                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       Basis of Presentation

         The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  were
         prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and,  therefore,
         do not  include  information  or  footnotes  necessary  for a  complete
         presentation  of financial  position,  results of  operations  and cash
         flows in conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.
         Accordingly,  these financial  statements should be read in conjunction
         with the consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto of Camco
         Financial  Corporation  ("Camco",  or the  "Corporation")  included  in
         Camco's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year  ended  December  31,
         1999.  However,  all adjustments  (consisting  only of normal recurring
         accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
         presentation  of  the  consolidated   financial  statements  have  been
         included.  The  results  of  operations  for the nine and  three  month
         periods ended September 30, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the
         results which may be expected for the entire year.

         In January 2000, the Corporation  acquired Westwood Homestead Financial
         Corporation  ("Westwood  Financial")  utilizing the purchase  method of
         accounting  (the  "Merger").  Westwood  Financial  was  dissolved  upon
         consummation of the Merger and Westwood Financial's banking subsidiary,
         Westwood Homestead Savings Bank, continued operations as a wholly-owned
         subsidiary  of the  Corporation.  Camco paid $11.1  million in cash and
         issued 1,304,875 of its common shares in connection with the Merger.

2.       Principles of Consolidation

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
         of Camco and its six wholly-owned subsidiaries:  Cambridge Savings Bank
         ("Cambridge  Savings"),  Marietta  Savings Bank  ("Marietta  Savings"),
         First Federal Savings Bank of Washington Court House ("First Federal"),
         First Federal Bank for Savings ("First  Savings"),  Westwood  Homestead
         Savings Bank  ("Westwood")  (collectively  hereinafter "the Banks") and
         Camco  Title  Insurance  Agency,  Inc.,  as  well  as two  second  tier
         subsidiaries,  Camco Mortgage Corporation and WestMar Mortgage Company.
         All  significant  intercompany  balances  and  transactions  have  been
         eliminated.

3.       Earnings Per Share

         Basic  earnings  per share for the nine and three month  periods  ended
         September  30,  2000,  is computed  based on  6,909,532  and  6,931,898
         weighted-average shares outstanding during the respective periods.

         Basic  earnings  per share for the nine and three month  periods  ended
         September  30,  1999,  is computed  based on  5,730,981  and  5,715,774
         weighted-average shares outstanding during the respective periods.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


3.       Earnings Per Share (continued)

         Diluted earnings per share is computed taking into consideration common
         shares  outstanding and dilutive  potential  common shares to be issued
         under the  Corporation's  stock option plans.  Weighted-average  common
         shares deemed  outstanding for purposes of computing  diluted  earnings
         per share totaled  6,951,009 and 6,978,301 for the nine and three month
         periods  ended  September  30, 2000,  respectively,  and  5,842,657 and
         5,810,791  for the nine and three month  periods  ended  September  30,
         1999, respectively.

         Incremental  shares  related to the assumed  exercise of stock  options
         included in the computation of diluted  earnings per share for the nine
         and three month periods ended  September 30, 2000,  totaled  41,477 and
         46,403,  and for the nine and three month periods  ended  September 30,
         1999, totaled 111,676 and 95,017, respectively.

         Options   to   purchase   432,795   shares  of  common   stock  with  a
         weighted-average exercise price of $12.16 were outstanding at September
         30,  2000,  but were  excluded  from the  computation  of common  share
         equivalents  for the nine and three month periods  ended  September 30,
         2000,  because the exercise prices were greater than the average market
         price of the common shares.

         Options   to   purchase   68,485   shares  of  common   stock   with  a
         weighted-average exercise price of $14.17 were outstanding at September
         30,  1999,  but were  excluded  from the  computation  of common  share
         equivalents  for the nine and three month periods  ended  September 30,
         1999,  because the exercise prices were greater than the average market
         price of the common shares.

4.       Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1998,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (the "FASB")
         issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 133,
         "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities," which
         requires  entities to  recognize  all  derivatives  in their  financial
         statements as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS
         No.  133  also   specifies  new  methods  of  accounting   for  hedging
         transactions, prescribes the items and transactions that may be hedged,
         and  specifies  detailed  criteria  to be  met  to  qualify  for  hedge
         accounting.

