                           Camco Financial Corporation

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were
         prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore,
         do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete
         presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash
         flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
         the United States of America. Accordingly, these financial statements
         should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
         statements and notes thereto of Camco Financial Corporation ("Camco" or
         the "Corporation") included in Camco's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
         the year ended December 31, 2000. However, all adjustments (consisting
         only of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management,
         are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
         statements, have been included. The results of operations for the nine
         and three month periods ended September 30, 2001, are not necessarily
         indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.

         In January 2000, the Corporation acquired Westwood Homestead Financial
         Corporation ("Westwood Financial") utilizing the purchase method of
         accounting (the "Merger"). Westwood Financial was merged into the
         Corporation upon consummation of the Merger and Westwood Financial's
         banking subsidiary, Westwood Homestead Savings Bank, continued
         operations as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. Camco paid
         $11.1 million in cash and issued 1,304,875 of its common shares in
         connection with the Merger.

         On June 1, 2001, Camco's five wholly-owned community bank subsidiaries,
         Cambridge Savings Bank, Marietta Savings Bank, First Federal Savings
         Bank of Washington Court House, First Federal Bank for Savings and
         Westwood Homestead Savings Bank, merged under the Cambridge Savings
         Bank charter. At the effective time of the merger, Cambridge Savings
         Bank was re-named Advantage Bank ("Advantage" or the "Bank"). Advantage
         is headquartered in Cambridge, Ohio and each of the former banks
         operate as separate divisions of Advantage Bank.

2.       Principles of Consolidation

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
         of Camco and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Advantage Bank and
         Camco Title Insurance Agency, Inc., as well as two second tier
         subsidiaries, Camco Mortgage Corporation and WestMar Mortgage Company.
         All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
         eliminated.

3.       Earnings Per Share

         Basic earnings per share for the nine and three month periods ended
         September 30, 2001, is computed based on 6,961,160 and 6,987,461
         weighted-average shares outstanding during the respective periods.

         Basic earnings per share for the nine and three month periods ended
         September 30, 2000, is computed based on 6,909,532 and 6,931,898
         weighted-average shares outstanding during the respective periods.

         Diluted earnings per share is computed taking into consideration common
         shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares to be issued
         under the Corporation's stock option plans. Weighted-average common
         shares deemed outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


3.       Earnings Per Share (continued)

         per share totaled 7,053,690 and 7,102,921 for the nine and three month
         periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively, and 6,951,009 and
         6,978,301 for the nine and three month periods ended September 30,
         2000, respectively.

         Incremental shares related to the assumed exercise of stock options
         included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine
         and three month periods ended September 30, 2001, totaled 92,530 and
         115,460, and for the nine and three month periods ended September 30,
         2000, totaled 41,477 and 46,403, respectively.

         Options to purchase 252,152 and 65,416 shares of common stock with a
         respective weighted-average exercise price of $13.11 and $14.84 were
         outstanding at September 30, 2001, but were excluded from the
         computation of common share equivalents for the nine and three month
         periods ended September 30, 2001, because the exercise prices were
         greater than the average market price of the common shares.

         Options to purchase 432,795 shares of common stock with a
         weighted-average exercise price of $12.16 were outstanding at September
         30, 2000, but were excluded from the computation of common share
         equivalents for the nine and three month periods ended September 30,
         2000, because the exercise prices were greater than the average market
         price of the common shares.

4.       Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
         issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 140
         "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
         Extinguishments of Liabilities," which revises the standards for
         accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets
         and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but carries over most
         of the provisions of SFAS No. 125 without reconsideration. SFAS No. 140
         is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
         extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The
         Statement is effective for recognition and reclassification of
         collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions
         and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000.
         Management adopted SFAS No. 140 effective April 1, 2001, as required,
         without material effect on the Corporation's financial position or
         results of operations.

         In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations,"
         which requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30,
         2001 be accounted for using the purchase method. The
         pooling-of-interests method of accounting is prohibited except for
         combinations initiated before June 30, 2001. The remaining provisions
         of SFAS No. 141 relating to business combinations accounted for by the
         purchase method, including identification of intangible assets,
         accounting for negative goodwill and financial statement presentation
         and disclosure, are effective for combinations completed after June 30,
         2001. Management adopted SFAS No. 141 effective July 1, 2001, as
         required, without material effect on the Corporation's financial
         position or results of operations.

