                        MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following analysis discusses changes in the financial condition and results
of operations at and for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 for PVF
Capital Corp. ("PVF" or the "Company").


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Consolidated assets of PVF were $383.3 million as of September 30, 1997, an
increase of approximately $10.2 million or 2.7% 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 7.38%,
7.38% and 10.55% respectively at September 30, 1997.

During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Bank's cash and cash
equivalents, which consist of cash, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds
sold, decreased $0.8 million or 8.4% as compared to June 30, 1997.  The change
in the Bank's cash and cash equivalents consisted of a decrease in cash and
interest- bearing deposits of $3.8 million and an increase in federal funds sold
of $3.0 million.

The net $13.6 million or 4.0% increase in loans receivable during the three
months ended September 30, 1997 was the result of an increase of $13.9 million
in real estate mortgage loans and a decrease of $0.3 million in installment
loans.  The increase of $13.9 million in real estate mortgage loans included an
increase of $4.7 million in one-to-four family residential loans, an increase in
construction and land loans of $4.0 million, and an increase of $5.2 million in
commercial real estate and multi-family loans.  The increase of $1.4 million in
real estate owned consists of $0.2 million in one-to-four family residential
loans and $1.2 million in land loans, and was attributable to one borrower.

During the three months ended September 30, 1997, management's decision to
compete aggressively with market savings rates to attract new deposits resulted
in an increase of $26.5 million, or 9.2%, in deposits.  This $26.5 million in
new deposits along with the maturity of $5.0 million in investment securities
were used to repay $16.5 million, or 34.8%, in advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Cincinnati ("FHLB"), repay $0.3 million in notes payable, and fund
the net growth of $13.6 million in the loan portfolio.

FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)

The decrease in advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $1.8 million
is attributable to timing differences between the collection and payment of
escrow funds.  The increases of approximately $1.0 million in both prepaid
expenses and other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities is
primarily the result of the Bank's investment of $1.3 million in a low- income
affordable housing limited partnership and a $1.0 million obligation to make
future installment payments to the partnership.  The Bank's entry into this
partnership will result in the recognition of future tax credits and federal
income tax deductions, provided the project remains in compliance as a qualified
low-income housing project.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS   Three months ended September 30, 1997,
                        compared to three months ended
                        September 30, 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 and mortgage-backed securities.  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 Bank'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 September 30, 1997 was
$1,261,000 as compared to a loss of $11,000 for the prior year comparable
period.  The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was due to a
one-time charge 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 legislation enacted to
recapitalize the SAIF.  Excluding the impact to earnings of the SAIF assessment,
earnings from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 were
$1,116,000.  Comparing this amount to

RESULTS OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)

earnings from operations for the three month period ended September 30, 1997
resulted in an increase of $145,000, or 13.0%, for the current year comparable
period.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 decreased by
$8,000, or 0.2%, from the prior year comparable period.  Interest income
increased by $660,000, or 8.8%, as a result of an increase of $41.5 million in
the average balance of interest-earning assets which was partially offset by a
31 basis point decrease in the average return on interest-earning assets from
the prior year comparable period.  The average balance on interest-bearing
liabilities increased by $37.0 million from the prior year comparable period.
This increased balance along with a 22 basis point increase in the average cost
of funds for the current period resulted in an overall increase in interest
expense of $668,000 or 16.6%.  Despite balance sheet growth in both
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the Bank's net
interest income decreased slightly due to a decrease of 53 basis points in its
interest rate spread during the current period as compared to the prior year
comparable period.  The decrease in net interest income and interest rate spread
for the period ended September 30, 1997, as compared to the prior year
comparable period, is the result of both a flatter yield curve during the
current period and the write-off of $190,000 in interest receivable on
nonperforming loans in the current period.  The write-off of interest receivable
was primarily attributable to the acquisition into real estate owned of property
held by one individual borrower.

For the three months ended September 30, 1997, a provision for loan losses of
$45,000 was recorded, while no provision was required for the three months ended
September 30, 1996.  These 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.  At September 30, 1997, the allowance for loan
losses was $2.6 million, which represented 82.5% of nonperforming loans and 0.7%
of net loans.

For the three months ended September 30, 1997, noninterest income increased
$191,000 or 81.8% from the prior year comparable period.  This was primarily
attributable to an increase of $152,000 in income from mortgage-banking
activities that resulted from a net gain on loans sold and securitized, net of
mortgage banking provisions, during 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
either selling such loans to the FHLMC or the FNMA or swapping those loans with
the FHLMC or the FNMA in exchange for mortgage-backed securities which were
subsequently sold.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1997 decreased by
$1,750,000 or 46.6% from the prior year comparable   period.  This was primarily
the result of the previously noted SAIF assessment of $1,708,000 in the prior
period.

The federal income tax provision for the three-month period ended September 30,
1997 increased by $616,000 to $626,000 for the current year comparable period as
compared to $10,000 for the prior year comparable period.  This was due to the
absense of taxable income in the prior year comparable period resulting from the
deductibility of the SAIF assessment.


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 OTS is 5% of the sum of net withdrawable
savings and borrowings due within one year.  The Bank's liquidity at September
30, 1997 was 5.6%.  Management believes the Bank has sufficient liquidity to
meet its operational needs.
