(HPCI) was organized under Ohio law in 1992 and designated as a real estate investment trust (REIT) in 1998. HPCI's common stock is owned by three related parties, HPC Holdings-III, Inc. (HPCH-III), a Nevada corporation; Huntington Preferred Capital II, Inc. (HPCII), also a REIT and an Ohio corporation; and Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington), a Maryland corporation headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. HPCI and HPCII are subsidiaries of HPCH-III, which is a subsidiary of Huntington Preferred Capital Holdings, Inc. (Holdings), an Indiana corporation. Holdings is a subsidiary of The Huntington National Bank (the Bank), a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States and also headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Huntington. HPCI has one subsidiary, HPCLI, Inc. (HPCLI), a taxable REIT subsidiary formed in March 2001 for the purpose of holding certain assets (primarily leasehold improvements). NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and/or recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been omitted. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in HPCI's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2002 Annual Report), which include descriptions of significant accounting policies, should be read in conjunction with these interim financial statements. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management of HPCI is required to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. An accounting estimate requires assumptions about uncertain matters that could have a material effect on the financial statements of HPCI if a different amount within a range of estimates were used or if estimates changed from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Cash and cash equivalents used in the Statement of Cash Flows are defined as the sum of "Cash and due from The Huntington National Bank" and "Interest bearing deposits with The Huntington National Bank". SFAS 91 (Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Cost of Leases) addresses the timing of recognition of loan and lease origination fees and certain expenses. The statement requires that such fees and costs, if material, be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the asset. HPCI does not incur any origination costs but does receive origination fees; however HPCI has not deferred origination fees and has recognized the amounts in the period of origination as has been disclosed in its audited financial statements. The company has decided to defer origination fees prospectively for all loans originated after June 30, 2003. The decision to defer origination fees will only impact the timing, not the total amount of net revenue recognized over the life of the asset. This change is not expected to materially impact HPCI's future results of operations and will have no impact on its ability to pay operating expenses and dividends. In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer such as Huntington classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify as a liability a financial instrument that is (a) in the form of mandatorily redeemable shares; (b) that, at inception, embodies an obligation to repurchase equity shares; and (c) that embodies an unconditional obligation that the issuer must or may settle by issuing a variable number of equity shares. The classification of the preferred stock of HPCI will not be affected by the adoption of this standard. This Statement does not apply to features that are embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. All of HPCI's common stock is owned by Huntington, HPCII, and HPCH-III and, therefore, earnings per common share information is not presented. HPCI has elected to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and intends to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, is not subject to income taxes. HPCI's subsidiary, HPCLI, elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary and, therefore, a separate provision related to its income taxes is included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. 7 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 3 - LOAN PARTICIPATION INTERESTS Participation interests are categorized based on the collateral securing the underlying loan. At June 30, loan participation interests were comprised of the following: - ----------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands of dollars) 2003 2002 - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial $ 233,579 $ 507,108 Commercial real estate 4,077,396 3,849,495 Consumer 534,711 693,714 Residential real estate 376,641 199,988 - ----------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL LOAN PARTICIPATIONS $ 5,222,326 $ 5,250,305 ================================================================= There are no underlying loans outstanding that would be considered a concentration of lending in any particular industry, group of industries, or business activity. Underlying loans are, however, generally secured by real estate and concentrated to borrowers in the four states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Kentucky, which comprise 94.1% and 95.7% of the portfolio at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. PARTICIPATIONS IN NON-PERFORMING LOANS AND PAST DUE LOANS At June 30, 2003 and 2002, the participations in loans in non-accrual status and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, were as follows: - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands of dollars) 2003 2002 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial $ 16,537 $ 106,330 Commercial real estate 27,376 41,103 Consumer - - Residential real estate 6,316 5,816 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL PARTICIPATIONS IN NON-ACCRUAL LOANS $ 50,229 $ 153,249 ========================================================================================= PARTICIPATIONS IN ACCRUING LOANS PAST DUE 90 DAYS OR MORE $ 13,513 $22,659 ========================================================================================= NOTE 4 - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES A summary of the transactions in the allowance for loan losses (ALL) follows for the periods indicated: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (in thousands of dollars) 2003 2002 2003 2002 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BALANCE, BEGINNING OF PERIOD $ 125,884 $ 171,007 $ 140,353 $ 175,690 Allowance of loan participations acquired 11,740 10,700 23,397 17,261 Net loan losses (12,497) (21,348) (38,623) (49,431) Provision (credit) for loan losses (15,000) 3,000 (15,000) 19,839 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BALANCE, END OF PERIOD $ 110,127 $ 163,359 $ 110,127 $ 163,359 ============================================================================================================ During the first quarter of 2003, a total of $12.2 million of interest receivables was determined to be uncollectible and charged off against the ALL. These interest receivables related to loans that were previously charged off. NOTE 5 - DIVIDENDS Holders of Class A preferred securities, a majority of which are currently held by HPCH-III and the remainder by current and past employees of the Bank and Huntington, are entitled to receive, if, when, and as declared by the Board of Directors of HPCI out of funds legally available, dividends at a fixed rate of $80.00 per share per annum. Dividends on the Class A preferred securities, if declared, are payable 8 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) annually in December to holders of record on the record date fixed for such purpose by the Board of Directors in advance of payment. The holder of the Class B preferred securities, HPC Holdings-II, Inc., a