                           CAMCO FINANCIAL CORPORATION

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

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, 2003. 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 six- and three-month periods ended June
      30, 2004, 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 Insurance Agency, Inc.

3.    Critical Accounting Policies

      "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
      of Operations," as well as disclosures found elsewhere in this quarterly
      report, are based upon Camco Financial's consolidated financial
      statements, which are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation
      of these financial statements requires Camco to make estimates and
      judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
      revenues and expenses. Several factors are considered in determining
      whether or not a policy is critical in the preparation of financial
      statements. These factors include, among other things, whether the
      estimates are significant to the financial statements, the nature of the
      estimates, the ability to readily validate the estimates with other
      information including third parties or available prices, and sensitivity
      of the estimates to changes in economic conditions and whether alternative
      accounting methods may be utilized under US GAAP.

      Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
      in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan
      losses, the valuation of mortgage servicing rights and goodwill
      impairment. 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 of all
      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.

                           CAMCO FINANCIAL CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

        For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

3.    Critical Accounting Policies (continued)

      ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (continued)

      The allowance is regularly reviewed by management to determine whether the
      amount is considered adequate to absorb probable 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
      judgement 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 believed adequate
      by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
      Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate
      based on management's current judgement about the credit quality of the
      loan portfolio. While the Corporation strives to reflect all known risk
      factors in its evaluations, judgment errors may occur.

      MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

      To determine the fair value of its mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") each
      reporting quarter, the Corporation transmits information to a third party
      provider, representing individual loan information in each pooling period
      accompanied by escrow amounts. The third party then evaluates the possible
      impairment of MSRs as described below.

      Servicing assets 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 a purchaser 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 market 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 is supplied by management, takes into consideration the investment
      portfolio average yield as well as current short duration investment
      yields. Management believes 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 earning figures approximate the cash flow that could
      be received from the servicing portfolio. Valuation results are presented
      quarterly to management. At that time, management reviews the information
      and mortgage servicing rights are marked to lower of amortized cost or
      market for the current quarter.

      GOODWILL

      We have developed procedures to test goodwill for impairment on an annual
      basis using June 30 financial information. This testing procedure is
      outsourced to a third party that evaluates possible impairment based on
      the following:

      The test involves assigning tangible assets and liabilities, identified
      intangible assets and goodwill to reporting units and comparing the fair
      value of each reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. The
      value is determined assuming a freely negotiated transaction between a
      willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to
      buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.
      Accordingly, to derive the fair value of the reporting unit, the following
      common approaches to valuing business combination transactions involving
      financial institutions are utilized by a third party selected by Camco:
      (1) the comparable transactions approach - specifically based on earnings,
      book, assets and deposit premium multiples received in recent sales of
      comparable thrift franchises; and (2) the discounted cash flow ("DCF")
      approach. The application of the valuation techniques take into account
      the reporting unit's operating history, the current market environment and
      future prospects. As of the most recent quarter, the only reporting unit
      carrying goodwill is the Bank.

      If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount,
      goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and no second
      step is required. If not, a second test is required to measure the amount
      of goodwill impairment. The second test of the overall goodwill impairment
      compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the
      carrying amount of the goodwill. The impairment loss shall equal the
      excess of carrying value over fair value.

      After each testing period, the third party compiles a summary of the test
      that is then provided to the Audit Committee for review.

      SUMMARY

      Management believes the accounting estimates related to the allowance for
      loan losses, the capitalization, amortization, and valuation of mortgage
      servicing rights and the goodwill impairment test are "critical accounting
      estimates" because: (1) the estimates are highly susceptible to change
      from period to period because they require management to make assumptions
      concerning the changes in the types and volumes of the portfolios, rates
      of future prepayments, and anticipated economic conditions, and (2) the
      impact of recognizing an impairment or loan loss could have a material
      effect on Camco's assets reported on the balance sheet as well as its net
      earnings. Management has discussed the development and selection of these
      critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of
      Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed Camco's disclosures
      relating to such matters in the quarterly Management's Discussion and
      Analysis.

      Options to purchase 80,789 and 64,036 shares of common stock with
      respective weighted-average exercise prices of $16.40 and $16.18 were
      outstanding at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, but were excluded
      from the computation of common share equivalents for each of the six and
      three month periods then ended, because the exercise prices were greater
      than the average market price of the common shares.

