NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001
(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, 2002 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 months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the entire year ending June 30, 2003. PVF Capital
Corp.'s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ SMALL-CAP ISSUES under the symbol
PVFC.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"
was issued in August 2001 and amends SFAS No. 121 by addressing business
segments accounted for as a discontinued operation under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 30. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. PVF adopted statement 144 on July 1, 2002. Management
determined that the adoption of Statement 144 would not have a material impact
on the Bank's consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 146 "Obligations Associated with Disposal Activities" was issued in
July 2002. This standard covers accounting for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities, such as lease termination costs or employee severance
costs. The Statement replaces EITF 94-3, and is to be applied prospectively to
exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. It requires these
costs to be recognized when they are incurred rather than at date of commitment
to an exit or disposal plan. Management has not yet determined the impact of
adopting this standard.

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 period ended September 30, 2002 for PVF
Capital Corp. ("PVF" or the "Company"), Park View Federal Savings Bank (the
"Bank"), its principal and wholly-owned subsidiary, PVF Service Corporation, a
wholly-owned real estate subsidiary, Mid Pines Land Co., a wholly-owned real
estate subsidiary, and three other wholly-owned subsidiaries which are currently
inactive.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this Form 10-Q, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are
expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project," or
similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in
economic conditions in the Company's market area, changes in policies by
regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the
Company's market area and competition that could cause actual results to differ
materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or
projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on
any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The
Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the
Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for
future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed
with respect to future periods in any current statements.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to
publicly release the results of any revisions which may be made to any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

Consolidated assets of PVF were $697.8 million as of September 30, 2002, an
increase of approximately $18.2 million or 2.7% as compared to June 30, 2002.
The Bank remained in regulatory capital compliance for tangible, core, and
risk-based capital on a fully phased-in basis with capital levels of 7.75%,
7.75% and 11.37% respectively at September 30, 2002.

During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents, which consist of cash, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds
sold, decreased $5.2 million or 36.2% as compared to June 30, 2002. The change
in the Company's cash and cash equivalents consisted of an increase in cash and
interest-

FINANCIAL CONDITION CONTINUED
- -----------------------------

bearing deposits of $2.8 million and a decrease in federal funds sold of $8.0
million. Securities held to maturity decreased by $5.0 million as the result of
securities maturing during the period.

The net $26.6 million, or 4.6%, increase in loans receivable and mortgage-backed
securities during the three months ended September 30, 2002, resulted from an
increase in loans receivable (including loans held for sale) of $28.0 million
and a decrease in mortgage-backed securities of $1.4 million. The increase of
$28.0 million in loans receivable included increases of $18.2 million in
single-family loans, $10.2 million in commercial real estate loans, $2.2 million
in construction loans and $0.1 million in consumer loans, offset by decreases of
$2.4 million in multi-family loans and $0.3 million in land loans. The decrease
in mortgage-backed securities resulted from payments received of $1.4 million.
The increase of the loan portfolio was attributable to economic conditions and
resulted in the Bank originating primarily fixed-rate loans available for sale.
The loan activity for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 resulted in no
material change to the composition of the portfolio.

Deposits increased by $4.9 million, or 1.0%, as a result of special promotional
rates offered with the opening of two new branch offices. Advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati increased by $10.0 million, or 8.3%, as a
result of management's decision to take advantage of historically low short-term
borrowing rates.

The increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $5.4 million, or
47.6%, is primarily the result of timing differences between the collection and
remittance of payments received on loans serviced for investors. The decrease in
advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $2.9 million, or 39.0%, is
due to timing differences between the collection and payment of escrow funds.
The decrease in notes payable of $0.5 million is the result of payments made on
notes payable.

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $5.2 million, proceeds from
maturing securities of $5.0 million, increases in deposits of $4.9 million and
advances of $10.0 million, the repayment of $1.4 million in mortgage-backed
securities, funds of $5.4 million collected on serviced loans, and earnings of
$1.7 million were used to fund the increase of $28.0 million in loans
receivable, fund the increase of $0.6 million in office properties and
equipment, pay a cash dividend of $0.4 million and offset the reduction in
advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $2.8 million.

Part I Financial Information
Item 2


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three months ended September 30, 2002
- --------------------- Compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2001.

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. 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.

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. In addition, net income is affected by the level
of operating expenses, loan loss provisions and market valuation write-down of
mortgage loan servicing rights.

