                                PVF CAPITAL CORP.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.   The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements were prepared 
in accordance with regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for 
Form 10-Q.  All information in the consolidated interim financial statements 
is unaudited except for the June 30, 1997 consolidated statement of financial 
condition which was derived from the Corporation's audited financial 
statements.  Certain information required for a complete presentation in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed 
or omitted.  However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial 
statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring 
accruals, necessary to fairly present the interim financial information.  The 
results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 1997 
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire 
year ending June 30, 1998.  The results of operations for PVF Capital Corp. 
("PVF" or the "Company") for the periods being reported have been derived 
primarily from the results of operation of Park View Federal Savings Bank 
(the "Bank"). PVF Capital Corp.'s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ 
SMALL-CAP ISSUES under the symbol PVFC.

2.   Legislation was signed into law on September 30, 1996 to recapitalize 
the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") that required SAIF-insured 
savings institutions to pay a one-time special assessment of 65.7 cents for 
every $100 of deposits.  This assessment was charged against earnings for the 
quarter ended September 30, 1996 and resulted in a pre-tax charge to the 
Company of approximately $1,708,000 and is reflected in the Statement of 
Operation for the six-month period ended December 31, 1996.

3.   PVF Holdings Inc., a newly formed subsidiary of PVF Capital Corp., made 
an investment in a company that will provide professional financial planning 
services to both individuals and small businesses throughout the Park View 
Federal branch system.

4.   Cash and cash equivalents consist of the following:

                                        December 31, 1997     June 30, 1997

5.   Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which 
supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 15, Earnings per Share, and 
replaces the presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share 
with basic and diluted earnings per share.  SFAS No. 128 was issued to 
simplify the computation of earnings per share and make the U.S. Standard 
more compatible with the earnings per share standards of other countries and 
that of the International Accounting Standards Committee (ISAC).  SFAS No. 
128 is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods 
ending after December 15, 1997.

SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" was issued in June, 1997 and 
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  The 
Statement requires additional reporting of items that affect comprehensive 
income but not net income.  Examples of these items relevant to the Company 
include unrealized gains and losses on securities.  Upon its adoption, this 
statement will result in additional financial statement disclosures.

SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related 
Information" was issued in June, 1997 and is effective for fiscal years 
beginning after December 15, 1997.  The statement requires financial 
disclosure and descriptive information about reportable operating segments.  
Upon its adoption, this statement will result in additional financial 
statement disclosures.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following analysis discusses changes in financial condition and results 
of operations at and for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 
31, 1997 for PVF Capital Corp ("PVF" or the "Company") and Park View Federal 
Savings Bank (the "Bank"), its principal and wholly-owned subsidiary.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Consolidated assets of PVF were $396.2 million as of December 31, 1997, an 
increase of approximately $23.1 million or 6.2% as compared to June 30, 1997. 
The Bank remained in regulatory capital compliance for tangible, core, and 
risk-based capital on a fully phased-in basis with capital levels of 7.32%, 
7.32% and 10.53% respectively at December 31, 1997.

During the six months ended December 31, 1997, the Company's cash and cash 
equivalents, which consist of cash, interest-bearing deposits and federal 
funds sold, decreased $3.1 million or 32.4% as compared to June 30, 1997.  
The change in the Company's cash and cash equivalents consisted of a decrease 
in interest-bearing deposits of $0.1 million, a decrease in cash of $4.5 
million and an increase in federal funds sold of $1.5 million.

The net $26.3 million or 7.7% increase in loans receivable and 
mortgage-backed securities, during the six months ended December 31, 1997, 
resulted from an increase in loans receivable of $23.4 million and an 
increase in mortgage-backed securities of $2.9 million.  The increase of 
$23.4 million in loans receivable included increases of $9.4 million in 
single family mortgage loans, $5.8 million in construction loans,  $4.8 
million in commercial loans, $1.7 million in home equity loans, $1.2 million 
in land loans, and a net increase of $0.5 million in all other mortgage and 
installment loans.  The increase in mortgage-backed securities held to 
maturity of $2.9 million was the result of the purchase of a $3.0 million 
security less payments received of $0.1 million.

The increase of $1.1 million in real estate owned ("REO")is the result of the 
foreclosure on two loans made to one borrower and the subsequent acquisition 
into REO of the fully developed building lots securing these loans.  The 
increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of 1.9 million is primarily the 
result of the Bank's investment of $1.3 million in a low income affordable 
housing partnership along with a $0.3 million increase

in Federal Reserve Bank adjustments and returned checks relating to NOW 
accounts.

