                           Camco Financial Corporation

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


         During  1997,  the Board of Directors  of Camco  Financial  Corporation
         ("Camco" or the "Corporation")  approved a business combination whereby
         GF Bancorp,  Inc.  ("GF  Bancorp"),  the parent  company of  Germantown
         Federal Savings Bank ("Germantown Federal"),  would merge with and into
         the Corporation, and Germantown Federal would merge with and into First
         Federal  Savings Bank of  Washington  Court House,  a subsidiary of the
         Corporation. The merger was approved by regulatory authorities in 1997,
         and was  completed  in  January  1998.  The  business  combination  was
         accounted for as a pooling of interests and,  accordingly,  the assets,
         liabilities  and capital of the  respective  combining  companies  were
         added together at historic carrying value.

         The December 31, 1997,  consolidated  statement of financial  condition
         and the consolidated  statements of earnings and cash flows for the six
         and three months ended June 30, 1997, as applicable, have been restated
         to give effect to the combination as of January 1, 1997.

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  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.
         Accordingly,  these financial  statements should be read in conjunction
         with the consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto of Camco
         included  in  Camco's  Annual  Report on Form  10-K for the year  ended
         December 31, 1997. 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, 1998,  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
         results which may be expected for the entire year.

2.       Principles of Consolidation

         Camco  has  five  wholly-owned  subsidiaries:  Cambridge  Savings  Bank
         ("Cambridge  Savings"),  Marietta  Savings Bank  ("Marietta  Savings"),
         First Federal Savings Bank of Washington Court House ("First Federal"),
         First  Federal  Bank  for  Savings  ("First   Savings")   (collectively
         hereinafter "the Banks") and East Ohio Land Title Agency, Inc., as well
         as two second tier subsidiaries, Camco Mortgage Corporation and WestMar
         Mortgage   Company.   All   significant   intercompany   balances   and
         transactions have been eliminated.

3.       Earnings Per Share

         Basic earnings per share for the six and three month periods ended June
         30, 1998 is computed based on 5,473,599 and 5,477,369  weighted-average
         shares outstanding during the respective periods.

         Basic  earnings  per share for each of the six and three month  periods
         ended June 30, 1997,  is computed  based on 5,462,900  weighted-average
         shares outstanding.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


3.       Earnings Per Share (continued)

         Diluted earnings per share is computed taking into consideration common
         shares  outstanding and dilutive  potential  common shares to be issued
         under the  Corporation's  stock  option plan.  Weighted-average  common
         shares deemed  outstanding for purposes of computing  diluted  earnings
         per share  totaled  5,660,311 and 5,672,520 for the six and three month
         periods  ended June 30,  1998,  and  5,648,892  for each of the six and
         three month periods ended June 30, 1997.

         Basic and  diluted  earnings  per  share  for the six and  three  month
         periods  ended June 30,  1997 have been  restated to give effect to the
         Corporation's  three-for-two stock split which was effected on July 23,
         1998, and for the acquisition of GF Bancorp completed in January 1998.

4.       Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1996,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (the "FASB")
         issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 125,
         "Accounting  for  Transfers  and  Servicing  of  Financial  Assets  and
         Extinguishments of Liabilities",  that provides  accounting guidance on
         transfers of financial  assets,  servicing  of  financial  assets,  and
         extinguishment  of liabilities.  SFAS No. 125 introduces an approach to
         accounting  for transfers of financial  assets that provides a means of
         dealing with more complex  transactions in which the seller disposes of
         only a partial  interest in the assets,  retains rights or obligations,
         makes use of special purpose entities in the transaction,  or otherwise
         has  continuing  involvement  with  the  transferred  assets.  The  new
         accounting method, the financial components approach, provides that the
         carrying  amount of the financial  assets  transferred  be allocated to
         components of the transaction based on their relative fair values. SFAS
         No. 125 provides criteria for determining whether control of assets has
         been relinquished and whether a sale has occurred. If the transfer does
         not  qualify as a sale,  it is  accounted  for as a secured  borrowing.
         Transactions  subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 125 include,  among
         others,  transfers involving repurchase agreements,  securitizations of
         financial assets,  loan  participations,  factoring  arrangements,  and
         transfers of receivables with recourse.

         An entity that  undertakes an obligation  to service  financial  assets
         recognizes  either a servicing  asset or  liability  for the  servicing
         contract  (unless related to a  securitization  of assets,  and all the
         securitized assets are retained and classified as held-to-maturity).  A
         servicing  asset or liability that is purchased or assumed is initially
         recognized  at its fair value.  Servicing  assets and  liabilities  are
         amortized  in  proportion  to and  over the  period  of  estimated  net
         servicing  income or net  servicing  loss and are subject to subsequent
         assessments for impairment based on fair value.

