PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL
Camco Financial Corporation ("Camco") is a multiple savings and loan
holding company organized under Delaware law in 1970. Through its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Cambridge Savings Bank ("Cambridge Savings"), Marietta Savings
Bank ("Marietta Savings"), First Federal Savings Bank of Washington Court House
("First Federal") and First Federal Bank for Savings ("First Savings"), Camco
is engaged in the savings and loan business in Ohio and Kentucky.
In October 1996, the merger of First Ashland Financial Corporation, a
Kentucky corporation, with and into Camco (the "Merger") was completed.
Pursuant to the Merger, First Savings, which has its main office and a
full-service branch office in Ashland, Kentucky, and a full-service branch
office in Russell, Kentucky, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camco.
First Federal was acquired by Camco in 1988. First Federal has its
main office and a full-service branch office in Washington Court House, Ohio,
and loan origination offices in Chillicothe, Circleville and Wilmington, Ohio.
Cambridge Savings, which was acquired by Camco in 1971, was
incorporated under Ohio law in 1885. The main office of Cambridge Savings is in
Cambridge, Ohio. Cambridge Savings has branch offices in Cambridge, Byesville
and Uhrichsville, Ohio. In July 1994, Cambridge Savings converted its charter
from an Ohio savings and loan association to an Ohio savings bank.
Established in 1923 under Ohio law, Marietta Savings was acquired by
Camco in 1973. Marietta has its main office in Marietta, Ohio, and a branch in
Belpre, Ohio. In July 1994, Marietta Savings converted its charter from an Ohio
savings and loan association to an Ohio savings bank.
Cambridge Savings, Marietta Savings, First Federal and First Savings
(collectively, the "Banks") are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (the
"FHLB") of Cincinnati, and the accounts of each are insured up to applicable
limits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") administered by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). First Federal and First
Savings are subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the United
States Department of the Treasury, Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") and
the FDIC. Cambridge Savings and Marietta Savings are regulated by the Ohio
Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Savings Banks (the
"Division") and the FDIC.
Cambridge Savings and Marietta Savings each own 50% of the outstanding
stock of Camco Mortgage Corporation ("CMC"), a service corporation engaged in
mortgage lending and related activities. Marietta Savings owns 100% of the
outstanding stock of WestMar Mortgage Company ("WestMar"), a service
corporation engaged in mortgage lending activities, primarily in Wood County,
West Virginia. First Savings owns 100% of the stock of First S&L Corporation,
a Kentucky corporation incorporated in 1975 for the purpose of acquiring stock
in a data processing company located in Cincinnati, Ohio. East Ohio Land Title
Agency, Inc. ("East Ohio"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camco, is engaged in
the title insurance agency business.
The financial statements for Camco and its subsidiaries are prepared
on a consolidated basis. The principal source of revenue for Camco on an
unconsolidated basis is dividends from the Banks. Payment of dividends to Camco
by the Banks is subject to various regulatory restrictions and tax
considerations. See "REGULATION."
References in this report to various aspects of the business,
operations and financial condition of Camco may be limited to the Banks, as the
context requires.

</TABLE>
Generally, loans originated by the Banks are on a fully amortized
basis. The Banks have no rollover provisions in their loan documents and
anticipate that loans will be paid in full by the maturity date.
RESIDENTIAL LOANS. The primary lending activity of the Banks has been
the origination of conventional loans for the acquisition or construction of
single-family residences. At December 31, 1996, 87.6% of the total outstanding
loans consisted of loans secured by mortgages on one- to four-family
residential properties. The Banks also originate loans on multifamily housing
(over four units) and condominiums. Each of such loans is secured by a mortgage
on the underlying real estate and improvements thereon.
Federal regulations and Ohio law limit the amount which the Banks may
lend in relationship to the appraised value of the underlying real estate at
the time of loan origination (the "Loan-to-Value Ratio" or "LTV"). In
accordance with such regulations and law, the Banks make loans on single-family
residences up to 95% of the value of the real estate and improvements. The
Banks generally require the borrower on each loan which has an LTV in excess of
90% to obtain private mortgage insurance.
The Banks have offered adjustable-rate mortgage loans ("ARMs") since
1981. The interest rate adjustment periods on the ARMs offered by the Banks are
generally one, three or five years. The interest rates initially charged on
ARMs and the new rates at each adjustment date are determined by adding a
stated margin to a designated interest rate index. For the past several years,
the Banks have used the one-year, three-year and five-year United States
Treasury bill rates, adjusted to a constant maturity, as the index for its
one-year, three-year and five-year adjustable-rate loans, respectively. The
initial interest rate for a three-year and a five-year ARM is set slightly
higher than for the one-year ARM to compensate for the reduced interest rate
sensitivity. The maximum adjustment at each adjustment date for ARMs is
usually 2%, with a maximum adjustment of 6% over the term of the loan. None of
the Banks' ARMs have negative amortization features.
From time to time, the Banks originate ARMs which have an initial
interest rate that is lower than the sum of the specified index plus the
margin. Such loans are subject to increased risk of delinquency or default due
to increasing monthly payments as the interest rates on such loans increase to
the fully indexed level. The Banks attempt to reduce the risk by underwriting
such loans at the fully indexed rate.
Residential mortgage loans offered by the Banks are usually for terms
of 10 to 30 years. Due to the general long-term nature of an investment in
mortgage loans, such loans could have an adverse effect upon earnings if such
loans do not reprice as quickly as the cost of funds. To minimize such effect,
the Banks emphasize the origination of ARMs and sell fixed-rate loans when
conditions favor such a sale. Furthermore, experience reveals that, as a result
of prepayments in connection with refinancings and sales of the underlying
properties, residential loans generally remain outstanding for periods which
are substantially shorter than the maturity of such loans.
Of the total mortgage loans originated by the Banks during the year
ended December 31, 1996, 49.7% were ARMs and 50.3% were fixed-rate loans.
Adjustable-rate loans comprised 75.4% of Camco's total outstanding loans at
December 31, 1996.
CONSTRUCTION LOANS. The Banks offer residential construction loans
both to owner-occupants and to builders for homes being built under contract
with owner-occupants. The Banks also make construction loans to persons
constructing projects for investment purposes. At December 31, 1996, a total of
$20.0 million, or approximately 5.2% of Camco's total loans, consisted of
construction loans, primarily for one- to four-family properties.
-5-
<PAGE> 6
Construction loans to owner-occupants are typically adjustable-rate
long-term loans on which the borrower pays only interest during the
construction period. Some construction loans to builders, however, have terms
of up to 18 months at fixed rates of interest.
Construction loans for investment properties involve greater
underwriting and default risks to Camco than do loans secured by mortgages on
existing properties or construction loans for single-family residences. Loan
funds are advanced upon the security of the project under construction, which
is more difficult to value in the case of investment properties before the
completion of construction. Moreover, because of the uncertainties inherent in
estimating construction costs, it is relatively difficult to evaluate precisely
the total loan funds required to complete a project and the related
Loan-to-Value Ratios. In the event a default on a construction loan occurs and
foreclosure follows, Camco could be adversely affected in that it would have to
take control of the project and attempt either to arrange for completion of
construction or dispose of the unfinished project. At December 31, 1996, the
Banks had one construction loan in the amount of $108,400 on an investment
property.
NONRESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS. The Banks originate loans secured by
mortgages on nonresidential real estate, including retail, office and other
types of business facilities and apartment projects containing 36 or more
units. Nonresidential real estate loans are generally made on an
adjustable-rate basis for terms of up to 20 years. Nonresidential real estate
loans originated by the Banks generally have an LTV of 80% or less. The largest
nonresidential real estate loan outstanding at December 31, 1996, was a $1.3
million loan secured by a sixty-four unit apartment complex. Nonresidential
real estate loans comprised 3.2% of loans at December 31, 1996.
Nonresidential real estate lending is generally considered to involve
a higher degree of risk than residential lending due to the relatively larger
loan amounts and the effects of general economic conditions on the successful
operation of income-producing properties. The Banks have endeavored to reduce
this risk by carefully evaluating the credit history and past performance of
the borrower, the location of the real estate, the quality of the management
constructing or operating the property, the debt service ratio, the quality and
characteristics of the income stream generated by the property and appraisals
supporting the property's valuation.
Federal law limits an association's investment in nonresidential real
estate loans to 400% of the association's capital. Camco does not anticipate
that it will be adversely affected by such limitation because Camco's business
strategy includes limited nonresidential real estate lending. At December 31,
1996, Camco's investment in nonresidential real estate loans was approximately
27.8% of its total capital.
CONSUMER LOANS. The Banks make various types of consumer loans,
including loans made to depositors on the security of their savings deposits,
automobile loans, education loans, home improvement loans, home equity line of
credit loans and unsecured personal loans. Home equity loans and unsecured
loans are generally made at a variable rate of interest tied to the base rate
on corporate loans, posted by 75% of the nation's 30 largest banks, as reported
in The Wall Street Journal. Home equity loans are for terms of up to ten years.
Most other consumer loans are generally made at fixed rates of interest for
terms of up to ten years. The risk of default on consumer loans during an
economic recession is greater than for residential mortgage loans. At December
31, 1996, education, consumer and other loans constituted 6.2% of Camco's total
loans.
LOAN SOLICITATION AND PROCESSING. Loan originations are developed from
a number of sources, including: solicitations by Camco's lending staff;
referrals from real estate brokers and builders; continuing business with
depositors, other borrowers and real estate developers; and walk-in customers.
Camco does not use loan brokers. Camco's management stresses the importance of
individualized attention to the financial needs of its customers.
The loan origination process is decentralized, with each of the Banks
having autonomy in loan processing and approval for its respective market area.
Mortgage loan applications from potential borrowers are taken by one of the
loan officers of the Bank originating the loan, after which they are forwarded
to the Bank's loan department for processing. On new loans, the loan department
typically obtains a credit report, verification of employment and other
documentation concerning the borrower and orders an appraisal of the fair
market value of the real estate which will secure the loan. Such real estate is
thereafter physically inspected and appraised by a staff appraiser or by a
designated fee appraiser approved by the Board of Directors of the originating
Bank. Upon the completion of the appraisal and the receipt of all necessary
information regarding the borrower, the mortgage loan application is submitted
to the Bank's loan committee for approval. If the loan is approved, an
attorney's opinion of title or title insurance is obtained on the real estate
which will secure the loan. Borrowers are required to carry satisfactory fire
and casualty insurance and flood insurance, if applicable, and to name the
originating Bank as an insured mortgagee.
-6-
<PAGE> 7
The procedure for approval of construction loans is the same as for
residential mortgage loans, except that the appraisal evaluates the building
plans, construction specifications and construction cost estimates. The
originating Bank also evaluates the feasibility of the proposed construction
project and the experience and record of the builder.
Consumer loans are underwritten on the basis of the borrower's credit
history and an analysis of the borrower's income and expenses, ability to repay
the loan and the value of the collateral, if any.
LOAN ORIGINATIONS, PURCHASES AND SALES. The Banks have been actively
originating new 30-year, 15-year and 10-year fixed-rate real estate loans as
well as adjustable-rate real estate loans and consumer loans. Generally all
residential fixed-rate loans made by the Banks are originated on documentation
which will permit a possible sale of such loans to the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") or other secondary mortgage market participants.
When a mortgage loan is sold to the FHLMC, the selling Bank services the loan
by collecting monthly payments of principal and interest and forwarding such
payments to the FHLMC, net of a servicing fee. Fixed-rate loans not sold to the
FHLMC and all of the ARMs originated by the Banks are held in the Banks' loan
portfolios. During the year ended December 31, 1996, Camco sold approximately
$61.7 million in loans to the FHLMC and others. Income from loans serviced by
Camco for others was $749,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
From time to time, the Banks sell participation interests in mortgage
loans originated by them and purchase whole loans or participation interests in
loans originated by other lenders. The Banks held whole loans and
participations in loans originated by other lenders of approximately $13.7
million at December 31, 1996. Loans which the Banks purchase must meet or
exceed the underwriting standards for loans originated by the Banks.
In recent years, Camco has purchased mortgage-backed securities
insured or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies in order to improve Camco's
asset portfolio yield by profitably investing excess funds. Camco intends to
continue to purchase such mortgage-backed securities when conditions favor such
an investment. See "Investment Activities."

FEDERAL LENDING LIMIT. OTS regulations impose a lending limit on the
aggregate amount that a savings association can lend to one borrower to an
amount equal to 15% of the association's total capital for risk-based capital
purposes plus any loan reserves not already included in total capital (the
"Lending Limit Capital"). A savings association may loan to one borrower an
additional amount not to exceed 10% of the association's Lending Limit Capital,
if the additional amount is fully secured by certain forms of "readily
marketable collateral." Real estate is not considered "readily marketable
collateral." In applying this limit, the regulations require that loans to
certain related or affiliated borrowers be aggregated. An exception to this
limit permits loans of any type to one borrower of up to $500,000. In addition,
the OTS, under certain circumstances, may permit exceptions to the lending
limit on a case-by-case basis.
The largest amount which the Banks could have loaned to one borrower
at December 31, 1996, was approximately $1.9 million for Cambridge Savings,
$1.3 million for Marietta Savings, $900,000 for First Federal and $2.5 million
for First Savings.
LOAN ORIGINATION AND OTHER FEES. In addition to interest earned on
loans, the Banks may receive loan origination fees or "points" of up to 2.0% of
the loan amount, depending on the type of loan, plus reimbursement of certain
other expenses. Loan origination fees and other fees are a volatile source of
income, varying with the volume of lending and economic conditions. All
nonrefundable loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs
are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the
related loan in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 91.
DELINQUENT LOANS, NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND CLASSIFIED ASSETS. The
Banks attempt to minimize loan delinquencies through the assessment of late
charges and adherence to established collection procedures. Generally, after a
loan payment is 15 days delinquent, a late charge of 5% of the amount of the
payment is assessed and a loan officer contacts the borrower by mail or phone
to request payment. In certain limited instances, the Banks may modify the loan
or grant a limited moratorium on loan payments to enable the borrower to
reorganize his or her financial affairs. The Banks generally initiate
foreclosure proceedings, in accordance with applicable laws, when it appears
that a modification or moratorium would not be productive.
Real estate which has been or will be acquired by one of the Banks as
a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as
"real estate owned" until it is sold. "Real estate owned" is recorded at the
lower of the book value of the loan or the fair value of the property less
estimated selling expenses at the date of acquisition. Periodically, "real
estate owned" is reviewed to ensure that fair value is not less than carrying
value, and any allowance resulting therefrom is charged to earnings as a
provision for losses on real estate acquired through foreclosure. All costs
incurred from the date of acquisition are expensed in the period paid.
The following table reflects the amount of loans in a delinquent
status as of the dates indicated:

Nonaccrual status denotes loans for which, in the opinion of
management, the collection of additional interest is unlikely, or loans that
meet nonaccrual criteria as established by regulatory authorities. Payments
received on a nonaccrual loan are either applied to the outstanding principal
balance or recorded as interest income, depending on management's assessment of
the collectibility of the loan. The following table sets forth information with
respect to Camco's nonaccruing and delinquent loans for the periods indicated.

