PVF CAPITAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2007 and 2006
(Unaudited)
1. The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. All information in the consolidated interim financial statements is unaudited except for the June 30, 2006 consolidated statement of financial condition, which was derived from the Corporation’s audited financial statements. Certain information required for a complete presentation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the interim financial information. The results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending June 30, 2007. The results of operations for PVF Capital Corp. (“PVF” or the “Company”) for the periods being reported have been derived primarily from the results of operations of Park View Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”). PVF Capital Corp.’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ SMALL-CAP ISSUES under the symbol PVFC.
Stock Compensation: Employee compensation expense under stock options is reported using the fair value recognition provisions under FASB Statement 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123R), “Share Based Payment.” The Company has adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective method. Under this method, compensation expense is being recognized for the unvested portion of previously issued awards that remained outstanding as of July 1, 2005 and for any future awards. Prior interim periods and fiscal year results were not restated. For the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, compensation expense of $45,153 and $34,285, respectively, was recognized in the income statement related to the vesting of previously issued awards. For the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, compensation expense of $186,655 and $185,845, respectively, was recognized in the income statement related to the vesting of previously issued awards plus vesting of new awards. For the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, income tax benefits of $17,787 and $21,887, respectively, were recognized related to these expenses.
As of March 31, 2007, there was $398,663 of compensation expense related to unvested awards not yet recognized in the financial statements. The weighted-average period over which this expense is to be recognized is 3.8 years.
The Company can issue incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options under the 1996 Plan and the 2000 Plan. Generally, for incentive stock options, one-fifth of the options awarded become exercisable on the date of grant and on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. The option period expires ten years from the date of grant, except for awards to individuals who own more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding stock. Awards to these individuals expire after five years from the date of grant.

The weighted average fair value of these grants was $2.83 in the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and $3.69 in the nine months ended March 31, 2006. The expected average risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the life of the option. The expected average life represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules, historical exercise and forfeiture patterns. Expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The expected dividend yield is based on historical information.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108. This SAB expresses the SEC’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. Management has not yet determined the impact of adoption of this Bulletin.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 07, 08, 106 and 132(R)”. SFAS No. 158 requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare and other postretirement plans in their financial statements. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 1
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In July 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of FASB issued a draft abstract for EITF Issue No. 06-04, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangement”. This draft abstract from EITF reached a consensus that for an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of this Issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions”. The Task Force concluded that a liability for the benefit obligation under SFAS No. 106 has not been settled through the purchase of an endorsement type life insurance policy. In September 2006, FASB agreed to ratify the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 06-04. This new accounting standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of EITF Issue No. 06-04 to have a material effect on the financial statements as the Company has no endorsement split dollar arrangements.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of SFAS No. 140”, which changes the accounting for all loan servicing rights which are recorded as the result of selling a loan where the seller undertakes an obligation to service the loan, usually in exchange for compensation. SFAS No. 156 amends current accounting guidance by permitting the servicing right to be recorded initially at fair value and also permits the subsequent reporting of these assets at fair value. SFAS No. 156 is effective beginning July 1, 2007. Management does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”, an amendment of SFAS Nos. 133 and 140. This Statement changes the accounting for various derivatives and securitized financial assets. This Statement will be effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event occurring after July 1, 2007. Management does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 1
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument by instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability. Subsequent changes in fair value must be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not expect that the adoption of this standard on July 1, 2008 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following analysis discusses changes in financial condition and results of operations at and for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2007 for PVF Capital Corp. (“PVF” or the “Company”), Park View Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”), its principal and wholly-owned subsidiary, PVF Service Corporation (“PVFSC”), a wholly-owned real estate subsidiary, Mid Pines Land Co., a wholly-owned real estate subsidiary, PVF Holdings, Inc., PVF Community Development and PVF Mortgage Corporation, three wholly-owned and currently inactive subsidiaries.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used in this Form 10-Q, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions in the Company’s market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company’s market area, and competition that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.
The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the results of any revisions, which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
During the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007, the Company experienced a soft local real estate market that resulted in a decline in loans receivable. The Company generally seeks to fund loan activity and liquidity by generating deposits through its branch network and through the utilization of short-term borrowings. During the period, the Company used deposit growth, repayments of loans receivable, and proceeds from subordinated debentures to repay short-term Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”) advances, repay a line of credit, increase its investment in bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) and for other operational cash needs.
In addition, the Company continued the origination of fixed-rate single-family loans for sale in the secondary market. The origination and sale of

