                           CAMCO FINANCIAL CORPORATION

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

            For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002


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, 2002. 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, 2003, 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 two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Advantage Bank ("Advantage" or the
     "Bank") and Camco Title Insurance Agency, Inc., as well as a second tier
     subsidiary, Camco Mortgage Corporation. All significant intercompany
     balances and transactions have been eliminated.

3.   Earnings Per Share

     Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted-average
     number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
     common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common
     shares issuable under the Corporation's stock option plans. The
     computations are as follows:



                                                                                   FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
                                                                                            MARCH 31,

                                                                                 ---------             ---------
                                                                                                 
Weighted-average common shares
  outstanding (basic)                                                            7,674,434             7,966,767

                                                                                 ---------             ---------
Weighted-average common shares
  outstanding (diluted)                                                          7,769,546             8,082,595
                                                                                 =========             =========


     Options to purchase 7,088 and 68,416 shares of common stock with respective
     weighted-average exercise prices of $16.59 and $14.76 were outstanding at
     March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, but were excluded from the
     computation of common share equivalents for those respective periods
     because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of
     the common shares.

                           CAMCO FINANCIAL CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

            For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002


4.   Stock Option Plans

     Camco presently has options outstanding under four stock option plans.
     Under the 1995 Plan and the 2002 Plan, 161,488 and 400,000 shares,
     respectively, were reserved for issuance. Additionally, in connection with
     the 1996 acquisition of First Savings, 265,876 shares were reserved for
     issuance. In connection with the 2000 acquisition of Westwood Homestead,
     311,794 shares were reserved for issuance.

     The Corporation accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with SFAS
     No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which contains a
     fair-value based method for valuing stock-based compensation that entities
     may use, that measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the
     fair value of the award. Compensation is then recognized over the service
     period, which is usually the vesting period. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123
     permits entities to continue to account for stock options and similar
     equity instruments under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No.
     25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Entities that continue to
     account for stock options using APB Opinion No. 25 are required to make pro
     forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share, as if the
     fair-value based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been
     applied.

     The Corporation utilizes APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in
     accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost
     has been recognized for the plans. Had compensation cost for the
     Corporation's stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at
     the grant dates for awards under the plans consistent with the accounting
     method utilized in SFAS No. 123, the Corporation's net earnings and
     earnings per share would have been reported as the pro forma amounts
     indicated below for the three months ended March 31:



                                                                   2003                  2002

4.   Stock Option Plans (continued)


     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
     the modified Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following
     assumptions used for grants during 2003, 2002 and 2001: dividend yield of
     3.50%, 3.84% and 4.07%, respectively; expected volatility of 16.88%,
     16.34%, and 17.06%, respectively; a risk-free interest rate of 3.95%, 2.00%
     and 3.00%, respectively, and an expected life of ten years for all grants.

     A summary of the status of the Corporation's stock option plans as of March
     31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and 2001, and changes during the periods
     ending on those dates is presented below:

5.   Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 146, "Accounting
     for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146
     provides financial accounting and reporting guidance for costs associated
     with exit or disposal activities, including one-time termination benefits,
     contract termination costs other than for a capital lease, and costs to
     consolidate facilities or relocate employees. SFAS No. 146 is effective for
     exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Management
     adopted SFAS No. 146 effective January 1, 2002, without material effect on
     the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

            For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002


5.   Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)


     In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
     Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No.
     123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative
     methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method
     of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No.
     148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent
     disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the
     method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect
     of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 is effective for
     fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. The expanded annual
     disclosure requirements and the transition provisions are effective for
     fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure
     provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial
     statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The
     Corporation adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 effective
     December 31, 2002, without material effect on the Corporation's financial
     position or results of operations.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"),
     "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
     Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN 45 requires a
     guarantor entity, at the inception of a guarantee covered by the
     measurement provisions of the interpretation, to record a liability for the
     fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Camco has
     financial letters of credit which require Camco to make payment if the
     customer's financial condition deteriorates, as defined in the agreements.
     FIN 45 requires Camco to record a liability generally equal to fees
     received for these letters of credit when guaranteeing obligations. FIN 45
     applies prospectively to guarantees Camco issues or modifies subsequent to
     December 31, 2002.

     The maximum potential undiscounted amount of future payments of these
     letters of credit as of March 31, 2003 is $167,000. Such letters of credit
     have terms of one year. Amounts due under these letters of credit would be
     reduced by any proceeds that Camco would be able to obtain in liquidating
     the collateral for the loans, which varies depending on the customer.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable
     Interest Entities." FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be
     consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the
     risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to
     receive a majority of the entity's residual returns, or both. FIN 46 also
     requires disclosures about variable interest entities that a company is not
     required to consolidate, but in which it has a significant variable
     interest. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to
     variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The
     consolidation requirements apply to existing entities in the first fiscal
     year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the
     disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after
     January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was
     established. The Corporation adopted the disclosure requirements of FIN 46
     effective January 31, 2003, without material effect on its financial
     statements.