As of and for the year ended December 31, 1996, no loans were troubled
debt restructurings as defined in SFAS No. 15. The amount of interest income
that would have been recorded had nonaccrual loans performed in accordance with
contractual terms totaled $89,731 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Interest collected on such loans and included in net income was $68,987.
At December 31, 1996, there were no loans which were not classified as
nonaccrual, 90 days past due or restructured which management considered
classifying in the near future due to concerns as to the ability of the
borrowers to comply with repayment terms.
Federal regulations require each of the Banks to classify its assets
on a regular basis. Under such regulations, problem assets are to be classified
as either (i) "substandard," (ii) "doubtful" or (iii) "loss." Substandard
assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the
distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the
deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the same weaknesses as
substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make
collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable on the
basis of existing facts, conditions and value. Assets classified as "loss" are
considered uncollectible and of such little value that their treatment as
assets without the establishment of a specific reserve is unwarranted. Federal
regulations provide for the reclassification of real estate assets by federal
examiners.
-9-
<PAGE> 10
Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution
to establish prudent general allowances for losses. If an asset or portion
thereof is classified as loss, the institution must either establish specific
allowances for losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset
classified loss or charge off such amount.
At December 31, 1996, the aggregate amounts of Camco's classified
assets were as follows:

The regulations also include a "special mention" category, consisting
of assets which do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient
degree of risk to warrant classification, but which possess credit deficiencies
or potential weaknesses deserving management's close attention. Camco had
assets in the amount of $443,979 designated as "special mention" at December
31, 1996.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
Federal regulations require that the Banks maintain a minimum amount
of liquid assets, which may be invested in United States Treasury obligations,
securities of various agencies of the federal government, certificates of
deposit at insured banks, bankers' acceptances and federal funds sold. The
Banks are also permitted to make limited investments in commercial paper,
corporate debt securities and certain mutual funds, as well as other
investments permitted by federal law and regulations. It has generally been
Camco's policy to maintain liquid assets at the Banks in excess of regulatory
requirements in order to shorten the maturities of the investment portfolios
and improve the matching of short-term investments and interest rate sensitive
savings deposit liabilities.
The following table sets forth the composition of Camco's investment
securities portfolio, except its stock in the FHLB of Cincinnati, and

DEPOSITS AND BORROWINGS
GENERAL. Deposits have traditionally been the primary source of
Camco's funds for use in lending and other investment activities. In addition
to deposits, Camco derives funds from interest payments and principal
repayments on loans, advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati and income on earning
assets. Loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit
inflows and outflows fluctuate more in response to general interest rate and
money market conditions. Borrowings from the FHLB of Cincinnati are used on a
short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from
other sources. FHLB advances and other borrowings are also used on a longer
term basis for general business purposes.
DEPOSITS. Deposits are attracted principally from within Camco's
primary market area through the offering of a broad selection of deposit
instruments, including interest and non-interest bearing checking accounts,
money market deposit accounts, regular passbook savings accounts, term
certificate accounts and retirement savings plans. Interest rates paid,
maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties for the various types of
accounts are established periodically by management of the Banks based on their
particular liquidity requirements, growth goals and interest rates paid by
competitors. Interest rates paid by Camco on deposits are not limited by
federal or state law or regulation. Camco generally does not obtain funds
through brokers or offer premiums to attract deposits. Camco does not have a
significant amount of savings accounts from outside its primary market area.

BORROWINGS. The twelve regional FHLBs function as central reserve
banks, providing credit for their member institutions. As members in good
standing of the FHLB of Cincinnati, the Banks are authorized to apply for
advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati, provided certain standards of
creditworthiness have been met. Advances are made pursuant to several different
programs, each having its own interest rate and range of maturities. Depending
on the program, limitations on the
-13-
<PAGE> 14
amount of advances are based either on a fixed percentage of an institution's
regulatory capital or on the FHLB's assessment of the institution's
creditworthiness. Under current regulations, a member institution must meet
certain qualifications to be eligible for FHLB advances. The extent to which an
association is eligible for such advances will depend upon whether it meets the
Qualified Thrift Lender ("QTL") test. See "REGULATION - Federal Regulation --
Qualified Thrift Lender Test." If an institution meets the QTL test, it will be
eligible for 100% of the advances it would otherwise be eligible to receive. If
an institution does not meet the QTL test, it will be eligible for such
advances only to the extent it holds QTL test assets. At December 31, 1996,
each of the Banks met the QTL test.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS
The following table describes the extent to which changes in interest
rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities have affected Camco's interest income and expense during the
periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable
to (i) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior year rate), (ii)
changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume) and (iii)
total changes in rate and volume. The combined effects of changes in both
volume and rate, which cannot be separately identified, have been designated as
"Other."

COMPETITION
Camco competes for deposits with other savings associations, savings
banks, commercial banks and credit unions and with the issuers of commercial
paper and other securities, such as shares in money market mutual funds. The
primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates and convenience of
office location. In making loans, Camco competes with other savings banks,
savings associations, commercial banks, consumer finance companies, credit
unions and other lenders. Camco competes for loan originations primarily
through the interest rates and loan fees it charges and through the efficiency
and quality of the services it provides to borrowers. Competition is affected
by, among other things, the general availability of lendable funds, general and
local economic conditions, current interest rate levels and other factors which
are not readily predictable.
Competition is affected by federal laws which enable bank holding
companies ("BHCs") to acquire control of any savings association or holding
company thereof wherever located. In addition, federal law permits the merger
or consolidation of any federal savings association into any other depository
institution, subject to restrictions on interstate acquisitions. Ohio law
permits savings and loan associations or holding companies having their
principal place of business in any state having reciprocal legislation to
charter or otherwise acquire an Ohio savings and loan association or holding
company. Such laws may increase the number and size of financial institutions
competing with Camco. Such increased competition may have an adverse effect
upon Camco.
SERVICE CORPORATION ACTIVITIES
Federal regulations permit savings associations to invest an amount up
to 2% of their assets in the stock, paid-in surplus and unsecured obligations
of subsidiary service corporations engaged in certain activity. In addition,
federal regulations generally authorize such institutions which meet the
minimum regulatory capital requirements to invest up to 50% of their regulatory
capital in conforming first mortgage loans made by service corporations.
-16-
<PAGE> 17
At December 31, 1996, Cambridge Savings and Marietta Savings each had
a direct investment in the capital stock of CMC in the amount of $592,861. The
principal business of CMC is originating first mortgage loans on residential
real estate located primarily in Coshocton, Muskingum, Stark and Tuscarawas
Counties, Ohio. Loans originated by CMC are generally sold to Cambridge
Savings. CMC originated $45.3 million of mortgage loans in 1996, $45.0 million
of which were sold to Cambridge Savings, compared to $50.5 million of mortgage
loans in 1995, $47.4 million of which were sold to Cambridge Savings.
Marietta Savings had a direct investment in the capital stock of
WestMar in the amount of $251,740 at December 31, 1996. The principal business
of WestMar is originating first mortgage loans on residential real estate
located in Wood County, West Virginia. WestMar originated $8.4 million of
mortgage loans in 1996, $7.5 million of which were sold to Marietta Savings,
compared to $8.0 million of mortgage loans in 1995, $7.6 million of which were
sold to Marietta Savings.
At December 31, 1996, First Savings' investment in First S&L
Corporation totaled $15,000. First S&L Corporation has not conducted any
business other than the acquisition of stock in a data processing company.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1996, Camco had 153 full-time employees and 15
part-time employees. Camco believes that relations with its employees are
excellent. Camco offers health and disability benefits, a 401(k) salary savings
plan and a contributory defined benefit pension plan, which Camco is in the
process of terminating. None of the employees of Camco are represented by a
collective bargaining unit.
REGULATION
GENERAL
As a savings and loan holding company within the meaning of the Home
Owners' Loan Act of 1933, as amended (the "HOLA"), Camco is subject to
regulation, examination and oversight by the OTS. First Federal and First
Savings are subject to regulation by the OTS and the FDIC. Cambridge Savings
and Marietta Savings are subject to regulation by the Division and the FDIC.
Camco and the Banks must file periodic reports with these governmental
agencies, as applicable, concerning their activities and financial condition.
Examinations are conducted periodically by the applicable regulators to
determine whether Camco and the Banks are in compliance with various regulatory
requirements and are operating in a safe and sound manner. The Banks are
members of the FHLB of Cincinnati and are also subject to certain regulations
promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB").
Congress is considering legislation to eliminate the federal savings
and loan charter and the separate federal regulation of savings and loan
associations, and the Department of the Treasury is preparing a report for
Congress on the development of a common charter for all federally-chartered
financial institutions. Pursuant to such legislation, Congress may eliminate
the OTS and the First Federal and First Savings may be regulated under federal
law as banks or be required to change their charters. Such change in regulation
or charter would likely change the range of activities in which the First
Federal and First Savings may engage and would probably subject the First
Federal and First Savings to more regulation by the FDIC. In addition, Camco
might become subject to different holding company regulations which may limit
the activities in which Camco may engage, and subject Camco to other additional
regulatory requirements, including separate capital requirements. At this time,
Camco cannot predict when or whether Congress may actually pass legislation
regarding the regulatory requirements or charter of Camco, First Federal and
First Savings. Although such legislation may change the activities in which
Camco, First Federal and First Savings are authorized to engage, it is not
anticipated that the current activities of Camco, First Federal and First
Savings will be materially affected by those activity limits.
OHIO REGULATION
As savings banks incorporated under Ohio law, Cambridge Savings and
Marietta Savings are subject to regulation by the Division. Such regulation
affects the internal organization of Cambridge Savings and Marietta Savings, as
well as their savings, mortgage lending and other investment activities. Ohio
law requires that Cambridge Savings and Marietta Savings each maintain at least
60% of their assets in housing-related and other specified investments. At
December 31, 1996, Cambridge Savings and Marietta Savings had at least 60% of
their respective assets in such investments. The ability of Ohio savings banks
-17-
<PAGE> 18
to engage in certain state-authorized investments is subject to oversight and
approval by the FDIC. See "Federal Regulation - State Chartered Bank
Activities."
Ohio law generally limits the aggregate amount that a savings bank can
lend to one borrower to an amount equal to 15% of the institution's unimpaired
capital and surplus. Based on such limit, Cambridge Savings and Marietta
Savings were able to lend approximately $1.9 million and $1.3 million,
respectively, to one borrower at December 31, 1996. A savings bank may lend to
one borrower an additional amount not to exceed 10% of the institution's
unimpaired capital and surplus, if the additional amount is fully secured by
certain forms of "readily marketable collateral." Real estate is not considered
"readily marketable collateral."
The Division is responsible for the regulation and supervision of Ohio
savings banks in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. Periodic
examinations by the Division are usually conducted on a joint basis with the
federal examiners. Ohio law requires that Cambridge Savings and Marietta
Savings maintain federal deposit insurance as a condition of doing business.
Any mergers involving, or acquisitions of control of, Ohio savings
banks must be approved by the Division. The Division may initiate certain
supervisory measures or formal enforcement actions against Ohio savings banks.
Ultimately, if the grounds provided by law exist, the Division may place an
Ohio savings bank in conservatorship or receivership.
In addition to being governed by the laws of Ohio specifically
governing savings banks, Cambridge Savings and Marietta Savings are also
governed by Ohio corporate law, to the extent such law does not conflict with
the laws specifically governing savings banks.
FEDERAL REGULATION
SUPERVISION AND EXAMINATION. The FDIC is responsible for the
regulation and supervision of all commercial banks and state savings banks that
are not members of the Federal Reserve System ("Non-member Banks"), including
Cambridge Savings and Marietta Savings. The OTS is responsible for the
regulation and supervision of all savings associations, including First Federal
and First Savings. Each of the Banks must undergo a full-scope, on-site
examination by its primary federal regulator at least (a) once every twelve
months, if the bank has total assets of $250 million or more, or (b) once every
eighteen months, if the institution has total assets of less than $250 million
and satisfies other specified criteria. In lieu of conducting its own
examination, the federal regulator may accept a state examination every other
examination period.
The FDIC issues regulations governing the operations of Non-member
Banks, examines such institutions and may initiate enforcement actions against
such institutions and certain persons affiliated with them for violations of
laws and regulations or for engaging in unsafe or unsound practices. If the
grounds provided by law exist, the FDIC may appoint a conservator or a receiver
for a Non-member Bank.
The OTS issues regulations governing the operations of savings
associations, regularly examines such institutions and imposes assessments on
savings associations based on their asset size to cover the costs of this
supervision and examination. It also promulgates regulations that prescribe
permissible activities for federally chartered associations, including the
types of lending that such associations may engage in and the investments in
real estate, subsidiaries and securities they may make. The OTS also may
initiate enforcement actions against savings associations and certain persons
affiliated with them for violations of laws or regulations or for engaging in
unsafe or unsound practices. If the grounds provided by law exist, the OTS may
appoint a conservator or receiver for a savings association.
Non-member Banks and savings associations are subject to regulatory
oversight under various consumer protection and fair lending laws. These laws
govern, among other things, truth-in-lending disclosure, equal credit
opportunity, fair credit reporting and community reinvestment. Failure to abide
by federal laws and regulations governing community reinvestment could limit
the ability of an institution to open a new branch or engage in a merger
transaction.
STATE-CHARTERED BANK ACTIVITIES. The ability of Cambridge Savings and
Marietta Savings to engage in any state-authorized activities or make any
state-authorized investments, as principal, is limited if such activity is
conducted or investment is made in a manner different than that permitted for,
or subject to different terms and conditions than those imposed on, national
banks. Engaging as a principal in any such activity or investment not
permissible for a national bank is subject to approval by the FDIC. Such
approval will not be granted unless certain capital requirements are met and
there is not a significant risk to the FDIC insurance fund. Most equity and
real estate investments (excluding office space and other real estate owned)
authorized
-18-
<PAGE> 19
by state law are not permitted for national banks. Certain exceptions are
granted for activities deemed by the FRB to be closely related to banking and
for FDIC-approved subsidiary activities.
LIQUIDITY. OTS regulations require that each of First Federal and
First Savings maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets (cash, certain
time deposits, bankers' acceptances, and specified United States Government,
state or federal agency obligations) equal to a monthly average of not less
than 5% of its net withdrawable savings deposits plus borrowings payable in one
year or less. Federal regulations also require each association to maintain an
average daily balance of short-term liquid assets of not less than 1% of the
total of its net withdrawable savings deposits plus borrowings payable in one
year or less. Monetary penalties may be imposed upon associations failing to
meet liquidity requirements. The average eligible liquidity of First Federal
and First Savings, as computed under current regulations, was approximately
$5.4 million, or 7.1% and $10.2 million, or 14.3%, respectively, for the month
of December 1996, and exceeded the applicable 5% liquidity requirement by
approximately $1.6 million and $6.7 million, respectively.
Cambridge Savings and Marietta Savings are not required to maintain a
specific level of liquidity; however, the FDIC expects them to maintain
adequate liquidity to protect safety and soundness.
QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER TEST. Savings associations are required to meet
the QTL test. Prior to September 30, 1996, the QTL test required savings
associations to maintain a specified level of investments in assets that are
designated as qualifying thrift investments ("QTI"), which are generally
related to domestic residential real estate and manufactured housing and
include credit card, student and small business loans, and stock issued by any
FHLB, the FHLMC or the FNMA. Under this test 65% of an institution's "portfolio
assets" (total assets less goodwill and other intangibles, property used to
conduct business and 20% of liquid assets) must consist of QTI on a monthly
average basis in 9 out of every 12 months. Congress created a second QTL test,
effective September 30, 1996, pursuant to which a savings association will
qualify as a QTL thrift if at least 60% of the institution's assets (on a tax
basis) consist of specified assets (generally loans secured by residential real
estate or deposits, educational loans, cash and certain governmental
obligations). The OTS may grant exceptions to the QTL test under certain
circumstances. If a savings association fails to meet the QTL test, the
association and its holding company become subject to certain operating and
regulatory restrictions. A savings association that fails to meet the QTL test
will not be eligible for new FHLB advances. At December 31, 1996, each of the
Banks met the QTL test.
LIMITATIONS ON CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS. The OTS imposes various
restrictions or requirements on the ability of associations, including First
Federal and First Savings, to make capital distributions, including dividend
payments. OTS regulations also establish a three-tier system limiting capital
distributions according to ratings of associations based on their capital level
and supervisory condition.
Tier 1 consists of associations that, before and after the proposed
distribution, meet their fully phased-in capital requirements. Associations in
this category may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to
the greater of 100% of net income, current year-to-date, plus 50% of the amount
by which the lesser of the association's tangible, core or risk-based capital
exceeds its fully phased-in capital requirement for such capital component, as
measured at the beginning of the calendar year, or the amount authorized for a
Tier 2 association. A Tier 1 association deemed to be in need of more than
normal supervision by the OTS may be downgraded to a Tier 2 or Tier 3
association. First Federal and First Savings meet the requirements for a Tier 1
association and have not been notified of any need for more than normal
supervision.
Tier 2 consists of associations that before and after the proposed
distribution meet their current minimum, but not fully phased-in, capital
requirements. Associations in this category may make capital distributions of
up to 75% of net income over the most recent four-quarter period. Tier 3
associations do not meet current minimum capital requirements and must obtain
OTS approval of any capital distribution. Tier 2 associations that propose to
make a capital distribution in excess of the noted safe harbor level must also
obtain OTS approval. Tier 2 associations proposing to make a capital
distribution within the safe harbor provisions and Tier 1 associations
proposing to make any capital distribution need only submit written notice to
the OTS 30 days prior to such distribution. The OTS may object to the
distribution during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness concerns.
In December 1994, the OTS issued a proposal to amend the capital
distributions limits. Under that proposal, associations which are not owned by
a holding company and which have a CAMEL examination rating of 1 or 2 could
make a capital distribution without notice to the OTS, if they remain
adequately capitalized, as described above, after the distribution is made. Any
other association seeking to make a capital distribution that would not cause
the association to fall below the capital levels to qualify as adequately
capitalized or better, would have to provide notice to the OTS. Except under
limited
-19-
<PAGE> 20
circumstances and with OTS approval, no capital distributions would be
permitted if it caused the association to become undercapitalized or worse.
As subsidiaries of Camco, First Federal and First Savings are required
to give the OTS 30-days' notice prior to declaring any dividend on its stock.
The OTS may object to the distribution during that 30-day period.
LENDING LIMITS. OTS regulations generally limit the aggregate amount
that First Federal and First Savings can lend to one borrower to an amount
equal to 15% of the association's Lending Limit Capital. A savings association
may lend to one borrower an additional amount not to exceed 10% of the
association's unimpaired capital and surplus, if the additional amount is fully
secured by certain forms of "readily marketable collateral." Real estate is not
considered "readily marketable collateral." Certain types of loans are not
subject to these limits. Notwithstanding the specified limits, an association
may lend to one borrower up to $500,000 for any purpose. In applying these
limits, the regulations require that loans to certain related borrowers be
aggregated. At December 31, 1996, First Federal and First Savings were in
compliance with these lending limits. See "Lending Activities - Federal Lending
Limit."
REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. The Banks are required by applicable
law and regulations to meet certain minimum capital requirements. The capital
standards include a leverage limit, or core capital requirement, a tangible
capital requirement applicable to First Federal and First Savings, and a
risk-based capital requirement.
For First Federal and First Savings, the leverage limit requires "core
capital" of at least 3% of total assets. "Core capital" is comprised of common
stockholders' equity (including retained earnings), noncumulative perpetual
preferred stock and related surplus, minority interests in consolidated
subsidiaries, certain nonwithdrawable accounts and pledged deposits of mutual
associations and certain purchased mortgage servicing rights.
The tangible capital requirement provides that First Federal and First
Savings must maintain "tangible capital" of not less than 1.5% of its adjusted
total assets. "Tangible capital" is defined as core capital minus any
"intangible assets".
For Cambridge Savings and Marietta Savings, the leverage capital
requirement is a minimum level of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated
assets of 3%, if they have the highest regulatory examination rating, well
diversified risk and minimal anticipated growth or expansion, and between 4%
and 5% of average total consolidated assets if they do not meet those criteria.
"Tier 1" capital includes common stockholders equity, noncumulative perpetual
preferred stock and minority interest in the equity accounts of consolidated
subsidiaries, less all intangibles, other than includable purchased mortgage
servicing rights and credit card relationships.
Pursuant to the risk-based capital requirement, the Banks must
maintain total capital, which consists of core or Tier 1 capital and certain
general valuation reserves, of 8% of risk-weighted assets. For purposes of
computing risk-based capital, assets and certain off-balance sheet items are
weighted at percentage levels ranging from 0% to 100%, depending on their
relative risk. There are certain differences between the risk weightings
applicable to First Federal and First Savings and those applicable to Cambridge
Savings and Marietta Savings.