Page 10

Part I Financial Information
Item 2
fixed-rate loans has historically generated gains on sale and allowed the Company to increase its investment in loans serviced.
Consolidated assets of PVF were $907.6 million as of March 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $1.5 million, or 0.2%, as compared to June 30, 2006. The Bank remained in regulatory capital compliance for tier one core capital, tier one risk-based capital, and total risk-based capital with capital levels of 9.57%, 12.23% and 12.76%, respectively, at March 31, 2007.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2007, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, which consist of cash, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold, increased $6.0 million, or 30.4%, as compared to June 30, 2006. The change in the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold consisted of increases in cash and fed funds of $6.2 million and a decrease in interest-bearing deposits of $0.2 million.
Loans receivable, net, decreased by $6.3 million, or 0.9%, during the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in loans receivable included decreases in construction loans, single-family mortgage loans and equity line of credit loans offset by increases in commercial real estate loans, multi-family loans and non-real estate loans. Residential construction and sales activity has slowed in the markets served by the Bank, resulting in decreasing balances for these loan types. The Bank has been able to grow commercial real estate and non-real estate loans by aggressively marketing to this segment of the market.
Following is a breakdown of loans receivable at March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006:
                 
    March 31,     June 30,  
    2007     2006

    30,159,568       21,824,041  
 
           
Total loans receivable
    737,508,229       744,121,306

    (3,303,948 )     (3,381,630 )
Allowance for loan losses
    (4,458,732 )     (4,674,681 )
 
           
Loans receivable, net
  $ 729,745,550     $ 736,064,995  
 
           
The decrease of $1.3 million in loans receivable held for sale is the result of timing differences between the origination and the sale of loans. The decrease of $0.9 million in mortgage-backed securities is the result of the purchase of $1.6 million in mortgage-backed securities offset by principal payments received during the nine-month period.
The increase of $0.5 million in real estate owned is the result of the addition of three single-family properties and one vacant parcel of land totaling $1.2 million offset by the disposal of three single-family properties and two vacant parcels of land totaling $0.7 million.

Part I Financial Information
Item 2
The increase of $5.6 million, or 34.3%, in BOLI is the result of the Bank increasing its investment by $5.0 million along with an increase to the cash surrender value of the investment. Management views investments in BOLI to be an attractive way to deploy funds due to the tax-advantaged treatment of income on the policies.
Deposits increased by $10.2 million as the result of marketing efforts to promote savings products and management’s decision to offer competitive savings rates. Subordinated debentures increased by $10.0 million as the Company formed a trust that issued $10.0 million in trust preferred securities. The Company issued subordinated debt to the trust in exchange for the proceeds of the trust preferred securities. The Company used $6.0 million of the proceeds to increase its investment in Park View Federal Savings Bank and the balance was retained for other operational needs. The line of credit balance decreased by $1.5 million due to management’s decision to repay a portion of the balance. Advances decreased by $18.0 million as a result of the repayment of short-term borrowings from the FHLB. The decrease in advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $2.7 million is attributable to timing differences between the collection and payment of taxes and insurance. The increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1.1 million is primarily the result of timing differences between the collection and remittance of payments received on loans serviced for investors.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS   Three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to three months ended March 31, 2006.
PVF’s net income is dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on its loans and investments and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is determined by (i) the difference between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (“interest-rate spread”) and (ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s interest-rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. Net interest income also includes amortization of loan origination fees, net of origination costs.
PVF’s net income is also affected by the generation of non-interest income, which primarily consists of loan servicing income, service fees on deposit accounts, and gains on the sale of loans held for sale. In addition, net income is affected by the level of operating expenses and loan loss provisions.
The Company’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $1,177,400 as compared to $1,266,900 for the prior year comparable period. This represents a decrease of $89,500, or 7.1%, when compared with the prior year comparable period.
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased by $972,300, or 14.0%, as compared to the prior year comparable period. This resulted from an increase of $1,709,300, or 23.1%, in interest expense