         SFAS No. 125  provides  that a  liability  is removed  from the balance
         sheet only if the debtor  either pays the  creditor  and is relieved of
         its obligation for the liability or is legally  released from being the
         primary obligor.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


4.       Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

         SFAS No. 125 is  effective  for  transfers  and  servicing of financial
         assets and  extinguishment of liabilities  occurring after December 31,
         1997,  and  is to be  applied  prospectively.  Earlier  or  retroactive
         application is not permitted. Management adopted SFAS No. 125 effective
         January  1,  1998,  as  required,   without   material  effect  on  the
         Corporation's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

         In June 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
         Income." SFAS No. 130  establishes  standards for reporting and display
         of comprehensive income and its components (revenues,  expenses,  gains
         and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS
         No. 130  requires  that all items that are  required  to be  recognized
         under  accounting  standards as components of  comprehensive  income be
         reported  in a  financial  statement  that is  displayed  with the same
         prominence  as  other  financial  statements.  It does  not  require  a
         specific  format for that  financial  statement  but  requires  that an
         enterprise display an amount  representing total  comprehensive  income
         for the period in that financial statement.

         SFAS No. 130 requires  that an enterprise  (a) classify  items of other
         comprehensive  income by their nature in a financial  statement and (b)
         display  the  accumulated   balance  of  other   comprehensive   income
         separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the
         equity  section of a statement of financial  position.  SFAS No. 130 is
         effective  for  fiscal  years   beginning   after  December  15,  1997.
         Reclassification  of financial  statements for earlier periods provided
         for comparative  purposes is required.  Management adopted SFAS No. 130
         effective January 1, 1998, as required,  without material effect on the
         Corporation's financial statements.

         In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
         of an Enterprise and Related  Information."  SFAS No. 131 significantly
         changes the way that public  business  enterprises  report  information
         about operating  segments in annual  financial  statements and requires
         that those  enterprises  report selected  information  about reportable
         segments in interim financial  reports issued to shareholders.  It also
         establishes  standards  for  related  disclosures  about  products  and
         services,  geographic  areas and major  customers.  SFAS No. 131 uses a
         "management approach" to disclose financial and descriptive information
         about  the way  that  management  organizes  the  segments  within  the
         enterprise for making  operating  decisions and assessing  performance.
         For many  enterprises,  the  management  approach will likely result in
         more  segments  being  reported.  In  addition,  SFAS No. 131  requires
         significantly  more  information  to be disclosed  for each  reportable
         segment than is presently being reported in annual financial statements
         and also  requires  that  selected  information  be reported in interim
         financial  statements.  SFAS No.  131 is  effective  for  fiscal  years
         beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131 is not expected to have
         a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

5.       Reclassifications

         Certain   reclassifications  have  been  made  to  the  June  30,  1997
         consolidated  financial  statements  to  conform  to the June 30,  1998
         presentation.

General

Camco's profitability depends primarily on the level of its net interest income,
which is the difference  between  interest  income on  interest-earning  assets,
principally loans,  mortgage-backed  securities and investment  securities,  and
interest  expense on deposit accounts and borrowings.  In recent years,  Camco's
net earnings  have also been heavily  influenced  by the level of other  income,
including gains on sale of loans, loan servicing fees, and other fees.  Finally,
Camco's  operations are also influenced by the level of general,  administrative
and  other  expenses,  including  employee  compensation  and  benefits,  office
occupancy and equipment,  federal deposit insurance premiums, as well as various
other operating expense categories, including federal income tax expense.

Since its  incorporation in 1970, Camco has evolved into a full service provider
of financial  products to the  communities  served by its banking  subsidiaries.
Utilizing a common marketing theme committed to personalized  customer  service,
Camco and its affiliates have grown from $22.4 million in consolidated assets in
1970 to $588.2 million of consolidated assets at June 30, 1998. Camco's level of
growth is largely  attributable to the acquisitions of Marietta  Savings,  First
Federal,  First Savings,  and GF Bancorp and the continued  expansion of product
lines  from the  previously  limited  deposit  and loan  offerings  of a heavily
regulated  1970's savings and loan  association,  to the full array of financial
service   products  that  were  the  previous   domain  of   commercial   banks.
Additionally,   Camco's   operational  growth  has  been  enhanced  by  vertical
integration of the residential  lending function through  establishing  mortgage
banking  operations in the Banks'  primary market areas and, to a lesser extent,
areas beyond the primary market areas, by chartering a title insurance agency.