The OTS has adopted an interest rate risk component to the risk-based
capital requirement, though the implementation of that component has been
delayed. Pursuant to that requirement, a savings association would have to
measure the effect of an immediate 200 basis point change in interest rates on
the value of its portfolio, as determined under the methodology established by
the OTS. If the measured interest rate risk is above the level deemed normal
under the regulation, the association will be required to deduct one-half of
that excess exposure from its total capital when determining its level of
risk-based capital. In general, an association with less than $300 million in
assets and a risk-based capital ratio of greater than 12% will not be subject
to this requirement. First Federal and First Savings currently qualifies for
such exception. Pending implementation of the interest rate risk component, the
OTS has the authority to impose a higher individualized capital requirement on
any savings association it deems to have excess interest rate risk. The OTS
also may adjust the risk-based capital requirement on an individual basis for
any association to take into account risks due to concentrations of credit and
non-traditional activities.
-21-
<PAGE> 22
The FDIC has adopted a new interest rate risk component to the capital
requirements applicable to Non-member Banks. It includes a final rule to allow
for an increase in a Non-member Bank's risk-based capital requirements on an
individualized basis to address the bank's exposure to a decline in the
economic value of its capital due to a change in interest rates. It also
includes a proposed policy to provide for measurement of such decline in
economic value by determining the amount of change in the present value of an
institution's assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items as a result of a
200 basis point change in interest rates, and taking into account an
institution's management of its interest rate risk and the overall risk
exposure of the institution. There is a proposed exemption from the policy for
small, well-managed institutions with moderate interest rate risk exposure
based on asset maturities or repricing schedules. Such institutions must still
measure and assess interest rate risk.
The FDIC has an outstanding proposal to add a market risk component to
the capital requirements of Non-member Banks. Such component would require
additional capital for general or specific market risk of trading portfolios of
debt and equity securities and other investments or assets. The policy will
apply to an institution with less than $5 billion in assets only if its trading
portfolio constitutes at least 10% of the institution's assets. Cambridge
Savings and Marietta Savings cannot predict in what form this market risk
component will be adopted, if at all. At December 31, 1996, Cambridge Savings
and Marietta Savings did not have a trading portfolio. The FDIC may also
require additional capital to address concentrations of credit and
non-traditional activities on a case-by-case basis.
The OTS and FDIC have adopted regulations governing prompt corrective
action to resolve the problems of capital deficient and otherwise troubled
savings associations and Non-member Banks. At each successively lower defined
capital category, an institution is subject to more restrictive and numerous
mandatory or discretionary regulatory actions or limits, and the applicable
agency has less flexibility in determining how to resolve the problems of the
institution. The agencies have defined these capital levels as follows: (1)
well-capitalized institutions must have total risk-based capital of at least
10%, core or Tier 1 risk-based capital (consisting only of items that qualify
for inclusion in core or Tier 1 capital) of at least 6% and core or Tier 1
capital of at least 5%; (2) adequately capitalized institutions are those that
meet the regulatory minimum of total risk-based capital of at least 8%, core or
Tier 1 risk-based capital (consisting only of items that qualify for inclusion
in core or Tier 1 capital) of at least 4% and core or Tier 1 capital of at
least 4% (except for institutions receiving the highest examination rating and
with an acceptable level of risk, in which case the core or Tier 1 capital
level is at least 3%); (3) undercapitalized institutions are those that do not
meet regulatory limits, but that are not significantly undercapitalized; (4)
significantly undercapitalized institutions have total risk-based capital of
less than 6%, core or Tier 1 risk-based capital (consisting only of items that
qualify for inclusion in core or Tier 1 capital) of less than 3% and core or
Tier 1 capital of less than 3%; and (5) critically undercapitalized
institutions are those with core or Tier 1 capital of less than 2% of total
assets. In addition, the agency generally can downgrade an institution's
capital category, notwithstanding its capital level, if, after notice and
opportunity for hearing, the institution is deemed to be engaging in an unsafe
or unsound practice, because it has not corrected deficiencies that resulted in
it receiving a less than satisfactory examination rating on matters other than
capital or it is deemed to be in an unsafe or unsound condition.
An undercapitalized institution must submit a capital restoration plan
to the applicable agency within 45 days after it becomes undercapitalized. Such
institution will be subject to increased monitoring and asset growth
restrictions and will be required to obtain prior approval for acquisitions,
branching and engaging in new lines of business. Furthermore, critically
undercapitalized institutions must be placed in conservatorship or receivership
within 90 days of reaching that capitalization level, except under limited
circumstances. The Banks' capital levels at December 31, 1996, met the
standards for well-capitalized institutions.
Federal law prohibits a financial institution from making a capital
distribution to anyone or paying management fees to any person having control
of the institution if, after such distribution or payment, the institution
would be undercapitalized. In addition, each company controlling an
undercapitalized institution must guarantee that the institution will comply
with its capital restoration plan until the institution has been adequately
capitalized on an average during each of the four preceding calendar quarters
and must provide adequate assurances of performance. The aggregate liability
pursuant to such guarantee is limited to the lesser of (a) an amount equal to
5% of the institution's total assets at the time it became undercapitalized or
(b) the amount necessary to bring the institution into compliance with all
capital standards applicable to such institution at the time the institution
fails to comply with its capital restoration plan.
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
DEPOSIT INSURANCE AND ASSESSMENTS. The FDIC is an independent federal
agency that insures the deposits, up to prescribed statutory limits, of
federally insured banks and thrifts and safeguards the safety and soundness of
the banking and thrift industries. The FDIC administers two separate insurance
funds, the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") for commercial
-22-
<PAGE> 23
banks and state savings banks and the SAIF for savings associations. The Banks
are members of the SAIF and their deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC, up
to the prescribed limits. The FDIC has examination authority over all insured
depository institutions, including the Banks, and has authority to initiate
enforcement actions against federally insured savings associations, if the FDIC
does not believe the OTS has taken appropriate action to safeguard safety and
soundness and the deposit insurance fund.
The FDIC is required to maintain designated levels of reserves in each
fund. The FDIC may increase assessment rates for either fund if necessary to
restore the fund's ratio of reserves to insured deposits to its target level
within a reasonable time and may decrease such rates if such target level has
been met. The FDIC has established a risk-based assessment system for both SAIF
and BIF members. Under this system, assessments vary based on the risk the
institution poses to its deposit insurance fund. The risk level is determined
based on the institution's capital level and the FDIC's level of supervisory
concern about the institution.
Because of the differing reserve levels of the funds, deposit insurance
assessments paid by healthy savings associations were reduced significantly
below the level paid by healthy savings associations effective in mid-1995.
Assessments paid by healthy savings associations exceeded those paid by healthy
commercial banks by approximately $.19 per $100 in deposits in late 1995. Such
excess equalled approximately $.23 per $100 in deposits beginning in 1996. This
premium disparity had a negative competitive impact on the Banks and other
institutions in the SAIF.
Federal legislation, which was effective September 30, 1996, provided
for the recapitalization of the SAIF by means of a special assessment of $.657
per $100 of SAIF deposits held at March 31, 1995, in order to increase SAIF
reserves to the level required by law. Certain banks holding SAIF-insured
deposits were required to pay the same special assessment on 80% of deposits at
March 31, 1995. In addition, part of the cost of prior thrift failures, which
had previously been paid only by SAIF members, will be paid by BIF members. As
a result, BIF assessments for healthy banks in 1997 will be $.013 per $100 in
deposits and SAIF assessments for healthy institutions in 1997 will be $.064
per $100 in deposits.
The Banks had $277.3 million in deposits at March 31, 1995. The Banks
paid a special assessment of $1.8 million in November 1996, which was accounted
for and recorded as of September 30, 1996. This assessment is tax-deductible,
but has reduced earnings for the year ended December 31, 1996.
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND INSIDERS
Loans to executive officers, directors and principal shareholders and
their related interests must conform to the lending limit on loans to one
borrower, and the total of such loans to executive officers, directors,
principal shareholders and their related interests cannot exceed the
association's Lending Limit Capital (or 200% of Lending Limit Capital for
qualifying institutions with less than $100 million in assets). Most loans to
directors, executive officers and principal shareholders must be approved in
advance by a majority of the "disinterested" members of the board of directors
of the association with any "interested" director not participating. All loans
to directors, executive officers and principal shareholders must be made on
terms substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions with the
general public or as offered to all employees in a company-wide benefit
program, and loans to executive officers are subject to additional limitations.
The Banks were in compliance with such restrictions at December 31, 1996.
All transactions between savings associations and their affiliates
must comply with Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act (the "FRA").
An affiliate is any company or entity which controls, is controlled by or is
under common control with the financial institution. In a holding company
context, the parent holding company of a savings association and any companies
that are controlled by such parent holding company are affiliates of the
institution. Generally, Sections 23A and 23B of the FRA (i) limit the extent
to which a financial institution or its subsidiaries may engage in "covered
transactions" with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such
institution's capital stock and surplus for any one affiliate and 20% of such
capital stock and surplus for the aggregate of such transactions with all
affiliates, and (ii) require that all such transactions be on terms
substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the institution or the
subsidiary, as those provided to a non-affiliate. The term "covered
transaction" includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of a
guarantee and similar types of transactions. In addition to limits in Sections
23A and 23B, First Federal and First Savings may not make any loan or other
extension of credit to an affiliate unless the affiliate is engaged only in
activities permissible for a bank holding company and may not purchase or
invest in securities of any affiliate, except shares of a subsidiary.
Exemptions from Sections 23A or 23B of the FRA may be granted only by the FRB.
The Banks were in compliance with these requirements at December 31, 1996.