         In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Intangible
         Assets," which prescribes accounting for all purchased goodwill and
         intangible assets. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, acquired goodwill is not
         amortized, but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level
         annually and whenever an impairment indicator arises. All goodwill
         should be assigned to reporting units that are


                                        9

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


4.       Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

         expected to benefit from the goodwill. When an entity reorganizes its
         reporting structure, goodwill should be reallocated to reporting units
         based on the relative fair values of the units. Goodwill impairment
         should be tested with a two-step approach. First, the fair value of the
         reporting unit should be compared to its carrying value, including
         goodwill. If the reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair
         value, then any goodwill impairment should be measured as the excess of
         the goodwill's carrying value over its implied fair value. The implied
         fair value of goodwill should be calculated in the same manner as
         goodwill is calculated for a business combination, using the reporting
         units' fair value as the "purchase price." Therefore, the goodwill's
         implied fair value will be the excess of the "purchase price" over the
         amounts allocated to assets, including unrecognized intangible assets,
         and liabilities of the reporting unit. Goodwill impairment losses
         should be reported in the income statement as a separate line item
         within operations, except for such losses included in the calculation
         of a gain or loss from discontinued operations.

         An acquired intangible asset, other than goodwill, should be amortized
         over its useful economic life. The useful life of an intangible asset
         is indefinite if it extends beyond the foreseeable horizon. If an
         asset's life is indefinite, the asset should not be amortized until the
         life is determined to be finite. Intangible assets being amortized
         should be tested for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121.
         Intangible assets not being amortized should be tested for impairment,
         annually and whenever there are indicators of impairment, by comparing
         the asset's fair value to its carrying amount.

         SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
         2001. Early adoption is permitted for companies with fiscal years
         beginning after March 15, 2001, but only if the first quarter financial
         statements have not previously been issued. Calendar year end companies
         may not adopt early. Until adoption of SFAS No. 142, existing goodwill
         continues to be amortized and tested for impairment under previously
         existing standards. As of the date SFAS No. 142 is adopted and based on
         the company's current reporting structure, reporting units should be
         established; net assets should be assigned to reporting units, unless
         they do not relate to a reporting unit; and goodwill should be assigned
         to one or more reporting units.

         Within nine months of adopting SFAS No. 142, a company must have
         completed the first step of the goodwill transitional impairment test:
         a comparison, as of the beginning of the fiscal year, of each reporting
         unit's fair value with its carrying value. If the carrying value
         exceeds fair value, the second step - calculating the amount of
         goodwill impairment as of the beginning of the fiscal year - would be
         required as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the fiscal
         year. Any transitional impairment loss would be reported as a change in
         accounting principle in the first interim period financial statements
         of the implementation year, regardless of when the loss measurement is
         completed. After completion of the first step of the transitional test,
         a company should disclose which segments might have to recognize an
         impairment loss and when the potential loss would be measured.

         If an impairment indicator arises before the completion of the
         transition testing, a full impairment test would be required as soon as
         possible. Any goodwill impairment resulting from this test should be
         reported as an impairment loss, not as a change in accounting
         principle. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 will result in the elimination
         of annual goodwill amortization charges of approximately $150,000.

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

     For the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000


Discussion  of Financial  Condition  Changes from December 31, 2000 to September
30, 2001

At September 30, 2001, Camco's consolidated assets totaled $1.0 billion, a
decrease of $30.7 million, or 3.0%, from the December 31, 2000 total. The
decrease in total assets consisted primarily of decreases in loans receivable
and investment securities, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing
deposits. The decrease in assets resulted from a $50.5 million decrease in
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, which was partially offset by a $17.0
million increase in deposits and a $4.8 million increase in stockholders'
equity.

Cash and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions totaled $82.2
million at September 30, 2001, an increase of $58.1 million, or 241.5%, over
December 31, 2000 levels. Investment securities totaled $6.7 million at
September 30, 2001, a decrease of $10.2 million, or 60.3%, from the total at
December 31, 2000. Purchases of investment securities totaled $7.0 million,
while maturities amounted to $17.2 million during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2001. Proceeds from principal repayments on loans and maturities
of investment securities have contributed to growth in cash and cash equivalents
while management researches viable alternatives for redeployment.

Mortgage-backed securities totaled $17.5 million at September 30, 2001, an
increase of $2.3 million, or 15.4%, over December 31, 2000. Mortgage-backed
securities purchases totaled $5.5 million, while principal repayments totaled
$3.3 million.

