NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). 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, 2007. However, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.
 
2.   Principles of Consolidation
 
    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Camco and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Advantage Bank (“Advantage” or the “Bank”) and Camco Title Agency, Inc.
 
3.   Critical Accounting Policies
 
    Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of mortgage servicing rights and goodwill impairment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    Allowance for Loan Losses
 
    The procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses reflect our evaluation of credit risk after careful consideration and interpretation of relevant information available to us. In developing this assessment, we must rely on estimates and exercise judgment regarding matters where the ultimate outcome is unknown such as economic factors, developments affecting companies in specific industries and issues with respect to single borrowers. Depending on changes in circumstances, future assessments of credit risk may yield materially different results, which may require an increase or a decrease in the allowance for loan losses.
 
    The allowance is regularly reviewed by management to determine whether the amount is considered adequate to absorb probable, incurred losses. This evaluation includes specific loss estimates on certain individually reviewed loans, statistical loss estimates for loan pools that are based on historical loss experience, and general loss estimates that are based upon the size, quality, and concentration characteristics of the various loan portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, and current economic and industry conditions. Also considered as part of that judgment is a review of the Bank’s trends in delinquencies and loan losses, as well as trends in delinquencies and losses for the region and nationally, and economic factors.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
3.   Critical Accounting Policies (continued)
 
    The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management believes to be adequate to absorb probable, incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet dates presented. Our evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is an estimate based on management’s current judgment about the credit quality of the loan portfolio. While we strive to reflect all known risk factors in our evaluations, actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.
 
    Mortgage Servicing Rights
 
    To determine the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) each reporting quarter, we provide information to a third party valuation firm who assists us with determining the possible impairment of MSRs, as described below.
 
    MSRs are recognized as separate assets or liabilities when loans are sold with servicing retained. A pooling methodology to the servicing valuation, in which loans with similar characteristics are “pooled” together, is applied for valuation purposes. Once pooled, each grouping of loans is evaluated on a discounted earnings basis to determine the present value of future earnings that the bank could expect to realize from the portfolio. Earnings are projected from a variety of sources including loan service fees, interest earned on float, net interest earned on escrow balances, miscellaneous income and costs to service the loans. The present value of future earnings is the estimated fair value for the pool, calculated using consensus assumptions that a third party purchaser would utilize in evaluating a potential acquisition of the servicing.
 
    Events that may significantly affect the estimates used are changes in interest rates and the related impact on mortgage loan prepayment speeds and the payment performance of the underlying loans. The interest rate for float, which we estimate, takes into consideration the investment portfolio average yield as well as current short duration investment yields. We believe this methodology provides a reasonable estimate. Mortgage loan prepayment speeds are calculated by the third party provider utilizing the Economic Outlook as published by the Office of Chief Economist of Freddie Mac in estimating prepayment speeds and provides a specific scenario with each evaluation. Based on the assumptions discussed, pre-tax projections are prepared for each pool of loans serviced. These earnings figures approximate the cash flow that could be received from the servicing portfolio. Valuation results are presented quarterly to management. At that time, we review the information and MSRs are marked to the lower of amortized cost or fair value for the current quarter.
 
    Goodwill
 
    On May 7, 2008, Camco signed a definitive agreement with First Place Financial Corp. which was a negotiated transaction between buyer and seller. The company received a third party opinion to the effect that as of May 7, 2008, the merger consideration to be paid to stockholders in connection with the merger was fair to stockholders, from a financial point of view.
 
    The value of the transaction exceeds its carrying amount of goodwill, therefore, the reporting unit is not impaired.

6.   Fair Value
 
    SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 describes three levels of inputs that Camco uses to measure fair value:
      Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 
      Level 2: Level 1 inputs for assets or liabilities that are not actively traded. Also consists of an observable market price for a similar asset or liability. This includes the use of “matrix pricing” used to value debt securities absent the exclusive use of quoted prices.

For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
      Level 3: Consists of unobservable inputs that are used to measure fair value when observable market inputs are not available. This could include the use of internally developed models, financial forecasting, etc.
    Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability between market participants at the balance sheet date. When possible, the Corporation looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Corporation looks to observable market data for similar assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not traded in observable markets and Camco must use other valuation methods to develop a fair value. The fair value of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is estimated through third party appraisals or internal estimates of collateral values.

