PVF CAPITAL CORP. ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY EARNINGS AND CASH DIVIDEND.

PVF Capital Corp., the parent company of Park View Federal Savings Bank,
announced earnings of $1,313,000, or $0.19 basic earnings per share and $0.18
diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to
earnings of $1,186,000, or $0.17 basic earnings per share and $0.16 diluted
earnings per share, for the prior year comparable period.

Earnings were $4,003,000, or $0.57 basic earnings per share and $0.56 diluted
earnings per share, for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005 as compared
to $5,468,000, or $0.78 basic earnings per share and $0.76 diluted earnings per
share, for the prior year comparable period.

Commenting on the results Chairman John R. Male stated, "The decrease in
earnings for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005 is largely attributable
to a decrease in non-interest income. Non-interest income decreased as a result
of mortgage banking activities, specifically a decrease in gains on the sale of
loans. The results of mortgage banking activity in the prior period were
attributable to historically low market interest rates and refinancing
activity," concluded Mr. Male.

As of March 31, 2005, PVF Capital Corp. reported assets of $811.9 million, an
increase of $56.2 million or 7.4%, from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.
Total stockholders' equity of PVF Capital Corp. was $65.5 million at March 31,
2005. Annualized return on assets and return on equity were 0.68% and 8.29%,
respectively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2005.

On March 22, 2005, the Board of Directors of PVF Capital Corp. declared a
quarterly cash dividend on the Company's outstanding common stock. The cash
dividend will be in the amount of $0.074 per share payable on May 2, 2005 to the
stockholders of record at the close of business on April 25, 2005.
