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 is the
origination of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate conventional loans for the
acquisition or construction of single-family residences. At December 31, 1999,
93.3% 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.
-4-
The interest rate adjustment periods on adjustable-rate mortgage loans
("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 their 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.
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. None of the Banks' ARMs have negative
amortization features.
Residential mortgage loans offered by the Banks are usually for terms
of 10 to 30 years, which could have an adverse effect upon earnings if the 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, 1999, 56.1% were ARMs and 43.9% were fixed-rate loans.
Adjustable-rate loans comprised 61.8% of Camco's total outstanding loans at
December 31, 1999.
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 loans to persons constructing projects for
investment purposes. At December 31, 1999, a total of $60.6 million, or
approximately 8.3% of Camco's total loans, consisted of construction loans,
primarily for one- to four-family properties.
Construction loans to owner-occupants are typically adjustable-rate
long-term loans on which the borrower pays only interest on the disbursed
portion 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 the Banks 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, 1999, the
Banks had twelve construction loans in the amount of $2.6 million on investment
properties.
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
-5-
Banks generally have an LTV of 80% or less. The largest nonresidential real
estate loan outstanding at December 31, 1999, was a $1.1 million loan secured by
a hotel in Washington Court House, Ohio. Nonresidential real estate loans
comprised 2.9% of total loans at December 31, 1999.
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. At December 31, 1999, Camco's
investment in nonresidential real estate loans was approximately 33.3% 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 for terms of up to 10 years.
Most other consumer loans are generally made at fixed rates of interest for
terms of up to 10 years. The risk of default on consumer loans during an
economic recession is greater than for residential mortgage loans. At December
31, 1999, education, consumer and other loans constituted 7.1% 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. The 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.
The procedure for approval of construction loans is the same as for
residential mortgage loans, except that the appraiser 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
-6-
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 substantially all of the ARMs originated by the Banks are held in the
Banks' loan portfolios. During the year ended December 31, 1999, Camco sold
approximately $96.9 million in loans to the FHLMC and others. Income from loans
serviced by Camco for others was $1.2 million for the year ended December 31,
1999.
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 $47.1 million at December
31, 1999. 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
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
-7-
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, 1999, was approximately $3.1 million for Cambridge Savings, $2.0
million for Marietta Savings, $1.8 million for First Federal and $1.7 million
for First Savings. The largest amount Cambridge Savings had outstanding to one
borrower and related persons or entities at December 31, 1999, was $1.4 million,
which consisted of one loan secured by apartment rental properties. The largest
amount Marietta Savings had outstanding to one borrower and related persons or
entities at December 31, 1999, was $1.7 million, which consisted of five loans
secured by a personal residence, commercial properties and leasing business
residuals. The largest amount First Federal had outstanding to one borrower was
$1.4 million, which consisted of one loan secured by multiple single-family
investment properties. The largest amount First Savings had outstanding to one
person and related persons or entities at December 31, 1999, was $1.2 million,
which consisted of 13 loans secured by single-family dwellings.
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
write-down 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.

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

The amount of interest income that would have been recorded had
nonaccrual loans performed in accordance with contractual terms totaled $171,000
for the year ended December 31, 1999. Interest collected on such loans and
included in net earnings was $61,000.
At December 31, 1999, 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. 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
-9-
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.
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, 1999, the aggregate amounts of Camco's classified assets
were as follows:

(In thousands)
Classified assets:
Substandard $4,121
Doubtful 40
Loss 31
-----
Total classified assets $4,192
=====
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 $114,000 designated as "special mention" at December 31, 1999.

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 laws 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.

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
-13-
programs, each having its own interest rate and range of maturities. Depending
on the program, limitations on the 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, 1999, each of the Banks met the QTL test.

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
The Banks compete 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, the Banks compete with other savings banks,
savings associations, commercial banks, consumer finance companies, credit
unions and other lenders. The Banks compete for loan originations primarily
through the interest rates and loan fees they charge and through the efficiency
and quality of the services they provide 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.
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,
-16-
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.
At December 31, 1999, Cambridge Savings and Marietta Savings each had a
direct investment in the capital stock of CMC in the amount of approximately
$950,000. 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 $129.8 million of mortgage loans in 1999,
$122.6 million of which were sold to Cambridge Savings and $7.2 million of which
were sold to Marietta Savings, compared to $144.0 million of mortgage loans in
1998, $137.8 million of which were sold to Cambridge Savings.
Marietta Savings had a direct investment in the capital stock of
WestMar in the amount of approximately $420,000 at December 31, 1999. The
principal business of WestMar is originating first mortgage loans on residential
real estate located in Wood County, West Virginia. WestMar originated $11.1
million of mortgage loans in 1999, $9.5 million of which were sold to Marietta
Savings, compared to $18.8 million of mortgage loans in 1998, $17.5 million of
which were sold to Marietta Savings.
First S&L Corporation had not conducted any business during the year
ended December 31, 1999, and was capitalized on a nominal basis at December 31,
1999.
Employees
As of December 31, 1999, Camco had 234 full-time employees and 32
part-time employees. Camco believes that relations with its employees are good.
Camco offers health and disability benefits and a 401(k) salary savings plan.
None of the employees of Camco are represented by a collective bargaining unit.
Year 2000 considerations
As computer systems rolled to the year 2000, Camco found no material
data processing issues, suffered no loss of business or data with its own
systems or those employed through critical third party vendors and though
prepared, no adverse effect on its liquidity position. Camco continues to remain
vigilant with potential Y2K programming issues and is maintaining its Y2K task
force for at least the remainder of the year 2000 to monitor potential Y2K
issues as they arise.
While management believes it has addressed all issues related to Y2K,
because of unknown external risks associated with this issue, Camco cannot
quantify the consequences and uncertainty involved beyond those already
identified. However, management believes such remaining external risks will not
have a material adverse effect on the Camco's financial condition or results of
operations.

