Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington or the Company) reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, the results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC or Commission) and, therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been omitted. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Huntington’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2004 Form 10-K), which include descriptions of significant accounting policies, as updated by the information contained in this report, should be read in conjunction with these interim financial statements.

Certain amounts in the prior-year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

For statement of cash flows purposes, cash and cash equivalents are defined as the sum of “Cash and due from banks” and “Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements.”

Note 2 — New Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment(Statement 123R)— Statement 123R was issued in December 2004, requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Statement 123R covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Statement 123R replaces FASB Statement No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(Statement 123), and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees(APB 25). Statement 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that Statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in APB 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed pro forma net income under the preferable fair-value-based method. In its 2004 Form 10-K, Huntington disclosed adopting Statement 123R effective January 1, 2005. Subsequently however, new guidance was issued by the SEC that provides the option to postpone adoption of Statement 123R until the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. As such, Huntington has postponed the adoption of Statement 123R until January 1, 2006.(Pro forma disclosures required by Statement 123 are provided in Note 10.)

Statement 123R will require the immediate recognition at the grant date of the full share-based compensation expense for grants to retirement eligible employees, as the explicit vesting period is non-substantive. The estimated effect of applying the explicit vesting period approach versus the non-substantive approach is not material to any period presented.

Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107,Share Based Payments (SAB 107)— On March 29, 2005, the SEC issued SAB 107 to provide public companies additional guidance in applying the provisions of Statement 123R. Among other things, SAB 107 describes the SEC staff’s expectations in determining the assumptions that underlie the fair value estimates and discusses the interaction of Statement 123R with certain existing SEC guidance. Huntington will adopt the provisions of SAB 107 in conjunction with the adoption of FAS 123R beginning January 1, 2006.

FASB Interpretation No. 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47)—In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN 47, which clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. FIN 47 refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. An entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 becomes effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. Huntington does not expect the impact of adopting FIN 47 will be significant.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (Statement 154)— In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement 154, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20,Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3,Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. Statement 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Statement 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The impact of this new pronouncement is not expected to be material to Huntington’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

FASB Staff Position No. 106-2,Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003(FSP 106-2) —In December 2003, a law was enacted that expands Medicare benefits, primarily adding a prescription drug benefit for Medicare-eligible retirees beginning in 2006. The law also provides a federal subsidy to companies that sponsor postretirement benefit plans providing prescription drug coverage. FSP 106-2 specifies that any Medicare subsidy must be taken into account in measuring the employer’s postretirement health care benefit obligation and will also reduce the net periodic postretirement cost in future periods. During the first quarter of 2005, government authorities issued further clarification on certain aspects of the Medicare Act. Huntington is currently in the process of determining whether to register for the Medicare subsidy and therefore the postretirement benefit obligations and net periodic costs reported in the accompanying financial statements and notes do not reflect the impact of this legislation. The impact of this new pronouncement is not expected to be material to Huntington’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Proposed FASB interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 —Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions—In July 2005, the FASB issued an exposure draft of a proposed interpretation on accounting for uncertain tax positions under SFAS No. 109“Accounting for Income Taxes”. The Exposure Draft contains proposed guidance on the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. If adopted as proposed, the Company would be required to recognize, in its financial statements, the best estimate of the impact of a tax position, only if that tax position is probable of being sustained on audit based solely on the technical merits of the position. The proposed effective date for the Interpretation is December 31, 2005, with a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to be recorded upon the initial adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this proposed interpretation will have on its financial statements. The proposed Interpretation is subject to a 60-day comment period followed by final deliberations by the FASB and, therefore, is subject to change.

Note 3 — Securities and Exchange Commission Formal Investigation

On June 26, 2003, Huntington announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission staff was conducting a formal investigation into certain financial accounting matters relating to fiscal years 2002 and earlier and certain related disclosure matters.

On June 2, 2005, Huntington announced that the five-member Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) approved the settlement of its previously announced formal investigation into certain financial accounting matters. As a part of the settlement, the Commission instituted a cease and desist administrative proceeding and entered a cease and desist order, as well as filed a civil action in federal district court pursuant to which, without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, Huntington, its chief executive officer, Thomas Hoaglin, its former chief financial officer, Michael McMennamin, and its former controller, John Van Fleet have consented to pay civil money penalties. Huntington consented to pay a penalty of $7.5 million, which may be distributed pursuant to the Fair Fund provisions of Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This civil money penalty had no 2005 financial impact on Huntington’s results, as reserves for this amount were established and expensed in 2004.

violations of these provisions. Additionally, Hoaglin, McMennamin, and Van Fleet agreed to pay disgorgement, pre-judgment interest, and penalties in the amounts of $667,609, $415,215, and $51,660, respectively. Van Fleet consented to a suspension from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant for two years pursuant to Rule 102(e) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice. McMennamin consented to an undertaking that he will not act as an officer or director of a public company for five years.

Note 4 — Formal Regulatory Supervisory Agreements

On March 1, 2005, Huntington announced that it had entered into a formal written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (FRBC) and that the Bank had entered into a formal written agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), providing for a comprehensive action plan designed to enhance its corporate governance, internal audit, risk management, accounting policies and procedures, and financial and regulatory reporting. The agreements call for independent third-party reviews, as well as the submission of written plans and progress reports by Management and remain in effect until terminated by the banking regulators.

Management has been working with its banking regulators over the past several months and has been taking actions and devoting significant resources to address all of the issues raised. Management believes that the changes it has already made, and is in the process of making, will address these issues fully and comprehensively. No assurances, however, can be provided as to the ultimate timing or outcome of these matters.

Note 5 — Pending Acquisition

On January 27, 2004, Huntington announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Unizan Financial Corp. (Unizan), a financial holding company based in Canton, Ohio. On November 12, 2004, Huntington and Unizan jointly announced they had entered into an amendment to their January 26, 2004 merger agreement extending the term of the agreement for one year from January 27, 2005 to January 27, 2006, and Huntington had withdrawn its application with the Federal Reserve to acquire Unizan. On March 1, 2005, Huntington announced that it intends to resubmit the application for regulatory approval of the merger once the regulatory written agreements have been terminated. No assurances, however, can be provided as to the ultimate timing or outcome of these matters.

Note 6 — Loan Sales and Securitizations

Automobile loans

Huntington sold $53.4 million and $500.9 million of automobile loans in the second quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, sales of automobile loans totaled $53.4 million and $1.4 billion, respectively. Pre-tax gains from the sales of automobile loans totaled $0.3 million and $4.8 million in second quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $0.3 million and $13.9 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

A servicing asset is established based on the relative fair values of both assets sold and retained at the time of the loan sale. The servicing asset is then amortized against servicing income. Impairment, if any, is recognized when carrying value exceeds the fair value as determined by calculating the present value of expected net future cash flows. The primary risk characteristic for measuring servicing assets is payoff rates of the underlying loan pools. Valuation calculations rely heavily on the predicted payoff assumption, and if actual payoff is quicker than expected, then future value would be impaired.

Changes in the carrying value of automobile loan servicing rights for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the fair value at the end of each period were as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
(in thousands of dollars)	2005			2004			2005			2004

Carrying value, beginning of period	$	17,046		$	23,913		$	20,286		$	17,662
New servicing assets		332			5,546			332			14,395
Amortization		(3,050	)		(3,537	)		(6,290	)		(6,135	)
Impairment charges		(66	)		—			(66	)		—

Carrying value, end of period	$	14,262		$	25,922		$	14,262		$	25,922



Fair value, end of period	$	14,842		$	26,797		$	14,842		$	26,797

Huntington has retained servicing responsibilities and receives annual servicing fees from 0.55% to 1.00% of the outstanding loan balances. Servicing income, net of amortization of capitalized servicing assets, amounted to $2.6 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, servicing income was $5.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively. There were no pre-tax gains from automobile loan securitization in 2005 or 2004.

Residential Mortgage Loans

No sales or securitizations of residential mortgage loans held for investment were made in the first half of 2005. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, Huntington sold $22.9 million and $43.7 million of residential mortgage loans held for investment, resulting in a net pre-tax gain of $0.3 million and $0.4 million respectively. Huntington also securitized $115.9 million of residential mortgage loans in the first quarter of 2004, and retained all of the resulting securities. Accordingly, the securitized amounts were reclassified from loans to investment securities.

A mortgage servicing right (MSR) is established only when the loans are sold or when servicing is contractually separated from the underlying mortgage loans by sale or securitization of the loans with servicing rights retained. The initial carrying value of the asset is established based on its fair value at the time of sale using assumptions that are consistent with assumptions used at the time to estimate the fair value of the total MSR portfolio. All servicing rights are subsequently carried at the lower of the initial carrying value, adjusted for amortization, or fair value, and are included in other assets.

Changes in the carrying value of mortgage servicing rights for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the fair value at the end of each period were as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
(in thousands of dollars)	2005			2004			2005			2004

Carrying value, beginning of period	$	80,972		$	60,379		$	77,107		$	71,087
New servicing assets		5,596			8,018			10,582			12,782
Amortization		(5,187	)		(4,046	)		(9,948	)		(9,397	)
Temporary impairment (charges) recovery		(10,231	)		14,880			(6,471	)		4,759
Sales		—			(64	)		(120	)		(64	)

Carrying value, end of period	$	71,150		$	79,167		$	71,150		$	79,167



Fair value, end of period	$	75,974		$	94,936		$	75,974		$	94,936

Servicing rights are evaluated quarterly for impairment based on the fair value of those rights, using a disaggregated approach. The fair value of the servicing rights is determined by estimating the present value of future net cash flows, taking into consideration market loan prepayment speeds, discount rates, servicing costs, and other economic factors. Temporary impairment is recognized in a valuation allowance against the mortgage servicing rights. Huntington also analyzes its mortgage servicing rights periodically for other-than-temporary impairment. Other-than-temporary impairment is recognized as a direct reduction of the carrying value of the mortgage servicing right and cannot be recovered. Servicing rights are amortized over the period of, and in proportion to, the estimated future net servicing revenue. Amortization is recorded as a reduction of servicing income, which is reflected in non-interest income in Huntington’s consolidated income statement.

Changes in the impairment allowance of mortgage servicing rights for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, were as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
(in thousands of dollars)	2005			2004			2005			2004

Balance, beginning of period	$	(1,015	)	$	(16,274	)	$	(4,775	)	$	(6,153	)

(1)		The average duration of total investment securities as of June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and June 30, 2004, was 3.0 years, 2.8 years, and 3.2 years, respectively.

Based upon its assessment, Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss at June 30, 2005, represents an other-than-temporary impairment. In addition, Huntington has both the intent and the ability to hold these securities for a time necessary to recover the amortized cost. There were no other-than-temporary impairments of any securities recognized in either of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

Note 8 — Other Comprehensive Income

The components of Huntington’s Other Comprehensive Income in the three and six months ended June 30 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Note 9 — Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is the amount of earnings for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period adjusted for the potential issuance of common shares upon the exercise of stock options. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for each of the three and six months ended June 30 is as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts)	2005		2004		2005		2004

Net Income	$	106,425	$	110,127	$	202,944	$	214,300

Average common shares outstanding		232,217		229,429		232,021		229,328
Dilutive potential common shares		3,454		3,230		3,341		3,459

Diluted Average Common Shares Outstanding		235,671		232,659		235,362		232,787


Earnings Per Share
Basic	$	0.46	$	0.48	$	0.87	$	0.93
Diluted		0.45		0.47		0.86		0.92

The average market price of Huntington’s common stock for the period was used in determining the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options. Common stock equivalents are computed based on the number of shares subject to stock options that have an exercise price less than the average market price of Huntington’s common stock for the period.

Options on approximately 2.6 million and 2.8 million shares were outstanding at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive. The weighted average exercise price for these options was $26.92 per share and $26.70 per share at the end of the same respective periods.

On January 7, 2005, Huntington released from escrow 86,118 shares of Huntington common stock to former shareholders of LeaseNet, Inc., which were previously issued in September 2002. A total of 373,896 common shares, previously held in escrow, was returned to Huntington. All shares in escrow had been accounted for as treasury stock.

Note 10 — Stock-Based Compensation

Huntington’s stock-based compensation plans are accounted for based on the intrinsic value method promulgated by APB Opinion 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Compensation expense for employee stock options is generally not recognized if the exercise price of the option equals or exceeds the fair value of the stock on the date of grant.