During the six months ended December 31, 1997, management decision to compete 
aggressively with market savings rates for additional deposits resulted in an 
increase of $27.7 million, or 9.6% in deposits.  This $27.7 million increase 
in deposits along with the maturity of $6.0 million in agency investment 
securities and the decrease of $3.1 million in cash and cash equivalents were 
used to purchase $3.0 million in agency investment securities and $3.0 
million in mortgage-backed securities available for sale, to repay $7.5 
million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and $0.6 
million in notes payable, and fund the net growth of $23.4 million in the 
loan portfolio.

The increase in advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $0.3 
million is attributable to timing differences between the collection and 
payment of escrow funds.  The increase of $0.7 million in accrued expenses 
and other liabilities is the result of an obligation by the Bank to make 
future installment payments on its investment in the low income affordable 
housing limited partnership.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS   Three months ended December 31, 1997,
                        compared to three months ended
                        December 31, 1996.

PVF's net income is dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is 
the difference between interest earned on its loans and investments and 
interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income also 
includes amortization of loan origination fees, net of origination costs.

PVF's net income is also affected by the generation of non-interest income, 
which primarily consists of loan servicing income, service fees on deposit 
accounts, and gains on the sale of loans held for sale and mortgage-backed 
securities available for sale.  Net interest income is determined by (i) the 
difference between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on 
interest-bearing liabilities ("interest-rate spread") and (ii) the relative 
amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  The 
Company's interest-rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic and 
competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit 
flows.  In addition, net income is affected by the level of operating 
expenses and loan loss provisions.

The Company's net income for the three months ended December 31,

RESULTS OF OPERATION CONTINUED

1997 was $1,301,300 as compared to $1,181,200 for the prior year comparable 
period.  This represents an increase of $120,100, or 10.2%, when compared 
with the prior year comparable period.

Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 1997 increased by 
$224,100 or 6.3%, as compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily 
due to an increase of $907,000 or 11.8% in interest income that resulted from 
an increase of $46.9 million in the average balance of the loan and 
mortgage-backed securities portfolios and an increase in the average balance 
of the investment portfolio of $0.3 million.  This increased balance was 
offset partially by a 17 basis point decrease in the average return on 
interest-earning assets from the prior year comparable period.  The average 
balance on deposits and advances increased by $43.5 million from the prior 
year comparable period.  This increased balance, along with a 14 basis point 
increase in the average cost of funds for the current period, resulted in an 
overall increase in interest expense of $682,900 or 16.7%.  The Company's net 
interest income increased despite a decrease of 31 basis points in the 
Company's interest-rate spread during the current period as compared to the 
prior year comparable period due to balance sheet growth in both 
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

For the three months ended December 31, 1997, a provision for loan losses of 
$50,000 was recorded, while no provision was necessary for the three months 
ended December 31, 1996.  Provisions are based on management's analysis of 
the various factors which affect the loan portfolio and management's desire 
to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate to 
provide for probable future loan losses.  During the three months ended 
December 31, 1997, management increased its unallocated reserves for loan 
losses, based primarily on growth of the loan portfolio, along with 
prevailing economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant.  At 
December 31, 1997, the allowance for loan losses was $2.6 million, which 
represented 85.0% of nonperforming loans and 0.7% of net loans.

For the three months ended December 31, 1997, noninterest income increased 
$72,200 or 24.5% from the prior year comparable period.  This was primarily 
attributable to an increase of $46,600 or 30.7% in income from 
mortgage-banking activities that resulted from an increase in gains on the 
sale of loans held for sale and mortgage-backed securities available for sale 
of $55,500 from the prior year comparable period and a decrease in net 
servicing income in the current period attributable to the amortization of 
the servicing asset resulting from the application of FASB 125, Accounting 
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of 
Liabilities.  During these periods, PVF

pursued a strategy of originating long-term, fixed-rate loans pursuant to 
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and Federal National 
Mortgage Association ("FNMA") guidelines and selling such loans to the FHLMC 
or the FNMA, while retaining the servicing.  Other noninterest income, net, 
increased by $18,000 or 78.2% from the previous year's comparable period 
primarily due to an increase in rental income in the current period.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 1997 increased by 
$36,200 or 1.8% from the prior year comparable period.  This was primarily 
the result of a $66,100, or 6.1% increase in compensation and benefits 
attributable to increased staffing, employee 401K benefits, incentive bonuses 
paid, and salary and wage adjustments.

