PVF CAPITAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Six Months Ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007
(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, 2008 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 and six months ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending June 30, 2009. 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 CAPITAL MARKET under the symbol PVFC.
2. Securities: The Company’s securities available-for-sale consists of floating rate preferred stock issued by Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA). For the three and six months ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized a $102,400 and $1,841,200 pre-tax charge for the other-than-temporary decline in fair value of this stock.
On September 7, 2008, the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Housing Finance Agency announced that FNMA and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp (FHLMC) had been placed into conservatorship. Dividends on the preferred shares of the entities have been suspended.
The fair value of the Company’s holdings of these securities was $48,800 at December 31, 2008.
In December 2008, the Company sold mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $49,742,728 held at that time as held-to-maturity. The Company’s intent with respect to these securities changed due to the bond market’s reaction to the announcement by the Federal Reserve that they intended to take unprecedented action to acquire certain mortgage-backed securities. Proceeds from this sale were $50,263,387 and the Company realized a gain on this transaction of $520,659.
Subsequent to this sale, the Company reclassified its remaining mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity to available-for-sale. The amortized cost of these securities at the time of the transfer was $56,765,340 and the related unrealized gain on these securities was $675,992. The unrealized gain was recognized in other comprehensive income at the time of the transfer.
In December 2008, the Company sold another mortgage-backed security with an amortized cost of $14,881,350. The Company realized a gain of $145,270 on this sale.
The income tax provision related to gains on these sales was $226,400.

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 granted since that date. Prior interim periods and fiscal year results were not restated. For the quarters ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, compensation expense of $125,739 and $28,192, respectively, 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, 2008 and 2007, compensation expense of $152,009 and $60,228, respectively, 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, 2008 and 2007 income tax benefits of $21,954 and $0, respectively, were recognized related to these expenses.
As of December 31, 2008, there was $287,863 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 2.5 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 and are exercisable at 110 percent of the market price at 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, 2008 was $0. The aggregate intrinsic value of all options that were exercisable at December 31, 2008 was $0.
A summary of the activity in the plan is as follows:

The fair value for stock options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2008, which consisted of multiple grants in November 2008, was determined at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes options-pricing model and the following assumptions:
         
    2008
Expected average risk-free interest rate
    3.82 %
Expected average life (in years)
    9.42  
Expected volatility
    28.61 %
Expected dividend yield
    0 %
The weighted average fair value of these grants was $1.84. 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.

7. Fair Value: FASB Statement No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Statement 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use to price an asset or liability.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value.
Securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs). The fair values of mortgage-backed securities are determined through matrix pricing. This is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).
Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted secondary market prices.

Mortgage banking pipeline derivatives: The fair value of loan commitments is measured using current market rates for the associated mortgage loans. The fair value of mandatory forward sales contracts is measured using secondary market pricing.

  $ 12,118,340                 $ 12,118,340  
Impaired loans, which are usually measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral, had a carrying amount of $23.1 million. Of these, $9.9 million were carried at fair value as a result of a specific valuation allowance of $2.2 million. The fair value of collateral is usually estimated by third-party or internal appraisals of the collateral. The present value of estimated cash flows is based on internal models of expected borrower activity. The provision for loan losses related to changes in the fair value of impaired loans increased by $3.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2008.
8. Participation in the Treasury Capital Purchase Program: On October 3, 2008, Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA), which provides the U. S. Secretary of the Treasury with broad authority to implement certain actions to help restore stability and liquidity to U.S. markets.
One of the provisions resulting from the Act is the Treasury Capital Purchase Program (CPP), which provides direct equity investment of perpetual preferred stock by the Treasury in qualified financial institutions.
The program is voluntary and requires an institution to comply with a number of restrictions and provisions, including limits on executive compensation, stock redemptions and declaration of dividends. Applications had to be submitted by