Item 2
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS continued
offset by an increase of $737,000, or 5.1%, in interest income. The decrease in net interest income was attributable to a decline of 58 basis points in the interest-rate spread for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the prior year comparable period partially offset by balance sheet growth in both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in interest-rate spread resulted from margin compression attributable to a flat yield curve.
The following table presents comparative information for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 about average balances and average yields and costs for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS continued
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, a recovery in the provision for loan losses of $1,000 was recorded, while a provision for loan losses of $352,000 was recorded in the prior year comparable period. The provision for loan losses for the current period reflects changes management made to the analysis of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses in response to the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses issued late in 2006 and management’s judgments about the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio. The purpose of the changes in methodology was to instill a disciplined, rigorous process for evaluating and accruing for specific loan loss situations while eliminating a pool-based approach to evaluating losses for classified loans. In management’s judgment, the pool-based approach resulted in an undesirable degree of imprecision in the loan loss estimation process. Under the revised approach management is evaluating individual non-performing loans for probable losses based on a systematic approach involving estimating the realizable value of the underlying collateral. Additionally, for pools of performing loans segregated by collateral type, management is applying a prudent loss factor based on our historical loss experience, adjusted for our subjective evaluation of the current environment. A provision for loan losses is recorded when necessary to bring the allowance to a level consistent with this analysis. Management believes it uses the best information available to make a determination as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, management applied the rigorous approach described above and determined that certain adversely classified loans were adequately collateralized. Based on this conclusion, management reversed amounts previously provided for loan losses, resulting in a slight recovery in the provision for loan losses for the period. In the prior year comparable period, the pool-based approach described above was applied and a substantial provision was made for loan losses based on an increase in classified loans.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, non-interest income increased by $449,700, or 84.1%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted from an increase of $198,000 in mortgage banking activities, an increase in earnings on the cash surrender value of BOLI of $117,200, an increase in other net of $101,800, and an increase of $32,700 in service and other fees.
The increase in other, net is primarily attributable to the decrease in the write-off of an investment in an affordable housing project. This investment is being written-off over the period during which the Bank is expected to receive federal income tax credits related to an investment in an affordable housing project. This investment is written-off on an effective yield method and will be written off in its entirety by December 31, 2007. The increase in service and other fees is primarily the result of an increase in loan late charge fee income.
The increase of $198,000 in mortgage banking activities resulted primarily from an increase in profit on loan sales of $166,200. During these periods, the Company pursued a strategy of originating long-term, fixed-rate loans pursuant to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) and Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) guidelines and selling such loans to the FHLMC or the FNMA, while retaining the servicing.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $5,100, or 0.1%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted from an increase in compensation and benefits of $141,400, and an increase in office occupancy and equipment of $27,400, substantially offset by a decrease in other non-interest expense of $163,700.
The decrease in other non-interest expense was primarily the result of decreases in outside services and stationery, printing and supplies expenses and advertising. In addition, compensation and benefits increased due to salary and wage adjustments.
The federal income tax provision for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 decreased to an effective rate of 28.5% for the current period from an effective rate of 30.5% for the prior year comparable period. The decrease in the effective rate in the current period is attributable to an increase in income on BOLI.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS   Nine months ended March 31, 2007, compared to nine months ended March 31, 2006.
The Company’s net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 was $3,877,100 as compared to $3,645,700 for the prior year comparable period. This represents an increase of $231,400, or 6.3%, when compared with the prior year comparable period.
Net interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 decreased by $1,144,700, or 5.7%, as compared to the prior year comparable period. This resulted from an increase of $5,984,300, or 14.9%, in interest income and an increase of $7,129,000, or 35.4%, in interest expense. The decrease in net interest income was attributable to a decline of 38 basis points in the interest-rate spread for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the prior year comparable period partially offset by balance sheet growth in both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in interest-rate spread resulted from margin compression attributable to a flat yield curve and a soft local real estate market.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, a provision for loan losses of $91,000 was recorded, while a provision for loan losses of $646,300 was recorded in the prior year comparable period.