    Loans held for sale are originated on forward commitment contracts and are reported at the lower of cost or fair value. All loans held for sale at June 30, 2008, are secured by liens on 1-4 family residential properties.
 
    Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as separate assets or liabilities when loans are sold with servicing retained. A pooling methodology to the servicing valuation, in which loans with similar characteristics are “pooled” together, is applied for valuation purposes. Once pooled, each grouping of loans is evaluated on a discounted earnings basis to determine the present value of future earnings that the bank could expect to realize from the portfolio. Earnings are projected from a variety of sources including loan service fees, interest earned on float, net interest earned on escrow balances, miscellaneous income and costs to service the loans. The present value of future earnings is the estimated fair value for the pool, calculated using consensus assumptions that a third party purchaser would utilize in evaluating a potential acquisition of the servicing.
 
    Fair value for real estate acquired through foreclosure is determined by obtaining recent appraisals on the properties. The fair value under such appraisals is determined by using one of the following valuation techniques: income, cost or comparable sales. The fair value is then reduced by management’s estimate for the direct costs expected to be incurred in order to sell the property. Holding costs or maintenance expenses are recorded as period costs when occurred and are not included in the fair value estimate.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Overview:
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded a net loss of $630,000, or ($0.09) per share. Our financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were significantly impacted by the economic and housing slowdown. The weak economy impacted our balance sheet by reducing demand for loans and increasing nonperforming assets. Credit quality continued to deteriorate as nonperforming assets rose to $32.8 million at June 30, 2008, and net charge offs and the provision for loan losses totaled $1.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2008. We saw a reduction in the level of nonperforming loans in the second quarter of 2008 and we continue to aggressively work with commercial and consumer borrowers to try to curtail future increases in our delinquent and nonperforming loans. However, continuing signs of economic stress compounded by inflation and a very weak housing market may result in continued increases in nonperforming and delinquent loans.
The Prime rate has declined 225 basis points during the first six months of 2008 compared to the December 31, 2007 rate, which was a key driver for the decrease in our net interest margin year to date and our net earnings during 2008 as our loan portfolio repriced downward more quickly than we were able to reduce our funding costs. We believe this lag in repricing may persist in the near term provided there are no further changes to Prime rate..
As we noted in our annual report on Form 10-K for December 31, 2007, we projected and are now experiencing a reduction in our borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB) and with other lending institutions. Our increasing nonperforming loan portfolio and reduced earnings are the primary drivers for this liquidity tightening. Since we have historically relied heavily on borrowings from the FHLB, our balance sheet was significantly leveraged at December 31, 2007, even though we made progress during 2007 to reduce our overall borrowing levels. To counter this reduction in borrowing capacity and to ensure we had access to funding in case we encountered significant losses or liquidity demands, we increased brokered deposits by $22.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and reduced borrowings further. This strategy was defensive and had a negative impact on earnings as funds in excess of our borrowing reductions had yet to be deployed into loans or securities at June 30, 2008.
We were successful in increasing deposits by $38.9 million during the first six months ended June 30, 2008, although the majority of the growth was in brokered deposits and rate-sensitive money market accounts. We plan to continue to aggressively pursue retail deposits during 2008 to improve our liquidity position and build franchise value.
On May 7, 2008, we announced the execution of a definitive agreement to merge with First Place Financial Corp (“First Place”). Under the terms of the agreement, Camco’s stockholders will be entitled to receive either $13.58 in cash or 0.97 shares of First Place common stock for each share of Camco common stock, subject to election and allocation procedures which are intended to ensure that 26.499% of Camco’s shares will be exchanged for cash and 73.501% of Camco’s shares will be exchanged for First Place’s common stock. The value of the stock component may be higher or lower at the time of closing depending on the share price of First Place’s common stock. The merger is expected to qualify as a tax-free exchange. The share exchange ratio of 0.97 may be adjusted in certain circumstances should the average price of First Place’s stock, calculated over a period prior to closing, be greater than $16.80 or less than $11.20. Camco may terminate the merger if the average price is less than $11.20, though First Place shall have the option of increasing the exchange ratio in order to complete the transaction. The merger is expected to close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2008, pending regulatory approval, approval of the transaction by both First Place and Camco stockholders and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Pursuant to the merger agreement, we reduced our quarterly dividend to $0.075 per share, which was declared on July 10, 2008.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008