The following pro forma disclosures for net income and earnings per diluted common share is presented as if Huntington had applied the fair value method of accounting of Statement No. 123 in measuring compensation costs for stock options. The fair values of the stock options granted were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model assumes that the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the options’ vesting periods and the compensation costs would be included in personnel expense on the income statement. The following table also includes the weighted-average assumptions that were used in the option-pricing model for options granted in each of the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2005			2004			2005			2004

Note 11 — Benefit Plans

Huntington sponsors the Huntington Bancshares Retirement Plan (the Plan), a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees. The Plan provides benefits based upon length of service and compensation levels. The funding policy of Huntington is to contribute an annual amount that is at least equal to the minimum funding requirements but not more than that deductible under the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, Huntington has an unfunded, defined benefit post-retirement plan (Post-Retirement Benefit Plan) that provides certain healthcare and life insurance benefits to retired employees who have attained the age of 55 and have at least 10 years of vesting service under this plan. For any employee retiring on or after January 1, 1993, post-retirement healthcare benefits are based upon the employee’s number of months of service and are limited to the actual cost of coverage. Life insurance benefits are a percentage of the employee’s base salary at the time of retirement, with a maximum of $50,000 of coverage.

The following table shows the components of net periodic benefit expense:


	Pension Benefits						Post Retirement Benefits

There is no expected minimum contribution for 2005 to the Plan. Although not required, Huntington made a contribution to the Plan of $63.7 million in April 2005.

Huntington also sponsors other retirement plans, the most significant being the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Retirement Income Plan. These plans are nonqualified plans that provide certain former officers and directors of Huntington and its subsidiaries with defined pension benefits in excess of limits imposed by federal tax law.

Huntington has a defined contribution plan that is available to eligible employees. Matching contributions by Huntington equal 100% on the first 3%, then 50% on the next 2%, of participant elective deferrals. The cost of providing this plan was $2.4 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the respective six-month periods, the cost was $4.9 million and $4.7 million.

Note 12 — Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Commitments to extend credit:

In the ordinary course of business, Huntington makes various commitments to extend credit that are not reflected in the financial statements. The contract amount of these financial agreements at June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and June 30, 2004, were as follows:

937

Commercial letters of credit

132

Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates, are variable-rate, and contain clauses that permit Huntington to terminate or otherwise renegotiate the contracts in the event of a significant deterioration in the customer’s credit quality. These arrangements normally require the payment of a fee by the customer, the pricing of which is based on prevailing market conditions, credit quality, probability of funding, and other relevant factors. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the contract amounts are not necessarily indicative of future cash requirements. The interest rate risk arising from these financial instruments is insignificant as a result of their predominantly short-term, variable-rate nature.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Most of these arrangements mature within two years. The carrying amount of deferred revenue associated with these guarantees was $3.2 million, $4.1 million, and $3.2 million at June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and June 30, 2004, respectively.

Commercial letters of credit represent short-term, self-liquidating instruments that facilitate customer trade transactions and generally have maturities of no longer than 90 days. The merchandise or cargo being traded normally secures these instruments.

Commitments to sell loans:

Huntington enters into forward contracts relating to its mortgage banking business. At June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and June 30, 2004, Huntington had commitments to sell residential real estate loans of $534.3 million, $311.3 million, and $309.6 million, respectively. These contracts mature in less than one year.

During the second quarter, Huntington entered into a two-year agreement to sell a minimum of 50% of monthly automobile loan production, provided the production meets certain pricing, asset quality, and volume parameters. At June 30, 2005, approximately $75 million of automobile loans related to this commitment were classified as held for sale.

Litigation:

In the ordinary course of business, there are various legal proceedings pending against Huntington and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of Management, the aggregate liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on Huntington’s consolidated financial position.

Note 13 — Derivative Financial Instruments

A variety of derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate swaps, are used in asset and liability management activities to protect against the risk of adverse price or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets and liabilities and on future cash flows. These instruments provide flexibility in adjusting the Company’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates without exposure to loss of principal and higher funding requirements. By using derivatives to manage interest rate risk, the effect is a smaller, more efficient balance sheet, with a lower wholesale funding requirement and a higher net interest margin. All derivatives are reflected at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. Huntington also uses derivatives, principally loan sale commitments, in the hedging of its mortgage loan commitments and its mortgage loans held for sale.

Market risk, which is the possibility that economic value of net assets or net interest income will be adversely affected by changes in interest rates or other economic factors, is managed through the use of derivatives. Derivatives are also sold to meet customers’ financing needs and, like other financial instruments, contain an element of credit risk, which is the possibility that Huntington will incur a loss because a counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations. Notional values of interest rate swaps and other off-balance sheet financial instruments significantly exceed the credit risk associated with these instruments and represent contractual balances on which calculations of amounts to be exchanged are based. Credit exposure is limited to the sum of the aggregate fair value of positions that have become favorable to Huntington, including any accrued interest receivable due from counterparties. Potential credit losses are minimized through careful evaluation of counterparty credit standing, selection of counterparties from a limited group of high quality institutions, collateral agreements, and other contractual provisions.

Asset and Liability Management

Derivatives that are used in asset and liability management are classified as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges and are required to meet specific criteria. To qualify as a hedge, the hedge relationship is designated and formally documented at inception, detailing the particular risk management objective and strategy for the hedge. This includes identifying the item and risk being hedged, the derivative being used, and how the effectiveness of the hedge is being assessed. A derivative must be highly effective in accomplishing the objective of offsetting either changes in fair value or cash flows for the risk being hedged. Correlation is evaluated on a retrospective and prospective basis using quantitative measures. If a hedge relationship is found to be ineffective, the derivative may no longer qualify as a hedge. Any excess gains or losses attributable to ineffectiveness are recognized in other income.

For fair value hedges, deposits, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt are effectively converted to variable-rate obligations by entering into interest rate swap contracts whereby fixed-rate interest is received in exchange for variable-rate interest without the exchange of the contract’s underlying notional amount. Forward contracts, used primarily in connection with its mortgage banking activities, settle in cash at a specified future date based on the differential between agreed interest rates applied to a notional amount. The changes in fair value of the hedged item and the hedging instrument are reflected in current earnings.

For cash flow hedges, interest rate swap contracts are entered into that pay fixed-rate interest in exchange for the receipt of variable-rate interest without the exchange of the contract’s underlying notional amount, which effectively converts a portion of its floating-rate debt to fixed-rate. This reduces the potentially adverse impact of increases in interest rates on future interest expense. In like fashion, certain LIBOR-based commercial and industrial loans are effectively converted to fixed-rate by entering into contracts that swap variable-rate interest for fixed-rate interest over the life of the contracts.

To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the derivatives’ fair value will not be included in current earnings but are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. These changes in fair value will be included in earnings of future periods when earnings are also affected by the changes in the hedged cash flows. To the extent these derivatives are not effective, changes in their fair values are immediately included in earnings.

Derivatives used to manage Huntington’s interest rate risk at June 30, 2005, are shown in the table below:


			Average					Weighted-Average

Total Swap Portfolio	$	4,492,000		3.6	$	25,294			3.77	%		3.29	%

N/A, not applicable

These values must be viewed in the context of the overall financial structure of Huntington, including the aggregate net position of all on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments.

As is the case with cash securities, the fair value of interest rate swaps is largely a function of the financial market’s expectations regarding the future direction of interest rates. Accordingly, current market values are not necessarily indicative of the future impact of the swaps on net interest income. This will depend, in large part, on the shape of the yield curve as well as interest rate levels. Management made no assumptions regarding future changes in interest rates with respect to the variable-rate information presented in the table above.

The next table represents the gross notional value of derivatives used to manage interest rate risk at June 30, 2005, identified by the underlying interest rate-sensitive instruments. The notional amounts shown in the tables above and below should be viewed in the context of overall interest rate risk management activities to assess the impact on the net interest margin.

Collateral agreements are regularly entered into as part of the underlying derivative agreements with Huntington’s counterparties to mitigate the credit risk associated with both the derivatives used for asset and liability management and used in trading activities. At June 30, 2005 and 2004, aggregate credit risk associated with these derivatives, net of collateral that has been pledged by the counterparty, was $26.5 million and $23.3 million, respectively. The credit risk associated with interest rate swaps is calculated after considering master netting agreements.

These derivative financial instruments were entered into for the purpose of altering the interest rate risk embedded in Huntington’s assets and liabilities. Consequently, net amounts receivable or payable on contracts hedging either interest earning assets or interest bearing liabilities were accrued as an adjustment to either interest income or interest expense. The

net amount resulted in an increase to net interest income of $6.9 million, and $5.1 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2005, and 2004, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the impact to net interest income was an increase of $14.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

Derivatives Used in Mortgage Banking Activities

Huntington also uses derivatives, principally loan sale commitments, in the hedging of its mortgage loan commitments and its mortgage loans held for sale. For derivatives that are used in hedging mortgage loans held for sale, ineffective hedge gains and losses are reflected in mortgage banking revenue in the income statement. Mortgage loan commitments are derivatives that are not included in FAS 133 relationships. These derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value reflected in mortgage banking revenue. The following is a summary of the derivative assets and liabilities that Huntington used in its mortgage banking activities as of June 30, 2005 and 2004:


	At June 30,
(in thousands of dollars)	2005			2004

Derivatives Used in Trading Activities

Various derivative financial instruments are offered to enable customers to meet their financing and investing objectives and for their risk management purposes. Derivative financial instruments used in trading activities during the first six months of 2005 and 2004 consisted predominantly of interest rate swaps, but also included interest rate caps, floors, and futures, as well as foreign exchange options. Interest rate options grant the option holder the right to buy or sell an underlying financial instrument for a predetermined price before the contract expires. Interest rate futures are commitments to either purchase or sell a financial instrument at a future date for a specified price or yield and may be settled in cash or through delivery of the underlying financial instrument. Interest rate caps and floors are option-based contracts that entitle the buyer to receive cash payments based on the difference between a designated reference rate and a strike price, applied to a notional amount. Written options, primarily caps, expose Huntington to market risk but not credit risk. Purchased options contain both credit and market risk. They are used to manage fluctuating interest rates as exposure to loss from interest rate contracts changes.

Supplying these derivatives to customers results in fee income. These instruments are carried at fair value in other assets with gains and losses reflected in other non-interest income. Total trading revenue for customer accommodation was $2.0 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, total trading revenue was $3.7 million and $4.8 million respectively. The total notional value of derivative financial instruments used by Huntington on behalf of customers (for which the related interest rate risk is offset by third parties) was $4.5 billion and $4.7 billion at June 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively. Huntington’s credit risk from interest rate swaps used for trading purposes was $49.7 million and $59.9 million at the same dates.

In connection with its securitization activities, interest rate caps were purchased with a notional value totaling $1 billion. These purchased caps were assigned to the securitization trust for the benefit of the security holders. Interest rate caps were also sold totaling $1 billion outside the securitization structure. Both the purchased and sold caps are marked to market through income in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Note 14 — Shareholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program:

Effective April 27, 2004, the board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program (the 2004 Repurchase Program) which cancelled the 2003 Repurchase Program and authorized Management to repurchase not more than 7,500,000 shares of Huntington common stock. On June 9, 2005, Huntington reactivated its share repurchase program upon settlement of the SEC formal investigation. During the second quarter, Huntington repurchased 1,818,000 shares under the 2004 Repurchase Program. Huntington expects to repurchase the remaining authorized shares from time-to-time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions depending on market conditions.

Rights Agreement:

Holders of Huntington common stock are entitled to certain rights as set forth in a Rights Agreement dated as of February 22, 1990, amended August 16, 1995, and as it may be amended from time to time (the “Rights Agreement), between Huntington and The Huntington National Bank, successor to The Huntington Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent. These rights are evidenced by the certificates representing shares of Huntington common stock, each of which bears a legend referencing the rights. The Rights Agreement expires on August 16, 2005. Huntington’s directors have not taken any action to extend the term of the Rights Agreement or to redeem the rights. Upon expiration of the Rights Agreement, the legend on Huntington common stock certificates referencing the rights will have no force or effect.

Pending expiration of the Rights Agreement, each share of Huntington common stock would have one associated preferred share purchase right. Generally, if a person acquires or announces a tender offer to acquire 10% or more of Huntington’s outstanding common stock, each right will become exercisable and entitle its holder to purchase 1/100 share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the economic equivalent of one share of Huntington’s common stock) for $49.68. This exercise price is subject to further adjustment for stock dividends and splits. Once the acquiring person acquires 10% or more of Huntington’s outstanding common stock, each right held by such acquiring person will become null and void and each right held by all other holders will entitle such holders to purchase the number of Huntington’s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock having a value equal to twice the exercise price. In addition, if Huntington is acquired in a merger or other business combination or a significant portion of Huntington’s assets are sold or transferred, each holder will be entitled to purchase shares of the acquiring company that have a market value of twice the exercise price or twice the book value, if the acquiring company’s shares are not publicly traded. A copy of the Rights Agreement has been filed with the SEC.

