Quarterly Report


Item 2. 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2012 for the Company, the Bank, its principal and wholly-owned subsidiary, PVFSC, a wholly-owned real estate subsidiary, Mid Pines Land Company, a wholly-owned real estate subsidiary, and PVF Holdings, Inc., PVF Community Development and PVF Mortgage Corporation, three wholly-owned and currently inactive subsidiaries.

Historically, the Company recognized specific impairment on individual loans through the utilization of a specific valuation allowance, but did not charge off the impaired loan amount until the loan was disposed and removed from the loan accounting system. During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company implemented an enhanced loan accounting system, which provides for the systematic recording of charged-off loans for financial recognition without losing the ability to track the legal contractual amounts. As such, during the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company charged off those principal loan amounts which had previously been specifically impaired through a specific valuation allowance and continued to be carried in loans outstanding. In the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded charge-offs totaling $0.7 million. In addition to reducing loan balances, including nonperforming loans, this new enhanced loan accounting system had the impact of significantly elevating reported charge-offs for the period and reducing the allowance for loan losses associated with specific reserves. Since these charge-offs associated with the implementation of this loan accounting system were previously specifically reserved and included in the Company's historical loss factors, the allowance for loan losses did not need to be replenished after recording these charge-offs.

Financial Condition

Consolidated assets of the Company were $806.5 million as of March 31, 2012, an increase of approximately $19.4 million, or 2.5%, as compared to June 30, 2011. The Company's regulatory capital ratios for Tier 1 (core) capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, and total risk-based capital were 8.55%, 11.66%

and 12.93%, respectively, at March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012, the Company's cash and cash equivalents, which consist of cash, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold, totaled $134.5 million, a decrease of $14.8 million, or 9.9%, as compared to June 30, 2011. The change in the Company's cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold consisted of decreases in cash of $0.9 million, $19.9 million in interest-bearing deposits and $6.0 million of federal funds sold as the Company deployed a portion of its liquidity into securities.

The Company continued the origination of fixed-rate, single-family loans in its marketplace, with most originated for sale in the secondary market rather than for its portfolio. The origination and sale of fixed-rate loans has historically generated gains on sale and allowed the Company to increase its investment in loans serviced, without assuming the interest-rate risk associated with holding long-term fixed-rate assets, which facilitates the maintenance of stronger liquidity levels. Mortgage application volume has remained elevated in the current quarter, due to a low interest rate environment, and consisted predominantly of loan refinancing highly correlated to interest rate movements and levels. New home sales continue to remain weak in the current economic environment, limiting new home financing opportunities.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, mortgage-backed securities available for sale increased by $11.7 million primarily as a result of the purchase of $13.8 million in mortgage-backed securities, which was partially offset by principal repayments, amortization of book premium and changes in market value of available for sale mortgage-backed securities.

Securities available for sale increased by $15.3 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of the purchase of trust preferred securities totaling $18.9 million and the purchase of $5.0 million in agency securities available for sale, which was offset by calls exercised on agency securities totaling $8.9 million.

Loans receivable decreased by $13.7 million, or 2.4%, during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The Company continued its strategic focus on the origination of high quality commercial and industrial loans and select commercial real estate loans, experiencing growth in performing loans of approximately $11.4 million, or 2.2%, during this same period. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $2.6 million that included net new impairments totaling $1.9 million and $0.7 million related to previously recognized specific valuation allowances. The growth in the performing loan portfolio was more than offset by the desired decline in nonperforming loans due to the successful disposition of problem and nonperforming loans combined with the results of problem loan charge-offs. As previously discussed, the Company historically recognized specific impairment on individual loans through the use of specific valuation allowance, but did not charge off the impaired loan amount until the loan was disposed and removed from the loan accounting system. The loan balances were reported in the loan totals, including nonperforming loans, at the contractual amount and the specific allowance was included and reported as part of the allowance for loan losses. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company implemented an enhanced loan accounting system, which provides for the systematic recording of charged-off loans for financial recognition without losing its ability to track the legal contractual amounts. As such, during the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company charged off those loan amounts which had previously been specifically impaired through the use of a specific valuation allowance, totaling approximately $0.7 million and $11.8 million, respectively. In addition to reducing loan balances, including nonperforming loans, the implementation of this new enhanced loan accounting system had the impact of elevating reported charge-offs for the period and reducing the allowance for loan losses associated with specific valuation allowances. The remaining decline in nonperforming loans was the result of net dispositions and transfers to other real estate owned. The Company continues to sell almost all new residential loan production in the secondary market in this interest rate

environment, as the Company manages its interest rate and liquidity risk along with its capital ratios. As the Company continues to make meaningful progress in its problem asset resolution, it intends to continue accelerating the origination of commercial and industrial loans for its portfolio as part of its plan to diversify the balance sheet.

