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 Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Huntington’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2005 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 2006 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 No. 123R)— Statement No. 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 No. 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 No. 123R replaces FASB Statement No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Statement No.123), and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees(APB 25). Statement No. 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. Effective January 1, 2006, Huntington has adopted Statement No. 123R. The impact of adoption to Huntington’s results of operations is presented in Note 10.

FASB Statement No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (Statement No. 154)— In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20,Accounting Changes, and Statement No. 3,Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. Statement No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Statement No. 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 was not material to Huntington’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

FASB Statement No. 155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (Statement No. 155)— On February 16, 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 155, which amends Statement No. 133 to simplify the accounting for certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments (hybrid financial instruments) by permitting fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise required bifurcation, provided that the entire hybrid financial instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. Statement No. 155 also establishes the requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, which replaces the interim guidance in Derivative Instrument Group Issue D1,Recognition and Measurement of Derivatives: Application of Statement No. 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. Statement No. 155 amends Statement No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125 (Statement No. 140), to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to beneficial interests other than another derivative financial instrument. Statement No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption allowed. Huntington adopted Statement No. 155 effective January 1, 2006, with no impact to reported financial results.

FASB Statement No. 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140(Statement No. 156)— In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156, an amendment of Statement No. 140. This Statement requires all separately recognized servicing rights be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. For each class of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities, this statement permits Huntington to choose either to report servicing assets and liabilities at fair value or at amortized cost. Under the fair value approach, servicing assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded in earnings in the period in which the changes occur. Under the amortized cost method, servicing assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss and are assessed for impairment based on fair value at each reporting date. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, and allows early adoption as of the beginning of a fiscal year for which the entity has not previously issued interim financial statements. Huntington elected to adopt the provisions of Statement No. 156 for mortgage servicing rights effective January 1, 2006, and has recorded mortgage servicing right assets using the fair value provision of the standard. The adoption of Statement No. 156 resulted in an $18.6 million increase in the carrying value of mortgage servicing right assets as of January 1, 2006. The cumulative effect of this change was $12.1 million, net of taxes, which is reflected as an increase in retained earnings in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity.(See Note 5.)

FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes— In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, contains guidance on the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The Company will be required to recognize the impact of a tax position if it is more likely than not that it will be sustained upon examination, based upon the technical merits of the position. The effective date for application of this interpretation is for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this Interpretation must be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal period. Huntington is currently evaluating the impact this Interpretation will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Proposed FASB amendment to FAS 132,Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R— In March 2006, the FASB issued an Exposure Draft, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”. This Exposure Draft would amend the FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R. The intent of the Exposure Draft is to require an employer to recognize in its statement of financial position the overfunded or underfunded status of its defined benefit plans and to recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs and credits that arise during the period. A final statement is expected in the third quarter of 2006. The Company is reviewing the Exposure Draft and evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements. Management estimates that, based on the carrying value of its net pension asset at December 31, 2005, the proposed standard would result in a write-down of its pension asset by $155.7 million pre-tax, which would decrease other comprehensive income by $101.2 million in the period that the standard is adopted.

Note 3 — 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 The Huntington National Bank (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 corporate governance, internal audit, risk management, accounting policies and procedures, and financial and regulatory reporting. The agreements called for independent third-party reviews, as well as the submission of written plans and progress reports by Management and would remain in effect until terminated by the banking regulators.

On October 6, 2005, Huntington announced that the OCC had lifted its formal written agreement with the Bank dated February 28, 2005, and that the FRBC written agreement remained in effect. Huntington was verbally advised that it was in full compliance with the financial holding company and financial subsidiary requirements under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act). This notification reflected that Huntington and the Bank met both the “well-capitalized” and “well-managed” criteria under the GLB Act.

On May 10, 2006, Huntington announced that the FRBC notified Huntington’s board of directors that Huntington had satisfied the provisions of the written agreement dated February 28, 2005, and that the FRBC, under delegated authority of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, had terminated the written agreement.

Note 4 — Business Combination

On March 1, 2006, Huntington completed its merger with Canton, Ohio-based Unizan Financial Corp. (Unizan). Unizan operated 42 banking offices in five metropolitan markets in Ohio: Canton, Columbus, Dayton, Newark, and Zanesville.

Under the terms of the merger agreement announced January 27, 2004, and amended November 11, 2004, Unizan shareholders of record as of the close of trading on February 28, 2006, received 1.1424 shares of Huntington common stock for each share of Unizan. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity were recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Unizan’s results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated statement of income since the acquisition date.

The following table shows the excess purchase price over carrying value of net assets acquired, preliminary purchase price allocation, and resulting goodwill:

Note 5 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Changes to the carrying amount of goodwill by line of business for the six months ended June 30, 2006, were as follows:


	Regional		Dealer				Treasury/		Huntington
(in thousands)	Banking		Sales		PFCMG		Other		Consolidated

Balance, January 1, 2006	$	199,970	$	—	$	12,560	$	—	$	212,530

As further described in Note 4, goodwill acquired during 2006 was a result of the completion of the merger with Unizan. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis at September 30^th of each year.

At June 30, 2006, Huntington’s other intangible assets consisted of the following:


	June 30, 2006
	Gross		Accumulated			Net
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Amortization			Carrying Value
Other intangible assets:
Leasehold purchased	$	23,655	$	(19,224	)	$	4,431

Other		382		(153	)		229

Total other intangible assets	$	87,037	$	(22,896	)	$	64,141

Amortization expense of other intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and 2005, was $3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Amortization expense of other intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $4.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

The estimated amortization expense of other intangible assets for the next five annual fiscal years are as follows:


	Amortization
Fiscal year:	Expense

2007		9,815
2008		8,653
2009		7,748

2011		6,229

Note 6 — Loan Sales and Securitizations

Automobile loans

Huntington sold $218.4 million and $53.4 million of automobile loans in the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, resulting in pre-tax gains of $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, sales of automobile loans totaled $388.2 million and $53.4 million, resulting in pre-tax gains of $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Huntington adopted Statement No. 156 as of January 1, 2006. Automobile loan servicing rights are acccounted for under the amortization provision of that statement. A servicing asset is established at an initial carrying value based on the relative fair value at the time of the 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 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, 2006 and 2005, 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)	2006			2005			2006			2005
Carrying value, beginning of period	$	9,610		$	17,046		$	10,805		$	20,286
New servicing assets		1,364			332			2,362			332
Amortization		(1,989	)		(3,050	)		(4,182	)		(6,290	)
Impairment charges		—			(66	)		—			(66	)

Carrying value, end of period	$	8,985		$	14,262		$	8,985		$	14,262


Fair value, end of period	$	10,486		$	14,842		$	10,486		$	14,842

Huntington has retained servicing responsibilities on sold automobile loans 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 $3.4 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, servicing income was $6.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2006, Huntington transferred $1.2 billion automobile loans and leases to a trust in a securitization transaction. The securitization did not qualify for sale accounting under Statement No. 140 and, therefore, is accounted for as a secured financing.

Residential Mortgage Loans

A mortgage servicing right (MSR) is established only when the servicing is contractually separated from the underlying mortgage loans by sale or securitization of the loans with servicing rights retained. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company early adopted Statement No. 156. The same risk management practices are applied to all MSRs and, accordingly, MSRs were identified as a single asset class and were re-measured to fair value as of January 1, 2006, with an adjustment to retained earnings.

At initial recognition, the MSR asset is established at its fair value using assumptions that are consistent with assumptions used at the time to estimate the fair value of the total MSR portfolio. Subsequent to initial capitalization, MSR assets are carried at fair value and are included in other assets. Any increase or decrease in fair value during the period is recorded as an increase or decrease in servicing income, which is reflected in non-interest income in the consolidated income statement.

The following table is a summary of the changes in MSR fair value during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006:


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,
(in thousands)	2006		2006
Carrying value, beginning of period	$	N/A	$	91,259
Cumulative effect in change in accounting principle		N/A		18,631

Fair value, beginning of period		123,257		109,890
New servicing assets created		7,434		13,211
Servicing assets acquired		565		2,474
Change in fair value during the period		4,988		10,669

Fair value, end of period	$	136,244	$	136,244

N/A, Not applicable

MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of MSRs occur, the precise terms and conditions are typically not readily available. Therefore, the fair value of MSRs is estimated using a discounted future cash flow model. The model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees and assumptions related to prepayments, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenues, costs to service, and other economic factors. Changes in the assumptions used may have a significant impact on the valuation of MSRs.

A summary of key assumptions and the sensitivity of the MSR value at June 30, 2006 to changes in these assumptions follows:


				Decline in fair value
				due to
				10%			20%
				adverse			adverse
(in thousands)	Actual			change			change
Constant pre-payment rate		10.44	%	$	(5,252	)	$	(10,168	)
Discount rate		9.39			(5,344	)		(10,293	)

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 impacted by the level of prepayments. The Company hedges against changes in MSR fair value attributable to changes in interest rates through a combination of derivative instruments and trading securities.

Prior to 2006, servicing rights were evaluated quarterly for impairment based on the fair value of those rights, using a disaggregated approach. The fair value of the servicing rights was 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 was recognized in a valuation allowance against the mortgage servicing rights.

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


	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
	June 30,			June 30,
(in thousands)	2005			2005
Balance, beginning of period	$	(1,015	)	$	(4,775	)
Impairment charges		(10,231	)		(11,411	)
Impairment recovery		—			4,940

Balance, end of period	$	(11,246	)	$	(11,246	)

⁽¹⁾		The average duration assumes a market driven pre-payment rate on securities subject to pre-payment.

Based upon its assessment, Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss at June 30, 2006, represents an other-than-temporary impairment. In addition, Huntington has the ability to hold these securities for a time necessary, including to maturity, to recover the amortized cost. There were no securities classified as held to maturity at June 30, 2006.

Other securities include Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock, corporate debt, and marketable equity securities.

Note 9 — Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is the amount of earnings 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 for dilutive stock options. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, is as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	2006		2005		2006		2005

Net income	$	111,604	$	106,425	$	216,060	$	202,944

Average common shares outstanding		241,729		232,217		236,349		232,021
Dilutive potential common shares		2,809		3,454		3,102		3,341

Diluted average common shares outstanding		244,538		235,671		239,451		235,362


Earnings per share
Basic	$	0.46	$	0.46	$	0.91	$	0.87
Diluted		0.46		0.45		0.90		0.86

The average market price of Huntington’s common stock for the period was used in determining the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options. Dilutive potential common shares include stock options and options held in deferred compensation plans. Dilutive potential common shares are computed based on the number of shares subject to options that have an exercise price less than the average market price of Huntington’s common stock for the period.

Options to purchase 5.6 million and 2.6 million shares during both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were outstanding 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 $25.68 and $26.96 per share and $25.67 and $26.92 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Note 10 — Stock-Based Compensation

Huntington sponsors nonqualified and incentive stock option plans. These plans provide for the granting of stock options to officers, directors, and other employees at the market price on the date of the grant. Huntington’s board of directors has approved all of the plans. Shareholders have approved each of the plans, except for the broad-based Employee Stock Incentive Plan. Of the 26.2 million options to purchase shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the plans at June 30, 2006, 20.5 million were outstanding and 5.7 million were available for future grants. Options vest ratably over three years or when other conditions are met. Options granted prior to May 2004 have a maximum term of ten years. All options granted beginning in May 2004 have a maximum term of seven years.

On January 1, 2006, Huntington adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement No. 123R relating to its stock-based compensation plans. Prior to January 1, 2006, Huntington had accounted for stock-based compensation plans under the intrinsic value method promulgated by APB Opinion 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. In accordance with APB 25, compensation expense for employee stock options was generally not recognized for options granted that had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Under the modified prospective method of Statement No. 123R, compensation expense was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, for all unvested stock options, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement No. 123 and for all stock based payments granted after January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement No. 123R. Stock-based compensation expense was recorded in personnel costs in the consolidated statements of income. Huntington’s financial results for the prior periods have not been restated.

The following table presents the unfavorable impact of adoption of Statement 123R on Huntington’s income before income taxes, net income, and basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.


	Stock-based compensation expense

Earnings per share
Basic	$	(0.01	)	$	(0.02	)
Diluted		(0.01	)		(0.02	)

Prior to the adoption of Statement 123R, Huntington presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Statement 123R requires the cash flows from tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of compensation costs recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. As a result, the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost included in net financing cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $0.7 million.

Consistent with the valuation method used for the disclosure only provisions of Statement No. 123, Huntington uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value stock-based compensation expense. This model assumes that the estimated fair value of options is amortized over the options’ vesting periods and the compensation costs would be included in personnel costs on the consolidated statements of income. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical rates and reduce the compensation expense recognized. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Huntington’s stock. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises. The expected dividend yield is based on the dividend rate and stock price on the date of the grant. The following table illustrates the weighted-average assumptions used in the option-pricing model for options granted in each of the periods presented.

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 of the Plan and the Post-Retirement Benefit Plan:


	Pension Benefits						Post Retirement Benefits

There is no expected minimum contribution for 2006 to the Plan. Although not required, Huntington made a contribution to the Plan of $29.8 million in June 2006.