Note 15 — Segment Reporting

Huntington has three distinct lines of business: Regional Banking, Dealer Sales, and the Private Financial and Capital Markets Group (PFCMG). A fourth segment includes the Company’s Treasury function and other unallocated assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense. Lines of business results are determined based upon the Company’s management reporting system, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the business segments. The process is designed around Huntington’s organizational and management structure and, accordingly, the results below are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions. During the second quarter of 2005, the Capital Markets Group was removed from the Treasury / Other segment and combined with the Private Financial Group to form the Private Financial and Capital Markets Group segment. Since the Capital Markets Group is now managed through the Private Financial Group, combining these two segments better reflects the management accountability and decision-making structure. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this change in methodology. An overview of this system is provided below, along with a description of each segment and discussion of financial results.

The following provides a brief description of the four operating segments of Huntington:

Regional Banking:This segment provides products and services to consumer, small business, and commercial customers. These products and services are offered in seven operating regions within the five states of Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Indiana, and Kentucky through the Company’s banking network of 336 branches, over 800 ATMs, plus Internet and telephone banking channels. Each region is further divided into Retail and Commercial Banking units. Retail products and services include home equity loans and lines of credit, first mortgage loans, direct installment loans, small business loans, personal and business deposit products, as well as sales of investment and insurance services. Retail Banking accounts for approximately 60% and 80% of total Regional Banking loans and deposits, respectively. Commercial Banking serves middle market and large commercial banking relationships, which use a variety of banking products and services including, but not limited to, commercial loans, international trade, cash management, leasing, interest rate protection products, capital market alternatives, 401(k) plans, and mezzanine investment capabilities.

Dealer Sales:This segment serves more than 3,500 automotive dealerships within Huntington’s primary banking markets, as well as in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. The segment finances the purchase of automobiles by customers of the automotive dealerships, purchases automobiles from dealers and simultaneously leases the automobiles to consumers under long-term operating or direct finance leases, finances the dealership’s floor plan inventories, real estate, or working capital needs, and provides other banking services to the automotive dealerships and their owners.

Private Financial and Capital Markets Group:The Private Financial segment provides products and services designed to meet the needs of the Company’s higher net worth customers with revenue derived through trust, asset management, investment advisory, brokerage, insurance, and private banking products and services. The Capital Markets segment focuses on financial solutions for corporate and institutional customers including investment banking, sales and trading of securities, mezzanine capital financing, and risk management products.

Treasury / Other:This segment includes revenue and expense related to assets, liabilities, and equity that are not directly assigned or allocated to one of the other three business segments. Assets included in this segment include investment securities and bank owned life insurance.

Use of Operating Earnings to Measure Segment Performance

Management uses earnings on an operating basis, rather than on a GAAP basis, to measure underlying performance trends for each business segment and to determine the success of strategies and future earnings capabilities. Operating earnings represent GAAP earnings adjusted to exclude the impact of the significant items listed in the reconciliation table below. For the three months and six months ending June 30, 2005, operating earnings were the same as reported GAAP earnings.

Listed below is certain operating basis financial information reconciled to Huntington’s second quarter and year-to-date 2005 and 2004 reported results by line of business.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

INTRODUCTION

Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington or the Company) is a multi-state diversified financial holding company organized under Maryland law in 1966 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Through its subsidiaries, Huntington is engaged in providing full-service commercial and consumer banking services, mortgage banking services, automobile financing, equipment leasing, investment management, trust services, and discount brokerage services, as well as reinsuring credit life and disability insurance, and selling other insurance and financial products and services. Huntington’s banking offices are located in Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Indiana, and Kentucky. Selected financial services are also conducted in other states including Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. Huntington has a foreign office in the Cayman Islands and a foreign office in Hong Kong. The Huntington National Bank (the Bank), organized in 1866, is Huntington’s only bank subsidiary.

The following discussion and analysis provides investors and others with information that Management believes to be necessary for an understanding of Huntington’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes, and other information contained in this report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements about Huntington. These include descriptions of products or services, plans or objectives of Management for future operations, including pending acquisitions, and forecasts of revenues, earnings, cash flows, or other measures of economic performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.

By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual conditions, events, or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, those set forth below and under the heading “Business Risks” included in Item 1 of Huntington’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (2004 Form 10-K), and other factors described in this report and from time-to-time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management encourages readers of this report to understand forward-looking statements to be strategic objectives rather than absolute forecasts of future performance. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Huntington assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Risk Factors

Huntington, like other financial companies, is subject to a number of risks, many of which are outside of Management’s control. Management strives to mitigate those risks while optimizing returns. Among the risks assumed are: (1)credit risk, which is the risk that loan and lease customers or other counter parties will be unable to perform their contractual obligations, (2)market risk, which is the risk that changes in market rates and prices will adversely affect Huntington’s financial condition or results of operations, (3)liquidity risk, which is the risk that Huntington and / or the Bank will have insufficient cash or access to cash to meet operating needs, and (4)operational risk, which is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, or systems, or external events. The description of Huntington’s business contained in Item 1 of its 2004 Form 10-K, while not all-inclusive, discusses a number of business risks that, in addition to the other information in this report, readers should carefully consider.

SEC Formal Investigation

In the administrative proceeding, the Commission charged that in its 2001 and 2002 fiscal years Huntington violated Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) and Sections 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A) and (B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), and Exchange Act Rules 12b-20 and 13a-1; that Hoaglin violated Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 and caused Huntington’s violations of Securities Act Section 17(a)(2) and Exchange Act Sections 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A) and (B), and Exchange Act Rules 12b-20 and 13a-1 with respect to fiscal year 2002; that McMennamin and Van Fleet violated Securities Act Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3), Exchange Act Section 13(b)(5) and Exchange Act Rule 13b2-1, and caused Huntington’s violations of Exchange Act Sections 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A) and (B) and Exchange Act Rules 12b-20 and 13a-1 in fiscal years 2001 and 2002; and that McMennamin directly violated Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 in 2002. Without admitting or denying the charges in the administrative proceeding, Huntington and the individuals each agreed to cease and desist from committing and/or causing the violations charged as well as any future violations of these provisions. Additionally, Hoaglin, McMennamin, and Van Fleet agreed to pay disgorgement, pre-judgment interest, and penalties in the amounts of $667,609, $415,215, and $51,660, respectively. Van Fleet consented to a suspension from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant for two years pursuant to Rule 102(e) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice. McMennamin consented to an undertaking that he will not act as an officer or director of a public company for five years.

Formal Regulatory Supervisory Agreements and Pending Acquisition

Management has been working with its banking regulators over the past several months and has been taking actions and devoting significant resources to address all of the issues raised. Management believes that the changes that it has already made, and is in the process of making, will address these issues fully and comprehensively.

No assurances, however, can be provided as to the ultimate timing or outcome of these matters.

SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Earnings comparisons from the first quarter of 2004 through the second quarter of 2005 were impacted by a number of factors, some related to changes in the economic and competitive environment, while others reflected specific Management strategies or changes in accounting practices. Understanding the nature and implications of these factors on financial results is important in understanding the company’s income statement, balance sheet, and credit quality trends and the comparison of the current quarter and year-to-date performance with comparable prior-year periods. The key factors impacting the current reporting period comparisons are more fully described in the Significant Factors Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons section, which follows the summary of results below.

2005 Second Quarter versus 2004 Second Quarter

Net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $106.4 million, or $0.45 per common share, down 3% and 4%, respectively, from $110.1 million and $0.47 per common share in the year-ago quarter. This $3.7 million decrease in net income primarily reflected:

	•		$62.0 million, or 28%, decline in non-interest income, due primarily to a $40.6 million decline in operating lease income, as that portfolio continued to run-off, and a $25.7 million decline in mortgage banking income, reflecting a $10.2 million temporary impairment of mortgage servicing rights (MSR) in the current quarter compared with a $14.9 million recovery of MSR temporary impairment in the year-ago quarter. Other factors influencing the decline in non-interest income between quarters included lower gains from the sale of automobile loans, a decline in service charges on deposit accounts, as well as other service charges and fees, which were partially offset by higher securities gains, and trust services income.

	•		$7.8 million increase in the provision for credit losses as the year-ago quarter included a $9.7 million one-time commercial loan recovery.

Partially offset by:

	•		$34.0 million, or 12%, decline in non-interest expense, reflecting a $33.7 million decline in operating lease expenses.

	•		$19.3 million, or 9%, increase in net interest income reflecting a 6% increase in average earning assets and an effective 2% increase in the net interest margin. The increase in average earnings assets reflected 13% growth in average total loans and leases, including 15% growth in average consumer loans and 10% growth in average total commercial loans, partially offset by a 24% decline in average investment securities.

	•		$12.8 million decline in income tax expense as the effective tax rate in the 2005 second quarter was 22.3%, down from 28.3% in the year-ago quarter. The 2005 tax expense includes the benefit of a federal tax loss carry back and lower income before income taxes.

The return on average assets (ROA) and return on average equity (ROE) in the 2005 second quarter were 1.31% and 16.3%, respectively, down from 1.41% and 19.1%, respectively, in the year-ago quarter. Period end capital was strong with a June 30, 2005, tangible equity to assets ratio of 7.36%, up from 6.95% at the end of the year-ago period.

2005 Second Quarter versus 2005 First Quarter

Compared with 2005 first quarter net income of $96.5 million, or $0.41 per common share, 2005 second quarter net income and earnings per share increased 10%. This $9.9 million, or $0.04 per common share, increase in net income primarily reflected:

	•		$10.1 million, or 4%, decline in non-interest expense, reflecting a $9.1 million decline in operating lease expenses, as well as lower net occupancy expense.

	•		$7.0 million decline in provision for credit losses, reflecting a decline in net charge-offs and improvement in credit quality.

	•		$6.7 million, or 3%, increase in net interest income primarily reflecting the benefit of an effective 2% increase in the net interest margin, as average earnings assets were little changed. A 3% increase in average loans and leases was mostly offset by an 8% decline in average investment securities. The growth in average total loans and leases

included 2% growth in average consumer loans and 3% growth in average total commercial loans.

Partially offset by:

	•		$11.9 million decline in non-interest income, primarily reflecting a $14.4 million decline in mortgage banking income, as the current quarter included a $10.2 million MSR temporary impairment compared with a $3.8 million recovery of MSR temporary impairment in the prior quarter, and an $8.6 million decline in operating lease income. These declines were partially offset by a $7.6 million increase in other income, reflecting higher MSR hedge-related trading gains partially offset by the current period write-off of an equity investment, and a $2.1 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

	•		$2.0 million increase in income tax expense due to higher pre-tax income.

The ROA and ROE in the 2005 first quarter were 1.20% and 15.5%, respectively, with a tangible equity to assets ratio of 7.42% at March 31, 2005.

2005 First Six Months versus 2004 First Six Months

Net income for the first six months of 2005 was $202.9 million, or $0.86 per common share, down 5% and 7%, respectively, from $214.3 million, or $0.92 per common share, in the comparable year-ago period. This $11.4 million decrease in net income primarily reflected:

	•		$121.5 million, or 27%, decline in non-interest income, due primarily to a $82.7 million decline in operating lease income, as that portfolio continued to run-off, a $13.6 million decline in gains from the sale of automobile loans, a $9.3 million decline in mortgage banking income, reflecting a $6.5 million MSR temporary impairment in the current six-month period compared with a $4.8 million recovery of MSR temporary impairment in the year-ago period. Other factors influencing the decline in non-interest income between six-month periods was a decline in other income, mostly due to non-recurring items, lower securities gains, and a decline in service charges on deposit accounts, which were partially offset by higher trust services and other service charges and fee income.

	•		$2.1 million increase in the provision for credit losses, reflecting a growth in the loan portfolio.

Partially offset by:

	•		$61.3 million, or 11%, decline in non-interest expense, reflecting a $66.4 million decline in operating lease expenses.

	•		$31.9 million, or 7%, increase in net interest income reflecting a 7% increase in average earning assets as the net interest margin improved only slightly. The increase in average earning assets reflected 12% growth in average total loans and leases, including 14% growth in average consumer loans and 9% growth in average total commercial loans, partially offset by a 20% decline in average investment securities.

	•		$19.1 million decline in income tax expense as the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2005 was 22.6%, down from 26.8% in the year-ago period.

The ROA and ROE for the 2005 first six months were 1.26% and 15.9%, respectively, down from 1.39% and 18.7%, respectively, in the year-ago period.

Significant Factors Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons

Automobile leases originated through April 2002 are accounted for as operating leases. Automobile leases originated before May 2002 are accounted for using the operating lease method of accounting because they do not qualify as direct financing leases. Operating leases are carried in other assets with the related rental income, other revenue, and credit recoveries reflected as operating lease income, a component of non-interest income. Under this accounting method, depreciation expenses, as well as other costs and charge-offs, are reflected as operating lease expense, a component of non-interest expense. With no new operating leases originated since April 2002, the operating lease assets have declined rapidly. It is anticipated that the level of operating lease assets and related operating lease income and expense will decline to a point of diminished materiality sometime in 2006. However, until that point is reached, and since operating lease income and expense represented a significant percentage of total non-interest income and expense, respectively, throughout these reporting periods, their downward trend influenced total non-interest income and non-interest expense trends.