At June 30, 2008, Camco’s consolidated assets were essentially equal to the December 31, 2007 total. There were increases in cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale offset partially by decreases in loans held for sale and net loans receivable. Further, borrowings decreased as deposits increased. We expect total asset growth to be limited as lending volumes of acceptable risk are expected to diminish due to a slowing economy. We also plan to use increases in deposits to further reduce outstanding borrowings.
Cash and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions totaled $46.1 million at June 30, 2008, an increase of $23.1 million, or 100.5%, from December 31, 2007. As noted in our annual report for fiscal year 2007, we sought to improve our liquidity position by issuing brokered deposits to reduce borrowings. We planned to hold cash in excess of the amount of borrowings we could repay during the first quarter in anticipation of the maturity of fixed-term borrowings at the end of the second quarter. However, we saw a decrease in deposits toward the end of the second quarter which caused us to move our borrowing into an overnight status. If we maintain current deposit levels and begin another growth pattern as we saw in the first quarter of 2008 we would anticipate utilizing excess cash to pay down borrowings and fund loan growth in the third quarter of 2008.
Securities totaled $95.3 million at June 30, 2008, an increase of $3.6 million, or 4.0%, from December 31, 2007. The increase was attributable to purchases of $43.4 million of securities, offset partially by principal repayments totaling $35.0 million, sales of $4.3 million and a decrease in the fair market value of securities available for sale of $480,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008. The yield on mortgage-backed securities purchased during the period was 4.2%. All but $200,000 of the securities purchased were classified as available for sale.
Loans receivable, including loans held for sale, totaled $791.0 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $24.3 million, or 3.0%, from December 31, 2007. The decrease resulted primarily from principal repayments of $129.3 million and loan sales of $24.8 million which were partially offset by loan disbursements and purchases totaling $136.7 million. The volume of loans originated and purchased during the first six months of 2008 decreased compared to the 2007 period by $38.8 million, or 22.1%, while the volume of loan sales increased by $3.5 million, or 16.4%, period to period. The decrease in outstanding loans during the six months ending June 30, 2008 occurred primarily in our retail residential mortgage loan portfolio. While we have seen a slight increase in prepayments on residential mortgage loans, our ability to produce new residential mortgage loans has been significantly impaired by the housing market, with new and existing home sales declining to decade lows.
Loan originations during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, were comprised primarily of $72.5 million in commercial loans, $37.9 million of loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate and $26.6 million in consumer and other loans. Our intent is to continue to expand consumer and commercial real estate lending in future periods as a means of increasing the yield on our loan portfolio and continue with our strategic plan of moving to a more “bank” like institution. In the near term, however, lending volumes of acceptable risk are expected to diminish due to a slowing economy and loan repayments will be used to reduce borrowings and build liquidity.
Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008 (continued)
The allowance for loan losses totaled $8.2 million and $6.6 million at June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, representing 26.4% and 26.0% of nonperforming loans, respectively, at those dates. Nonperforming loans (loans with three payments or more delinquent plus nonaccrual loans) totaled $31.0 million and $25.5 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, constituting 3.92% and 3.13% of total net loans, including loans held for sale, at those dates. Net charge-offs totaled $1.6 million for the first half of 2008, which was comprised most significantly of a single commercial loan to a home builder for $749,000, which was secured by accounts receivable and increased provisions for loan loss by $692,000 relating to impaired loans.

Although we believe that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2008, is adequate to cover probable, incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio at that date based upon the available facts and circumstances, there can be no assurance that additions to the allowance for loan losses will not be necessary in future periods, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Unemployment rates in our markets, and Ohio in general, are higher than the national average, and bankruptcy and foreclosure filings in Ohio are very high compared to the rest of the nation. Additionally, Ohio is experiencing declining values of residential real estate. However, Ohio in general has not experienced significant increases in home values over the past five years like many regions in the U.S., which should comparatively mitigate losses on loans. Nonetheless, these factors, compounded by a very uncertain national economic outlook, may increase the level of future losses beyond our current expectations.
Deposits totaled $731.1 million at June 30, 2008 an increase of $38.9 million, or 5.6%, from the total at December 31, 2007. The increase in deposits was primarily due to an increase of $22.3 million in brokered certificates of deposit and $12.7 million in money market accounts. The following table details our deposit portfolio balances and the average rate paid on our deposit portfolio at June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007:

