NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

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 (“US GAAP”). 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, 2008. 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 three month period ended March 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.
2.		Principles of Consolidation
		The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Camco and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Advantage Bank (“Advantage” or the “Bank”) and Camco Title Agency, Inc.
3.		Critical Accounting Policies
		Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
		Allowance for Loan Losses
		The procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses reflect our evaluation of credit risk after careful consideration and interpretation of relevant information available to us. In developing this assessment, we must rely on estimates and exercise judgment regarding matters where the ultimate outcome is unknown such as economic factors, developments affecting companies in specific industries and issues with respect to single borrowers. Depending on changes in circumstances, future assessments of credit risk may yield materially different results, which may require an increase or a decrease in the allowance for loan losses.
		The allowance is regularly reviewed by management to determine whether the amount is considered adequate to absorb probable, incurred losses. This evaluation includes specific loss estimates on certain individually reviewed loans, statistical loss estimates for loan pools that are based on historical loss experience, and general loss estimates that are based upon the size, quality, and concentration characteristics of the various loan portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, and current economic and industry conditions. Also considered as part of that judgment is a review of the Bank’s trends in delinquencies and loan losses, as well as trends in delinquencies and losses for the region and nationally, and economic factors.
		The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management believes to be adequate to absorb probable, incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet dates presented. Our evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is an estimate based on management’s current judgment about the credit quality of the loan portfolio. While we strive to reflect all known risk factors in our evaluations, actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.
		Mortgage Servicing Rights
		To determine the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) each reporting quarter, we provide information to a third party valuation firm who assists us with determining the possible impairment of MSRs, as described below.

Camco Financial Corporation

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

		Mortgage Servicing Rights (continued)
		MSRs are recognized as separate assets when loans are sold with servicing retained. A pooling methodology to the servicing valuation, in which loans with similar characteristics are “pooled” together, is applied for valuation purposes. Once pooled, each grouping of loans is evaluated on a discounted earnings basis to determine the present value of future earnings that the bank could expect to realize from the portfolio. Earnings are projected from a variety of sources including loan service fees, interest earned on float, net interest earned on escrow balances, miscellaneous income and costs to service the loans. The present value of future earnings is the estimated fair value for the pool, calculated using consensus assumptions that a third party purchaser would utilize in evaluating a potential acquisition of the servicing.
		Events that may significantly affect the estimates used are changes in interest rates and the related impact on mortgage loan prepayment speeds and the payment performance of the underlying loans. The interest rate for float, which we estimate, takes into consideration the investment portfolio average yield as well as current short duration investment yields. We believe this methodology provides a reasonable estimate. Mortgage loan prepayment speeds are calculated by the third party provider utilizing the Economic Outlook as published by the Office of Chief Economist of Freddie Mac in estimating prepayment speeds and provides a specific scenario with each evaluation. Based on the assumptions discussed, pre-tax projections are prepared for each pool of loans serviced. These earnings figures approximate the cash flow that could be received from the servicing portfolio. Valuation results are presented quarterly to management. At that time, we review the information and MSRs are marked to the lower of amortized cost or fair value for the current quarter.
4.		Earnings (Loss) Per Share
		Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share is computed including the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under outstanding stock options. Diluted earnings per share is not computed for periods in which an operating loss is sustained. The computations were as follows for the period ended March 31:

5.		Stock Option Plans
		In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” stock-based compensation is recognized based on fair value of the award.
		The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the modified Black-Scholes options-pricing model. The following table details the fair value and assumptions used to value stock options as of the grant date that were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

6.		Fair Value
		SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 describes three levels of inputs that Camco uses to measure fair value:

			Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
			Level 2: Level 1 inputs for assets or liabilities that are not actively traded. Also consists of an observable market price for a similar asset or liability. This includes the use of “matrix pricing” used to value debt securities absent the exclusive use of quoted prices.
			Level 3: Consists of unobservable inputs that are used to measure fair value when observable market inputs are not available. This could include the use of internally developed models, financial forecasting, etc.

		Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability between market participants at the balance sheet date. When possible, the Corporation looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Corporation looks to observable market data for similar assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not traded in observable markets and Camco must use other valuation methods to develop a fair value. The fair value of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is estimated through third party appraisals or internal estimates of collateral values.
		The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:

Real estate acquired through foreclosure			6,041				—				—				6,041

		Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral at March 31, 2009, had a carrying amount of $50.9 million, with a valuation allowance of $6.1 million, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $500,000 during the first quarter of 2009.
		Loans held for sale are originated on forward commitment contracts and are reported at the lower of cost or fair value. All loans held for sale at March 31, 2009, are secured by liens on 1-4 family residential properties.
		Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as separate assets when loans are sold with servicing retained. A pooling methodology to the servicing valuation, in which loans with similar characteristics are “pooled” together, is applied for valuation purposes. Once pooled, each grouping of loans is evaluated on a discounted earnings basis to determine the

		present value of future earnings that the bank could expect to realize from the portfolio. Earnings are projected from a variety of sources including loan service fees, interest earned on float, net interest earned on escrow balances, miscellaneous income and costs to service the loans. The present value of future earnings is the estimated fair value for the pool, calculated using consensus assumptions that a third party purchaser would utilize in evaluating a potential acquisition of the servicing.
		Fair value for real estate acquired through foreclosure is determined by obtaining recent appraisals on the properties. The fair value under such appraisals is determined by using one of the following valuation techniques: income, cost or comparable sales. The fair value is then reduced by management’s estimate for the direct costs expected to be incurred in order to sell the property. Holding costs or maintenance expenses are recorded as period costs when occurred and are not included in the fair value estimate.

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009

At March 31, 2009, Camco’s consolidated assets totaled $967.0 million, a decrease of $33.6 million, or 3.4%, from December 31, 2008. The decrease in total assets resulted primarily from decreases in loans receivable. We expect total asset growth to be limited in the near term as the unemployment rates continue to rise and the economy continues to struggle. The current decrease in loan rates has contributed to additional profits relating to the sale of fixed rate loans. Pay downs of loans and possible future growth in deposits would most likely be used to reduce outstanding borrowings and brokered deposits.

Cash and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions totaled $56.0 million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $3.7 million, or 7.1%, from December 31, 2008. As noted in our annual report for fiscal year 2008, we have improved our liquidity position by reducing borrowings and will continue to utilize excess cash to reduce borrowings and deploy into loans and investment securities in the second quarter of 2009.

As of March 31, 2009 securities totaled $95.5 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 3.3%, from December 31, 2008, due to principal repayments of $15.1 million offset partially by purchases totaling $11.5 million and the increase in the fair value of securities available for sale of $334,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. Purchases were comprised of intermediate-term callable notes and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises with an average yield of 2.0%. All of the securities purchased were classified as available for sale.

Loans receivable, including loans held for sale, totaled $727.9 million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $30.9 million, or 4.1%, from December 31, 2008. The decrease resulted primarily from principal repayments of $75.0 million and loan sales of $26.0 million which were partially offset by loan disbursements totaling $72.9 million. The volume of loans originated for sale in the secondary market during the first three months of 2009 increased compared to the 2008 period by $16.9 million, or 150.1%. In conjunction with increased originations the volume of loan sales increased by $13.0 million or 100.5% year to year. While we have seen a slight increase in prepayments on residential mortgage loans, our ability to originate new residential mortgage loans has been improved by the decrease in rates and refinancing of 1-4 family residential homes.

Loan originations during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, included $39.3 million in loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate, $23.3 million of commercial loans, and $10.3 million in consumer and other loans. Our intent is to continue to service our communities in 1-4 family residential, consumer and commercial real estate lending in future periods.

