             Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Plan Administrator
Camco Financial & Subsidiaries Salary Savings Plan
Cambridge, Ohio

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of Camco Financial & Subsidiaries Salary Savings Plan as of December 31, 2004
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for
the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of Camco
Financial & Subsidiaries Salary Savings Plan as of December 31, 2004, were
audited by other auditors whose report dated May 6, 2004, expressed an
unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 2004 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 2004 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for
the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of
year is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the basic 2004 financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This
supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole

                                                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                                      DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

               The following brief description of the Camco Financial &
               Subsidiaries Salary Savings Plan (the Plan) is provided for
               general information only. Participants should refer to the plan
               document for a more complete description of the Plan's
               provisions.

               GENERAL - The Plan is a defined-contribution plan covering all
               employees of Camco Financial & Subsidiaries (the Company). The
               Plan requires employees to complete one year of service (1,000
               hours or more) to participate in the Plan. It is subject to the
               provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
               (ERISA).

               CONTRIBUTIONS - Each year, participants may contribute up to 92
               percent of pretax annual compensation, subject to certain
               limitations. The Plan also allows any participant who has
               attained age 50 by the end of the Plan year to make catch-up
               contributions in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code.
               Participants may also contribute amounts representing
               distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined
               contribution plans. The Company makes a matching contribution
               equal to 100% of 401(k) deferrals made up to the first 3% of base
               compensation and 50% of 401(k) deferrals from 3.01% to 5% of base
               compensation. The Company may make an additional employer
               discretionary contribution. Contributions are subject to certain
               Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limitations.

               PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Each participant's account is credited
               with the participant's own contribution, and an allocation of the
               Company's contributions and plan earnings and expenses.
               Allocation of the Company's contributions and plan earnings and
               expenses is based upon participants' compensation and account
               balances, respectively. The benefit to which a participant is
               entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
               participant's vested account.

               FORFEITED ACCOUNTS - Forfeitures of terminated participants'
               non-vested employer profit sharing accounts are used to reduce
               employer contributions.

               VESTING - Participants are immediately vested in their own 401(k)
               contributions and employer matching contributions made after
               December 31, 1997 and any pension plan rollovers, plus actual
               earnings thereon. Vesting in the remainder of their account is
               based on years of credited service. A participant is 100% vested
               after six years of credited service.

               PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - On termination of service due to death,
               disability, retirement, or other reasons, a participant may elect
               to receive payment of their vested benefits as a lump sum
               payment.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

               PARTICIPANT LOANS - The Plan allows participants to borrow money
               from the Plan, in amounts not to exceed one-half of the
               participant's vested account balance. Participants cannot have
               more than one loan from the Plan at any time and initial loans
               must be for at least $1,000, with a maximum of $50,000, as
               determined by the IRS.

               Following are the significant accounting policies followed by the
               Plan:

               BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The financial statements of the Plan are
               prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

               ASSETS AND LIABILITIES - Accounting policies relative to the
               basis of recording assets and liabilities conform with Department
               of Labor guidelines. Additionally, the Plan invests in employer
               stock as well as certain investments managed by Smith Barney
               Corporate Trust Company or its affiliates. Smith Barney Trust
               Company is the trustee of the Plan and, therefore, these
               transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions as defined
               under ERISA guidelines.

               CHANGE IN NET ASSETS - Employer and employee contributions and
               expenses payable are recognized on the accrual method. Benefits
               to participants are recorded when paid. Administrative expenses
               are recorded when incurred.

               VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - Quoted market prices are used to value
               the Plan's investments in mutual funds and common stock.
               Participant loans are carried at their outstanding principal
               balance, which approximates fair value. The Plan's investment in
               the common/collective investment fund is valued based upon the
               Plan's proportional share of the common/collective fund's
               underlying asset which is another common/collective fund. The
               underlying common/collective fund is valued based upon the fair
               market value of that fund's underlying assets.

               Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date
               basis.

               ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
               with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
               States of America requires the Plan administrator to make
               estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts
               and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from
               these estimates.

                                                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                                      DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

               RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES - The Plan provides for various investment
               options including any combination of mutual funds, Camco
               Financial Corporation common stock, common/collective funds and
               other investment securities. The underlying investment securities
               are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and
               credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain
               investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to
               changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least
               reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment
               securities will occur in the near term and that such changes
               could materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of
               net assets available for benefits and participants' individual
               account balances.

               CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - At December 31, 2004,
               approximately 36% of the Plan's assets were invested in Camco
               Financial Corporation common stock.

               RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain prior year classifications have been
               changed to correspond with 2004 classifications.

NOTE 3 - PLAN TERMINATION

               Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company
               has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at
               any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of
               ERISA and its related regulations. In the event of a plan
               termination, participants will become 100% vested in their
               accounts.

NOTE 4 - TAX STATUS

               The Plan document has been restated for recent law changes. The
               plan sponsor adopted the restated version of a non-standardized
               prototype plan document. The Internal Revenue Service has
               determined and informed the prototype plan sponsor, by a letter
               dated June 5, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed
               in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue
               Code (IRC). The Plan has not individually sought its own
               determination letter.

               The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is
               currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
               requirements of the IRC.
