NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Carver Bancorp,
Inc. (the "Holding Company" or "Bancorp"), have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for fair presentation have been included. The unaudited
consolidated financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Holding Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended
March 31, 2002 ("2002 10-K"). The consolidated results of operations and other
data for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending
March 31, 2003 ("fiscal 2003"). The unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
Carver Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank" or "Carver Federal") and Alhambra
Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Alhambra Holding") which is inactive,
and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries, CFSB Realty Corp. and CFSB Credit
Corp. Carver Federal and the Holding Company are referred to herein collectively
as "Carver" or the "Company." All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and note
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain reclassifications have been
made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
(2) NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share includes any additional common
shares as if all potentially dilutive common shares were issued (e.g.,
convertible preferred stock). For the purpose of these calculations, unreleased
ESOP shares are not considered to be outstanding. For each of the three-month
periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, preferred dividends of $49,000 were
deducted from net income to arrive at the amount of net income available to
common stockholders. Additionally, for both the three-month periods ended June
30, 2002 and 2001, 208,333 shares of common stock potentially issuable from the
conversion of preferred stock are considered in determining the diluted net
income per common share.
(3) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 "GOODWILL AND OTHER
INTANGIBLE ASSETS" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 addresses the initial recognition and
measurement of intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other
assets not constituting a business combination. In accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 142, all goodwill and identifiable intangible assets
identified as having an indefinite useful life, including those acquired before
its effective date, will no longer be amortized but will be assessed for
impairment at least annually by applying a fair-value based test as defined in
the Statement. SFAS 142 requires that on acquired intangible assets having an
estimated useful life, be separately recognized and amortized over their
estimated useful lives. Intangible assets that remain subject to amortization
shall continue to be reviewed for impairment in accordance with previous
pronouncements.
5
Additionally, SFAS 142 requires that an initial impairment assessment
on all goodwill recognized in the consolidated financial statements be completed
within six months of the statements adoption to determine if a transition
impairment charge needs to be recognized. Management has performed the initial
impairment assessment as of March 31, 2002 and determined that no impairment
charge is warranted. The consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements
of income presented herein disclose the identifiable intangible assets that were
originally recognized separate from goodwill. Effective April 1, 2002, goodwill
will no longer be amortized; however, identifiable intangible assets will
continue to be amortized over the estimated useful lives. Amortization of
identifiable intangible assets is estimated to be $213,000 in fiscal 2003.
ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 "ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET
RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS" ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting
and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS 143 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2002. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement
will have a significant effect on the Company's earnings or financial position.
ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 "ACCOUNTING FOR THE
IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 addresses
financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
assets and resolves accounting and implementation issues related to previous
pronouncements. More specifically, it: (a) eliminates the allocation of goodwill
to long-lived assets to be tested for impairment; and (b) details both a
probability-weighted and primary asset approach to estimate cash flows in
testing for impairment of a long-lived asset. SFAS 144 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
Management does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a
significant effect on the Company's earnings or financial position.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
consisting of estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of
operations and business of the Company and the Bank that are subject to various
factors which could cause the actual results to differ materially from these
estimates. These factors include, without limitation, the Company's success in
implementing its initiatives, including its new branch opening, its ability to
achieve cost-savings associated with the Bank's branch closings, changes in
general, economic and market, legislative and regulatory conditions and the
development of an adverse interest rate environment that adversely affects the
interest rate spread or other income anticipated from the Company's operations
and investments. The Company assumes no obligation to update these forward
looking statements to reflect the actual results, changes in assumptions or
changes in other factors affecting such forward-looking statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Note 1 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2002 ("fiscal 2002") included in our 2002 10-K, as
supplemented by this report, contains a summary of our significant accounting
policies. We believe our policies with respect to the methodology for our
determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of mortgage
servicing rights and asset impairment judgments, including the recoverability of
goodwill and other than temporary declines in the value of our securities,
involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make difficult
and subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about
highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates
could cause reported results to differ materially. These critical policies and
their application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and our
Board of Directors.