direct non-bank subsidiary of Huntington, is entitled to receive, if, when, and as declared by the Board of Directors of HPCI out of funds legally available, dividends at a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR published on the first day of each calendar quarter times par value. Dividends on the Class B preferred securities, which are declared quarterly, are payable annually and are non-cumulative. No dividend, except payable in common shares, may be declared or paid upon Class B preferred securities unless dividend obligations are satisfied on the Class A, Class C, and Class D preferred securities. Holders of Class C preferred securities are entitled to receive, if, when, and as declared by the Board of Directors of HPCI out of funds legally available, dividends at a fixed rate of 7.875% per annum, of the initial liquidation preference of $25.00 per share payable quarterly. Dividends accrue in each quarterly period from the first day of each period, whether or not dividends are paid with respect to the preceding period. Dividends are not cumulative and if no dividend is paid on the Class C preferred securities for a quarterly dividend period, the payment of dividends on HPCI's common stock and other HPCI-issued securities ranking junior to the Class C preferred securities (i.e., Class B preferred securities) will be prohibited for that period and at least the following three quarterly dividend periods. The holder of Class D preferred securities, currently HPCH-III, is entitled to receive, if, when, and as declared by the Board of Directors of HPCI out of funds legally available, dividends at a variable rate established at the beginning of each calendar quarter equal to LIBOR plus 1.625% times par value, payable quarterly. Dividends accrue in each quarterly period from the first day of each period, whether or not dividends are paid with respect to the preceding period. Dividends are not cumulative and if no dividend is paid on the Class D preferred securities for a quarterly dividend period, the payment of dividends on HPCI's common stock and other HPCI-issued securities ranking junior to the Class D preferred securities (i.e., Class B preferred securities) will be prohibited for that period and at least the following three quarterly dividend periods. A summary of dividends declared by each class of preferred securities follows for the periods indicated: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands of dollars) 2003 2002 2003 2002 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class A preferred securities $ - $ - $ 80 $ 80 Class B preferred securities 1,270 2,040 2,650 3,904 Class C preferred securities 984 984 1,969 1,970 Class D preferred securities 2,533 3,207 5,162 6,259 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL DIVIDENDS DECLARED $ 4,787 $ 6,231 $ 9,861 $ 12,213 ============================================================================================== As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, dividends that are declared and unpaid totaled $2.7 million and $8.2 million, respectively. For 2003 and 2002, dividends payable represents dividends declared but unpaid on HPCI's Class A and B preferred securities. In addition, dividends that were declared on the Class C and D preferred securities for the second quarter of 2002 were not paid until July 1, 2002, and thus are included in dividends payable as of June 30, 2002. Dividends payable is reflected as a component of dividends payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS HPCI is a party to an Amended and Restated Loan Subparticipation Agreement with Holdings, a Loan Subparticipation Agreement with HPCI-III, and a Loan Participation Agreement with the Bank. Under these agreements HPCI holds a 100% participation interest and a subparticipation interest in Holdings' 99% participation interests in loans originated by the Bank and its subsidiaries. The participation and subparticipation interests are in commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and consumer loans that were either directly underwritten by the Bank and its subsidiaries or acquired by the Bank. On May 12, 2003, the amendments to and new participation and subparticipation agreements were approved by the Board of Directors to allow HPCI to acquire interests in loans 9 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) directly from the Bank. Prior to this date, participation interests in loans were acquired from the Bank only through Holdings at the Bank's carrying value, which is the principal amount outstanding plus accrued interest, net of unearned income, if any, less an ALL. The amended and new agreements also allow for HPCI to acquire up to a 100% participation interest in such loans. HPCI expects to continue to purchase such interests, net of ALL, in the future from the Bank or its affiliates. The Bank performs the servicing of the commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and consumer loans underlying the participations held by HPCI in accordance with normal industry practice under HPCI's participation agreement with the Bank or HPCI's subparticipation agreement with Holdings and Holding's participation amended agreements and subparticipation agreements. As of June 1, 2003, the annual servicing fee the Bank charges is 0.125% of the outstanding principal balances of the underlying commercial and commercial real estate loans, 0.320% of the outstanding principal balances of the underlying consumer loans, and 0.2997% of the outstanding principal balances of the underlying residential real estate loans. Prior to June 1, 2003, the servicing fee the Bank charged, on an annual basis, was 0.125% with respect to the underlying commercial real estate, commercial, and consumer loan balances and 2.35% of the interest income collected on residential real estate loans. In its capacity as servicer, the Bank collects and holds the loan payments received on behalf of HPCI until the end of each month. At month end, the payments are transferred to HPCI and, accordingly, HPCI does not reflect any receivables for payments from the Bank in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Servicing fee expense paid to the Bank totaled $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and $1.7 million for the same period in 2002. In addition, servicing fee expense paid to the Bank totaled $3.3 million and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. HPCI, Huntington, and the Bank share personnel to handle day-to-day operations of HPCI such as financial analysis and reporting, accounting, tax reporting, and other administrative functions. On a monthly basis, HPCI reimburses the Bank and Huntington for the cost related to the time spent by employees for performing these functions. These personnel costs totaled $58,000 and $40,000, respectively, for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and $98,000 and $81,000, respectively, for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The Bank has a policy of not participating certain categories of loans to HPCI. From time to time loans are inadvertently participated to HPCI against those policies. In such instances, the Bank will reacquire those participations from HPCI at their fair market value. In February 2001, Huntington purchased 18,667 shares of the 14 million outstanding common shares of HPCI from Holdings (after adjusting for the April 2001 18,666.67-for-1 stock split). Prior to February 2001, Holdings was the owner of 100% of the outstanding common stock of HPCI. On July 1, 2002, Holdings exchanged 4.55 million common shares of HPCI and certain other assets for two classes of HPCII's preferred stock. On December 27, 2002, Holdings contributed its ownership in HPCI's Class A and Class D preferred securities and its remaining common stock to HPCH-III. The following table represents the current ownership of HPCI's common and preferred securities. