NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Six Months Ended
December 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, 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 six months ended December 31, 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. 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 quarter ended December 31, 2007, compensation expense of $28,192 was recognized in the income statement related to the vesting of previously issued awards. For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, $110,435 was recognized in the income statement related to the vesting of previously issued awards plus vesting of new awards. For the six months ended December 31, 2007, compensation expense of $60,228 was recognized in the income statement related to the vesting of previously issued awards. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, $141,502 was recognized in the income statement related to the vesting of previously issued awards plus vesting of new awards. For the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 income tax benefits of $0 and $17,787, respectively, were recognized related to these expenses.
As of December 31, 2007, there was $319,516 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 3.1 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. Nonqualified stock options are granted to directors and vest immediately. The option period expires ten years from the date of grant and the exercise price is the market price at the date of grant.
The aggregate intrinsic value of all options outstanding at December 31, 2007 was $1,119,100. The aggregate intrinsic value of all options that were exercisable at December 31, 2007 was $1,100,042.

The fair value for stock options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2006, which consisted of multiple grants in November 2006 was determined at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes options-pricing model and the following assumptions:
         
    2006
Expected average risk-free interest rate
    4.56 %
Expected average life (in years)
    9.14  
Expected volatility
    24.95 %
Expected dividend yield
    2.74 %

Item 1
The weighted average fair value of these grants was $2.83 in the six months ended December 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.

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 matters 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 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.

Item 1
On November 5, 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value through Earnings (“SAB 109”). Previously, SAB 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments, stated that in measuring the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, a company should not incorporate the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan. SAB 109 supersedes SAB 105 and indicates that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in measuring fair value for all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB 105 also indicated that internally-developed intangible assets should not be recorded as part of the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, and SAB 109 retains that view. SAB 109 is effective for derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. Management expects the impact of this standard to materially impact the Company’s accounting for derivative loan commitments. Management expects to record additional income in the third quarter of the fiscal year as a result of adoption, although we cannot estimate the amount of this additional income at this time.

PENDING MERGER AGREEMENT
On July 24, 2007, United Community Financial Corp. (“United Community”), The Home Savings and Loan Company of Youngstown, Ohio (“Home Savings”), the Company and the Bank entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of the Company with and into United Community and the subsequent merger of the Bank with Home Savings.
The Company’s shareholders will receive for each share owned $18.50 in cash or 1.852 shares of United Community common stock, or a combination of $9.25 cash and 0.926 shares of United Community common stock, subject to the requirement that 50% of the Company’s outstanding shares will be paid in stock and 50% in cash, via a pro ration formula described in the Merger

PENDING MERGER AGREEMENT continued
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.
The Company and United Community have announced that the Office of Thrift Supervision has notified United Community that the Office of Thrift Supervision has suspended processing of the application for approval of the merger of the Company into UCFC, pending the results of the upcoming examination of UCFC’s subsidiary, The Home Savings and Loan Company of Youngstown, Ohio. This examination is ongoing. The Company and UCFC do not expect that the merger can be completed before the end of the first quarter of 2008.
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, $52.5 million of the Company’s securities holdings were called by their issuers. The Company reinvested a portion of these proceeds and used the remainder, plus proceeds from the issuance of brokered deposits, to repay short-term Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”) advances.
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 $875.6 million as of December 31, 2007, a decrease of approximately $25.3 million, or 2.8%, 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 10.25%, 12.85% and 13.37%, respectively, at December 31, 2007.
During the six months ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, which consist of cash, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold, increased $3.1 million, or 10.8%, as compared to June 30, 2007. The change in the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold consisted of an increase in interest-bearing deposits of $12.3 million and decreases in cash and fed funds of $9.2 million.
Loans receivable, net, decreased by $4.4 million, or 0.6%, during the six months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in loans receivable included decreases in multi-family, commercial real estate loans, home equity and commercial equity line of credit loans, construction loans, multi-family construction loans, non real estate loans, and land loans, partially offset by increases in single-family mortgage loans and commercial construction loans.