CHANGE IN CONTROL
FEDERAL LAW. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the "FDIA") provides
that no person, acting directly or indirectly or in concert with one or more
persons, shall acquire control of any insured depository institution or holding
company, unless 60-days prior written notice has been given to the primary
federal regulator for that institution and such regulator has not issued a
notice disapproving the proposed acquisition. Control, for purposes of the
FDIA, means the power, directly or indirectly, alone or acting in concert, to
direct the management or policies of an insured institution or to vote 25% or
more of any class of securities of such institution. Control exists in
situations in which the acquiring party has direct or indirect voting control
of at least 25% of the institution's voting shares, controls in any manner the
election of a majority of the directors of such institution or is determined to
exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of such
institution. In addition, control is presumed to exist, under certain
circumstances where the acquiring party (which includes a group "acting in
concert") has voting control of at least 10% of the institution's voting stock.
These restrictions do not apply to holding company acquisitions. See "Holding
Company Regulation".
OHIO LAW. A statutory limitation on the acquisition of control of an
Ohio savings bank requires the written approval of the Division prior to the
acquisition by any person or entity of a controlling interest in an Ohio
association. Control exists, for purposes of Ohio law, when any person or
entity which, either directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with one or
more other persons or entities, owns, controls, holds with power to vote, or
holds proxies representing, 15% or more of the voting shares or rights of an
association, or controls in any manner the election or appointment of a
majority of the directors. A director will not be deemed to be in control by
virtue of an annual solicitation of proxies voted as directed by a majority of
the board of directors. Ohio law also requires that certain acquisitions of
voting securities that would result in the acquiring shareholder owning 20%,
33-1/3% or 50% of the outstanding voting securities of Camco must be approved
in advance by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding voting
shares represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present and a majority of
the portion of the outstanding voting shares represented at such a meeting,
excluding the voting shares by the acquiring shareholder. This statute was
intended, in part, to protect shareholders of Ohio corporations from coercive
tender offers. Under certain circumstances, interstate mergers and acquisitions
involving savings banks incorporated under Ohio law are permitted by Ohio law.
A financial institution or financial institution holding company with its
principal place of business in another state may acquire a savings and loan
association or savings and loan holding company incorporated under Ohio law if,
in the discretion of the Division, the laws of such other state give an Ohio
institution or an Ohio holding company reciprocal rights.
HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION
Camco is a multiple savings and loan holding company subject to the
regulatory oversight, examination and enforcement authority of the OTS. Though
Cambridge Savings and Marietta Savings are not savings associations, they have
elected to be treated as such for holding company purposes, so that Camco is
not regulated as a bank holding company. Camco is required to register and file
periodic reports with the OTS. If the OTS determines that the continuation of a
particular activity by a savings and loan holding company constitutes a serious
threat to the financial condition of its subsidiary institutions, the OTS may
impose restrictions on the holding company. Such restrictions may include
limiting the payment of dividends, transactions with affiliates or any other
activities deemed to pose a serious threat to the subsidiary institutions.
Generally, no savings and loan holding company may (i) acquire or
retain control of a savings association or another savings and loan holding
company or control the assets thereof or (ii) acquire or retain more than 5% of
the voting shares of a savings association or holding company thereof, which is
not a subsidiary, without the prior written approval of the Director of the
OTS. Additionally, under certain circumstances a savings and loan holding
company is permitted to acquire, with the approval of the Director of the OTS,
up to 15% of the previously unissued voting shares of an undercapitalized
savings association for cash, without such savings association being deemed to
be controlled by the holding company. Except with the prior approval of the
Director of the OTS, no director or officer of a savings and loan holding
company or person owning or controlling by proxy or otherwise more than 25% of
such company's stock may also acquire control of any savings institution, other
than a subsidiary institution, or any other savings and loan holding company.
The Director of the OTS may approve acquisitions resulting in the
formation of a multiple savings and loan holding company which controls savings
associations in more than one state, if the multiple savings and loan holding
company involved controls a savings association which operated a home or branch
office in the state of the association to be acquired as of March 5, 1987, or
if the laws of the state in which the institution to be acquired is located
specifically permit institutions to be acquired by state-chartered institutions
or savings and loan holding companies located in the state where the acquiring
entity is located (or by a holding company that controls such state-chartered
savings institutions). As under prior law, the Director of the OTS may
-24-
<PAGE> 25
approve an acquisition resulting in a multiple savings and loan holding company
controlling savings associations in more than one state in the case of certain
emergency thrift acquisitions.
As a multiple savings and loan holding company, the activities of
Camco and those of any of its subsidiaries (other than the Banks) are subject
to certain restrictions. Generally, no multiple savings and loan holding
company or subsidiary thereof that is not a savings association may engage in
any business activity other than (i) furnishing or performing management
services for a subsidiary savings association, (ii) conducting an insurance
agency or an escrow business, (iii) holding, managing or liquidating assets
owned by or acquired from a subsidiary savings association, (iv) holding or
managing properties used or occupied by a subsidiary savings association, (v)
acting as trustee under deeds of trust, (vi) engaging in those activities
previously directly authorized by federal regulation as of March 5, 1987, to be
engaged in by multiple holding companies, or (vii) furnishing or performing
such other services or engaging in those activities authorized by the FRB as
permissible for bank holding companies, unless the director of the OTS by
regulation prohibits or limits such activities for savings and loan holding
companies. Those activities described in (vii) above must also be approved by
the Director of the OTS prior to being engaged in by a multiple holding
company.
Federal law provides that an insured institution shall be liable for
any loss incurred by the FDIC in connection with the default or potential
default of, or federal assistance provided to, an insured institution which is
controlled by the same holding company. Such loss would be apportioned among
all of the insured institutions controlled by the holding company.
FEDERAL RESERVE REQUIREMENTS
FRB regulations currently require savings associations to maintain
reserves of 3% of net transaction accounts (primarily NOW accounts) up to $49.3
million (subject to an exemption of up to $4.4 million), and of 10% of net
transaction accounts in excess of $49.3 million. At December 31, 1996, each of
the Banks was in compliance with its reserve requirements.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM
The FHLBs provide credit to their members in the form of advances. As
members of the FHLB of Cincinnati, the Banks are each required to maintain an
investment in the capital stock of the FHLB of Cincinnati in an amount equal to
the greater of 1.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of their
residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts and similar obligations at
the beginning of each year, or 5% of their advances from the FHLB of
Cincinnati. Camco is in compliance with this requirement with an aggregate
investment by the Banks in FHLB of Cincinnati stock of $3.9 million at December
31, 1996.
Upon the origination or renewal of a loan or advance, the FHLB of
Cincinnati is required to obtain and to maintain a security interest in
collateral in one or more of the following categories: fully disbursed, whole
first mortgage loans on improved residential property or securities
representing a whole interest in such loans; securities issued, insured or
guaranteed by the United States Government or an agency thereof; deposits in
any FHLB; or other real estate related collateral (up to 30% of the member's
capital) acceptable to the applicable FHLB, if such collateral has a readily
ascertainable value and the FHLB can perfect its security interest in the
collateral.
Each FHLB is required to establish standards of community investment
or service that its members must maintain for continued access to long-term
advances from the FHLBs. The standards take into account a member's performance
under the Community Reinvestment Act and its record of lending to first-time
home buyers. All long-term advances by each FHLB must be made only to provide
funds for residential housing finance. The FHLBs have established the
"Affordable Housing Program" to subsidize the interest rate on advances to
member associations engaged in lending for long-term, low- and moderate-income,
owner-occupied and affordable rental housing at subsidized rates. The FHLB of
Cincinnati reviews and accepts proposals for subsidies under that program twice
a year. Cambridge Savings and First Federal have participated in this program.
FEDERAL TAXATION
Camco and its subsidiaries are each subject to the federal tax laws
and regulations which apply to corporations generally. In addition to the
regular income tax, Camco and its subsidiaries are subject to a minimum tax. An
alternative minimum tax is imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20% on "alternative
minimum taxable income" (which is the sum of a corporation's regular taxable
income, with certain adjustments, and tax preference items), less any available
exemption. Such tax preference items include interest on certain tax-exempt
bonds issued after August 7, 1986. In addition, 75% of the amount by which a
corporation's "adjusted current earnings" exceeds its alternative minimum
taxable income computed
-25-
<PAGE> 26
without regard to this preference item and prior to reduction by net operating
losses, is included in alternative minimum taxable income. Net operating losses
can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. The
alternative minimum tax is imposed to the extent it exceeds the corporation's
regular income tax. Payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits
against regular tax liabilities in future years. In addition, for taxable years
after 1986 and before 1996, Camco and its subsidiaries are also subject to an
environmental tax equal to 0.12% of the excess of alternative minimum taxable
income for the taxable year (determined without regard to net operating losses
and the deduction for the environmental tax) over $2.0 million.
Prior to the enactment of the Small Business Jobs Protection Act (the
"Act"), which was signed into law on August 21, 1996, certain thrift
institutions, including the Banks, were allowed deductions for bad debts under
methods more favorable than those granted to other taxpayers. Qualified thrift
institutions could compute deductions for bad debts using either the specific
charge off method of Section 166 of the Code, or one of the two reserve methods
of Section 593 of the Code. The reserve methods under Section 593 of the Code
permitted a thrift institution annually to elect to deduct bad debts under
either (i) the "percentage of taxable income" method applicable only to thrift
institutions, or (ii) the "experience" method that also was available to small
banks. Under the "percentage of taxable income" method, a thrift institution
generally was allowed a deduction for an addition to its bad debt reserve equal
to 8% of its taxable income (determined without regard to this deduction and
with additional adjustments). Under the experience method, a thrift institution
was generally allowed a deduction for an addition to its bad debt reserve equal
to the greater of (i) an amount based on its actual average experience for
losses in the current and five preceding taxable years, or (ii) an amount
necessary to restore the reserve to its balance as of the close of the base
year. A thrift institution could elect annually to compute its allowable
addition to bad debt reserves for qualifying loans either under the experience
method or the percentage of taxable income method. For tax years 1995, 1994 and
1993, Camco used the percentage of taxable income method because such method
provided a higher bad debt deduction than the experience method.
The Act eliminated the percentage of taxable income reserve method of
accounting for bad debts by thrift institutions, effective for taxable years
beginning after 1995. Thrift institutions that would be treated as small banks
are allowed to utilize the experience method applicable to such institutions,
while thrift institutions that are treated as large banks are required to use
only the specific charge off method.
A thrift institution required to change its method of computing
reserves for bad debt will treat such change as a change in the method of
accounting, initiated by the taxpayer, and having been made with the consent of
the Secretary of the Treasury. Section 481(a) of the Code requires certain
amounts to be recaptured with respect to such change. Generally, the amounts to
be recaptured will be determined solely with respect to the "applicable excess
reserves" of the taxpayer. The amount of the applicable excess reserves will be
taken into account ratably over a six-taxable year period, beginning with the
first taxable year beginning after 1995, subject to the residential loan
requirement described below. In the case of a thrift institution that becomes a
large bank, the amount of the institution's applicable excess reserves
generally is the excess of (i) the balances of its reserve for losses on
qualifying real property loans (generally loans secured by improved real
estate) and its reserve for losses on nonqualifying loans (all other types of
loans) as of the close of its last taxable year beginning before January 1,
1996, over (ii) the balances of such reserves as of the close of its last
taxable year beginning before January 1, 1988 (i.e., the "pre-1988 reserves").
In the case of a thrift institution that becomes a small bank, the amount of
the institution's applicable excess reserves generally is the excess of (i) the
balances of its reserve for losses on qualifying real property loans and its
reserve for losses on nonqualifying loans as of the close of its last taxable
year beginning before January 1, 1996, over (ii) the greater of the balance of
(a) its pre-1988 reserves or (b) what the thrift's reserves would have been at
the close of its last year beginning before January 1, 1996, had the thrift
always used the experience method.
For taxable years that begin after December 31, 1995, and before
January 1, 1998, if a thrift meets the residential loan requirement for a tax
year, the recapture of the applicable excess reserves otherwise required to be
taken into account as a Code Section 481(a) adjustment for the year will be
suspended. A thrift meets the residential loan requirement if, for the tax
year, the principal amount of residential loans made by the thrift during the
year is not less then its base amount. The "base amount" generally is the
average of the principal amounts of the residential loans made by the thrift
during the six most recent tax years beginning before January 1, 1996. A
residential loan is a loan as described in Section 7701(a)(19)(C)(v) (generally
a loan secured by residential real and church property and certain mobile
homes), but only to the extent that the loan is made to the owner of the
property.
The balance of the pre-1988 reserves is subject to the provisions of
Section 593(e) as modified by the Act which require recapture in the case of
certain excessive distributions to shareholders. The pre-1988 reserves may not
be utilized for payment of cash dividends or other distributions to a
shareholder (including distributions in dissolution or liquidation) or for
-26-
<PAGE> 27
any other purpose (excess to absorb bad debt losses). Distribution of a cash
dividend by a thrift institution to a shareholder is treated as made: first,
out of the institution's post-1951 accumulated earnings and profits; second,
out of the pre-1988 reserves; and third, out of such other accounts as may be
proper. To the extent a distribution by the Banks to Camco is deemed paid out
of its pre-1988 reserves under these rules, the pre-1988 reserves would be
reduced and the Banks' gross income for tax purposes would be increased by the
amount which, when reduced by the income tax, if any, attributable to the
inclusion of such amount in its gross income, equals the amount deemed paid out
of the pre-1988 reserves. As of December 31, 1996, the Banks pre-1988 reserves
for tax purposes totaled approximately $5.9 million. Camco believes the Banks
had approximately $23.6 million of accumulated earnings and profits for tax
purposes as of December 31, 1996, which would be available for dividend
distributions, provided regulatory restrictions applicable to the payment of
dividends are met. See "REGULATION - Federal Regulations -- Limitations on
Capital Distributions." No representation can be made as to whether the Banks
will have current or accumulated earnings and profits in subsequent years.
The tax returns of Camco have been audited or closed without audit
through fiscal year 1992. In the opinion of management, any examination of open
returns would not result in a deficiency which could have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition of Camco.
OHIO TAXATION. Camco and East Ohio are each subject to an Ohio
franchise tax based on the higher of the tax computed on its (1) adjusted net
worth or (2) adjusted federal taxable income.
The Banks are subject to an Ohio franchise tax based on their adjusted
net worth (including certain reserves). The resultant net taxable value of
capital is taxed at a rate of 1.5% for 1995.
CMC and WestMar are subject to the Ohio Dealers in Intangibles
property tax but currently incur no liability because they are owned by Ohio
financial institutions.
DELAWARE TAXATION. As a Delaware corporation, Camco is subject to an
annual franchise tax based on the quantity and par value of its authorized
capital stock and its gross assets. As a savings and loan holding company,
Camco is exempt from Delaware corporate income tax.
KENTUCKY TAXATION. The Commonwealth of Kentucky imposes no income or
franchise taxes on savings institutions. First Savings is subject to an annual
ad valoreum tax which is .1% of First Savings' deposit accounts, common stock
and retained income, with certain deductions for amounts borrowed by depositors
and securities guaranteed by the U.S. Government or certain of its agencies.
WEST VIRGINIA TAXATION. Marietta Savings and WestMar are both subject
to a West Virginia tax on apportioned adjusted net income and a West Virginia
franchise tax on apportioned adjusted capital. The adjusted net income of each
is taxed at a rate of 9.08%. The franchise tax rate is 0.75% of adjusted
capital. The apportionment is based solely on the ratio of gross receipts
derived from West Virginia as compared to gross receipts everywhere.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
GENERAL
Camco's profitability depends primarily on the level of 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 has also been heavily influenced by the level of
other income, including gains on sale of loans, loan servicing fees and other
fees. Camco's operations are also influenced by the level of general,
administrative and other expenses, including salaries and employee benefits,
occupancy expense, federal deposit insurance premiums and 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 Banks.
Utilizing a common marketing theme based on Camco's commitment to personalized
customer service, Camco and its affiliates have grown from $22.4 million of
consolidated assets in 1970 to $469.5 million of consolidated assets at
December 31, 1996. Camco's rate of growth is largely attributable to its
acquisitions of Marietta Savings, First Federal and First Savings and the
continued expansion of product lines from the limited deposit and loan
offerings which could be offered in the heavily regulated environment of the
1970s to the wider 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, by chartering a title insurance agency.
Camco's management believes that continued success in the financial
services industry will be achieved by those institutions with a rigorous
dedication to building value-added customer-oriented organizations. 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.
ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Net interest income, the difference between asset yields and the cost
of interest-bearing liabilities is the principal component of Camco's net
earnings. The ability to maximize net interest income is largely dependent upon
the achievement of a positive interest rate spread that can be sustained during
fluctuations in the prevailing level of interest rates. Interest rate
sensitivity is a measure of the difference between amounts of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities which either reprice or mature within a
given period of time. The difference, or the interest rate repricing "gap",
provides an indication of the extent to which a financial institution's
interest rate spread will be affected by changes in interest rates. A gap is
considered positive when the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets exceeds
the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities and is considered negative
when the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of
interest-rate sensitive assets. Generally, during a period of rising interest
rates, a negative gap within shorter maturities would adversely affect net
interest income, while a positive gap within shorter maturities would result in
an increase in net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling
interest rates, a negative gap within shorter maturities would result in an
increase in net interest income, while a positive gap within shorter maturities
would have the opposite effect.
In recognition of the foregoing factors, the Board of Directors of
each of the Banking Subsidiaries has implemented an asset and liability
management strategy directed toward improving each Bank's interest rate
sensitivity. The principal common elements of such strategies include 1)
meeting the consumer preference for fixed-rate loans over the past several
years by selling such loans in the secondary market and 2) maintaining higher
levels of liquid assets, such as cash, short-term interest-bearing deposits and
short-term investment securities as a hedge against rising interest rates in
the lower interest rate environment and utilizing FHLB advances and longer term
certificates of deposit as funding sources when available.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the amounts of
various categories of assets and liabilities repricing within the periods