         The definition of a derivative  financial instrument is complex, but in
         general,  it is an instrument with one or more underlyings,  such as an
         interest rate or foreign  exchange rate,  that is applied to a notional
         amount,  such as an amount of  currency,  to determine  the  settlement
         amount(s).  It generally requires no significant initial investment and
         can  be  settled  net  or by  delivery  of an  asset  that  is  readily
         convertible to cash.  SFAS No. 133 applies to  derivatives  embedded in
         other  contracts,  unless the underlying of the embedded  derivative is
         clearly and closely related to the host contract.

         SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years
         beginning  after June 15, 2000. On adoption,  entities are permitted to
         transfer  held-to-maturity debt securities to the available-for-sale or
         trading  category  without  calling into question  their intent to hold
         other debt  securities  to maturity in the future.  SFAS No. 133 is not
         expected  to have a  material  impact  on the  Corporation's  financial
         statements.

4.       Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

         In  September  2000,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No.  140  "Accounting  for
         Transfers  and  Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments  of
         Liabilities",   which  revises  the  standards   for   accounting   for
         securitizations  and other transfers of financial assets and collateral
         and  requires  certain  disclosures,  but  carries  over  most  of  the
         provisions  of SFAS No. 125  without  reconsideration.  SFAS No. 140 is
         effective  for   transfers  and  servicing  of  financial   assets  and
         extinguishments  of  liabilities  occurring  after March 31, 2001.  The
         Statement  is  effective  for  recognition  and   reclassification   of
         collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization  transactions
         and collateral  for fiscal years ending after  December 15, 2000.  SFAS

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999


General

Camco's profitability depends primarily on the level of its net interest income,
which is the difference  between  interest  income on  interest-earning  assets,
principally loans,  mortgage-backed  securities and investment  securities,  and
interest  expense on deposit accounts and borrowings.  In recent years,  Camco's
net  earnings  have  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 employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment,
federal deposit insurance  premiums,  as well as various other operating expense
categories, including federal income tax expense.


Discussion  of Financial  Condition  Changes from December 31, 1999 to September
30, 2000

At September 30, 2000,  Camco's  consolidated  assets  totaled $1.0 billion,  an
increase of $215.5  million,  or 26.5%,  over the December  31, 1999 total.  The
increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Westwood Financial,  in January
2000,  which  resulted in net asset growth of  approximately  $159.7 million and
deposit growth of $100.5.  The  additional  increase in total assets was through
internal growth, primarily in loans receivable, and was funded by deposit growth
of $57.9  million and an increase of $42.4  million in advances from the Federal
Home Loan Bank ("FHLB").

Cash and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions totaled $22.6
million at  September  30, 2000,  an increase of $5.6  million,  or 33.2%,  over
December  31,  1999  levels.  Investment  securities  totaled  $17.7  million at
September 30, 2000, an increase of $571,000, or 3.3%, over the total at December
31, 1999.  Investment  securities  purchases totaled $750,000,  while maturities
amounted to $185,000, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2000.

Mortgage-backed  securities  totaled  $15.7  million at September  30, 2000,  an
increase of $3.3 million, or 26.4%, over December 31, 1999, due primarily to the
$5.2 million of mortgage-backed  securities  acquired through the Merger,  which
was partially offset by principal repayments totaling $1.9 million.

Loans receivable, including loans held for sale, increased by $196.9 million, or
27.1%,  during the nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  to a total of $923.1
million.  The increase resulted primarily from loans acquired through the Merger
totaling  $142.0  million and loan  disbursements,  including  purchased  loans,
totaling $262.0 million,  which were partially offset by principal repayments of
$120.1 million and loan sales of $83.1 million.  The volume of loans  originated
and  purchased  during the 2000 nine month period was less than that of the 1999
period by $90.9 million,  or 25.8%,  while the volume of loan sales increased by
$5.0 million year to year. Loan origination  volume has been affected during the
2000 period by the overall increase in interest rates in the economy.

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

     For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999


Discussion  of Financial  Condition  Changes from December 31, 1999 to September
30, 2000 (continued)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, continued rising interest rates
shifted  consumer  preference  from  fixed-rate   mortgages  to  adjustable-rate
mortgages ("ARMs").  The majority of loans originated by Camco in 2000 have been
ARMs and Camco has  adopted a short  term  strategy  of  selling  both fixed and
adjustable  rate  loans to  control  its  balance  sheet  growth  and manage its
interest rate risk.