Item 1
November 14, 2008 and are subject to approval by the Treasury. The CPP provides for a minimum investment of 1% of Risk-Weighted Assets, with a maximum investment equal to the lesser of 3% of Total Risk-Weighted Assets or $25 billion. The perpetual preferred stock investment will have a dividend rate of 5% per year, until the fifth anniversary of the Treasury investment, and a dividend of 9%, thereafter. The CPP also requires the Treasury to receive warrants for common stock equal to 15% of the capital invested by the Treasury. The Company has applied for participation in the CPP and is awaiting a response from the Treasury. Participation in the program is not automatic and subject to approval by the Treasury.
9. PVF Capital Corp. (the “Company”)has elected to defer the payment of dividends on $10.0 million of variable-rate Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due June 29, 2034 and $10,000,000 of fixed-rate Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due July 6, 2036 (the “Debentures”). The Company issued the Debentures to two special purpose entities, PVF Capital Trust I and PVF Capital Trust II (the “Trusts”), in exchange for the proceeds of the offering by the Trusts of trust preferred securities. Pursuant to the terms of the Debentures, interest on the Debentures may be deferred at any time or from time to time for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly payments (five years), provided there is no event of default. While the Company will defer the payment of interest on the Debentures, it will continue to accrue expense for interest owed on the Debentures at a compounded rate. Under the terms of the Debentures, if the Company has elected to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures, the Company generally may not declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock. Accordingly, the Company will discontinue the payment of cash dividends on its common stock.
10. Adoption of New Accounting Standards: 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. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements other than additional disclosures.
On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for that Asset is Not Active.” This FSP does not change existing GAAP, but seeks to clarify how to consider various inputs in determining fair value under current market conditions consistent with the principles of FAS 157. The FSP provides one example on how to calculate fair value when there is not an active market for that financial asset. Key concepts addressed include distressed sales, the use of third party pricing information, use of internal assumptions, and others. The FSP was effective upon issuance and therefore it applies to the financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2008.
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. The Company adopted the fair value option for its loans held for sale in order to mitigate volatility in reported earnings that would otherwise result from accounting for the mortgage banking pipeline at fair value and continuing to account for its loans held for sale under the traditional lower-of-cost-or-market model. There was not an impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
FSP EITF 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20, issued January 12, 2009 (“the FSP”), is effective for the Company for the interim period ended December 31, 2008.
The FSP was issued to address concerns that U.S. GAAP had two different models for determining whether the impairment of a debt security is other-than-temporary. EITF 99-20, pre-FSP, required management to consider future expected cash flows from the perspective of a market participant. Under this prior view, it was generally determined, that in situations where fair value for purchased beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that are not of high quality at acquisition was

Page 11

Part I Financial Information
Item 1
below cost, that a market participant would automatically conclude there had been an adverse change in cash flows, thus prompting the need to recognize an other-than- temporary impairment. The new impairment model for these purchased beneficial interests does not necessarily mean that other-than-temporary impairment will not be present in these types of instruments. In instances when impairment exists, management must support its estimate that it is probable that all estimated or contractual cash flows will be collected. If it is not probable that all contractual cash flows will be collected it is likely that other-than-temporary impairment exists.
Management does not expect an impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of the adoption of the FSP as the Company owns no purchased beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that are not of high quality at acquisition.
Effect of Newly Issued but not yet Effective Accounting Standards
FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities, requires public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets. It also amends FIN 46(R) to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a variable interest entity and nontransferor servicers that have a significant variable interest in a QSPE, to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities and QSPEs. This FSP, which focuses on disclosures only, was issued as an intermediary step until the FASB issues their amendments to Statement 140 and FIN 46(R) which are primarily expected to eliminate the scope exceptions for non-consolidation of QSPEs.
The new disclosure requirements of this FSP apply primarily to entities that securitize financial assets and enter into asset-backed financing arrangements, and therefore are not expected to have an impact on the financial statements of the Company as we have not engaged in a securitization of loans or other financial assets.