The increase in certificates of deposits was primarily a result of an increase in brokered deposits purchases of $22.3 million in the current year of 2008. Brokered deposits were used to reduce borrowings and improve the Bank’s liquidity position. However, we acknowledge that brokered deposits are not core, franchise-enhancing deposits, and we do not intend to stray from our strategy of improving the long-term funding mix of the Bank’s deposit portfolio by aggregating small business, commercial and retail checking accounts. We have implemented a number of organizational and product development initiatives including a new suite of commercial and small business checking accounts, enhancements to our online business cash management system, and the launch of remote deposit capture solution.
The increase in money market accounts is due to customers showing preference toward liquid deposit accounts in anticipation of future increases in interest rates.

For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
This shift in the mix of the deposit portfolio from lower-cost demand deposits and savings accounts to higher-costing certificates of deposit and money markets limited our ability to reduce our cost of funds during the first half of 2008. We aggressively reduced the rates offered on our money markets in the first six months of 2008. We also believe that if we are able to maintain the certificates of deposit maturing in 2008 the decreased rates will help to reduce our cost of funds further during the remainder of the current year, based on our current expectation for interest rates.
Advances from the FHLB and other borrowings totaled $193.4 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $27.6 million, or 12.5%, from the total at December 31, 2007. The decrease in borrowings was primarily due to the increase in deposits and a net decrease in the loan portfolio. The rest of the decline in borrowings was related to lower balances of retail repurchase agreements in June 2008 compared to December 2007. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further discussion on our borrowings position.
Stockholders’ equity totaled $85.9 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 3.1%, from December 31, 2007. The majority of the decrease resulted from a net loss of $630,000, dividends of $1.0 million and an adjustment to retained earnings for the accrual of split dollar life insurance costs of $832,000. In addition, increasing interest rates decreased the fair value of our investments securities, which resulted in a decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale securities, net of tax, of $273,000.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Camco’s net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008, totaled $630,000, a decrease of $3.5 million, from the net earnings of $2.9 million reported in the comparable 2007 period. On a per share basis, the net loss during the first half of 2008 was $0.09, compared to earnings of $0.36 per share in the first half of 2007. The decline in earnings was primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for losses on loans of $2.9 million and a decrease in net interest income of $1.7 million, before the effect of federal income taxes.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income amounted to $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 11.6%, compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, generally reflecting the effects of a $78.3 million decrease in the average balance of interest earning assets, coupled with the decrease of 18 basis points in the net interest spread. Net interest margin fell to 2.80% in the first half of 2008 compared to 3.04% for the comparable period in 2007. The compression in net interest spread and margin during the first half of 2008, compared to the first half of 2007, was due, nearly equally, to a lower volume of interest- earning assets and a lower yield on those assets compounded by a higher cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the first half of 2008.
Margin pressure is a challenge due to the yield on assets declining at a faster rate than the cost of funds. At the same time, the loan portfolio has not grown to offset the tighter spreads to result in higher net interest income. While loan production has slowed, we continue to diversify the loan portfolio by encouraging continued growth in commercial and consumer loan balances as these types of loans are normally higher-yielding assets than adjustable rate mortgage loans.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Interest income on loans totaled $26.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 9.7%, from the comparable 2007 period. This resulted primarily from a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $38.6 million in 2008 compared to the six months of 2007. A 37 basis point decrease in the average yield in the 2008 period also negatively impacted interest income on loans. The Prime rate was 225 basis points lower during the first six months of 2008 compared to the December 31, 2007 rate, which was a key driver for the decrease in the yield on loans in 2008 as most of the loans tied to the Prime rate reprice within a month of a change in the rate. Further declines in the Prime rate may continue to negatively affect the yield on loans.
Interest income on securities totaled $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $190,000, or 8.1%, from the first half of 2007. The decrease was due primarily to a $12.7 million, or 11.8%, decrease in the average balance outstanding in the first half of 2008 from the first half of 2007, offset partially by a 18 basis point increase in the average yield, to 4.51% for the 2008 period. The yield on the investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolio has increased in 2008 as some cash flows from maturities and principal payments received after the first half of 2007 were reinvested in higher-yielding securities through 2007.
Dividend income on FHLB stock decreased by $149,000, or 16.2%, due primarily to a 109 basis point decrease in the average yield, to 5.21% in 2008. Interest income on other interest-bearing accounts increased $20,000, or 7.3% primarily due to an increase in the average balance outstanding of $10.6 million in the first half of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007, offset partially by a 256 basis point increase in the average yield in the 2008 period.
Interest expense on deposits totaled $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $213,000, or 1.7%, compared to the same period in 2007 due primarily to a 24 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits to 3.55% in the current period, offset partially by a $31.9 million, or 4.9%, increase in average interest bearing deposits outstanding. However, the interest-bearing deposit portfolio was more heavily weighted toward higher cost deposits in 2008, which will limit the overall decline in the second half of 2008. Additionally, competitive pressures continue to limit our ability to reduce interest rates paid on certificates of deposits at a pace comparable to our falling asset yields.
Interest expense on borrowings totaled $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 a decrease of $1.2 million, or 22.0%, from the same 2007 six-month period. The decrease resulted primarily from a $59.4 million, or 23.0%, decrease in the average borrowings outstanding offset partially by a 6 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowings to 4.35%.
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 Bank, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to the Bank’s market areas, and other factors related to the collectability of the Bank’s loan portfolio. Nonperforming assets totaled $32.8 million at June 30, 2008, a significant increase compared to $21.3 million from June 30, 2007. Additionally net charge offs totaled $1.6 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $439,000 at June 30, 2007.
Based upon an analysis of these factors and the continued uncertain economic outlook, we added $3.2 million to the provision for losses on loans for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $315,000 for the same period in 2007 an increase of 907.0%. We believe our classified loans are adequately reserved for probable, incurred losses inherent in our loan portfolio at June 30, 2008. However, there can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be adequate to absorb losses on known classified assets or that the allowance will be adequate to cover losses on classified assets in the future. At June 30, 2008 our loan reserves represent 1.03% of total net loans versus .84% at June 30, 2007.