5.    Stock Option Plans

      Stockholders of the Corporation have approved four stock option plans.
      Under the 1972 Plan, 254,230 common shares were reserved for issuance to
      officers, directors, and key employees of the Corporation and its
      subsidiaries. The 1982 Plan reserved 115,824 common shares for issuance to
      employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. All of the stock
      options under the 1972 and 1982 Plans have been granted and were subject
      to exercise at the discretion of the grantees through 2002. Under the 1995
      Plan, 161,488 shares were reserved for issuance. Under the 2002 Plan,
      400,000 shares were reserved for issuance. Additionally, in connection
      with the acquisition of First Savings, the stock options of First Savings
      were converted into options to purchase 174,421 shares of the
      Corporation's stock at an exercise price of $7.38 per share, which expire
      in 2005. In connection with the 2000 acquisition of Westwood Homestead,
      the stock options of Westwood Homestead were converted into options to
      purchase 311,794 shares of the Corporation's stock at a weighted-average
      exercise price of $11.89 per share, which expire in 2008.

      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.

5.    Stock Option Plans (continued)

      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 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and
      2003, would have been reported as the pro forma amounts indicated below:

      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 2004, 2003 and 2002: dividend yield of
      3.40%, 3.50%, and 3.84%, respectively; expected volatility of 21.44%,
      16.88% and 16.34% respectively; a risk-free interest rate of 4.11%, 3.95%
      and 2.00% respectively, and an expected life of ten years for all grants.

                           CAMCO FINANCIAL CORPORATION

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

        For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 2003 to June 30,
2004

At June 30, 2004, Camco's consolidated assets totaled $1.1 billion, an increase
of $29.6 million, or 2.8%, from the December 31, 2003 total. The increase in
total assets was comprised primarily of increases in mortgage-backed securities
available for sale and loans receivable, as excess cash was redeployed into
higher interest earning assets.

Cash and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions totaled $38.2
million at June 30, 2004, a decrease of $15.5 million, or 28.9%, from December
31, 2003 levels. Investment securities totaled $28.6 million at June 30, 2004,
an increase of $428,000, or 1.5%, from the total at December 31, 2003.
Investment securities purchases totaled $14.0 million, while maturities totaled
$11.5 million and sales totaled $1.5 million. Purchases were comprised primarily
of intermediate-term callable U.S. Government agency obligations with an average
yield of 3.34%.

Mortgage-backed securities totaled $96.1 million at June 30, 2004, an increase
of $10.5 million, or 12.3%, from December 31, 2003. Mortgage-backed securities
purchases totaled $43.3 million, while principal repayments totaled $17.7
million and sales totaled $12.7 million during the six-month period ended June
30, 2004. The pre-tax unrealized loss on mortgage-backed securities totaled $1.9
million at June 30, 2004. Purchases of mortgage-backed securities during the
period were comprised primarily of short duration mortgage-backed securities
yielding 3.96%, all of which were classified as available for sale.

Loans receivable, including loans held for sale, totaled $838.0 million at June
30, 2004, an increase of $32.9 million, or 4.1%, from December 31, 2003. The
increase resulted primarily from loan disbursements and purchases totaling
$212.0 million, which were partially offset by principal repayments of $117.2
million and loan sales of $57.7 million. The volume of loans originated and
purchased during the first six months of 2004 decreased compared to the 2003
period by $130.4 million, or 38.1%, while the volume of loan sales decreased by
$147.2 million period to period. As interest rates have moved off their
historical lows, loans originated and purchased moved away from fixed rate
lending to adjustable rate lending. This has caused origination and purchases to
be lower while at the same time has allowed our portfolio to grow. Camco has
typically held adjustable-rate mortgage loans in its portfolio as an integral
part of its strategy to maintain an asset-sensitive interest-rate risk position.
Loan originations during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, were
comprised primarily of $113.9 million of loans secured by one- to four-family
residential real estate, $50.8 million in consumer and other loans and $47.3
million in loans secured by commercial real estate. Management will continue to
expand its consumer and commercial real estate lending in future periods as a
means of increasing the yield and diversifying the portfolio to a less dominated
proportion of one- to four-family residential real estate loans.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $5.5 million and $5.6 million at June 30,
2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, representing 47.6% and 41.5% of
nonperforming loans, respectively, at those dates. Nonperforming loans (90 days
or more delinquent plus nonaccrual loans) totaled $11.6 million and $13.6
million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, constituting 1.39%
and 1.69% of total net loans, including loans held for sale, at those dates. At
June 30, 2004, nonperforming loans were comprised of $8.8 million in one- to
four-family residential real estate loans, $1.0 million in commercial and
multi-family real estate loans and $1.8 million of consumer and non-residential
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 $4.2 million at
June 30, 2004, compared to $8.7 million at December 31, 2003, a decrease of $4.5
million, or 51.7%. Although management believes that its allowance for loan
losses is adequate based upon the available facts and circumstances at June 30,
2004, there can be no assurance that increased provisions will not be necessary
in future periods, which could adversely affect Camco's results of operations.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

        For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 2003 to June 30,
2004 (continued)

Deposits totaled $677.6 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of $6.3 million,
or .9%, from the total at December 31, 2003. The increase in deposits was due to
a $10.6 million increase of certificates of deposit and a $6.5 million increase
in interest bearing accounts which were offset partially by a decrease of $9.0
million of money market demand accounts.