Nonperforming  loans (90 days or more delinquent plus nonaccrual  loans) totaled
$4.4  million and $4.0  million at  September  30, 2000 and  December  31, 1999,
respectively,  constituting  .47% and .55% of total net loans,  including  loans
held for sale,  at those dates.  At  September  30,  2000,  nonperforming  loans
consisted  primarily  of  one-  to  four-family   residential  properties  which
management believes are adequately  collateralized.  The consolidated  allowance
for loan losses  totaled $2.8 million and $1.9 million at September 30, 2000 and
December 31, 1999,  respectively,  representing 65.0% and 46.9% of nonperforming
loans, respectively, at those dates. The allowance for loan losses was increased
as a result of the Merger by $641,000 which represented the allowance maintained
by Westwood prior to the Merger. Although management believes that its allowance
for loan losses is adequate based upon the available facts and  circumstances at
September 30, 2000,  there can be no assurance  that additions to such allowance
will not be necessary in future periods,  which could  adversely  affect Camco's
results of operations.

Deposits  totaled  $620.2  million at September  30, 2000, an increase of $158.4
million,  or 34.3%,  over  December  31,  1999  levels.  The  increase  resulted
primarily  from deposits of $100.5  million  acquired in the Merger coupled with
deposit portfolio growth of $57.9 million,  or 12.5%,  which resulted  primarily
from  management's  continuing  efforts to achieve growth of deposits  primarily
through  marketing and pricing  strategies.  Advances from the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") increased by $42.4 million, or 15.2%, to a total of $321.5 million
at September  30, 2000.  The  increase was due  primarily to net current  period
borrowings  totaling  $7.7  million,  coupled  with  advances  of $34.7  million
acquired through the Merger.  The proceeds from deposit growth and FHLB advances
were primarily used to fund loan originations during the nine month period.

The Banks are  required  to  maintain  minimum  regulatory  capital  pursuant to
federal  regulations.  At September  30,  2000,  the Banks'  regulatory  capital
exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.


Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000
and 1999

General

The inclusion of the accounts of Westwood,  which Camco acquired in January 2000
in a  transaction  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method  of  accounting,
significantly  contributed  to the increases in the level of income and expenses
during the nine and three month  periods ended  September 30, 2000,  compared to
the nine and three month periods  ended  September  30, 1999.  The  consolidated
statements of earnings for the nine and three month periods ended  September 30,
1999, were not restated for the Merger.

     For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999


Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000
and 1999 (continued)

General (continued)

Camco's net earnings for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 totaled $5.7
million,  an increase of $1.2  million,  or 28.1%,  over the $4.5 million of net
earnings  reported in the comparable  1999 period.  The increase in earnings was
primarily  attributable to a $4.1 million increase in net interest income and an
increase in other income of $94,000,  which were partially  offset by a $263,000
increase  in the  provision  for losses on loans,  a $2.0  million  increase  in
general,  administrative  and  other  expense  and a  $625,000  increase  in the
provision for federal income taxes.

Net Interest Income

Total interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,  amounted to
$56.2  million,  an increase  of $19.3  million,  or 52.4%,  over the nine month
period ended September 30, 1999,  generally  reflecting the effects of growth in
average interest-earning assets of approximately $286.4 million. The acquisition
of Westwood  accounted for approximately  $9.6 million of interest income during
the nine month period ended September 30, 2000.

Interest income on loans and  mortgage-backed  securities  totaled $53.9 million
for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000, an increase of $18.9 million,  or
53.8%, over the comparable 1999 period.  The increase resulted  primarily from a
$286.1 million,  or 45.8%,  increase in the average balance  outstanding year to
year,  and a 43 basis point increase in the average  yield.  Interest  income on
investments and other  interest-bearing  assets increased by $446,000, or 24.9%,
due primarily to an increase of 135 basis points in the weighted-average  yield,
and a $213,000,  or 0.5%,  increase in the average balance  outstanding  year to
year.

Total  interest  expense  amounted to $36.5  million  for the nine months  ended
September 30, 2000, an increase of $15.3 million,  or 71.7%, over the comparable
nine  month  period  in  1999.  The   acquisition  of  Westwood   accounted  for
approximately $5.8 million of the overall increase in the 2000 period.  Interest
expense on deposits  increased by $6.6  million,  or 46.5%,  to a total of $20.8
million for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000, due primarily to a $129.5
million, or 28.7%,  increase in average deposits outstanding over the nine month
period  ended  September  30,  1999,  and an increase of 59 basis  points in the
weighted-average  interest rates paid.  Interest  expense on borrowings  totaled
$15.7 million for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000, an increase of $8.6
million,  or 122.4%,  over the 1999 nine month  period.  The  increase  resulted
primarily  from a $149.3  million,  or 83.2%,  increase in the  average  balance
outstanding   year  to  year  and  an  increase  of  112  basis  points  in  the
weighted-average interest rates paid.