Non-accrual loans include all loans classified as doubtful or loss, and loans greater than 90 days past due. Payments received on a non-accrual loan are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on an assessment of the collectibility of the principal balance of the loan.
 
(2)   Other non-performing assets represent property acquired by the Bank through foreclosure or repossession.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS continued
The levels of non-accruing loans at June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2007 are attributable to poor current local and economic conditions. Increasing interest rates have also negatively impacted our borrowers’ ability to make scheduled loan payments. Due to an increase in foreclosure activity in the area, the foreclosure process in Cuyahoga County, our primary market, has become elongated. As such, loans have remained past due for considerable periods prior to being collected, transferred to Real Estate Owned, or charged off.
Of the $14.7 million of non-accruing loans at March 31, 2007, $10.7 million was individually identified as impaired. All of these loans are collateralized by various forms of nonresidential real estate or residential construction. These loans were reviewed for the likelihood of full collection based primarily on the value of the underlying collateral, and, to the extent we believed collection of loan principal was in doubt, we established specific loss reserves. Our evaluation of the underlying collateral included a consideration of the potential impact of erosion in real estate values due to poor local economic conditions and a potentially long foreclosure process. This consideration involves obtaining an updated valuation of the underlying real estate collateral and estimating carrying and disposition costs to arrive at an estimate of the net realizable value of the collateral. Through our evaluation of the underlying collateral, we determined that despite difficult conditions, these loans are generally well secured. Through this process, we established specific loss reserves related to these loans outstanding at March 31, 2007 of $539,000. At June 30, 2006, our approach to estimating losses on impaired loans differed somewhat. At that time, we applied a loss factor to pools of adversely classified loans. Specific loss reserves were established only to the extent that they were deemed necessary in addition to the pool-based loss allocation. Under this approach, we established a pool-based reserve of $722,267 for impaired loans as of June 30, 2006 and additional specific reserves of $180,000. As mentioned above, the pool-based approach applied at June 30, 2006 resulted in an undesirable lack of precision so we have adopted a more rigorous approach to identifying specific losses.
The remaining balance of non-performing loans represents homogeneous one-to-four family loans. These loans are also subject to the rigorous process for evaluating and accruing for specific loan loss situations described above. Through this process, we established specific loan loss reserves of $169,000 for these loans as of March 31, 2007. As discussed above, our approach to estimating losses on these loans differed somewhat at June 30, 2006. At that time, we applied a loss factor to pools of adversely classified loans. Specific loss reserves were established only to the extent that they were deemed necessary in addition to the pool-based loss allocation. Under this approach, we established a pool-based reserve of $679,740 for non-performing one-to-four family loans as of June 30, 2006 and additional specific reserves of $78,953.
In the most recent quarter of the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007, management applied the rigorous approach described above and determined that certain adversely classified loans were adequately collateralized. Based on this conclusion, management reversed amounts previously provided for loan