Other Income
Other income totaled $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 a decrease of $9,000, or 0.3%, from the comparable 2007 period. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a decrease of $152,000 in rent and other income offset partially by an increase of $132,000 in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
The decrease in rent and other was due to decreased revenue relating to loan and prepayment fees in 2008. This is reflective of the decreased loan portfolio year to year. Additionally, the overall slowdown in the mortgage market in 2008 compared to 2007 reduced the level of income we earned through our title agency.
The increase in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights is primarily due to some stabilization of the volatility in the level of mortgage refinancings and the resultant expectations on future loan prepayments.
General, Administrative and Other Expense
General, administrative and other expense totaled $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 an increase of $709,000 or 5.3%, from the comparable period in 2007. The increase in general, administrative and other expense was due primarily to an increase of $336,000 in employee compensation and benefits, a $367,000 increase in professional services and a $184,000 increase in deposit insurance premiums. These increases were partially offset by a $170,000 decrease in advertising and a $43,000 decrease in data processing expense.
We incurred higher medical plan costs in 2008. Also significantly lower loan production in the first half of 2008 reduced the amount of compensation expense deferred compared to 2007. Together, these two items accounted for a $384,000 increase in compensation and benefits expense in 2008. Base compensation expense was primarily flat in 2008 compared to the first half of 2007.
The reorganization of the Deposit Insurance Fund in 2006 resulted in the assessment of premiums by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The increase in professional services was due to increased fees relating to our merger with First Place Financial Corp. and commercial, consumer and residential loan reviews.
The decrease in advertising was due to a higher level of expense in 2007, which was incurred due to preparation for the launch of a new branch in London, Ohio, in 2007 and for additional brochures, posters and sales campaigns.
Home values entered a recessionary state in Ohio during the second half of 2007. While the valuation declines in Ohio have been mild in general, compared to other states, continued increases in foreclosed homes in Ohio may continue to place downward pressure on home values in 2008 and cause us to incur additional losses on the sale of foreclosed homes.
Federal Income Taxes
The benefit for federal income taxes totaled ($489,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $1.8 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $5.3 million decrease in pre-tax earnings.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Camco’s net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2008, totaled $373,000, a decrease of $974,000, from the net earnings of $1.3 million reported in the comparable 2007 period. On a per share basis, the net earnings during the second quarter of 2008 was $0.05, compared to earnings of $0.18 per share in the second quarter of 2007. The decline in earnings was primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for losses on loans of $730,000 and a decrease in net interest income of $873,000, before the effect of federal income taxes.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income amounted to $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $873,000, or 11.9%, compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, generally reflecting the effects of a $38.8 million decrease in the average balance of interest earning assets, coupled with the decrease of 17 basis points in the net interest spread. Net interest margin fell to 2.80% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 3.05% for the comparable period in 2007. The compression in net interest spread and margin during the second quarter of 2008, compared to the second quarter of 2007, was due, nearly equally, to a lower volume of interest- earning assets and a lower yield on those assets compounded by a higher cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the second quarter of 2008.
Margin pressure is a challenge due to the yield on assets declining at a faster rate than the cost of funds. At the same time, the loan portfolio has not grown to offset the tighter spreads to result in higher net interest income. While loan production has slowed, we continue to diversify the loan portfolio by encouraging continued growth in commercial and consumer loan balances as these types of loans are normally higher-yielding assets than conventional mortgage loans.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 (continued)
Interest income on loans totaled $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 13.9%, from the comparable 2007 period. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $51.2 million in 2008 compared to the same three months of 2007. A 58 basis point decrease in the average yield in the 2008 period also negatively impacted interest income on loans. The Prime rate was 225 basis points lower during the first six months of 2008 compared to the December 31, 2007 rate, which was a key driver for the decrease in the yield on loans in 2008 as most of the loans tied to the Prime rate reprice within a month of a change in the rate. Further declines in the Prime rate may continue to negatively affect the yield on loans.
Interest income on securities totaled $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $65,000, or 5.7%, from the second quarter of 2007. The decrease was due primarily to a $8.2 million, or 7.8%, decrease in the average balance outstanding in the second quarter of 2008 from the second quarter of 2007, offset partially by a 10 basis point increase in the average yield, to 4.43% for the 2008 period. The yield on the investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolio has increased in 2008 as some cash flows from maturities and principal payments received after the first half of 2007 were reinvested in higher-yielding securities through 2007.
Dividend income on FHLB stock decreased by $72,000, or 15.5%, due primarily to a 110 basis point decrease in the average yield, to 5.38% in 2008. Interest income on other interest-bearing accounts increased $64,000, or 52.5% primarily due to an increase in the average balance outstanding of $20.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007, offset partially by a 291 basis point increase in the average yield in the 2008 period.
Interest expense on deposits totaled $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $610,000, or 9.6%, compared to the same period in 2007 due primarily to a 58 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits to 3.30% in the current quarter, offset partially by a $41.2 million, or 6.3%, increase in average interest bearing deposits outstanding. However, the interest-bearing deposit portfolio was more heavily weighted toward higher cost deposits in 2008, which will limit the overall decline in the second half of 2008. Additionally, competitive pressures continue to limit our ability to reduce interest rates paid on deposits at a pace comparable to our falling asset yields.
Interest expense on borrowings totaled $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 a decrease of $626,000, or 22.7%, from the same 2007 three-month period. The decrease resulted primarily from a $61.9 million, or 24.2%, decrease in the average borrowings outstanding offset partially by a 8 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowings to 4.39%.
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 Bank, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to the Bank’s market areas, and other factors related to the collectability of the Bank’s loan portfolio. Nonperforming assets totaled $32.8 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $1.2 million from March 31, 2008. Additionally, net charge offs totaled $529,000 for second quarter 2008 compared to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2008 and $226,000 in the second quarter of 2007.
Based upon an analysis of these factors and the continued uncertain economic outlook, we added $850,000 to the provision for losses on loans for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $120,000 for the same period in 2007. We believe our classified loans are adequately reserved for probable, incurred losses inherent in our loan portfolio at June 30, 2008. However, there can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be adequate to absorb losses on known classified assets or that the allowance will be adequate to cover losses on classified assets in the future.