Further deterioration of the residential loan market in Ohio may result in a continued shift in the loan portfolio toward commercial and consumer loans. We have embraced the strategy of transforming our balance sheet toward commercial and consumer loans and we have introduced new leadership to our commercial lending team during the first quarter of 2009 to expand our product offering and improve the execution of our relationship lending within the markets in our footprint.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $15.9 million and $15.7 million at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, representing 27.3% and 29.4% of nonperforming loans, respectively, at those dates. Nonperforming loans (loans with three payments or more delinquent plus nonaccrual loans) totaled $58.0 million and $53.5 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, constituting 7.9% and 7.1% of total net loans, including loans held for sale, at those dates. Net charge-offs totaled $535,000 for the first quarter of 2009.

Although we believe that the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2009, is adequate to cover probable, incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio at that date based upon the available facts and circumstances, there can be no assurance that additions to the allowance for loan losses will not be necessary in future periods, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Unemployment rates in our markets and Ohio in general, are higher than the national average, and bankruptcy and foreclosure filings in Ohio are high compared to the rest of the nation. Additionally, Ohio is experiencing declining values of residential real estate. However, Ohio in general has not experienced significant increases in home values over the past five years like many regions in the U.S., which should comparatively mitigate losses on loans. Nonetheless, these factors, compounded by a very uncertain national economic outlook, may increase the level of future losses beyond our current expectations.

Deposits totaled $720.3 million at March 31, 2009 a decrease of $3.7 million, or .5%, from the total at December 31, 2008. The following table details our deposit portfolio balances and the average rate paid on our deposit portfolio at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Brokered deposits were used to reduce borrowings and improve the Bank’s liquidity position. However, we acknowledge that brokered deposits are not core, franchise-enhancing deposits, and we do not intend to stray from our strategy of improving the long-term funding mix of the Bank’s deposit portfolio by aggregating small business, commercial and retail checking accounts. We have implemented a number of organizational and product development initiatives including a new suite of commercial and small business checking accounts, enhancements to our online business cash management system, and the launch of remote deposit capture solution.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

The increase in money market and interest-bearing demand deposit accounts from certificates of deposit is due to customers showing preference toward liquid deposit accounts in anticipation of future increases in interest rates.

This shift in the mix of the deposit portfolio from higher-cost certificates of deposits to lower-costing money market and interest-bearing demand accounts and decreasing rates has helped reduce our cost of funds during the first quarter of 2009. However, we will not be able to continue reducing rates as strongly in the second quarter of 2009 as they are currently at very low levels. In addition, we have a significant level of higher cost certificates of deposit maturing in 2009. These maturities that will help to reduce our cost of funds further during the remainder of the current year.

Advances from the FHLB and other borrowings totaled $158.6 million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $25.3 million, or 13.7%, from the total at December 31, 2008. The decrease in borrowings was primarily due to the decrease in FHLB advances of $38.2 million as we continue to reduce borrowings as a result of the net decrease in the loan portfolio. We have also issued brokered deposits to reduce our outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further discussion on our borrowings position.

Stockholders’ equity totaled $72.3 million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $562,000, or 0.8%, from December 31, 2008. The increase resulted primarily from net earnings of $235,000, and falling interest rates improved the fair value of our investments securities, which resulted in an increase in unrealized gains on available for sale securities, net of tax, of $220,000. These increases were offset partially by dividends of $71,600.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

Camco’s net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2009, totaled $235,000, an increase of $1.2 million, from the net loss of $1.0 million reported in the comparable 2008 period. On a per share basis, the net earnings during the first quarter of 2009 were $0.03, compared to loss of $.14 per share in the first quarter of 2008. The increase in earnings was primarily attributable to a decrease in the provision for losses on loans of $1.7 million, before the effect of federal income taxes.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $635,000, or 9.8%, compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, generally reflecting the effects of a $29.5 million decrease in the average balance of interest earning assets. Net interest margin fell to 2.62% in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 2.68% in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 2.81% in the first quarter of 2008. The compression in net interest margin during the first quarter of 2009, compared to the first quarter of 2008, was due to a lower volume of interest- earning assets and a lower yield on those assets offset partially by lower cost of interest-earning liabilities in the first quarter of 2009.