losses, resulting in a smaller provision for loan losses compared to the prior year comparable period. In the prior year period, the pool-based approach described above was applied and a substantial provision was made for loan losses based on an increase in classified loans.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, non-interest income increased by $1,098,600, or 58.6%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted from an increase in mortgage banking activities of $469,300, other, net of $305,900, service and other fees of $166,600, and in the cash surrender value of BOLI of $156,800.
The increase in other, net is primarily attributable to a gain on the sale of real estate owned. The increase in service and other fees is primarily the result of an increase in NOW account fee income.
The increase of $469,300 in mortgage banking activities resulted from a $494,000 positive change in the fair value of the contracts the Bank uses to manage interest rate risk in the mortgage origination pipeline, a reversal of a market value adjustment for loans held for sale of $156,000 and an increase of $76,800 in net servicing income, offset by a decrease in profit on loan sales of $257,500. During these periods, the Bank pursued a strategy of originating long-term, fixed-rate loans pursuant to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) and Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) guidelines and selling such loans to the FHLMC or the FNMA, while retaining the servicing.
Non-interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $143,700, or 0.9%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted from increases in compensation and benefits of $204,200, other non-interest expense of $196,400, and a decrease in office occupancy and equipment of $256,900.
The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily the result of increases in advertising, outside services, real estate owned and franchise tax expense. The decrease in office occupancy and equipment was attributable to a decrease in the cost of furniture and equipment in the current period. The federal income tax provision for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007 increased to an effective rate of 30.2% for the current period from an effective rate of 29.8% for the prior year comparable period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s liquidity measures its ability to generate adequate amounts of funds to meet its cash needs. Adequate liquidity guarantees that sufficient funds are available to meet deposit withdrawals, fund loan commitments, purchase securities, maintain adequate reserve requirements, pay operating expenses, provide funds for debt service, pay dividends to stockholders and meet other general commitments in a cost-effective manner. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans, repurchase agreements, and advances from the FHLB. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and local competition.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. Additional sources of funds include lines of credit available from the FHLB.
Management believes the Company maintains sufficient liquidity to meet current operational needs.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Risk management is essential in operating a financial services company effectively and successfully. Risks inherent in the financial services industry include credit, operational, interest rate, market and liquidity risk. Credit risk involves the risk of uncollectible due amounts on loans. Operational risk is the risk of fraud, legal and compliance issues, processing errors, technology and disaster recovery, and breaches in business continuation and internal controls. Changes in interest rates affecting net interest income are interest rate risk. Market risk is the risk that a financial institution’s earnings and capital are adversely affected by movements in market rates and prices. The inability to fund obligations due to investors, borrowers and depositors is liquidity risk. The primary risks are credit risk and market risk.
During the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2007, competitive local market demand for deposits has resulted in an increase to the Bank’s cost of funds, while the yield on interest-earning assets has not increased at the same rate, resulting in a decrease in interest-rate spread. This compression of interest-rate spread is a function of the current, unusual shape of the yield curve. Currently short-term market interest rates are actually higher than long-term market interest rates. Our strategy in this environment is to keep the maturities of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities short. Our efforts are focused on mitigating the impact of the shape of the yield curve on our interest-rate spread.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. It should be noted that the design of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain reasonable assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no reasonable assurance that any design of disclosure controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote, but the Company’s principal executive and financial officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at a reasonable assurance level.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (to the extent that elements of internal control over financial reporting are subsumed within disclosure controls and procedures) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the above paragraph that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Upon the expiration of the twelve (12) month period, Executive shall have the option of continuing health insurance coverage at his/her own expense for a period not less than the number of months by which the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) continuation period exceeds twelve (12) months.