The Company does not originate sub-prime loans and only originates Alt A loans for sale, without recourse, in the secondary market. The Company considers subprime borrowers typically to have weakened credit histories that include payment delinquencies and possibly more severe problems such as charge-offs, judgments and bankruptcies. They may also display reduced repayment capacity as measured by credit scores, debt-to-income ratios, or other criteria that may encompass borrowers with incomplete credit histories. Subprime loans are loans to borrowers displaying one or more of these characteristics at the time of origination or purchase. The Company also does not originate any hybrid loans, low-doc/no-doc loans or payment option ARMs. All one-to-four family loans are underwritten according to agency underwriting standards. Exceptions, if any, are submitted to the Company's board loan committee for approval. Any exposure the Company may have to these types of loans is immaterial.

The increase of $7.0 million in loans receivable held for sale as of March 31, 2012 was the result of increased new loan originations and timing differences between the origination and the sale of loans. One-to-four family mortgage application volume has remained elevated in the current period as a result of lower interest rates, resulting in higher refinancing activity and related revenue.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, other real estate owned increased $1.6 million. The activity for the period consisted of the addition of 12 single-family properties, 3 land properties and 7 nonresidential real estate properties totaling approximately $8.2 million, offset by the disposal of 26 single-family properties totaling $2.5 million, 5 land properties totaling $0.8 million, and 9 nonresidential properties totaling $3.3 million. The Company realized a net loss of approximately $0.4 million on the disposition of these properties. The Company also recorded an impairment charge of $1.3 million on the carrying amount of real estate still in inventory at March 31, 2012, based on updated valuations and market conditions. At March 31, 2012, the Company held 41 properties, totaling $9.6 million in other real estate owned. The other real estate owned included 14 single-family properties, 17 land properties, and 10 commercial properties.

The Company generally seeks to fund loan activity and liquidity by generating deposits through its branch network and through the use of various borrowing facilities. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company's funding needs increased as a result of increases in investment securities. Deposits increased by $14.6 million, or 2.2%, which was a result of an increase of $35.9 million in non-maturing deposits partially offset by a decrease of $21.3 million in retail certificates of deposit. The decline in retail certificates of deposit was strategically directed as part of management's relationship pricing initiative which targeted rate sensitive, non-relationship deposits for reduction coupled with an emphasis on increasing commercial deposits. Management will continue to modify its noncore deposit strategies to support the funding needs of the Company's loan activities, while maintaining appropriate liquidity levels, as it executes its strategies to diversify its funding mix by expanding core deposit relationships and building business deposits. During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company introduced its new suite of deposit products, including enhanced business deposit products and services.

The decrease in advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $3.3 million for the period ended March 31, 2012 was attributable to timing differences between the collection and payment of taxes and insurance. The increase of $9.7 million in accrued expenses and other liabilities was primarily the result of timing differences between the collection and remittance of funds received on loans serviced for investors.

Results of Operations: Three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to three months ended March 31, 2011.

The Company'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 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, the collectibility of loans, and deposit flows. Net interest income also includes amortization of loan origination fees, net of origination costs.

The Company'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. In addition, net income is affected by the level of operating expenses, loan loss provisions, and costs associated with the acquisition, maintenance and disposal of real estate.

The Company recognized a net profit for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, for the prior-year comparable period. This represents a decrease in the loss recognized of $3.2 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, when compared with the prior-year comparable period. The primary cause of the change was a lower level of provision for loan losses and a higher level of net interest income, partially offset by lower noninterest income and higher operating expenses.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by $0.7 million, or 13.4%, as compared to the prior-year comparable period. Both interest income and interest expense decreased in the current period, with a larger decline realized in interest expense. Total interest income decreased $0.5 million during the current period compared with the same period in the prior year, as a result of a decrease of $23.5 million in the average balance of loans outstanding along with a $24.5 million decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities. Total interest expense declined $1.1 million from a year ago, partially due to a $50.0 million decline in borrowing related to the maturity of the repurchase agreement borrowing in March 2011. The increase in net interest income was attributable to an increase of 54 basis points in the interest-rate spread due to the change in the funding sources to a more favorable funding mix which lowered overall funding costs, partially offset by a less favorable mix of interest-earning assets. This overall mix improvement was more than offset by a lower volume of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the prior-year comparable period.