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NUMBER OF NUMBER OF PREFERRED SECURITIES COMMON --------------------------------------- OWNER AT JUNE 30, 2003: SHARES CLASS A CLASS B CLASS C CLASS D - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HPC II 4,550,000 - - - - HPCH-III 9,431,333 893 - - 14,000,000 HPC Holdings II, Inc. - - 400,000 - - Huntington 18,667 - - - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total held by related parties 14,000,000 893 400,000 - 14,000,000 ==================================================================================================== Other shareholders - 107 - 2,000,000 - ==================================================================================================== At June 30, 2003, 10.7% of the Class A preferred securities are owned by current and past employees of Huntington and its subsidiaries in addition to the 89.3% owned by HPCH-III. The Class A preferred securities are non-voting. All of the Class B preferred securities are owned by HPC Holdings II, Inc., a non-bank subsidiary of Huntington and are non-voting. In 2001, the Class C preferred securities were obtained by Holdings, who sold the securities to the public. Various board members and executive officers of HPCI have purchased a portion of the Class C preferred securities. At June 30, 2003, a total of 7,100 shares, or 0.355%, were beneficially owned by HPCI board members and executive officers in the aggregate. All of the Class D preferred securities owned by HPCH-III are being held for possible sale to the public in the 10 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) future. Dividends paid to the Class C and D shareholders in the second quarter of 2003 were $984,000 and $2,533,000, respectively, and were paid June 30, 2003. Both the Class C and D preferred securities are entitled to one-tenth of one vote per share on all matters submitted to HPCI shareholders. The Class C and D preferred securities are exchangeable, without shareholder approval or any action of shareholders, for preferred securities of the Bank with substantially equivalent terms as to dividends, liquidation preference, and redemption if the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) so directs only under the following circumstances where the Bank becomes or may in the near term become undercapitalized, or the Bank is placed in conservatorship or receivership. The Class C and Class D preferred securities are redeemable at HPCI's option on or after December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2006, respectively, with prior consent of the OCC. HPCI's premises and equipment were acquired from the Bank through Holdings. Leasehold improvements were subsequently contributed to HPCLI for its common shares in the fourth quarter of 2001. HPCLI charges rent to the Bank for use of applicable facilities by the Bank. During each of the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, HPCLI received $1.5 million of rental income, and during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, HPCLI received $3.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Rental income is reflected as a component of non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income. HPCI has a non-interest bearing receivable from Holdings of $11.6 million at June 30, 2003, and $66.2 million at June 30, 2002. At December 31, 2002, there were no non-interest bearing receivables from Holdings. These balances represent unsettled cash transactions involving its participation interests that occur in the ordinary course of business. The Bank is eligible to obtain advances from various federal and government-sponsored agencies such as the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. From time to time, HPCI may be asked to act as guarantor of the Bank's obligations under such advances and/or pledge all or a portion of its assets in connection with those advances. See Note 7 for further information regarding the pledging of HPCI's assets in association with the Bank's advances. HPCI maintains and transacts all of its cash activity through a non-interest bearing demand deposit account with the Bank. In addition, to the extent that it does not jeopardize qualification as a REIT, HPCI invests available funds in Eurodollar deposits with the Bank for a term of not more than 30 days. The following amounts were on deposit with the Bank at June 30: - -------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands of dollars) 2003 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------- Non-interest bearing $ 59,191 $ 39,367 Interest bearing 423,579 823,068 - -------------------------------------------------------- Total deposits with the Bank $ 482,770 $ 862,435 ======================================================== NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Bank is eligible to obtain advances from various federal and government-sponsored agencies such as the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLBC). From time to time, HPCI may be asked to act as guarantor of the Bank's obligations under such advances and/or pledge all or a portion of its assets in connection with those advances. Any such guarantee and/or pledge would rank senior to HPCI's common and preferred securities upon liquidation. Accordingly, any federal or government-sponsored agencies that make advances to the Bank where HPCI has acted as guarantor or has pledged its assets as collateral will have a liquidation preference over the holders of HPCI's securities. Any such guarantee and/or pledge in connection with the Bank's advances from federal or government-sponsored agencies falls within the definition of Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in HPCI's articles of incorporation) and, therefore, HPCI is not required to obtain the consent of the holders of its common or preferred securities for any such guarantee and/or pledge. The Bank is currently eligible to obtain one or more advances from the FHLBC based upon the amount of FHLBC capital stock owned by the Bank. As of June 30, 2003, the Bank's total borrowing capacity under this facility was capped at $1.34 billion. As of this same date, the Bank had borrowings of $1.27 billion under this facility, in addition to standby letters of credit that were issued and outstanding in the amount of $18.2 million. 11 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) HPCI has entered into an agreement with the Bank with respect to the pledge of HPCI's assets to collateralize the Bank's borrowings from the FHLBC. The agreement provides that the Bank will not place at risk HPCI's assets in excess of an aggregate amount or percentage of such assets established from time to time by HPCI's board of directors, including a majority of HPCI's independent directors. HPCI's board has set this limit at $1.0 billion, which limit may be changed in the future by the board of directors, including a majority of HPCI's independent directors. As of June 30, 2003, HPCI's pledged collateral was limited to 1-4 family residential mortgages and second mortgage loans. As of that same date, HPCI's participation interests in 1-4 family residential mortgages and second mortgage loans pledged as collateral aggregated $733 million. The agreement also provides that the Bank will pay HPCI a monthly fee based upon the pledged collateral held by HPCI. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, the Bank paid a total of $146,000 and $306,000, respectively, to HPCI, representing twelve basis points per year on the collateral pledged, as compensation for making such assets available to the Bank as collateral. For both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, the Bank paid a total of $273,000 to HPCI. HPCI began receiving these fees after the first quarter of last year. NOTE 8 - SEGMENT REPORTING HPCI's operations consist of acquiring, holding, and managing its participation interests. Accordingly, HPCI only operates in one segment. HPCI has no external customers and transacts all of its business with the Bank and its affiliates. 12 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION Huntington Preferred Capital, Inc. (HPCI) is an Ohio corporation operating as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes. HPCI's principal business objective is to acquire, hold, and manage mortgage assets and other authorized investments that will generate net income for distribution to its shareholders. HPCI was organized under Ohio law in 1992 and designated as a real estate investment trust (REIT) in 1998. HPCI's common stock is owned by three related parties, HPC Holdings-III, Inc. (HPCH-III), a Nevada corporation; Huntington Preferred Capital II, Inc. (HPCII), also a REIT and an Ohio corporation; and Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington), a Maryland corporation headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. HPCI and HPCII are subsidiaries of HPCH-III, which is a subsidiary of Huntington Preferred Capital Holdings, Inc. (Holdings), an Indiana corporation. Holdings is a subsidiary of The Huntington National Bank (the Bank), a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States and also headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Huntington. HPCI has one subsidiary, HPCLI, Inc. (HPCLI), a taxable REIT subsidiary formed in March 2001 for the purpose of holding certain assets (primarily leasehold improvements). HPCI is a party to an Amended and Restated Loan Subparticipation Agreement with Holdings, a Loan Subparticipation Agreement with HPCI-III, and a Loan Participation Agreement with the Bank. The Bank is required, through its participation and/or subparticipation agreements, to service HPCI's loan portfolio in a manner substantially the same as for similar work for transactions on its own behalf. HPCI, however, has retained the right to elect to foreclose on mortgaged properties and the Bank has agreed to follow any such direction from HPCI in this regard. The Bank also collects and remits principal and interest payments, maintains perfected collateral positions, and submits and pursues insurance claims. In addition, the Bank provides to HPCI accounting and reporting services as required. The Bank is required to pay all expenses related to the performance of its duties under the participation and subparticipation agreements. All of these participation interests to date were acquired directly or indirectly from the Bank. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contain forward-looking statements about HPCI, including descriptions of products or services, plans, or objectives of its management for future operations, and forecasts of its revenues, earnings, 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, including, but not limited to, those set forth under the heading "Business Risks" included in Item 1 of HPCI's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2002 Annual Report) and other factors described from time to time in HPCI's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, could cause actual conditions, events, or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. HPCI does not update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The following discussion and analysis provides investors and others with information that HPCI's management believes to be necessary for an understanding of its financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes, and other information contained in this document. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Note 1 to HPCI's consolidated financial statements included in its 2002 Annual Report lists critical accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the critical accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of HPCI, its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. 13 SFAS 91 (Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Cost of Leases) addresses the timing of recognition of loan and lease origination fees and certain expenses. The statement requires that such fees and costs, if material, be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the asset. HPCI does not incur any origination costs but does receive origination fees; however HPCI has not deferred origination fees and has recognized the amounts in the period of origination as has been disclosed in its audited financial statements. The company has decided to defer origination fees prospectively for all loans originated after June 30, 2003. The decision to defer origination fees will only impact the timing, not the total amount of net revenue recognized over the life of the asset. This change is not expected to materially impact HPCI's future results of operations and will have no impact on its ability to pay operating expenses and dividends. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires HPCI's management to establish critical accounting policies and make accounting estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect amounts recorded and reported in its financial statements. An accounting estimate requires assumptions about uncertain matters that could have a material effect on the financial statements of HPCI 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. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. OVERVIEW HPCI's income is primarily derived from its participation interests in loans acquired directly or indirectly from the Bank. Income varies based on the level of these assets and interest rates earned on these assets. The cash flows from these assets are used to satisfy HPCI's preferred dividend obligations. The preferred securities are considered equity and therefore, the dividends are not reflected as interest expense. HPCI's net income before preferred dividends was $82.2 million and $85.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, while net income available to common shareholders was $77.4 million and $78.8 million, respectively, for the same three month ended periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, HPCI's net income before preferred dividends was $151.9 million and $156.3 million, respectively, while net income available to common shareholders was $142.1 million and $144.1 million, respectively, for the same six month ended periods. HPCI had total assets and total equity of $5.7 billion at June 30, 2003, up slightly from $5.5 billion at December 31, 2002, but down from $6.1 billion at June 30, 2002. At June 30, 2003 and 2002, an aggregate of $5.2 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively, consisted of 99% participation interests in loans. Participation interests in specific underlying loans were as follows: - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AT JUNE 30, - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % OF % OF TOTAL TOTAL (in thousands of dollars) 2003 ASSETS 2002 ASSETS - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross loan participation interests: Commercial $ 233,579 4.1 $ 507,108 8.3 Commercial real estate 4,077,396 72.0 3,849,495 63.1 Consumer 534,711 9.4 693,714 11.4 Residential real estate 376,641 6.7 199,988 3.3 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 5,222,326 92.2 $ 5,250,305 86.1 ================================================================================ Participation interests in commercial loans at June 30, 2003 declined 54% from a year ago, while residential real estate loans increased 88% over the same period. HPCI has not acquired additional participation interests in commercial loans over the past several quarters, but did acquire participation interests in $269.8 million of residential real estate loans in June 2003. Participation interests in commercial real estate loans at June 30, 2003 increased 6% over levels at the end of the same period in 2002. 