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. The cost of providing these plans was $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the respective six-month periods, the cost was $1.3 million and $1.1 million.

Huntington has a defined contribution plan that is available to eligible employees. Huntington matches participant contributions dollar for dollar, up to the first 3% of base pay contributed to the plan. The match is 50 cents for each dollar on the 4th and 5th percent of base pay contributed to the plan. The cost of providing this plan was $2.6 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the respective six-month periods, the cost was $5.1 million and $4.9 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 amounts of these financial agreements at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, and June 30, 2005, were as follows:


	June 30,		December 31,		June 30,
(in millions)	2006		2005		2005

Contract amount represents credit risk
Commitments to extend credit
Commercial	$	4,021	$	3,316	$	2,947
Consumer		3,595		3,046		2,983
Commercial real estate		1,764		1,567		1,480
Standby letters of credit		1,121		1,079		968
Commercial letters of credit		54		47		61

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 $3.6 million, $4.0 million, and $3.2 million at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, and June 30, 2005, 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, 2006, December 31, 2005, and June 30, 2005, Huntington had commitments to sell residential real estate loans of $341.5 million, $348.3 million, and $534.3 million, respectively. These contracts mature in less than one year.

During the 2005 second quarter, Huntington entered into a two-year agreement to sell a portion of its monthly automobile loan production at the cost of such loans, subject to certain limitations, provided the production meets certain pricing, asset quality, and volume parameters. At June 30, 2006, approximately $62.0 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 market risk of adverse price or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets and liabilities and on future cash flows. These derivative financial 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. Derivatives are sold to meet customers’ financing needs. All derivatives are reflected at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet.

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. Like other financial instruments, derivatives 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.

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, 2006, December 31, 2005, and June 30, 2005, aggregate credit risk associated with these derivatives, net of collateral that has been pledged by the counterparty, was $31.1 million, $26.2 million, and $26.5 million, respectively. The credit risk associated with interest rate swaps is calculated after considering master netting agreements.

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 not to be effective, the derivative no longer qualifies as a hedge and any excess gains or losses attributable to ineffectiveness, as well as subsequent changes in its fair value, 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 mortgage banking activities, can be settled 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, the Company enters into interest rate swap contracts which require the payment of 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. 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 interest rate risk at June 30, 2006, are shown in the table below:


			Average					Weighted-Average
	Notional		Maturity		Fair			Rate

Total swap portfolio	$	2,380,250		6.9	$	(54,815	)		4.92	%		5.21	%


		N/A, not applicable

During the first quarter of 2006, Huntington terminated asset and liability conversion interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $2.5 billion. The terminations generated gross gains of $34.9 million and gross losses of $34.5 million, resulting in a net deferred gain of $0.4 million. The net gain is being amortized into interest income over the remainder of the original terms of the terminated swaps as follows: 2006: ($2.2 million), 2007: $2.2 million, 2008: ($1.4 million), 2009: $0.2 million, and 2010: $1.6 million.

As is the case with cash securities, the fair value of interest rate swaps is largely a function of financial market 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 following table represents the gross notional value of derivatives used to manage interest rate risk at June 30, 2006, 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.


	Fair Value		Cash Flow

Instruments associated with:
Deposits	$	790,250	$	400,000	$	1,190,250

Subordinated notes		750,000		—		750,000

Total notional value at June 30, 2006	$	1,590,250	$	790,000	$	2,380,250

These derivative financial instruments were entered into for the purpose of mitigating the interest rate risk embedded in 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 a (decrease) increase to net interest income of $(0.8) million and $6.9 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the impact to net interest income was a (decrease) increase of $(0.2) million and $14.5 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 and the related hedges 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, 2006 and 2005:

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 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.

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 $2.2 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, total trading revenue for customer accommodation was $5.2 million and $3.7 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 $4.6 billion, $4.2 billion, and $4.5 billion at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, and June 30, 2005. Huntington’s credit risk from interest rate swaps used for trading purposes was $64.4 million, $44.3 million, and $49.7 million at the same dates.

In connection with securitization activities, Huntington purchased interest rate caps with a notional value totaling $1.8 billion. These purchased caps were assigned to the securitization trust for the benefit of the security holders. Interest rate caps were also sold totaling $1.8 billion outside the securitization structure. Both the purchased and sold caps are marked to market through income.

Note 14 — Shareholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program:

On October 18, 2005, the Company announced that the board of directors authorized a new program for the repurchase of up to 15 million shares (the 2005 Repurchase Program). The repurchase program authorized in 2004, with 3.1 million shares remaining, was cancelled and replaced by the 2005 Repurchase Program.

On April 20, 2006, the Company announced that the board of directors authorized a new program for the repurchase of up to 15 million shares (the 2006 Repurchase Program). The 2006 Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date. The 2005 Repurchase Program, with 5 million shares remaining, was canceled and replaced by the 2006 Repurchase Program. The Company expects to repurchase the shares from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions depending on market conditions.

On May 24, 2006, Huntington repurchased 6.0 million shares of common stock from Bear Stearns under an accelerated share repurchase program. The accelerated share repurchase program enabled Huntington to purchase the shares immediately, while Bear Stearns may purchase shares in the market over a period of up to four months (the Repurchase Term). In connection with the repurchase of these shares, Huntington entered into a variable share forward sale agreement, which provides for a settlement, reflecting a price differential based on the adjusted volume-weighted average price as defined in the agreement with Bear Stearns. The variable share forward agreement may be settled in shares or in cash, at Huntington’s discretion. Any settlement will be reflected as an adjustment to treasury shares on Huntington’s balance sheet at the end of the Repurchase Term. Based on the adjusted volume-weighted average prices through June 30, 2006, the settlement of the variable share forward agreement is not expected to have a material impact to Huntington.

Listed below is the share repurchase activity under the 2006 Repurchase Program for the three months ended June 30, 2006:

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 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 the Company’s organizational and management structure and, accordingly, the results derived are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions. 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 traditional banking products and services to consumer, small business, and commercial customers located in eight operating regions within the five states of Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Indiana, and Kentucky. It provides these services through a banking network of 370 branches, over 1,000 ATMs, plus on-line 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 59% and 79% of total Regional Banking loans and deposits, respectively. Commercial Banking serves middle market 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 provides a variety of banking products and services to more than 3,500 automotive dealerships within the Company’s primary banking markets, as well as in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Dealer Sales 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. Competition from the financing divisions of automobile manufacturers and from other financial institutions is intense. Dealer Sales’ production opportunities are directly impacted by the general automotive sales business, including programs initiated by manufacturers to enhance and increase sales directly. Huntington has been in this line of business for over 50 years.

Private Financial and Capital Markets Group (PFCMG):This segment provides products and services designed to meet the needs of the Company’s higher net worth customers. Revenue is derived through the sale of trust, asset management, investment advisory, brokerage, insurance, and private banking products and services. It also focuses on financial solutions for corporate and institutional customers that include investment banking, sales and trading of securities, mezzanine capital financing, and risk management products. To serve high net worth customers, a unique distribution model is used that employs a single, unified sales force to deliver products and services mainly through Regional Banking distribution channels.

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 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 (reported) basis, to measure underlying performance trends for each business segment. Operating earnings represent reported earnings adjusted to exclude the impact of the significant items listed in the reconciliation table below. Analyzing earnings on an operating basis is very helpful in assessing underlying performance trends, a critical factor used to determine the success of strategies and future earnings capabilities.

Listed below is certain financial results by line of business. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, operating earnings were the same as reported earnings.

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

INTRODUCTION

Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (we or our) is a multi-state diversified financial holding company organized under Maryland law in 1966 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Through our subsidiaries, we provide full-service commercial and consumer banking services, mortgage banking services, automobile financing, equipment leasing, investment management, trust services, brokerage services, and private mortgage insurance; reinsure credit life and disability insurance; and sell other insurance and financial products and services. Our banking offices are located in Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Indiana, and Kentucky. Certain activities are also conducted in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee. We have a foreign office in the Cayman Islands and another in Hong Kong. The Huntington National Bank (the Bank), organized in 1866, is our only bank subsidiary.

The following discussion and analysis provides you with information we believe necessary for understanding our 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. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) appearing in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended (2005 Form 10-K), as updated by the information contained in this report, should be read in conjunction with this interim MD&A.

You should note the following discussion is divided into key segments:

	•		Introduction- Provides overview comments on important matters including risk factors and bank regulatory agreements. These are essential for understanding our performance and prospects.

	•		Discussion of Results of Operations- Reviews financial performance from a consolidated company perspective. It also includes a Significant Factors Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons section that summarizes key issues helpful for understanding performance trends. Key consolidated balance sheet and income statement trends are also discussed in this section.

	•		Risk Management and Capital- Discusses credit, market, liquidity, and operational risks, including how these are managed, as well as performance trends. It also includes a discussion of liquidity policies, how we fund ourselves, and related performance. In addition, there is a discussion of guarantees and/or commitments made for items such as standby letters of credit and commitments to sell loans, and a discussion that reviews the adequacy of capital, including regulatory capital requirements.

	•		Lines of Business Discussion– Describes our lines of business, provides an overview of financial performance for each line of business, and provides additional discussion of trends underlying consolidated financial performance.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report, including MD&A, contains forward-looking statements. These include descriptions of products or services, plans or objectives for future operations, 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 underRisk Factorsof our 2005 Form 10-K, and other factors described in this report and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.

You should understand forward-looking statements to be strategic objectives and not absolute forecasts of future performance. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We assume 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

We, like other financial companies, are subject to a number of risks, many of which are outside of our direct control, though efforts are made to manage 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 our financial condition or results of operation, (3) liquidity risk, which is the risk that we 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 and systems, or from external events. (More information on risk is set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of our 2005 Form 10-K.)

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Significant Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to establish critical accounting policies and make accounting estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect amounts recorded and reported in our financial statements. Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2005 Form 10-K as supplemented by this report lists significant accounting policies we use in the development and presentation of our financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors necessary for an understanding and evaluation of our company, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

An accounting estimate requires assumptions about uncertain matters that could have a material effect on the financial statements if a different amount within a range of estimates were used or if estimates changed from period-to-period. Readers of this report should understand that estimates are made under facts and circumstances at a point in time, and changes in those facts and circumstances could produce actual results that differ from when those estimates were made.

Formal Regulatory Supervisory Agreements

On March 1, 2005, we announced that we had entered into a formal written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (FRBC), and 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 our corporate governance, internal audit, risk management, accounting policies and procedures, and financial and regulatory reporting. The agreements called for independent third-party reviews, as well as the submission of written plans and progress reports by Management and would remain in effect until terminated by the banking regulators.

On October 6, 2005, we announced that the OCC had lifted its formal written agreement with the Bank dated February 28, 2005, and that the FRBC written agreement remained in effect. We were verbally advised that we were in full compliance with the financial holding company and financial subsidiary requirements under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act). This notification reflected that we, and the Bank, met both the “well-capitalized” and “well-managed” criteria under the GLB Act.

On May 10, 2006, we announced that the FRBC notified our board of directors that we had satisfied the provisions of the written agreement dated February 28, 2005, and that the FRBC, under delegated authority of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, had terminated the written agreement.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This section provides a review of financial performance from a consolidated perspective. It also includes a Significant Factors Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons section that summarizes key issues important for a complete understanding of performance trends. Key consolidated balance sheet and income statement trends are discussed in this section. All earnings per share data are reported on a diluted basis. For additional insight on financial performance, this section should be read in conjunction with the Lines of Business Discussion.

Summary

Earnings comparisons of 2006 second quarter and first six-month performance with that of the prior periods were impacted by a number of factors, some related to changes in the economic and competitive environment, while others reflected corporate actions, specific strategies, or changes in accounting practices. The most significant item impacting performance comparisons was the Unizan merger, which closed March 1, 2006. Understanding the impact of this merger, as well as the nature and implications of other significant factors on financial results is important in understanding our income statement, balance sheet, and credit quality trends and the comparison of the current quarter performance with that of prior periods. The key factors impacting current reporting period comparisons to prior periods are more fully described in the Significant Factors Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons section, which follows this summary discussion of results.

2006 Second Quarter versus 2005 Second Quarter

Net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $111.6 million, or $0.46 per common share, up 5% and 2%, respectively, from $106.4 million, or $0.45 per common share, in the year-ago quarter. This $5.2 million increase in net income primarily reflected the positive impacts of:

	•		A $20.3 million, or 8%, increase in net interest income. This reflected the benefit of $2.7 billion, or 9%, growth in average earning assets ($1.7 billion, or 7%, in average total loans and leases), partially offset by a two basis point decline in the net interest margin to 3.34% from 3.36% in the year-ago quarter. The Unizan merger added $17.4 million to net interest income with the addition of $2.0 billion of earning assets ($1.7 billion in loans and leases).(See Net Interest Income discussion for details.)

