SECTION 2 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.01.        Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
---------         ---------------------------------------------------

                  Camco Financial Corporation, a Delaware Corporation,
("Camco"), completed the acquisition of London Financial Corporation, an Ohio
Corporation ("London"), on August 20, 2004 pursuant to the terms and conditions
of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 26, 2004, as amended on May 17,
2004 (the "Agreement"), by and among Camco, Advantage Bank, an Ohio savings bank
("Advantage"), London, and The Citizens Bank of London, an Ohio bank
("Citizens"). The acquisition was completed through a two-step process. First,
London merged with and into Camco, immediately followed by the merger of
Advantage with and into Citizens. As a result of these mergers, Camco acquired
all of the equipment and other physical property of London and Citizens, all of
which was used in Citizens' banking business. Camco intends to use the assets
acquired in the manner utilized by London and Citizens prior to the acquisition.
The following is a summary of some of the material terms and conditions of the
Agreement.

                  In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of
the Agreement, each of the outstanding shares of London (other than shares held
by London (including treasury shares) or Camco or any of their respective
wholly-owned subsidiaries) were canceled and extinguished on August 20, 2004 in
exchange for the right to receive, at the election of each London shareholder:
(a) $26.50 in cash, (b) 1.56342 shares of common stock of Camco, or (c) a
combination of cash and Camco stock (the "Merger Consideration"). Elections made
by London shareholders may be pro rated so that the aggregate cash consideration
to be received by London shareholders equals $26.50 multiplied by 50% of the
total number of London shares outstanding on August 20, 2004. Camco is using
existing cash to fund the cash portion of the Merger Consideration.

                  On August 20, 2004, there were approximately 356,037 shares of
London issued and outstanding and 52,900 shares of London subject to outstanding
options. On August 20, 2004, each outstanding option to acquire London shares
was cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive a cash
payment from Camco equal to $16.50 multiplied by the number of vested and
unexercised shares subject to such option.