14 Participation interests in consumer loans decreased 23% for the same comparable periods as scheduled payment and prepayment activity in this portfolio outpaced the investment in new participation interests. Participation interests in consumer loans were comprised largely of interests in home equity loans secured by first and second mortgages. Interest-bearing and non-interest bearing cash balances on deposit with the Bank were $482.8 million at June 30, 2003, down from $534.3 million at December 31, 2002, and down from $862.4 million at June 30, 2002. These declines were due, in part, to reinvestment opportunities in acquiring additional participation interests. Typically, cash is invested with the Bank in an interest bearing account. These interest-bearing balances are invested overnight or in Eurodollar deposits with the Bank for a term of not more than 30 days. At June 30, 2003, amounts due from Holdings and the Bank were $11.6 million, down from $66.2 million at June 30, 2002, but up from $7.4 million at December 31, 2002. These represent amounts due from or due to Holdings and/or the Bank that arise in the ordinary course of business for unsettled transactions involving participation interests, fees, and other related costs. Dividends payable and other liabilities were $3.3 million at June 30, 2003, down from $8.2 million at June 30, 2002, but up from $0.7 million at December 31, 2002. This decline since June 30, 2002 was due to the timing of the payment of dividends paid on the Class C and D preferred securities and reduced LIBOR rates. All preferred dividends declared in 2002 were paid by December 31, 2002. Shareholders' equity was $5.7 billion at June 30, 2003, down from $6.1 billion at June 30, 2002, but up from $5.5 billion at December 31, 2002. The decline since June 30, 2002 largely reflects the impact of the declaration and payment of common and preferred dividends in the third and fourth quarters of 2002 and return of capital at December 31, 2002. Qualification as a REIT involves application of specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code relating to income and asset tests. A REIT must satisfy six asset tests quarterly: (1) 75 percent of the value of the REIT's total assets must consist of real estate assets, cash and cash items, and government securities; (2) not more than 25 percent of the value of the REIT's total assets may consist of securities, other than those includible under the 75 percent test; (3) not more than five percent of the value of its total assets may consist of securities of any one issuer, other than those securities includible under the 75 percent test or securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries; (4) not more than 10 percent of the outstanding voting power of any one issuer may be held, other than those securities includible under the 75 percent test or securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries; (5) not more that 10 percent of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer may be held, other than those securities includible under the 75 percent test or securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries; and (6) a REIT cannot own securities in one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries which comprise more than 20 percent of its total assets. Also, a REIT must annually satisfy two gross income tests: (1) 75 percent of its gross income must be from qualifying income closely connected with real estate activities; and (2) 95 percent of its gross income must be derived from sources qualifying for the 75 percent test plus dividends, interest and gains from the sale of securities. At June 30, 2003, HPCI had met all of the quarterly asset tests and as of December 31, 2002 met all annual income tests. HPCI intends to operate in a manner that will not cause it to be deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Investment Company Act exempts from registration as an investment company an entity that is primarily engaged in the business of "purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate" (Qualifying Interests). Under positions taken by the SEC staff in no-action letters, in order to qualify for this exemption, HPCI must invest at least 55 percent of its assets in Qualifying Interests and an additional 25 percent of its assets in real estate-related assets, although this percentage may be reduced to the extent that more than 55 percent of its assets are invested in Qualifying Interests. The assets in which HPCI may invest under the Internal Revenue Code therefore may be further limited by the provisions of the Investment Company Act and positions taken by the SEC staff. HPCI intends to operate its business in a manner that will maintain its exemption from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTEREST AND FEE INCOME HPCI's primary source of revenue is interest and fee income on its participation interests in loans. At June 30, 2003 and 2002, HPCI did not have any interest-bearing liabilities or related interest expense. HPCI's capital 15 structure has provided funding for acquisition of participation interests and the continued cash flows from its participation interests in loans provide sufficient funding such that outside borrowings are not required. Interest income is impacted by changes in the level of interest rates and earning assets. The yield on earning assets is the percentage of interest income to average earning assets. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, HPCI's average balances, interest and fee income, and yields are presented below: - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, -------------------------------------------------- 2003 2002 ----------------------- ------------------------- AVERAGE AVERAGE (in millions of dollars) BALANCE INCOME YIELD BALANCE INCOME YIELD - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loan participation interests: Commercial $ 270.6 $ 3.0 4.42% $ 533.8 $ 6.4 4.84% Commercial real estate 4,005.6 45.9 4.59 3,843.1 54.3 5.67 Consumer 560.8 12.4 8.86 712.6 18.9 10.63 Residential real estate 215.0 3.0 5.58 222.9 3.9 6.91 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total loan participations 5,052.0 64.3 5.10 5,312.4 83.5 6.30 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest bearing deposits in banks 637.6 2.0 1.27 747.4 3.3 1.76 Fees from loan participation interests 2.6 2.7 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 5,689.6 $ 68.9 4.85% $ 6,059.8 $ 89.5 5.92% =================================================================================== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, --------------------------------------------------- 2003 2002 ----------------------- -------------------------- AVERAGE AVERAGE (in millions of dollars) BALANCE INCOME YIELD BALANCE INCOME YIELD - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loan participation interests: Commercial $ 296.8 $ 6.9 4.71% $ 570.3 $ 13.7 4.86% Commercial real estate 3,949.7 92.8 4.74 3,788.7 108.2 5.76 Consumer 580.2 25.8 8.96 737.8 38.9 10.64 Residential real estate 180.8 5.3 5.81 240.3 8.4 7.00 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total loan participations 5,007.5 130.8 5.27 2,337.1 169.2 6.39 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest bearing deposits in banks 627.7 3.9 1.24 586.1 5.2 1.78 Fees from loan participation interests 5.3 5.2 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 5,635.2 $ 140.0 5.01 % $ 5,923.2 $ 179.6 6.11% ====================================================================================== For the three months ended June 30, 2003, interest and fee income was $68.9 million, compared with $89.5 million for the same quarter in 2002. Approximately 53% of the decline in interest and fee income was due to the lower interest rate environment and the remainder due to declines in average participation balances. Approximately three-quarters of the loan participation portfolio is variable in nature with respect to interest rate. As shown in the table above, the yield on HPCI's participation interests declined from 6.30% in the second quarter a year ago to 5.10% for the recent three-month period. On a six month basis, interest and fee income was $140.0 million for 2003, compared with $179.6 million for the same period in 2002. The yield on HPCI's participation interests declined from 6.39% for the first half of last year to 5.27% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. Approximately 58% of the decline in interest and fee income was due to the lower interest rate environment and 42% due to declines in average participation balances. 16 The table below shows changes in interest and fee income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 due to volume and rate for each category of earning assets. The change in interest and fees not solely due to changes in volume or rates has been allocated in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of the change in volume and rate. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, -------------------------------------------------------- 2003 COMPARED TO 2002 2002 COMPARED TO 2001 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Increase (Decrease) Increase (Decrease) From Previous From Previous Year Due To: Year Due To: - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in millions of dollars) Volume Yield Total Volume Yield Total - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest bearing deposits in banks $ (0.4) $ (0.9) $ (1.3) $ 2.1 $ (3.8) $ (1.7) Loan participations purchased: Commercial (3.1) (0.5) (3.6) (0.4) (3.4) (3.8) Commercial real estate 2.3 (10.5) (8.2) (5.0) (19.1) (24.1) Consumer (3.7) (2.9) (6.6) (8.6) 3.2 (5.4) Residential real estate (0.1) (0.8) (0.9) (8.7) 0.2 (8.5) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL EARNING ASSETS (5.0) (15.6) (20.6) (20.6) (22.9) (43.5) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES - - - - - - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL INTEREST AND FEE INCOME $ (5.0) $ (15.6) $ (20.6) $ (20.6) $ (22.9) $ (43.5) =================================================================================================== - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, -------------------------------------------------------- 2003 COMPARED TO 2002 2002 COMPARED TO 2001 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Increase (Decrease) Increase (Decrease) From Previous From Previous Year Due To: Year Due To: - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in millions of dollars) Volume Yield Total Volume Yield Total - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest bearing deposits in banks $ 0.3 $ (1.6) $ (1.3) $ (2.2) $ (9.9) $ (12.1) Loan participations purchased: Commercial (6.6) (0.5) (7.1) (0.4) (7.9) (8.3) Commercial real estate 4.6 (19.7) (15.1) (10.1) (41.8) (51.9) Consumer (7.7) (5.5) (13.2) (14.5) 6.0 (8.5) Residential real estate (1.9) (1.2) (3.1) (12.1) (1.2) (13.3) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL EARNING ASSETS (11.3) (28.5) (39.8) (39.3) (54.8) (94.1) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES - - - - - - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL INTEREST AND FEE INCOME $ (11.3) $ (28.5) $ (39.8) $ (39.3) $ (54.8) $ (94.1) =================================================================================================== PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (ALL) The provision for loan losses is the charge to earnings necessary to maintain the ALL at a level adequate to absorb management's estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio. There was a credit of $15.0 million recorded to the provision for loan losses in the second quarter 2003 and no provision expense in the first quarter of this year. Provision expense was $3.0 million and $19.8 million for the three and six-month periods in 2002, respectively. The overall decline in provision expense in 2003 from 2002 is indicative of the significantly lower level of non-performing loans underlying HPCI's participation interests and lower losses on loan participations. The ALL was $110.1 million at June 30, 2003, down from $140.4 million at December 31, 2002, and $163.4 million at June 30, 2002. This represents 2.11%, 2.79%, and 3.11% of total loan participations at the end of each respective period. The ALL decreased from June and December of last year because of the factors described above related to provision expense. The ALL covered 219.2% of the participations in non-performing loans June 30, 2003, 17 compared to 145.4% and 106.6% at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002, respectively. In management's judgment, the ALL is adequate at June 30, 2003 to cover losses inherent in the loan participation portfolio. Additional information regarding the ALL and asset quality appears in the "Credit Quality" section. The following table shows the activity in HPCI's ALL for the periods indicated: - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands of dollars) 2003 2002 2003 2002 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BALANCE, BEGINNING OF PERIOD 125,884 171,007 $ 140,353 $ 175,690 Allowance of loan participations acquired, net 11,740 10,700 23,397 17,261 Net loan losses Commercial (7,749) (12,058) (16,331) (26,261) Commercial real estate (391) (4,394) (1,351) (10,403) Consumer (4,152) (4,896) (18,686) (12,767) Residential real estate (205) - (2,255) - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total net loan losses (12,497) (21,348) (38,623) (49,431) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Provision (credit) for loan losses (15,000) 3,000 (15,000) 19,839 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BALANCE, END OF PERIOD 110,127 163,359 $ 110,127 $ 163,359 =============================================================================================== Charge-offs are a cost of making loans. Since loan yields are expressed as an annual rate, for approximation purposes in assessing loan profitability trends, management finds it helpful to also express charge-offs on an annualized basis. As such, quarterly charge-offs expressed as a percent of related quarterly average loans, are multiplied by a factor of four. For example, a quarterly charge-off rate of 0.25%, represents an annualized charge-off rate of 1.00%. Total net charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, were $12.5 million, or 0.99% of average participation interests, down from the $21.3 million, or 1.61%, recorded in the same quarterly period in 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, total net charge-offs were $38.6 million, or 1.56% of average participation interests, down from $49.4 million, or $1.85%, recorded in the same period in 2002. The first half of 2003 includes $12.2 million of interest receivables that were determined to be uncollectible and charged off against the allowance for loan losses in the first quarter of this year. These interest receivables related to loans that were previously charged off. It is HPCI's policy to perform a detailed analysis as of the end of each period to estimate the required level of the ALL. HPCI, through reliance on methods utilized by Huntington, allocates the ALL to each loan participation