	•		A $6.8 million, or 4%, increase in total non-interest income. This reflected the benefit of higher mortgage banking income, service charges on deposit accounts, trust services income, and other service charges and fees, which was partially offset by declines in operating lease income and other income. The Unizan merger contributed $7.2 million of growth to non-interest income.(See Non-interest Income discussion for details.)

Partially offset by:

	•		$14.9 million increase in provision for income taxes as the effective tax rate increased to 29.0% from 22.3%. The increase in tax provision reflected higher pre-tax income in 2006, and the recognition of the benefit of a federal tax loss carryback in 2005.(See Provision for Income Taxes discussion for details.)

	•		$4.2 million, or 2%, increase in total non-interest expense. This reflected higher personnel, marketing, amortization of intangibles, equipment, and outside data processing and other service expenses, partially offset by declines in operating lease expense and professional services costs. The Unizan merger contributed $18.0 million to the increase in total non-interest expense.(See Non-interest Expense discussion for details.)

	•		$2.9 million, or 22%, increase in provision for credit losses.(See Provision for Credit Losses and the Credit Risk discussions for details.)

The return on average assets (ROA) and return on average equity (ROE) in the 2006 second quarter were 1.25% and 14.9%, respectively. Both were lower than in the year-ago quarter, where the ROA was 1.31% and ROE was 16.3% (see Table 1).

2006 Second Quarter versus 2006 First Quarter

Net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $111.6 million, or $0.46 per common share, up 7% and 2%, respectively, from $104.5 million, or $0.45 per common share, in the prior quarter. This $7.2 million increase in net income primarily reflected the positive impacts of:

	•		An $18.5 million, or 8%, increase in net interest income. This reflected the benefit of $1.8 billion, or 6%, growth in average earning assets ($1.3 billion, or 5%, in average total loans and leases), and a two basis point increase in the net interest margin to 3.34% from 3.32% in the prior quarter. The Unizan merger contributed $11.6 million to the increase in net interest income ($17.4 million over three months during the second quarter compared with $5.8 million over one month during the first quarter). Unizan added $1.3 billion to earning assets ($1.1 billion in total loans and leases) compared with the first quarter.(See Net Interest Income discussion for details.)

	•		$3.8 million, or 19%, decrease in provision for credit losses.(See Provision for Credit Losses and the Credit Risk discussions for details.)

	•		A $3.5 million, or 2%, increase in total non-interest income. This reflected the benefit of higher service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage banking income, other service charges and fees, and trust services income, which was partially offset by declines in operating lease income and other income. The Unizan merger contributed $4.8 million of growth to total non-interest income.(See Non-interest Income discussion for details.)

Partially offset by:

	•		$13.9 million, or 6%, increase in total non-interest expense. This reflected higher personnel, marketing, amortization of intangibles, equipment, and professional services, partially offset by a decline in operating lease expense. The Unizan merger contributed $13.7 million to the increase in total non-interest expense.(See Non-interest Expense discussion for details.)

	•		$4.7 million, or 12%, increase in provision for income taxes, reflecting primarily higher pre-tax income as the effective tax rate increased only slightly to 29.0% from 28.1%.(See Provision for Income Taxes discussion for details.)

The ROA and ROE in the 2006 second quarter were 1.25% and 14.9%, respectively. Both were slightly lower than in the prior quarter, where the ROA was 1.26% and ROE was 15.5% (see Table 1).

2006 First Six Months versus 2005 First Six Months

Net income for the 2006 first six-month period was $216.1 million, or $0.90 per common share, up 6% and 5%, respectively, from $202.9 million, or $0.86 per common share, in the year-ago period. This $13.1 million increase in net income primarily reflected the positive impacts of:

	•		A $28.8 million, or 6%, increase in net interest income. This reflected the benefit of $1.9 billion, or 7%, growth in average earning assets ($1.4 billion, or 6%, in average total loans and leases), partially offset by a one basis point decline in the net interest margin to 3.33% from 3.34% in the year-ago six-month period. The Unizan merger contributed $23.2 million to the increase in net interest income and $1.3 billion to the growth of average earning assets ($1.1 billion in average total loans and leases).(See Net Interest Income discussion for details.)

	•		$15.6 million, or 3%, decline in total non-interest expense. This reflected significant declines in operating lease expense and professional services costs, partially offset by higher personnel, marketing, amortization of intangibles, equipment, and outside data processing and other service expenses. The Unizan merger contributed $27.5 million to total non-interest expense.(See Non-interest Expense discussion for details.)

Partially offset by:

	•		$27.1 million, or 46%, increase in provision for income taxes as the effective tax rate increased to 28.5% from 22.6%. The increase in tax provision reflected higher pre-tax income in 2006, and the recognition of the benefit of a federal tax loss carryback in 2005.(See Provision for Income Taxes discussion for details.)

	•		$2.5 million, or 8%, increase in provision for credit losses.(See Provision for Credit Losses and the Credit Risk discussions for details.)

•

$1.7 million, or 1%, decline in total non-interest income. This reflected a significant decline in operating lease income, partially offset by the benefit of higher mortgage banking income, service charges on deposit accounts, trust services income, other service charges and fees, and brokerage and insurance income. The Unizan merger contributed $9.6 million to total non-interest income.(See Non-interest Income discussion for details.)

The ROA and ROE in the 2006 first six-month period were 1.26% and 15.2%, respectively. While the ROA was unchanged between periods, the ROE decline slightly from 15.9% in the year-ago six-month period(see Table 2).

Significant Factors Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons

Earnings comparisons from the beginning of 2005 through the second quarter of 2006 were impacted by a number of factors, reflecting corporate actions, specific strategies, or changes in accounting practices. Those key factors are summarized below.

Unizan Acquisition.The merger with Unizan Financial Corp. (Unizan) was completed on March 1, 2006. At the time of acquisition, Unizan had assets of $2.5 billion, including $1.7 billion of loans, and core deposits of $1.5 billion. This impacted 2006 first and second quarter, and year-to-date reported results compared with pre-merger reporting periods as follows:

	•		Increased certain reported period-end balance sheet and credit quality items (e.g., non-performing loans).

	•		Increased reported average balance sheet, revenue, expense, and credit quality results (e.g., net charge-offs).

	•		Increased reported non-interest expense items as a result of costs incurred as part of merger-integration activities, most notably employee retention bonuses, outside programming services related to systems conversions, and marketing expenses related to customer retention initiatives. These merger costs were $1.0 million in the 2006 first quarter and $2.6 million in the 2006 second quarter, resulting in $3.6 million of merger costs, year-to-date.

Given the impact of the merger on reported 2006 results, We believe that it is helpful in better understanding certain underlying performance and trends to analyze them by quantifying the impact of the merger. As such, the following two terms relating to the impact of the Unizan merger on reported results are used in the Discussion of Results of Operations, and when comparing post-merger period results to pre-merger periods:

	•		“Merger-related” refers to amounts and percentage changes representing the impact attributable to the merger.

	•		“Merger costs” represent expenses associated with merger integration activities.

Schedules, reflecting the impact of the Unizan merger on our reported average balance sheet and income statement, can be found in Table 25 – Estimated Impact of Unizan Merger.

Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) and related hedging.Interest rate levels have generally been rising throughout this period, which has impacted the valuation of MSRs.

	•		Since the second quarter of 2002, we have generally retained the servicing on mortgage loans we originate and sell. 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 is reduced. Prior to 2006, we recognized impairment when the valuation was less than the recorded book value. We recognized temporary impairment due to changes in interest rates through a valuation reserve and recorded a direct write-down of the book value of 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 recognized MSR temporary impairment. Such swings in MSR valuations have significantly impacted quarterly mortgage banking income trends throughout this period.

	•		Beginning in 2006, we adopted Statement No. 156, which records MSRs at fair value. Under the fair value approach, servicing assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value between reporting dates are recorded as an increase or decrease in mortgage banking income, which is reflected in non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income. MSR assets are included in other assets.(See Tables 3, 7, and 8.)

	•		We use trading account assets to offset MSR valuation changes. The valuations of trading securities we used generally reacted to interest rate changes in an opposite direction compared with changes in MSR valuations. As a result, changes in interest rate levels that impacted MSR valuations also resulted in trading gains or losses. As such, in quarters where an MSR impairment was recognized, changes to the fair market value of trading account assets typically resulted in a recognition of trading income, and vice versa. Trading gains or losses are a component of other non-interest income on the income statement.

3.		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 automobile 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 revenue, total non-interest income, and total non-interest expense trends.

		In contrast, automobile leases originated since April 2002 are accounted for as direct financing leases, an interest earning 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. To better understand overall trends in automobile lease exposure, it is helpful to compare trends in the combined total of direct financing leases plus automobile operating leases.

4.		Effective tax rate.The effective tax rate was 28.5% for the six-month period, up 5.9% from the same period in 2005. The effective tax rate in 2005 included the positive impact on net income of a federal tax loss carry-back.

5.		Stock option expensing.Beginning in the 2006 first quarter, we adopted Statement No. 123R,Share-based Payment,which resulted in recognizing the impact of stock-based compensation, primarily in the form of stock option grants, as personnel expense in our income statement. Adoption of stock option expensing added $4.3 million to personnel expense in the 2006 first and second quarters, and totaled $8.5 million year-to-date.(See Note 9 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.)

6.		Other significant items influencing earnings performance comparisons.Other significant items influencing performance comparisons included:

2006

Second Quarter

	•		$2.6 million pre-tax ($0.01 earnings per share) negative impact from current period Unizan merger costs, which consisted primarily of retention bonuses and occupancy, outside programming services, and marketing expenses.

	•		$2.3 million pre-tax ($0.01 earnings per share) positive impact from equity investment gains.

First Quarter

•

$2.4 million pre-tax ($0.01 earnings per share) negative impact, reflecting a cumulative adjustment to defer annual fees related to home equity loans.

2005

Second Quarter

	•		$3.6 million pre-tax ($0.01 earnings per share) of severance and other expenses associated with the consolidation of certain operations functions, including the closing of an item-processing center in Michigan. These expenses included $2.0 million in severance-related personnel costs, $0.8 million in net occupancy, $0.5 million in equipment expenses, and $0.3 million in other expenses.

	•		$2.1 million pre-tax ($0.01 earnings per share) negative impact from the write-off of an equity investment.

First Quarter

•

$6.4 million pre-tax ($0.02 earnings per share) negative impact from a single, commercial credit charge-off. This resulted in an increase in net charge-offs and provision expense in that quarter.

Net Interest Income
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Factors 1, 3, and 6.)

2006 Second Quarter versus 2005 Second Quarter

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $21.3 million, or 9% ($17.7 million merger-related), from the year-ago quarter, reflecting the favorable impact of a $2.7 billion, or 9%, increase in average earning assets, as the fully taxable equivalent net interest margin declined two basis points to 3.34%. Average total loans and leases increased $1.7 billion, or 7%, nearly all of which was attributable to the Unizan merger. The remaining increase in average total loans and leases was $0.1 billion, essentially unchanged from the year-ago quarter, which primarily reflected growth in commercial loans, residential mortgages, and home equity loans, mostly offset by a decline in total average automobile loans and leases as we continued a program to sell a portion of that production.

Average total commercial loans increased $1.2 billion, or 12% ($0.8 billion merger-related). The $1.2 billion growth reflected a $0.6 billion, or 11%, increase in average middle market C&I loans, a $0.5 billion, or 13%, increase in average commercial real estate loans, and a $0.2 billion, or 10%, increase in average small business loans.

Average residential mortgages increased $0.5 billion, or 13% ($0.4 billion merger-related). Average home equity loans increased $0.2 billion, or 5%, substantially all from the Unizan merger.

Compared with the year-ago quarter, average total automobile loans and leases decreased $0.4 billion, or 9%, with the Unizan merger having no significant impact. The decrease reflected the combination of two factors: (1) the continuation of historically low production levels over this period from low consumer demand and competitive pricing, and (2) the sale of automobile loans as we continued a program of selling a portion of current loan production. Average operating lease assets declined $0.3 billion, or 63%, as this portfolio continued to run off. Total automobile loan and lease exposure at quarter end was 16%, down from 19% a year ago.

Average total investment securities increased $1.1 billion from the 2005 second quarter, attributed, in part, to the securities purchased in the 2006 first quarter related to Unizan.

Average total core deposits in the 2006 second quarter increased $1.9 billion, or 11% ($1.5 billion merger-related), from the year-ago quarter. Most of the $1.9 billion increase reflected higher average certificates of deposit less than $100,000, which increased $1.7 billion. The Unizan merger added $0.6 billion of certificates of deposit less than $100,000, with the remaining $1.1 billion of growth resulting from customer demand for higher, fixed rate deposit products. Average savings and other domestic time deposits declined $0.1 billion. Outflows from these accounts and into higher rate products, such as certificates of deposit less than $100,000, were greater than the $0.5 billion of savings account balances acquired in the Unizan merger. Average non-interest bearing and interest bearing demand deposits rose $0.2 billion and $0.1 billion, respectively. The Unizan merger added $0.2 billion of non-interest bearing demand deposits and $0.2 billion of interest bearing demand deposits.