Loans receivable, including loans held for sale, decreased by $82.4 million, or
8.9%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to a total of $848.2
million. The decrease resulted primarily from principal repayments of $208.8
million and loan sales of $126.2 million, which were partially offset by loan
disbursements, including purchased loans, which totaled $254.8 million. The
volume of loans originated and purchased during the 2001 nine-month period was
less than that of the 2000 period by $7.2 million, or 2.8%, while the volume of
loan sales increased by $43.1 million year to year.

As interest rates in the economy have declined over the first nine months of
2001, consumer preference has shifted to long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans to
fund home purchases and to refinance current loans. Camco's loan production in
this lower interest rate environment has clearly shifted to fixed-rate mortgage
loans and Camco will continue its asset/liability management strategy of selling
low-yielding, long-term, fixed-rate loans.

Nonperforming loans (90 days or more delinquent plus nonaccrual loans) totaled
$6.8 million and $4.7 million at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000,
respectively, constituting .81% and .51% of total net loans, including loans
held for sale, at those dates. At September 30, 2001, nonperforming loans
consisted primarily of one- to four-family residential properties which
management believes are adequately collateralized. The consolidated allowance
for loan losses totaled $3.3 million and $2.9 million at September 30, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, respectively, representing 48.4% and 61.5% of nonperforming
loans, respectively, at those dates. Although management believes that its
allowance for loan losses is adequate based upon the available facts and
circumstances at September 30, 2001, there can be no assurance that additions to
such allowance will not be necessary in future periods, which could adversely
affect Camco's results of operations.

     For the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000


Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 2000 to September
30, 2001 (continued)

Deposits totaled $649.3 million at September 30, 2001, an increase of $17.0
million, or 2.7%, over December 31, 2000 levels. The increase resulted primarily
from management's continuing efforts to achieve growth in deposits through
marketing and pricing strategies. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") decreased by $50.5 million, or 16.1%, to a total of $262.9 million at
September 30, 2001. The proceeds from deposit growth, and a portion of the
excess liquidity resulting from repayments on loans receivable and proceeds from
loan sales, were used to repay FHLB borrowings during the period.

Advantage is required to maintain minimum regulatory capital pursuant to federal
regulations. At September 30, 2001, the Bank's regulatory capital exceeded all
regulatory capital requirements.


Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001
and 2000

General

Camco's profitability depends primarily on the level of its net interest income,
which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets,
principally loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, and
interest expense on deposit accounts and borrowings. In recent years, Camco's
net earnings have been heavily influenced by the level of other income,
particularly gains on sale of loans. Camco's operations are also influenced by
the level of general, administrative and other expenses, including employee
compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment and data processing, as well
as various other operating expense categories, including federal income tax
expense.

Camco's net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 totaled $6.0
million, an increase of $316,000, or 5.5%, over the $5.7 million of net earnings
reported in the comparable 2000 period. Camco's results for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, included a $1.1 million pre-tax restructuring charge
related to the consolidation of Camco's five bank subsidiaries in June 2001. The
restructuring charge was primarily comprised of one-time compensation charges
and professional fees associated with the consolidation. Camco anticipates that
the approximate pre-tax savings from the restructuring, coupled with other
personnel reductions, may amount to $1.7 million in 2002. Excluding the
restructuring charge, the Corporation's net earnings for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, would have totaled $6.7 million, representing an increase of
$1.0 million, or 18.1%, over the reported net earnings for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000.

The $316,000 increase in net earnings for the nine months ended September 30,
2001, was primarily attributable to a $630,000 increase in other income and a
$101,000 decrease in the provision for federal income taxes, which were
partially offset by a $280,000 increase in general, administrative and other
expense, a $27,000 increase in the provision for losses on loans and a $108,000
decrease in net interest income.

     For the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000


Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001
and 2000 (continued)

Net Interest Income

Total interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, amounted to
$56.6 million, an increase of $385,000, or .7%, over the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000, generally reflecting the growth in average interest-earning
assets outstanding of approximately $29.2 million, or 3.1%.