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
-17-
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").
On November 12, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "GLB Act") was
enacted into law. The GLB Act repealed prior laws which had generally prevented
banks from affiliating with securities and insurance firms and made other
significant changes in the financial services in which various types of
financial institutions may engage.
Prior to the GLB Act, unitary savings and loan holding companies which
met certain requirements were the only financial institution holding companies
that were permitted to engage in any type of business activity, whether or not
the activity was a financial service. The GLB Act continues those broad powers
for unitary thrift holding companies in existence on May 4, 1999. Any thrift
holding company formed after May 4, 1999, however, will be subject to the same
restrictions as multiple thrift holding companies, which generally are limited
to activities that are considered incidental to banking.
The GLB authorizes a new "financial holding company," which can own
banks and thrifts and which are also permitted to engage in a variety of
financial activities, including insurance and securities underwriting and agency
activities, as long as the depository institutions it owns are well capitalized,
well managed and meet certain other tests.
The GLB Act is not expected to have a material effect on the activities
in which Camco and the Banks currently engage, except to the extent that
competition from other types of financial institutions may increase as they
engage in activities not permitted prior to enactment of the GLB Act.
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, 1999, Cambridge Savings and Marietta Savings had at least 60% of
their respective assets in such investments. The ability of Ohio savings banks
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 $3.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, to
one borrower at December 31, 1999. 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.
-18-
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 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). During fiscal 1998, certain maturity requirements
were removed, which, for First Federal and First Savings, resulted in a greater
-19-
eligible liquidity amount and percentage at December 31, 1999, than at prior
year ends. At December 31, 1999, such minimum requirement was an amount equal to
a monthly average of not less than 4% of its net withdrawable savings deposits
plus borrowings payable in one year or less computed as of the end of the prior
quarter or based on the average daily balance during the prior quarter. Monetary
penalties may be imposed upon associations failing to meet liquidity
requirements. The liquidity requirement of First Federal and First Savings was
approximately $3.7 million, or 4%, and $3.6 million, or 4%, respectively. First
Federal and First Savings' December 1999, monthly average exceeded the liquidity
requirement by approximately $7.1 million and $649,000, 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 Trust
Savings associations must meet one of two tests in order to be a
qualified thrift lender ("QTL"). The first test requires a savings association
to maintain a specified level of investments in assets that are designated as
qualifying thrift investments ("QTIs"). Generally, QTIs are assets related to
domestic residential real estate and manufactured housing, although they also
include credit card, student and small business loans and stock issued by any
FHLB, the FHLMC or the FNMA. Under the QTL 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 nine out of every 12 months. The second test permits a
savings association to qualify as a QTL by meeting the definition of "domestic
building and loan association" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). In order for an institution to meet the definition of a
"domestic building and loan association" under the Code, at least 60% of its
assets must consist of specified types of property, including cash, loans
secured by residential real estate or deposits, educational loans and certain
governmental obligations. The OTS may grant exceptions to the QTL tests under
certain circumstances. If a savings association fails to meet either one of the
QTL tests, the association and its holding company become subject to certain
operating and regulatory restrictions and the savings association will not be
eligible for new FHLB advances.
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. Capital distributions
include, without limitation, payments of cash dividends, repurchases and certain
other acquisitions by an association of its shares and payments to stockholders
of another association in an acquisition of such other association.
An application must be submitted and approval from the OTS must be
obtained by a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company (i) if the
proposed distribution would cause total distributions for the calendar year to
exceed net income for that year to date plus the savings association's retained
net income for that year to date plus the retained net income for the preceding
two years; (ii) if the savings association will not be at least adequately
capitalized following the capital distribution; (iii) if the proposed
distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any applicable statute,
regulation or agreement between the savings association and the OTS (or the
FDIC), or violate a condition imposed on the savings association in an
OTS-approved application or notice. If a savings association subsidiary of a
holding company is not required to file an application, it must file a notice of
the proposed capital distribution with the OTS. First Federal and First Savings
paid dividends to Camco totaling $3.4 million during 1999.
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
-20-
"readily marketable collateral." Certain types of loans are not subject to these
limits. A general exception to the 15% limit provides that 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, 1999, 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 4% 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. Pursuant to that requirement, a savings association must
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.
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
-22-
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, 1999, 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. 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. Each of the Banks' capital levels at December 31, 1999, 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
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
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 banks and state savings banks and the SAIF for savings
associations. The Banks are members of the SAIF and their deposit accounts are
-23-
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.
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, 1999.
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,
1999.
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%
-24-
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
-25-
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 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 $44.3
million (subject to an exemption of up to $5.0 million), and of 10% of net
transaction accounts in excess of $44.3 million. At December 31, 1999, 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 $14.6 million at December 31, 1999.
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
-26-
"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 may be subject to the alternative minimum
tax which 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
exemptions. 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 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. However, the
Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 repealed the alternative minimum tax for certain
"small corporations" for tax years beginning after December 31, 1997. A
corporation initially qualifies as a small corporation if it had average gross
receipts of $5,000,000 or less for the three tax years ending with its first tax
year beginning after December 31, 1996. Once a corporation is recognized as a
small corporation, it will continue to be exempt from the alternative minimum
tax for as long as its average gross receipts for the prior three-year period
does not exceed $7,500,000. In determining if a corporation meets this
requirement, the first year that it achieved small corporation status is not
taken into consideration.
Camco's average gross receipts for the three tax years ending on
December 31, 1999, is approximately $51.1 million and as a result, Camco does
not qualify as a small corporation exempt from the alternative minimum tax.
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, such as 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 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 and was subject to
certain limitations based on aggregate loans and savings account balances at the
end of the calendar year.
The Act eliminated the percentage of taxable income method of
accounting for bad debts by thrift institutions, effective for taxable years
beginning after 1995. Thrift institutions that are 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.
-27-
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 is treated
as 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 is treated as 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 than 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 or church property and certain mobile homes), but only to the extent
that the loan is made to the owner of the property. Camco has provided deferred
taxes of approximately $635,000 and began to amortize the recapture of the bad
debt reserve over a six year period, which commenced in 1998.
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 any
other purpose (except 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 any of 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 gross income of Camco 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, 1999, the pre-1988 reserves for the Banks
for tax purposes totaled approximately $1.9 million. Camco believes the Banks
had approximately $36.5 million of accumulated earnings and profits for tax
purposes as of December 31, 1999, which would be available for dividend
distributions, provided regulatory restrictions applicable to the payment of
dividends are met. 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 calendar year 1995. 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.
-28-
Ohio Taxation. Camco and Camco Title are subject to the Ohio
