PVF CAPITAL CORP. ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY EARNINGS, CASH DIVIDEND, AND ANNUAL
MEETING.

PVF Capital Corp., the parent company of Park View Federal Savings Bank,
announced earnings of $1,197,000, or $0.16 basic earnings per share and $0.15
diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to
earnings of $1,581,000, or $0.20 basic earnings per share and $0.20 diluted
earnings per share, for the prior year comparable period.

Earnings were $4,843,000, or $0.63 basic earnings per share and $0.62 diluted
earnings per share, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 as compared to
$5,584,000, or $0.72 basic earnings per share and $0.71 diluted earnings per
share, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

Chairman John R. Male commented that the changes to earnings for the quarter and
fiscal year are attributable to an increase in net interest income and an
increase in the required provision for loan losses that resulted from an
increase in classified assets. In addition, non-interest income decreased
primarily as a result of declining gains on the sale of loans. The increase in
non-interest expense is attributable to an increase in compensation and benefits
along with an increase in office occupancy and equipment.

As of June 30, 2006, PVF Capital Corp. reported assets of $906.1 million, an
increase of $82.2 million, or 9.97%, from the prior fiscal year ended June 30,
2005. Total stockholders' equity of PVF Capital Corp. was $69.0 million at June
30, 2006. Return on assets and return on equity were 0.56% and 7.15%,
respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

On June 27, 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 August 11, 2006 to
the stockholders of record at the close of business on July 28, 2006.

The 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on October 23, 2006 at
10:00 a.m. at PVF Capital Corp.'s Corporate Center, 30000 Aurora Road, Solon,
Ohio.