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Camco's total assets amounted to $469.5 million as of December 31,
1996, an increase of $123.0 million, or 35.5%, over the $346.5 million total as
of December 31, 1995. The increase in 1996 follows asset growth of $21.8
million, or 6.7%, in 1995. The increase in 1996 was due primarily to the
acquisition of First Ashland Financial Corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiary, First Savings, which resulted in net asset growth of approximately
$80.7 million. The additional increase
-31-
<PAGE> 32
in total assets was funded primarily through growth in the deposit portfolio of
$2.6 million, an increase in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $29.8
million and undistributed net earnings of $1.8 million.
Cash, interest-bearing deposits and certificates of deposit in other
financial institutions totaled $18.9 million at December 31, 1996, an increase
of $3.5 million, or 23.0%, over the 1995 total. Investment securities totaled
$27.0 million at December 31, 1996, an increase of $4.6 million, or 20.5%, over
1995 levels. The increase was primarily attributable to securities acquired
through the Merger totaling $5.9 million, coupled with purchases during 1996 of
$10.0 million, which were partially offset by maturities of $10.8 million and
sales of $427,000. Mortgage-backed securities increased by $5.5 million, or
91.1%, to a total of $11.4 million at December 31, 1996, as a result of
securities acquired through the Merger of $6.7 million, which were partially
offset by principal repayments during the year totaling $1.2 million.
Loans receivable totaled $388.9 million at December 31, 1996, an
increase of $96.2 million, or 32.9%, over the $292.8 million total at December
31, 1995. The increase resulted primarily from loans acquired through the
Merger totaling $64.1 million, coupled with loan originations during 1996 of
$180.8 million, which were partially offset by principal repayments of $87.3
million and sales of loans in the secondary market totaling $61.7 million. Loan
origination volume increased during 1996 by $43.4 million, or 31.6%, as
compared to 1995. During 1996, Camco's volume of loan sales in the secondary
market increased by $22.8 million, or 58.6%, as compared to 1995 sales volume
of $38.9 million.
Camco's consolidated allowance for loan losses totaled $1.2 million,
$1.0 million and $943,000 at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
representing 52.5%, 95.4% and 71.5% of nonperforming loans at those respective
dates. Nonperforming loans totaled $2.4 million, $1.1 million and $1.3 million
at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing .61%, .37% and
.50% of total net loans, including loans held for sale, at those dates. The
increase in nonperforming loans during 1996 was due primarily to the $1.1
million of nonperforming loans in the portfolio acquired in the Merger. This
total included one multi-family loan totaling approximately $530,000 which was
included in the non accrual portfolio, and approximately $480,000 of loans
greater than 90 days deliquent secured by other residential real estate. Over
all, Camco's nonperforming loans consisted of loans secured by residential real
estate totaling $1.6 million, or 65.7%, loans secured by nonresidential real
estate totaling $655,000, or 27.6%, and consumer and other loans totaling
$158,000, or 6.7%. The allowance for loan losses was increased during 1996 as a
result of the Merger by $109,000, which represented the allowance maintained by
First Savings prior to the Merger. The provision for loan losses for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, was primarily attributable to the $62.1
million in loan portfolio growth during that period and to the aforementioned
increase in nonperforming loans. Although management believes that its allowance
for loan losses at December 31, 1996, was 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.
The foregoing statement regarding the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses is a "forward-looking" statement within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Factors that could affect the adequacy of the
loan loss allowance include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) changes
in the national and local economy which may negatively impact the ability of
borrowers to repay their loans and which may cause the value of real estate and
other properties that secure outstanding loans to decline; (2) unforeseen
adverse changes in circumstances with respect to certain large loans; (3)
decreases in the value of collateral securing consumer loans to amounts less
than the outstanding balances of the consumer loans; and (4) determinations by
various regulatory agencies that Camco must recognize additions to its loan
loss allowance based on such regulators' judgment of information available to
them at the time of their examinations.
Cash surrender value of life insurance increased by $4.9 million during
the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase relates the purchase of single
premium key man life insurance, of which Camco is the beneficiary, to
supplemental retirement benefits for certain key officers of the Corporation
and its subsidiaries.
As a result of the Merger, goodwill and other intangible assets totaled
$3.7 million at December 31, 1996.
Deposits increased by $71.4 million, or 24.9%, during the year ended
December 31, 1996, to a total of $358.0 million, compared to the $286.6 million
total at December 31, 1995. The increase resulted primarily from deposits of
$68.9 million acquired in the Merger, coupled with deposit portfolio growth of
$2.6 million, or .9%. Deposit growth during 1995 amounted to $19.7 million, or
7.4%. The increase in 1995 resulted primarily from management's marketing
efforts, coupled with pricing strategies employed to achieve a moderate rate of
growth.
Advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati totaled $57.4 million at December
31, 1996, an increase of $31.3 million, or 119.9%, over the $26.1 million total
at December 31, 1995. The increase was due primarily to net current period
borrowings totaling $29.8 million, coupled with advances of $1.5 million
acquired through the Merger. During 1996 management elected to partially fund
loan origination volume with such advances as an alternative to higher costing
customer deposits.
The Banks are required to maintain minimum regulatory capital levels
pursuant to federal regulations. At December 31, 1996, the Banks' regulatory
capital exceeded the most stringent of these regulations by approximately $20.1
million.