In contrast, automobile leases originated since April 2002 are accounted for as direct financing leases, an interest-bearing asset included in total loans and leases with the related income reflected as interest income and included in the calculation of the net interest margin. Credit charge-offs and recoveries are reflected in the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL), with related changes in the ALLL reflected in the provision for credit losses. The relative newness and rapid growth of the direct financing lease portfolio has resulted in higher reported automobile lease growth rates than in a more mature portfolio. To better understand overall trends in automobile lease exposure, it is helpful to compare trends in the combined total of direct financing leases plus operating leases (see the Company’s 2004 Form 10-K for additional discussion).

Generally recovering economic environment throughout this period. This has been reflected in improving demand for loans, including middle market commercial and industrial (C&I) loans, most notably beginning in the second half of 2004, as well as contributing to good growth in other consumer portfolios. This recovering trend has also been a contributing factor to generally improving credit quality performance throughout this period.

Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) and related hedging. Interest rate levels throughout this period have remained low by historical standards. Though generally increasing throughout this period, they have also been volatile, with increases in one period followed by declines in another and vice versa. This has impacted the valuation of MSRs, which are volatile when rates change.

•

Since the second quarter of 2002, the Company generally has retained the servicing on mortgage loans it originates and sells. MSR values are very sensitive to movements in interest rates as expected future net servicing income depends on the projected outstanding principal balances of the underlying loans, which can be greatly reduced by prepayments. Prepayments usually increase when mortgage interest rates decline and decrease when mortgage interest rates rise. Thus, as interest rates decline, less future income is expected and the value of MSRs declines and becomes impaired when the valuation is less than the recorded book value. The Company recognizes temporary impairment due to change in interest rates through a valuation reserve and records a direct write-down of the book value of its MSRs for other-than-temporary declines in valuation. Changes and fluctuations in interest rate levels between quarters resulted in some quarters reporting an MSR temporary impairment, with others reporting a recovery of previously reported MSR temporary impairment. Such swings in MSR valuations have significantly impacted quarterly mortgage banking income and quarterly trends throughout this period.

•

The Company uses gains or losses on investment securities, and beginning in 2004, gains or losses and net interest income on trading account assets, to offset MSR temporary valuation changes. Valuation of trading and investment securities generally reacts to interest rate changes in an opposite direction compared with MSR valuations. As a result, changes in interest rate levels that impacted MSR valuations also resulted in securities or trading gains or losses. As such, in quarters where an MSR temporary

impairment is recognized, investment securities and/or trading account assets are sold resulting in a gain on sale, and vice versa. Investment securities gains or losses are reflected in the income statement in a single non-interest income line item, whereas trading gains or losses are a component of other non-interest income on the income statement. The earnings impact of the MSR valuation change, and the combination of securities and/or trading gains/losses may not exactly offset due to, among other factors, the difference in the magnitude and/or timing of when the MSR valuation is determined and recorded, compared with when the securities are sold and any gain or loss is recorded(see Table 3).

	4.		The sale of automobile loans. A key strategy over this time period was to lower the credit exposure to automobile loans and leases to 20% or less of total credit exposure, primarily by selling automobile loans. This objective was realized during the 2005 first quarter. These sales of higher-rate, higher-risk loans impact results in a number of ways including: lower growth rates in automobile, total consumer, and total loans; the generation of gains reflected in non-interest income; and lower net interest income and margin than otherwise would be the case if the loans were not sold(see Table 3).

	5.		Significant C&I and CRE charge-offs and recoveries. A single commercial credit recovery in the 2004 second quarter on a loan previously charged off in the 2002 fourth quarter favorably impacted the 2004 second quarter provision expense(see Table 14), as well as middle-market commercial and industrial, total commercial, and total net charge-offs for the quarter(see Table 15).In addition, in the 2005 first quarter, a single large commercial credit was charged-off. This impacted 2005 first quarter total net charge-offs and provision expense(see Tables 3, 14, and 15)

	6.		Expenses and accruals associated with the SEC formal investigation and banking regulatory formal written agreements. On June 26, 2003, Huntington announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission staff was conducting a formal investigation into certain financial accounting matters relating to fiscal years 2002 and earlier and certain related disclosure matters. In addition, on March 1, 2005, Huntington announced that it had entered into a formal written agreement with the FRBC and that the Bank had entered into a formal written agreement with the OCC, providing for a comprehensive action plan designed to enhance its corporate governance, internal audit, risk management, accounting policies and procedures, and financial and regulatory reporting. These matters resulted in certain expenses and accruals as detailed below:


2004				2005

First quarter	$	0.7	million	First quarter	$	2.0	million
Second quarter		0.9		Second quarter		1.7

First six months		1.6	million	First six months	$	3.7	million

Third quarter		5.5
Fourth quarter		6.5

Full year	$	13.6	million

Other significant non-run rate items. The 2005 second quarter results included $3.6 million of severance and other expenses associated with the consolidation of certain operations functions, including the closing of an item-processing center in Michigan, which influences comparisons with both the year-ago quarter, as well as prior quarter. These expenses included $2.0 million in severance-related personnel costs, $0.8 million in net occupancy, $0.5 million in equipment expense, and $0.3 million in other expense.

The 2005 second quarter results also included a $2.1 million write-off of an equity investment.

Effective tax rate. The 2005 first and second quarter effective tax rate included the after-tax positive impact on net income due to a federal tax loss carry back, tax exempt income, bank owned life insurance, asset securitization activities, and general business credits from investment in low income housing and historic property partnerships. The lower effective tax rate is expected to impact each quarter of 2005. In 2006, the effective tax rate is anticipated to increase to a more typical rate slightly below 30%.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Factors 1, 2 and 4.)

2005 Second Quarter versus 2004 Second Quarter

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $19.4 million, or 9%, from the year-ago quarter, reflecting the favorable impact of a $1.7 billion, or 6%, increase in average earning assets, and a 7 basis point, or an effective 2%, increase in the net interest margin. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin increased to 3.36% from 3.29% in the year-ago quarter. The increase in the net interest margin from the year-ago quarter reflected a shift from lower-yielding investments to higher-yielding loans as a result of decreasing the level of excess liquidity, redirecting part of the proceeds of securities sales to fund loan growth, and higher yields on mezzanine-related loans. In addition, the margin also benefited from the increase of the impact of non-interest bearing funds.

Average total loans and leases increased $2.7 billion, or 12%, from the 2004 second quarter, reflecting growth in consumer loans, and to a lesser degree, growth in commercial loans. Total average consumer loans increased $1.7 billion, or 15%, from the year-ago quarter primarily due to a $1.1 billion, or 37%, increase in average residential mortgages as mortgage loan rates remained near historically low levels. Average home equity loans increased $0.5 billion, or 13%.

Average total automobile loans decreased $0.3 billion, or 11%, from the year-ago quarter reflecting the sale of automobile loans over this 12-month period as part of a strategy of reducing automobile loan and lease exposure as a percent of total credit exposure. Partially offsetting the decline in automobile loans was growth in direct financing leases due to the continued migration from operating lease assets, which have not been originated since April 2002. Average direct financing leases increased $0.3 billion, or 15%, from the year-ago quarter. Total automobile loan and lease production was 22% below the year-ago quarter, reflecting continued aggressive competition in this sector.

Average total commercial loans increased $1.0 billion, or 10%, from the year-ago quarter. This increase reflected a $0.4 billion, or 12%, increase in middle market commercial real estate (CRE) loans, a $0.3 billion, or 8%, increase in middle market commercial and industrial (C&I) loans, and a $0.2 billion, or 11%, increase in average small business C&I and CRE loans.

Average total investment securities declined $1.3 billion, or 24%, from the year-ago quarter. This decline reflected a combination of factors including lowering the level of excess liquidity, a decision to sell selected lower yielding securities, and partially funding loan growth with the proceeds from the sale of securities.

Average total core deposits in the 2005 second quarter were $17.0 billion, up $0.7 billion, or 5%, from the year-ago quarter, reflecting a $0.5 billion, or 7%, increase in average interest bearing demand deposit accounts, primarily money market accounts, a $0.3 billion, or 13%, increase in retail certificates of deposit, and a $0.1 billion, or 4%, increase in non-interest bearing deposits. These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 billion, or 6%, decline in savings and other domestic time deposits.

Tables 3 and 4 reflect quarterly average balance sheets and rates earned and paid on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

2005 Second Quarter versus 2005 First Quarter

Compared with the 2005 first quarter, fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $6.8 million, or 3%, reflecting a 5 basis point, or an effective 2%, increase in the net interest margin to 3.36% from 3.31% in the 2005 first quarter, and a slight increase in average earning assets. The increase in the net interest margin from the first quarter reflected the reduction in excess liquidity positions, a mix change in earning assets from investment securities to loans, and higher yields on mezzanine-related loans.

Average total loans and leases increased $0.6 billion, or 3%, from the 2005 first quarter with growth in average commercial loans and consumer loans contributing equally to the increase.

Total average commercial loans increased $0.3 billion, or 3%, from the first quarter primarily due to a $0.2 billion, or 4%, increase in average C&I loans. Average CRE loans increased 2%. As expected, this was a bit slower than in the prior quarter. The growth in C&I and CRE loans was more weighted toward loans to new, rather than existing customers. For commercial loans of $1 million or more made during the quarter, 61% represented loans to new borrowers with the dollar amount of growth led by the Central Ohio, Southern Ohio/Kentucky, Indiana, and East Michigan regions. On the same basis, those regions contributing most to the dollar amount of loan growth to existing customers were Northeast Ohio, Central Ohio, West Michigan, and East Michigan. Growth in average small business C&I and CRE loans was also 2% and was comparable to the growth rate in the 2005 first quarter.

Compared with the 2005 first quarter, average total consumer loans increased $0.3 billion, or 2%, reflecting a $0.2 billion, or 4%, increase in residential mortgages and a $0.1 billion, or 1%, increase in average home equity loans. Growth rates in residential mortgages and home equity loans remained strong, though they have slowed in each of the last two linked quarters. Average home equity loans increased $0.5 billion, or 13%, though annualized linked-quarter growth rates for the first two quarters of 2005 have been at rates roughly half that, at 6% and 7%, for the first and second quarters, respectively. Average automobile loans and leases increased $0.1 billion, or 2%, due to growth in automobile loans and, to a much lesser degree, growth in direct financing leases. This growth was in spite of a 2% decline in total automobile loan and lease production from the 2005 first quarter.

Average investment securities declined $0.3 billion, or 8%, from the 2005 first quarter reflecting a combination of factors including the release of excess liquidity, the lack of attractive investment options due to the current flat yield curve environment, and a strategy of partially funding strong loan growth with proceeds from investment securities sales.

Compared with the 2005 first quarter, average total core deposits declined slightly. Average interest bearing demand deposit accounts declined $0.2 billion, or 3%, from the prior quarter, which was mostly offset by a $0.2 billion, or 9%, increase in retail certificates of deposits. The decline in interest bearing demand deposits reflected aggressive money market deposit rate pricing, especially for commercial accounts, compared with lower relative pricing for national market brokered deposits. Therefore, commercial money market accounts declined in favor of growth in national market brokered deposits. Reflecting these factors, average total commercial core deposits declined 3% from the first quarter, with average brokered deposits and negotiable certificates of deposit increasing. Consumer core deposits pricing also reflected the impact of aggressive rate competition. Nevertheless, average total consumer core deposits increased slightly from the first quarter, reflecting growth in households, as well as consumer certificates of deposits commensurate with consumer preference for higher fixed-rate deposits.

2005 First Six Months versus 2004 First Six Months

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $31.7 million, or 7%, from the year-ago quarter, reflecting the favorable impact of a $1.9 billion, or 7%, increase in average earning assets, and a 2 basis point increase in the net interest margin. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin increased to 3.34% from 3.32% in the year-ago period. The increase in the net interest margin from the year-ago period reflected a shift from lower-yielding investments to higher-yielding loans as a result of decreasing the level of excess liquidity and redirecting part of the proceeds of securities sales to fund loan growth. In addition, the margin also benefited from the increase of the impact of non-interest bearing funds. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of a flattening yield curve.

Average total loans and leases increased $2.5 billion, or 12%, from the 2004 first six month period, reflecting growth in consumer loans, and to a lesser degree, growth in commercial loans. Total average consumer loans increased $1.6 billion, or 14%, from the year-ago period primarily due to a $1.2 billion, or 41%, increase in average residential mortgages as mortgage loan rates remained near historically low levels. Average home equity loans increased $0.6 billion, or 16%.

Average total automobile loans decreased $0.3 billion, or 5%, from the year-ago period reflecting the sale of automobile loans. Partially offsetting the decline in automobile loans was growth in direct financing leases due to the continued migration from operating lease assets, which have not been originated since April 2002. Average direct financing leases increased $0.4 billion, or 19%, from the year-ago period.

