PVF Capital Corp. announces quarterly operating results.

PVF Capital Corp., the parent company of Park View Federal Savings Bank,
announced a loss of $8,580,000, or $1.10 basic earnings per share and diluted
earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to earnings
of $301,000, or $0.04 basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share
for the prior year comparable period. For the nine-month period ended March 31,
2009, the Company reported a loss of $12,204,000, or $1.57 basic earnings per
share and diluted earnings per share, as compared to earnings of $1,644,000, or
$0.21 basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share, for the prior
year period. The loss was primarily driven by an addition to loan loss reserves
that resulted from a comprehensive review of Park View Federal's loan portfolio.

Chief Executive Officer Marty Adams commented that, "Although we are
disappointed to report a loss, Park View Federal continues to be
well-capitalized in every respect. Deposit flows are good and the Bank continues
to attract new depositors. Notwithstanding the weak economy and the decline in
home values, Park View remains committed to financing the needs of families in
northeast Ohio and filling the role of community banker that is so vitally
needed in these challenging times." Looking ahead Mr. Adams added that, "Our
home lending activity continues to be very good and we are optimistic about the
opportunities that lie ahead."

Mr. Adams concluded by saying, "Despite these results, Park View Federal Savings
Bank ended the quarter with capital ratios of 7.86% on a Tier 1 leverage basis
and 11.39% on a total risk-based capital basis, both well in excess of
regulatory capital requirements."

The decline in earnings for the current three- and nine-month periods was
primarily attributable to the provision for loan losses recorded in order to
reflect current economic conditions. During the current period, the Company
performed a thorough review of its loan portfolio. This review involved
analyzing all large borrowing relationships, delinquency trends, and loan
collateral valuation in order to identify impaired loans, as well as
deteriorating loans and loan relationships. As a result of this review detailed
action plans were developed to either return the loans to performing or dispose
of the loans and end the borrowing relationships. This review resulted in the
Bank establishing a provision for loan losses of $15.7 million during the
quarter, bringing the total provision for the nine-month period to $20.0
million. At March 31, 2009, the total allowance for loan losses was $25.8
million.






The decrease in net interest income resulted from increases to nonperforming
loans as well as interest charged off during the periods. Non-interest income
for the current three- and nine-month periods was impacted positively by
increases in mortgage-banking activity resulting from high refinance activity
and gains posted on the sale of loans in addition to gains recorded on the sale
of securities. The increase of $3.0 million and $3.2 million in mortgage banking
activities for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2009 is the
result of increased lending activity along with the adoption of SFAS No. 159
which changed the accounting for loans held for sale effective for the interim
period ended March 31, 2009, and the adoption July 1, 2008 of SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 109 which changed the accounting for the Company's
mortgage banking derivatives.

These gains were negatively impacted in the current nine-month period by the
impairment of the FHLMC and FNMA preferred stock of $1.8 million. In addition,
the Company experienced losses and expenses resulting from the acquisition,
maintenance, and disposal of real estate of $1.4 million and $2.5 million for
the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2009.

Lastly, non-interest expense was negatively affected by increases in the cost of
FDIC insurance due to higher assessment rates charged on deposits for the three-
and nine-month periods of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2009, PVF Capital Corp. reported assets of $897.7 million, an
increase of $30.3 million, or 3.5%, from the prior fiscal year ended June 30,
2008. Total stockholders' equity of PVF Capital Corp. was $57.9 million at March
31, 2009.