Interest income on loans and mortgage-backed securities totaled $53.8 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $137,000, or .3%,
from the comparable 2000 period. The decrease resulted primarily from a 6 basis
point decline in average yield, to 7.83% in the 2001 period, which was partially
offset by a $4.8 million, or .5%, increase in the average balance outstanding.
Interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets
increased by $522,000, or 23.3%, due primarily to a $24.3 million, or 56.6%,
increase in the average balance outstanding year to year, offset by a 147 basis
point decrease in average yield, to 5.46% in the 2001 period.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $3.1 million, or 14.9%, to a total of
$23.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, due primarily to a
$66.7 million, or 11.5%, increase in average deposits outstanding year to year,
which was partially offset by a 14 basis point decrease in the average cost of
deposits, to 4.93% for the 2001 period. Interest expense on borrowings totaled
$13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $2.6
million, or 16.6%, from the 2000 nine-month period. The decrease resulted
primarily from a $42.1 million, or 12.8%, decrease in the average balance
outstanding year to year, coupled with a 28 basis point decrease in average cost
of borrowings to 6.09% in the 2001 period.

As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest expense,
net interest income decreased by $108,000, or .5%, to a total of $19.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The interest rate spread decreased
to approximately 2.38% at September 30, 2001, from 2.49% at September 30, 2000,
while the net interest margin decreased to approximately 2.65% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, compared to 2.74% for the 2000 period.

Provision for Losses on Loans

A provision for losses on loans is charged to earnings to bring the total
allowance for loan losses to a level considered appropriate by management based
on historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Bank,
the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic
conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to the Bank's market areas
and other factors related to the collectibility of the Bank's loan portfolio.
Management elected to record a provision for losses on loans totaling $458,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $27,000, or 6.3%,
over the comparable period in 2000. The current period provision generally
reflects the increase in the level of nonperforming loans during 2001. There can
be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover
losses on nonperforming loans in the future.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001
and 2000 (continued)

Other Income

Other income totaled $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
an increase of $630,000, or 15.0%, over the comparable 2000 period. The increase
in other income was primarily attributable to a $1.1 million, or 72.8%, increase
in gain on sale of loans, an increase of $561,000, or 36.8%, in late charges,
rent and other and a $120,000, or 22.6%, increase in service charges and fees on
deposits, which were substantially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in loan
servicing fees. The increase in gain on sale of loans was due to the 51.9%
increase in sales volume, as a result of the demand for fixed-rate loans in the
declining interest rate environment. The increase in late charges, rent and
other was due primarily to an increase in income at Camco's title insurance
agency subsidiary, as well as increases in insurance and other transaction fees
year to year. The decrease in loan servicing fees was primarily due to a $1.4
million charge related to the mortgage servicing rights asset, based upon the
Corporation's ongoing fair value analysis of the mortgage servicing rights
asset.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense totaled $15.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $280,000, or 1.9%, over the
comparable period in 2000. Exclusive of a $1.1 million restructuring charge,
general, administrative and other expense would have totaled $14.0 million, a
decrease of $808,000, or 5.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Exclusive of the
restructuring charge, employee compensation and benefits decreased by $1.0
million, or 15.2%, and advertising decreased by $22,000, or 3.9%, which were
partially offset by an increase in occupancy and equipment of $95,000, or 4.2%,
an increase in data processing of $60,000, or 6.0%, and an increase in other
operating expenses of $64,000, or 2.1%. The decrease in employee compensation
and benefits was primarily attributable to a decrease in staffing levels due to
employee retirements, attrition, and the closing of unprofitable loan production
offices. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense was due to an increase
in depreciation expense period to period. Data processing expense increased over
the comparable 2000 period due to costs relating to implementation of an
internal wide area network and continued growth.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes totaled $2.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $101,000, or 3.5%, from the nine months
ended September 30, 2000. The Corporation's effective tax rate amounted to 31.8%
and 33.7% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The decrease in the provision for federal income taxes was
primarily attributable to refunds claimed for prior years' tax liabilities.

Comparison  of Results of  Operations  for the Three Months Ended  September 30,
2001 and 2000

General

Camco's net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2001 totaled $2.4
million, an increase of $205,000, or 9.5%, over the $2.1 million of net earnings
reported in the comparable 2000 period. The increase in earnings was primarily
attributable to an increase in other income of $147,000 and a decrease in
general, administrative and other expense of $212,000, which were partially
offset by a decrease in net interest income of $79,000 and increases in the
provision for loan losses of $14,000 and federal income tax expense of $61,000.

Net Interest Income

Total interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2001, amounted to
$18.1 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 7.5%, compared to the three-month
period ended September 30, 2000, generally reflecting the effects of the
decrease in average interest-earning assets of approximately $24.8 million, or
2.5%.