Male Its: Chairman of the Board PARK VIEW FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK By: /s/ Stanley T. Jaros -------------------------------------- Stanley T. Jaros Its: Chairman of the Compensation Committee Accepted and agreed to this 29th day of January, 2001, by the undersigned Executive. EXECUTIVE /s/ John R. Male -------------------------------------- John R. Male 2 SEVERANCE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT WHEREAS, PVF Capital Corp. (the "Corporation"), Park View Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), and John R. Male (the "Executive") previously entered into a Severance Agreement, originally effective as of October 26, 1999 (the "Agreement"); and WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement to update the benefits provided to the Executive and to provide the Executive with certain tax indemnification in the event of a change in control of the Corporation and the Bank; and WHEREAS, Section 13 of the Agreement provides for its amendment by means of a written instrument signed by the parties. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement as follows: FIRST CHANGE Section 6(a) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: (a) Upon the Executive's termination as a result of one of the events specified in this Paragraph 6, the Bank or Corporation shall pay to Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, a sum equal to three (3) times the Executive's annual compensation. For purposes of this paragraph, "annual compensation" shall be defined as the Executive's then current base salary plus annual incentive compensation for the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the above-mentioned event occurs. Such payment shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the Executive's date of termination. The amount payable to the Executive hereunder shall not be reduced for the time value of money or discounted to present value. SECOND CHANGE The following shall be added as Section 20 of the Agreement: 20. TAX INDEMNIFICATION (a) For purposes of this Agreement, "Covered Benefits" shall mean any payment or benefit paid or provided to the Executive by the Bank, the Corporation or any affiliate or successor in interest (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) that, in the opinion of Tax Counsel (as defined below), might reasonably be expected to be subject to any excise tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). In the event that the Executive shall receive Covered Benefits, the Corporation shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment"), so that the net amount retained by the Executive from the Gross-Up Payment, after deduction of any federal, state and local income taxes, Excise Tax, and FICA and Medicare withholding taxes on the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Excise Tax on the Covered Benefits. For purposes of determining the amount of the Excise Tax on the Covered Benefits, the amount of the Covered Benefits that shall be taken into account in calculating the Excise Tax shall be equal to (i) the Covered Benefits, less (ii) the amount of such Covered Benefits that, in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive ("Tax Counsel"), are not parachute payments (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code). (b) For purposes of this Section 20, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is payable and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive's residence on the effective date of the Executive's termination, net of the reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. Except as otherwise provided herein, all determinations required to be made under this Section 20 shall be made by Tax Counsel, which determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Executive, the Bank and the Corporation, absent manifest error. (c) The Corporation shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless from losses, costs and expenses which the Executive incurs as a result of any administrative or judicial review of the Executive's liability under Section 4999 of the Code by the Internal Revenue Service or any comparable state agency, through and including a final judicial determination or final administrative settlement of any dispute arising out of the Executive's liability for the Excise Tax or otherwise relating to the classification for purposes of Section 280G of the Code of any of the Covered Benefits or other payment or benefit in the nature of compensation made or provided to the Executive by the Corporation. The Executive shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing whenever the Executive receives notice of the commencement of any judicial or administrative proceeding in which the federal tax treatment under Section 4999 of the Code of any amount paid or payable under this Agreement or otherwise is being reviewed or is in dispute (including a notice of audit or other inquiry concerning the reporting of the Executive's liability under Section 4999). The Corporation may assume control at its expense over all legal and accounting matters pertaining to such federal or state tax treatment of the Covered Benefits or any payment or benefit in the nature of compensation made or provided to the Executive by 2 the Corporation, and the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Corporation in any such proceeding. The Executive shall not enter into any compromise or settlement or otherwise prejudice any rights the Corporation may have in connection therewith without the prior consent of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation elects not to assume control over such matters, the Corporation shall promptly reimburse the Executive for all expenses related thereto as and when incurred, upon presentation of appropriate documentation relating to such expenses. The parties hereby ratify the above changes and certify that, in all other respects, the existing terms and provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank and the Corporation have caused this Amendment to the Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers, and the Executive has signed this Amendment, on the 30th day of April, 2007.

