BORROWED MONEY

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 $203.0 million at March 31, 2021. 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. The Bank had no outstanding advances from the FHLB-NY at March 31, 2021. At March 31, 2021, the Bank's collateral included its investment in FHLB-NY capital stock totaling $552 thousand, and a blanket assignment of pledged qualifying mortgage loans of $42.8 million and mortgage-backed and investment securities with a market value of $9.0 million. The Bank has sufficient collateral at the FHLB-NY to be able to borrow $42.7 million from the FHLB-NY at March 31, 2021.

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. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company applied for and was granted regulatory approval to settle all outstanding debenture interest payments through September 2016. Such payments totaling $2.5 million were made in September 2016. Interest on the debentures has been deferred beginning with the December 2016 payment, per the terms of the agreement, which permit such deferral for up to twenty consecutive quarters, as the Company is prohibited from making payments without prior regulatory approval. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company applied for and was granted regulatory approval to settle all outstanding debenture interest payments through June 2021. Full payment was made on June 16, 2021.

The accrued interest payable on subordinated debt securities was $3.1 million and the interest expense was $562 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2021. The accrued interest payable on subordinated debt securities was $2.5 million and the interest expense was $815 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2020.

Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF). The Federal Reserve established the PPPLF to support the PPP program by extending credit to eligible financial institutions that originate PPP loans, taking the loans as collateral at face value. The interest rate on PPPLF advances is fixed at 0.35% and the maturity date is equal to the maturity date of the PPP loans pledged to secure the extension of credit. The accrued interest payable on PPPLF advances was $73 thousand and the interest expense was $85 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2021.