Total average interest-earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were $40.3 million lower, compared to the comparable quarter in 2011. Average loan balances continued to be impacted by loan payments and payoffs, which are not being totally replaced by new portfolio loan production, as well as loan charge-offs and problem loan disposition contributing to the overall decline. Also contributing to the lower level of average interest-earning assets was the $24.5 million decline in the average balance of

mortgage-backed securities which were substantially sold during the period ended June 30, 2011 as part of the balance sheet repositioning. The impact of lower loan balances was partially offset by higher average investments and cash and cash equivalents, but funds were reinvested at substantially lower yields.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, total average interest-bearing liabilities were $39.5 million lower than the comparable quarter in 2011. This resulted primarily from the deleveraging that occurred as part of the maturity in March 2011 of a $50.0 million repurchase agreement which was funded from the Company's overnight liquidity position. Average deposit balances were higher by $7.9 million as the Company reduced term deposits and increased transactional deposits in the current-year period compared with the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, a provision for loan losses of $2.0 million was recorded to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered by management to be appropriate, based on management's evaluation of relevant factors, including the risk characteristics and trends of the loan portfolio, historic and current loss experience, current economic conditions and underlying collateral valuations. The provision for loan losses remained flat compared with the same period of the prior year while the level of classified and nonperforming loans declined as compared to the prior period. As of December 31, 2011, the Company implemented an enhanced loan accounting system, which provides for the systematic recording of charged-off loans for financial recognition without losing its ability to track the legal contractual amounts. As such, during the current period, the Company charged off those loan amounts which had previously been specifically impaired, totaling approximately $0.7 million. As of March 31, 2012, any remaining specific impairments known in prior periods as specific valuation allowances are now tracked as specific allocations to the allowance. In addition to reducing loan balances, including nonperforming loans, this new enhanced loan accounting system had the impact of elevating reported charge-offs for the period and reducing the allowance for loan losses associated with specific reserves. The Company also recorded net charge offs of approximately $1.9 million related to loans whose impairment was recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The remaining $8.3 million decline in nonperforming loans is the result of net dispositions and transfers to other real estate owned. The activity associated with nonperforming assets and the allowance for loan losses is detailed in the table below.

The provision for loan losses for the current period reflects management's judgments about the credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio. As of March 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses no longer consists of a specific component and a general component. Rather, the allowance for loan losses maintains specific allocations where appropriate on nonperforming loans where known risks have been identified but no clear loss has been quantified or deemed appropriate to be taken.

The following is a breakdown of the allowance for loan losses:

                                     March 31, 2012       June 30, 2011

The allowance for loan losses was 3.0% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2012, compared with 5.19% at June 30, 2011. As previously noted, during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the loan balance charge-offs associated with the implementation of the enhanced loan accounting system and with loans whose specific impairment has been previously recognized, significantly lowered the level of the allowance for loan losses. Since these charge-offs were previously specifically reserved and included in the Company's historical loss factors, the allowance for loan losses did not need to be replenished after recording of these charge-offs. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans increased to 71.9% at March 31, 2012, compared with 59.6% at June 30, 2011, which is attributable to the ongoing reduction in nonperforming loan balances.

The loan portfolio is segregated into categories based on collateral type and a loss factor is applied to each category. The initial basis for each loss factor is the Company's loss experience for each category. Historical loss percentages are calculated based on transfers from the general reserve to the specific reserve, indicating a loss has been incurred, for each risk category during the historical period and dividing the total by the average balance of each category. Presently, historical loss percentages are updated on a monthly basis using an 18-month rolling average. Subjective adjustments are made to the Company's historical experience, including consideration of trends in delinquencies and classified loans, portfolio growth, national and local economic and business conditions including unemployment, bankruptcy and foreclosures and effectiveness of credit administration, as appropriate.

A provision for loan losses is recorded when necessary to bring the allowance to . . .