Management  believes that continued  success in the financial  services industry
will be achieved by those  institutions  with a rigorous  dedication to bringing
value-added  services to their  customers.  Toward this end,  each of the Banks'
operations are decentralized,  with a separate Board of Directors and management
team focusing on consumer  preferences for financial  products in the respective
communities  served.  Based on such  consumer  preferences,  Camco's  management
designs financial service products with a view towards  differentiating  each of
the constituent Banks from the competition.  It is management's opinion that the
Banks' abilities to rapidly adapt to consumer needs and preferences is essential
to community-based financial institutions in order to compete against the larger
regional and money-center bank holding companies.

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

        For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997


Discussion of  Financial  Condition  Changes from December 31, 1997 to June 30,
1998

At June 30,  1998,  Camco's  consolidated  assets  totaled  $588.2  million,  an
increase of $17.1  million,  or 3.0%,  over the  December  31,  1997 total.  The
increase  during the current six month  period was  primarily  funded by deposit
growth of $5.3 million, an increase of $11.8 million, or 14.3%, in advances from
the Federal Home Loan Bank and undistributed net earnings of $2.7 million.

Cash and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions totaled $35.0
million at June 30, 1998, an increase of $12.1 million,  or 52.8%, over December
31, 1997 levels.

Investment securities totaled $18.6 million at June 30, 1998, a decrease of $2.5
million,  or 13.4%, from the total at December 31, 1997. During the 1998 period,
investment  securities  totaling $8.1 million were purchased,  while  maturities
amounted to $9.7 million and sales totaled $900,000.

Mortgage-backed securities totaled $10.4 million at June 30, 1998, a decrease of
$6.3  million  from  December 31, 1997,  due  primarily to sales  totaling  $4.6
million  and  principal  repayments  totaling  $1.7  during  the  period.  Loans
receivable and loans held for sale increased by $13.0 million,  or 2.7%,  during
the six months ended June 30, 1998, to a total of $494.6  million.  The increase
was primarily  attributable to loan disbursements totaling $214.2 million, which
were partially  offset by principal  repayments of $110.6 million and loan sales
of $91.2  million.  Loan  origination  volume  during the 1998 six month  period
exceeded that of the 1997 period by $108.3 million, or 102.2%,  while the volume
of loan sales increased by $68.8 million year to year.

Nonperforming  loans (90 days or more delinquent plus nonaccrual  loans) totaled
$3.8  million  and  $2.0  million  at June  30,  1998  and  December  31,  1997,
respectively,  constituting  .77% and .41% of total net loans,  including  loans
held for sale,  at those  dates.  The  consolidated  allowance  for loan  losses
totaled  $1.7  million and $1.4  million at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
representing  44.1% and 72.8% of  nonperforming  loans,  respectively,  at those
dates.  Although  management believes that its allowance for loan losses at June
30, 1998, is adequate based upon the available  facts and  circumstances,  there
can be no assurance  that  additions to such  allowance will not be necessary in
future periods, which could adversely affect Camco's results of operations.

Deposits  totaled  $428.8 million at June 30, 1998, an increase of $5.3 million,
or 1.3%,  over December 31, 1997 levels.  The increase  resulted  primarily from
management's  continuing  efforts to achieve a moderate  rate of growth  through
advertising  and pricing  strategies.  Advances  from the Federal Home Loan Bank
increased by $11.8  million,  or 14.3%,  to a total of $94.1 million at June 30,
1998.  The proceeds from deposit  growth and advances from the Federal Home Loan
Bank were partially used to fund loan originations for the six month period.

The Banks are  required  to  maintain  minimum  regulatory  capital  pursuant to
federal  regulations.  At June 30, 1998, the Banks' regulatory  capital exceeded
all regulatory capital requirements.

                           Camco Financial Corporation

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

        For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997


Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and
1997

General

Camco's  net  earnings  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1998  totaled  $3.8
million,  an increase of $1.0  million,  or 32.3%,  over the $2.8 million of net
earnings  reported in the  comparable  1997 period.  The increase in earnings is
primarily  attributable to an increase in net interest income of $930,000 and an
increase in other  income of $2.2  million,  which were  partially  offset by an
increase  in the  provision  for  losses on loans of  $26,000,  an  increase  in
general,  administrative  and other expense of $1.7 million,  and an increase in
the provision for federal income taxes of $433,000.

Net Interest Income

Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998,  increased by $1.9
million,  or 9.6%,  generally  reflecting  the  effects  of  growth  in  average
interest-earning  assets outstanding of approximately  $48.0 million,  which was
partially  offset by a decrease of one basis point in the average  yield year to
year, from 8.07% in 1997 to 8.06% in 1998.