Stockholders' equity totaled $91.7 million at June 30, 2004, a decrease of
$820,000, or .9%, from December 31, 2003. The decrease resulted primarily from
dividends of $2.1 million, an increase in the unrealized losses on securities of
$1.5 million, offset partially by net earnings of $2.6 million and proceeds from
the exercise of stock options of $284,000.

Advantage is required to maintain minimum regulatory capital pursuant to federal
regulations. At June 30, 2004, the Bank's regulatory capital exceeded all
regulatory capital requirements and is considered "well capitalized".

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and
2003

General

Camco's net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $2.6
million, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 45.2%, from the $4.7 million of net
earnings reported in the comparable 2003 period. The decrease in earnings was
primarily attributable to a $3.6 million, or 52.4% decrease in other income,
which was partially offset by a decrease in general administrative and other
expense of $275,000 or 2.4% and a $973,000 or 45.9% decrease in federal income
tax.

2003 (continued)

Net Interest Income

Total interest income amounted to $25.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2004, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 10.1%, compared to the six-month period
ended June 30, 2003, generally reflecting the effects of a decrease in yield on
total interest-earning assets of 45 basis points, from 5.59% in the 2003 period
to 5.14% in 2004, and a $22.5 million, or 2.2%, decrease in the average balance
of interest-earning assets outstanding year to year.

Interest income on loans totaled $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2004, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 7.4% from the comparable 2003 period. The
decrease resulted primarily from an 86 basis point decrease in the average yield
to 5.58% from 6.44% in 2003 which was partially offset by the increase of
average balance outstanding of $54.0 million or 7.0% in the 2004 quarter.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities totaled $1.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2004, a $641,000, or 31.4% decrease from the 2003 quarter.
The decrease was due primarily to a 22 basis point decrease in the average
yield, to 3.10% for the 2004 period, coupled with a $32.7 million, or 26.6%,
decrease in the average balance outstanding in the 2004 period. Interest income
on investment securities decreased by $326,000, or 45.9%, due primarily to a
$13.7 million decrease in the average balance outstanding, coupled with a 66
basis point decrease in the average yield, to 2.73% in the 2004 period. Interest
income on other interest-earning assets decreased by $112,000, or 9.7%, due
primarily to a $29.9 million, or 32.6%, decrease in the average balance
outstanding which was partially offset by an 86 basis point increase in the
average yield, to 3.38% compared to 2.52% for the six months ended June 30,
2003.

Interest expense on deposits totaled $6.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2004, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 22.9%, compared to the same period in
2003, due primarily to a 56 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits
to 2.05% in the current period, and a $13.9 million, or 2.1%, decrease in
average deposits outstanding. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $6.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $952,000, or
12.4%, from the same 2003 six-month period. The decrease resulted primarily from
a 65 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings to 4.93%, and a $2.2
million, or .8%, decrease in the average balance outstanding year to year.
Decreases in the level of average yields on interest-earning assets and average
costs of interest-bearing liabilities were primarily due to assets repricing
into current lower interest rates, coupled with a December restructuring of
$25.4 million of FHLB borrowings which carried an average fixed rate of 5.41%.
The borrowings were replaced with variable rate advances having a weighted
average rate of approximately 1.5% as of June 30, 2004.

As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest expense,
net interest income increased by $36,000, or .3%, to a total of $12.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The interest rate spread increased to
approximately 2.23% at June 30, 2004, from 2.11% at June 30, 2003, while the net
interest margin increased to approximately 2.47% for the six months ended June
30, 2004, compared to 2.41% for the 2003 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 $510,000 for the six

months ended June 30, 2004. Management believes all classified loans are
adequately collateralized, however, there can be no assurance that the loan loss
allowance will be adequate to absorb losses on known classified assets or that
the allowance will be adequate to cover losses on classified assets in the
future.

