ASC Subtopic 310-40 and the related allowance under ASC Subtopic 310-10-35. Situations around these modifications 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. Loans modified in TDRs are placed on nonaccrual 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. There were no TDR modifications made during the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2016.

The following table presents an analysis of those loan modifications that were classified as TDRs during the three and six month period ended September 30, 2015.

In an effort to proactively resolve delinquent loans, Carver has selectively extended to certain borrowers concessions such as extensions, rate reductions or forbearance agreements. For the periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no modified loans that subsequently defaulted within the last 12 months.

At September 30, 2016, there were 14 loans in the TDR portfolio totaling $6.3 million that were on accrual status as the Company has determined that future collection of the principal and interest is reasonably assured. These have generally performed according to restructured terms for a period of at least six months. At March 31, 2016, there were 11 loans in the performing TDR portfolio totaling $5.6 million.

Transactions With Certain Related Persons

Federal law requires that all loans or extensions of credit to executive officers and directors must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with the general public and must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Loans to our current directors, principal officers, nominees for election as directors, security holders known by us to own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock, or associates of such persons (together, “related persons”), are made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to Carver Federal, and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

The aggregate amount of loans outstanding to related parties was $3.6 million at September 30, 2016 and $4.4 million at March 31, 2016. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, advances totaled $614 thousand and principal repayments totaled $1.4 million. These loans were made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to Carver Federal, and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

Furthermore, loans above the greater of $25,000, or 5% of Carver Federal’s capital and surplus (up to $500,000), to Carver Federal’s directors and executive officers must be approved in advance by a majority of the disinterested members of Carver Federal’s Board of Directors.