2006 Second Quarter versus 2006 First Quarter

Compared with the 2006 first quarter, fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $18.7 million, or 8% ($11.8 million merger-related). This reflected a 6% increase in average total earnings assets, the benefit of one additional day in the current quarter, as well as a two basis point increase in the net interest margin to 3.34% from 3.32%. The prior quarter’s net interest margin was negatively impacted by about 3 basis points related to an adjustment for annual home equity loan fees.

Average total loans and leases increased $1.3 billion, or 5% ($1.1 billion merger-related), from the 2006 first quarter.

Average total commercial loans increased $0.8 billion, or 7% ($0.5 billion merger-related), from the 2006 first quarter. The $0.8 billion increase reflected a $0.3 billion, or 6%, increase in average middle market C&I loans, a $0.3 billion, or 16%, increase in average small business loans, and a $0.2 billion, or 4%, increase in average commercial real estate loans.

Average residential mortgages increased $0.3 billion, or 8%, and average home equity loans increased $0.2 billion, or 4%. Substantially all of the growth in these two categories of loans was merger-related. The growth rates in average residential mortgages and home equity loans were negatively impacted by a planned decline in broker-originated production, as well as credit underwriting and pricing discipline.

Compared with the 2006 first quarter, average total automobile loans and leases declined 2%, with the Unizan merger having no significant impact. The decline reflected a combination of factors including low demand for leases, as well as sales of a portion of automobile loan and lease production. Average direct financing leases declined $0.1 billion, or 6%. Though direct financing lease production increased 48% from the prior quarter, the absolute level of production over the last several quarters has remained at historically low levels due to continued low consumer demand and competitive pricing. In contrast, average automobile loans increased 3%. Automobile loan production increased 12% from the prior quarter and represented the second highest level of quarterly production in the last nine quarters. Average operating lease assets declined slightly as this portfolio continued to run off.

Average investment securities increased $0.4 billion from the 2006 first quarter, primarily merger-related.

Average total core deposits in the 2006 second quarter increased $1.0 billion, or 5%, from the prior quarter, all of which was attributable to Unizan. Average certificates of deposit less than $100,000 increased $0.6 billion, reflecting $0.4 billion merger-related and a shift of customer preferences for certificates of deposit less than $100,000 and out of savings and other time deposits. This shift reflected the same factors impacting comparisons to the year-ago quarter noted above. Average interest bearing and non-interest bearing demand deposits each increased $0.2 billion, or 3% and 5%, respectively, primarily merger-related, but also from initiatives targeted at growing these deposits.

⁽¹⁾		Fully taxable equivalent (FTE) yields are calculated assuming a 35% tax rate. See Table 1 for the FTE adjustment.

⁽³⁾		For purposes of this analysis, non-accrual loans are reflected in the average balances of loans.

2006 First Six Months versus 2005 First Six Months

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $30.8 million, or 6% ($23.6 million merger-related), from the year-ago six-month period. Earning assets grew $1.9 billion, or 7%, and the fully taxable equivalent net interest margin declined one basis points to 3.33%. Average total loans and leases increased $1.4 billion, or 6% ($1.1 billion merger-related). This primarily reflected growth in commercial loans, residential mortgages, and home equity loans, partly offset by a decline in total average automobile loans and leases as we continued to sell a portion of that production.

Average total commercial loans increased $1.0 billion, or 9% ($0.5 billion merger-related), from the year-ago six-month period. The $1.0 billion growth reflected a $0.5 billion, or 10%, increase in average middle market C&I loans, a $0.4 billion, or 11%, increase in average commercial real estate loans, and a $0.1 billion, or 4%, increase in average small business loans.

Average residential mortgages increased $0.5 billion, or 12% ($0.3 billion merger-related). Average home equity loans increased $0.2 billion, or 4%, ($0.1 billion merger-related).

Compared with the year-ago six-month period, average total automobile loans and leases decreased $0.3 billion, or 7%, with Unizan having no material impact. The decrease reflected the combination of two factors: (1) historically low production levels over this period due to low consumer demand and competitive pricing, and (2) sales of automobile loans as we continued selling a portion of current loan production. Average operating lease assets declined $0.3 billion, or 62%, as this portfolio continued to run off. Total automobile loan and lease exposure at quarter end was 16% of total loans and leases and operating lease assets, down from 19% a year ago.

Average total investment securities increased $0.7 billion from the 2005 first six-month period, attributed in part to the securities purchased in the 2006 first quarter related to Unizan.

Average total core deposits in the 2006 first six-month period increased $1.4 billion, or 8% ($1.0 billion merger-related), from the comparable year-ago period. Most of the $1.4 billion increase in average core deposits reflected a $1.6 billion increase ($0.4 billion merger-related) in average certificates of deposit less than $100,000, with the remaining $1.2 billion of growth resulting from customer demand for higher, fixed rate deposit products. Average savings and other domestic time deposits declined $0.2 billion, or 5%. Outflows from these accounts and into higher rate products, such as certificates of deposit less than $100,000, were greater than the $0.3 billion impact from savings account balances acquired in the Unizan merger. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits were up $0.2 billion, or 5%. Average interest-bearing demand deposits declined $0.1 billion, or 2%, despite a $0.2 billion impact of average interest-bearing demand deposits acquired in the Unizan merger.

Provision for Credit Losses

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Factors 1, 3, and 6, and the Credit Risk section.)

The provision for credit losses is the expense necessary to maintain the ALLL and the allowance for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit (AULC) at levels adequate to absorb our estimate of probable inherent credit losses in the loan and lease portfolio and the portfolio of unfunded loan commitments.

The provision for credit losses in the 2006 second quarter was $15.7 million, up $2.8 million from the year-ago quarter but down $3.8 million from the 2006 first quarter. For the first six months of 2006, the provision for credit losses was $35.3 million, up $2.5 million from the comparable year-ago period.

Non-Interest Income

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Factors 1, 2, 3, and 6.)

Table 7 reflects non-interest income detail for each of the past five quarters and for the first six months of 2006 and 2005.

Table 8 details mortgage banking income and the net impact of MSR hedging activity. We record MSR valuation changes in mortgage banking income, whereas MSR hedge-related trading activity was recorded in other non-interest income, as well as in net interest income. Striking a mortgage banking income sub-total before MSR valuation adjustments

provides a clearer understanding of the underlying trends in mortgage banking income associated with the primary business activities of origination, sales, and servicing. The net impact of MSR hedging analysis shows all of the MSR valuation changes and related hedging activity so that the net impact can be more easily seen, especially since the components are recorded in different income statement line items.

Mortgage banking income and the net impact of MSR hedging activities for each of the past five quarters and for the first six months of 2006 and 2005, was as follows:

⁽³⁾		The first quarter of 2006 reflects the adoption of Statement No. 156, which records MSRs at fair value. Prior periods reflect temporary impairment or recovery, based on accounting for MSRs at the lower of cost or market.

⁽⁴⁾		The change in fair value for the period presented in footnote 5 included both the MSR valuation adjustment and amortization of capitalized servicing.

2006 Second Quarter versus 2005 Second Quarter

Non-interest income increased $6.8 million, or 4%, from the year-ago quarter, despite a $23.2 million decline in operating lease income. That portfolio continued to run off since no automobile operating leases have been originated since April 2002. Non-interest income before operating lease income increased $30.1 million, or 25%, of which $7.2 million was merger-related. The drivers of the $30.1 million increase included:

	•		$22.7 million increase ($0.3 million merger-related) in mortgage banking income, reflecting an $18.5 million positive impact of MSR valuation adjustments as well as higher secondary marketing income in the current quarter.

	•		$5.7 million, or 14% ($1.6 million merger-related), increase in service charges on deposit accounts, reflecting a $4.7 million, or 18%, increase in personal service charges, primarily NSF/OD, and a $1.0 million, or 6%, increase in commercial service charge income.

	•		$3.6 million, or 19% ($1.7 million merger-related), increase in trust services income, reflecting (1) a $2.0 million increase in higher personal trust income, mostly merger-related, as managed assets increased 19%, (2) a $0.9 million increase in Huntington Fund fees reflecting 17% managed asset growth, and (3) a $0.6 million increase in institutional trust income due to higher servicing fees with less than one-third of the growth being merger-related.

	•		$1.8 million, or 16% ($0.3 million merger-related) increase in other service charges and fees, reflecting a $1.4 million, or 18%, increase in fees generated by higher debit card volume.

	•		$0.8 million, or 6% ($0.5 million merger-related), increase in brokerage and insurance income, reflecting higher brokerage income including a $1.3 million, or 21%, increase in annuity fee income as annuity sales volume increased 16%.

Partially offset by:

•

$5.6 million, or 22%, decline in other income, reflecting a $12.5 million negative impact in MSR hedge-related trading activities as the current quarter included a $6.7 million trading loss compared with a $5.7 million trading gain in the year-ago quarter. This negative impact was partially offset by a $3.0 million positive impact from higher equity investment gains, as well as a $2.1 million merger-related increase.

2006 Second Quarter versus 2006 First Quarter

Non-interest income increased $3.5 million, or 2%, from the 2006 first quarter. However, excluding the impact of a $4.5 million decline in operating lease income as that portfolio continued to run off, non-interest income before operating lease income increased $8.0 million, or 6% ($4.8 million merger-related). Contributing to the $8.0 million increase was:

	•		$6.0 million, or 15% ($1.1 million merger-related), increase in service charges on deposit accounts. This reflected a $4.7 million, or 18%, increase in personal service charges, primarily NSF/OD, and a $1.3 million, or 8%, increase in commercial service charges.

	•		$2.5 million, or 14% ($0.2 million merger-related), increase in mortgage banking income, reflecting a $2.9 million increase in secondary marketing income.

	•		$1.6 million, or 14% ($0.2 million merger-related), increase in other service charges and fees reflecting an increase in debit card fees.

	•		$1.4 million, or 7% ($1.1 million merger-related), increase in trust services income, reflecting (1) $0.8 million increase in personal trust income, all merger-related, (2) $0.3 million increase in Huntington Fund fees due to 3% growth in managed assets, and (3) $0.2 million increase in institutional trust servicing fees, primarily merger-related.

Partially offset by:

•

$3.0 million, or 14%, decline in other income, primarily reflecting the negative impact of a $2.1 million increase in MSR hedge-related trading losses, $1.5 million decline in other capital market-related income, and losses from low income housing tax credit investments in the current quarter, which were only partially offset by the benefit from a $1.4 million merger-related increase.

•

$0.8 million, or 6%, decline in brokerage and insurance income despite a $0.3 million positive merger-related impact, due primarily to lower insurance income, reflecting lower sales of an automobile loan insurance product.

2006 First Six Months versus 2005 First Six Months

Non-interest income declined $1.7 million from the year-ago six-month period, reflecting a $50.6 million decline in operating lease income. Non-interest income before operating lease income increased $48.9 million, or 20% ($9.6 million merger-related). The drivers of the $48.9 million increase included:

	•		$28.5 million increase ($0.3 million merger-related) in mortgage banking income, reflecting a $17.5 million positive impact of MSR valuation adjustments for the first six months of 2006, and a $6.5 million MSR temporary impairment in the year-ago period before hedge-related trading activity, as well as the positive impact of lower amortization of capitalized servicing and higher secondary marketing income.

	•		$7.5 million, or 9% ($2.1 million merger-related), increase in service charges on deposit accounts, reflecting a $7.1 million, or 14%, increase in personal service charges, primarily NSF/OD and volume related.

	•		$6.6 million, or 18% ($2.2 million merger-related), increase in trust services income, reflecting (1) a $3.3 million increase in higher personal trust income, (2) a $1.9 million increase in Huntington Fund fees, and (3) a $1.2 million increase in institutional trust income.

	•		$3.2 million, or 15% ($0.4 million merger-related), increase in other service charges and fees, reflecting a $2.6 million, or 17%, increase in fees generated by higher debit card volume.

	•		$3.0 million, or 11% ($0.6 million merger-related), increase in brokerage and insurance income, reflecting higher brokerage income including a $2.5 million, or 13%, increase in annuity fee income.

2006 Second Quarter versus 2005 Second Quarter

Non-interest expense increased $4.2 million, or 2%, from the year-ago quarter, despite an $18.1 million decline in operating lease expense as that portfolio continued to run off. Non-interest expense before operating lease expense increased $22.3 million, or 10%, from the year-ago quarter, with $20.6 million attributable to Unizan ($18.0 merger-related plus $2.6 million of merger costs). The primary drivers of the $22.3 million increase were:

•

$13.8 million, or 11%, increase in personnel expense with Unizan contributing $8.4 million of the increase ($7.7

			million merger-related plus $0.7 million of merger costs). The remaining increase of $5.3 million reflected an increase of $4.3 million due to the expensing of stock options, which began in 2006, and the annual merit increases for exempt employees, partially offset by personnel expense synergies resulting from the Unizan merger.

	•		$3.4 million, or 50%, higher marketing expense with Unizan contributing $0.9 million of the increase ($0.3 million merger-related plus $0.6 million of merger costs), due primarily to television commercial advertising, including up-front development costs incurred during the quarter.

	•		$2.8 million increase in the amortization of intangibles, all merger-related.