corporation franchise tax, which, as applied to them, is a tax measured by both
net earnings and net worth. For tax years beginning after December 31, 1999, the
rate of tax is the greater of (i) 5.1% on the first $50,000 of computed Ohio
taxable income and 8.5% of computed Ohio taxable income in excess of $50,000 or
(ii) .400% times taxable net worth.
A special litter tax is also applicable to all corporations, including
Camco, subject to the Ohio corporation franchise tax other than "financial
institutions." If the franchise tax is paid on the net income basis, the litter
tax is equal to .11% of the first $50,000 of computed Ohio taxable income and
.22% of computed Ohio taxable income in excess of $50,000. If the franchise tax
is paid on the net worth basis, the litter tax is equal to .014% times taxable
net worth.
The Banks are "financial institutions" for State of Ohio tax purposes.
As such, they are subject to the Ohio corporate franchise tax on "financial
institutions," which is imposed annually at a rate of 1.5% of their book net
worth determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
For tax year 2000, however, the franchise tax on financial institutions will be
1.4% of the book net worth and for tax year 2001 and years thereafter the tax
will be 1.3% of the book net worth. As "financial institutions," the Banks are
not subject to any tax based upon net income or net profits imposed by the State
of Ohio.
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, First Savings, Camco Title
and WestMar are 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 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
General
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 $813.5 million of consolidated assets at December 31, 1999.
Camco's rate of growth is largely attributable to its acquisitions of Marietta
Savings, First Federal, First Savings and GF Bancorp and its continued expansion
of product lines from the limited deposit and loan offerings which the Banks
could offer in the heavily regulated environment of the 1970s to the wider array
of financial service products that commercial banks traditionally offered.
Additionally, Camco has enhanced its operational growth by integrating its
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.
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 consumer preferences, Camco's management
designs financial service products with a view towards differentiating each of
the constituent Banks from its competition. Management believes that the Banks'
abilities to rapidly adapt to consumer needs and preferences is essential to
them as community-based financial institutions competing against the larger
regional and money-center bank holding companies.
Camco's profitability depends primarily on its 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 have also been heavily influenced by its level of other
income, including gains on sale of loans, loan servicing fees and other fees.
Camco's operations are also influenced by non interest expenses, including
employee compensation and benefits, occupancy expense, federal deposit insurance
premiums, data processing, advertising, other operating expenses and federal
income tax expense.
-36-
Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 1998 to December 31,
1999
At December 31, 1999, Camco's consolidated assets totaled $813.5
million, an increase of $176.3 million, or 27.7%, over the December 31, 1998
total. The growth in assets was primarily funded by an increase of $153.6
million in advances from the FHLB, deposit growth of $18.6 million and an
increase in stockholders' equity of $2.5 million.
Cash and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions
totaled $17.0 million at December 31, 1999, a decrease of $18.9 million, or
52.7%, from December 31, 1998 levels. The decrease reflects the use of available
funds to help finance the adjustable rate loan growth in the portfolio and the
purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities throughout 1999.
Investment securities totaled $17.1 million at December 31, 1999, an
increase of $4.9 million, or 39.8%, over the total at December 31, 1998. During
1999, investment securities totaling $10.9 million were purchased, while
maturities amounted to $6.0 million. Mortgage-backed securities totaled $12.4
million at December 31, 1999, an increase of $3.9 million, or 46.2%, over
December 31, 1998, due primarily to purchases totaling $7.1 million and
principal repayments totaling $2.8 million during the period.
Loans receivable and loans held for sale totaled $726.2 million at
December 31, 1999, an increase of $177.6 million, or 32.4%, over the total at
December 31, 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to loan disbursements
of $449.6 million, which were partially offset by principal repayments of $174.0
million and loan sales of $96.9 million. Loan origination volume during 1999 was
less than the record 1998 volume by $13.8 million, or 3.0%, while the volume of
loan sales decreased by $109.0 million year to year. The decrease in loan volume
was primarily attributable to a decrease in refinancing activity due to the
increase in interest rates during the year. The decrease in sales volume
resulted from a shift in consumer preference to adjustable rate loans resulting
from the overall increase in interest rates in the economy.
Nonperforming loans (90 days or more delinquent plus nonaccrual loans)
totaled $4.0 million and $4.3 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, constituting .55% and .78% of total net loans, including loans
held for sale at those dates. The consolidated allowance for loan losses totaled
$1.9 million and $1.8 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
representing 46.9% and 41.5% of nonperforming loans at those dates. The
provision for losses on loans for the year ended December 31, 1999, was
primarily attributable to the aforementioned growth in the loan portfolio during
1999. Although management believes that its allowance for loan losses at
December 31, 1999, is adequate based upon the available facts and circumstances,
there can be no assurance that additions to such allowance will not be necessary
in future periods, which could adversely affect Camco's results of operations.
Deposits totaled $461.8 million at December 31, 1999, an increase of
$18.6 million, or 4.2%, over December 31, 1998 levels. The increase resulted
primarily from management's continuing efforts to achieve a moderate rate of
growth through advertising and pricing strategies. Advances from the FHLB
increased by $153.6 million, or 122.4%, to a total of $279.1 million at December
31, 1999. The proceeds from deposit growth and FHLB advances were primarily used
to fund both new loan originations and the purchase of investments and
mortgage-backed securities during 1999.
The Banks are required to maintain minimum regulatory capital pursuant
to federal regulations. At December 31, 1999, each of the Banks' regulatory
capital exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998
General. Camco's net earnings for the year ended December 31, 1999,
totaled $5.9 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 15.2%, from the $7.0
-37-
million of net earnings reported in 1998. While net interest income increased by
$1.8 million, the overall decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to a
decrease in other income of $2.4 million and an increase in general,
administrative and other expense of $794,000, which were partially offset by a
decrease in the provision for federal income taxes of $334,000 and a decrease in
the provision for losses on loans of $3,000.
Net Interest Income. Total interest income for the year ended December
31, 1999, amounted to $51.1 million, an increase of $6.8 million, or 15.4%, over
1998, generally reflecting the effects of the $132.7 million, or 23.8%, of
growth in average interest-earning assets outstanding year to year, partially
offset by a decrease of 53 basis points in the average yield, from 7.93% in 1998
to 7.40% in 1999.
Interest income on loans and mortgage-backed securities totaled $48.7
million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $7.4 million, or
18.0%, over the comparable 1998 period, which was partially offset by a decrease
in the average yield from 8.10% in 1998 to 7.51% in 1999. The increase resulted
primarily from a $139.0 million, or 27.3%, growth in the average balance
outstanding year to year. Interest income on investments and interest-bearing
deposits decreased by $596,000, or 19.7%, due to a decrease in the average
outstanding balances of $6.3 million, or 13.1%.
Interest expense on deposits decreased by $419,000, or 2.1%, to a total
of $19.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, due primarily to a
decline in the average cost of deposits of 33 basis points to 4.22%, which was
partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits outstanding
of $24.0 million, or 5.6%. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $10.8 million
for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $5.5 million, or 103.0%,
over 1998. The increase resulted primarily from a $105.0 million increase in the
average balance of borrowings outstanding year to year.
As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest
expense, net interest income increased by $1.8 million, or 9.0%, to a total of
$21.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to 1998. The
interest rate spread decreased to approximately 2.82% for the year ended
December 31, 1999, from 3.19% for 1998, while the net interest margin decreased
to approximately 3.07% in 1999, compared to 3.48% in 1998.
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 portfolios. The provision for losses on loans
totaled $247,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, a decrease of $3,000, or
1.2%, from the provision recorded in 1998. The current period provision
generally reflects the effects of loan portfolio growth coupled with a decrease
of $321,000 in the level of nonperforming loans year to year. In the period
subsequent to December 31, 1999, approximately $61,000 of the nonperforming
loans have been paid off or paid to current status. Management believes the
remaining nonperforming loans are adequately collateralized and anticipates no
loss on these loans. While management uses the most current information
available in setting loan loss provisions, there can be no assurance that the
loan loss allowance will be adequate to cover losses on nonperforming assets in
the future.
Other Income. Other income decreased for the year ended December 31,
1999, by $2.4 million, or 31.3%, as compared to 1998. The decrease in other
income was primarily attributable to a $2.2 million, or 55.5%, decrease in gains
on sale of loans and a decrease of $410,000, or 16.1%, in late charges, rent and