Male Its: Chairman of the Board PARK VIEW FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK By: /s/ Stanley T. Jaros -------------------------------------- Stanley T. Jaros Its: Chairman of the Compensation Committee Accepted and agreed to this 30th day of January, 2001, by the undersigned Executive. EXECUTIVE /s/ C. Keith Swaney -------------------------------------- C. Keith Swaney 2 SEVERANCE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT WHEREAS, PVF Capital Corp. (the "Corporation"), Park View Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), and C. Keith Swaney (the "Executive") previously entered into a Severance Agreement, originally effective as of October 26, 1999 (the "Agreement"); and WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement to update the benefits provided to the Executive and to provide the Executive with certain tax indemnification in the event of a change in control of the Corporation and the Bank; and WHEREAS, Section 13 of the Agreement provides for its amendment by means of a written instrument signed by the parties. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement as follows: FIRST CHANGE Section 6(a) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: (c) Upon the Executive's termination as a result of one of the events specified in this Paragraph 6, the Bank or Corporation shall pay to Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, a sum equal to three (3) times the Executive's annual compensation. For purposes of this paragraph, "annual compensation" shall be defined as the Executive's then current base salary plus annual incentive compensation for the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the above-mentioned event occurs. Such payment shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the Executive's date of termination. The amount payable to the Executive hereunder shall not be reduced for the time value of money or discounted to present value. SECOND CHANGE The following shall be added as Section 20 of the Agreement: 20. TAX INDEMNIFICATION (a) For purposes of this Agreement, "Covered Benefits" shall mean any payment or benefit paid or provided to the Executive by the Bank, the Corporation or any affiliate or successor in interest (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) that, in the opinion of Tax Counsel (as defined below), might reasonably be expected to be subject to any excise tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). In the event that the Executive shall receive Covered Benefits, the Corporation shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment"), so that the net amount retained by the Executive from the Gross-Up Payment, after deduction of any federal, state and local income taxes, Excise Tax, and FICA and Medicare withholding taxes on the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Excise Tax on the Covered Benefits. For purposes of determining the amount of the Excise Tax on the Covered Benefits, the amount of the Covered Benefits that shall be taken into account in calculating the Excise Tax shall be equal to (i) the Covered Benefits, less (ii) the amount of such Covered Benefits that, in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive ("Tax Counsel"), are not parachute payments (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code). (b) For purposes of this Section 20, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is payable and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive's residence on the effective date of the Executive's termination, net of the reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. Except as otherwise provided herein, all determinations required to be made under this Section 20 shall be made by Tax Counsel, which determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Executive, the Bank and the Corporation, absent manifest error. (c) The Corporation shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless from losses, costs and expenses which the Executive incurs as a result of any administrative or judicial review of the Executive's liability under Section 4999 of the Code by the Internal Revenue Service or any comparable state agency, through and including a final judicial determination or final administrative settlement of any dispute arising out of the Executive's liability for the Excise Tax or otherwise relating to the classification for purposes of Section 280G of the Code of any of the Covered Benefits or other payment or benefit in the nature of compensation made or provided to the Executive by the Corporation. The Executive shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing whenever the Executive receives notice of the commencement of any judicial or administrative proceeding in which the federal tax treatment under Section 4999 of the Code of any amount paid or payable under this Agreement or otherwise is being reviewed or is in dispute (including a notice of audit or other inquiry concerning the reporting of the Executive's liability under Section 4999). The Corporation may assume control at its expense over all legal and accounting matters pertaining to such federal or state tax treatment of the Covered Benefits or any payment or benefit in the nature of compensation made or provided to the Executive by 2 the Corporation, and the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Corporation in any such proceeding. The Executive shall not enter into any compromise or settlement or otherwise prejudice any rights the Corporation may have in connection therewith without the prior consent of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation elects not to assume control over such matters, the Corporation shall promptly reimburse the Executive for all expenses related thereto as and when incurred, upon presentation of appropriate documentation relating to such expenses. The parties hereby ratify the above changes and certify that, in all other respects, the existing terms and provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank and the Corporation have caused this Amendment to the Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers, and the Executive has signed this Amendment, on the 30th day of April, 2007.