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
AND DECEMBER 31, 1995
GENERAL. Camco's net earnings for the year ended December 31, 1996,
totaled $3.0 million, a decrease of $635,000, or 17.4%, from the $3.6 million in
net earnings recorded for the year ended December 31, 1995. The decrease
resulted primarily from a $3.4 million increase in general, administrative and
other expense due primarily to the one-time SAIF assessment of $1.8 million,
which was partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in net interest income, a
$32,000 decrease in the provision for losses on loans, a $303,000 increase in
other income and a $414,000 decrease in the provision for federal income taxes.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income for the year ended December
31, 1996, amounted to $29.3 million, an increase of $3.8 million, or 15.0%,
over the $25.4 million recorded in 1995. Interest income on loans and
mortgage-backed securities increased by $3.7 million, or 16.0%. The increase
resulted primarily from a $38.7 million increase in the average portfolio
outstanding, coupled with an 18 basis point increase in the average yield, from
8.11% in 1995, to 8.29% in 1996. Interest income on investment securities and
interest-bearing deposits increased by $87,000, or 4.2%, to a total of $2.2
million in 1996. The increase was due primarily to a 50 basis point increase in
yield, to 6.52% in 1996, which was partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease
in the average outstanding balance. The decline in the average balance during
1996 reflects management's decision to redeploy excess liquidity to fund loan
originations, thereby obtaining a more favorable yield.
Interest expense increased during the year ended December 31, 1996, by
$1.8 million, or 12.5%, to a total of $16.0 million, compared to the $14.3
million total recorded in 1995. Interest expense on deposits increased by $1.5
million, or 11.7%, to a total of $13.9 million in 1996. The increase resulted
primarily from growth in the average portfolio outstanding of $25.8 million,
coupled with an increase in the average rate paid on deposits of 10 basis
points, from 4.45% in 1995 to 4.55% in 1996. Interest expense on borrowings
increased by $334,000, or 18.8%, to a total of $2.1 million in 1996. The
increase was due primarily to a $7.7 million increase in the average balance of
borrowings outstanding, which was partially offset by a 44 basis point decline
in the average rate paid on such advances, from 6.37% in 1995 to 5.93% in 1996.
As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest
expense, net interest income increased by approximately $2.0 million, or 18.2%,
to a total of $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. The net
interest rate spread increased by 17 basis points during the year, from 3.27%
in 1995 to 3.44% in 1996, while the net interest margin increased by 20 basis
points, from 3.47% in 1995 to 3.67% in 1996.
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 Banks' market areas and other factors related to the
collectibility of the Banks' loan portfolio. As a result of such analysis,
management recorded a provision for losses on loans totaling $111,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1996, a decrease of $32,000, or 22.4%, from the
$143,000 total recorded in 1995. As stated previously, the current year
provision is primarily attributable to growth in the loan portfolio, coupled
with an increase in nonperforming loans to $2.4 million at December 31, 1996,
compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 1995.
OTHER INCOME. Other income totaled $3.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996, an increase of $303,000, or 9.2%, over the $3.3 million
total for 1995. The increase resulted primarily from a $230,000, or 25.1%,
increase in late charges, rent and other and a $131,000, or 11.6% increase in
gain on sale of loans.
GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND OTHER EXPENSE. General, administrative and
other expense totaled $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, an
increase of $3.4 million, or 38.9%, over the $8.8 million total recorded in
1995. The increase resulted primarily from a $1.7 million, or 279.0%, increase
in federal deposit insurance premiums, which resulted from the legislation
enacted to recapitalize the SAIF, coupled with a $772,000, or 18.4%, increase
in employee compensation and benefits, a $268,000, or 29.7%, increase in
occupancy and equipment, a $77,000, or 23.9%, increase in franchise taxes and a
$477,000, or 24.8%, increase in other operating expense.
During 1996 legislation was enacted to recapitalize the SAIF which
mandated payment of a special one-time assessment for all savings associations,
including the Banks. The assessment was computed based upon the Banks' deposits
as of March 31, 1995. The assessment rate was finalized at $.657 per every $100
of deposits, which resulted in a pre-tax
-33-
<PAGE> 34
charge to 1996 operations of approximately $1.8 million for deposits held by
Cambridge Savings, First Federal and Marietta Savings. The recapitalization
legislation will reduce federal deposit insurance premiums from $.23 per $100 in
deposits to $.065 per $100 in deposits, effective January 1, 1997.
Increases in general, administrative and other expenses during 1996
generally resulted from the effects of the Merger which was consummated on
October 4, 1996. From that date through the end of 1996, operating expenses
reflect the increased size of Camco, as compared to the prior year. In addition
to Merger-related increases, employee compensation and benefits increased
primarily from increased costs associated with retirement and other employee
benefit plans, coupled with normal merit increases and an increase in staffing
levels as a result of growth. The increase in occupancy and equipment resulted
primarily from an increase in depreciation expense following the addition of a
new branch location at First Federal and the construction costs related to the
installation of automated teller machines ("ATMs") during 1996. The increase in
franchise taxes resulted from the increase in stockholders' equity year to year.
The increase in other operating expenses resulted primarily from increased costs
of operations as a result of Camco's growth year to year.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The provision for federal income taxes totaled
$1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, a decrease of $414,000, or
21.7%, from the $1.9 million total recorded in 1995. The decrease resulted
primarily from the decrease in net earnings before taxes of $1.0 million, or
18.9%. The effective tax rates were 33.2% and 34.4% for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
AND DECEMBER 31, 1994
GENERAL. Camco's net earnings for the year ended December 31, 1995,
totaled $3.6 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 43.5%, over the $2.5
million in net earnings recorded for the year ended December 31, 1994. The
increase resulted primarily from a $1.7 million increase in net interest income
and a $715,000 increase in other income, which were partially offset by a
$46,000 increase in the provision for losses on loans, a $621,000 increase in
general, administrative and other expense, and a $599,000 increase in the
provision for federal income taxes.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income for the year ended December
31, 1995, amounted to $25.4 million, an increase of $5.7 million, or 28.8%,
over the $19.7 million recorded in 1994. Interest income on loans and
mortgage-backed securities increased by $6.2 million, or 36.5%. The increase
resulted primarily from a $62.4 million increase in the average portfolio
outstanding, coupled with a 52 basis point increase in the average yield, from
7.59% in 1994 to 8.11% in 1995. Interest income on investment securities and
interest-bearing deposits decreased by $562,000, or 21.3%, to a total of $2.1
million in 1995. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in the average
balance outstanding of $16.4 million, which was partially offset by an 84 basis
point increase in yield, to 6.02% in 1995. The decline in the average balance
during the year reflects management's decision to redeploy excess liquidity to
fund loan originations, thereby obtaining a more favorable yield.
Interest expense increased during the year ended December 31, 1995, by
$4.0 million, or 39.3%, to a total of $14.3 million, compared to 1994. Interest
expense on deposits increased by $3.0 million, or 31.4%, to a total of $12.5
million in 1995. The increase resulted primarily from growth in the average
portfolio outstanding of $25.1 million, coupled with an increase in the average
rate paid on deposits of 73 basis points, from 3.72% in 1994 to 4.45% in 1995.
Interest expense on borrowings increased by $1.0 million, or 141.7%, to a total
of $1.8 million in 1995. The increase was due primarily to a $16.3 million
increase in the average balance of borrowings outstanding.
As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest
expense, net interest income increased by approximately $1.7 million, or 17.4%,
to a total of $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. The net
interest rate spread declined by 5 basis points during the year, from 3.32% in
1994 to 3.27% in 1995, while the net interest margin increased by 2 basis
points, from 3.45% in 1994 to 3.47% in 1995.
PROVISIONS FOR LOSSES ON LOANS. The provision for losses on loans
amounted to $143,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, an increase of
$46,000, or 47.4%, over the $97,000 total recorded in 1994. The 1995 provision
is primarily attributable to growth in the loan portfolio, as nonperforming
loans declined during the period, totaling $1.1 million at December 31, 1995,
compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 1994.
OTHER INCOME. Other income totaled $3.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995, an increase of $715,000, or 27.7%, over the $2.6 million
total for 1994. The increase resulted primarily from a $163,000, or 21.7%,
increase in late charges, rent and other and a $625,000, or 124.8%, increase in
gain on sale of loans, which were partially offset by a $140,000 decline in
gain on sale of real estate acquired through foreclosure. The increase in gain
on sale of loans can be attributed primarily to Camco's adoption of SFAS No.
122 on "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" during 1995. SFAS No. 122
provides for
-34-
<PAGE> 35
recognition of rights to service mortgage loans as separate assets. Camco
adopted SFAS No. 122 as of April 1, 1995, and recorded mortgage servicing
rights totaling $655,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995.
GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND OTHER EXPENSE. General, administrative and
other expense totaled $8.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, an
increase of $621,000, or 7.6%, over the $8.2 million recorded in 1994. The
increase resulted primarily from a $592,000, or 16.4%, increase in employee
compensation and benefits, a $51,000, or 8.9%, increase in federal deposit
insurance premiums and a $31,000, or 10.7%, increase in franchise taxes, which
were partially offset by a decline of $28,000, or 3.0%, in occupancy expense.
The increase in employee compensation and benefits resulted primarily from
normal merit increases and an increase in staffing levels as a result of
growth. The increase in federal deposit insurance premiums can be attributed
to growth in the deposit portfolio year to year, while the increase in
franchise taxes resulted from an increase in stockholders' equity following
Camco's stock offering during 1994.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The provision for federal income taxes totaled
$1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, an increase of $599,000, or
45.7%, over the $1.3 million total recorded in 1994. The increase resulted
primarily from the increase in net earnings before taxes of $1.7 million, or
44.3%. The effective tax rates were 34.4% and 34.0% for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Savings associations are generally required to maintain specified
minimum levels of liquid investments, including cash and qualifying types of
U.S. Government and agency obligations and other specified instruments. The
primary sources of funds to the Banks are deposits, principal and interest
payments made on the portfolio loans, proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans,
maturing investments, FHLB advances and funds provided by operating activities.
Principal uses of funds include deposit withdrawals, loan originations,
investment purchases, repayment of FHLB advances, payment of interest on
deposits and payment of operating expenses. While certain of these sources and
uses of funds are relatively predictable, deposit flows, loan originations and
prepayments of loans are influenced by external factors such as interest rates,
economic conditions, competition and consumer confidence in financial service
industries.
Camco attempts to maintain a stable retail deposit base which does not
utilize brokered deposits. During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
Camco maintained its deposit balance goals by offering competitive, but not
excessive, interest rates on deposits. In addition to growth as a result of the
Merger, the deposit balance increased by $2.6 million due to growth in Camco's
portfolio in 1996. In 1995, deposit balances increased by $19.7 million. As
stated previously, management intends to pursue growth in the current interest
rate environment.
At December 31, 1996, the Banks had total outstanding loan commitments
of $22.2 million, which included outstanding loan origination commitments,
outstanding commitments to purchase loans, undisbursed loans in process of $8.9
million, and borrower's unused lines of credit of $7.5 million. Such
commitments can be funded from current excess liquidity.
Camco's principal source of income on an unconsolidated basis is
earnings and dividends from the Banks. The ability of the Banks
to pay dividends to Camco is subject to certain regulatory restrictions. Each
of the Banks is currently able to pay dividends to Camco to the fullest extent
permitted by federal regulations.
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The consolidated financial statements and related financial data
presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and
results of operations in terms of historical dollars, without considering
changes in relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities
of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates
have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than
does the effect of general levels of inflation. In the current interest rate
environment, the liquidity, the maturity structure and the quality of Camco's
assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable
performance levels.
IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 1994, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 119 "Disclosure
About Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial
Instruments." SFAS No. 119 requires financial statement disclosure of certain
derivative financial instruments, defined as
-35-
<PAGE> 36
futures, forwards, swaps, option contracts, or other financial instruments with
similar characteristics. In the opinion of management, the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 119 will have no material effect on Camco's
consolidated financial condition or results of operations, as Camco does not
invest in derivative financial instruments, as defined. As a result, the
applicability of SFAS No. 119 relates solely to disclosure requirements
pertaining to fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loan commitments.
In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121. "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."
SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for
recoverability, the entity should estimate the future cash flows expected to
result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of
the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is
less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized.
Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and identifiable
intangibles that an entity expects to hold and use should be based on the fair
value of the asset. SFAS No. 121 is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. Earlier application is
encouraged. Management adopted SFAS No. 121 on January 1, 1996, as required,
without material effect on Camco's consolidated financial position or results
of operations.
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", establishing financial accounting and reporting
standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. SFAS No. 123 encourages
all entities to adopt a new method of accounting to measure compensation cost
of all employee stock compensation plans based on the estimated fair value of
the award at the date it is granted. Companies are, however, allowed to
continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value
based method of accounting, which generally does not result in compensation
expense recognition for most plans. Companies that elect to remain with the
existing accounting are require to disclose in a footnote to the financial
statements pro forma net earnings and, if presented, earnings per share, as if
SFAS No. 123 had been adopted. The accounting requirements of SFAS No. 123 are
effective for transactions entered into during fiscal years that begin after
December 15, 1995; however, companies are required to disclose information for
awards granted in their first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1994.
Management has determined that Camco will continue to account for stock-based
compensation pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, and
therefore, the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 will have no effect on its
consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers
of Financial Assets, Servicing Rights, and Extinguishment 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, referred to
as 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.
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 does not believe that adopting of SFAS No. 125 will have
a material adverse effect on Camco's consolidated financial position or results
of operations.

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors
Camco Financial Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of Camco Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated 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 consolidated financial position of Camco Financial
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As more fully explained in Note A-4, the Corporation changed its method of
accounting for gains on sale of loans during the year ended December 31, 1995.

