PART III
NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
 
Carver Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby represents that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 (the “3rd Quarter Form 10-Q”) by February 14, 2007, without unreasonable effort and expense due to delays resulting from the restatements described below. On February 14, 2007, the Audit Committee of the Company, upon the recommendation of management after consultation with the Company’s independent auditors KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), determined that the Company should amend the financial statements in its annual report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 (the “1st Quarter Form 10-Q”) to restate the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The restatements will not affect the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity for the affected periods. Accordingly the Company’s historical revenues, net income, earnings per share, total assets and regulatory capital remain unchanged.

The restatements result from misclassification of the cash flows related to certain mortgage loans that the Company had originated with the intent to sell that were reflected in cash flows from investing activities, rather than in cash flows from operating activities. Additionally, the Company misclassified and reported in cash flows from operating activities rather than in cash flows from investing activities cash flows from certain sales of loans that it originally intended for its portfolio. Accordingly the restatement will solely affect the classification of these activities and subtotals of cash flows from operating and investing activities presented in the affected Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and will have no impact on the net increase in total cash and cash equivalents as set forth in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for any of the previously reported periods.