Male Its: Chairman of the Board PARK VIEW FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK By: /s/ Stanley T. Jaros -------------------------------------- Stanley T. Jaros Its: Chairman of the Compensation Committee Accepted and agreed to this 29th day of January, 2001, by the undersigned Executive. EXECUTIVE /s/ Jeffrey N. Male -------------------------------------- Jeffrey N. Male 2 SEVERANCE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT WHEREAS, PVF Capital Corp. (the "Corporation"), Park View Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), and Jeffrey N. Male (the "Executive") previously entered into a Severance Agreement, originally effective as of October 26, 1999 (the "Agreement"); and WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement to update the benefits provided to the Executive and to provide the Executive with certain tax indemnification in the event of a change in control of the Corporation and the Bank; and WHEREAS, Section 13 of the Agreement provides for its amendment by means of a written instrument signed by the parties. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement as follows: FIRST CHANGE Section 6(a) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: (b) Upon the Executive's termination as a result of one of the events specified in this Paragraph 6, the Bank or Corporation shall pay to Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, a sum equal to three (3) times the Executive's annual compensation. For purposes of this paragraph, "annual compensation" shall be defined as the Executive's then current base salary plus annual incentive compensation for the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the above-mentioned event occurs. Such payment shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the Executive's date of termination. The amount payable to the Executive hereunder shall not be reduced for the time value of money or discounted to present value. SECOND CHANGE The following shall be added as Section 20 of the Agreement: 20. TAX INDEMNIFICATION (a) For purposes of this Agreement, "Covered Benefits" shall mean any payment or benefit paid or provided to the Executive by the Bank, the Corporation or any affiliate or successor in interest (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) that, in the opinion of Tax Counsel (as defined below), might reasonably be expected to be subject to any excise tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). In the event that the Executive shall receive Covered Benefits, the Corporation shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment"), so that the net amount retained by the Executive from the Gross-Up Payment, after deduction of any federal, state and local income taxes, Excise Tax, and FICA and Medicare withholding taxes on the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Excise Tax on the Covered Benefits. For purposes of determining the amount of the Excise Tax on the Covered Benefits, the amount of the Covered Benefits that shall be taken into account in calculating the Excise Tax shall be equal to (i) the Covered Benefits, less (ii) the amount of such Covered Benefits that, in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive ("Tax Counsel"), are not parachute payments (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code). (b) For purposes of this Section 20, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Excise Tax is payable and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive's residence on the effective date of the Executive's termination, net of the reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. Except as otherwise provided herein, all determinations required to be made under this Section 20 shall be made by Tax Counsel, which determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Executive, the Bank and the Corporation, absent manifest error. (c) The Corporation shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless from losses, costs and expenses which the Executive incurs as a result of any administrative or judicial review of the Executive's liability under Section 4999 of the Code by the Internal Revenue Service or any comparable state agency, through and including a final judicial determination or final administrative settlement of any dispute arising out of the Executive's liability for the Excise Tax or otherwise relating to the classification for purposes of Section 280G of the Code of any of the Covered Benefits or other payment or benefit in the nature of compensation made or provided to the Executive by the Corporation. The Executive shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing whenever the Executive receives notice of the commencement of any judicial or administrative proceeding in which the federal tax treatment under Section 4999 of the Code of any amount paid or payable under this Agreement or otherwise is being reviewed or is in dispute (including a notice of audit or other inquiry concerning the reporting of the Executive's liability under Section 4999). The Corporation may assume control at its expense over all legal and accounting matters pertaining to such federal or state tax treatment of the Covered Benefits or any payment or benefit in the nature of compensation made or provided to the Executive by 2 the Corporation, and the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Corporation in any such proceeding. The Executive shall not enter into any compromise or settlement or otherwise prejudice any rights the Corporation may have in connection therewith without the prior consent of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation elects not to assume control over such matters, the Corporation shall promptly reimburse the Executive for all expenses related thereto as and when incurred, upon presentation of appropriate documentation relating to such expenses. The parties hereby ratify the above changes and certify that, in all other respects, the existing terms and provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank and the Corporation have caused this Amendment to the Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers, and the Executive has signed this Amendment, on the 30th day of April, 2007.