Total loans receivable
    716,402,186       720,741,261  
Net deferred loan origination fees
    (2,615,611 )     (2,831,894 )
Allowance for loan losses
    (4,818,657 )     (4,580,549 )
 
           
Loans receivable, net
  $ 708,967,918     $ 713,328,818  
 
           
The decrease of $5.0 million in loans receivable held for sale is the result of timing differences between the origination and the sale of loans. The decrease of $1.1 million in mortgage-backed securities is the result of principal payments received during the six-month period.
The $19.9 million decrease in securities held to maturity resulted from calls exercised by the issuer of $52.5 million in securities and the purchase of $32.6 million in callable agency securities during the current period. Securities available for sale increased by $1.0 million because of the Bank’s decision to purchase 40,000 shares of FHLMC preferred stock.
The increase of $1.5 million in real estate owned is the result of the addition of twelve single-family properties totaling $3.1 million offset by the disposal of ten single-family properties totaling $1.6 million.
Deposits increased by $20.2 million, or 3.1%, as the result of management’s decision to obtain funding via a one year brokered certificate of deposit to improve the Bank’s liquidity in a tight credit market. The line of credit balance increased by $2.0 million due to borrowings for operational needs. Advances decreased by $45.0 million as a result of the repayment of short-term borrowings from the FHLB. The increase in advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $2.2 million is attributable to timing differences between the collection and payment of taxes and insurance. The decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $5.1 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 December 31, 2007,
 
  compared to three months ended
 
  December 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, levels of non-accruing loans, 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 December 31, 2007 was $731,800 as compared to $1,136,600 for the prior year comparable period. This represents a decrease of $404,800, or 35.6%, when compared with the prior year comparable period.
Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 decreased by $1,166,800, or 18.1%, as compared to the prior year comparable period. This resulted from a decrease of $1,192,500, or 7.6%, in interest income offset slightly by a decrease of $25,700, or 0.3%, in interest expense. The decrease in net interest income was attributable to a decline of 53 basis points in the interest-rate spread for the quarter ended December 31, 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 average interest-rate spread resulted from margin compression attributable to a flat yield curve, an increase in nonperforming loans and an increase in the Company’s cost of funds. Typically loans are placed on non-accrual when they become 90 days and greater past due. At that time, all previously accrued interest is reversed from income and reserved while the loan is non nonperforming. This process has directly impacted the yield on loans during the quarter as loans have been placed on non-accrual. Interest reserves increased by $420,000 in the quarter.

For the three months ended December 31, 2007, a provision for loan losses of $82,000 was recorded, while a provision for loan losses of $252,000 was recorded in the prior year comparable period. 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.

(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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS continued
The levels of non-accruing loans at June 30, 2007 and December 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 $20.1 million and $13.7 million of non-accruing loans at December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, $12.5 million and $8.4 million, respectively, were individually identified as impaired. All of these loans are collateralized by various forms of non-homogeneous real estate. 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 December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 of $844,736 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 $333,850 and $263,205 for these loans as of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively.
The current period provision for loan losses reflects the increase in specific loan loss reserves described above along with changes to the overall volume and composition of the loan portfolio. Because management believes most of the Bank’s impaired loans and non-performing one-to-four family loans are adequately collateralized, and because of decreases in balances in some of the loan categories deemed to represent higher risk of loss, we provided a moderate amount for loan losses for the quarter.
For the three months ended December 31, 2007, non-interest income decreased by $104,000, or 11.1%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted from decreases of $153,500 in other, net, and $500 in service and other fees partially offset by an increase of $41,300 in mortgage banking activities and an increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) of $8,700. The decrease in other, net is primarily the result of losses on the sale of real estate owned compared to gains on disposition reported in the prior year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS continued
The increase of $41,300 in mortgage banking activities resulted from an increase in gain on the sale of loans partially offset by a decrease in market valuation recovery on loans held for sale and mortgage banking derivatives in the current 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 December 31, 2007 decreased by $459,700, or 8.4%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted from a decrease in compensation and benefits of $528,500 and a decrease in office occupancy and equipment of $38,100, partially offset by an increase in other non-interest expense of $106,900. The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily the result of increases in real estate owned expense. Compensation and benefits decreased due to a decrease in staffing. In the current period, accrued incentive bonuses in the amount of $250,000 were reversed against expense because it was determined bonuses will not be paid based on the year to date performance of the Company.
The federal income tax provision for the three-month period ended December 31, 2007 represented an effective rate of 26.3% for the current period compared to an effective rate of 30.4% for the prior year comparable period. The decrease in the effective rate in the current period is attributable to an increased proportion of pre-tax income consisting of an increase in the earnings of BOLI, which is generally tax exempt.
     
