MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the nine- and three-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (continued)
7. Recent Developments The following summarizes key activities of the Company during the quarter and year ended September 30, 2009
• The Company's total assets declined and maturing borrowings were repaid with excess cash;

• Total loans declined reflecting a decrease in lending opportunities relating to the economic conditions in our market areas

• Additional foreclosed asset valuations resulted in increased operating expenses through additional valuation allowances and maintenance and property tax expense

• Additional expenses related to special assessment levied by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") was paid in September

• Interest expense continues to decrease as current rates paid on deposits are lower than in prior periods as management has cautiously priced deposits. Balances of high-cost certificates of deposit and FHLB advances have been lower through the first nine months of fiscal 2009, and most of the advances that have matured during the first nine months of this fiscal year have been repaid with excess liquidity

• Net charge-offs totaled $3.6 million for the quarter and $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

• Real estate owned increased $3.1 million during the current nine months, which is reflective of prior identified loans evolving through the collection cycle.

8. Subsequent Event In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 165, Subsequent Events, we have evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing. We do not believe there are any material subsequent events which would require further disclosure. Item 2.

For the nine- and three-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009(continued)
Forward Looking Statements (continued)
• retention of our existing customer base and our ability to attract new customers;

• the development of new products and services and their success in the marketplace;

• the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; and

• statements regarding our anticipated loan and deposit account growth, expense levels, liquidity and capital resources and projections of earnings.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance such expectations will prove to have been correct, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements included herein include, but are not limited to:
• competition in the industry and markets in which we operate;

• levels of non-performing assets;

• changes in general interest rates;

• loan demand;

• rapid changes in technology affecting the financial services industry;

• real estate values;

• changes in government regulation; and

• general economic and business conditions.

Since 2008, our loan quality has been negatively impacted by deteriorating conditions within the commercial real estate market and economy as a whole, which has caused declines in commercial real estate values and deterioration in financial condition of various commercial borrowers. Additionally, increases in delinquent real estate mortgage loans has occurred as a result of deteriorating economic conditions and a decline in the housing market across our geographic footprint that reflected declining home prices and increasing inventories of houses for sale. These conditions have led Camco to downgrade the loan quality ratings on various commercial real estate loans through its normal loan review process. In addition, several impaired loans have become under-collateralized due to reductions in the estimated net realizable fair value of the underlying collateral. As a result, Camco's provision for loans losses, net charge-offs and nonperforming loans in recent quarters have been higher than historical levels. The additional provisions for loan losses in this period were largely attributed to the aforementioned issues.

For the nine- and three-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009(continued)
Overview:
Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009
Camco offers diversified financial products and services through 23 financial service locations in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky through its financial unit, Advantage Bank and a subsidiary, Camco Title Agency, Inc. Products and services include traditional banking products, such as deposit accounts and lending products through traditional offices, ATMs and telephone and internet-based banking. Additionally we offer title insurance which is provided Camco Title.
At September 30, 2009, Camco's consolidated assets totaled $891.4 million, a decrease of $109.0 million, or 10.9% , from December 31, 2008. The decrease in total assets resulted primarily from decreases in loans receivable. We anticipate total assets to begin stabilizing as our commercial loan department has increased the pipeline and new loans are being generated within our newly established policy standards. Other lending activity continues to be hindered by the economy which is negatively affecting loan demand. The continued decrease in residential lending has affected our profits relating to the sale of fixed rate loans. Continued pay down of loans will likely be used to further reduce outstanding borrowings and brokered deposits.
Cash and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions totaled $58.2 million at September 30, 2009, an increase of $6.0 million, or 11.4%, from December 31, 2008. As noted in our annual report for fiscal year 2008, we continue to improve our liquidity position by reducing borrowings and brokered deposits and will continue to utilize excess cash to reduce borrowings and deploy into loans and investment securities in the remainder of 2009. We also have seen a decrease of $53.6 million, or 7.4%, in deposits, primarily in higher yielding certificates of deposits and public funds. We continue to price certificates of deposit specials in a manner that retains "core" customers rather than attracting interest rate sensitive certificate of deposit customers. Additionally, we continue to focus our commercial efforts into core banking relationships by establishing depository accounts with our lending customers. Securities totaled $63.1 million at September 30, 2009, a decrease of $35.7 million, or 36.1%, from December 31, 2008. The decrease was attributable to principal repayments totaling $60.2 million offset partially by the purchases of $24.0 million of securities and a $448,000 decrease in the fair market value of securities available for sale for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The yield on agencies purchased during the nine month period was 1.49%. No purchases were made in the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Loans receivable net, including loans held for sale, totaled $686.6 million at September 30, 2009, a decrease of $72.2 million, or 9.5%, from December 31, 2008. The decrease resulted primarily from principal repayments of $154.7 million and loan sales of $91.9 million which were partially offset by loan disbursements and purchases totaling $184.2 million. The volume of loans originated and purchased during the nine months of 2009 decreased compared to the same 2008 period by $10.7 million, or 5.5%, while the volume of loan sales increased by $55.1 million, or 149.7%, period to period. The decrease in outstanding loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 occurred primarily in our retail residential mortgage loan portfolio. While we have seen slight increases in prepayments on residential mortgage loans, our ability to produce new portfolio residential mortgage loans has been significantly impaired by the housing market, with new and existing home sales declining coupled with customers preference toward fixed rate loans which we have historically sold and serviced.