Average total commercial loans increased $0.9 billion, or 9%, from the year-ago six-month period. This reflected a $0.4 billion, or 12%, increase in middle market commercial real estate (CRE) loans, a $0.3 billion, or 7%, increase in middle market commercial and industrial (C&I) loans, and a $0.2 billion, or 11%, increase in average small business C&I and CRE loans.

Average total investment securities declined $1.0 billion, or 19%, from the first six months of 2004. This decline reflected a combination of factors including lowering the level of excess liquidity, a decision to sell selected lower yielding securities, and partially funding loan growth with the proceeds from the sale of securities.

Average total core deposits in the 2005 first six-month period were $17.0 billion, up $1.2 billion, or 7%, from the comparable year-ago period, reflecting a $0.9 billion, or 13%, increase in average interest bearing demand deposit accounts, primarily money market accounts, a $0.2 billion, or 9%, increase in retail certificates of deposit, and a $0.2 billion, or 7%, increase in non-interest bearing deposits. These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 billion, or 5%, decline in savings and other domestic time deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Factors 2 and 5 and the Credit Risk section.)

The provision for credit losses combines the provision for loan and lease losses with the provision for losses on unfunded loan commitments. The provision for loan and lease losses is the expense necessary to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) at a level adequate to absorb Management’s estimate of probable credit losses in the loan and lease portfolio. The provision for losses on unfunded loan commitments is the expense necessary to maintain the allowance for unfunded loan commitments (AULC) at a level adequate to absorb Management’s estimate of probable credit losses in the portfolio of unfunded loan commitments.

The provision for credit losses in the 2005 second quarter was $12.9 million, a $7.9 million increase from the year-ago quarter, but a $7.0 million decrease from the 2005 first quarter. The increase in provision expense from the year-ago quarter reflected the benefit in the year-ago quarter of a $9.7 million commercial loan recovery. The decline in provision expense from the 2005 first quarter primarily reflected the positive impact of the overall credit quality and improved economic environment.

The provision for credit losses for the first six-months of 2005 was $32.8 million, a $2.1 million, or 7%, increase from the comparable year-ago period.

Non-Interest Income

2005 Second Quarter versus 2004 Second Quarter

Non-interest income decreased $62.0 million, or 28%, from the year-ago quarter with $40.6 million of the decline reflecting the run-off of the operating lease portfolio. Of the remaining $21.3 million decline from the year-ago quarter, the primary drivers were:

	•		$25.7 million decline in mortgage banking income, reflecting a $10.2 million MSR temporary impairment in the current quarter compared with a $14.9 million recovery of MSR temporary impairment in the year-ago quarter.

	•		$4.6 million decline in gains on sale of automobile loans as the year-ago period included $4.9 million of such gains.

	•		$2.1 million, or 5%, decline in service charges on deposit accounts with declines in commercial and consumer service charges contributing equally to the decrease. Lower commercial service charges reflected a combination of lower activity and a preference by commercial customers to pay for services with higher compensating balances rather than fees as interest rates increase. The decline in consumer service charges primarily reflected lower personal NSF and overdraft service charges.

	•		$1.2 million decline in bank owned life insurance income.

Partially offset by:

	•		$8.9 million decline in securities losses as the current quarter securities losses were less than such losses in the year-ago quarter. Specifically, the current quarter reflected $0.3 million of net securities losses resulting from sales to strengthen the quality of the investment portfolio and lengthen its duration. These sales resulted in total losses of $6.0 million and gains of $5.7 million. The gains were also taken to mitigate the net impact of the MSR impairment. The year-ago quarter reflected $9.2 million of MSR-related securities losses.

	•		$2.4 million, or 14%, increase in trust services due to higher personal trust and mutual fund fees reflecting a combination of higher market value of assets, as well as increased activity.

2005 Second Quarter versus 2005 First Quarter

Compared with the 2005 first quarter, non-interest income decreased $11.9 million, or 7%, with $8.6 million of the decline reflecting the run-off of the operating lease portfolio. Of the remaining $3.2 million decline from the 2005 first quarter, the primary drivers were:

	•		$14.4 million decline in mortgage banking income reflecting a $10.2 million MSR temporary impairment in the current quarter compared with $3.8 million recovery of MSR temporary impairment in the prior quarter. Though originations increased 17% from the first quarter, this was more than offset by lower net marketing income reflecting lower gains on sold loans.

	•		$1.3 million decline in securities gains as the current quarter reflected net securities losses of $0.3 million compared with $1.0 million of gains in the 2005 first quarter.

Partially offset by:

	•		$7.6 million increase in other income reflecting the positive benefit of $5.7 million of MSR hedge-related trading gains in the current quarter compared with $4.2 million of MSR hedge-related trading losses in the first quarter and modest hedge fund gains compared with losses in the prior quarter, partially offset by the current quarter negative impact of a $2.1 million write-off of an equity investment, as well as lower miscellaneous gains and safe deposit fee income.

	•		$2.1 million, or 5%, increase in service charges on deposit accounts reflecting higher personal NSF and overdraft service charges.

	•		$1.1 million, or 11%, increase in other service charges and fees reflecting higher check card-related income.

	•		$0.9 million, or 5%, increase in trust services income reflected a combination of factors including (1) higher personal trust and mutual fund fees due to a combination of the higher market value of assets and increased activity, (2) increased corporate trust income, and (3) client additions. The current quarter represented the seventh consecutive quarterly increase in trust income.

•

$0.5 million, or 4%, increase in brokerage and insurance income reflecting growth in insurance agency income and sales of new automobile equity protection insurance, partially offset by a decline in investment product revenue, most notably mutual fund fees and brokerage commissions.

2005 First Six Months versus 2004 First Six Months

Non-interest income decreased $121.5 million, or 27%, from the year-ago six-month period with $82.7 million of the decline reflecting the run-off of the operating lease portfolio. Of the remaining $38.8 million decline from the year-ago period, the primary drivers were:

	•		$13.6 million decline in gains on sale of automobile loans as the year-ago period included $13.9 million of such gains.

	•		$9.3 million decline in mortgage banking income, reflecting a $6.5 million MSR temporary impairment in the current six-month period compared with a $4.8 million recovery of MSR temporary impairment in the year-ago period.

	•		$7.9 million, or 16%, decline in other income reflected a combination of factors including MSR hedge-related trading losses in the current period compared with gains in the year-ago period, the $2.1 million write-off of an equity investment in the 2005 second quarter, lower investment banking income, and lower equity investment gains.

	•		$5.2 million decline in securities gains reflecting $5.9 million of gains in the year-ago period taken to mitigate the net impact of the MSR impairment.

	•		$4.5 million, or 5%, decline in service charges on deposit accounts with declines in commercial and consumer service charges contributing equally to the decrease. Lower commercial service charges reflected a combination of lower activity and a preference by commercial customers to pay for services with higher compensating balances rather than fees as interest rates increase. The decline in consumer service charges primarily reflected lower personal NSF and overdraft service charges.

	•		$2.2 million, or 7%, decline in brokerage and insurance income reflecting lower annuity sales.

	•		$1.6 million decline in bank owned life insurance income.

Partially offset by:

•

$4.3 million, or 13%, increase in trust services due to higher personal trust and mutual fund fees reflecting a combination of higher market value of assets, as well as increased activity.

2005 Second Quarter versus 2004 Second Quarter

Non-interest expense decreased $34.0 million, or 12%, from the year-ago quarter with $33.7 million of the decline reflecting the run-off of the operating lease portfolio. Of the remaining $0.3 million decline from the year-ago quarter, the primary drivers were:

•

$6.9 million, or 27%, decline in other expense as the year-ago quarter included $5.8 million of costs related to investments in partnerships generating tax benefits, as well as lower operational losses.

Partially offset by:

	•		$4.4 million, or 4%, increase in personnel costs reflecting $2.0 million of current period severance-related costs as well as higher salaries.

	•		$1.5 million, or 19%, increase in professional services expense as the current quarter included $1.7 million of regulatory-related expenses.

	•		$1.0 million, or 6%, increase in net occupancy expense primarily reflecting the negative impact of expenses associated with the consolidation of certain operations functions (see discussion below) and lower rental income, partially offset by lower maintenance costs.

2005 Second Quarter versus 2005 First Quarter

Compared with the 2005 first quarter, non-interest expense decreased $10.1 million with $9.1 million reflecting the run-off of the operating lease portfolio. Of the remaining $1.1 million decrease from the prior quarter, the primary drivers were:

	•		$2.0 million, or 10%, decrease in net occupancy reflecting a combination of positive factors including seasonally lower facility-related costs, higher rental income, partially offset by expenses associated with the consolidation of certain operations functions in the current period.

	•		$0.7 million, or 4%, decline in outside data processing and other services. Partially offset by:

	•		$1.0 million, or 15%, increase in marketing expense.

2005 First Six Months versus 2004 First Six Months

Non-interest expense decreased $61.4 million, or 11%, from the year-ago six-month period all attributable to a $66.4 million decline in operating lease expense reflecting the run-off of the operating lease portfolio. This impact was partially offset by a net $5.1 million increase in expense with the primary drivers being:

	•		$6.7 million, or 3%, increase in personnel costs reflecting an $11.0 million increase in salaries, including $2.0 million of 2005 second quarter severance costs, partially offset by lower sales commission and benefits expenses.

	•		$3.7 million, or 24%, increase in professional services expense as the current period included $3.7 million of SEC and regulatory-related expenses.

	•		$3.5 million, or 11%, increase in net occupancy expense primarily reflecting a loss caused by a refinancing penalty of a real estate partnership minority interest, as well as lower rental income.

Partially offset by:

	•		$6.9 million, or 16%, decline in other expense as the year-ago period included $5.8 million of costs related to investments in partnerships generating tax benefits, in addition to lower insurance costs and operational losses.

	•		$2.0 million decline in marketing expenses.

⁽¹⁾		As a percent of average operating lease assets, quarterly amounts annualized.

2005 Second Quarter versus 2004 Second Quarter and 2005 First Quarter

Average operating lease assets in the 2005 second quarter were $0.4 billion, down $0.6 billion, or 58%, from the year-ago quarter and 23% from the 2005 first quarter.(For a discussion of operating lease accounting, residual value loss determination, and related residual value insurance, see the Operating Lease Assets section of the Company’s 2004 Form 10-K.)

Operating lease income, which totaled $38.1 million in the 2005 second quarter, represented 24% of total non-interest income in the quarter. Operating lease income was down $40.6 million, or 52%, from the year-ago quarter and $8.6 million, or 18%, from the 2005 first quarter, reflecting the declines in average operating leases. As no new operating leases have been originated after April 2002, the operating lease asset balances will continue to decline through both depreciation and lease terminations. Net rental income was down 52% and 21%, respectively, from the year-ago and 2005 first quarter.

Fees declined 63% from the year-ago quarter, and 5% from the first quarter. Recoveries from early terminations increased 20% from the year-ago quarter and 33% from the first quarter.

Operating lease expense totaled $28.9 million, down $33.7 million, or 54%, from the year-ago quarter and down $9.1 million, or 24%, from the 2005 first quarter. These declines also reflected the fact that this portfolio is decreasing over time. Losses on early terminations, which are included in total operating lease expense, declined 55% from the year-ago quarter and 29% from the first quarter.

2005 First Six Months versus 2004 First Six Months

Average operating lease assets in the first six-month period of 2005 were $0.5 billion, down $0.6 billion, or 56% from the comparable year-ago period.

Operating lease income, which totaled $84.8 million for the first six months of 2005, represented 26% of total non-interest income, and was down $82.7 million, or 49%, from the comparable year-ago period. Net rental income was down $77.8 million, or 50%. Fees declined $4.8 million, or 57%, from the comparable year-ago period. Recoveries from early terminations were little changed from the year-ago period. Operating lease expense totaled $66.8 million, down $66.4 million, or 50%, from the comparable year-ago period. The declines in operating lease income and operating lease expense reflected the fact that this portfolio is decreasing over time.

Provision for Income Taxes

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Factor 8.)

The provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2005 was $30.6 million and represented an effective tax rate on income before taxes of 22.3%. The provision for income taxes decreased $12.8 million from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to a reduction in pre-tax earnings, as well as the recognition of the effect of federal tax refunds on income tax expense. These federal tax refunds resulted from the ability to carry back federal tax losses to prior years. The effective tax rates in the year-ago quarter and first quarter of 2005 were 28.3% and 22.8%, respectively. For the first six months of 2005, provision for income taxes was $59.2 million and represented an effective tax rate on income before taxes of 22.6%. The provision for income taxes decreased $19.1 million from the same period in 2004, in which the effective tax rate was 26.8%, reflecting higher pre-tax income in the first six months of 2004 and the recognition of the effect of federal tax refunds on income tax expense in the first six months of 2005.