category. For the commercial and commercial real estate loan participations, expected loss factors are assigned by credit grade at the individual underlying loan level at the time the loan is originated by the Bank. On a periodic basis, management reevaluates these credit grades. The aggregation of these factors represents management's estimate of the inherent loss. The portion of the allowance allocated to the more homogeneous underlying consumer and residential real estate loan participations is determined by developing expected loss ratios based on the risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments and giving consideration to existing economic conditions and trends. Expected loss ratios also incorporate factors such as trends in past due and non-accrual amounts, recent underlying loan loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics, and concentrations of various underlying loan categories. Actual loss ratios experienced in the future could vary from those expected, as performance is a function of factors unique to each customer as well as general economic conditions. Management believes that a reserve of 2.11% of the total participation interests at June 30, 2003 is appropriate given (1) the composition of the loans underlying HPCI's participation interests, predominantly commercial real estate, commercial loans, and lower quality consumer loans; and (2) the uncertainties in the general economic outlook and world events that could impact customers' ability to make payments. In the second quarter of 2003, HPCI changed its methodology of determining its ALL to eliminate any unallocated ALL. While amounts are allocated to various portfolio segments, the total ALL, excluding impairment reserves prescribed under provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 114, is available to absorb losses from any segment of the loan participation portfolio. Management will continue to assess the level of the reserve on a quarterly basis. 18 NON-INTEREST INCOME AND NON-INTEREST EXPENSE For the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, non-interest income was $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively. For the six month period, non-interest income was $3.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively. This income largely represents rents received from the Bank related to land, buildings, and leasehold improvements owned by HPCI. In addition, non-interest income includes fees from the Bank for use of its assets as collateral for the Bank's advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLBC). These fees totaled $146,000 and $306,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30 2003, while for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, these fees totaled $273,000. HPCI began receiving these fees after the first quarter of last year. See Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information regarding use of HPCI's assets as collateral for the Bank's advances from the FHLBC. Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003, was $3.2 million compared with $3.3 million for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, non-interest expense was $6.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The predominant components of HPCI's non-interest expense are the fees paid to the Bank for servicing the loans underlying the participation interests and depreciation and amortization on its premises and equipment. Servicing fees amounted to $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, these servicing fees totaled $3.3 million versus $3.4 million a year ago. As of June 1, 2003, the service fee with respect to the underlying commercial real estate and commercial loans is equal to the outstanding principal balance of each loan multiplied by a fee of 0.125% on an annual basis, 0.320% on underlying consumer loan balances, and 0.2997% on underlying residential real estate loans. Prior to June 1, 2003, the servicing fee was 0.125% annually with respect to the underlying commercial real estate, commercial, and consumer loan balances and 2.35% of the interest income collected on residential real estate loans. Depreciation on premises and equipment was $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. For the six month period, depreciation expense totaled $2.8 million for 2003 and $2.9 million for 2002. See Note 6 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information regarding these servicing fees paid to the Bank as part of the related subparticipation agreements. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HPCI has elected to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and intends to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, is not subject to income taxes. HPCI's subsidiary, HPCLI, elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary and, therefore, a separate provision related to its income taxes is included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Income taxes for the recent three months were $24,000, down slightly from $25,000 a year ago due to lower income. For the first six months of 2003, income taxes were $49,000 compared with a benefit of $92,000 for the prior year period. INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT HPCI's income consists primarily of interest income on participation interests in commercial, consumer, residential real estate, and commercial real estate loans. If there is a decline in market interest rates, HPCI may experience a reduction in interest income on its participation interests and a corresponding decrease in funds available to be distributed to shareholders. The reduction in interest income may result from downward adjustments of the indices upon which the interest rates on underlying variable rate loans are based and from prepayments of underlying loans with fixed interest rates as well as reinvestment in lower-earning assets. HPCI has no interest bearing liabilities, and therefore would have no offsetting reduction in interest expense if market interest rates decline. Huntington conducts its interest rate risk management on a centralized basis and does not manage HPCI's interest rate risk separately. A key element used in Huntington's interest rate risk management is an income simulation model, which includes, among other things, assumptions for loan prepayments on the existing portfolio and new loan volumes. Using that model for HPCI as of June 30, 2003, and assuming no new loan participation volumes, interest income for the next 12 month period would be expected to increase by 9.1% if rates rose 200 basis points gradually and with a parallel shift of the yield curve above the forward rates implied in the June 30, 2003 yield curve. The model was not used to estimate the impact of a 200 basis point decline in rates due to the overall low level of current rates, however, management believes further declines in market rates would put modest downward pressure on net interest income. 