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

            For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002


Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 2002 to March 31,
2003


At March 31, 2003, Camco's consolidated assets totaled $1.079 billion, a
decrease of $3.9 million, or .4%, from the December 31, 2002 total. The decrease
in total assets was comprised primarily of a decrease in loans receivable and a
decrease in investment securities, which were partially offset by increases in
cash and cash equivalents and mortgage-backed securities.

Cash and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions totaled $79.1
million at March 31, 2003, an increase of $22.1 million, or 38.8%, over December
31, 2002 levels. Investment securities totaled $38.9 million at March 31, 2003,
a decrease of $5.2 million, or 11.8%, from the total at December 31, 2002.
Investment securities purchases, which were comprised primarily of $2.0 million
of intermediate-term callable U.S. Government agency obligations with an average
yield of 2.36%, were offset by $7.1 million of maturities.

Mortgage-backed securities totaled $128.5 million at March 31, 2003, an increase
of $11.2 million, or 9.5%, over December 31, 2002. Mortgage-backed securities
purchases totaled $33.2 million, while principal repayments totaled $21.0
million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. Purchases of
mortgage-backed securities during the period were comprised primarily of balloon
and seven- to ten-year amortizing U.S. Government agency securities yielding
3.32%, which were classified as available for sale. Purchases of mortgage-backed
securities were funded primarily with proceeds from loan principal repayments.

Loans receivable, including loans held for sale, totaled $766.2 million at March
31, 2003, a decrease of $30.7 million, or 3.9%, from December 31, 2002. The
decrease resulted primarily from principal repayments of $83.0 million and loan
sales of $91.7 million, which were partially offset by loan disbursements and
purchases totaling $144.6 million. The volume of loans originated and purchased
during the 2003 three-month period was greater than that of the comparable 2002
period by $48.3 million, or 50.1%, while the volume of loan sales increased by
$39.2 million year to year. As interest rates in the economy have remained low,
consumer preference continues to favor long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans to
fund home purchases and to refinance current loans. Camco will continue its
interest-rate risk management strategy of selling low-yielding, long-term,
fixed-rate loans. Loan originations during the three-month period ended March
31, 2003, were comprised primarily of $118.3 million of loans secured by one- to
four-family residential real estate, $19.8 million in consumer and other loans
and $6.5 million in loans secured by commercial real estate. Management intends
to expand its commercial real estate lending in future periods as a means of
increasing the yield on its loan portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $5.7 million and $5.5 million at March 31,
2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, representing 38.8% and 40.3% of
nonperforming loans, respectively, at those dates. Nonperforming loans (90 days
or more delinquent plus nonaccrual loans) totaled $14.6 million and $13.6
million at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, constituting
1.90% and 1.71% of total net loans, including loans held for sale, at those
dates. At March 31, 2003, nonperforming loans were comprised of $10.7 million in
one- to four-family residential real estate loans, $2.5 million in
nonresidential real estate loans, $879,000 in commercial real estate loans and
$461,000 of consumer loans. Management believes all nonperforming loans are
adequately collateralized and no loss is expected over and above allocated
reserves on such loans. Loans delinquent greater than 30 days but less than 90
days totaled $12.5 million at March 31, 2003, compared to $10.5 million at
December 31, 2002, an increase of $2.0 million, or 19.3%. Although management
believes that its allowance for loan losses is adequate based upon the available
facts and circumstances at March 31, 2003, there can be no assurance that
increased provisions will not be necessary in future periods, which could
adversely affect Camco's results of operations.

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 2002 to March 31,
2003 (continued)

Deposits totaled $694.4 million at March 31, 2003, an increase of $320,000, or
..1%, over the total at December 31, 2002. While management has generally pursued
a strategy of moderate growth in the deposit portfolio, Advantage has not
historically engaged in sporadic increases or decreases in interest rates
offered, nor has it offered the highest interest rates available in its market
areas.

Stockholders' equity totaled $97.1 million at March 31, 2003, a $1.5 million, or
1.5%, decrease from December 31, 2002. The decrease resulted primarily from
dividends of $1.1 million, purchases of treasury shares totaling $3.0 million
and a $392,000 decrease in the unrealized gains on available for sale
securities, which were partially offset by net earnings of $2.5 million and
proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $426,000. The increase in
treasury shares represented purchases under the 5% stock repurchase plan that
was announced in October 2002.

Advantage is required to maintain minimum regulatory capital pursuant to federal
regulations. At March 31, 2003, the Bank's regulatory capital exceeded all
regulatory capital requirements.


Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003
and 2002


General

Camco's net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2003 totaled $2.5
million, an increase of $79,000, or 3.3%, over the $2.4 million of net earnings
reported in the comparable 2002 period. The increase in earnings was primarily
attributable to an increase in other income of $1.2 million, which was partially
offset by a decrease of $247,000 in net interest income, an increase in the
provision for losses on loans of $213,000, an increase in general,
administrative and other expense of $640,000 and an increase in federal income
tax expense of $23,000.