The Company's net income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was
$1,687,000. This represents a $16,400, or 1.0%, increase when compared with the
prior year comparable period.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased by
$574,500, or 11.5%, as compared to the prior year comparable period, due to a
decrease of $1,485,000, or 11.5%, in total interest income and a decrease in
total interest expense of $2,059,500, or 26.1%, from the prior year comparable
period. The decrease in total interest income of $1,485,000 in the current
period resulted from a decrease of $1.9 million in the average balance of
interest-earning assets, along with a decline in the return on interest-earning
assets of 89 basis points from the prior year comparable period. The decrease in
total interest expense of $2,059,500 in the current period resulted from a
decrease in the average balances on deposits and borrowings of $6.4 million
along with a decrease of 131 basis points in the average cost of funds on
interest-bearing liabilities from the prior year comparable period. The
Company's net interest income increased primarily because of an increase of 42
basis points in the Company's interest-rate spread during the current period as
compared to the prior year comparable period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2002 no provision for loan losses was
recorded, while a provision for loan losses of $125,000 was recorded in the
prior year comparable period. The Company uses a systematic approach to
determine the adequacy of its loan loss allowance and the necessary provision
for loan losses. The loan

Page 8

Part I Financial Information
Item 2


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTINUED
- -------------------------------

portfolio is reviewed and delinquent loan accounts are analyzed individually on
a monthly basis, with respect to payment history, ability to repay, probability
of repayment, and loan-to-value percentage. Consideration is given to the types
of loans in the portfolio and the overall risk inherent in the portfolio. After
reviewing current economic conditions, changes to the size and composition of
the loan portfolio, changes in delinquency status, levels of non-accruing loans,
non-performing assets, impaired loans, and actual loan losses incurred by the
Company, management establishes an appropriate reserve percentage applicable to
each category of loans, and a provision for loan losses is recorded when
necessary to bring the allowance to a level consistent with this analysis. In
August 2002, management conducted a review of the reserve percentages applicable
to each category of loan and made adjustments to certain loan categories that
reflect current market risk conditions. Management believes it uses the best
information available to make a determination as to the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses.

During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company experienced an
increase in the loan portfolio of $28.0 million and an increase in the level of
classified assets of $2.5 million. In addition, the level of impaired loans
decreased by $0.2 million. Management determined it was not necessary to record
a provision for loan losses in the current period due to the application of
revised reserve percentages to certain loan categories and a decrease in
impaired loans. During the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Company
experienced increases in the level of impaired loans and classified assets of
$0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Despite a decrease in the loan
portfolio of $3.4 million, management determined it was necessary to record a
provision for loan losses of $125,000 in the period due to increases in the
levels of impaired loans and classified assets as well as changes to the overall
composition of the loan portfolio in the prior period. At September 30, 2002,
the allowance for loan losses was $3.9 million, which represented 51.4% of
nonperforming loans and 0.65% of net loans. At June 30, 2002, the allowance for
loan losses was $3.9 million, which represented 50.0% of nonperforming loans and
0.68% of net loans.

For the three months ended September 30, 2002, noninterest income decreased by
$31,400, or 4.0%, from the prior year comparable period. The decrease was
primarily the result of a decrease of $14,200, or 2.3%, in income from
mortgage-banking activities resulting from an increase of $110,200 in profit on
loan sales in the current period offset by a decrease of $124,400 in loan
servicing income. The decrease in loan servicing income is attributable to the
write-down of the future value of mortgage loan servicing rights that resulted
from declining market interest rates and an increased prepayment speed on loans
serviced for others. 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.

In addition, other noninterest income, net decreased by $10,700, or 30.8%, in
the current period primarily due to a decrease in income generated from internal
appraisals. Service and other fees decreased by $6,500, or 4.8%, from the prior
year comparable period, primarily due to decreases in loan service fee income in
the current period.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased by
$642,800, or 20.3%, from the prior year comparable period. This was primarily
the result of a $297,800, or 16.5%, increase in compensation and benefits
attributable to increased staffing, employee 401(k) benefits, incentive bonuses
paid, and salary and wage adjustments. In addition, office properties and
equipment increased by $125,700, or 20.2%, primarily due to the opening of two
new branch offices along with increases in office rental expense. Other
noninterest expense increased by $219,200, or 30.0%, due primarily to increases
in legal fees, advertising expense, costs for outside services attributable to
opening two new branch offices and the relocation of an existing branch office,
stationery printing and supplies, postage and special mail, and real estate
owned expense.

The federal income tax provision for the three-month period's ended September
30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 was at an effective rate of 33.2%.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The Company's liquidity measures its ability to fund loans and meet withdrawals
of deposits and other cash outflows in a cost-effective manner. Management
believes the Company maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its operational
needs.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- ----------------------------------------------------------

There have been no significant changes to the Company's interest rate risk
position or any changes to how the Company manages its Asset/Liability position
since June 30, 2002. This is attributable to the Company's Asset/Liability
Management policy of monitoring and matching the maturity and re-pricing
characteristics of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities,
while remaining short-term with the weighted average maturity and re-pricing
periods.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
- -----------------------

Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, we carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation,
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to
material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports. It
should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

In addition, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to
the date of their last evaluation.