Other Income
Other income totaled $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 an increase of $305,000, or 20.2%, from the comparable 2007 period. The increase in other income was primarily attributable to a $388,000 increase in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights offset partially by a decrease of $63,000 in rent and other income.
As previously reported, the decrease in the first quarter of 2008 valuation of mortgage servicing rights was due to increased volatility in the level of mortgage refinancings and the resultant expectations on future loan prepayments. During the first quarter of 2008, sharp but quickly recovering mortgage interest rate declines in January and late March affected the prepayment speeds and the valuation of the servicing rights of certain pools. The second quarter of 2008 recovered this impairment due to the stabilization of the volatility in the level of mortgage refinancings and the resultant expectations on future loan prepayments.
The decrease in rent and other was due to decreased revenue relating to loan and prepayment fees in 2008. This is reflective of the decreased loan portfolio year to year. Additionally, the overall slowdown in the mortgage market in 2008 compared to 2007 reduced the level of income we earned through our title agency.
General, Administrative and Other Expense
General, administrative and other expense totaled $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 an increase of $116,000 or 1.7%, from the comparable period in 2007. The overall increase in general, administrative and other expense included an additional $156,000 in employee compensation and benefits, a $246,000 increase in professional services and a $76,000 increase in deposit insurance premiums offset partially by a decrease 0f $45,000 in advertising.
We incurred higher officers salary continuation expense in 2008 due to lower costs in 2007 which included an adjustment to a post-retirement accrual relating to the departure of a member of senior management. Also, significantly lower loan production in the first half of 2008 reduced the amount of compensation expense deferred compared to 2007. Together, these two items accounted for a $344,000 increase in compensation and benefits expense in 2008. The additional expense was offset partially by reduced lending incentives due to lower loan production in 2008 coupled with not accruing for annual incentives due to annualized performance metrics not being achieved.
The increase in professional services was due to increased fees relating to our anticipated merger with First Place Financial Corp. The increase in deposit insurance premiums was due to the reorganization of the Deposit Insurance Fund in 2006 which resulted in the assessment of premiums by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The decrease in advertising was due to a higher level of expense in 2007, which was incurred due to preparation for the launch of a new branch in London, Ohio, in 2007 and for additional brochures, posters and sales campaigns.
Federal Income Taxes
The provision for federal income taxes totaled $170,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $440,000, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.4 million decrease in pre-tax earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
“Liquidity” refers to our ability to fund loan demand and deposit withdrawal requests, to pay dividends to shareholders and to meet other commitments and contingencies. The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure sufficient cash flow to meet all of Camco’s financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for business expansion in the context of managing interest rate risk exposure. This ability depends on our financial strength, asset quality and the types of deposit and loan instruments offered to customers.
We monitor and assess liquidity needs daily in order to meet deposit withdrawals, loan commitments and expenses. Camco’s liquidity contingency funding plan identifies liquidity thresholds and red flags that may evidence liquidity concerns or future crises. The contingency plan details specific actions to be taken by management and the Board of Directors. It also identifies sources of emergency liquidity, both asset and liability-based, should Camco encounter a liquidity crisis. In conjunction with our asset/liability and interest rate risk management activities, we actively monitor liquidity risk and analyze various scenarios that could impact or impair Camco’s ability to access emergency funding during a liquidity crisis. Additional sources of liquidity include deposits, borrowings and principal and interest repayments on loans. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions, and competition and are difficult to predict.