Net Interest Income

Total interest income amounted to $14.7 million for the three months ended March
31, 2003, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 13.0%, compared to the three-month
period ended March 31, 2002, generally reflecting the effects of a decrease in
yield on total interest-earning assets of 93 basis points, from 6.62% in the
2002 period to 5.69% in the 2003 period, which was partially offset by a $12.2
million, or 1.2%, increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets
outstanding year to year.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003
and 2002 (continued)


Net Interest Income (continued)

Interest income on loans totaled $12.7 million for the three months ended March
31, 2003, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 17.1%, from the comparable 2002 period.
The decrease resulted primarily from a $71.6 million, or 8.5%, decrease in the
average balance outstanding and a 69 basis point decrease in the average yield,
to 6.56% in the 2003 period. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities
totaled $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, a $479,000, or
84.2%, increase over the 2002 quarter. The increase was due primarily to a $70.3
million, or 145.1%, increase in the average balance outstanding, which was
partially offset by a 117 basis point decrease in the average yield, to 3.53% in
the 2003 period. Interest income on investment securities increased by $126,000,
or 57.8%, due primarily to a $24.9 million increase in the average balance
outstanding, which was partially offset by a decline in the average yield year
to year. Interest income on other interest-earning assets decreased by $170,000,
or 22.7%, due primarily to a decrease in the average yield, to 2.39% in the 2003
period, coupled with a decrease of $11.4 million, or 10.5%, in the average
balance outstanding year to year.

Interest expense on deposits totaled $4.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2003, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 31.4%, compared to the same
quarter in 2002, due primarily to a 112 basis point decrease in the average cost
of deposits, to 2.70% in the current quarter, and a $44.3 million, or 6.2%,
decrease in average deposits outstanding. Interest expense on borrowings totaled
$3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $114,000,
or 3.1%, over the 2002 three-month period. The increase resulted primarily from
a $29.9 million, or 12.1%, increase in the average balance outstanding year to
year, partially offset by a 49 basis point decrease in the average cost to
5.57%. Decreases in the level of average yields on interest-earning assets and
average cost of interest-bearing liabilities were due primarily to the overall
decrease in interest rates in the economy.

As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest expense,
net interest income decreased by $247,000, or 3.7%, to a total of $6.4 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The interest rate spread decreased to
approximately 2.15% at March 31, 2003, from 2.21% at March 31, 2002, while the
net interest margin decreased to approximately 2.47% for the three months ended
March 31, 2003, compared to 2.59% for the 2002 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.
Based upon an analysis of these factors, management recorded a provision for
losses on loans totaling $420,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an
increase of $213,000, or 102.9%, over the comparable period in 2002. The current
period provision was predicated primarily on the increase in the level of
nonperforming loans and the increased percentage of loans secured by commercial
real estate within the loan portfolio. Management believes all nonperforming
loans are adequately collateralized, however, there can be no assurance that the
loan loss allowance will be adequate to absorb losses on known nonperforming
assets or that the allowance will be adequate to cover losses on nonperforming
assets in the future.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003
and 2002 (continued)


Other Income

Other income totaled $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an
increase of $1.2 million, or 53.4%, over the comparable 2002 period. The
increase in other income was primarily attributable to a $999,000 increase in
gain on sale of loans and a $154,000, or 22.2%, increase in late charges, rent
and other. The increase in gain on sale of loans was due to the $39.2 million,
or 74.6%, increase in sales volume, as Advantage continued to sell fixed-rate
loans originated in the low interest rate environment. Additionally, the loan
sales resulted in a greater gain recognition in the 2003 period, both from an
increase in sales prices and a higher fair value in appraised mortgage servicing
rights year to year. The increase in late charges, rent and other was due
primarily to an increase in title fees and other fees on loans.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense totaled $5.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $640,000, or 12.5%, over the
comparable period in 2002. The increase in general, administrative and other
expense was due primarily to a $317,000, or 12.2%, increase in employee
compensation and benefits, an increase of $299,000, in franchise tax and an
increase of $128,000 or 15.8%, in occupancy and equipment, which were partially
offset by an $80,000, or 6.4%, decrease in other operating costs. The increase
in employee compensation and benefits was due primarily to an increase in
incentive compensation and 401(k) plan costs, as well as normal merit increases.
The increase in franchise tax expense reflects the effects of refund claims in
2002. The increase in occupancy and equipment was due primarily to an increase
in office repairs and maintenance expenses, as well as costs associated with the
new Dover office location. The decrease in other operating costs was due
primarily to a decrease in long distance telephone costs following a change in
service providers and a decrease in FHLB charges due to use of bonds as pledged
collateral versus letters of credit.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes totaled $1.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $23,000, or 2.0%, compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to a
$102,000, or 2.9%, increase in pre-tax earnings. The Corporation's effective tax
rates amounted to 32.3% and 32.5% for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2003 and 2002, respectively.