	•		$2.4 million, or 15%, increase in equipment expense with Unizan contributing $0.6 million of the increase, primarily merger-related, reflecting higher depreciation expense.

	•		$1.5 million, or 8%, increase in outside data processing and other services with Unizan contributing $1.2 million of the increase ($0.5 million merger-related plus $0.7 million of merger costs), reflecting higher debit card processing expense.

Partially offset by:

•

$3.1 million, or 33%, decline in professional services. Though Unizan added $1.6 million to current period expense ($1.5 million merger-related plus $0.1 million of merger costs), this was more than offset by lower consulting expense as the year-ago quarter included SEC and regulatory-related expenses, as well as other consulting costs.

2006 Second Quarter versus 2006 First Quarter

Non-interest expense increased $13.9 million, or 6%, from the 2006 first quarter despite a $3.8 million decline in operating lease expense as that portfolio continued to run off. Non-interest expense before operating lease expense increased $17.7 million, or 8%, with $13.6 million attributable to Unizan ($12.0 million merger-related and $1.6 million of merger-costs). The primary drivers of the $17.7 million increase included:

	•		$6.3 million, or 5%, increase in personnel costs with Unizan contributing $5.7 million of the increase ($5.2 million merger-related plus $0.5 million of merger costs). The remaining increase of $0.6 million reflected an increase due to annual merit increases for exempt employees effective March 1, partially offset by personnel expense synergies resulting from the Unizan merger.

	•		$3.4 million, or 21%, increase in other expense with Unizan contributing $2.1 million of the increase, primarily merger-related.

	•		$3.1 million, or 42%, higher marketing expense with Unizan contributing $0.6 million of the increase ($0.2 million merger-related plus $0.4 million of merger costs), due to television commercial costs.

	•		$1.9 million increase in amortization of intangibles, all merger-related.

	•		$1.5 million, or 9%, increase in equipment expense with Unizan contributing $0.4 million of the increase, primarily merger-related, reflecting higher depreciation expense associated with the upgrade of a number of operating and administrative systems.

2006 First Six Months versus 2005 First Six Months

Non-interest expense decreased $15.6 million, or 3%, from the year-ago six-month period, reflecting a $41.4 million decline in operating lease expense as that portfolio continued to run off. Non-interest expense before operating lease expense increased $25.8 million, or 6%, with $27.5 million attributable to Unizan ($23.9 million merger-related plus $3.7 million of merger costs). The primary drivers of the $25.8 million increase were:

•

$21.4 million, or 9%, increase in personnel expense with Unizan contributing $11.2 million of the increase ($10.3 million merger-related plus $0.9 million of merger costs). The remaining increase of $10.2 million reflected an increase of $8.5 million due to the expensing of stock options, which began in 2006, and the annual merit increases for exempt employees, partially offset by personnel expense synergies resulting from the Unizan merger.

	•		$4.9 million, or 38%, higher marketing expense with Unizan contributing $1.1 million of the increase ($0.4 million merger-related plus $0.7 million of merger costs), due primarily to 2006 second quarter television commercial advertising, including up-front development costs incurred in the period.

	•		$3.7 million increase in the amortization of intangibles, all merger-related.

	•		$3.0 million, or 10%, increase in equipment expense with Unizan contributing $0.7 million of the increase, primarily merger-related, reflecting higher depreciation expense.

	•		$2.5 million, or 7%, increase in outside data processing and other services with Unizan contributing $2.0 million of the increase ($0.7 million merger-related plus $1.3 million of merger costs), reflecting outside contract programming and debit card processing expense.

Partially offset by:

•

$7.1 million, or 38%, decline in professional services. Though Unizan added $2.1 million to 2006 six-month expense ($2.0 million merger-related plus $0.1 million of merger costs), this was more than offset by lower consulting expense as the year-ago period included $3.7 million of SEC and regulatory-related expenses, as well as a $3.6 million decline in other consulting and collections costs.

•

$2.6 million, or 7%, decline in other expenses despite the addition of $4.1 million of merger-related expenses. Reductions in other expense were recorded in lease residual value insurance (due to lower volumes), minority interest expense, OREO expenses, and franchise taxes.

Operating Lease Assets

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Factor 3 and Lease Residual Risk section.)

Operating lease assets primarily represent automobile leases originated before May 2002. This operating lease portfolio is running off over time since all automobile lease originations after April 2002 have been recorded as direct financing leases and are reported in the automobile loan and lease category in earning assets. As a result, the non-interest income and non-interest expense associated with the operating lease portfolio has declined.

Operating lease assets performance for each of the last five quarters and for the first six months of 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

2006 Second Quarter versus 2005 Second Quarter and 2006 First Quarter

Average operating lease assets in the 2006 second quarter were $0.2 billion, down $0.3 billion, or 63%, from the year-ago quarter and down 24% from the 2006 first quarter. This reflected the continued run-off of this portfolio as no new automobile operating leases have been originated since April 2002, and operating lease asset balances will continue to decline through both depreciation and lease terminations.(For a discussion of operating lease accounting, residual value loss determination, and related residual value insurance, see Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies and the Lease Residual Risk section of the Company’s 2005Form 10-K.)

Reflecting the continued run-off of automobile operating lease assets, the net earnings contribution from operating lease assets was $4.0 million in the 2006 second quarter, down $5.2 million, or 56%, from the year-ago quarter and down $0.7 million, or 15%, from the 2006 first quarter.

Operating lease income, which totaled $14.9 million in the 2006 second quarter, represented 9% of total non-interest income in the quarter. Operating lease income was down $23.2 million, or 61%, from the year-ago quarter and $4.5 million, or 23%, from the 2006 first quarter, reflecting the declines in average operating lease assets. Net rental income was down 61% and 24%, respectively, from the year-ago and 2006 first quarters. Fees declined 62% from the year-ago quarter and 9% from the prior quarter. Recoveries from early terminations decreased 55% from the year-ago quarter and 30% from the 2006 first quarter.

Operating lease expense totaled $10.8 million and represented 4% of total non-interest expense in the current quarter. Operating lease expense was down $18.1 million, or 63%, from the year-ago quarter and down $3.8 million, or 26%, from the 2006 first quarter. Losses on early terminations, which are included in total operating lease expense, declined 75% from the year-ago quarter and 51% from the prior quarter.

2006 First Six Months versus 2005 First Six Months

Average operating lease assets in the 2006 first six-month period were $0.2 billion, down $0.3 billion, or 62% from the comparable year-ago period as this portfolio continued to run-off. Reflecting this decline in average operating lease assets, the net earnings contribution from operating lease assets was $8.8 million in the 2006 first six-month period, down $9.2 million, or 51%, from the comparable year-ago period.

Operating lease income, which totaled $34.2 million for the 2006 first six-month period, represented 11% of total non-interest income, and was down $50.6 million, or 60%, from the comparable year-ago period. Net rental income was down $47.2 million, or 60%. Fees declined $2.2 million, or 61%, from the comparable year-ago period. Recoveries from early terminations were down 37% from the year-ago period. Operating lease expense totaled $25.4 million, down $41.4 million, or 62%, from the comparable year-ago six-month period.

Provision for Income Taxes

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Factor 4.)

The provision for income taxes in the 2006 second quarter was $45.5 million and represented an effective tax rate on income before taxes of 29.0%. The provision for income taxes increased $14.9 million from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to an increase in pre-tax earnings and the recognition of the effect of federal tax refunds on income tax expense in the 2005 second quarter. The effective tax rate in the year-ago quarter was 22.3%, and included the after tax positive impact on net income due to a federal tax loss carryback.

In the ordinary course of business, we operate in various taxing jurisdictions and are subject to income and non-income taxes. The effective tax rate is based in part on our interpretation of the relevant current tax laws. We believe the aggregate liabilities related to taxes are appropriately reflected in the consolidated financial statements. We review the appropriate tax treatment of all transactions taking into consideration statutory, judicial, and regulatory guidance in the context of our tax positions. In addition, we rely on various tax opinions, recent tax audits, and historical experience.

The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining our federal tax returns for the years 2002 and 2003 and the 2003 federal income tax return for Unizan. In addition, we are subject to ongoing tax examinations in various jurisdictions. We believe that the resolution of these examinations will not have a significant adverse impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL

Risk identification and monitoring are key elements in overall risk management. We believe our primary risk exposures are credit, market, liquidity, and operational risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in the borrower’s ability to meet their financial obligations under agreed upon terms. Market risk represents the risk of loss due to changes in the market value of assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates, residual values, and equity prices. Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that funds may not be available to satisfy current or future commitments based on external macro market issues, investor perception of financial strength, and events unrelated to the company such as war, terrorism, or financial institution market specific issues. Operational risk arises from the inherent day-to-day operations of the company that could result in losses due to human error, inadequate or failed internal systems and controls, and external events.

We follow a formal policy to identify, measure, and document the key risks facing the company, how those risks can be controlled or mitigated, and how we monitor the controls to ensure that they are effective. Our chief risk officer is responsible for ensuring that appropriate systems of controls are in place for managing and monitoring operational risk across the company. Potential risk concerns are shared with the board of directors, as appropriate. Our internal audit department performs ongoing independent reviews of the risk management process and ensures the adequacy of documentation. The results of these reviews are reported regularly to the audit committee of the board of directors.

Some of the more significant processes used to manage and control credit, market, liquidity, and operational risks are described in the following paragraphs.

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. We are 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 our 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.

The maximum level of credit exposure to individual commercial borrowers is limited by policy guidelines based on the risk of default associated with the credit facilities extended to each borrower or related group of borrowers. All authority to grant commitments is delegated through the independent credit administration function and is monitored and regularly updated in a centralized database. Concentration risk is managed via limits on loan type, geography, industry, loan quality factors, and country limits. We have focused on extending credit to commercial customers with existing or expandable relationships within our primary markets.

The checks and balances in the credit process and the independence of the credit administration and risk management functions are designed to accurately assess the level of credit risk being accepted, facilitate the early recognition of credit problems when they do occur, and provide for effective problem asset management and resolution.

Credit Exposure Mix

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Factors 3 and 6.)

An overall corporate objective is to avoid undue portfolio concentrations. As shown in Table 11, at June 30, 2006, total credit exposure was $26.5 billion. Of this amount, $14.3 billion, or 54%, represented total consumer loans and leases, $12.0 billion, or 45%, represented total commercial loans and leases, and $0.1 billion, or less than 1%, represented operating lease assets.

Commercial Credit

Commercial credit approvals are based on the financial strength of the borrower, assessment of the borrower’s management capabilities, industry sector trends, type of exposure, transaction structure, and the general economic outlook. While these are the primary factors considered, there are a number of other factors that may be considered in the decision process. There are two processes for approving credit risk exposures. The first involves a centralized loan approval process for the standard products and structures utilized in small business lending. In this centralized decision environment, individual credit authority is granted to certain individuals on a regional basis to preserve our local decision-making focus. The second, and more prevalent approach, involves individual approval of exposures. These approvals are consistent with the authority delegated to officers located in the geographic regions who are experienced in the industries and loan structures over which they have responsibility.

All C&I and CRE credit extensions are assigned internal risk ratings reflecting the borrower’s probability-of-default and loss-in-event-of-default. This two-dimensional rating methodology, which has 192 individual loan grades, provides granularity in the portfolio management process. The probability-of-default is rated on a scale of 1-12 and is applied at the borrower level. The loss-in-event-of-default is rated on a 1-16 scale and is associated with each individual credit exposure based on the type of credit extension and the underlying collateral.

In commercial lending, ongoing credit management is dependent on the type and nature of the loan. In general, quarterly monitoring is normal for all significant exposures. The internal risk ratings are revised and updated with each periodic monitoring event. There is also extensive macro portfolio management analysis on an ongoing basis to continually update default probabilities and to estimate future losses.

In addition to the initial credit analysis initiated by the portfolio manager during the underwriting process, the loan review group performs independent credit reviews. The loan review group reviews individual loans and credit processes and conducts a portfolio review at each of the regions on a 15-month cycle, and the loan review group validates the risk grades on a minimum of 50% of the portfolio exposure.

Borrower exposures may be designated as “watch list” accounts when warranted by individual company performance, or by industry and environmental factors. Such accounts are subjected to additional quarterly reviews by the business line Management, the loan review group, and credit administration in order to adequately assess the borrower’s credit status and to take appropriate action.

A specialized credit workout group manages problem credits and handles commercial recoveries, workouts, and problem loan sales, as well as the day-to-day management of relationships rated substandard or lower. The group is responsible for developing an action plan, assessing the risk rating, and determining the adequacy of the reserve, the accrual status, and the ultimate collectibility of the credits managed.

Consumer Credit

Consumer credit approvals are based on, among other factors, the financial strength of the borrower, type of exposure, and the transaction structure. Consumer credit decisions are generally made in a centralized environment utilizing decision models. There is also individual credit authority granted to certain individuals on a regional basis to preserve our local decision-making focus. Each credit extension is assigned a specific probability-of-default and loss-in-event-of-default. The probability-of-default is generally a function of the borrower’s credit bureau score, while the loss-in-event-of-default is related to the type of collateral and the loan-to-value ratio associated with the credit extension.