Margin pressure is a challenge due to the yield on assets declining at a faster rate than the cost of funds. At the same time, the loan portfolio has not grown to offset the tighter spreads. While portfolio loan production has slowed, we continue to diversify the loan portfolio by encouraging continued growth in commercial and consumer loan balances as these types of loans are normally higher-yielding assets than conventional mortgage loans.

The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, and the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin. The table does not reflect any effect of income taxes. Balances are based on the average of month-end balances which, in the opinion of management, do not differ materially from daily balances.

Interest income on loans totaled $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $3.0, or 21.9%, from the comparable 2008 period. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $83.7 million in 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008. An 87 basis point decrease in the average yield in the 2009 period also negatively impacted interest income on loans. The Prime rate was 275 basis points lower during the first three months of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008, which was a key driver for the decrease in the yield on loans in 2009 as most of the loans tied to the Prime rate re-price within a month of a change in the rate.

Interest income on securities totaled $975,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $101,000, or 9.4%, from the first quarter of 2008. The decrease was due primarily to a 47 basis point decrease in the average yield, to 4.14% for the 2009 period offset partially by an $811,000, or .9%, increase in the average balance outstanding in the first quarter of 2009 from the first quarter of 2008, coupled with a.

Dividend income on FHLB stock decreased by $37,000, or 9.9%, due primarily to a 69 basis point decrease in the average yield, to 4.52% in 2009. Interest income on other interest bearing accounts decreased $102,000 or 93.6%, due primarily to a 350 basis point decrease in the average yield, to .04%. This decrease was due to higher balances needed to compensate for charges at correspondent banks leaving less balance for interest calculation coupled with decreased rates.

Interest expense on deposits totaled $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 30.1%, compared to the same quarter in 2008 due primarily to a 119 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits to 2.61%

in the current quarter, offset partially by a $11.7 million, or 1.7%, increase in average interest bearing deposits outstanding. While the cost of deposits was lower in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008, the cost in 2009 is expected to stabilize as rates are at lowest levels. However, the interest-bearing deposit portfolio continues to re-price certificates of deposit in 2009, which should decrease costs further if rates continue to be at the current low levels. Although, competitive pressures may limit our ability to reduce interest rates paid on deposits further.

Interest expense on borrowings totaled $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 a decrease of $634,000, or 28.8%, from the same 2008 three-month period. The decrease resulted primarily from a $33.8 million, or 16.6%, decrease in the average borrowings outstanding coupled with a 63 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings to 3.7%.

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 collectability of the Bank’s loan portfolio.

Based upon an analysis of these factors and an uncertain and pessimistic economic outlook, we increased the provision for losses on loans by $648,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2008. We believe our loans are adequately reserved for probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio at March 31, 2009. However, there can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be adequate to absorb losses.

Other Income

Other income totaled $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 an increase of $644,000, or 48.8%, from the comparable 2008 period. The increase in other income was primarily attributable to a $369,000 increase in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights, an increase of $250,000 in gain on sale of loans income, and a $109,000 increase in late charges, rent and other.

The increases in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights and gain on sale are primarily due to increased sales of $13.0 million from the comparable period in 2008. The increase in rent and other was due to increased revenue earned at our title agency.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense totaled $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 a decrease of $136,000 or 1.9%, from the comparable period in 2008. The decrease in general, administrative and other expense was due primarily to a decrease of $111,000 in occupancy and equipment, a $93,000 decrease in employee compensation and benefits and a $59,000 decrease in real estate owned and other expense. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $98,000 in travel, training and insurance.