Interest income on loans and mortgage-backed securities totaled $17.1 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $1.6 million, or
8.7%, from the comparable 2000 period. The decrease resulted primarily from a
$61.5 million, or 6.5%, decrease in the average balance outstanding year to
year. Interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets
increased by $168,000, or 21.2%, due primarily to a $36.7 million, or 80.0%,
increase in the average balance outstanding year to year, partially offset by a
decrease in the yield of 48 basis points, from 5.13% to 4.65% for the
three-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $113,000, or 1.5%, to a total of $7.7
million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, due primarily to a $50.2
million, or 8.3%, increase in average deposits outstanding, partially offset by
a 32 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits, to 4.71% in the
current quarter. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $4.1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 26.8%,
from the 2000 three-month period. The decrease resulted primarily from a $76.3
million, or 22.3%, decrease in the average balance outstanding year to year.

As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest expense,
net interest income decreased by $79,000, or 1.2%, to a total of $6.3 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The interest rate spread
increased to approximately 2.33% at September 30, 2001, from 2.29% at September
30, 2000, while the net interest margin increased to approximately 2.58% for the
three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to 2.55% for the 2000 period.

Comparison  of Results of  Operations  for the Three Months Ended  September 30,

Provision for Losses on Loans

As a result of an analysis of historical experience, the volume and type of
lending conducted by the Bank, the status of past due principal and interest
payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to
the Bank's market areas and other factors related to the collectibility of the
Bank's loan portfolio, management elected to record a provision for losses on
loans totaling $152,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001, an
increase of $14,000, or 10.1%, over the comparable period in 2000. The current
period provision was predicated primarily on the increase in the level of
nonperforming loans. There can be no assurance that the allowance for loan
losses will be adequate to cover losses on nonperforming assets in the future.

Other Income

Other income totaled $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001,
an increase of $147,000, or 8.3%, over the comparable 2000 period. The increase
in other income was primarily attributable to a $216,000, or 22.8%, increase in
gain on sale of loans, an increase of $212,000, or 40.2%, in late charges, rent
and other and a $39,000, or 20.7%, increase in service charges and fees on
deposits, which were partially offset by a decrease of $385,000 in loan
servicing fees. The increase in gain on sale of loans was due to the increase in
sales volume, as a result of the demand for fixed-rate loans in the declining
interest rate environment. The increase in late charges, rent and other was due
primarily to an increase in fees from Camco's title agency subsidiary, as well
as increases in insurance fees and other fees on loans and deposits
transactions. The decrease in loan servicing fees was primarily due to a
$590,000 charge related to the mortgage servicing rights asset. This charge was
based upon the Corporation's ongoing fair value analysis of the mortgage
servicing rights asset.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense totaled $4.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $212,000, or 4.4%, from the
comparable period in 2000. Employee compensation and benefits decreased by
$279,000, or 12.8%, partially offset by an increase of $19,000, or 2.5%, in
occupancy and equipment and a $27,000, or 10.3%, increase in franchise taxes.
The decrease in employee compensation and benefits was primarily attributable to
a decrease in staffing levels due to employee retirements and attrition. The
increase in occupancy expense was due to an increase in depreciation expense
period-to-period.

months ended September 30, 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to a
$266,000, or 8.3%, increase in pre-tax earnings, which was partially offset by
refunds claimed of prior years' tax liabilities. The Corporation's effective tax
rate amounted to 32.3% and 33.1% for the three-month periods ended September 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There has been no material change in the Corporation's market risk since the
Corporation's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for
the year ended December 31, 2000.

Business Combination

In June 2001, Camco and Columbia Financial of Kentucky, Inc. ("Columbia
Financial") announced the signing of a definitive agreement for Camco to acquire
Columbia Financial. Columbia Financial's community bank subsidiary, Columbia
Federal Savings Bank, will merge into Camco's Advantage Bank subsidiary and
operate as a division of the Bank under the name Columbia Savings Bank.

The agreement provides for Columbia Financial shareholders to receive .3681
share of Camco common stock and $6.90 cash for each Columbia Financial share,
subject to various closing conditions. The initial transaction value was
approximately $30.2 million on a fully-diluted basis.

The merger, which will be accounted for as a purchase, is expected to be
consummated in November 2001.

At March 31, 2001, Columbia Financial reported assets of $108.4 million,
deposits of $78.5 million and tangible equity of $29.1 million. Columbia
Financial is headquartered in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky and Columbia Federal