In consumer lending, credit risk is managed from a loan type and vintage performance analysis. All portfolio segments are continuously monitored for changes in delinquency trends and other asset quality indicators. We make extensive use of portfolio assessment models to continuously monitor the quality of the portfolio and identify under-performing segments. This information is then incorporated into future origination strategies. The independent risk management group has a consumer process review component to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the consumer credit processes.

Home equity loans and lines consist of both first and second position collateral with underwriting criteria based on minimum FICO credit scores, debt/income ratios, and loan-to-value ratios. We offer closed-end, home equity loans with a fixed rate and level monthly payments and a variable-rate, interest-only home equity line of credit. At June 30, 2006, we had $1.4 billion of home equity loans and $3.5 billion of home equity lines of credit. The average loan-to-value ratio of our home equity portfolio (both loans and lines) was 80% at June 30, 2006. We do not originate home equity loans or lines that (a) allow negative amortization, (b) have a loan-to-value ratio at origination greater than 100%, or (c) are “option ARMs.” Home equity loans are generally fixed-rate with periodic principal and interest payments. We originated $179 million of home equity loans in the second quarter 2006 with a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 64% and a weighted average FICO score of 739. Home equity lines of credit generally have variable-rates of interest and do not require payment of principal during the 10-year revolving period of the line. During the second quarter of 2006, we originated $437 million of home equity lines. The lines of credit originated during the quarter had a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 75% and a weighted average FICO score of 742.

At June 30, 2006, we had $4.7 billion of residential real estate loans. Adjustable-rate mortgages, primarily mortgages that have a fixed-rate for the first 3 to 5 years and then adjust annually, comprised 65% of this portfolio. We do not originate residential mortgage loans that (a) allow negative amortization, (b) have a loan-to-value ratio at origination greater than 100%, or (c) are “option ARMs,” i.e., can be adjustable rate at the option of the customer. Interest-only loans comprised $0.9 billion of residential real estate loans at June 30, 2006. Interest only loans are underwritten to specific standards including minimum FICO credit scores, stressed debt-to-income ratios, and extensive collateral evaluation.

Collection action is initiated on an “as needed” basis through a centrally managed collection and recovery function. The collection group employs a series of collection methodologies designed to maintain a high level of effectiveness while maximizing efficiency. In addition to the retained consumer loan portfolio, the collection group is responsible for collection activity on all sold and securitized consumer loans and leases.(See the Non-performing Assets section of Credit Risk, for further information regarding when consumer loans are placed on non-accrual status and when the balances are charged-off to the allowance for loan and lease losses.)

Non-Performing Assets (NPAs)

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Factor 1.)

NPAs consist of loans and leases that are no longer accruing interest, loans and leases that have been renegotiated to below market rates based upon financial difficulties of the borrower, and real estate acquired through foreclosure. C&I, CRE, and small business loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when collection of principal or interest is in doubt or when the loan is 90-days past due. When interest accruals are suspended, accrued interest income is reversed with current year accruals charged to earnings and prior-year amounts generally charged-off as a credit loss.

Consumer loans and leases, excluding residential mortgages and home equity lines and leases, are not placed on non-accrual status but are charged-off in accordance with regulatory statutes, which is generally no more than 120-days past due. Residential mortgages and home equity loans and lines, while highly secured, are placed on non-accrual status within 180-days past due as to principal and 210-days past due as to interest, regardless of collateral. A charge-off on a residential mortgage loan is recorded when the loan has been foreclosed and the loan balance exceeds the fair value of the real estate. The fair value of the collateral, less the cost to sell, is then recorded as real estate owned.

When we believe the borrower’s ability and intent to make periodic interest and principal payments resume and collectibility is no longer in doubt, the loan is returned to accrual status.

Table 12 reflects period-end NPAs and past due loans and leases detail for each of the last five quarters.

NPAs were $171.1 million at June 30, 2006, and represented 0.65% of related assets, up $73.7 million from $97.4 million, or 0.40% of related assets, at the end of the year-ago quarter, and up $16.2 million from $154.9 million, or 0.59% of related assets, at March 31, 2006. The increase from March 31, 2006, reflected a $16.4 million increase in other real estate owned (OREO) and included $12.6 million due to a reclassification of foreclosed mortgage loans fully guaranteed by the U.S. government from over 90-day delinquent but still accruing loans. We service mortgage loans for GNMA. When loans sold to GNMA meet delinquency parameters specified by GNMA, we may repurchase them and begin foreclosure. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (FAS) No. 140, such loans that are eligible for repurchase are recorded as loans on the balance sheet. When those loans are foreclosed, such loans are then recorded as OREO. This change in the reporting for GNMA-guaranteed OREO also accounted for the $12.5 million increase in total NPAs guaranteed by the U.S. government, from $18.3 million at the end of the 2006 first quarter to $30.7 million.

NPLs, which exclude OREO, increased $51.4 million from the year-earlier period to $135.3 million at June 30, 2006, with $33.8 million representing NPLs acquired in the Unizan merger. NPLs declined slightly from March 31, 2006. NPLs expressed as a percent of total loans and leases were 0.51% at June 30, 2006, up from 0.34% a year earlier, but down slightly from 0.52% at March 31, 2006.

The over 90-day delinquent, but still accruing, ratio was 0.19% at June 30, 2006, down from 0.22% at the end of the year-ago quarter, and from 0.20% at March 31, 2006, with these declines reflecting the reclassification of GNMA-guaranteed foreclosed OREO noted above. Over the last five quarters, the 90-day delinquency ratio has been relatively stable and remained at a low relative level compared with the last five-year period.

Non-performing asset activity for each of the past five quarters ended June 30, 2006, and for the first six months of 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

Allowances for Credit Losses (ACL)

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Factors 1 and 6.)

We maintain 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 and letters of credit (AULC). When summed together, these reserves constitute the total ACL. Our credit administration group is responsible for developing the methodology and determining the adequacy of the ACL.

The ALLL represents the estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Additions to the ALLL result from recording provision expense for loan losses or recoveries, while reductions reflect charge-offs, net of recoveries, or the sale of loans. The AULC is determined by applying the transaction reserve process to the unfunded portion of the portfolio adjusted by an applicable funding percentage.

We have an established process to determine the adequacy of the ACL that relies on a number of analytical tools and benchmarks. No single statistic or measurement, in itself, determines the adequacy of the allowance. For determination purposes, the allowance is comprised of two components: the transaction reserve and the economic reserve.

Transaction Reserve

The transaction reserve component of the ACL includes both (a) an estimate of loss based on characteristics of each commercial and consumer loan or lease in the portfolio and (b) an estimate of loss based on an impairment review of each loan greater than $500,000 that is considered to be impaired.

For middle market C&I, middle market CRE, and small business loans, the estimate of loss based on characteristics of each loan made through the use of a standardized loan grading system that is applied on an individual loan level and updated on a continuous basis. The reserve factors applied to these portfolios were developed based on internal credit migration models that track historical movements of loans between loan ratings over time and a combination of long-term average loss experience of our own portfolio and external industry data.

In the case of more homogeneous portfolios, such as consumer loans and leases, and residential mortgage loans, the determination of the transaction component is conducted at an aggregate, or pooled, level. For such portfolios, the development of the reserve factors includes the use of forecasting models to measure inherent loss in these portfolios.

We analyze each middle market C&I, middle market CRE, or small business loan over $500,000 for impairment when the loan is non-performing or has a grade of substandard or lower. The impairment tests are done in accordance with applicable accounting standards and regulations. For loans that are determined to be impaired, an estimate of loss is made for the amount of the impairment.

Models and analyses are updated frequently to capture the recent behavioral characteristics of the subject portfolios, as well as any changes in the loss mitigation or credit origination strategies. Adjustments to the reserve factors are made as needed based on observed results of the portfolio analytics.

Economic Reserve

Changes in the economic environment are a significant judgmental factor we consider in determining the appropriate level of the ACL. The economic reserve incorporates our determination of the impact of risks associated with the general economic environment on the portfolio. The economic reserve is designed to address economic uncertainties and is determined based on a variety of economic factors that are correlated to the historical performance of the loan portfolio. Because of this more quantitative approach to recognizing risks in the general economy, the economic reserve may fluctuate from period-to-period.

The methodology to determine the economic reserve is specifically tied to economic indices that have a high correlation to our historic charge-off variability. The indices currently in the model consist of the Real Consumer Spending, Consumer Confidence, ISM Manufacturing Index, and Non-Agriculture Job Creation in our core states of Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, and Indiana. The indices and time frame may be adjusted as actual portfolio performance changes over time. The indices were changed during the first quarter of 2006. The changes did not have a material impact in the calculation. We have the capability to judgmentally adjust the calculated economic reserve amount by a maximum of +/– 20% to reflect, among other factors, differences in local versus national economic conditions. This adjustment capability is deemed necessary given the continuing uncertainty of forecasting economic environment changes.

This methodology allows for a more meaningful discussion of our view of the current economic conditions and the potential impact on credit losses. The continued use of quantitative methodologies for the transaction reserve and the introduction of the quantitative methodology for the economic component may have the impact of more period-to-period fluctuation in the absolute and relative level of the reserve than exhibited in prior-period results.

The June 30, 2006, ALLL was $287.5 million, $32.7 million higher than $254.8 million a year earlier, and $3.7 million higher than $283.8 million at March 31, 2006. Expressed as a percent of period-end loans and leases, the ALLL ratio at June 30, 2006, was 1.09%, up from 1.04% a year ago, but unchanged from March 31, 2006.

The ALLL as a percent of NPLs was 213% at June 30, 2006, down from 304% a year ago, but up from 209% at March 31, 2006. The ALLL as a percent of NPAs was 168% at June 30, 2006, down from 262% a year ago, and from

183% at March 31, 2006. At June 30, 2006, the AULC was $38.9 million, up from $37.5 million at the end of the year-ago quarter, but down slightly from March 31, 2006.

On a combined basis, the ACL as a percent of total loans and leases at June 30, 2006, was 1.24%, up from 1.19% a year ago, but unchanged from March 31, 2006. The ACL as a percent of NPAs was 191% at June 30, 2006, down from 300% a year earlier and 209% at March 31, 2006.

2006 Second Quarter versus 2005 Second Quarter and 2006 First Quarter

Total net charge-offs for the 2006 second quarter were $14.0 million, or an annualized 0.21% of average total loans and leases. This was down from $16.3 million, or an annualized 0.27%, in the year-ago quarter. It was also down from $24.2 million, or an annualized 0.39%, of average total loans and leases in the 2006 first quarter, with 11 basis points of the decrease in the net charge-off ratio, or $6.5 million, related to the 2006 first quarter resolution of certain commercial loans that were classified as NPLs. Reserves were established for these commercial loans in the 2005 fourth quarter.

Total commercial net charge-offs in the second quarter were $3.4 million, or an annualized 0.12%, down $2.1 million from $5.6 million, or an annualized 0.21%, in the year-ago quarter. Compared with the 2006 first quarter, current period total commercial net charge-offs decreased $7.1 million, reflecting the resolution of $6.5 million of loans classified as NPLs in the 2005 fourth quarter noted above.

Total consumer net charge-offs in the current quarter were $10.5 million, or an annualized 0.30% of average related loans, down slightly from $10.7 million, or 0.31%, in the year-ago quarter. Compared with the 2006 first quarter, total consumer net charge-offs decreased $3.1 million from $13.7 million, or an annualized 0.40% of average related loans.

2006 First Six Months versus 2005 First Six Months

Total net charge-offs for the first six months of 2006 were $38.2 million, or an annualized 0.30% of average total loans and leases. This was down $6.4 million, or 14%, from $44.5 million, or an annualized 0.37%, in the comparable year-ago period.

Total commercial net charge-offs in the first six-month period of 2006 were $14.0 million, or an annualized 0.24%, down from $21.8 million, or 0.41%, in the year-ago period.

Total consumer net charge-offs in the current six-month period were $24.2 million, or an annualized 0.34% of related loans, up from $22.8 million in the year-ago period. While the dollar amount of total consumer net charge-offs increased 6% from the comparable year-ago period, on a relative basis, consumer net charge-offs were unchanged from the annualized 0.34% ratio a year ago. The increase in the dollar amount of total consumer net charge-offs from the year-ago period primarily reflected higher net charge-offs in the other loan category and higher residential mortgage net charge-offs, partially offset by lower automobile loan and lease net charge-offs. Other loan net charge-offs in the current six-month period were $4.0 million, or an annualized 1.35% of related loans, up from $2.9 million, or 1.18%, in the year-ago period, and residential mortgage net charge-offs were $1.4 million, or an annualized 0.06% of related loans, up from $0.9 million, or 0.04% in the year-ago period. Total automobile loan and lease net charge-offs in the 2006 six-month period were $9.4 million, or an annualized 0.45% of related loans and leases, down 6% from $10.0 million, or 0.44%, in the year-ago six-month period.

Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss due to changes in market values of assets and liabilities. We incur market risk in the normal course of business through exposures to market interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, credit spreads, and expected lease residual values. We have identified two primary sources of market risk: interest rate risk and price risk. Interest rate risk is our primary market risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk results from timing differences in the repricings and maturities of assets and liabilities, and changes in relationships between market interest rates and the yields on assets and rates on liabilities, as well as from the impact of embedded options, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay residential mortgage loans at any time and depositors’ ability to terminate CDs before maturity.

Our board of directors establishes broad policy limits with respect to interest rate risk. Our Market Risk Committee (MRC) establishes specific operating guidelines within the parameters of the board of directors’ policies. In general, we seek to minimize the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the economic values of assets and liabilities. Our MRC regularly monitors the level of interest rate risk sensitivity to ensure compliance with board of directors approved risk limits.

Interest rate risk management is a dynamic process that encompasses monitoring loan and deposit flows, investment and funding activities, and assessing the impact of the changing market and business environments. 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.

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 time 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 sensitivity analysis because both have attributes similar to fixed-rate interest earning assets. The economic value of equity (EVE) is calculated by subjecting the period-end balance sheet to changes in interest rates, and measuring the impact of the changes on the values of the assets and liabilities. EVE serves as a complement to income simulation modeling as it provides risk exposure estimates for time periods beyond the one-year simulation horizon. Similar to income simulation modeling, EVE analysis includes the risks of bank owned life insurance. EVE also considers the value sensitivity of the mortgage servicing asset and associated hedges.

The models used for these measurements take into account prepayment speeds on mortgage loans, mortgage-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 derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, floors, and other types of interest rate options, and account for changes in relationships among interest rates (basis risk).

During the second quarter of 2006, we completed a review of the behavior of our core deposits, given current market conditions, including the level of interest rates and competitive forces. The review was designed to improve our understanding of the rate responsiveness and balance runoff characteristics of these deposits. The review resulted in changes in assumptions regarding the projected rate responsiveness and balance behaviors of non-maturity deposits that are critical inputs to our asset-liability model. In general, we have concluded that the average lives of certain types of deposits are likely to be modestly shorter in the future than in the past. In addition, we believe that the responsiveness of deposit rates to changes in market interest rates will be higher in both rising and declining rate environments than it had been assumed to be previously. The changes in deposit assumptions resulted in a modeled increase in both NII and EVE exposures to rising rates.

The baseline scenario for income simulation analysis, with which all other scenarios are compared, is based on 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 (e.g., 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, 2006 and March 31, 2006.

Basis point change scenario	-200			-100			+100			+200

March 31, 2006		-1.5	%		-0.5	%		+0.2	%		+0.3	%

The primary simulations for EVE risk assume an immediate and parallel increase in rates of +/- 100 and +/- 200 basis points beyond any interest rate change implied by the current yield curve. The table below outlines the results compared to the previous quarter.

Price Risk

Price risk represents the risk of loss arising from adverse movements in the prices of financial instruments that are carried at fair value and are subject to mark-to-market accounting. We have price risk from trading securities, which includes instruments to hedge MSRs. We also have price risk from securities owned through our broker-dealer activities, the foreign exchange positions, investments in private equity limited partnerships and marketable equity securities held by our insurance subsidiaries. We have established loss limits on the trading portfolio and on the amount of foreign exchange exposure that can be maintained and the amount of marketable equity securities that can be held by the insurance subsidiaries.

Liquidity Risk

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. Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that funds may not be available to satisfy current or future commitments based on external macro market issues, asset and liability activities, investor perception of financial strength, and events unrelated to the company such as war, terrorism, or financial institution market specific issues.

Liquidity policies and limits are established by our board of directors, with operating limits set by our Market Risk Committee (MRC), based upon analyses of the ratio of loans to deposits, the percentage of assets funded with non-core or wholesale funding and the amount of liquid assets available to cover non-core funds maturities. In addition, guidelines are established to ensure diversification of wholesale funding by type, source, and maturity and provide sufficient balance sheet liquidity to cover 100% of wholesale funds maturing within a six-month time period. A contingency funding plan is in place, which includes forecasted sources and uses of funds under various scenarios in order to prepare for unexpected liquidity shortages, including the implications of any rating changes. Our MRC meets monthly to identify and monitor liquidity issues, provide policy guidance, and oversee adherence to, and the maintenance of, an evolving contingency funding plan. We believe that sufficient liquidity exists to meet the funding needs of the Bank and the parent company.

Cash taxes paid for 2005 and projected for 2006 are in excess of the provision for income taxes as a result of lower lease volume, which negatively impacts the benefits of the like-kind exchange program in deferring taxable gains.

Credit Ratings

Credit ratings by the three major credit rating agencies are an important component of our 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 our 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.(See the Liquidity Risks section in Part 1 of the 2005Form 10-K for additional discussion.)

Credit ratings as of June 30, 2006, for the parent company and the Bank were:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we enter 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, and are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Standby letters of credit are included in the determination of the amount of risk-based capital that we, and the Bank, are required to hold.

Table 22 provides certain information about our standby letters of credit:

Carrying amount of deferred revenue		3.6			5.3			4.0			3.7			3.2


⁽¹⁾		Revenue is in other non-interest income on the consolidated statement of income.

We enter into forward contracts relating to the mortgage banking business. At June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, and June 30, 2005, we had commitments to sell residential real estate loans of $341.5 million, $348.3 million, and $534.3 million, respectively. These contracts mature in less than one year.

Through our credit process, we monitor 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. We do not believe that off-balance sheet arrangements will have a material impact on our liquidity or capital resources.

Operational Risk

As with all companies, there is risk inherent in the day-to-day operations that could result in losses due to human error, inadequate or failed internal systems and controls, and external events. Our Risk Management Group through a combination of business units and centralized processes, has the responsibility to manage the risk for the company through a process that assesses the overall level of risk on a regular basis and identifies specific risks and the steps being taken to control them. Furthermore, a system of committees is established to provide guidance over the process and escalate potential concerns to senior Management on the Operational Risk Committee, executive Management on the Risk Management Committee and the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors, as appropriate.

We continue to develop and enhance policies and procedures to control the elements of risk found in our processes. While we are not able to eliminate risk completely, our goal is to minimize the impact of a risk event and to be prepared to cover the result of it through insurance, earnings, and capital.

Certain overarching operational risk activities are performed by an enterprise risk group. These include monitoring adherence to corporate policies governing risk, business continuity programs to assure that operations to serve our customers continue during emergency situations, and information security to monitor and address electronic and sensitive information threats for the company.

Capital

Capital is managed both at the Bank and on a consolidated basis. Capital levels are maintained based on regulatory capital requirements and the economic capital required to support credit, market, liquidity, and operational risks inherent in our business, and to provide the flexibility needed for future growth and new business opportunities. We place 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 we continually strive to maintain an appropriate balance between capital adequacy and providing attractive returns to shareholders.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $2.9 billion at June 30, 2006. This balance represented a $381.7 million increase from December 31, 2005. The growth in shareholders’ equity resulted from the shares issued pursuant to the acquisition of Unizan of $575.8 million; retention of net income after dividends declared to shareholders, netting to $95.0 million; $12.1 million for the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for servicing financial assets; and $17.3 million as a result of stock options exercised, partially offset by the impact of shares repurchased of $303.9 million, and by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $22.0 million. The decline in accumulated other comprehensive income resulted from an increase in unrealized net losses on investment securities at June 30, 2006, compared with December 31, 2005.

We evaluate several measures of capital, along with the customary three primary regulatory ratios: Tier 1 Risk-based Capital, Total Risk-based Capital, and Tier 1 Leverage.

The Federal Reserve Board sets minimum capital ratio requirements for bank holding companies. In the calculation of the 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. Our Tier 1 Risk-based Capital, Total Risk-based Capital, Tier 1 Leverage ratios and risk-adjusted assets for the past five quarters are shown in Table 23 and were well in excess of minimum levels established for “well capitalized” institutions of 6.00%, 10.00%, and 5.00%, respectively.

The Bank is primarily supervised and regulated by the OCC, which establishes regulatory capital guidelines for banks similar to those established for bank holding companies by the Federal Reserve Board. At June 30, 2006, the Bank had regulatory capital ratios in excess of “well capitalized” regulatory minimums.

At June 30, 2006, the tangible equity to assets ratio was 6.46%, down from 7.36% a year ago and from 6.97% at March 31, 2006. At June 30, 2006, the tangible equity to risk-weighted assets ratio was 7.29%, down from 8.05% at the end of the year-ago quarter and from 7.80% at March 31, 2006. Share repurchases caused a decline in the tangible equity to asset ratio of 138 and 53 basis points from the second quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, respectively. The issuance of capital for the Unizan merger did not have a significant impact on this ratio.

During the quarter, 8.1 million shares of common stock were repurchased in the open market, leaving 6.9 million shares available for purchase under the 15 million share repurchase authorization announced April 20, 2006. All purchases under the current authorization will be made from time-to-time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions depending on market conditions.

On April 20, 2006, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.25 per common share payable July 3, 2006, to shareholders of record on June 16, 2006. Subsequent to the end of the 2006 second quarter, on July 18, 2006, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.25 per common share, payable October 2, 2006, to shareholders of record on September 15, 2006.

ESTIMATING THE FINANCIAL IMPACT DUE TO THE UNIZAN MERGER

Given the impact of the merger on reported 2006 results, management believes that an understanding of the impacts of the merger is necessary to better understand underlying performance trends. When comparing post-merger period results to pre-merger periods, two terms relating to the impact of the Unizan merger on reported results are used:

	•		“Merger-related” refers to amounts and percentage changes representing the impact attributable to the merger.

	•		“Merger costs” represent expenses associated with merger integration activities.

The following methodology has been implemented to estimate the approximate effect of the Unizan merger used to determine “merger-related” impacts.

Balance Sheet Items

For loans and leases, as well as core deposits, balances as of the acquisition date are pro-rated to the post-merger period being used in the comparison. To estimate the impact on 2006 first quarter average balances, one-third of the closing date balance was used as those balances were in reported results for only one month of the quarter. Full quarter and year-to-date estimated impacts for subsequent periods were developed using this same pro-rata methodology.

Income Statement Items

For income statement line items, Unizan’s actual full year results for 2005 were used for pro-rating the impact on post-merger periods. For example, to estimate the 2006 first quarter impact of the merger on personnel costs, one-twelfth of Unizan’s full-year 2005 personnel costs was used. Full quarter and year-to-date estimated impacts for subsequent periods were developed using this same pro-rata methodology. This results in an approximate impact since the methodology does not adjust for any unusual items or seasonal factors in Unizan’s 2005 reported results, or synergies realized since the merger date. The one exception to this methodology relates to the amortization of intangibles expense where the actual post-merger amount was used.

Table 25 provides detail of changes to selected reported results to quantify the impact of the Unizan merger and the impact of all other factors using this methodology:

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 of Operations and other sections for a full understanding of consolidated financial performance.

We have three distinct lines of business: Regional Banking, Dealer Sales, and the Private Financial and Capital Markets Group (PFCMG). A fourth segment includes our Treasury function and other unallocated assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense. Lines of business results are determined based upon our management reporting system, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the business segments. The process is designed around our organizational and management structure and, accordingly, the results derived are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions. An overview of this system is provided below, along with a description of each segment and discussion of financial results.

Use of Operating Earnings to Measure Segment Performance

We use 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 the significant items. Analyzing earnings on an operating basis is very helpful in assessing underlying performance trends, a critical factor used to determine the success of strategies and future earnings capabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, operating earnings were the same as reported GAAP earnings.

Funds Transfer Pricing

We use 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). Deposits of an indeterminate maturity receive an FTP credit based on vintage-based pool rate. Other assets, liabilities, and capital are charged (credited) with a four-year moving average FTP rate. 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 and management of interest rate and liquidity risk in Treasury/Other where it can be monitored and managed.

Regional Banking

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Factors 1, 2, and 6.)

Objectives, Strategies, and Priorities

Our Regional Banking line of business provides traditional banking products and services to consumer, small business, and commercial customers located in its eight operating regions within the five states of Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Indiana, and Kentucky. It provides these services through a banking network of 370 branches, over 1,000 ATMs, plus on-line 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. For the first six-month period of 2006, Retail Banking accounted for 59% and 79% of total Regional Banking average loans and deposits, respectively. Commercial Banking serves middle market 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.

We have a business model that emphasizes the delivery of a complete set of banking products and services offered by larger banks, but distinguished by local decision-making with regard to price and terms of these products. Our strategy has been to focus on building a deeper relationship with our customers by providing “Simply the Best” service experience. This focus on service requires state-of-the-art platform technology in our branches, award-winning retail and business websites for our customers, extensive development of our associates, and internal processes that empower our local bankers to serve our customers better. We expect the combination of local decision-making and “Simply the Best” service will continue to improve our competitive position and drive revenue and earnings growth.