The decrease in general, administrative and other expense was due to reduction in work force which has decreased employee compensation, employee benefits, payroll taxes and 401k match. The decrease in occupancy and equipment was due to decreasing depreciation coupled with fewer repairs in the current year. The decrease in real estate owned and other expenses was due to loss on the sale relating to real estate owned. The increase in travel, training and insurance was due to increased federal deposit insurance premiums.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes totaled ($78,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Tax credits related to our investment in affordable housing partnerships totaled $81,000 in 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

“Liquidity” refers to our ability to fund loan demand and deposit withdrawal requests, to pay dividends to shareholders and to meet other commitments and contingencies. The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure sufficient cash flow to meet all of Camco’s financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for business expansion in the context of managing interest rate risk exposure. This ability depends on our financial strength, asset quality and the types of deposit and loan instruments offered to customers.

We monitor and assess liquidity needs daily in order to meet deposit withdrawals, loan commitments and expenses. Camco’s liquidity contingency funding plan identifies liquidity thresholds and red flags that may evidence liquidity concerns or future crises. The contingency plan details specific actions to be taken by management and the Board of Directors. It also identifies sources of emergency liquidity, both asset and liability-based, should Camco encounter a liquidity crisis. In conjunction with our asset/liability and interest rate risk management activities, we actively monitor liquidity risk and analyze various scenarios that could impact or impair Camco’s ability to access emergency funding during a liquidity crisis. Additional sources of liquidity include deposits, borrowings and principal and interest repayments on loans. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions, and competition and are difficult to predict.

The decrease in the outstanding balance of loans in 2009 was the main driver for the increase in cash provided by investing activities, which totaled $35.3 million in 2009, compared to $11.2 million in 2008. New loan production was lower and principal repayments were higher in 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008. Some of these cash flows were used to acquire investment securities in 2009. We also encountered some calls of investment securities by the issuer during the first quarter of 2009 due to the significantly lower interest rate environment in 2009. As noted in our 2008 Annual Report and Form 10-K for December 31, 2008, we intend to hold some of our excess funding in cash equivalents or short-term investments to improve our liquidity position.

Approximately $40.0 million, of our investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolio is expected to mature or prepay in the remainder of 2009. While these maturities could provide a significant source of liquidity in the short term, we have a significant level of public funds deposits and repurchase agreements, which limits our ability to use these funds freely due to the collateral requirements of those deposits and repurchase agreements. State and local political subdivision deposits totaled $57.0 million at March 31, 2009 and $60.2 million at December 31, 2008.

Approximately $266.6 million of our certificate of deposit portfolio is scheduled to mature within twelve months of March 31, 2009, and the weighted average rate paid on those maturing deposits is 3.45%. While depositors showed a preference toward short term certificates or other issuances less than 18 months during 2008, we have had recent success in increasing longer-term deposits with 18 to 24 month maturities. This helps to reduce liquidity pressure on the Corporation and allows us to lock in rates on deposits in a low interest rate environment. Competition for deposits is very strong in our markets.

FHLB advances are another funding source. In the past, we have depended heavily on borrowings to fund balance sheet growth. While significant strategic and tactical focus is being placed on deposit growth, borrowings and additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB are still vital sources of liquidity and growth funding. As we noted in our annual report for 2008, we forecasted and are experiencing, tightened lending standards from the FHLB in the form of higher collateral maintenance requirements. While we have been successful in significantly reducing our debt over the last year, we find that in the aggregate we can borrow less than we could a year ago. This capacity has decreased as our one to four-family loan portfolio, the primary collateral for FHLB borrowings, has shrunk and the increase in nonperforming loans has reduced our FHLB credit rating (and thereby increased its collateral requirements) in the latter half of 2008 and into 2009. The inability of the Bank to access contingency funding from the

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

FHLB may limit our growth and negatively affect earnings. We have improved on-balance-sheet liquidity in response to higher collateral maintenance requirements and decreases in our overall borrowing capacity.