Pursuant to APB 28, taxes for the full year are estimated and year-to-date accrual adjustments are made. Revisions to the full-year estimate of accrued taxes occur periodically due to changes in the tax rates, audit resolution with taxing authorities, and newly enacted statutory, judicial, and regulatory guidance. These changes, when they occur, affect accrued taxes and can result in fluctuations in the quarterly effective tax rate. Management reviews the appropriate tax treatment of all transactions taking into consideration statutory, judicial, and regulatory guidance in the context of Huntington’s tax positions. In addition, Management relies on various tax opinions, recent tax audits, and historical experience.

In accordance with FAS 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, no deferred income taxes are to be recorded when a company intends to reinvest permanently the earnings from a foreign activity. In accordance with FASB Staff Position No. 109-2,Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Act of 2004, at June 30, 2005, the range of possible amounts that Huntington is considering for repatriation in 2005 is between zero and $105.5 million. The related potential range of income tax is between zero and $5.5 million.

During the first quarter of 2005, the Internal Revenue Service commenced the audit of Huntington’s consolidated federal income tax returns for tax years 2002 and 2003.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company operates in various taxing jurisdictions and is subject to income tax. The effective tax rate is based in part on Management’s interpretation of the relevant current laws. Management believes the aggregate liabilities related to taxes are appropriately reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 included the after-tax positive impact on net income due to the federal tax loss carry back, tax-exempt income, bank owned life insurance, asset securitization activities, and general business credits from investment in low income housing and historic property partnerships. The lower

effective tax rate is expected to impact each quarter in 2005. In 2006, the effective tax rate is anticipated to increase to a more typical rate, slightly below 30%.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in a borrower’s ability to meet its financial obligations under agreed upon terms. The Company is subject to credit risk in lending, trading, and investment activities. The nature and degree of credit risk is a function of the types of transactions, the structure of those transactions, and the parties involved. The majority of the Company’s credit risk is associated with lending activities, as the acceptance and management of credit risk is central to profitable lending. Credit risk is incidental to trading activities and represents a limited portion of the total risks associated with the investment portfolio. Credit risk is mitigated through a combination of credit policies and processes and portfolio diversification. These include origination/underwriting criteria, portfolio monitoring processes, and effective problem asset management(see Credit Risk Management section of the Company’s 2004 Form 10-K for additional discussion).

Credit Exposure Composition

Compared with the year-ago period, the composition of the loan and lease portfolio at June 30, 2005, had changed such that lower credit risk home equity loans and residential mortgages combined represented 36% of total credit exposure, up from 33% a year earlier. Conversely, higher risk automobile exposure, which consists of automobile loans and leases, as well as operating lease assets, declined from 22% to 19% at June 30, 2005.

Table 11 reflects period-end loan and lease portfolio mix by type of loan or lease, as well as by business segment:

⁽¹⁾		Beginning September 30, 2004, the Company adopted a policy, consistent with its policy for residential mortgage loans, of placing home equity loans and lines on non-accrual status when they become greater than 180 days past due. In prior quarters, these balances were included in “Accruing loans and leases past due 90 days or more.”

⁽²⁾		At December 31, 2004, other real estate owned included $35.7 million of properties that related to the work-out of $5.9 million of mezzanine loans. These properties were subject to $29.8 million of non-recourse debt to another financial institution. Both properties were sold in the first quarter of 2005.

NPAs were $97.4 million at June 30, 2005, and represented 0.40% of related assets, up $22.7 million from $74.7 million, or 0.34%, at the end of the year-ago quarter and up $24.1 million from $73.3 million, or 0.30%, at March 31, 2005. The increase from the prior quarter was impacted, in part, by credits associated with the domestic automobile supplier sector.

Non-performing loans and leases (NPLs), which exclude other real estate owned (OREO), were $83.9 million at June 30, 2005, up $22.1 million from the year-earlier period and $24.0 million from the end of the first quarter. Expressed as a percent of total loans and leases, NPLs were 0.34% at June 30, 2005, up from 0.28% a year earlier and from 0.25% at March 31, 2005.

The over 90-day delinquent, but still accruing, ratio was 0.22% at June 30, 2005, down from 0.24% at the end of the year-ago quarter, and little changed from 0.21% at March 31, 2005.

Allowances for Credit Losses (ACL) and Provision for Credit Losses

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Factor 1, 2, 4-5, and the Credit Risk section.)

The Company maintains two reserves, both of which are available to absorb probable credit losses: the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) and the allowance for unfunded loan commitments (AULC). When summed together, these reserves constitute the total allowances for credit losses (ACL). Table 14 reflects activity in the ALLL and AULC for the past five quarters:

At June 30, 2005, ALLL was $254.8 million, down from $286.9 million a year earlier and $264.4 million at March 31, 2005. Expressed as a percent of period-end loans and leases, the ALLL ratio at June 30, 2005, was 1.04%, down from 1.32% a year ago reflecting the improvement in economic indicators, the change in the mix of the loan portfolio to lower-risk residential mortgages and home equity loans, and the reduction of specific reserves related to improved or resolved individual problem commercial credits. The decline from 1.09% at March 31, 2005, reflected a 4 basis point decrease in the transaction reserve component; 3 basis points related to the transfer of $6.3 million from the economic reserve component of the ALLL to the AULC due to a refinement in methodology; a 2 basis point decline in the economic reserve component as economic indicators strengthened; and a 4 basis point increase in the specific reserve component consistent with the current quarter’s increase in NPLs. The table below shows the change in the ALLL ratio and each reserve component from the 2004 second quarter and 2005 first quarter.

2005 Second Quarter versus 2004 Second Quarter and 2005 First Quarter

Total net charge-offs for the 2005 second quarter were $16.3 million, or an annualized 0.27% of average total loans and leases. This was up from $12.5 million, or 0.23%, in the year-ago quarter, which included a $9.7 million one-time recovery on a previously charged-off commercial loan, but represented a decrease from $28.3 million, or an annualized 0.47%, of average total loans and leases in the 2005 first quarter. The prior quarter included a single $14.2 million middle market commercial charge-off related to a commercial leasing company with significant exposure to a service provider that declared bankruptcy. The 0.47% net charge-off ratio for average total loans and leases in the 2005 first quarter included 24 basis points related to this single credit.

Total commercial net charge-offs in the second quarter were $5.6 million, or an annualized 0.21%, up from $0.1 million, or an annualized 0.01%, in the year-ago quarter as that quarter included the $9.7 million one-time recovery. Current period total commercial net charge-offs were down from $16.2 million, or an annualized 0.62%, in the prior quarter. As noted above, the 2005 first quarter included a $14.2 million middle market commercial charge-off, which represented 54 basis points of the 0.62% total commercial net charge-off ratio.

Total consumer net charge-offs in the current quarter were $10.7 million, or an annualized 0.31% of related loans. This compared with $12.4 million, or 0.41%, in the year-ago quarter with the decline from the year-ago quarter primarily reflecting lower automobile loan and lease net charge-offs partially offset by higher home equity net charge-offs. Total automobile loan and lease net charge-offs in the 2005 second quarter were $3.8 million, or an annualized 0.33% of related loans and leases, down significantly from $7.8 million, or an annualized 0.69%, in the year-ago quarter. Home equity net charge-offs in the current quarter were $5.1 million, or an annualized 0.44% of related loans, up from $2.6 million, or 0.25%, in the year-ago quarter. Compared with the 2005 first quarter, total consumer net charge-offs decreased $1.4 million, primarily reflecting a $2.4 million decrease automobile loan and lease net charge-offs, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in home equity loan net charge-offs.

2005 First Six Months versus 2004 First Six Months

Total net charge-offs for the first six months of 2005 were $44.5 million, or an annualized 0.37% of average total loans and leases. While the dollar amount of net charge-offs increased 8% from the comparable year-ago period, on a relative basis, net charge-offs declined slightly from the annualized 0.38% ratio a year ago.

Total commercial net charge-offs in the first six-month period of 2005 were $21.8 million, or an annualized 0.41%, up from $7.7 million, or 0.16%, in the year-ago period, which included a $9.7 million one-time recovery on a previously charged-off loan.

Total consumer net charge-offs in the current six-month period were $22.8 million, or an annualized 0.34% of related loans, down from $33.4 million, or 0.56%, in the comparable year-ago period. The decline from the year-ago period primarily reflected lower automobile loan and lease net charge-offs partially offset by higher home equity net charge-offs. Total automobile loan and lease net charge-offs in the 2005 six-month period were $10.0 million, or an annualized 0.44% of related loans and leases, down 59% from $24.3 million, or 1.02%, in the year-ago six-month period. Home equity net charge-offs in the current six-month period were $9.0 million, or an annualized 0.39% of related loans, up from $5.5 million, or 0.28%, in the year-ago period.

MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of loss due to changes in the market values of assets and liabilities, as well as the risk of decreases in the Company’s net income due to changes in interest rates. The Company incurs market risk in the normal course of business. Market risk arises when the Company extends fixed-rate loans, purchases fixed-rate securities, originates fixed-rate CDs, obtains funding through fixed-rate borrowings, and leases automobiles and equipment based on expected lease residual values. The Company has identified three primary sources of market risk: interest rate risk, lease residual risk, and price risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk incurred by the Company. It results from timing differences in the repricing and maturity of assets and liabilities and from changes in relationships between market interest rates and the yields on assets and rates on liabilities, including the impact of embedded options.

Management seeks to minimize the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the fair values of assets and liabilities. The board of directors establishes broad policies regarding interest rate, market, and liquidity risk. The Market Risk Committee (MRC) establishes specific operating guidelines within the parameters of the board of directors’ policies.

Interest rate risk management is a dynamic process that encompasses monitoring loan and deposit flows and investment and funding activities, and assessing the impact of the changing market and business environment. Effective management of interest rate risk begins with understanding the interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities and determining the appropriate interest rate risk posture given market expectations and policy objectives and constraints. The MRC regularly monitors position concentrations and the level of interest rate risk to ensure compliance with risk tolerances approved by the board of directors.

Interest rate risk modeling is performed monthly. Two broad approaches to modeling interest rate risk are employed: income simulation and economic value analysis. An income simulation analysis is used to measure the sensitivity of forecasted net interest income to changes in market rates over a one-year horizon. Although bank owned life insurance and automobile operating lease assets are classified as non-interest earning assets, and the income from these assets is in non-interest income, these portfolios are included in the interest rate sensitivity analysis because both have attributes similar to fixed-rate interest earning assets. The economic value analysis (Economic Value of Equity or EVE) is calculated by subjecting the period-end balance sheet to changes in interest rates and measuring the impact of the changes in the value of the assets and liabilities.

The models used for these measurements take into account prepayment speeds on mortgage loans, mortgage and asset-backed securities, and consumer installment loans, as well as cash flows of other loans and deposits. Balance sheet growth assumptions are also considered in the income simulation model. The models include the effects of embedded options, such as interest rate caps, floors, and call options, and account for changes in relationships among interest rates.

The baseline scenario for the income simulation, with which all other scenarios are compared, is based on forward market interest rates implied by the prevailing yield curve as of the period end. Alternative interest rate scenarios are then compared with the baseline scenario. These alternative market rate scenarios include parallel rate shifts on both a gradual and immediate basis, movements in rates that alter the shape of the yield curve (i.e., flatter or steeper yield curve), and spot rates remaining unchanged for the entire measurement period. Scenarios are also developed to measure basis risk, such as the impact of LIBOR-based rates rising or falling faster than the prime rate.

The simulations for evaluating short-term interest rate risk exposure are scenarios that model gradual 100 and 200 basis point increasing and decreasing parallel shifts in interest rates over the next 12-month period beyond the interest rate change implied by the current yield curve. The table below shows the results of the scenarios as of June 30, 2005, March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004. All of the positions were well within the board of directors’ policy limits.

Lease Residual Risk

(This section should be read in conjunction with the Operating Lease Assets section.)

Lease residual risk associated with retail automobile and commercial equipment leases is the potential for declines in the fair market value of the vehicle or equipment below the maturity value estimated at origination. Most of Huntington’s lease residual risk is in its automobile leases. Used car values are the primary factor in determining the magnitude of the risk exposure. Since used car values are subject to many factors, lease residual risk has been extremely volatile throughout the history of automobile leasing. Management mitigates lease residual risk by purchasing residual value insurance. Residual value insurance provides for the recovery of a decline in the vehicle residual value as specified by the Automotive Lease Guide (ALG), an authoritative industry source, at the inception of the lease. As a result, the risk associated with market driven declines in used car values is mitigated.