GENERAL
6
Carver Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company" or "Bancorp"), a Delaware
corporation, is the holding company for Carver Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"
or "Carver Federal"), a federally chartered savings bank. At this time, the
Holding Company conducts business as a unitary savings and loan holding company
and the principal business of the Holding Company consists of the operation of
its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, which operates five full-service banking
locations in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT
JUNE 30, 2002 AND MARCH 31, 2002
ASSETS
Total assets decreased by $10.8 million to $439.0 million at June 30,
2002 compared to $449.7 million at March 31, 2002. The change was primarily
attributable to a decrease of $10.9 million in loans receivable, net, a decrease
of $9.5 million in total securities and an increase of $10.7 million in total
cash and cash equivalents.
Due to the lower interest rate environment, loan payoffs in excess of
new loans resulted a decrease of $10.9 million in loans receivable, net, during
the first three months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003 ("fiscal 2003").
Loan repayments were $29.8 million, offset in part by loan originations of $19.4
million during the period. Loan originations were concentrated in multifamily
and commercial real estate mortgage loans, which accounted for $13.4 million of
the $19.4 million originated in the quarter. The remaining originations of $6.0
million were for construction loans and one- to four-family loans. Management
anticipates moderate loan demand for the remainder of the year that should
redeploy assets from lower earning cash equivalents to higher yielding loans.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents primarily reflects the
investment of a portion of the loan and securities repayments in federal funds
sold. This temporary increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to net payoff
activity in the loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios, which is
expected to be reinvested in additional new loans and mortgage backed securities
in the second quarter.
As of April 1, 2001, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial Standards
No. 133 "ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES" ("SFAS
133") and transferred $45.7 million of mortgage-backed and investment securities
from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale. An unrecognized gain of $592,000 as
of June 30, 2002 is included in the carrying value of the mortgage-backed and
investment securities available-for-sale. The decreases in mortgage and
investment securities, adjusted for the available-for-sale adjustment in
mortgage-backed and investment securities, primarily represent maturities of $7
million and principal repayments that occurred during the first three months of
fiscal 2003 which exceeded purchases of investment securities. The net funds
received from these activities were used primarily to fund loan originations.
Office properties and equipment, net, declined $43,000 to $10.2 million
at June 30, 2002 compared to $10.3 million at March 31, 2002 due primarily to
normal depreciation on the Bank's property and equipment.
LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
LIABILITIES
At June 30, 2002, total liabilities decreased by $11.8 million, or
2.9%, to $401.2 million compared to $413.0 million at March 31, 2002. The
reduction in liabilities primarily reflects a decrease of $15.1 million in
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB-NY") and other
borrowings, offset in part by an increase of $5.1 million in deposits. The
decrease in total borrowings is primarily due to $15 million of maturing
borrowings being repaid to the FHLB-NY.
The $5.1 million increase in deposit balances is primarily attributable
to increases of $1.2 million in regular savings and club accounts, $1.1 million
in certificates of deposit, $3.4 million in NOW accounts, offset in part by a
decrease of $628,000 in money market accounts.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Total stockholders' equity increased $1.1 million, or 2.9%, to $37.8
million at June 30, 2002 compared to $36.7 million at March 31, 2002. The
increase in stockholders' equity was primarily attributable to $776,000 of
7
retained earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and an increase of
$210,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the
recognition of unrealized gains, net of taxes, relating to the transfer of
certain investment and mortgage-backed securities from the accounting
classification of held-to-maturity to available-for-sale. Investment and
mortgage-backed securities accounted for as held-to-maturity are carried at cost
while such securities designated as available-for-sale are carried at market
with an adjustment to stockholders' equity, net of taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is a measure of the Bank's ability to generate adequate cash
to meet financial obligations. The principal cash requirements of a financial
institution are to cover downward fluctuations in deposit accounts and increases
in its loan portfolio. The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits,
borrowed funds and principal and interest payments on loans, and mortgage-backed
securities and investment securities. While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities are
predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan and mortgage-backed
securities prepayments are strongly influenced by changes in general interest
rates, economic conditions and competition. During fiscal 2002, the Federal Open
Market Committee, or FOMC, reduced the federal funds rate on eight separate
occasions by a total of 325 basis points, resulting in a lower interest rate
environment compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. The increase in
loan and securities repayments was primarily the result of the increase in
mortgage loan refinance activity caused by this lower interest rate environment.
