CAMCO FINANCIAL & SUBSIDIARIES SALARY SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2002 and 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 15% of their pretax annual compensation to the Plan. 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 employer matching contributions, among several different investment options offered by the Plan. 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 reallocated to all eligible participants. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Continued) 4. CAMCO FINANCIAL & SUBSIDIARIES SALARY SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2002 and 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (Continued) 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: Years of Service % Vested 1 0 2 20 3 40 4 60 5 80 6 100 Payment of Benefits: Upon termination of service, a participant may elect to receive payment of their vested benefits, either as a lump-sum payment or as a series of installment payments. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Continued) 5. CAMCO FINANCIAL & SUBSIDIARIES SALARY SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2002 and 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 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 the fund's underlying assets. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 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. 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. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Continued) 6.