As of June 30, 2005, three distinct residual value insurance policies were in place to address the residual risk in the portfolio. Two residual value insurance policies cover all vehicles leased prior to May 2002, and have associated total payment caps of $120 million and $50 million, respectively. During the 2004 third quarter, the $120 million cap was exceeded on the first policy. Any losses above the cap result in additional operating lease depreciation expense. It is Management’s assessment that the $50 million cap remains sufficient to cover any expected losses. A third residual insurance policy covers all originations from May 2002 through June 2005, and does not have a cap. A fourth policy, similar in structure to the referenced third policy, went into effect July 1, 2005, and covers all originations for a period of one year.

Price Risk

Price risk is risk to earnings or capital arising from changes in the value of financial instruments subject to mark-to –market adjustments. This risk arises from market-making, dealing, and position taking in interest-rate, foreign exchange, and equity markets as well as loans held for sale and loan servicing assets. To manage price risk, Management establishes limits as to the amount of trading securities that can be purchased, the foreign exchange exposure that can be maintained, and the maximum loss positions within a quarter.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the current and prospective risk to earnings or capital arising from a bank’s inability to meet its obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses. Liquidity risk also arises from the failure to recognize or address changes in market conditions that affect the ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimal loss in value. The objective of effective liquidity management is to ensure that cash flow needs can be met on a timely basis at a reasonable cost under both normal operating conditions and unforeseen circumstances. The liquidity of the Bank is used to originate loans and leases and to repay deposit and other liabilities as they become due or are demanded by customers.(See Liquidity section in the Company’s 2004Form 10-K for additional discussion.)

The primary source of funding is core deposits from retail and commercial customers(see Table 18).As of June 30, 2005, core deposits totaled $17.3 billion, and represented 77% of total deposits. This compared with $16.5 billion, or 85% of total deposits, a year earlier. Most of the growth in core deposits was attributable to growth in interest bearing demand deposits and retail certificates of deposit.

Credit ratings by the three major credit rating agencies are an important component of the Company’s liquidity profile. Among other factors, the credit ratings are based on financial strength, credit quality and concentrations in the loan portfolio, the level and volatility of earnings, capital adequacy, the quality of management, the liquidity of the balance sheet, the availability of a significant base of core retail and commercial deposits, and the Company’s ability to access a broad array of wholesale funding sources. Adverse changes in these factors could result in a negative change in credit ratings and impact not only the ability to raise funds in the capital markets, but also the cost of these funds. In addition, certain financial on- and off-balance sheet arrangements contain credit rating triggers that could increase funding needs if a negative rating change occurs. Letter of credit commitments for marketable securities, interest rate swap collateral agreements, and certain asset securitization transactions contain credit rating provisions.

On April 6, 2005, Standard and Poor’s announced the following rating actions:

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various off-balance sheet arrangements. These arrangements include financial guarantees contained in standby letters of credit issued by the Bank and commitments by the Bank to sell mortgage loans.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Most of these arrangements mature within two years. Approximately 46% of standby letters of credit are collateralized and most are expected to expire without being drawn upon. There were $968 million, $945 million, and $962 million of outstanding standby letters of credit at June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and

June 30, 2004, respectively. The carrying amount of deferred revenue related to standby letters of credit at June 30, 2005, was $3.2 million. Standby letters of credit are included in the determination of the amount of risk-based capital that the Company and the Bank are required to hold.

The Bank enters into forward contracts relating to its mortgage banking business. At June 30, 2005, commitments to sell residential real estate loans totaled $534.3 million. These contracts mature in less than one year.

The parent company and/or the Bank may also have liabilities under certain contractual agreements contingent upon the occurrence of certain events. A discussion of significant contractual arrangements under which the parent company and/or the Bank may be held contingently liable, including guarantee arrangements, is included in Note 12 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Through its credit process, Management monitors the credit risks of outstanding standby letters of credit. When it is probable that a standby letter of credit will be drawn and not repaid in full, losses are recognized in provision for credit losses. Management does not believe that its off-balance sheet arrangements will have a material impact on its liquidity or capital resources.

CAPITAL

Capital is managed both at the parent and the Bank levels. Capital levels are maintained based on regulatory capital requirements and the economic capital required to support credit, market, and operation risks inherent in the Company’s business and to provide the flexibility needed for future growth and new business opportunities. Management places significant emphasis on the maintenance of a strong capital position, which promotes investor confidence, provides access to the national markets under favorable terms, and enhances business growth and acquisition opportunities. The importance of managing capital is also recognized and Management continually strives to maintain an appropriate balance between capital adequacy and providing attractive returns to shareholders.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $2.6 billion at June 30, 2005. This balance represented a $93 million increase from December 31, 2004. The growth in shareholders’ equity resulted from the retention of net income after dividends to shareholders of $106.7 million, and an increase of $20.4 million as a result of stock options exercised, partially offset by $44.2 million reflecting the impact of shares repurchased and by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $10.2 million. The improvement in accumulated other comprehensive income resulted from an increase in the market value of securities available for sale at June 30, 2005, compared with December 31, 2004.

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had unused authority to repurchase up to 5.7 million common shares under an April 27, 2004, share repurchase authorization of 7.5 million common shares. During the 2005 second quarter, the Company repurchased 1.8 million common shares having a total value of $44.1 million. The Company expects to repurchase the remaining shares from time-to-time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions depending on market conditions.

On April 27, 2005, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.215 per common share, a 7.5% increase from the prior quarter. The dividend was payable July 1, 2005, to shareholders of record on June 16, 2005. On July 19, 2005, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.215 per common share payable October 3, 2005, to shareholders of record on September 16, 2005.

Average equity to average assets in the 2005 second quarter was 8.03%, up from 7.42% in the year ago quarter, and up from 7.76% for the 2005 first quarter(see Table 20.)At June 30, 2005, the tangible equity to assets ratio was 7.36%, up from 6.95% a year ago, but down from 7.42% at March 31, 2005. At June 30, 2005, the tangible equity to risk-weighted assets ratio was 8.05%, up from 7.64% at the end of the year-ago quarter, and from 7.84% at March 31, 2005. The increases in these ratios primarily reflect the positive impact of earnings growth, with the improvement in the risk-weighted ratio also reflecting the reduced overall risk profile of earning assets, most notably a less risky loan portfolio mix.

The Federal Reserve Board, which supervises and regulates the Company, sets minimum capital requirements for each of these regulatory capital ratios. In the calculation of these risk-based capital ratios, risk weightings are assigned to certain asset and off-balance sheet items such as interest rate swaps, loan commitments, and securitizations. Huntington’s Tier 1 Risk-based Capital, Total Risk-based Capital, Tier 1 Leverage ratios, and risk-adjusted assets for the recent five quarters are well in excess of minimum levels established for “well capitalized” institutions of 6.00%, 10.00%, and 5.00%, respectively. At March 31, 2005, the Company had regulatory capital ratios in excess of “well capitalized” regulatory minimums.

The Bank is primarily supervised and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which establishes regulatory capital guidelines for banks similar to those established for bank holding companies by the Federal Reserve Board. At June 30, 2005, the Bank had regulatory capital ratios in excess of “well capitalized” regulatory minimums.

LINES OF BUSINESS DISCUSSION

This section reviews financial performance from a line of business perspective and should be read in conjunction with the Discussion of Results and other sections for a full understanding of the Company’s consolidated financial performance.

Huntington has three distinct lines of business: Regional Banking, Dealer Sales, and the Private Financial and Capital Markets Group. A fourth segment includes the Company’s Treasury function and other unallocated assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense. Lines of business results are determined based upon the Company’s management reporting system, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the business segments. The process is designed around Huntington’s organizational and management structure and, accordingly, the results below are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions. During the second quarter of 2005, the Capital Markets Group was removed from the Treasury / Other segment and combined with the Private Financial Group to form the Private Financial and Capital Markets Group segment. Since the Capital Markets Group is now managed through the Private Financial Group, combining these two segments better reflects the management accountability and decision making structure. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this change in methodology. An overview of this system is provided below, along with a description of each segment and discussion of financial results.

Funds Transfer Pricing

The Company uses a centralized funds transfer pricing (FTP) methodology to attribute appropriate net interest income to the business segments. The Treasury/Other business segment charges (credits) an internal cost of funds for assets held in (or pays for funding provided by) each line of business. The FTP rate is based on prevailing market interest rates for comparable duration assets (or liabilities). The intent of the FTP methodology is to eliminate all interest rate risk from the lines of business by providing matched duration funding of assets and liabilities. The result is to centralize the financial impact of interest rate and liquidity risk for the Company in Treasury/Other.

The FTP methodology also provides for a charge (credit) to the line of business when a fixed-rate loan is sold and the internal funding associated with the loan is extinguished. The charge (credit) to the line of business represents the cost (or benefit) to Treasury/Other of the early extinguishment of the internal fixed-rate funding.

Use of Operating Earnings

Management uses earnings on an operating basis, rather than on a GAAP basis, to measure underlying performance trends for each business segment. Operating earnings represent GAAP earnings adjusted to exclude the impact of certain items discussed in the Significant Factors Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons section and Table 3. (In addition to this discussion, see Note 15 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.) Analyzing earnings on an operating basis is very helpful in assessing underlying performance trends, a critical factor used by Management to determine the success of strategies and future earnings capabilities.

Regional Banking

Regional Banking provides products and services to consumer, small business, and commercial customers. These products and services are offered in seven operating regions within the five states of Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Indiana, and Kentucky through the Company’s banking network of 336 branches, over 800 ATMs, plus internet and telephone banking. Each region is further divided into Retail and Commercial Banking units. Retail products and services include home equity loans and lines of credit, first mortgage loans, direct installment loans, business loans, personal and business deposit products, as well as sales of investment and insurance services. Retail products and services comprise 60% and 80%, of total regional banking loans and deposits, respectively. Commercial banking serves middle-market and large commercial banking relationships, which use a variety of banking products and services including, but not limited to, commercial loans, international trade, cash management, leasing, interest rate protection products, capital market alternatives, 401(k) plans, and mezzanine investment capabilities.

2005 First Six Months versus 2004 First Six Months

Regional Banking contributed $134.9 million of the Company’s net operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2005, up $16.5 million, or 14%, from the comparable year-ago period. This improvement primarily reflected a $52.2 million, or 11%, increase in fully taxable equivalent revenue, partially offset by a $22.7 million increase in provision for credit losses. Expenses remained well controlled, increasing a modest 1%.

The $52.2 million increase in fully taxable equivalent revenue from the year-ago period was driven by a $58.5 million, or 18%, increase in fully taxable net interest income, as non-interest income declined $6.3 million, or 4%. Growth in net interest income resulted mainly from an 18% increase in average loan balances, but also benefited from a 4 basis point expansion in the net interest margin to 4.44%. The increase in the net interest margin partially resulted from a lower cost of funds reflecting a 10% increase in average deposits.

The growth in average total loans and leases reflected strong growth in all regions:


	YTD Average Loans		Percent
(in millions of dollars)	Six months ended June 30, 2005		Increase
Region
Central Ohio	$	66,454		27	%
Northern Ohio		2,894		9
Southern Ohio/Kentucky		2,017		18
West Michigan		2,332		8
East Michigan		1,462		11
Indiana		1,001		31
West Virginia		893		11

Total	$	17,053		18	%

Growth in average loans from the year-ago period was also spread across different types of loans, including residential mortgages, home equity loans and lines of credit, and commercial loans. Residential mortgage loans grew, as interest rates remained low, even though there was a 24% decline in closed loan origination volume from the first six-month period of 2004. Home equity loans and lines of credit also grew across all regions. The home equity line of credit is a primary focus of cross-selling efforts. Commercial loan growth reflected a 29% increase in average commercial real estate construction loans, and an 11% increase in small business loans.

Growth in average total deposits was also broad-based:


	YTD Average Deposits		Percent
(in millions of dollars)	Six months ended June 30, 2005		Increase
Region
Central Ohio	$	4,700		9	%
Northern Ohio		4,008		12
Southern Ohio/Kentucky		1,757		18
West Michigan		2,661		3
East Michigan		2,284		12
Indiana		711		11
West Virginia		1,377		5

Total	$	17,498		10	%

The 10% increase in average total deposits reflected strong growth in average interest bearing demand deposits and domestic time deposits. Interest bearing demand deposits increased 15% from the first six months of 2004, with domestic time deposits increasing 14%. Non-interest bearing deposits grew 7% from the year-ago period, while savings deposits decreased 3%.

Growth in loans and deposits reflected improved sales efforts and success. In retail banking, the 90-day cross-sell ratio improved 27% over the prior year, and the small business cross-sell ratio increased 14%. In addition, customer bases continued to expand. Period end retail banking demand deposit (DDA) households were 15,132, or 3%, higher than a year earlier, with the number of small business DDA relationships up 4,064, or 8%. The DDA is viewed as the primary banking relationship account as most additional services are cross-sold to customers after first establishing a DDA account. Loan and deposit growth also reflected continued focus on customer service and delivery channel optimization. During the year, five banking offices were opened while four were closed. The number of on-line banking customers at June 30, 2005 was nearly 230,000, a 24% increase, and represented a relatively high 43% penetration of retail banking households.