The decrease in the outstanding balance of loans in 2008 was the main driver for the increase in cash provided by investing activities, which totaled $12.8 million in 2008, compared to a net use of cash of ($3.5) million in 2007, Some of these cash flows were used to acquire investment securities in 2008. We also encountered some calls of investment securities by the issuer during the first half of 2008 due to the significantly lower interest rate environment in 2008. As we noted in our 2007 Annual Report and Form 10-K for December 31, 2007, we intend to hold some of our excess funding in cash equivalents or short-term investments to improve our liquidity position.
Approximately $17.9 million, of our investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolio is expected to mature or prepay in the remainder of 2008. While these maturities could provide a significant source of liquidity in the short term, we have a significant level of public funds deposits and repurchase agreements, which limits our ability to use these funds freely due to the collateral requirements of those deposits and repurchase agreements. Deposits of state and local political subdivision deposits totaled $58.6 million at June 30, 2008 and $57.5 million at December 31, 2007.
Approximately $326.6 million of our certificate of deposit portfolio is scheduled to mature within twelve months of June 30, 2008, and the weighted average rate paid on those maturing deposits is 4.35%. While depositors showed a preference toward short term certificates or other issuances less than 18 months during 2007, we have had some success in increasing longer-term deposits with 18 to 24 month maturities. This helps to reduce liquidity pressure on the Corporation and allows us to lock in rates on deposits in a low interest rate environment. Competition for deposits is very strong in our markets.
FHLB advances are another funding source. In the past, we have depended heavily on borrowings to fund balance sheet growth. While significant strategic and tactical focus is being placed on deposit growth currently, borrowings and additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB are still vital sources of liquidity and growth funding. As we noted in our annual report for 2007, we forecasted and are experiencing, tightened lending standards from the FHLB in the form of higher collateral maintenance requirements. While we have been successful in significantly reducing our debt over the last few years, we find that in the aggregate we can borrow less than we could three years ago, despite offering additional forms of collateral. This has come as a result of our shrinking 1-4 family loan portfolio, which serves as primary collateral for our borrowings, and our high level of nonperforming loans. We had approximately $51.1 million of additional borrowing capacity available at the FHLB as of June 30, 2008, compared to $97.7 million at December 31, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
The reduced borrowing capacity will somewhat limit our overall balance sheet growth as we have a lessened ability to leverage growth. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current loan commitments. Based upon historical
deposit flow data, our competitive pricing and management’s experience, we believe that a significant portion of our maturing certificates of deposit in 2008 will remain with the Bank, but recognize the significance of the risks discussed above.
Camco, like other financial institutions, is required under applicable federal regulations to maintain sufficient funds to meet deposit withdrawals, loan commitments and expenses. Liquid assets consist of cash and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, investments and mortgage-backed securities. Management monitors and assesses liquidity needs daily in order to meet deposit withdrawals, loan commitments and expenses.