Other Income

Other income totaled $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a
decrease of $3.6 million, or 52.4%, from the comparable 2003 period. The
decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a $2.2 million decrease
in gain on sale of loans, a $663,000 decrease in the valuation of mortgage
servicing rights and a decrease of $758,000 in late charges, rent and other. The
decline in mortgage servicing rights was primarily attributable to the
significant slowdown in production sold into the secondary market in the first
half of 2004 versus the first half of 2003. During the first half of 2003,
$205.0 million was sold in the secondary market versus $57.7 million in the
first half of 2004. The reduction in late charges, rent and other was due
primarily to a decrease in title insurance premiums and other fees on loans due
to the $130.4 million decrease of loans originated and purchased in 2004
compared to the 2003 period. The Corporation's mortgage banking income, largely
comprised of gains on sale of loans, servicing revenue, and title insurance
premiums are subject to the cyclical changes in the overall level of interest
rates in the economy. The rise in home mortgage interest rates off historical
lows over the last six months has had a dampening effect on the Corporation's
net earnings. The diminished proportional benefit from other income is expected
to continue as the higher interest rates will likely decrease the Company's
originations for primarily fixed rate mortgage loans, diminishing the fee income
derived from the sale of those loans in the secondary market. The origination of
adjustable rate loans generally increases during these interest rate cycles and,
after a period of time, borrowers have historically come back into the home
purchase and construction market using adjustable rate loans to finance their
homes. Over time, this shifts earnings from fees to net interest income for the
Bank.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense totaled $11.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $275,000, or 2.4%, from the comparable
period in 2003. The decrease in general, administrative and other expense was
due primarily to a decrease of $633,000, or 8.5% decrease in employee
compensation and benefits, a $154,000, or 8.3% decrease in occupancy and
equipment and a $90,000 or 15.1% decrease in franchise tax, which were partially
offset by a decrease of $584,000 or 33.0% in deferred compensation (FAS 91) and
a $71,000, or 19.5%, in advertising. The decrease in employee compensation was
due to continued efforts to contain personnel costs through operating
efficiencies created by the consolidation of charters in 2001. The decrease in
occupancy and equipment was primarily due to the closing of the Russell,
Kentucky branch and a decrease in depreciation expense. The decrease in
franchise tax was due to lowered accrual in 2004 compared to the 2003 period.
The increase in deferred compensation relates to FAS 91 and the decline in
residential loan production. The decrease in advertising was primarily due to
hiring an advertising agency to better manage the Company's marketing effort to
uniformly promote our brand and key product offerings.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes totaled $1.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2004, a decline of $973,000, or 45.9%, compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2003. This reduction was primarily attributable to a $3.1
million, or 45.4%, decrease in pre-tax earnings, as well as the non-taxable
nature of increases in cash surrender value of life insurance. The Corporation's
effective tax rates amounted to 30.9% and 31.2% for the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 and
2003

General

Camco's net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $1.5
million, a decrease of $696,000, or 31.2%, from the $2.2 million of net earnings
reported in the comparable 2003 period. The decrease in earnings was primarily
attributable to a $1.6 million, or 49.1% decrease in other income partially
offset by an increase of $331,000, or 5.6% in net interest income, a decrease in
general administration and other expense of $366,000 and a decrease in federal
income tax expense of $252,000.

Net Interest Income

Total interest income amounted to $13.0 million for the three months ended June
30, 2004, a decrease of $933,000, or 6.7%, compared to the three-month period
ended June 30, 2003, generally reflecting the effects of a decrease in yield on
total interest-earning assets of 37 basis points, from 5.48% in the 2003 period
to 5.11% in 2004.

Interest income on loans totaled $11.5 million for the three months ended June
30, 2004, a decrease of $510,000, or 4.3% from the comparable 2003 period. The
decrease resulted primarily from a 79 basis point decrease in the average yield
to 5.53% from 6.32% in 2003 which was partially offset by the increase of
average balance outstanding of $71.2 million or 9.4% in the 2004 quarter.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities totaled $791,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2004, a $200,000, or 20.2% decrease from the 2003 quarter.
The decrease was due primarily to a $30.5 million, or 23.7%, decrease in the
average balance outstanding in the 2004 period, partially offset by a 14 basis
point increase in the average yield, to 3.22% for the 2004 period. Interest
income on investment securities decreased by $164,000, or 44.7%, due primarily
to a $12.1 million decrease in the average balance outstanding, coupled with a
77 basis point decrease in the average yield, to 2.77% in the 2004 period.
Interest income on other interest-earning assets decreased by $59,000, or 10.2%,
due primarily to a $29.1 million, or 32.9%, decrease in the average balance
outstanding which was partially offset by a 90 basis point increase in the
average yield, to 3.53% compared to 2.63% for the three months ended June 30,
2003.