The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows present the change in cash
from operating, investing and financing activities. During the three months
ended June 30, 2002, cash and cash equivalents increased by $10.7 million. Net
cash used in operating activities during this period was $538,000, representing
primarily a decrease in other liabilities, offset by depreciation and
amortization expense, other amortization and accretion, an increase in accrued
interest receivable, and an increase in other assets. Net cash provided by
investing activities was $21.3 million, representing primarily the net proceeds
from principal payments, maturities and calls of securities available-for-sale
and held-to-maturity and principal collections on loans, offset in part by
disbursements made for the origination of loans. Net cash used in financing
activities was $10.0 million, primarily representing a reduction relating to the
repayment of FHLB-NY advances and other borrowed money, offset in part by a net
increase in deposits.
The Bank is required to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its
safe and sound operation. Management believes the Bank's short-term assets have
sufficient liquidity to cover loan demand, potential fluctuations in deposit
accounts and to meet other anticipated cash requirements. At June 30, 2002, the
Bank's liquidity ratio, which represents the average daily balance of liquid
assets as a percentage of net withdrawable deposit accounts plus short-term
borrowings was 7.86%. The Bank monitors its liquidity utilizing guidelines that
are contained in a policy developed by management of the Bank and approved by
the Bank's board of directors. The levels of the Bank's short-term liquid assets
are dependent on the Bank's operating, financing and investing activities during
any given period. The most significant liquidity challenge the Bank faces is the
variability in cash flows as a result of mortgage refinance activity. As
mortgage interest rates decline, customers' refinance activities tend to
accelerate, causing the cash flow from both the mortgage loan portfolio and the
mortgage-backed securities portfolio to accelerate. When mortgage interest rates
increase, the opposite effect tends to occur. In addition, as mortgage interest
rates decrease, customers generally tend to prefer fixed rate mortgage loan
products over variable rate products. Since the Bank generally sells its
fifteen-year and thirty-year fixed rate loan production into the secondary
mortgage market, the origination of such products for sale does not
significantly reduce the Bank's liquidity.
The Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"), the Bank's primary
federal regulator, requires that the Bank meet minimum capital requirements.
Capital adequacy is one of the most important factors used to determine the
safety and soundness of individual banks and the banking system. At June 30,
2002, the Bank exceeded all regulatory minimum capital requirements. The table
below presents certain information relating to the Bank's capital compliance at
June 30, 2002.

ANALYSIS OF EARNINGS
The Company's profitability is primarily dependent upon net interest
income, which represents the difference between income on interest-earning
assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is
dependent on the difference between the average balances and rates earned on
interest-earning assets and the average balances and rates paid on
interest-bearing liabilities. Provisions for loan losses, non-interest income,
non-interest expense and income taxes further affect net income. The earnings of
the Company are significantly affected by general economic and competitive
conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and to a lesser
extent by government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain
information relating to Carver's average interest-earning assets, average
interest-bearing liabilities, net interest income, interest rate spread and
interest rate margin. It reflects the average yield on assets and the average
cost of liabilities. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing annualized
income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities,
respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from daily or
month-end balances as available. Management does not believe that the use of
average monthly balances instead of average daily balances has caused any
material difference in information presented. The average balance of loans
includes loans on which the Company has discontinued accruing interest. The
yield and cost include fees, which are considered adjustments to yields.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001
GENERAL
The Company reported net income for the three-month period ended June
30, 2002 of $874,000 compared to net income of $1.2 million for the same period
last year. Net income available to common stockholders (after adjustment for
income reduced by dividends relating to the Company's preferred stock) was
$825,000, or $0.35 per diluted common share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.47
per diluted common share, for the corresponding period last year. For most of
fiscal year 2002, the Company was able to utilize its tax loss carryforward,
which eliminated the Company's federal tax liability. Had the Company been taxed
during fiscal 2002 at its current tax rate, net income available to common
stockholders at June 30, 2001 would have been $ 742,000, or $0.32 per diluted
common share. Income for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 includes non-recurring
other non-interest income of approximately $886,000 which represents the gain
realized on the sale of deposits of the Bank's East New York branch offset in
part by a loss of $101,000 from the sale of the Bank's $490,000 automobile loan
portfolio.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income decreased by $320,000, or 4.5%, to $6.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $7.0 million in the corresponding
prior year period. The decrease in interest income is due to a lower interest
rate environment this quarter as compared to the same period last year. The
change in total interest income was attributable to a decrease of 80 basis
points in the annualized average yield on interest-earning assets to 6.52% for
the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 7.32% for the corresponding
prior year period. This was partially offset by an increase in the average
balance of interest-earning assets of $27.5 million, or 7.2%, to $412.6 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared with $385.1 million for the
corresponding prior year period.
