PVF Capital Corp. announces quarterly operating results.

PVF Capital Corp., the parent company of Park View Federal Savings Bank,
announced a loss of $7,912,000, or $1.02 basic and diluted earnings per share
for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to a loss of $2,745,000, or
$0.35 basic and diluted earnings per share for the prior year comparable period.
For the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company reported a loss of
$20,116,000, or $2.59 basic and diluted earnings per share, as compared to a
loss of $1,101,000, or $0.14 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the prior
year period.

The decline in earnings for the current three- and twelve-month periods was
primarily attributable to the provision for loan losses recorded in order to
reflect current economic conditions. During the past two quarterly periods, the
Company performed a thorough comprehensive 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 loan to performing or dispose
of the loan and end the borrowing relationship. This review resulted in the Bank
establishing a provision for loan losses of $11.2 million during the quarter,
bringing the total allowance for loan losses to $31.5 million for the year ended
June 30, 2009.

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 twelve-month periods was impacted positively by
increases in mortgage-banking activity resulting from high refinance activity
and gains posted on the sale of loans. This increase of $3.3 million and $6.4
million for the three- and twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2009 resulted
from increased lending activity attributable to historically low interest rates.
In addition, gains were recorded on the sale of securities in the current
twelve-month period.

These gains were negatively impacted in the current twelve-month period by the
impairment of the FHLMC and FNMA preferred stock totaling $1.8 million. In
addition, the Company experienced losses and expenses resulting from the
acquisition, maintenance, and disposal of real estate of $3.2 million and $5.7
million for the three- and twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2009.

The increase in non-interest expense for the three- and twelve-month periods was
primarily the result of increases in the cost of FDIC insurance due to higher
assessment rates in the three- and twelve-month periods of $468,000 and
$1,033,700, respectively, as well as a special one-time assessment charged on
deposits in the current three-month period of $430,500. Lastly, outside services
increased by $676,400 and $1,073,800, respectively, in the current three- and
twelve-month periods primarily as the result of fees paid to consultants.





As of June 30, 2009, PVF Capital Corp. reported assets of $901.6 million, an
increase of $34.2 million, or 3.9%, from the prior fiscal year ended June 30,
2008. Total stockholders' equity of PVF Capital Corp. was $49.5 million at June
30, 2009.