Interest expense on deposits totaled $3.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2004, a decrease of $847,000, or 20.4%, compared to the same quarter in
2003, due primarily to a 49 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits
to 2.03% in the current quarter, and a $8.3 million, or 1.3%, decrease in
average deposits outstanding. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $3.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $417,000, or
10.9%, from the same 2003 three-month period. The decrease resulted primarily

Net Interest Income (continued)

79 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings to 4.81%, partially
offset by a $10.1 million, or 3.7%, increase in the average balance outstanding
year to year. The decrease in the level of weighted-average yields on
interest-earning assets and the decrease in the average costs of
interest-bearing liabilities were due primarily to assets repricing into current
lower interest rates in the economy period to period. The decline in interest
expense on FHLB advances was due primarily to a December restructuring of $25.4
million of FHLB borrowings which carried an average fixed rate of 5.41%. The
borrowings were replaced with variable rate advances having a weighted average
rate of approximately 1.50% as of June 30, 2004.

As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest expense,
net interest income increased by $331,000, or 5.6%, to a total of $6.3 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The interest rate spread increased to
approximately 2.24% at June 30, 2004, from 2.06% at June 30, 2003, while the net

Based upon an analysis of these factors, management recorded a provision for

which is comparable to the period in 2003. Management believes all classified
loans are adequately collateralized, however, there can be no assurance that the
loan loss allowance will be adequate to absorb losses on known classified assets
or that the allowance will be adequate to cover losses on classified assets in
the future.

Other Income

Other income totaled $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, a
decrease of $1.6 million, or 49.1%, from the comparable 2003 period. The
decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a $1.1 million decrease
in gain on sale of loans, a $550,000 decrease in late charges, rent and other,
and a decrease of $61,000 in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights. The
decline in mortgage servicing rights was primarily attributable to the
significant slowdown in production sold into the secondary market in the second
quarter of 2004 versus the second quarter of 2003. During the second quarter of
2003, $113.3 million was sold in the secondary market versus $31.2 million in
the second quarter of 2004. The reduction in late charges, rent and other was
due primarily to a decrease in title premiums and other fees on loans due to the
$84.3 million decrease of loans originated and purchased in 2004 compared to the
2003 period. The Corporation's mortgage banking income, largely comprised of

cycles and, after a period of time, borrowers have historically come back into
the home purchase and construction market using adjustable rate loans to finance
their homes. Over time, this will shift earnings from gains to net interest
income for the Bank.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense totaled $5.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $366,000, or 6.3%, from the comparable
period in 2003. The decrease in general, administrative and other expense was
due primarily to a decrease of $467,000, or 12.2%, in employee compensation and
benefits, an $88,000 or 9.6% decrease in occupancy and equipment, a $71,000, or
5.6%, decrease in other operating costs and a $47,000 or 12.6% decrease in data
processing expense, which were partially offset by a $340,000, or 32.6%,
decrease in deferred compensation (FAS 91). The decrease in employee
compensation and benefits was primarily due to the decrease in commissions paid
and bonus accruals and continued efforts to contain personnel costs through
operating efficiencies created by the consolidation of charters in 2001. The
decrease in occupancy and equipment was due primarily to the closing of the
Russell, Kentucky branch and a decrease in depreciation expense. The decrease in
other operating costs was due primarily to the decrease of other loan expense
due to the decline in loan production. The decrease in data processing expense
was due primarily to the end of year processing expense accrued in 2004 but not
2003. The decrease in deferred compensation (FAS 91) relates to the decline in
residential loan production.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes totaled $698,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2004, a decline of $252,000, or 26.5%, compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2003. This reduction was primarily attributable to a
$948,000, or 29.8%, decrease in pre-tax earnings as well as the non-taxable
nature of increases in cash surrender value of life insurance. The Corporation's
effective tax rates amounted to 31.3% and 29.9% for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Camco, like other financial institutions, is required under applicable federal
regulations to maintain sufficient funds to meet deposit withdrawals, loan
commitments and expenses. Liquid assets consist of cash and interest-bearing
deposits in other financial institutions, investments and mortgage-backed
securities. Management monitors and assesses liquidity needs daily in order to
meet deposit withdrawals, loan commitments and expenses.

The primary sources of funds include deposits, borrowings and principal and
interest repayments on loans. Other funding sources included Federal Home Loan
Bank advances.