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 six-month period ended December 31, 2008 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
The Company generally seeks to fund loan activity and liquidity by generating deposits through its branch network and through the use of various borrowing facilities. During the period, the Company used increases in deposits to repay short-term advances and to increase cash and cash equivalents in order to improve the Bank’s liquidity position.
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 $903.1 million as of December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $35.7 million, or 4.1%, as compared to June 30, 2008. The Bank remained “well-capitalized” under regulatory guidelines for tier one core capital, tier one risk-based capital, and total risk-based capital with capital levels of 8.98%, 11.51% and 12.61%, respectively, at December 31, 2008.

FINANCIAL CONDITION continued
During the six months ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, which consist of cash, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold, increased $15.5 million, or 87.3%, as compared to June 30, 2008. The change in the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold consisted of increases in interest-bearing deposits and cash of $17.0 million and a decrease in federal funds sold of $1.5 million. The increase in cash resulted from the maturity of $7.6 million in securities prior to the end of the period as well as the Bank’s decision to maintain higher cash balances in order to bolster the Company’s liquidity.
Loans receivable, net, increased by $7.6 million, or 1.1%, during the six months ended December 31, 2008. The increase in loans receivable included increases to commercial, multifamily, and equity line of credit loans, partially offset by decreases to land, one-to-four family, and construction loans.

Park View Federal Savings Bank does not originate sub-prime loans and only originates Alt A loans for sale, without recourse, in the secondary market. All one-to-four family loans are underwritten according to agency underwriting standards. Exceptions, if any, are submitted to the loan committee for approval. Any exposure the Bank may have to these types of loans is immaterial and insignificant.
The decrease of $3.5 million in loans receivable held for sale is the result of timing differences between the origination and the sale of loans. Previously, the Company’s mortgage-backed securities were classified as held-to-maturity and were carried at amortized cost. During the second quarter of the current fiscal year, management transferred these to available-for-sale and these securities are now carried at fair value. The Company sold $49.7 million of these securities previously held-to-maturity, acquired $68 million of new securities, and subsequently sold $14.7 million of the new securities. Market conditions were extraordinary during the period due to the announcement of the Federal Reserve’s unprecedented actions to bolster the mortgage-backed security market.

The increase of $5.4 million in real estate owned is the result of the addition of 33 single-family properties, 5 parcels of land, and 3 commercial properties totaling approximately $10.8 million offset by the disposal of 27 single-family properties, two parcels of land, and 2 commercial properties totaling $5.4 million. At December 31, 2008 the Bank had 28 properties totaling $9.5 million in real estate owned. The real estate owned included 19 single-family properties, 6 parcels of land, and 2 commercial properties.
Deposits increased by $37.1 million, or 5.6%, as the result of management’s decision to obtain three brokered deposits totaling $64.0 million in order to take advantage of attractive rates available as well as to improve the Bank’s liquidity in a tight credit market. Advances decreased by $9.0 million as a result of the repayment of $9.0 million in short-term borrowings. The increase in advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $2.0 million is attributable to timing differences between the collection and payment of taxes and insurance. The increase in prepaid expenses and other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities is primarily the result of the sale and purchase of $10.4 million and $10.3 million, respectively, of mortgage-backed securities in December 2008 with a January 2009 settlement.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS   Three months ended December 31, 2008,
compared to three months ended
December 31, 2007.
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, the collectibility of 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, loan loss provisions and costs associated with the acquisition, maintenance and disposal of real estate.
During the three and six months ended December 31, 2008, the Company reported a net loss due to elevated levels of loan loss provisions and other-than-temporary impairment charges on its holdings of FNMA preferred stock.
The Company’s net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $2,721,500 as compared to net income of $731,800 for the prior year comparable period. This represents a decrease of $3,453,300 when compared with the prior year comparable period.
Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2008 decreased by $812,000, or 15.4%, as compared to the prior year comparable period. This resulted from a decrease of $2,503,300, or 17.3%, in interest income partially offset by a