As a result of the foregoing  changes in interest  income and interest  expense,
net interest  income  increased by $4.1 million,  or 26.0%,  to a total of $19.6
million for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000.  The interest rate spread
decreased to  approximately  2.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
from 2.86% for the 1999  period,  while the net  interest  margin  decreased  to
approximately 2.74% in 2000, compared to 3.11% in 1999.

     For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999


Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000
and 1999 (continued)

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 Camco, the
status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions,
particularly as such conditions relate to Camco's market area, and other factors
related to the  collectibility  of Camco's loan  portfolio.  The  provision  for
losses on loans totaled  $431,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000,
an increase of $263,000 over the  comparable  period in 1999. The current period
provision generally reflects the effects of loan portfolio growth.  There can be
no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover losses
on nonperforming loans in the future.

Other Income

Other income totaled $4.2 million for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000,
an increase of $94,000,  or 2.3%, over the comparable 1999 period.  The increase
in other income was primarily attributable to an increase of $124,000, or 29.8%,
in loan servicing  fees, an increase of $111,000,  or 26.5%,  in service charges
and fees on deposits and a $16,000, or 1.0%, increase in gains on sale of loans,
which  were  partially  offset by a  decrease  of  $175,000,  or 10.3%,  in late
charges,  rent and other.  The  increase  in loan  servicing  fees was due to an
increase  in the  servicing  portfolio  year to year.  The  increase  in service
charges and fees on deposits was due to the growth in deposits year to year. The
decrease  in late  charges,  rent and  other  was  primarily  attributable  to a
$145,000 decrease in title company fees compared to the same period in 1999.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General,  administrative  and other  expense  totaled $14.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $2.0 million, or 15.8%, over the
comparable period in 1999. This increase was due primarily to a $1.1 million, or
18.3%,  increase in employee  compensation and benefits,  a $436,000,  or 23.8%,
increase in occupancy  and  equipment,  a $367,000,  or 57.7%,  increase in data
processing expense, and a $148,000,  or 22.2%, increase in franchise taxes which
were partially  offset by a decrease in federal  deposit  insurance  premiums of
$132,000, or 60.0%.

The  acquisition of Westwood  accounted for a $2.0 million  increase in general,
administrative  and other  expenses.  Exclusive  of the  effects of the  Merger,
employee  compensation  and benefits  increased by $69,000,  or 1.2%,  resulting
primarily from normal merit increases.  Office  occupancy and equipment  expense
increased by $143,000,  or 7.8%,  which was due to  increased  depreciation  and
increased  building  maintenance costs, and data processing expense increased by
$257,000,  or 40.4%,  due to costs  related to a conversion  to an internal wide
area network.  These increases were partially  offset by a decrease of $132,000,
or 60.0% in federal deposit insurance premiums, due to decreased premium rates.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000
and 1999 (continued)

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal  income taxes totaled $2.9 million for the nine months
ended  September  30,  2000,  an increase of $625,000,  or 27.4%,  over the nine
months ended  September  30, 1999.  This  increase  was  attributable  to a $1.9
million, or 27.8%, increase in pre-tax earnings. The Corporation's effective tax
rate  amounted to 33.7% and 33.9% for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000
and 1999, respectively.


Comparison  of Results of  Operations  for the Three Months Ended  September 30,
2000 and 1999

General

Camco's net earnings for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 totaled $2.1
million,  an  increase  of  $677,000,  or 46.1%,  over the $1.5  million  of net
earnings  reported in the comparable  1999 period.  The increase in earnings was
primarily  attributable  to an $870,000  increase in net interest  income and an
increase of $655,000 in other income,  which were partially  offset by a $93,000
increase  in the  provision  for  losses  on  loans,  an  increase  in  general,
administrative  and other  expense of $446,000 and an increase in the  provision
for federal income taxes of $309,000.

Net Interest Income

Total interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2000, amounted to
$19.5  million,  an increase  of $6.2  million,  or 46.9%,  over the three month
period ended September 30, 1999,  generally  reflecting the effects of growth in
average  interest-earning assets outstanding of approximately $275.5 million, or
38.3%.