Interest income on loans decreased by $146,000, or 2.7%, to $5.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $5.5 million for
the corresponding prior year period. The change was primarily due to a decrease
in the annualized average yield on mortgages to 7.48% compared to 7.90% for the
three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in average yield was partially
offset by the increase in average mortgage loan balances of $7.7 million, or
2.8%, to $285.5 million for the three months period ending June 30, 2002
compared to $277.8 million for the corresponding prior year period.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased by $213,000, or
32.0%, to $879,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $666,000
for the corresponding prior year period. The change was primarily due to an
increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities of $22.9 million,
or 55.2%, to $64.5 million compared to $41.5 million, partially offset by a
decrease in the annualized average yield on mortgage-backed securities of 96
basis points to 5.45% from 6.41% from the corresponding prior year period.
Interest income on investment securities decreased by $281,000, or
41.2%, to $401,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $682,000
for the corresponding prior year period. The decline was partially due to
average investment securities decreasing by $9.6 million, or 20.9%, to $36.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $45.7 million for
the corresponding prior year period. Also contributing to the decrease in
interest on investments was a decrease in the annualized average yield of 152
basis points to 4.45% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 5.97%
for the three months ended June 30, 2001.
Interest income on federal funds sold decreased by $106,000, or 49.1%,
to $110,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $216,000 for
the corresponding prior year period. The annualized yield on federal funds sold
for the three months ended June 30, 2002 declined 267 basis points to 1.64% for
the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 4.31% for the prior year period
due to a lower short-term interest rate environment. The decrease was partially
offset by an increase in the average balance of federal funds of $6.5 million,
or 32.2%, to $26.5 million from $20.1 million for the corresponding prior year
period.
11
INTEREST EXPENSE
Total interest expense decreased by $1.0 million, or 31.0%, to $2.3
million compared to $3.4 million for the corresponding prior year period. The
change in interest expense is primarily due to the lower interest rate
environment cited above. The annualized average cost of liabilities decreased
128 basis points to 2.47% from 3.75% for the corresponding prior year period.
The decrease in interest expense was partially offset by an increase in the
average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $18.1 million, or 5.0%, to
$379.2 million from $361.1 million compared to the corresponding prior year
period.
Interest expense on deposits decreased $563,000, or 26.0%, to $1.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $2.2 million for
the prior year period. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was due
primarily to a 110 basis point decline in the rate paid on deposits to 2.04% for
the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 3.14% for the same period last
year. This was partially offset by a $39.1 million increase in the average
balance of interest-bearing deposits to $314.9 million from $275.8 million for
the corresponding prior year period.
The decrease in the cost of deposits was primarily the result of a
reduction in interest rates. However, there was a decrease in the average
balance of comparatively lower cost deposits (NOW accounts, savings and club
accounts and money market accounts), offset in part by an increase in the
average balance of comparatively higher cost certificates of deposit. The
average balance of NOW account deposits declined $514,000 to $19.7 million from
$20.2 million for the corresponding prior year period. The average balance of
savings and club accounts declined $3.6 million to $128.4 million from $132.0
million for the corresponding prior year period. The average balance of money
market accounts declined $1.6 million to $14.8 million from $16.4 million for
the prior year period. The average balance of certificates of deposit increased
$44.8 million to $152.0 million from $107.2 million for the corresponding prior
year period.