decrease of $1,691,300, or 18.4%, in interest expense. The decrease in net interest income was attributable to a decline of 28 basis points in the interest-rate spread for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the prior year comparable period. The decrease in interest-rate spread resulted from margin compression attributable to declining rates on adjustable-rate loans, resulting from a decrease in short-term market rates not reflected in local market deposit pricing, along with an increase in non-performing loans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS continued
For the three months ended December 31, 2008, a provision for loan losses of $3,641,000 was recorded, while a provision for loan losses of $82,000 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. The allowance for loan losses consists of a specific component and a general component.
Following is a breakdown of our valuation allowances:
                 
    December 31, 2008     June 30, 2008  
General valuation allowance
  $ 7,763,433     $ 6,315,252  
Specific valuation allowance
    3,236,575       3,338,720  
 
           
Total valuation allowance
  $ 11,000,008     $ 9,653,972  
 
           
Management’s approach includes establishing a specific valuation allowance by evaluating individual non-performing loans for probable losses based on a systematic approach involving estimating the realizable value of the underlying collateral. Additionally, management established a general valuation allowance for pools of performing loans segregated by collateral type. For the general valuation allowance, management is applying a prudent loss factor based on our historical loss experience, trends based on changes to non-performing loans and foreclosure activity, and our subjective evaluation of the local population and economic environment. The loan portfolio is segregated into categories based on collateral type and a loss factor is applied to each category. The initial basis for each loss factor is the Company’s loss experience for each category. Historical loss percentages are calculated and adjusted by taking charge-offs in each risk category during the past 12 months and dividing the total by the average balance of each category. The Bank’s historical charge-offs, prior to fiscal 2008, are limited and the application of historical charge-offs per our formula resulted in extremely small historical loss factors at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008. In the quarter ended December 31, 2008, since charge-off activity has increased, the historical loss factors were revised to reflect the most current twelve month rolling average. Presently, we are updating our historical loss percentages on a monthly basis using a 12 month rolling average.
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 current period provision for loan losses reflects the impact on the loss factors applied to pools of performing loans due to the recent increase in the Company’s historical loss experience.

