Trustees
Camco Financial & Subsidiaries
  Salary Savings Plan
Cambridge, Ohio

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Camco Financial & Subsidiaries Salary Savings Plan (Plan) as of December
31, 2003 and 2002 and the related statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit 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 audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Schedule H,
Line 4i - 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 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. The supplemental schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the 2003 financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic 2003 financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following description of the Camco Financial & Subsidiaries Salary Savings
Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer
to the Plan agreement 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 and related subsidiaries, collectively referred to as
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% of their pretax
annual compensation to the Plan, 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 Code Section 414(v). 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.

Investment Options: The Plan allows participants to direct the investment of
their plan assets, including half of their employer discretionary and all of
their 401(k) deferrals and employer matching contributions, among several
different investment options offered by the Plan, including Camco Financial
Corporation common stock. The other half of the employer discretionary
contribution is trustee directed and invested solely in Camco Financial
Corporation common stock.

Participant Accounts: Each participant's account is credited with the
participant's own contribution, and an allocation of (a) the Company's
contributions and (b) investment income. Allocation of the Company's
contributions and investment income 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 account.

Retirement, Death, and Disability: A participant is entitled to 100% of his or
her account balance upon retirement (at normal retirement age), death, or
disability.

Forfeited Accounts: Forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested employer
profit sharing accounts are used to reduce employer contributions. As of
December 31, 2003 and 2002, forfeitures totaled $31,177 and $21,572,
respectively.

Vesting: Participants are immediately vested in their own 401(k) contributions,
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 in accordance with the table below:

Payment of Benefits: Upon termination of service, a participant may elect to
receive payment of their vested benefits, as a lump-sum payment.

Loan Provisions: The Plan provides that participants can borrow funds against
their vested account balance. These loans are limited to the lesser of $50,000
or 50% of the participant's vested account balance. The loan must be repaid
within five years, and the loan must bear interest at a reasonable rate.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principles and policies that significantly affect the determination of net
assets available for benefits and results of operations are summarized below.

Accounting Method: The accounting principles followed by the Plan conform to
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements were
prepared using the accrual method of accounting.

Income and Expense Recognition: Investment income includes dividends, interest,
gains or losses realized on the sale of plan assets and unrealized gains and
losses of assets held the entire plan year. Employer and employee contributions
and expenses payable are recognized on the accrual method. Benefits to
participants are recorded when paid.

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 U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures and actual
results could differ from those estimates. It is at least reasonably possible
that a significant change may occur in the near term for the estimates of
investment valuation.

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, 2003, approximately 42% of the
Plan's assets were invested in Camco Financial Corporation common stock.

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 - INVESTMENTS