Interest expense on FHLB-NY advances and other borrowed money decreased
$486,000, or 39.8%, to $736,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002
compared $1.2 million for the corresponding prior year period. This decrease in
interest expense was primarily due to a $21.1 million, or 24.7%, decline in the
average balance of borrowed money to $64.3 million from $85.3 coupled with a
decrease of 114 basis points in the cost of borrowings to 4.59% from 5.73% for
the corresponding prior year period.
NET INTEREST INCOME BEFORE PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased by
$729,000, or 19.9%, to $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002
compared to $3.7 million for the corresponding prior year period. Total interest
income decreased by $320,000 and total interest expense decreased by $1.0
million for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
The Company's annualized interest rate spread increased by 48 basis
points to 4.05%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 3.57% for
the corresponding prior year period.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND ASSET QUALITY
The Company did not provide for any additional loan losses for the
three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $225,000 for the corresponding
prior year period. The provision for loan losses was not increased during the
current quarter due to improved credit quality and an overall reserve that the
Company believes to be adequate. During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, Carver
recorded net loan recoveries of $4,000 compared to net loan charge-offs of
$163,000 for the corresponding prior year period.
At June 30, 2002, non-performing loans totaled $1.5 million, or 0.5%
of total loans, compared to non-performing loans of $2.8 million at March 31,
2002 a decrease of $1.3 million, or 47.1%. The reduction in non-performing loans
improved the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans to
276.6% at June 30, 2002 compared to 142.3% at March 31, 2002. At June 30, 2002,
the Bank's allowance for loan losses at $4.1 million remained substantially
unchanged from March 31, 2002. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to
total loans was 1.47% compared to 1.41% at March 31, 2001.
12
Management's judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is
based on an evaluation of individual loans, the risk characteristics and size of
the loan portfolio, an assessment of current economic and real estate market
conditions, estimates of the current value of underlying collateral, past loan
loss experience, review of regulatory authority examination reports and other
relevant factors. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is
adequate under the prevailing economic conditions to absorb losses on existing
loans, which may become uncollectible. While management estimates loan losses
using the best available information, no assurance can be made that future
adjustments to the allowance will not be necessary based on changes in economic
and real estate market conditions, further information obtained regarding known
problem loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors,
both within and outside of management's control.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Total non-interest income decreased $467,000, or 32.9%, to $953,000 for
the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 compared to $1.4 million for the
corresponding period last year. The change was primarily attributable to a net
decrease in non-recurring income of $886,000 for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2002, partially offset by an increase in other non-interest income of
$445,000. The other non-interest income included non-recurring income of
$886,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, representing a gain of
$987,000 on the sale of the Bank's East New York branch offset in part by a loss
of $101,000 on the sale of the Bank's automobile loan portfolio.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Total non-interest expense increased $337,000, or 9.9%, to $3.8 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to $3.4 million for the
corresponding period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to
increases in compensation and benefits and other expenses, consisting primarily
of marketing and advertising expenses. Salaries and employee benefits increased
$243,000 to $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to $1.4
million for the corresponding period last year. The increase in compensation and
benefits is primarily attributable to the addition of a chief financial officer
and a chief operating officer as well as the use of temporary personnel to fill
vacant positions while recruiting efforts continue. Marketing and advertising
expenses increased by $70,000 to $176,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002
compared to $106,000 for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in
marketing and advertising expenses is primarily attributable to the re-launch of
the Company's brand, as well as the continuing development of its online banking
and debit card products.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
In comparison to the prior year period, the Company has fully utilized
its tax loss carryforward resulting from prior period losses and is now accruing
for federal taxes. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2002, estimated
income tax expense relating to federal, New York state and New York city was
$714,000.
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company applied a
federal tax loss carryforward resulting from prior period losses and therefore
no federal income taxes were payable for the period. The accrual for taxes of
$273,000 for the three-months ended June 30, 2001, represents an estimate of New
York State and New York City income taxes only.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk is presented
at March 31, 2002 in the Company's 2002 10-K, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company believes that there have been no
material changes in the Company's market risk at June 30, 2002 compared to March
31, 2002.