(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.
The levels of non-accruing loans at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008 are attributable to poor current local and economic conditions. Residential markets nationally and locally have been adversely impacted by a significant increase in foreclosures as a result of the problems faced by sub-prime borrowers and the resulting contraction of residential credit available to all but the most credit worthy borrowers. Land development projects nationally and locally have seen slow sales and price decreases. The Company has significant exposure to the residential market in the Greater Cleveland, Ohio area. As a result, the Company has seen a significant increase in non-performing loans. 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 $32.8 million and $22.5 million in non-accruing loans at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, $23.1 million and $16.0 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 December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 of $2,154,026 and $2,792,048, respectively. At June 30, 2008 certain land and construction loans not included in non-accrual loans were considered to be impaired. Since June 30, these loans were designated as non-accrual. For this reason, the dollar amount of impaired loans did not change significantly from June 30 to December 30, despite the increase in non-accrual loans identified as impaired. Certain impaired loans were charged-off in six month period ended December 31, 2008. Loans newly identified as impaired were generally determined to be adequately collateralized.
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 $917,907 and $453,470 for these loans as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively.
There are $2.7 million and $3.0 million in performing loans for which we have established specific loan loss reserves as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008. These loans are collateralized by various forms of one-to-four family real estate, non-residential real estate or residential construction. 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 $164,642 and $93,202 for these loans as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively.
For the three months ended December 31, 2008, non-interest income increased by $345,600, or 41.4%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted primarily from a gain on the sale of mortgage-backed securities of $665,900 and an increase in income from mortgage-banking activities of $94,500. As described earlier, during the current period the Company reclassified is mortgage-backed securities portfolio from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale and sold some securities, resulting in realized gains during the period. These increases were partially offset by decreases in earnings on bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) of $270,600, service and other fees of $28,200, an impairment charge of $102,400 from the markdown in value of preferred stock issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), and in other, net of $13,600.
The gain on the sale of mortgage-backed securities is the result of sharply declining market rates that resulted in an opportunity for the Bank to sell mortgage-backed securities at an attractive market premium.
The increase of $94,500 in mortgage banking activities is primarily the result of a fair value adjustment recorded to income for the Company’s loans held for sale. the Company elected to account for these at fair value beginning July 1, 2008. 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.
The decline in earnings on BOLI is the result of the Bank transferring the balances held in separate accounts from investment in mortgage-backed securities to money market accounts because of market volatility. The earnings of the money market account were insufficient to offset the cost of the insurance.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2008 increased by $989,900, or 19.7%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted from an increase in compensation and benefits of $385,700, and an increase in other non-interest expense of $718,400, partially offset by a decrease in office occupancy and equipment of $114,200.
The increase in compensation and benefits is due to a severance accrual and other employee costs. The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily the result of increases in the cost of FDIC insurance due to higher assessment rates charged on deposits, real estate owned expenses attributable to the maintenance of properties acquired through foreclosure, and outside services.
The federal income tax provision for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 represented an effective rate of a negative 32.3% for the current period compared to an effective rate of 26.3% for the prior year comparable period. The effective rate in the prior period was reduced due to the increased proportion of pre-tax income consisting of an increase in the cash surrender value of BOLI.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS   Six months ended December 31, 2008,
compared to six months ended
December 31, 2007.
The Company’s net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2008 was $3,622,800 as compared to net income of $1,342,800 for the prior year comparable period. This represents a decrease of $4,965,600 when compared with the prior year comparable period.
Net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2008 decreased by $1,365,900, or 12.3%, as compared to the prior year comparable period. This resulted from a decrease of $5,304,300, or 17.8%, in interest income partially offset by a decrease of $3,938,400, or 21.1%, in interest expense. The decrease in net interest income was attributable to a decline of 22 basis points in the interest-rate spread for the six month period ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the prior year comparable period. The decrease in interest-rate spread resulted from margin compression attributable to declining rates on adjustable-rate loans, resulting from a decrease in short-term market rates not reflected in local market deposit pricing, along with an increase in non-performing loans.

For the six months ended December 31, 2008, a provision for loan losses of $4,332,000 was recorded, while a provision for loan losses of $675,400 was recorded in the prior year comparable period. The current period provision for loan losses reflects increases to specific loan loss reserves, changes to the overall volume and composition of the loan portfolio, and adjustments to historical loan loss

percentages based upon the methodology described previously. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2008, the Bank increased loss factors by collateral type in order to reflect recent increases in historical losses.
For the six months ended December 31, 2008, non-interest income decreased by $1,494,100, or 91.5%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted primarily from an impairment charge of $1,841,200 from the markdown in value of preferred stock issued by the FHLMC and the FNMA. In addition, earnings on BOLI decreased by $470,900 and service and other fees decreased by $72,800. These decreases were partially offset by a gain on the sale of mortgage-backed securities of $665,900, increases to other, net of $73,100, and income from mortgage banking activities of $151,800.
The gain on the sale of mortgage-backed securities is the result of sharply declining market rates that resulted in an opportunity for the Bank to sell mortgage-backed securities at an attractive market premium. During the current period the Bank reclassified its mortgage-backed securities portfolio from held to maturity to available for sale.
The increase of $151,800 in mortgage banking activities is primarily the result of a change in the accounting for the Company’s loans held for sale, now carried at fair value, and a change in accounting for the Company’s mortgage banking derivatives, which are valued using different attributes than used in the prior period due to the Company’s adoption of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin N. 109. 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.
The decline in earnings on BOLI is the result of the Bank transferring the balances held in separate accounts from investment in mortgage-backed securities to money market accounts because of market volatility. The earnings of the money market account were insufficient to offset the cost of the insurance.
Non-interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2008 increased by $639,300, or 6.2%, from the prior year comparable period. This resulted from an increase in other non-interest expense of $869,300, partially offset by a decrease in office occupancy and equipment of $209,300 and compensation and benefits of $20,700. The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily the result of increases in the cost of FDIC insurance due to higher assessment rates charged on deposits, real estate owned expenses attributable to the maintenance of properties acquired through foreclosure, and outside services.
The federal income tax provision for the six-month period ended December 31, 2008 represented an effective rate of a negative 32.8% for the current period compared to an effective rate of 24.1% for the prior year comparable period. The effective rate in the prior period was reduced due to the increased proportion of pre-tax income consisting of an increase in the cash surrender value of BOLI.
The Bank’s primary regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) has implemented a statutory framework for capital requirements which establishes five categories of capital strength ranging from “well capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.” An institution’s category depends upon its capital level in relation to relevant capital measures, including two risk-based capital measures, a tangible capital measure and a core/leverage capital measure. At December 31, 2008