other, which were partially offset by $358,000, or 102.9%, increase in loan
servicing fees. The decrease in gains on sale of loans primarily reflects a
decrease in sales volume year to year. The decrease in late charges, rent and
other was primarily attributable to a $171,000 decrease in title service fees at
the Corporation's title agency subsidiary, as a result of the decrease in loan
origination volume, and a $99,000 decrease in non-operating income.
-38-
General, Administrative and Other Expense. General, administrative and
other expense totaled $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an
increase of $794,000, or 4.9%, compared to 1998. The increase was due primarily
to a $628,000, or 8.6%, increase in employee compensation and benefits, a
$426,000 or 20.9%, increase in occupancy and equipment, a $180,000, or 27.1%,
increase in franchise taxes, a $25,000 or 4.0%, increase in advertising and a
$227,000, or 6.0%, increase in other operating costs, which were partially
offset by a $664,000, or 44.3%, decrease in data processing expense. The
increase in employee compensation and benefits resulted primarily from an
increase in staffing levels and normal merit increases year to year. The
increase in occupancy and equipment was primarily attributable to an increase in
both depreciation expense on office equipment and building maintenance costs.
The increase in other operating expenses included an increase of $72,000 in
other loan expense reflective of overall loan growth and an increase of $82,000
in ATM processing fees, which were incurred to convert all of Camco's ATM's to a
common processor, allowing for potential lower future processing fees due to
larger volumes of transactions being processed. The decrease in data processing
costs resulted due to the one time prior year expenditures incurred to modernize
the Corporation's data processing systems and to address the Year 2000 issue.
Advertising, franchise taxes and other operating expenses increased primarily as
a result of the Corporation's overall growth year to year.
Federal Income Taxes. The provision for federal income taxes totaled
$3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, a decrease of $334,000, or
9.8%, compared to the provision recorded in 1998. This decrease was primarily
attributable to a $1.4 million, or 13.4%, decrease in pre-tax earnings year to
year. The effective tax rate amounted to 34.1% and 32.7% for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Corporation's change in effective
tax rate year to year was primarily attributable to the Corporation's receipt of
nontaxable life insurance proceeds in 1998.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997
General. Camco's net earnings for the year ended December 31, 1998,
totaled $7.0 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 31.1%, over the $5.3
million of net earnings reported in 1997. The increase in earnings was primarily
attributable to an increase in net interest income of $992,000, an increase in
other income of $3.6 million and a decrease in the provision for losses on loans
of $135,000, which were partially offset by an increase in general,
administrative and other expense of $2.6 million and an increase in the
provision for federal income taxes of $488,000.
Net Interest Income. Total interest income for the year ended December
31, 1998, amounted to $44.3 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 7.4%, over
1997, generally reflecting the effects of the $47.1 million, or 9.2%, of growth
in average interest-earning assets outstanding, partially offset by a decrease
of 14 basis points in the yield year to year, from 8.07% in 1997 to 7.93% in
1998.
Interest income on loans and mortgage-backed securities totaled $41.3
million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $2.9 million, or
7.5%, over the comparable 1997 period. The increase resulted primarily from a
$42.6 million, or 9.1%, growth in the average balance outstanding year to year.
Interest income on investments and interest-bearing deposits increased by
$190,000, or 6.7%, due to an increase in the average outstanding balances of
$4.5 million, or 10.3%.
Interest expense on deposits increased by $639,000, or 3.4%, to a total
of $19.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, due primarily to an
increase in the average balance of deposits outstanding of $17.1 million, or
4.2%, which was partially offset by a decline in the average cost of deposits of
four basis points to 4.55%. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $5.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $1.4 million, or 37.0%,
over 1997. The increase resulted primarily from a $28.0 million increase in the
average balance of borrowings outstanding year to year.
-39-
As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest
expense, net interest income increased by $992,000, or 5.4%, to a total of $19.4
million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The interest rate spread decreased
to approximately 3.19% for the year ended December 31, 1998, from 3.31% for
1997, while the net interest margin decreased to approximately 3.48% in 1998,
compared to 3.61% in 1997.
Provision for Losses on Loans. The provision for losses on loans
totaled $250,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998, a decrease of $135,000,
or 35.1%, from 1997. The current period provision generally reflects the effects
of loan portfolio growth coupled with an increase of $2.4 million in the level
of nonperforming loans.
Other Income. Other income increased for the year ended December 31,
1998, by $3.6 million, or 91.4%, over 1997. The increase in other income was
primarily attributable to a $2.4 million, or 147.3%, increase in gains on sale
of loans and an increase of $1.2 million, or 84.3%, in late charges, rent and
other. The increase in gains on sale of loans primarily reflects an increase in
sales volume year to year. The increase in late charges, rent and other was
primarily attributable to a $450,000 increase in title service fees at the
Corporation's title agency subsidiary as a result of the increase in loan
origination volume, a $99,000 gain on settlement of life insurance policies and
an overall increase in fees related to loans and other services due to the
Corporations' growth year to year.
General, Administrative and Other Expense. General, administrative and
other expense totaled $16.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an
increase of $2.6 million, or 18.8% compared to 1997. The increase was due
primarily to a $689,000, or 10.4%, increase in employee compensation and
benefits, a $357,000, or 21.2%, increase in occupancy and equipment, an
$854,000, or 132.4%, increase in data processing, a $101,000, or 19.5%, increase
in advertising, a $154,000, or 30.2%, increase in franchise taxes and a
$426,000, or 12.8%, increase in other operating costs. The increase in employee
compensation and benefits resulted primarily from an increase in staffing levels
and normal merit increases year to year. The increase in occupancy and equipment
was primarily attributable to an increase in both depreciation expense on office
equipment and building maintenance costs. The increase in other operating
expenses included $212,000 in costs recorded in 1998 related to the Merger. The
increase in data processing costs resulted from replacing and modernizing the
Corporation's data processing systems and in addressing the Year 2000 issue.
Advertising, franchise taxes and other operating expenses increased primarily as
a result of the Corporation's overall growth year to year.
Federal Income Taxes. The provision for federal income taxes totaled
$3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $488,000, or
16.7%, over 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to a $2.1 million, or
26.0%, increase in pre-tax earnings. The effective tax rate amounted to 32.7%
and 35.3% for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
Corporation's change in effective tax rate year to year was primarily
attributable to the Corporation's receipt of nontaxable life insurance proceeds
in 1998.
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 for 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.
-40-
Camco attempts to maintain a stable retail deposit base which does not
utilize brokered deposits. During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
Camco maintained its deposit balance goals by offering competitive, but not
excessive, interest rates on deposits.
At December 31, 1999, the Banks had total outstanding loan commitments
of $80.2 million, which included outstanding loan origination commitments,
outstanding commitments to purchase loans, undisbursed loans in process of $27.6
million, and borrower's unused lines of credit of $23.1 million. Such
commitments can be funded from current excess liquidity and normal cash flow
from operations.
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.
Year 2000 Issue
Upon arrival of January 1, 2000, Camco found no material data
processing issues, suffered no loss of business or data with its own systems or
those employed through critical third party vendors and though prepared, no
adverse effect on its liquidity position. Camco continues to remain vigilant
with potential Y2K programming issues and is maintaining its Y2K task force for
at least the remainder of the year 2000 to monitor potential Y2K issues as they
arise.
While management believes it has addressed all issues related to Y2K,
because of unknown external risks associated with this issue, Camco cannot
quantify the consequences and uncertainty involved beyond those already
identified. However, management believes such remaining external risks will not
have a material adverse effect on the Camco's financial condition or results of
operations.
Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 Camco's financial statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Net interest income, the difference between asset yields and the cost
of interest-bearing liabilities, is the principal component of Camco's net
-41-
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 prevailing interest rate levels. 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 repricing during a specified interval. 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 Banks 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, (2) originating adjustable-rate mortgage loans ("ARMs") as
demand increases coincident with the overall rise in interest rates in the
economy, (3) 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 a lower interest rate environment, and
(4) utilizing FHLB advances and longer term certificates of deposit as funding
sources when available.
The following table contains information regarding the amounts of
various categories of assets and liabilities repricing within the periods

