These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of Camco Financial & Subsidiaries Salary Savings Plan as of December 31, 2004, were audited by other auditors whose report dated May 6, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the 2004 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2004 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic 2004 financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole /s/ David L.

Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. GENERAL - The Plan is a defined-contribution plan covering all employees of Camco Financial & Subsidiaries (the Company). The Plan requires employees to complete one year of service (1,000 hours or more) to participate in the Plan. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). CONTRIBUTIONS - Each year, participants may contribute up to 92 percent of pretax annual compensation, subject to certain limitations. The Plan also allows any participant who has attained age 50 by the end of the Plan year to make catch-up contributions in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. The Company makes a matching contribution equal to 100% of 401(k) deferrals made up to the first 3% of base compensation and 50% of 401(k) deferrals from 3.01% to 5% of base compensation. The Company may make an additional employer discretionary contribution. Contributions are subject to certain Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limitations. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Each participant's account is credited with the participant's own contribution, and an allocation of the Company's contributions and plan earnings and expenses. Allocation of the Company's contributions and plan earnings and expenses is based upon participants' compensation and account balances, respectively. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. FORFEITED ACCOUNTS - Forfeitures of terminated participants' non-vested employer profit sharing accounts are used to reduce employer contributions. VESTING - Participants are immediately vested in their own 401(k) contributions and employer matching contributions made after December 31, 1997 and any pension plan rollovers, plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the remainder of their account is based on years of credited service. A participant is 100% vested after six years of credited service. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - On termination of service due to death, disability, retirement, or other reasons, a participant may elect to receive payment of their vested benefits as a lump sum payment. 4 CAMCO FINANCIAL & SUBSIDIARIES SALARY SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003 NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED) PARTICIPANT LOANS - The Plan allows participants to borrow money from the Plan, in amounts not to exceed one-half of the participant's vested account balance. Participants cannot have more than one loan from the Plan at any time and initial loans must be for at least $1,000, with a maximum of $50,000, as determined by the IRS. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES Following are the significant accounting policies followed by the Plan: BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES - Accounting policies relative to the basis of recording assets and liabilities conform with Department of Labor guidelines. Additionally, the Plan invests in employer stock as well as certain investments managed by Smith Barney Corporate Trust Company or its affiliates. Smith Barney Trust Company is the trustee of the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions as defined under ERISA guidelines. CHANGE IN NET ASSETS - Employer and employee contributions and expenses payable are recognized on the accrual method. Benefits to participants are recorded when paid. Administrative expenses are recorded when incurred. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - Quoted market prices are used to value the Plan's investments in mutual funds and common stock. Participant loans are carried at their outstanding principal balance, which approximates fair value. The Plan's investment in the common/collective investment fund is valued based upon the Plan's proportional share of the common/collective fund's underlying asset which is another common/collective fund. The underlying common/collective fund is valued based upon the fair market value of that fund's underlying assets. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. 5 CAMCO FINANCIAL & SUBSIDIARIES SALARY SAVINGS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES - The Plan provides for various investment options including any combination of mutual funds, Camco Financial Corporation common stock, common/collective funds and other investment securities. The underlying investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits and participants' individual account balances. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - At December 31, 2004, approximately 36% of the Plan's assets were invested in Camco Financial Corporation common stock. RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain prior year classifications have been changed to correspond with 2004 classifications. NOTE 3 - PLAN TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA and its related regulations. In the event of a plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts. NOTE 4 - TAX STATUS The Plan document has been restated for recent law changes. The plan sponsor adopted the restated version of a non-standardized prototype plan document. The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the prototype plan sponsor, by a letter dated June 5, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has not individually sought its own determination letter. The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. 6 CAMCO FINANCIAL & SUBSIDIARIES SALARY SAVINGS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003 NOTE 5 - SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE Significant investments at fair value at December 31, 2004 and 2003, are listed as follows: December 31 December 31 2004 2003 ------------- ------------- Camco Financial Corporation common stock $ 3,919,079 $ 4,380,839 Growth Fund of America $ 1,731,956 $ - Investment Company of America $ 1,006,468 $ - Neuberger Berman Genesis Trust Fund $ 1,005,190 $ 833,238 MCM Stable Value Portfolio $ 781,913 $ 733,385 Dreyfus Founders Discovery Fund $ 762,339 $ 713,276 Europacific Growth Fund $ 622,324 $ - Camco Financial Corporation common stock* $ 481,869 $ 544,364 ---------- * Non-participant directed investment 7 CAMCO FINANCIAL & SUBSIDIARIES SALARY SAVINGS SCHEDULE OF ASSETS HELD AT YEAR END FORM 5500, SCHEDULE H, ITEM 4i EIN 51-0110823, PLAN 002 DECEMBER 31, 2004 (c) DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENT, (a), (b) INCLUDING MATURITY DATE, IDENTITY OF ISSUER, BORROWER RATE OF INTEREST, COLLATERAL, (d) (e) LESSOR OR SIMILAR PARTY PAR OR MATURITY VALUE COST CURRENT VALUE ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------- ------------ ------------- Non-participant directed investments ** Camco Financial Corporation Common stock, 31,290.184 shares $ 334,816 $ 481,869 ** Plan Participants Participant loans bearing interest at 6.0% to 11.5% - 5,663 Participant directed investments ** Camco Financial Corporation Common stock, 254,485.642 shares * 3,919,079 Smith Barney Corporate Trust Co.