For the nine- and three-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009(continued)
Loan originations during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, were comprised primarily of $58.5 million in commercial loans, $97.7 million of loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate and $28.0 million in consumer and other loans. Our intent is to continue to service our communities with their residential needs while also expanding consumer and commercial real estate lending in future periods as a means of increasing the yield on our loan portfolio.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $12.5 million and $15.7 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, representing 23.9% and 29.4% of nonperforming loans, respectively, at those dates. Nonperforming loans (90 days or more delinquent plus nonaccrual loans) totaled $51.9 million and $53.5 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, constituting 7.61% and 7.05% of total net loans, including loans held for sale, at those dates. Net charge-offs totaled $5.1 million during the first nine months of 2009.
The following table details nonperforming and delinquent loans at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Although we believe that the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2009, is adequate to cover probable, incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio at that date based upon the available facts and circumstances, there can be no assurance that additions to the allowance for loan losses will not be necessary in future periods, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Unemployment rates in our markets and Ohio in general, are higher than the national average, and bankruptcy and foreclosure filings in Ohio are very high compared to the rest of the nation. Additionally, Ohio is experiencing declining values of residential real estate. However, Ohio in general has not experienced significant increases in home values over the past five years like many regions in the U.S., which should comparatively mitigate losses on loans. Nonetheless, these factors, compounded by a very uncertain national economic outlook, may increase the level of future losses beyond our current expectations.

At September 30, 2009, the Company's real estate owned (REO) consisted of 119 repossessed properties with a net book value of $8.9 million. Initial loss is recorded as a charge to the allowance for loan losses within 90 days of being transferred to REO. Thereafter, if there is a further deterioration in value, a specific valuation allowance is established and charged to operations. The Company reflects costs to carry REO as period costs in operations when incurred. When property is acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, it is initially recorded at the fair value of the related assets at the date of foreclosure, less estimated costs to sell the property.
The Company works with borrowers to avoid foreclosure if possible. Furthermore, if it becomes inevitable that a borrower will not be able to retain ownership of their property, the Company often seeks a deed in lieu of foreclosure in order to gain control of the property earlier in the recovery process. As a result, real estate owned grew $3.1 million during the nine months of 2009. The strategy of pursuing deeds in lieu of foreclosure more aggressively should result in a reduction in the holding period for nonperforming assets and ultimately reduce economic losses.

In early 2009, brokered deposits were used to reduce borrowings and improve the Bank's liquidity position. However, we acknowledge that brokered deposits are not core, franchise-enhancing deposits, and we plan to continue with our current strategy of improving the long-term funding mix of the Bank's deposit portfolio by aggregating small business, commercial and retail checking accounts. We continue to allow brokered deposits to mature and have not purchased deposits in the third quarter of 2009. We have implemented a number of organizational and product development initiatives designed to increase commercial and small business checking accounts and have added some new certificates of deposit to maintain our "core" customers.
Competitive markets and our conservative pricing strategy have shrunk our higher cost certificates of deposits. Money market accounts have also decreased primarily due to our aggressive rate reduction during 2009 as customers continue to look for better rates. This strategy has helped maintain our margin, and we believe that if we are able to maintain most of the certificates of deposit maturing in the remainder of 2009 the continuing decrease of rates will help to slightly reduce our cost of funds during the latter portion of the year, based on our current expectation for interest rates.
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances and other borrowings totaled $133.9 million at September 30, 2009, a decrease of $50.0 million, or 27.2%, from the total at December 31, 2008. The decrease in borrowings was primarily due to the decrease in loans receivable and our investment portfolios. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for further discussion on our borrowings position.
Stockholders' equity totaled $72.6 million at September 30, 2009, an increase of $898,000, or 1.3%, from December 31, 2008. The majority of the increase resulted from net earnings of $591,000, coupled with entries relating to FAS 123R stock options and increased value of unrealized gains which were offset partially by dividends of $143,000.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
Camco's net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, totaled $591,000, an increase of $152,000, or 34.6%, from the $439,000 of net earnings reported in the comparable 2008 period. Earnings per share totaled $0.08 and $0.06 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in earnings was primarily attributable to a decrease in the provision for losses on loans of $1.9 million and an increase in other income of $899,000. These were partially offset by a decrease in net interest income of $1.7 million and an increase of $533,000 in general administrative and other expenses.

Interest Income
Net interest income amounted to $17.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 8.7%, compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, generally reflecting the effects of a $85.4 million decrease in the average balance of interest earning assets. Net interest margin increased to 2.82% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 2.81% for the comparable period in 2008.
Margin pressure continues to be a challenge due to the continued decline in yield on assets which normally occurs at a faster rate than cost of funds coupled with our volume of non performing loans. At the same time, the loan portfolio has not grown to offset the tighter spreads. But our management continues to work diligently on our classified and non performing assets to better position the portfolio. Portfolio lending had slowed in the first half of 2009 but we have begun to see additional lending possibilities arise in the commercial area and continue to work in our communities with real estate brokers and community contacts to strengthen our residential lending efforts.