Camco Financial Corporation
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The business activities of Camco Financial Corporation ("Camco" or the
"Corporation") have been limited primarily to holding the common shares of
its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Cambridge Savings Bank ("Cambridge Savings"),
Marietta Savings Bank ("Marietta Savings"), First Federal Savings Bank of
Washington Court House ("First Federal"), First Federal Bank for Savings
("First Savings") (collectively hereinafter the "Banks") and Camco Title
Insurance Agency ("Camco Title"), formerly known as 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 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.
During 1997, the Board of Directors of Camco approved a business combination
whereby GF Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Germantown Federal Savings
Bank, would merge with and into the Corporation, and Germantown Federal
Savings Bank would merge with and into First Federal. The merger was
approved by regulatory authorities in 1997, and was completed in January
1998. The business combination was accounted for as a pooling of interests
and, accordingly, the assets, liabilities and capital of the respective
combining companies were added together at historic carrying value. The
consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997 have previously
been restated to give effect to the combination as of January 1, 1997.
During 1999, the Board of Directors of Camco approved a business combination
whereby Westwood Homestead Financial Corporation, the parent of Westwood
Homestead Savings Bank, would be acquired and dissolved upon consummation,
with Westwood Homestead Savings Bank becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Corporation. The merger was approved by regulatory authorities in 1999,
and was completed in January 2000. The business combination was accounted
for as a purchase.