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. Additionally, the payment of dividends by Advantage Bank to its parent and by Camco Financial Corporation to shareholders is subject to restriction by regulatory agencies. These restrictions normally limit dividends from the Bank to the sum of the Bank’s current and prior two years’ earnings, as defined by the agencies.
On May 7, 2008, we announced the execution of a definitive agreement to merge with First Place Financial Corp. As a condition to the merger and to preserve capital, Camco reduced its quarterly divided to $0.075 per share. If we report a net loss for any quarter prior to the closing of the merger, we cannot declare a dividend for that quarter. These conditions could impact our dividend for any quarter prior to merger completion.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The objective of the Bank’s asset/liability management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income within the Bank’s policy limits. This objective is accomplished through management of the Bank’s balance sheet composition, liquidity, and interest rate risk exposures arising from changing economic conditions, interest rates and customer preferences.
The goal of liquidity management is to provide adequate funds to meet changes in loan demand or unexpected deposit withdrawals. This is accomplished by maintaining liquid assets in the form of investment securities, maintaining sufficient unused borrowing capacity and achieving consistent growth in core deposits.
Management considers interest rate risk the Bank’s most significant market risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates. Consistency of the Bank’s net interest income is largely dependent upon the effective management of interest rate risk.
To identify and manage its interest rate risk, the Bank employs an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to changing interest rates. The model is based on actual cash flows and repricing characteristics and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the effect of changing interest rates on the prepayment rates of certain assets and liabilities. The model also includes management projections for activity levels in each of the product lines offered by the Bank. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates are also incorporated into the model. Assumptions are inherently uncertain and the measurement of net interest income or the impact of rate fluctuations on net interest income cannot be precisely predicted. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.
The Bank’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which includes senior management representatives and reports to the Bank’s Board of Directors, monitors and manages interest rate risk within Board-approved policy limits. The interest rate risk position of Camco is determined by measuring the anticipated change in net interest income over a twelve month horizon assuming an instantaneous and parallel shift (linear) increase or decrease in all interest rates. The ALCO also monitors the sensitivity of the Bank’s economic value of equity (“EVE”) due to sudden and sustained changes in market rates. The ALCO monitors the change in EVE on a percentage change basis.
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 the year ended December 31, 2007.
ITEM 4:   Controls and Procedures
     (a) Camco’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2008. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that Camco’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
     (b) There were no changes in Camco’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, which materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the internal controls over financial reporting.
