SECTION 2 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.02  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

      On April 22, 2005, Camco Financial Corporation ("Camco") issued a press
release regarding its earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The press
release is attached as Exhibit 99 hereto and is incorporated herein by
reference.

      The press release includes one or more non-GAAP financial measures within
the meaning of Regulation G. With respect to each, Camco has disclosed the most
directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP and reconciled the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure
and the most comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP.

      Camco believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures in
the press release assists management and investors to compare results
period-to-period in a more meaningful and consistent manner and provides a
better measure of results for Camco's ongoing operations.