Camco Financial Corporation
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The following is a summary of the Corporation's significant accounting
policies which 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 Corporation 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 rates to the extent
that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more rapidly than
interest-earning assets. At December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the
Corporation had net interest-earning assets of $776.3 million, $605.4
million and $540.7 million, with weighted average effective yields 7.39%,
7.63% and 8.04%, respectively, and net interest-bearing liabilities of
approximately $740.9 million, $568.7 million and $504.7 million, with
weighted average effective interest rates 4.81%, 4.69% and 4.99%,
respectively. 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, 1999, the Corporation's
stockholders' equity reflected a net unrealized loss on securities
designated as available for sale of $124,000. At December 31, 1998, the
Corporation's stockholders' equity reflected net unrealized gains on
securities designated as available for sale of $96,000. Realized gains and
losses on sales of securities are recognized using the specific
identification method.

December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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, 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.
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost (less principal
payments received) or fair value (market value), calculated on an aggregate
basis. At December 31, 1999 the Corporation recorded a $34,000 charge
related to a market value decline on loans held for sale. At December 31,
1998, such loans were carried at cost, which approximated fair value.
The Corporation accounts for mortgage servicing rights in accordance with
SFAS No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities," 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 must allocate some of the cost of the loans to the mortgage
servicing rights.
SFAS No. 125 requires that capitalized mortgage servicing rights and
capitalized excess servicing receivables be assessed for impairment.
Impairment is measured based on fair value. The mortgage servicing rights
recorded by the Banks', calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 125, 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.