Interest income on loans and  mortgage-backed  securities  totaled $20.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $1.8  million,  or 10.0%,
over the comparable 1997 period.  The increase  resulted  primarily from a $50.0
million,  or 9.3%,  increase in the average  balance  outstanding  year to year.
Interest  income on  investments  and  interest-bearing  deposits  increased  by
$71,000,  or 4.9%,  due to an increase in average  outstanding  balances of $6.1
million. Interest expense on deposits increased by $263,000, or 2.9%, to a total
of $9.5  million for the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  due  primarily to an
increase  of $16.2  million  in the  average  balance of  deposits  outstanding.
Interest  expense on  borrowings  totaled  $2.4 million for the six months ended
June 30,  1998,  an  increase  of  $715,000,  or 41.6%,  over the 1997 six month
period.  The increase  resulted  primarily from a $24.8 million  increase in the
average balance outstanding year to year.

As a result of the foregoing  changes in interest  income and interest  expense,
net interest income increased by $930,000,  or 10.4%, to a total of $9.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  The interest  rate spread  decreased to
approximately  3.36% for the six months ended June 30, 1998,  from 3.38% for the
1997 period,  while the net interest margin increased to approximately  3.65% in
1998, as compared to 3.63% in 1997.

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 Banks,
the  status  of past due  principal  and  interest  payments,  general  economic
conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to the Bank's market area,

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 (continued)

Provision for Losses on Loans (continued)

and other factors  related to the  collectibility  of the Bank's loan portfolio.
The provision for losses on loans totaled $137,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1998, an increase of $26,000 over the comparable period in 1997. The current
period provision  generally reflects the effects of loan portfolio growth and an
increase in the level of nonperforming loans. There can be no assurance that the
allowance  for loan losses will be  adequate  to cover  losses on  nonperforming
assets in the future.

Other Income

Other income  totaled  $3.9  million for the six months ended June 30, 1998,  an
increase of $2.2  million,  or 122.5%,  over the  comparable  1997  period.  The
increase in other income is primarily attributable to a $1.5 million increase in
gains on sale of loans and an increase of  $589,000  in late  charges,  rent and
other. The increase in gains on sale of loans primarily  reflects an increase in
sales  volume year to year.  The  increase in late  charges,  rent and other was
primarily  attributable  to a $272,000  increase  in title  service  fees at the
Corporation's  title  agency  subsidiary,  as a result of the  increase  in loan
origination  volume, a $99,000 gain on settlement of life insurance policies and
an  overall  increase  in fees on loans and  deposits  due to the  Corporation's
growth year to year.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General,  administrative  and other  expense  totaled  $8.0  million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $1.7 million, or 27.3%. This increase
is due primarily to a $504,000,  or 16.8%, increase in employee compensation and
benefits, a $384,000, or 119.3%, increase in data processing expense, a $55,000,
or 19.7%,  increase in advertising,  a $74,000, or 27.1%,  increase in franchise
taxes and a $571,000, or 40.6%, increase in other operating costs.

The increase in employee  compensation and benefits  resulted  primarily from an
increase  in  staffing  levels  and normal  merit  increases  year to year.  The
increase in other  operating  expenses  was due  primarily to $212,000 in merger
costs related to the combination  with GF Bancorp in January 1998. The increases
in advertising,  franchise taxes and other operating expenses were due primarily
to the  Corporation's  overall  growth year to year,  while the increase in data
processing expenses was primarily  attributable to the Corporation's  conversion
to a new data processing system.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision  for federal  income taxes totaled $1.9 million for the six months
ended June 30,  1998,  an  increase  of  $433,000,  or 30.5%.  This  increase is
attributable  to a $1.4 million,  or 31.7%,  increase in pre-tax  earnings.  The
Corporation's  effective tax rate amounted to 33.0% and 33.3% for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

        For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997


Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and
1997

General

Net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 1998 totaled $1.8  million,  an
increase of $205,000,  or 13.3%,  over the $1.5 million in net earnings reported
in the  comparable  1997  period.  The  increase in net  earnings  is  primarily
attributable to a $325,000  increase in net interest income, a $600,000 increase
in other income and a $19,000  decrease in the provision for loan losses,  which
were  partially  offset by a $702,000  increase in general,  administrative  and
other expense and a $37,000 increase in the provision for federal income taxes.