The $22.7 million increase in provision for credit losses was heavily influenced by significant commercial loan net charge-off activity in both the current and year-ago six-month periods. Specifically, the first six months of 2005 included a $14.2 commercial loan net charge-off, whereas in contrast, the comparable year-ago period included a $9.7 million recovery of a previously charged-off commercial loan. Reflecting these items, total net charge-offs for the first six months of 2005 were $32.1 million, or an annualized 0.38% of average total loans and leases, up from $13.4 million, or 0.19%, in the year-ago period. Consumer net charge-offs in the first half of 2005 were $12.0 million, or 0.30%, up $3.4 million, or 3 basis points from the comparable year-ago period. The increase in consumer net charge-offs was attributable to higher net charge-offs on home equity loans and lines of credit, which had $8.9 million, or 0.42%, of net charge-offs in the first half of 2005, up $3.6 million, or 13 basis points. Total NPA’s increased 48% to $90 million at June 30, 2005, with most of this increase occurring in the 2005 second quarter reflecting, among other factors, softness in the domestic auto supplier sector.

Non-interest income decreased $6.3 million, or 4%, compared to the first half of 2004. The decline was driven by lower mortgage banking income and lower deposit service charges. Mortgage loan originations decreased 24% from the prior year.

Non-interest expense increased $4.2 million, or 1%, compared to the first half of 2004. Personnel costs increased $2.0 million, or 2%, reflecting higher incentive and benefit costs, as salaries declined reflecting a 5% decrease in period end full-time equivalent employees. Other costs, excluding operating lease expense, were flat to the prior-year period. The efficiency ratio improved to 57% from 62% in the first half of 2004, due to strong fully taxable revenue growth and a continued focus on expense management.

The ROA for Regional Banking was 1.50%, down from 1.52% in the first half of 2004 with a ROE of 27.3%, up from 23.5% in the comparable year-ago period.

Dealer Sales

(See Significant Factors 1, 4 and the Operating Lease Asset Section.)

Dealer Sales serves more than 3,500 automotive dealerships within Huntington’s primary banking markets, as well as in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. The segment finances the purchase of automobiles by customers of the automotive dealerships, purchases automobiles from dealers and simultaneously leases the automobiles to consumers under long-term operating or direct finance leases, finances the dealerships’ floor plan inventories, real estate, or working capital needs, and provides other banking services to the automotive dealerships and their owners.

The accounting for automobile leases significantly impacts the presentation of Dealer Sales’ financial results. Residual values on leased automobiles, including the accounting for residual value losses, are also an important factor in the overall profitability of auto leases. Automobile leases originated prior to May 2002 are accounted for as operating leases, with leases originated since April 2002 accounted for as direct financing leases. This accounting treatment impacts a number of Dealer Sales’ financial performance results and trends including net interest income, non-interest income, and non-interest expense.

2005 First Six Months versus 2004 First Six Months First

Dealer Sales contributed $37.8 million of the Company’s net operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2005, up $4.8 million, or 15%, from the comparable year-ago period. Lower net charge-offs and provision expense were the key drivers behind this improvement.

Net interest income increased $1.8 million, or 3%, reflecting an increase in the net interest margin to 2.74% from 2.57% in the comparable year-ago six-month period, somewhat offset by a 4% decline in average loans and leases. The increased margin was attributable to the migration to direct financing leases from operating leases. Average automobile loans declined $649 million, or 24%, from the year-ago period due to the sale of $1.6 billion of auto loans over this 12-month period reflecting the strategy to lower total automobile exposure. Average automobile leases increased $401 million, or 19%, though this was less than the $616 million decline in average operating leases, as that portfolio continued to run off.

The provision for credit losses for the first half of 2005 declined $18.5 million from the comparable year-ago six-month period. This reduction reflected a combination of factors including improved credit quality performance and a decline in total loans and leases. Net charge-offs for automobile loans was an annualized 0.38% for the first half of 2005, down from 0.87% in the year-ago period.

Non-interest income declined $85.6 million, or 46%, reflecting the $84.5 million decline in operating lease income as that portfolio continued to run-off. Other income declined $1.3 million reflecting lower fees earned from loans serviced for others, offset by loan fees earned on these same loans that were previously recorded in the net interest margin. Brokerage and insurance income increased $0.8 million reflecting improved revenue from the sale of a debt cancellation protection product to automobile loan and lease customers, partially offset by lower income from securitizations and servicing.

Non-interest expense declined $72.7 million, or 41%, reflecting the $67.9 million decline in operating lease expense. Other expenses declined $4.3 million, or 13%, primarily due to lower residual value losses. Personnel expenses declined 5%.

The ROA and ROE for Dealer Sales were 1.25% and 20.7%, respectively, up from 0.95% and 15.4% in the comparable 2004 six-month period.

Private Financial and Capital Markets Group (PFCMG)

This group consists of two segments: Private Financial and Capital Markets.

The Private Financial segment provides products and services designed to meet the needs of the Company’s higher net worth customers with revenue derived through trust, asset management, investment advisory, brokerage, insurance, private banking products and services. The trust and asset management division provides services to more than 12,500 accounts, including the nearly 600 customers of Haberer Registered Investment Advisor. The Huntington Investment Company offers brokerage and investment advisory services to both Regional Banking and Private Financial customers through licensed investment sales representatives and personal bankers. Insurance entities provide a complete array of insurance products including individual life insurance products ranging from basic term life insurance, to estate planning, group life and health insurance, property and casualty insurance, mortgage title insurance, and reinsurance for payment protection products. Income and related expenses from the sale of brokerage and insurance products is shared with the line of business that generates the sale or provides the customer referral, most notable Regional Banking.

The Capital Markets segment focuses on financial solutions for corporate and institutional customers including investment banking, sales and trading of securities, mezzanine capital financing, and risk management products.

2005 First Six Months versus 2004 First Six Months

The Private Financial and Capital Markets Group contributed $22.5 million of the Company’s net operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2005, up $2.9 million, or 15%, from the comparable year-ago period. The improvement reflected the benefit of a $6.5 million increase in net interest income and a $2.1 million decrease in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by the negative impacts of a $2.3 million reduction in non-interest income and a $1.8 million increase in expenses.

Net interest income increased 22% from the first half of 2004 due to growth in average loans and deposits, as well as a higher net interest margin. Average loan balances increased by $195 million, or 13%, while average deposit balances increased by $40 million, or 4%. Strong loan growth occurred in both commercial and consumer loans, up 18% and 9%, respectively. Commercial loan growth occurred across all regions and reflected renewed strategic focus on this business segment. Consumer loan growth continued to be largely driven by residential real estate loans, for which demand has continued to be favorably impacted by relatively low mortgage interest rates. Deposit balances increased largely as a result of growth in domestic time deposits as these higher rate products provided an attractive alternative to a somewhat stagnant equity market. The net interest margin was 4.19% for the first half of 2005, up from 3.79% in the year-ago period. The current period net interest margin included a 30 basis point benefit from $2.5 million of non-run rate income, consisting of $1.5 million related to an accounting methodology change with respect to the accrual of success fees related to certain mezzanine loans, as well as a $1.0 million partnership investment dividend. Excluding this 30 basis point positive impact, the net interest margin for the first half of 2005 would have been 3.89%, up from 3.79% in the year-ago period, mainly as a result of increased deposit spreads as customer rates, particularly on the core money market sweep account, have not risen as quickly as market rates.

Provision for credit losses decreased $2.1 million from the first half of 2004. The lower provision expense was due to a $1.1 million reduction in charge-offs combined with a reduction in specific reserves as NPAs declined. Net charge-offs were an annualized 0.25% for the first half of 2005, down from 0.43% in the comparable year-ago period with the period-end NPA ratio declining to 0.24% from 0.93%, a year earlier.

Non-interest income, net of fees shared with other business units and excluding securities gains, decreased $2.1 million, or 3%, from the first six months of 2004, due to a reduction in other income from Capital Markets activities. Trust income increased $4.5 million, or 14%, from the first half of 2004, due largely to growth in managed assets from $9.3 billion at June 30, 2004, to $10.3 billion at June 30, 2005. Managed asset growth occurred in each of the major trust product lines. Trust revenue also increased as a result of Huntington’s expanded role as administrator for the Huntington Funds in 2005 and the elimination of Huntington Fund fee waivers that occurred in 2004 as a result of interest rate pressure on money market yields. Institutional trust revenue growth also resulted from a large $1.5 billion custody account acquired in the fourth quarter of 2004. Brokerage and insurance revenue decreased $2.6 million, or 14%, mainly as a result of an 18% decline in annuity sales volume. The annuity sales volume decline reflected a lower demand for fixed annuity products resulting from the rising interest rate environment combined with fewer carrier promotional rate offerings. Other income

decreased $3.5 million due to a reduction in trading related income of $2.0 million and a write-down of hedge funds in the Capital Markets portfolio in the first quarter of 2005. A decrease in mezzanine lending gains was essentially offset by a $2.6 million increase from an accounting methodology to recognize as gross revenue vendor marketing allowances previously offset with the related expenses.

Non-interest expense increased $1.8 million, or 3%, from the prior six-month period mainly due to a $2.6 million increase in expenses resulting from the accounting methodology change. Partially offsetting this increase was a reduction in sales commissions as a result of the decreased brokerage and insurance revenue.

The ROA and ROE for the first half of 2005 were 2.35% and 35.2%, respectively, up from 2.30% and 30.2%, respectively, in the first half of 2004.

Treasury / Other

(See Significant Factors 3, 6, 7, and 8)

The Treasury / Other segment includes revenue and expense related to assets, liabilities, and equity that are not directly assigned or allocated to one of the other three business segments. Assets included in this segment include investment securities and bank owned life insurance.

Net interest income includes the net impact of administering Huntington’s investment securities portfolios as part of overall liquidity management. A match-funded transfer pricing system is used to attribute appropriate funding interest income and interest expense to other business segments. As such, net interest income includes the net impact of any over or under allocations arising from centralized management of interest rate risk. Furthermore, net interest income includes the net impact of derivatives used to hedge interest rate sensitivity.

Non-interest income includes miscellaneous fee income not allocated to other business segments, including bank owned life insurance income. Fee income also includes asset revaluations not allocated to other business segments including MSR temporary valuation impairments or recoveries, as well as any investment securities and/or trading assets gains or losses, which are used to mitigate the earnings impact of MSR valuation changes.

Non-interest expense includes certain corporate administrative and other miscellaneous expenses not allocated to other business segments.

The provision for income taxes for each of the other business segments is calculated at a statutory 35% tax rate, though the Company’s overall effective tax rate is lower. As a result, Treasury / Other reflects a credit for income taxes representing the difference between the actual effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate used to allocate income taxes to the other segments.

2005 First Six Months versus 2004 First Six Months

Treasury / Other net income declined $26.5 million, or 77%, from the year-ago period primarily due to the negative impacts of lower net interest income, lower non-interest income, and higher non-interest expense, partially offset by the benefits of a higher credit for income taxes.

Net interest income declined $35.2 million. Treasury/Other received net funds transfer pricing credits from the other three lines of business of $15.3 million in the 2005 first half and incurred net funds transfer pricing charges of $4.5 million in the 2004 first half, an increase of $19.8 million. This increase was due mainly to the impact of higher market interest rates, and the resulting increase in net funds transfer charges to the lines of business to fund their net assets. In addition, line of business net assets requiring funding increased of $0.4 billion, resulting in higher net funds transfer income in Treasury/Other. Offsetting the increased net interest income from funds transfer pricing was a $55.0 million decrease in other sources of net interest income. Interest expense on Treasury/Other liabilities increased $54.3 million due mainly to higher market interest rates. In addition, Treasury/Other net liabilities and equity increased $0.4 billion to provide the funding required by the lines of business. The funding was provided principally by a reduction of investment securities.

Non-interest income declined $13.4 million from the comparable year-ago period. Mortgage banking income decreased $6.9 million reflecting a $6.5 million MSR temporary impairment in the current six-month period. Also contributing the decline in total non-interest income from the year-ago period was a $4.6 million decline in securities gains as the year-ago period included $5.1 million of securities gains, mostly related to MSR hedge-related activity.

Non-interest expense increased $5.3 million from the comparable year-ago six-month period, as the current six-month period included $3.6 million of severance and consolidation expense, as well as $3.6 million of SEC and regulatory-related expense.

The credit for income taxes increased $27.2 million from the year-ago period quarter reflecting the difference between Huntington’s lower overall effective tax rate versus the 35% statutory tax rate reflected in each line of business. The overall effective tax rate in 2005 was lower than in the year-ago period reflecting the benefit of a federal tax loss carry back in 2005 and lower income before taxes.