December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
4. Loans Receivable (continued)
The Corporation recorded amortization related to mortgage servicing rights
totaling approximately $516,000, $704,000 and $497,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. At December 31, 1999 and
1998, the carrying value and the fair value of the Corporation's mortgage
servicing rights totaled approximately $4.5 million and $3.6 million,
respectively.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Banks were servicing mortgage loans of
approximately $421.3 million and $408.6 million, respectively, 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, current trends in the level
of delinquent and 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 Banks'
primary market areas. When the collection of a loan becomes doubtful, or
otherwise troubled, the Corporation records a charge-off 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
6. Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)
The Corporation accounts for impaired loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan". SFAS No. 114 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 loan's observable market price or fair value of the
collateral.
A loan is defined under SFAS No. 114 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 any impairment thereon, such loans are generally collateral
dependent and as a result are carried as a practical expedient at the lower
of cost or fair value.
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, 1999 and 1998, 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
Office premises and equipment are carried at cost and include expenditures
which extend the useful lives of existing assets. Maintenance, repairs and
minor renewals are expensed as incurred. For financial reporting,
depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line and
accelerated methods over the 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. An accelerated depreciation method
is used for tax reporting purposes.

9. Goodwill
Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of First Savings 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 intangible assets in relation to the continuing earnings
capacity of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.
10. Federal Income Taxes
The Corporation accounts for federal income taxes in accordance with SFAS
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." In accordance with 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.
Deferral of income taxes results primarily from different methods of
accounting for deferred loan origination fees and costs, mortgage servicing
rights, Federal Home Loan Bank stock dividends, the general loan loss
allowance and the percentage of earnings bad debt deductions. A temporary
difference is also recognized for depreciation expense computed using
accelerated methods for federal income tax purposes.
11. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on 5,730,829, 5,751,918, and
5,736,121 weighted-average common shares outstanding for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Weighted-average common
shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 1997 have been adjusted
to reflect the effects of the GF Bancorp merger, the three-for-two stock
split during 1998, and a 5% stock dividend effected during 1999.
Weighted-average common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31,
1998 have been adjusted to reflect the 5% stock dividend effected during
1999.