Net Interest Income

Total  interest  income for the three months  ended June 30, 1998,  increased by
$846,000,  or 8.4%,  compared to the 1997 quarter.  Interest income on loans and
mortgage-backed  securities  increased by $732,000,  or 7.8%, due primarily to a
$43.4 million increase in the average balance outstanding year to year. Interest
income on  investment  securities  and  interest-bearing  deposits  increased by
$114,000,  or 15.9%,  due  primarily to a $9.0  million  increase in the average
balance outstanding.

Total  interest  expense  increased by $521,000,  or 9.4%,  for the three months
ended June 30, 1998.  Interest  expense on deposits  increased  by $139,000,  or
3.0%,  due  primarily  to a  $20.6  million  increase  in  the  average  balance
outstanding year to year. Interest expense on borrowings  increased by $382,000,
or 44.5%, due primarily to a $26.9 million  increase in the average  outstanding
balance.

As a result of the foregoing  changes in interest  income and interest  expense,
net interest income  increased by $325,000,  or 7.1%, for the three months ended
June 30, 1998, as compared to the comparable  quarter in 1997. The interest rate
spread was 3.23% for the 1998 quarter,  compared to 3.36% in 1997, while the net
interest margin was 3.54% in the 1998 quarter, compared to 3.65% in 1997.

Provision for Losses on Loans

The provision for losses on loans  decreased  during the three months ended June
30,  1998,  by $19,000.  The current  period  provision  generally  reflects the
effects of loan portfolio growth year to year.

Other Income

Other  income  increased  for the quarter  ended June 30, 1998 by  $600,000,  or
57.9%, compared to the 1997 quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to a
$466,000  increase  in gain on sale of loans  and an  $85,000  increase  in loan
servicing  fees,  which  were  partially  offset by a $10,000  decrease  in late
charges,  rent  and  other.  The  increase  in the  gain on sale of loans is due
primarily to the increased volume of fixed-rate loans originated for sale.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 (continued)

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General,  administrative  and other  expense  increased by  $702,000,  or 21.9%,
during  the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1998.  The  increase  is  primarily
attributable  to a $78,000,  or 5.3%,  increase  in  employee  compensation  and
benefits, a $136,000, or 32.5%, increase in occupancy and equipment,  a $91,000,
or 13.2%,  increase  in other  operating  expense  and a  $326,000,  or  178.1%,
increase in data processing  primarily  attributed to conversion  related costs.
The increase in employee  compensation  and  benefits  resulted  primarily  from
normal merit  increases,  as well as an increase due to the hiring of additional
personnel.  The  increase  in  occupancy  and  equipment  related  primarily  to
increased  depreciation  and building  maintenance  costs. The increase in other
operating   expenses   generally  reflects  increased  costs  attendant  to  the
Corporation's growth year to year.

Federal Income Taxes

Camco's  provision for federal income taxes increased for the three months ended
June 30, 1998, by $37,000, or 4.7%, generally reflecting the $242,000, or 10.4%,
increase in pre-tax  earnings  year to year.  The effective tax rates were 31.9%
and  33.6%  for  the  three  month   periods  ended  June  30,  1998  and  1997,
respectively.


Other Matters

As with all  providers of financial  services,  Camco's  operations  are heavily
dependent on information  technology systems.  Camco is addressing the potential
problems  associated  with the  possibility  that the computers  that control or
operate Camco's  information  technology  system and  infrastructure  may not be
programmed to read four-digit date codes and, upon arrival of the year 2000, may
recognize the two-digit code "00" as the year 1900,  causing  systems to fail to
function or to generate erroneous data. Camco is working with the companies that
supply or service its information  technology systems to identify and remedy any
year 2000 related problems.

As of the date of this Form 10-Q, Camco has not identified any specific expenses
that are reasonably likely to be incurred by Camco in connection with this issue
and does not expect to incur  significant  expense to  implement  the  necessary
corrective  measures.  No  assurance  can be given,  however,  that  significant
expense  will not be  incurred  in future  periods.  In the event  that Camco is
ultimately  required to purchase  replacement  computer  systems,  programs  and
equipment,  or  incur  substantial  expense  to make  Camco's  current  systems,
programs and equipment year 2000  compliant,  Camco's net earnings and financial
condition could be adversely affected.

        For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997


Other Matters (continued)

In addition to possible  expense  related to its own systems,  Camco could incur
losses if loan  payments  are delayed due to year 2000  problems  affecting  any
major borrowers in Camco's  primary market area.  Because Camco's loan portfolio
is  highly  diversified  with  regard  to  individual  borrowers  and  types  of
businesses and Camco's primary market area is not  significantly  dependent upon
one employer or  industry,  Camco does not expect any  significant  or prolonged
difficulties that will affect net earnings or cash flow.