We plan to continue to monitor our funding sources through brokered deposits and FHLB borrowings, but recognize that our current credit risk profile may restrict these sources. Our Funds Management Group will monitor the deposit rates in our markets to allow for competitive pricing in order to raise funds through deposits. Funds in excess of loan demand and available borrowing repayments will be held in short-term investments. We are taking these actions to proactively prepare for the possibility of continued deterioration in the credit markets and possible increases in nonperforming loans, which may further reduce our borrowing capacity at the FHLB further.

Federal law prohibits a financial institution from making a capital distribution to anyone or paying management fees to any person having control of the institution if, after such distribution or payment, the institution would be undercapitalized. Additionally, the payment of dividends by Advantage Bank to its parent and by Camco Financial Corporation to shareholders is subject to restriction by regulatory agencies. These restrictions normally limit dividends from the Bank to the sum of the Bank’s current and prior two years’ earnings, as defined by the agencies.

On March 4, 2009, Camco Financial Corporation (“Camco”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (the “Federal Reserve”). The MOU prohibits Camco from engaging in certain activities while the MOU is in effect, including, without the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve, (1) the declaration or payment of dividends to stockholders or (2) the repurchase of Camco’s stock.

On April 30, 2009, Camco Financial Corporation (“Camco”) was notified by The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland that it had conducted a “surveillance review” as of December 31, 2008. Based on that review, the Federal Reserve notified Camco that it must (i) eliminate shareholder dividends and (ii) defer interest payments on its 30-year junior subordinate deferrable interest notes that were issued to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Camco Statutory Trust I, in its trust preferred financing that was completed in July 2007. Camco and Camco Statutory Trust I are permitted to defer interest and dividend payments, respectively, for up to five consecutive years without resulting in a default. Camco may not resume these dividend or interest payments until it receives approval from the Federal Reserve.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The objective of our interest rate risk management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income within the Board’s policy limits through management of balance sheet composition, liquidity, and interest rate risk exposures arising from changing economic conditions, interest rates and customer preferences.

The goal of liquidity management is to provide adequate funds to meet changes in loan demand or unexpected deposit withdrawals. This is accomplished by maintaining liquid assets in the form of investment securities, maintaining sufficient unused borrowing capacity and achieving consistent growth in core deposits. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional discussion on liquidity.

We consider interest rate risk to be Camco’s most significant market risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates. Consistency of Camco’s net interest income is largely dependent upon the effective management of interest rate risk.

To identify and manage interest rate risk, we employ an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to changing interest rates. The model is based on estimated cash flows and re-pricing characteristics and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the effect of changing interest rates on the prepayment rates of certain assets and liabilities. The model also includes projections for activity levels in each of the product lines offered. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates are also incorporated into the model. Assumptions are inherently uncertain and the measurement of net interest income or the impact of rate fluctuations on net interest income cannot be precisely predicted. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.

The Bank’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which includes senior management representatives and reports to the Bank’s Board of Directors, monitors and manages interest rate risk within Board-approved policy limits. The interest rate risk position of Camco presented below is determined by measuring the anticipated change in net interest income over a twelve month horizon assuming an instantaneous and parallel shift (linear) increase or decrease in all interest rates. The ALCO also monitors the sensitivity of the Bank’s economic value of equity (“EVE”) due to sudden and sustained changes in market rates. The ALCO monitors the change in EVE on a percentage change basis.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

     Camco’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of Camco’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2009. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that Camco’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

     In the 1st quarter of 2009, the Company took the following remedial actions to correct the deficiency in internal control that was considered to be a material weakness at December 31, 2008:

     •   A new third party provider was identified to conduct the quarterly valuation of MSRs and management plans to conduct a detailed review on an ongoing basis of the assumptions used with special attention to prepayments speeds in the current lower rate environment.

     •   Management established a new quarterly frequency for the valuation of all properties within our Other Real Estate Owned portfolio. These valuations will use reliable independent sources of market value.

     Management believes that the improvements in our internal control processes as designed were adequate to remediate the material weakness. However, we will not consider the material weakness to be remediated until the new processes operate for a sufficient period of time, and we are confident that they are operating effectively.
