Trustees
Camco Financial Corporation 401(k) Salary Savings Plan


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of Camco Financial Corporation 401(k) Salary Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are 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 schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

             CAMCO FINANCIAL CORPORATION 401(k) SALARY SAVINGS PLAN

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995


NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

    The following description of the Camco Financial Corporation 401(k) Salary
    Savings Plan ("Plan") provides only general information. Participants should
    refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
    provisions.

    1.  General
        -------

    The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time employees of
    the Company who have one year of service (1,000 hours or more) and are age
    twenty-one or older. Effective July 31, 1997, the Plan was amended to remove
    any service or age requirement for deferral elections. The Plan was further
    amended to require one year of service (1,000 hours or more) to share in the
    matching Company contribution. It is subject to the provisions of the
    Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

    2.  Contributions
        -------------

    Each year, participants may contribute up to 15 percent of pretax annual
    compensation, as defined in the Plan. Participants may also contribute
    amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or
    contribution plans. In 1995, the Company contributed 50 percent of the first
    four percent of base compensation that a participant contributed to the
    Plan. On July 1, 1996, the Plan sponsor amended the Plan so that the Company
    contributes 100 percent of the first three percent of base compensation and
    contributes 50 percent of the next two percent of base compensation.
    Contributions are subject to certain limitations.

    3.  Participant Accounts
        --------------------

    Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution
    and allocations of (a) the Company's contribution and, (b) Plan earnings.
    Allocations are based on each account balance, as defined. Forfeited
    balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce
    future Company contributions. The benefit to which a participant is entitled
    is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

    4.  Vesting
        -------

    Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual
    earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's matching and discretionary
    contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based
    on years of continuous service. A participant is 100 percent vested after
    five years of participation as follows:



                                                         VESTING
     YEAR OF PARTICIPATION                               PERCENT

                                                       
          One year                                        20%
          Two years                                       40%
          Three years                                     60%
          Four years                                      80%
          Five years                                     100%

    During 1997, various participants received distributions from the Company's
    pension plan, which was terminated. Participants had the option of rolling
    these funds into the 401(k) Plan and direct them in various investment
    options. Total rollovers in 1997 totaled $1,613,533.

    5.  Investment Options
        ------------------

    Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct contributions in
various investment options.

     *    FIDELITY BLUE CHIP GROWTH FUND -- The fund invests approximately 60
          percent of its assets in common stock of Blue Chip companies.

     *    ACORN FUND -- An aggressive growth mutual fund that invests in
          primarily stocks of smaller companies.

     *    TEMPLETON FOREIGN FUND -- An aggressive growth mutual fund that
          invests primarily in stocks of foreign companies.

     *    VANGUARD INDEX TRUST FUND -- A mutual fund that invests primarily in
          Blue Chip companies.

     *    VANGUARD WELLINGTON BALANCED FUND -- A mutual fund that seeks
          conservation of capital and reasonable income and invests in common
          stocks and preferred stock debt securities.

     *    CAMBRIDGE SAVINGS CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT FUND -- Funds are invested in
          certificates of deposit with a subsidiary of Camco Financial
          Corporation.

     *    CAMCO FINANCIAL CORPORATION STOCK -- Funds are invested in stock of
          the Plan sponsor's Camco Financial Corporation common stock.

    Participants may change their investment options quarterly.

    6.  Participant Notes Receivable
        ----------------------------

    Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a
    maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their account
    balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the
    investment fund from (to) the Loan Fund. Loan terms range from 1-5 years.
    The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear
    interest at a rate of 2% over the prime rate.

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (continued)

    7.  Payment of Benefits
        -------------------

On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant
will receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participants' vested
interest in his or her account. For termination of service due to other reasons,
a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account
as a lump-sum distribution.


NOTE B - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    1.  Basis of Accounting
        -------------------

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of
accounting.

    2.  Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
        -------------------------------------------

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Participant notes receivable
are valued at cost which approximates fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

Investments that represent five percent or more of the Plan's net assets are
separately identified.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                        December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995


NOTE B - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     3.   Payment of Benefits 
          -------------------

     Benefits are recorded when paid.

     4.   Use of Estimates
          ----------------

     The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosures of contingent asset and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those
     estimates.


NOTE C - 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. In the event of Plan
    termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.


NOTE D - TAX STATUS

    The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
    letter dated August 9, 1995, that the Plan and related trust are designed in
    accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The
    Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the
    Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is
    designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
    requirements of the IRC. Therefore, they believe that the Plan was qualified
    and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.


NOTE E- ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

    Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan sponsor.


NOTE F - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    The Plan offers participants the option of investing in shares of stock of
    the Plan sponsor, Camco Financial Corporation. The Plan also offers
    participants the option of investing in certificates of deposit with
    subsidiaries of Camco Financial Corporation and, therefore, these
    transactions qualify as party-in-interest.
