PVF CAPITAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended
September 30, 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, 2007 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 three months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending June 30, 2008. 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.
2. 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 September 30, 2007 and 2006, compensation expense of $32,036 and $31,067, respectively, was recognized in the income statement related to the vesting of previously issued awards. No income tax benefit was recognized related to this expense.
As of September 30, 2007, there was $347,707 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 3.3 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.

5.   Uncertain Income Tax Positions:
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) as of July 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial statements. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax. The company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2002. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matter in income tax expense. The Company did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at July 1, 2007.
6.   Adoption of New Accounting Standards:
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” an amendment of SFAS No. 133 and 140. This Statement changes the accounting for various derivatives and securitized financial assets. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event occurring after July 1, 2007. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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

Part I Financial Information
Item 1
the seller undertakes an obligation to service the loan, usually in exchange for compensation. SFAS No. 156 amends current accounting guidance by requiring 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 became effective for the Company as of July 1, 2007. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
7.   Effect of Newly Issued but Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards:
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 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 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 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Agreement. The consummation of the merger is subject to several closing conditions and obtaining regulatory approval and approval of the Company’s and United Community’s shareholders.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
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 short-term Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”) advances, and cash and cash equivalents to fund an increase in loans and to fund an outflow in deposits and advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance.
In addition, the Company continued the origination of fixed-rate single-family loans for sale in the secondary market. The origination and sale of 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 $887.8 million as of September 30, 2007, a decrease of approximately $13.0 million, or 1.4%, as compared to June 30, 2007. 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 9.98%, 12.68% and 13.21%, respectively, at September 30, 2007.
During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, which consist of cash, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold, decreased $14.9 million, or 52.3%, as compared to June 30, 2007. The change in the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold consisted of a decrease in cash of $16.3 million and increases in fed funds and interest-bearing deposits of $1.4 million.
Loans receivable, net, increased by $8.4 million, or 1.2%, during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in loans receivable included increases in construction loans, land loans, equity line of credit loans, non-real estate loans and home equity lines of credit partially offset by decreases in single-family mortgage loans, commercial real estate loans, and multi-family loans. Residential loan activity has slowed in the markets served by the Bank, resulting in decreased balances for these loan types. The Bank has been able to grow construction loans by aggressively marketing to this segment of the market.

Loans receivable, net
  $ 721,738,582     $ 713,328,818  
 
           
The decrease of $7.2 million in loans receivable held for sale is the result of timing differences between the origination and the sale of loans. The decrease of $0.7 million in mortgage-backed securities is the result of principal payments received during the three-month period.
The increase of $0.5 million in real estate owned is the result of the addition of five single-family properties totaling $1.0 million offset by the disposal of four single-family properties totaling $0.5 million.
     Deposits decreased by $21.8 million, or 3.3%, as the result of management’s decision not to aggressively compete with market savings rates. The line of credit balance increased by $0.8 million due to borrowings for operational needs. Advances increased by $10.0 million as a result of management’s decision to borrow at attractive short-term rates rather than compete aggressively for deposits. 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 $1.9 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 September 30, 2007, compared to three months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2007 was $611,100 as compared to $1,563,100 for the prior year comparable period. This represents a decrease of $952,000, or 60.9%, when compared with the prior year comparable period.
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by $936,100, or 13.8%, as compared to the prior year comparable period. This resulted from a decrease of $418,000, or 2.7%, in interest income along with an increase of $518,100, or 5.8%, in interest expense. The decrease in net interest income was attributable to a decline of 42 basis points in the interest-rate spread for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year comparable period along with a decrease 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS continued
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, a provision for loan losses of $593,400 was recorded, while in the prior year comparable period a recovery in the provision for loan losses of $160,000 was recorded. The provision for loan losses for the current period reflects management’s judgments about the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio. Management’s approach includes 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.
The following table provides statistical measures of non-performing assets:

(1)   Non-accrual status denotes loans on which, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is unlikely, or loans that meet the non-accrual criteria established by regulatory authorities. 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.

Item 2
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS continued
The levels of non-accruing loans at June 30, 2007 and September 30, 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 $16.9 million and $13.7 million non-accruing loans at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, $9.4 million and $8.4 million, respectively, were individually identified as impaired. All of these loans are collateralized by various forms of non-residential 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 September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007 of $696,710 and $627,220, respectively.
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 $334,509 and $263,205 for these loans as of September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively.
The current period provision for loan losses reflects the increase in specific loan loss reserves described above as well as charge-offs recorded during the current period for which no reserves were previously established.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, non-interest income increased by $3,400, or 0.4%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted from an increase of $41,000 in service and other fees, and an increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) of $106,800, offset by decreases of $95,400 in other net, and $49,000 in mortgage banking activities.
The increase in service and other fees is primarily the result of NOW account fee income. The decrease in other, net is primarily the result of losses on the sale of real estate owned.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS continued
The decrease of $49,000 in mortgage banking activities resulted primarily from a smaller recovery of market adjustments for loans held for sale and a slightly negative change in the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives in the current period compared to a significant positive change in the fair value in the comparable prior year period. 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 September 30, 2007 decreased by $184,500, or 3.4%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted from a decrease in compensation and benefits of $160,300, and a decrease in office occupancy and equipment of $59,900, partially offset by an increase in other non-interest expense of $35,700. The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily the result of increases in real estate owned expense.
The federal income tax provision for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 represented an effective rate of 21.2% for the current period compared to an effective rate of 31.4% for the prior year comparable period. The decrease in the effective rate in the current period is attributable to an increase proportion of pre-tax consisting of an increase in the cash surrender value of BOLI.
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 amounts due 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-month period ended September 30, 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. For much of the current period, short-term market interest rates were 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. This evaluation included consideration of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that the Company reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007. We disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K that to improve the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls, management is in the process of designing and implementing and continuing to enhance controls to aid in the correct preparation, review, presentation and disclosures of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management is continuing to monitor, evaluate and test the operating effectiveness of these controls. Until those controls have been determined to be operating effectively, we cannot conclude that disclosure controls and procedures are effective. 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.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES continued
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13a-15 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 except as set forth below. In its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company disclosed a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related in part to three loan relationships individually identified as impaired where specific reserves were warranted but were not recorded at the time of the closing of the financial statements. These misstatements were not corrected until the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm proposed the corrections as part of their audit, which constituted a weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007. The Company believes the weakness was attributable to the volume of loans at the time that were impaired and that required management’s attention. In order to remediate this material weakness management has dedicated resources to ensure that loan loss accruals are accurate and supported by verifiable data.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 (the “2007 Form 10-K”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Company’s 2007 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