CAMCO FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The business activities of Camco Financial Corporation (the "Corporation")
have been limited primarily to holding the common shares of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries: Cambridge Savings Bank ("Cambridge"), Marietta
Savings Bank ("Marietta"), First Federal Savings Bank of Washington Court
House ("First Federal"), First Federal Bank for Savings ("Ashland")
(collectively hereinafter the "Banks") and East Ohio Land Title Agency,
Inc., and two second tier subsidiaries, Camco Mortgage Corporation and
WestMar Mortgage Company. Accordingly, the Corporation's results of
operations are economically dependent upon the results of the Banks'
operations. The Banks conduct a general commercial banking business in
eastern and central Ohio, northern West Virginia and northeastern Kentucky
which consists of attracting deposits from the general public and applying
those funds to the origination of loans for residential, consumer and
nonresidential purposes. The Banks' profitability is significantly
dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between interest
income generated from interest-earning assets (i.e. loans and investments)
and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e.
customer deposits and borrowed funds). Net interest income is affected by
the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and the interest received or paid on these balances. The level
of interest rates paid or received by the Banks can be significantly
influenced by a number of competitive factors, such as governmental
monetary policy, that are outside of management's control.
The consolidated financial information presented herein has been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and
general accounting practices within the financial services industry. In
preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such
estimates.
The following is a summary of the Corporation's significant accounting
policies which, with the exception of the policy described in Note A-4,
have been consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
1. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Corporation and its wholly-owned and second tier subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
2. Interest Rate Risk
The earnings of the Banks are primarily dependent upon net interest income,
which is determined by 1) the difference between yields earned on
interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities
(interest rate spread) and 2) the relative amounts of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding. The Corporation's
interest rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive
factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. The
Corporation is vulnerable to an increase in interest

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
2. Interest Rate Risk (continued)
rates to the extent that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice
more rapidly than interest-earning assets. At December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, the Corporation had net interest-earning assets of $444.5 million,
$328.0 million and $309.4 million with weighted average effective yields of
8.01%, 8.07% and 7.33% and net interest-bearing liabilities of
approximately $415.4 million, $312.7 million and $293.4 million, with
weighted average effective interest rates of 4.96%, 4.82% and 4.29%. To
minimize the effect of adverse changes in interest rates on its results of
operations, the Corporation has implemented an asset and liability
management plan that emphasizes increasing the interest rate sensitivity
and shortening the maturities of its interest-earning assets and extending
the maturities of its interest-bearing liabilities. Although the
Corporation has undertaken a variety of strategies to minimize its exposure
to interest rate risk, its primary emphasis has been on the origination and
purchase of adjustable rate loans.
3. Investment Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Corporation accounts for investment and mortgage-backed securities in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
SFAS No. 115 requires that investments be categorized as held-to-maturity,
trading, or available for sale. Securities classified as held-to-maturity
are carried at cost only if the Corporation has the positive intent and
ability to hold these securities to maturity. Trading securities and
securities available for sale are carried at fair value with resulting
unrealized gains or losses recorded to operations or stockholders' equity,
respectively. Investment and mortgage-backed securities are classified as
held to maturity or available for sale upon acquisition. At December 31,
1996 and 1995, the Corporation's stockholders' equity reflected net
unrealized gains on securities designated as available for sale of $28,000
and $51,000, respectively. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities
are recognized using the specific identification method.
4. Loans Receivable
Loans held in portfolio are stated at the principal amount outstanding,
adjusted for unamortized yield adjustments, including deferred loan
origination fees and costs and capitalized mortgage servicing rights, and
the allowance for loan losses. The yield adjustments are amortized and
accreted to operations using the interest method over the average life of
the underlying loans.
Interest is accrued as earned unless the collectibility of the loan is in
doubt. Uncollectible interest on loans that are contractually past due is
charged off, or an allowance is established based on management's periodic
evaluation. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income
equal to all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently
recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received until, in
management's judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and
principal payments has returned to normal, in which case the loan is
returned to accrual status.

4. Loans Receivable (continued)
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of acquisition cost (less
principal payments received) or fair value (market value), calculated on an
aggregate basis. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, such loans were carried at
cost, which approximated fair value.
In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
SFAS No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," which requires
that the Corporation recognize as separate assets, rights to service
mortgage loans for others, regardless of how those servicing rights are
acquired. An institution that acquires mortgage servicing rights through
either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sells those loans
with servicing rights retained is required to allocate some of the cost of
the loans to the mortgage servicing rights.
SFAS No. 122 requires that securitization of mortgage loans be accounted
for as sales of mortgage loans and acquisitions of mortgage-backed
securities. Additionally, SFAS No. 122 requires that capitalized mortgage
servicing rights and capitalized excess servicing receivables be assessed
for impairment. Impairment is measured based on fair value.
SFAS No. 122 was effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995,
(January 1, 1996, as to the Corporation) to transactions in which an entity
acquires mortgage servicing rights and to impairment evaluations of all
capitalized mortgage servicing rights and capitalized excess servicing
receivables whenever acquired. Retroactive application was prohibited, and
earlier adoption was encouraged. Management elected early adoption of SFAS
No. 122, which resulted in the recognition of $655,000 in pre-tax gains on
sales of loans during the year ended December 31, 1995. During 1996, the
Corporation recorded $866,000 in pre-tax gains on sales of loans pursuant
to SFAS No. 122.
The mortgage servicing rights recorded by the Banks', calculated in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 122, were segregated into pools
for valuation purposes, using as pooling criteria the loan term and coupon
rate. Once pooled, each grouping of loans was evaluated on a discounted
earnings basis to determine the present value of future earnings that a
purchaser could expect to realize from each portfolio. Earnings were
projected from a variety of sources including loan servicing fees, interest
earned on float, net interest earned on escrows, miscellaneous income, and
costs to service the loans. The present value of future earnings is the
"economic" value for the pool, i.e., the net realizable present value to an
acquirer of the acquired servicing.
The Corporation recorded amortization related to mortgage servicing rights
totaling approximately $99,000 and $20,000 for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the fair value of the
Corporation's mortgage servicing rights totaled approximately $1.4 million
and $655,000, respectively.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Banks were servicing approximately
$265.8 million and $242.9 million, respectively, of mortgage loans that
have been sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and other
investors.

5. Loan Origination and Commitment Fees
The Corporation accounts for loan origination fees and costs in accordance
with SFAS No. 91, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated
with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases".
Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 91, all loan origination fees
received, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred on a
loan-by-loan basis and amortized to interest income using the interest
method, giving effect to actual loan prepayments. Additionally, SFAS No. 91
generally limits the definition of loan origination costs to the direct
costs attributable to originating a loan, i.e., principally actual
personnel costs.
Fees received for loan commitments are deferred and amortized over the life
of the related loan using the interest method.
6. Allowance for Loan Losses
It is the Corporation's policy to provide valuation allowances for
estimated losses on loans based upon past loss experience, trends in the
level of delinquent and specific problem loans, adverse situations that may
affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any
underlying collateral and current and anticipated economic conditions in
the primary market area. When the collection of a loan becomes doubtful, or
otherwise troubled, the Corporation records a loan loss provision equal to
the difference between the fair value of the property securing the loan and
the loan's carrying value. Such provision is based on management's estimate
of the fair value of the underlying collateral, taking into consideration
the current and currently anticipated future operating or sales conditions.
As a result, such estimates are particularly susceptible to changes that
could result in a material adjustment to results of operations in the near
term. Recovery of the carrying value of such loans is dependent to a great
extent on economic, operating, and other conditions that may be beyond the
Corporation's control.
In May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan". SFAS No. 114, which was amended by SFAS No. 118 as
to certain income recognition and financial statement disclosure
provisions, requires that impaired loans be measured based upon the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate or, as an alternative, at the loans observable market price
or fair value of the collateral. The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 114
effective January 1, 1995, as required, without material effect on
consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Under SFAS No. 114, a loan is defined as impaired when, based on current
information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. In applying the provisions of SFAS No. 114, the Corporation
considers its investment in one-to-four family residential loans and
consumer installment loans to be homogeneous and therefore excluded from
separate identification for evaluation of impairment. With respect to the
Corporation's investment in multi-family and nonresidential loans, and its
evaluation of impairment thereof, such loans are collateral dependent and
as a result are carried as a practical expedient at the lower of cost or
fair value.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
6. Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)
It is the Corporation's policy to charge off unsecured credits that are
more than ninety days delinquent. Similarly, collateral dependent loans
which are more than ninety days delinquent are considered to constitute
more than a minimum delay in repayment and are evaluated for impairment
under SFAS No. 114 at that time.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Corporation had no loans that would be
defined as impaired under SFAS No. 114.
7. Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure
Real estate acquired through foreclosure is carried at the lower of the
loan's unpaid principal balance (cost) or fair value less estimated selling
expenses at the date of acquisition. Real estate loss provisions are
recorded if the properties' fair value subsequently declines below the
amount determined at the recording date. In determining the lower of cost
or fair value at acquisition, costs relating to development and improvement
of property are capitalized. Costs relating to holding real estate acquired
through foreclosure, net of rental income, are charged against earnings as
incurred.
8. Office Premises and Equipment
Depreciation of office premises and equipment is computed using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the assets, estimated
to be ten to fifty years for buildings and improvements and three to
twenty-five years for furniture, fixtures and equipment.
9. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Ashland, net of amortization
recorded in 1996, totaled approximately $3.7 million, and is being
amortized over a twenty-five year period using the straight-line method.
Management periodically evaluates the carrying value of these intangible
assets in relation to the continuing earnings capacity of the acquired
assets and assumed liabilities.
In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." SFAS No.
121 provides guidance on when to recognize and how to measure impairment
losses of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles and how to
value long-lived assets to be disposed of. The Corporation adopted SFAS No.
121 effective January 1, 1996, as required, without material effect on
consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

10. Federal Income Taxes
The Corporation accounts for federal income taxes in accordance with SFAS
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS
No. 109, a deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is computed by
applying the current statutory tax rates to net taxable or deductible
temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and
its reported amount in the financial statements that will result in taxable
or deductible amounts in future periods. Deferred tax assets are recorded
only to the extent that the amount of net deductible temporary differences
or carryforward attributes may be utilized against current period earnings,
carried back against prior years' earnings, offset against taxable
temporary differences reversing in future periods, or utilized to the
extent of management's estimate of future taxable income. A valuation
allowance is provided for deferred tax assets to the extent that the value
of net deductible temporary differences and carryforward attributes exceeds
management's estimates of taxes payable on future taxable income. Deferred
tax liabilities are provided on the total amount of net temporary
differences taxable in the future.
The Corporation's principal temporary differences between pretax financial
income and taxable income result primarily from the different methods of
accounting for deferred loan origination fees, Federal Home Loan Bank stock
dividends, the general loan loss allowance, percentage of earnings bad debt
deductions and certain components of retirement expense. A temporary
difference is also recognized for depreciation expense computed using
accelerated methods for federal income tax purposes.
11. Earnings Per Share and Dividends Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares (which includes those stock options
that are dilutive) outstanding during the respective periods, adjusted to
reflect a 5% stock dividend effected during the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995. Dividends per share for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994, have also been adjusted to reflect the effect of such stock
dividends.
12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments",
requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial
condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases
where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those
techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including
the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the
derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to
independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate
settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial
instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure
requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do
not represent the underlying value of the Corporation.

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a
material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount reported in
the consolidated statement of financial condition for cash
and cash equivalents is deemed to approximate fair value.
Certificates of Deposit in Other Financial Institutions: For
certificates of deposit in other financial institutions, fair
values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses,
using interest rates currently being offered for such
deposits with similar remaining maturities.
Investment Securities and Mortgage-backed Securities: Fair
values for investment securities and mortgage-backed
securities are based on quoted market prices and dealer
quotes.
Loans receivable: The loan portfolio has been segregated into
categories with similar characteristics, such as one- to
four-family residential real estate, multi-family residential
real estate, installment and other. These loan categories
were further delineated into fixed-rate and adjustable-rate
loans. The fair values for the resultant loan categories
were computed via discounted cash flow analysis, using
current interest rates offered for loans with similar terms
to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock: The carrying amount presented
in the consolidated statement of financial condition is
deemed to approximate fair value.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable: The
carrying amount as reported in the consolidated statement of
financial condition is deemed a reasonable estimate of fair
value.
Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance: The carrying amount
as reported in the consolidated statement of financial
condition is deemed to approximate fair value.
Deposits: The fair values of deposits with no stated
maturity, such as money market demand deposits, savings and
NOW accounts, are deemed equal to the amount payable on
demand as of December 31, 1996 and 1995. The fair value of
fixed-rate certificates of deposit is based on the discounted
value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is
estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of
similar remaining maturities.

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank: The fair value of
these advances is estimated using the rates currently offered
for similar advances of similar remaining maturities or, when
available, quoted market prices.
Advances by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance: The carrying
amount of advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance is
deemed to approximate fair value.
Commitments to extend credit: For fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate loan commitments, the fair value estimate
considers the difference between current levels of interest
rates and committed rates. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the
difference between the fair value and notional amount of loan
commitments was not material.
Based on the foregoing methods and assumptions, the carrying value and fair
value of the Corporation's financial instruments are as follows:

As depicted above, the Corporation's lending efforts have historically
focused on loans secured by existing residential properties, which comprise
approximately $340.0 million, or 88%, of the total loan portfolio at
December 31, 1996 and approximately $243.8 million, or 84%, of the total
loan portfolio at December 31, 1995. Generally, such loans have been
underwritten on the basis of no more than an 80% loan-to-value ratio, which
has historically provided the Corporation with adequate collateral coverage
in the event of default. Nevertheless, the Corporation, as with any lending
institution, is subject to the risk that residential real estate values
could deteriorate in its primary lending areas of central and eastern Ohio,
northern West Virginia, and northeastern Kentucky, thereby impairing
collateral values. However, management is of the belief that residential
real estate values in the Corporation's primary lending areas are presently
stable.
The Banks, in the ordinary course of business, have granted loans to
certain of their directors, executive officers, and their associates. Such
loans are made on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral,
as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated
persons and do not involve more than normal risk of collectibility. The
aggregate dollar amount of these loans (excluding loans to any such
individual which in the aggregate did not exceed $60,000) was less than 5%
of stockholders' equity at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

The Banks were allowed a special bad debt deduction generally limited to 8%
of otherwise taxable income, subject to certain limitations based on
aggregate loans and savings account balances at the end of the year. If the
amounts that qualify as deductions for federal income taxes are later used
for purposes other than for bad debt losses, including distributions in
liquidations, such distributions will be subject to federal income taxes at
the then current corporate income tax rate. The percentage of earnings bad
debt deduction had accumulated to approximately $7.6 million as of December
31, 1996. The amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability relating to
the cumulative bad debt deduction was approximately $2.0 million at
December 31, 1996. See Note P for additional information regarding future
percentage of earnings bad debt deductions.
NOTE I - COMMITMENTS
The Banks are parties to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their
customers including commitments to extend credit. Such commitments involve,
to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of
the amount recognized in the consolidated statement of financial condition.
The contract or notional amounts of the commitments reflect the extent of
the Banks' involvement in such financial instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
NOTE I - COMMITMENTS (continued)
The Banks' exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The
Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as those utilized for on-balance-sheet instruments.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Banks had outstanding commitments to
originate or purchase fixed rate loans of approximately $1.4 million and
$2.7 million, respectively, and adjustable rate loans of approximately $4.4
million and $4.0 million, respectively. Additionally, the Banks had unused
lines of credit under home equity loans of $7.5 million at December 31,
1996. Management believes that all loan commitments are able to be funded
through cash flow from operations and existing excess liquidity. Fees
received in connection with these commitments have not been recognized in
earnings.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Banks evaluate each
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension
of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Collateral on loans may vary but the preponderance of loans granted
generally include a mortgage interest in real estate as security.
NOTE J - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Cambridge and Marietta are subject to the regulatory capital requirements
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). First Federal
Savings Bank and First Federal Bank for Savings are subject to minimum
regulatory capital standards promulgated by the Office of Thrift
Supervision (the "OTS"). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory -- and possibly additional discretionary
-actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material
effect on each of the Banks' financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the
Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of the Banks' assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Banks'
capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other
factors.
During the calendar year, each of the Banks were notified from their
respective regulators that the Banks were categorized as "well-capitalized"
under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be
categorized as "well-capitalized" the Banks' must maintain minimum capital
ratios as set forth in the following tables.

