State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 
 
 

Carver Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") could not complete the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2016 (the "Form 10-Q") due to delays in obtaining and compiling information to be included in its Form 10-Q, which delay could not be eliminated by the Company without unreasonable effort and expense. Specifically, in connection with the completion of the Company's quarter-end closing and review procedures and the preparation of the Form 10-Q, the Company determined that accounting adjustments related to a limited pool of loans serviced by a third party were necessary. The Company is evaluating the impact of these accounting adjustments on prior financial statements, if any. The Company expects to file the Form 10-Q no later than five calendar days after its original due date.