11. Earnings Per Share (continued)
Diluted earnings per share is computed taking into consideration common
shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares to be issued under
the Corporation's stock option plan. Weighted-average common shares deemed
outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share totaled
5,834,391, 5,903,073 and 5,861,649 for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively. There were 103,562, 151,155 and 125,528
incremental shares related to the assumed exercise of stock options included
in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Options to purchase 65,416
shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $14.94 were
outstanding at December 31, 1999, but were excluded from the computation of
diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the
average market price of the common shares.
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.
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 statements of financial condition for cash and
cash equivalents is deemed to approximate fair value.
Investment Securities and Mortgage-backed Securities: Fair
values for investment securities and mortgage-backed
securities are based on quoted market prices and dealer
quotes.

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
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 statements 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 to equal the amount payable on demand as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998. 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.
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, 1999 and 1998, 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 $616.4 million, or 85%, of the total loan portfolio at
December 31, 1999 and approximately $475.0 million, or 88%, of the total
loan portfolio at December 31, 1998. 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, 1999 and 1998.

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
liquidation, 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 $8.4 million as of December
31, 1999. The amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability relating to
the cumulative bad debt deduction was approximately $2.2 million at December
31, 1999.
The Banks are required to recapture as taxable income approximately $1.9
million of the bad debt reserves, which represents post-1987 additions, and
are 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 are amortizing the recapture of the bad debt reserve into taxable
income over a six year period, commencing in 1998.

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.
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, 1999 and 1998, the Banks had outstanding commitments to
originate or purchase fixed rate loans of approximately $1.1 million and
$9.2 million, respectively, and adjustable rate loans of approximately $10.0
million and $9.2 million, respectively. Additionally, the Banks had unused
lines of credit under home equity and other loans of $23.1 million at
December 31, 1999. 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. At December 31, 1999, the Corporation had a commitment to sell
loans to FHLMC totaling $100 million which expires in November 2000.
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.

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.

NOTE J - REGULATORY CAPITAL (continued)
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 tables that follow.
The FDIC has adopted risk-based capital ratio guidelines to which Cambridge
Savings and Marietta Savings 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.
As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, management believes that Cambridge Savings
and Marietta Savings met all capital adequacy requirements to which the
Banks were subject.

NOTE J - REGULATORY CAPITAL (continued)
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. Effective
April 1999, the core capital requirement provides for minimum core capital
(tangible capital plus certain forms of supervisory goodwill and other
qualifying intangible assets) generally equal to 4.0% of adjusted total
assets. In 1998 the core capital requirement was equal to 3.0% of adjusted
total assets. The risk-based capital requirement generally 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, 1999 and 1998, management believes that First Federal and
First Savings met all capital adequacy requirements to which the Banks were
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 Banks' market areas, could adversely affect future earnings
and, consequently, the ability to meet future minimum regulatory capital
requirements.
First Federal and First Savings are subject to regulations imposed by the
OTS regarding the amount of capital distributions payable to the
Corporation. Generally, First Federal and First Savings's payment of
dividends is limited, without prior OTS approval, to net earnings for the
current calendar year plus the two preceding years, less capital
distributions paid over the comparable time period. Insured institutions are
required to file an application with the OTS for capital distributions in
excess of this limitation. During January 2000, First Federal and First
Savings received OTS approval to make up to $1.0 million and $1.8 million,
respectively, in capital distributions during the year ended December 31,
2000.

NOTE K - BENEFIT PLANS
The Corporation has a non-contributory retirement plan which provides
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 $45,000, $42,000
and $66,000 during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
The Corporation also has a 401(k) Salary Savings Plan covering substantially
all employees. Total expense under this plan was $181,000, $783,000 and
$140,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
NOTE L - STOCK OPTION PLANS
Stockholders of the Corporation have approved three stock option plans.
Under the 1972 Plan, 254,230 common shares were reserved for issuance to
officers, directors, and key employees of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries. The 1982 Plan reserved 115,824 common shares for issuance to
employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. All of the stock options
under the 1972 and 1982 Plans have been granted and were subject to exercise
at the discretion of the grantees through 2002. Under the 1995 Plan, 161,488
shares were reserved for issuance. Additionally, in connection with the
acquisition of First Savings Financial Corporation ("First Savings"), the
stock options of First Savings were converted into options to purchase
174,421 shares of the Corporation's stock at an exercise price of $7.38 per
share. The foregoing number of shares under option have been adjusted to
reflect the three-for-two stock split effected during 1998 and the 5% stock
dividend effected during 1999.
The Corporation accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with 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 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.

The Corporation utilizes APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in
accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has
been recognized for the plans. Had compensation cost for the Corporation's
stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant
dates for awards under the plans consistent with the accounting method
utilized in SFAS No. 123, the Corporation's net earnings and earnings per
share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