2006 First Six Months versus 2005 First Six Months

Regional Banking contributed $170.7 million, or 79%, of our net operating earnings for the first six months of 2006, up $35.8 million, or 27%, from the comparable year-ago period. This improved performance primarily reflected a $79.8 million, or 15%, increase in fully taxable equivalent revenue. Non-interest income increased $23.1 million, or 16%, from the year-ago period. Non-interest expense increased $20.5 million, or 7%, from the year-ago six month period. Regional Banking’s ROA was 1.73%, up from 1.50% in first half of 2005, with a ROE of 31.6%, up from 27.4% in the comparable year-ago six-month period.

Fully taxable equivalent revenue grew $79.8 million, or 15%, from the year-ago six-month period, primarily reflecting a 15% increase in net interest income. This reflected a higher net interest margin and growth in loans and deposits, principally as a result of the Unizan merger. The net interest margin in the first six-month period was 4.66%, up 21 basis points, from 4.45% in the comparable year-ago period, primarily reflecting the benefit of the funds transfer pricing credit for deposits generated as interest rates increased, partially offset by lower loan spreads resulting from a more competitive lending environment and the negative impact of a flatter yield curve. Average total loans and leases increased across all regions, with the Unizan merger primarily impacting the newly created Eastern Ohio region, and to a lesser degree the Central Ohio and Southern Ohio/Kentucky regions.

Average commercial loans increased $1.0 billion, or 11% ($0.5 billion merger-related). Residential mortgages increased $0.4 billion, or 12% ($0.3 billion merger-related), despite a 14% decline in closed loan origination volume from the year-ago period. Home equity loans and lines of credit increased $0.2 billion, or 4% ($0.1 billion merger-related) compared to the year-ago period, as the impact of the Unizan merger was partially offset by a decline in broker-originated activity.

The $1.8 billion, or 10%, increase in average total deposits primarily reflected a $1.0 billion impact from the Unizan merger. A 45% increase in domestic time deposits was partially offset by an 8% decrease in savings deposits, as customers preferred higher yielding, fixed-rate deposit products. Non-interest bearing deposits grew 7% from the year-ago period, predominantly the result of accounts acquired in the Unizan merger. Largely due to the Unizan merger, Retail Banking non-interest bearing checking account (DDA) households at June 30, 2006, increased to 557,103, a gain of 47,011 households, or 9%, (36,343 were merger-related) from the year-ago first six-month period, with the number of small business DDA relationships up 7,038, or 13% (4,635 were merger-related).

Many of the key operating performance drivers improved compared with 2005. Since we focus on developing relationships, we monitor the “cross-sell” ratio as an indicator of our sales performance. This ratio measures success in selling multiple products to households. In Retail Banking, the 90-day cross-sell ratio increased 1% over the prior year six-month period, but the small business cross-sell ratio decreased 8% as a result of sales promotion, primarily in the second quarter of 2005, which was not repeated in the first six months of 2006. 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. In addition, the number of on-line consumer banking customers at June 30, 2006, grew 20% to 276,709 customers, which represented a relatively high 47% penetration of Retail Banking households and indicated a deepening relationship with those customers.

The growth in revenue was accomplished without significant increases in Regional Banking’s expense base. Regional Banking’s efficiency ratio decreased to 53% from 57% in the year-ago six-month period, reflecting slow revenue growth with a continued focus on expense management, while still making investments in distribution and technology.

Dealer Sales
(See Significant Factor 3 and the Operating Lease Asset section.)

Objectives, Strategies, and Priorities

Our Dealer Sales line of business provides a variety of banking products and services to more than 3,500 automotive dealerships within our primary banking markets, as well as in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Dealer Sales 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. Competition from the financing divisions of automobile manufacturers and from other financial institutions is intense. Dealer Sales’ production opportunities are directly impacted by the general automotive sales business, including programs initiated by manufacturers to enhance and increase sales directly. We have been in this line of business for over 50 years.

The Dealer Sales strategy has been to focus on developing relationships with the dealership through its finance department, general manager, and owner. An underwriter who understands each local market makes loan decisions, though we prioritize maintaining pricing discipline over market share. To manage our credit exposure, we sell a portion of our originated loans.

Automobile lease accounting significantly impacts the presentation of Dealer Sales’ financial results. 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 Dealer Sales’ financial performance metrics including net interest income, non-interest income, and non-interest expense. Valuation of residuals on leased automobiles, and the related accounting for residual value losses, are also important factors in the overall profitability of automobile leases.

2006 First Six Months versus 2005 First Six Months

Dealer Sales contributed $33.8 million, or 16%, of our net operating earnings for the first six months of 2006, down $3.9 million, or 10%, from the same year-ago period. This primarily reflected the negative impacts of a lower net contribution from operating lease assets and a decline in net interest income, partially offset by the benefits of a lower provision for credit losses, growth in non-interest income before operating lease income, and a decline in non-interest expense before operating lease expense. Dealer Sales’ ROA was 1.24%, down from 1.25% for the first six months of 2005, with an ROE of 21.2%, up from 20.7% for the year-ago period.

Operating lease income and operating lease expense continued to decline as that portfolio continued to run off. As a result, the net earnings contribution from operating leases in the first six months of 2006 was $7.9 million ($29.2 million in operating lease income offset by $21.3 million in operating lease expense), down $9.7 million, or 55%, from the year-ago period’s net contribution of $17.6 million ($82.6 million in operating lease income offset by $65.0 million in operating lease expense). Average operating lease assets declined 71% from the year-ago period.

Net interest income declined $5.1 million, or 7%, from the year-ago period reflecting a 5% decline in average loans and leases, as well as a 7 basis point decline in the net interest margin to 2.68% from 2.75%. The decline in average loans and leases reflected the continued program of selling a portion of loan originations.

The decline in the net interest margin continued to reflect aggressive pricing competition combined with increases in funding costs over the last 21 months on new loan and lease originations. We expect Dealer Sales net interest margin to be somewhat lower than the total Company’s, as this line of business does not have lower cost deposit balances to offset its loan and lease funding costs. This business is directly impacted by the general automotive sales business in the Midwest, as well as programs initiated by manufacturers to enhance and increase sales.

During the first half of 2006, as compared to the first half of 2005, new car sales in the Midwest, as well as on a national basis, were soft with the domestic automobile manufacturers continuing to post sizeable reductions in sales volumes. Nevertheless, Dealer Sales’ automobile loan originations were up 21% over last year, buoyed by more used car financing than in the year-ago period. As a result of competition from manufacturers for automobile leases, we experienced a 48% reduction in automobile lease production from the first half of last year.

The average length of a loan continued to increase slightly from the prior year, while the length of a lease remained stable. Profitability of originated loans and leases was generally stable as our focus on profitable business remained intact despite intense pricing competition and increases in funding costs.

The provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2006 decreased $4.6 million, or 40%, from the same period a year-ago. This decrease primarily reflected lower credit risk in the automobile loan and lease portfolio compared to last year. Net charge-offs for all loans and leases decreased $0.4 million, but was an annualized 0.39% of average total loans and leases for both six-month periods.

Non-interest income before operating lease income reflected an increase in other income and brokerage and insurance income. Other income increased $1.9 million, reflecting higher servicing income and gains on sales of automobile loans. Loans sold totaled $388 million during the first six months of 2006, compared to $53 million in the 2005 period. Brokerage and insurance income increased $0.9 million, reflecting improved revenue from the sale of a debt cancellation protection product to automobile loan and lease customers, as well as a reduction in claims filed under this product.

Non-interest expense before operating lease expense reflected declines in other non-interest expenses, as well as in personnel costs. Other expenses declined $1.4 million, or 5%, primarily due to lower lease residual value related costs and collection related legal costs, while personnel expenses declined $0.2 million, or 3.1%.

Private Financial and Capital Markets Group
(See Significant Factor1.)

Objectives, Strategies, and Priorities

The Private Financial and Capital Markets Group (PFCMG) provides products and services designed to meet the needs of higher net worth customers. Revenue is derived through the sale of trust, asset management, investment advisory, brokerage, insurance, and private banking products and services. It also focuses on financial solutions for corporate and institutional customers that include investment banking, sales and trading of securities, mezzanine capital financing, and risk management products. To serve high net worth customers, a unique distribution model is used that employs a single, unified sales force to deliver products and services mainly through Regional Banking distribution channels. PFCMG provides investment management and custodial services to our 29 proprietary mutual funds, including 10 variable annuity funds, which represented approximately $3.7 billion in assets under management at June 30, 2006. The Huntington Investment Company offers brokerage and investment advisory services to both Regional Banking and PFCMG customers through more than 100 licensed investment sales representatives and 600 licensed personal bankers. PFCMG’s 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 generated the sale or provided the customer referral, most notably Regional Banking.

PFCMG’s primary goals are to consistently increase assets under management by offering innovative products and services that are responsive to our clients’ changing financial needs and to grow the balance sheet mainly through increased loan volume achieved through improved cross-selling efforts. To grow managed assets, the Huntington Investment Company sales team has been utilized as the distribution source for trust and investment management. Additionally, PFCMG has been successful in introducing innovative investment management products.

2006 First Six Months versus 2005 First Six Months

PFCMG contributed $28.7 million, or 13%, of our operating earnings for the first six months of 2006, up $6.0 million, or 27%, from the comparable year-ago period. The improvement reflected a $14.2 million increase in fully taxable equivalent revenue, partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in the provision for credit losses and a $1.9 million increase in total non-interest expense. The ROA and ROE for the first six months of 2006 were 2.81% and 37.6%, respectively, up from to 2.37% and 35.6%, respectively, for the first six months of 2005.

The overall improvement in performance for the 2006 first six months was largely the result of continued success in the trust and asset management business. At June 30, 2006, assets under management were $12 billion, a 17% increase from June 30, 2005. Total trust assets exceeded $48 billion, a 9% increase from the prior year, and total trust fees grew for the eleventh consecutive quarter. The Unizan acquisition completed in the 2006 first quarter contributed $1.1 billion of the $3.9 billion growth in total trust assets and $0.8 billion of the $1.7 billion growth in managed assets. Core growth in managed assets resulted from the continued success of utilizing the Huntington Investment Company (HIC) sales team as the distribution source for trust and investment management products and services. Managed assets in Huntington Asset Management Accounts (HAMA), which are primarily sold through HIC, grew more than $234.8 million, or 58%, since June 30, 2005. We also expanded our trust presence in the Florida market by opening two new offices in mid-year 2005. By June 30, 2006, total managed assets for these two offices were $186 million. The solid investment performance of the Huntington proprietary mutual funds was reflected in strong growth in fund assets. At June 30, 2006, Huntington Fund assets were $3.7 billion, an 11% increase from June 30, 2005, and equity fund assets exceeded $1.4 billion, a 14% increase year-over-year. In addition, three of the eight equity funds eligible for rating had an overall Morningstar “4 Star” or “5 Star” rating and one fixed-income fund had a Morningstar “5 Star” rating. Two other equity funds also had Morningstar “4 Star” ratings for either the three or five-year periods ended June 30, 2006.

Our results for the first six months of 2006 also reflected the benefit of a favorable $3.7 million valuation adjustment in the Capital Markets equity securities. This contrasts with a negative $1.2 million hedge fund valuation adjustment for the comparable period in 2005. The Capital Markets Group also realized increased fee income of $2.6 million in the first six months of 2006, primarily as a result of participation gains realized from mezzanine lending.

Non-interest expense increased $1.9 million, or 3%, from the first six months of 2005, largely due to increased expenses from the Unizan acquisition, the opening of the two new Florida trust offices in mid-year 2005, and stock options expense.

Treasury/Other

(See Significant Factors 1, 2, 4, and 6.)

Objectives, Strategies, and Priorities

The Treasury/Other line of business 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 in this segment include investment securities and bank owned life insurance.

Net interest income includes the net impact of administering our 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 the valuation adjustment of MSRs to fair value, related hedging activity, as well as any investment securities and trading asset gains or losses.

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 our overall effective tax rate is lower. As a result, we reflect 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.

2006 First Six Months versus 2005 First Six Months

Income before income taxes for Treasury/Other declined $18.2 million to a $56.5 million loss for the first six months of 2006. The decline in income before taxes was largely related to lower net interest income and increases in non-interest expense. Net interest income for the first six months of 2006, was a negative $34.9 million compared with negative net interest income of $12.9 million in the year-ago six-month period. This $22.0 million decline resulted from higher interest expense attributable to the increase in market rates and in the credit provided to other lines of business for their non-interest bearing sources of funding. The decline was partially offset by a 17% increase in investment securities balances driven by purchases to replace securities sold by Unizan prior to the merger.

Non-interest income increased $11.1 million compared to the first six months of 2005, primarily due to a $24.0 million increase in mortgage banking income. The increase in mortgage banking income reflected a $17.5 million positive impact of MSR valuation adjustments for the first six months of 2006, and a $6.5 million MSR temporary impairment in the comparable year-ago period, before hedge-related trading activity.

Non-interest expense increased $7.2 million compared to the first six months of 2005, due to higher corporate administrative and other miscellaneous expenses not allocated to other business segments.

The effective tax rate was 28.5% for the six month period, up 5.9% from the same period in 2005. The effective tax rate in 2005 included the positive impact on net income of a federal tax loss carryback.
