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, 1998 and 1997, and the related  statements of changes in net assets
available  for plan  benefits for the years ended  December  31, 1998,  1997 and
1996.  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, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets  available for plan
benefits for the years ended  December 31, 1998,  1997 and 1996,  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.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996


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   Internal  Revenue  Code  ("IRC")
    limitations.

    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 1998 were $722,083.  Total  rollovers in 1997,
    including those from the Company's Pension Plan, totaled $1,613,533.

    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

    contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (continued)

    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.

    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 at
     December 31, 1998 and 1997 are separately identified.

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.