and June 30, 2008, the Bank’s capital exceeded the current applicable regulatory capital measurements to meet the definition of a well-capitalized institution, as demonstrated in the following table:

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.
During the current period the Company enhanced its liquidity position by increasing its deposits and cash and cash equivalents as well as increasing its collateral borrowing position. Management believes the Company maintains sufficient liquidity to meet current operational needs.
Our holding company, PVF Capital Corp., has certain ongoing cash needs primarily related to trust preferred securities and the payment of dividends to stockholders. Interest payments on the trust preferred securities instruments totaled $462,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2008. Cash dividends to stockholders totaled $77,700 for the six months ended December 31, 2008. During the quarter the Company elected to defer interest payments on the trust preferred securities and suspend the payment of cash dividends to stockholders. Cash at the holding company

totaled $17,700 at December 31, 2008.
Our ability to pay dividends depends, in part, on our receipt of dividends from the Bank because the Company has minimal sources of income other than distributions from the Bank. OTS regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions, including cash dividends, by a savings institution, such as the Bank. Under the regulations, an application to and prior approval of the OTS is required prior to any capital distribution if the institution does not meet the criteria for “expedited treatment” of applications under OTS regulations (i.e., generally, examination and Community Reinvestment Act ratings in the two top categories), the total capital distributions for the calendar year exceed net income for that year plus the amount of retained net income for the preceding two years, the institution would be undercapitalized following the distribution or the distribution would otherwise be contrary to a statute, regulation or agreement with the OTS. If an application is not required, the institution must still provide prior notice to the OTS of the capital distribution if, like the Bank, it is a subsidiary of a holding company. In the event the Bank’s capital fell below its regulatory requirements or the OTS notified it that it was in need of increased supervision, the Bank’s ability to make capital distributions could be restricted. In addition, the OTS could prohibit a proposed capital distribution by any institution, which would otherwise be permitted by the regulation, if the OTS determines that such distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.
As of December 31, 2008, the Bank’s calendar year-to-date net income for 2008 plus net income for the prior two calendar years totaled $5,190,900, and the Bank had the ability to pay additional dividends to the Company of up to $790,900 upon notice to the OTS. Dividends in excess of this amount plus additional net income earned in the future would require application to the OTS. Our ability to pay dividends to stockholders depends on our ability to generate sufficient income and maintain sufficient capital at the Bank to pay dividends to the Company.

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 or other financial or insurance instruments. 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 most of the three-month period ended December 31, 2008, despite declining short-term rates, competitive local market demand for deposits has resulted in only a modest decrease to the Bank’s cost of funds, while the yield on interest-earning assets has declined due to decreases in short-term borrowing rates along with increases in impaired loans, resulting in a decrease in interest-rate spread. The compression of interest-rate spread is a function of a flatter yield curve for much of the period. Although the yield curve has returned to a more traditional positive

slope during the current quarter, there remains a lag between market rates and the re-pricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Our strategy 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.
Item 4
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: (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms; and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. 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 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 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008.