Interest income on loans and  mortgage-backed  securities  totaled $18.8 million
for the three months ended  September 30, 2000, an increase of $6.1 million,  or
47.7%, over the comparable 1999 period.  The increase resulted  primarily from a
$269.3 million,  or 39.6%,  increase in the average balance  outstanding year to
year,  and a 43 basis point increase in the average  yield.  Interest  income on
investments and other  interest-bearing  assets increased by $181,000, or 29.6%,
due primarily to an increase of 73 basis points in the  weighted-average  yield,
coupled  with a  $6.3  million,  or  15.8%,  increase  in  the  average  balance
outstanding year to year.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $2.8 million,  or 58.9%, to a total of
$7.6 million for the three months ended  September 30, 2000,  due primarily to a
$148.1 million,  or 32.4%,  increase in average  deposits  outstanding  over the
prior year and an increase of 84 basis points in the  weighted-average  interest
rates paid.  Interest  expense on borrowings  totaled $5.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $2.5 million, or 83.7%, over the
1999 three month period.  The increase resulted primarily from a $118.1 million,
or 52.6%, increase in the average balance outstanding year to year, coupled with
an increase of 111 basis points in the weighted-average interest rates paid.

Comparison  of Results of  Operations  for the Three Months Ended  September 30,
2000 and 1999 (continued)

Net Interest Income

As a result of the foregoing  changes in interest  income and interest  expense,
net interest income increased by $870,000,  or 15.9%, to a total of $6.3 million
for the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000.  The  interest  rate  spread
decreased to approximately  2.29% for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
from 2.75% for the 1999  period,  while the net  interest  margin  decreased  to
approximately 2.55% in 2000, compared to 3.02% in 1999.

Provision for Losses on Loans

Management  elected to record a provision for losses on loans totaling  $138,000
for the three months ended  September  30, 2000, an increase of $93,000 over the
comparable period in 1999. The current period provision  generally  reflects the
effects of loan portfolio  growth.  There can be no assurance that the allowance
for loan losses will be adequate to cover losses on  nonperforming  loans in the
future.

Other Income

Other income totaled $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
an increase of $655,000, or 58.6%, over the comparable 1999 period. The increase
in other income was primarily attributable to a $722,000, or 320.9%, increase in
gains on sale of loans, an increase of $32,000,  or 6.5%, in late charges,  rent
and other and a $30,000,  or 19.0%,  increase  in service  charges on  deposits,
which  were  partially  offset by a  decrease  of  $83,000,  or  38.1%,  in loan
servicing  fees  and a  $42,000  loss  on  sale  of  investments.  The  increase
attributable to the gain on sale of loans was due to increased  secondary market
sales  volume,   which  was   precipated   in  large  part  by   asset/liability
restructuring at one of the Bank subsidiaries.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General,  administrative  and other  expense  totaled $4.8 million for the three
months ended  September  30, 2000, an increase of $446,000,  or 10.3%,  over the
comparable  period in 1999.  This increase was due  primarily to a $136,000,  or
6.7%,  increase in employee  compensation  and benefits,  a $133,000,  or 21.2%,
increase in occupancy  and  equipment,  a $131,000,  or 70.1%,  increase in data
processing expense and a $33,000,  or 14.4%,  increase in franchise taxes, which
were partially  offset by a decrease in federal  deposit  insurance  premiums of
$44,000, or 59.5%.

Comparison  of Results of  Operations  for the Three Months Ended  September 30,
2000 and 1999 (continued)

General, Administrative and Other Expense (continued)

The general  administrative and other expenses  attributable to Westwood for the
three  months  ended  September  30, 2000,  totaled  $696,000.  Exclusive of the
effects of the Merger,  general,  administrative  and other expense decreased by
$250,000,  or 5.8%. Employee compensation and benefits decreased by $232,000, or
11.4%, and federal deposit insurance  premiums  decreased by $49,000,  or 66.2%,
which were partially offset by a $93,000, or 49.7%,  increase in data processing
expense. The decrease in employee compensation and benefits was primarily due to
closing of non-profitable loan production offices.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes totaled $1.1 million for the three months
ended  September  30, 2000,  an increase of $309,000,  or 41.1%,  over the three
months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is attributable to a $986,000, or
44.4%,  increase  in pre-tax  earnings.  The  Corporation's  effective  tax rate
amounted to 33.1% and 33.8% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2000
and 1999, respectively.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There has been no  material  change in the  Corporation's  market risk since the
Corporation's  Form 10-K filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission for