CAMCO FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
NOTE J - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (continued)
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has adopted risk-based
capital ratio guidelines to which Cambridge and Marietta are subject. The
guidelines establish a systematic analytical framework that makes
regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk
profiles among banking organizations. Risk-based capital ratios are
determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet commitments
to four risk-weighting categories, with higher levels of capital being
required for the categories perceived as representing greater risk.
These guidelines divide the capital into two tiers. The first tier ("Tier
1") includes common equity, certain non-cumulative perpetual preferred
stock (excluding auction rate issues) and minority interests in equity
accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain other
intangible assets (except mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit
card relationships, subject to certain limitations). Supplementary ("Tier
II") capital includes, among other items, cumulative perpetual and
long-term limited-life preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities,
certain hybrid capital instruments, term subordinated debt and the
allowance for loan losses, subject to certain limitations, less required
deductions. Savings banks are required to maintain a total risk-based
capital ratio of 8%, of which 4% must be Tier 1 capital. The FDIC may,
however, set higher capital requirements when particular circumstances
warrant. Savings banks experiencing or anticipating significant growth are
expected to maintain capital ratios, including tangible capital positions,
well above the minimum levels.
In addition, the FDIC established guidelines prescribing a minimum Tier 1
leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets as specified in the
guidelines). These guidelines provide for a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio
of 3% for savings banks that meet certain specified criteria, including
that they have the highest regulatory rating and are not experiencing or
anticipating significant growth. All other savings banks are required to
maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% plus an additional cushion of at
least 100 to 200 basis points.
As of December 31, 1996, management believes that Cambridge and Marietta
meet all capital adequacy requirements to which the Banks are subject.

</TABLE>
The minimum capital standards of the OTS generally require the maintenance
of regulatory capital sufficient to meet each of three tests, hereinafter
described as the tangible capital requirement, the core capital requirement
and the risk-based capital requirement. The tangible capital requirement
provides for minimum tangible capital (defined as stockholders' equity less
all intangible assets) equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets. The core
capital requirement provides for minimum core capital (tangible capital
plus certain forms of supervisory goodwill and other qualifying intangible
assets) equal to 3.0% of adjusted total assets. An OTS proposal, if adopted
in present form, would increase the core capital requirement to a range of
4.0% - 5.0% of adjusted total assets for substantially all savings
associations. Management anticipates no material change to the Banks'
excess regulatory capital position as a result of this proposed change in
the regulatory capital requirement. The risk-based capital requirement
currently provides for the maintenance of core capital plus general loss
allowances equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. In computing
risk-weighted assets, the Banks' multiply the value of each asset on their
respective statement of financial condition by a defined risk-weighting
factor, e.g., one- to four-family residential loans carry a risk-weighted
factor of 50%.
As of December 31, 1996, management believes that First Federal and Ashland
meet all capital adequacy requirements to which the Banks are subject.

The Corporation's management believes that, under the current regulatory
capital regulations, the Banks will continue to meet their minimum capital
requirements in the foreseeable future. However, events beyond the control
of the Corporation, such as increased interest rates or a downturn in the
economy in the subsidiaries' market areas, could adversely affect future
earnings and, consequently, the ability to meet future minimum regulatory
capital requirements.
Regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) impose limitations on
the payment of dividends and other capital distributions by savings
associations. Under such regulations, a savings association that,
immediately prior to, and on a pro forma basis after giving effect to, a
proposed capital distribution, has total capital (as defined by OTS
regulation) that is equal to or greater than the amount of its fully
phased-in capital requirement is generally permitted without OTS approval
(but subsequent to 30 days prior notice to the OTS of the planned dividend)
to make capital distributions during a calendar year in the amount of (i)
up to 100% of its net earnings to date during the year plus an amount equal
to one-half of the amount by which its total capital to assets ratio
exceeded its fully phased-in capital to assets ratio at the beginning of
the year (ii) or 75% of its net income for the most recent four quarters.
Pursuant to such OTS dividend regulations, the Banks had the ability to pay
dividends of approximately $7.3 million to Camco Financial Corporation at
December 31, 1996.
NOTE K - BENEFIT PLANS
The Corporation has a non-contributory insured defined benefit pension plan

Coincident with the termination of the pension plan, the Corporation
undertook a retirement plan in 1996 which provides retirement benefits to
certain key officers. The Corporation's obligations under the plan have been
provided for via the purchase of single premium key man life insurance of
which the Corporation is the beneficiary. The Corporation recorded expense
related to the plan totaling approximately $37,000 during the year ended
December 31, 1996.
The Corporation also has a 401(k) Salary Savings Plan covering
substantially all employees. Total expense under this plan was $93,000,

NOTE L - STOCK OPTION PLANS
Stockholders of the Corporation have approved three stock option plans.
Under the 1972 Plan, 161,416 common shares were reserved for issuance to
officers, directors, and key employees of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries. The 1982 Plan reserved 73,539 common shares for issuance to
employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Under the 1995 Plan,
97,650 shares were reserved for issuance. As of December 31, 1996, options
to purchase 73,500 shares were awarded to officers, directors, and key
employees at $16.15 per share, the common stock's adjusted fair value on
the grant date, and were subject to exercise at the discretion of the
grantees through 2005. At December 31, 1996, no options under the 1995 Plan
have been exercised. The foregoing number of shares under option have been
adjusted to reflect the 5% stock dividends effected during the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, and the stock split effected in the form
of a 100% stock dividend in 1993. At December 31, 1996, all of the stock
options under the 1972 and 1982 Plans had been granted and were subject to

Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of First Ashland Financial
Corporation, the stock options of First Ashland were converted into 160,772

per share which expire on October 25, 2005. As of December 31, 1996, none
of these options had been exercised.
On January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," which contains a fair value-based method for
valuing stock-based compensation that entities may use, which measures
compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award.
Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is usually
the vesting period. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 permits entities to
continue to account for employee stock options and similar equity
instruments under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Entities that continue to
account for stock options using APB Opinion No. 25 are required to make pro
forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share, as if the fair
value-based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.
Such disclosures are not required for the Corporation since no stock
options were granted in 1996. The Corporation's employee stock option plans
are accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25.

NOTE O - BUSINESS COMBINATION
On October 4, 1996, the Corporation acquired First Ashland Financial
Corporation utilizing the purchase method of accounting. First Ashland was
dissolved upon consummation, with First Ashland's banking subsidiary, First
Federal Bank for Savings, continuing operations as a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Corporation. The results of First Federal Bank for
Savings' operations subsequent to October 4, 1996 are included in the
consolidated financial statements. Camco paid $13.2 million in cash and
issued 987,247 of its common shares in connection with the acquisition,
with the $3.7 million excess of the fair value of liabilities assumed over
assets received, assigned to goodwill.
Presented below are pro-forma condensed consolidated statements of earnings
and earnings per share which have been prepared as if the acquisition had
been consummated as of the beginning of each of the years ended December

NOTE P - LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENTS
The deposit accounts of the Banks and of other savings associations are
insured by the FDIC through the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF"). The reserves of the SAIF were below the level required by law,
because a significant portion of the assessments paid into the fund were
used to pay the cost of prior thrift failures. The deposit accounts of
commercial banks are insured by the FDIC through the Bank Insurance Fund
("BIF"), except to the extent such banks have acquired SAIF deposits. The
reserves of the BIF met the level required by law in May 1995. As a result
of the respective reserve levels of the funds, deposit insurance
assessments paid by healthy savings associations exceeded those paid by
healthy commercial banks by approximately $.19 per $100 in deposits in
1995. In 1996, no BIF assessments were required for healthy commercial
banks except for a $2,000 minimum fee.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
NOTE P - LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENTS (continued)
Legislation was enacted to recapitalize the SAIF that provided for a
special assessment totaling $.657 per $100 of SAIF deposits held at March
31, 1995, in order to increase SAIF reserves to the level required by law.
The Banks held $277.3 million in deposits at March 31, 1995, resulting in
an assessment of approximately $1.8 million, or $1.2 million after tax,
which was charged to operations in 1996.
A component of the recapitalization plan provides for the merger of the
SAIF and BIF on January 1, 1999. However, the SAIF recapitalization
legislation currently provides for an elimination of the thrift charter or
of the separate federal regulation of thrifts prior to the merger of the
deposit insurance funds. As a result, First Federal and Ashland would be
regulated as banks under federal laws which would subject it to the more
restrictive activity limits imposed on national banks. Under separate
legislation related to the recapitalization plan, the Banks are required to
recapture as taxable income approximately $1.7 million of their bad debt
reserve, which represents the post-1987 additions to the reserve, and will
be unable to utilize the percentage of earnings method to compute the
reserve in the future. The Banks have provided deferred taxes for this
amount and will be permitted to amortize the recapture of the bad debt
reserve in taxable income over six years.

Whole Board, but only if a majority of the members of the Board of Directors in
office and acting upon such matter shall be Continuing Directors.
(3) A majority of the Continuing Directors then in office shall have

relieve any Substantial Stockholder from any fiduciary obligation imposed by
law.

Security of the corporation to
-7-

merge or consolidate the corporation with another corporation, or to purchase
or otherwise acquire all or a Substantial Part of the properties and assets of
the corporation, or any proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the
corporation shall, in connection with the exercise of its Judgment in
determining what is in the best interests of the corporation and its
stockholders, give due consideration to all relevant factors, including without
limitation:
(A) The best interest of the stockholders. For this purpose,
the Directors shall consider, among other factors, not only the
consideration offered in relation to the then current market price of
the outstanding stock of the corporation, but also in relation to the
current value of the corporation in a freely negotiated transaction
and in relation to the Board of Directors' then current estimate of
the future value of the corporation as an independent entity or as the
subject of a future transaction; and
(B) The best interests of depositors of savings institutions
affiliated with the corporation; and
(C) Such other factors as the Board of Directors determines
to be relevant, including, among other factors, the social, legal and

intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,

(4) For any transaction from which the Director derived an improper
personal benefit.
If the General Corporation Law of Delaware is amended after approval
by the stockholders of this Article THIRTEENTH to authorize corporate action
further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the
liability of a director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to
the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as so
amended.
Any repeal or modification of this Article THIRTEENTH by the
stockholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a Director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal
or modification.
-8-
<PAGE> 10
FOURTEENTH:
(l) Except as otherwise provided in any By-Law adopted by the
stockholders, the By-Laws may be altered, amended or repealed by-the
affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the Whole Board; provided,
however, that any By-Law that provides for the division of the Directors into
classes having staggered terms may be adopted, altered, amended or repealed
only by the stockholders.
(2) No By-Law of the corporation shall be adopted, repealed, altered,
amended or rescinded by the stockholders of the corporation except by the
affirmative vote of at least 80% of the Voting Stock entitled to vote thereon.
Any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation which shall contravene any
By-Law in existence on the record date of the meeting of stockholders at which
such amendment is to be voted upon by the stockholders shall require the
affirmative vote of at least 80% of the Voting Stock entitled to vote thereon.
FIFTEENTH:
(l) In addition to any requirements of law and any other provisions of
the Certificate of Incorporation or any resolution or resolutions of the Board
of Directors adopted pursuant to Article FOURTH of the Certificate of
Incorporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be
specified by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, any such resolution or
resolutions or otherwise), the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the Voting
Stock shall be required to amend, alter or repeal, or to adopt any provision
inconsistent with, Articles EIGHTH, NINTH, TENTH, TWELFTH, THIRTEENTH,
FOURTEENTH or FIFTEENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, and the
affirmative vote of at least 80% of the Voting Stock, including at least a
majority of the Voting Stock not beneficially owned by a Substantial
Stockholder, shall be required to amend, alter or repeal, or to adopt any
provision inconsistent with, Article ELEVENTH of the Certificate of
Incorporation.
(2) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph (1) of this Article
FIFTEENTH, the corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal
any provision contained in the Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now
or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred on stockholders
herein are granted subject to this reservation.
This Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation was adopted by the

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, 1996 and 1995, supplemental information as of December 31, 1996,
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. These statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
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, 1996 and 1995, supplemental information as of December 31,
1996, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

CAMCO FINANCIAL CORPORATION 401(k) SALARY SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
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. 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 and 1994, 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:

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (continued)
5. INVESTMENT OPTIONS
Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct contributions in
various investment options.
o FIDELITY BLUE CHIP GROWTH FUND -- The fund invests approximately 60
percent of its assets in common stock of Blue Chip companies.
o ACORN FUND -- An aggressive growth mutual fund that invests in primarily
stocks of smaller companies.
o TEMPLETON FOREIGN FUND -- An aggressive growth mutual fund that invests
primarily in stocks of foreign companies.
o VANGUARD INDEX TRUST FUND -- A mutual fund that invests primarily in
Blue Chip companies.
o 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.
o CAMBRIDGE SAVINGS CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT FUND -- Funds are invested in
certificates of deposit with a subsidiary of Camco Financial
Corporation.
o 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 lessor 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.

CAMCO FINANCIAL CORPORATION 401(k) SALARY SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
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
Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Peoples Bank,
the trustee of the Plan. The Plan also offers participants the option of
investing in shares of stock of the Plan sponsor, Camco Financial
Corporation and, therefore, these transactions qualify as
party-in-interest.