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  Six months ended December 31, 2007,
compared to six months ended
December 31, 2006.
The Company’s net income for the six months ended December 31, 2007 was $1,342,800 as compared to $2,699,700 for the prior year comparable period. This represents a decrease of $1,356,900, or 50.3%, when compared with the prior year comparable period.
Net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2007 decreased by $2,102,800, or 15.9%, as compared to the prior year comparable period. This resulted from a decrease of $1,610,400, or 5.1%, in interest income and an increase of $492,400, or 2.7%, in interest expense. The decrease in net interest income was attributable to a decline of 47 basis points in the interest-rate spread for the six-month period ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the prior year comparable period along with a decrease in both average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in the interest-rate spread resulted from margin compression attributable to a flat yield curve, an increase in nonperforming loans and an increase in the Company’s cost of funds.
The following table presents comparative information for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 about average balance and average yield and cost for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by the interest-rate spread and by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net loan charge-offs in the current period were $438,000 as compared to $114,000 in the prior period. The higher charge-offs were due primarily to the effects of a weakening housing market.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS continued
For the six months ended December 31, 2007, non-interest income decreased by $100,700, or 5.8%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted primarily from a decrease in other, net of $249,000 resulting from net losses on the sale of real estate owned, compared to net gains reported in the prior year period, along with a decrease of $7,700 in mortgage banking activities. This was offset by increases in earnings on BOLI of $115,500, and in service and other fees of $40,500.
The decrease of $7,700 in mortgage banking activities resulted from a decrease in market valuation recovery on loans held for sale and mortgage banking derivatives offset by an increase in gain on the sale of loans in the current period. During these periods, the Company pursued a strategy of originating long-term, fixed-rate loans pursuant to FHLMC and FNMA guidelines and selling such loans to the FHLMC or the FNMA, while retaining the servicing.
Non-interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2007 decreased by $644,300, or 5.9%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted from decreases in compensation and benefits of $688,800, and office occupancy and equipment of $98,100 offset by an increase in other non-interest expense of $142,600. The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily the result of increases in real estate owned expense. Compensation and benefits decreased due to a decrease in staffing and incentive bonuses paid.
The federal income tax provision for the six-month period ended December 31, 2007 decreased to an effective rate of 24.1% for the current period from an effective rate of 31.0% for the prior year comparable period. The decrease in the effective rate in the current period is attributable to an increased proportion of pre-tax income consisting of an increase in the cash surrender value of BOLI, which is generally tax exempt.
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.

Item 3
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES continued
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. The Bank’s borrowing capacity with the FHLB has been reduced as a result of the more restrictive environment surrounding bank lending. We have supplemented our source of liquidity by utilizing brokered certificates of deposit.
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 six-month period ended December 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. 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. The decline in interest rates in the latter half of the period resulted in calls being exercised by the issuers on securities held for investment and the reinvestment of a portion of the proceeds in like securities with lower yields. 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 disclosure 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.
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 that procedures have been implemented to cure the material weakness.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Consummation of the merger is subject to conditions and is not assured.
The consummation of the merger is subject to several closing conditions, including obtaining regulatory approval and approval of the Company’s and United Community’s stockholders. The Company and United Community have announced that the Office of Thrift Supervision has notified United Community that the Office of Thrift Supervision has suspended processing of the application for approval of the merger of the Company into UCFC, pending the results of the upcoming examination of UCFC’s subsidiary, The Home Savings and Loan Company of Youngstown, Ohio. This examination is ongoing. The Company and UCFC do not expect that the merger can be completed before the end of the first quarter of 2008. Under the terms of the merger agreement with United Community, if the merger is not consummated on or prior to March, 31, 2008, either the Company or United Community may terminate the merger agreement without penalty. We do not know at this time if or when either party might exercise its right to terminate the merger agreement after March 31, 2008. If the Company and United Community are unable to satisfy all closing conditions, including obtaining the necessary regulatory and stockholder approvals, or if either party exercises its right after March 31, 2008 to terminate the merger agreement, the merger will not be completed. This could hurt the trading price for Company common stock.
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.