The federal income tax provision for the three month period ended December 
31, 1997 increased to an effective rate of 34.9% for the current period from 
an effective rate of 34.00% for the prior year comparable period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS   Six months ended December 31, 1997,
                        compared to six months ended
                        December 31, 1996.

PVF's net income is dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is 
the difference between interest earned on its loans and investments and 
interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income also 
includes amortization of loan origination fees, net of origination costs.

PVF's net income is also affected by the generation of non-interest income,

The Company's net income for the six months ended December 31, 1997 was 
$2,562,600 as compared to $1,170,300 for the prior year comparable period. 
This represents an increase of $1,392,300, or 119.0%, when compared with the 
prior year comparable period.  The

RESULTS OF OPERATION CONTINUED

increase in the current period is primarily due to a one-time charge in the 
prior period of approximately $1,708,000 or $1,127,000 after tax, 
representing a special assessment of 65.7 basis points on the Bank's deposits 
held as of March 31, 1995, as a result of the recently enacted legislation to 
recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund.  The Company's income 
excluding this assessment for the six-month period ended December 31, 1996 
was $2,297,300. Comparing this amount to earnings from operations for the six 
month period ended December 31, 1997 resulted in an increase of $265,300, or 
11.5%, for the current year comparable period.

Net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 1997 increased by 
$216,300 or 3.0%, primarily due to an increase of $1,566,600 or 10.3% in 
interest income that resulted from an increase of $44.4 million in the 
average balance of interest earning assets. This increased balance was offset 
partially by a 24 basis point decrease in the average return on 
interest-earning assets from the prior year comparable period.  The average 
balance on deposits and advances increased by $40.2 million from the prior 
year comparable period.  This increased balance along with an 18 basis point 
increase in the average cost of funds for the current period resulted in an 
overall increase in interest expense of $1,350,300 or 16.6%.  Despite a 
decrease of 42 basis points in the Bank's interest-rate spread during the 
current period, as compared to the prior year comparable period, the Bank's 
net interest income increased due to balance sheet growth in both 
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

For the six months ended December 31, 1997, a provision for loan losses of 
$95,000 was recorded, while no provision was necessary for the six months 
ended December 31, 1996.  Provisions are based on management's analysis of 
the various factors which affect the loan portfolio and management's desire 
to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate to 
provide for probable future loan losses.  During the six months ended 
December 31, 1997, management increased its unallocated reserves for loan 
losses based primarily on growth of the loan portfolio, along with prevailing 
economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant.  At December 31, 1997, 
the allowance for loan losses was $2.6 million, which represented 85.0% of 
nonperforming loans and 0.7% of net loans.

For the six months ended December 31, 1997 noninterest income increased 
$263,600 or 49.9% from the prior year comparable period.  This was primarily 
attributable to an increase of $199,000 or 105.6% in income from 
mortgage-banking activities that resulted from an increase in gains on the 
sale of loans held for sale and mortgage-backed securities available for sale

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTINUED

$174,800 from the prior year comparable period and an increase in net 
servicing income in the current period. During these periods, PVF pursued a 
strategy of originating long-term, fixed-rate loans pursuant to Federal Home 
Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and Federal National Mortgage Association 
("FNMA") guidelines and selling such loans to the FHLMC or the FNMA, while 
retaining the servicing.  Other noninterest income, net, increased by $41,700 
or 42.2% from the previous year's comparable period primarily due to an 
increase in rental income in the current period.

Noninterest expense for the six months ended December 31, 1997 decreased by 
$1.7 million or 29.4% from the prior year comparable period.  This was the 
result of the previously noted federal deposit insurance special assessment 
of $1,708,000.  In addition, an $86,300 or 4.0% increase in compensation and 
benefits was attributable to increased staffing, employee 401K benefits, 
incentive bonuses paid, and salary and wage adjustments.

The federal income tax provision for the six-month period ended December 31, 
1997 was at an effective rate of 34.1% for the current period as compared to 
an effective rate of 34.6% for the prior year comparable period.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Bank is required by federal regulations to maintain specific levels of 
"liquid" assets consisting of cash and other eligible investments.  The 
current level of liquidity required by the Office of Thrift Supervision is 4% 
of the sum of net withdrawable savings and borrowings due within one year.  
The Bank's liquidity at December 31, 1997 was 5.2%.  Management believes the 
Bank has sufficient liquidity to meet its operational needs.
