PVF CAPITAL CORP. ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY EARNINGS AND CASH DIVIDEND.

PVF Capital Corp., the parent company of Park View Federal Savings Bank,
announced earnings of $1,267,000, or $0.16 basic earnings per share and $0.16
diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as compared to
earnings of $1,313,000, or $0.17 basic earnings per share and $0.17 diluted
earnings per share, for the prior year comparable period.

Earnings were $3,646,000, or $0.47 basic earnings per share and $0.46 diluted
earnings per share, for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006 as compared
to $4,003,000, or $0.52 basic earnings per share and $0.51 diluted earnings per
share, for the prior year comparable period.

The decrease in earnings for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31,
2006 is attributable to an increase in the provision for loan losses, a decrease
in non-interest income, and an increase in non-interest expense that were
substantially offset by an increase in net interest income. Non-interest income
decreased as a result of declines in mortgage banking activities, gains on the
sale of real estate owned and profit on real estate activity. Non-interest
expense increased primarily as a result of increases to compensation and
benefits and office occupancy and equipment. The increase to net interest income
in the current periods was attributable to balance sheet growth in both
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in addition to an
increase in the Company's interest rate spread.

As of March 31, 2006, PVF Capital Corp. reported assets of $892.6 million, an
increase of $68.7 million or 8.3%, from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
Total stockholders' equity of PVF Capital Corp. was $68.3 million at March 31,
2006. Annualized return on assets and return on equity were 0.56% and 7.21%,
respectively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2006.

On March 28, 2006, 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 5, 2006 to the
stockholders of record at the close of business on April 28, 2006.