19 CREDIT QUALITY HPCI's exposure to credit risk is managed by personnel of the Bank through its use of consistent underwriting standards that emphasize "in-market" lending while avoiding highly leveraged transactions as well as excessive industry and other concentrations. The Bank's credit administration function employs risk management techniques to ensure that loans adhere to corporate policy and problem loans are promptly identified. These procedures provide executive management of the Bank and HPCI with the information necessary to implement policy adjustments where necessary, and to take corrective actions on a proactive basis. These procedures also include evaluating the adequacy of the ALL, which includes an analysis of specific credits and the application of relevant reserve factors that represent relative risk, based on portfolio trends, current and historic loss experience, and prevailing economic conditions, to specific portfolio segments. In the first quarter of 2003, the Bank revised and implemented an internal risk grading system for commercial and commercial real estate credits. The Bank migrated from a single grading, to a dual risk grading system that separately measures the probability of default and loss in event of default and provides the Bank with more specificity in the risk assessment process. Concentration of credit risk generally arises with respect to participation interests when a number of underlying loans have borrowers engaged in similar business activities or in the same geographical region. Concentration of credit risk indicates the relative sensitivity of performance to both positive and negative developments affecting a particular industry. Borrowers obligated in loans underlying HPCI's participation interests do not represent a particular concentration of similar business activity. Underlying loans are, however, generally secured by commercial real estate. HPCI's balance sheet exposure to geographic concentrations directly affects the credit risk of the loans underlying the participation interests. The majority of the loans underlying the participation interests are concentrated in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Kentucky. At June 30, 2003, 94.1% of the underlying participation interests consisted of loans located in these four states. Consequently, the portfolio may experience a higher default rate in the event of adverse economic, political, or business developments or natural hazards in these states and may affect the ability of borrowers to make payments of principal and interest on the underlying loans. A participation interest acquired by HPCI and an underlying loan originated by the Bank is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that it will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower. This includes the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Loan impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by comparing the recorded investment in the loan to the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Non-performing assets (NPAs) consist of participation interests in underlying loans that are no longer accruing interest. Underlying commercial and commercial real estate loans are placed on non-accrual status and stop accruing interest when collection of principal or interest is in doubt or generally when the underlying loan is 90 days past due. Underlying residential real estate loans are generally placed on non-accrual status within 180 days past due as to principal and 210 days past due as to interest. 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 are not placed on non-accrual status; rather they are charged off in accordance with regulatory statutes governing the Bank, which is generally no more than 120 days. The following table shows non-performing assets at the end of the most recent five quarters: 20 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NON-PERFORMING ASSETS 2003 2002 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- (in thousands of dollars) SECOND FIRST FOURTH THIRD SECOND - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Participation interests in non-accrual loans Commercial $ 16,537 $ 33,367 $ 57,112 $ 92,427 $ 106,330 Commercial Real Estate 27,376 27,041 32,979 42,653 41,103 Residential Real Estate 6,316 5,499 6,455 6,150 5,816 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL NON-PERFORMING ASSETS $ 50,229 $ 65,907 $ 96,546 141,230 $ 153,249 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AS A % OF TOTAL PARTICIPATION INTERESTS 0.96% 1.33% 1.92% 2.73% 2.92% ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES AS A % OF NON-PERFORMING ASSETS 219.2% 191.0% 145.37% 118.26% 106.6% Total NPAs at June 30, 2003 declined to $50.2 million from $65.9 million at March 31, 2003, and $96.5 million at December 31, 2002. As of the same dates, the underlying non-performing loans represented 0.96%, 1.33%, and 1.92% of total participation interests. At June 30, 2002, non-performing assets were $153.2 million, or 2.92% of total participation interests. Continued improvement in the level of participation interest in non-performing loans was seen in the recent five quarterly periods primarily related to declining commercial loan balances. The change in non-performing assets during the recent quarter included participation interests in underlying loans transfering to nonaccrual status of $11.3 million, offset by charge-offs of $5.0 million, sales of $6.3 million, and payments received of $15.5 million. Underlying loans past due ninety days or more but continuing to accrue interest also declined to $13.5 million at June 30, 2003, from $26.1 million at December 31, 2002, and $22.7 million at June 30, 2002. Under the participation and subparticipation agreements, HPCI may direct the Bank to dispose of any underlying loan that becomes classified, is placed in a non-performing status, or is renegotiated due to the financial deterioration of the borrower. The Bank may institute foreclosure proceedings at the discretion of HPCI, exercise any power of sale contained in any mortgage or deed of trust, obtain a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise acquire title to a property underlying a mortgage loan by operation of law or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the participation and subparticipation agreement. Any participation interest in a loan is sold to the Bank at fair market value where the security is either repossessed or goes into foreclosure proceedings. The Bank then incurs all costs associated with repossession and foreclosure. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The objective of HPCI's liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all of its financial commitments. In managing liquidity, management takes into account various legal limitations placed on a REIT. HPCI's principal liquidity needs are to pay operating expenses and dividends and acquire additional participation interests as the underlying loans in its portfolio paydown or mature. Operating expenses and dividends are expected to be funded through cash generated by operations, while the acquisition of additional participation interests in loans is intended to be funded with the proceeds obtained from repayment of principal balances by individual borrowers and new capital contributions. HPCI intends to pay dividends on its preferred securities and common stock in amounts necessary to continue to preserve its status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. At June 30, 2003 and 2002, HPCI maintained interest bearing and non-interest bearing cash balances with the Bank totaling $482.8 million and $862.4 million, respectively. HPCI maintains and transacts all of its cash activity with the Bank and invests available funds in Eurodollar deposits with the Bank for a term of not more than 30 days. To the extent that the board of directors determines that additional funding is required, management may raise such funds through additional equity offerings, debt financings, or retention of cash flow, or a combination of these methods. However, any cash flow retention must be consistent with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code requiring the distribution by a REIT of at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, excluding capital gains, and must take into account taxes that would be imposed on undistributed income. Management does not anticipate that additional funding will be required for at least the next twelve months. 21 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Quantitative and qualitative disclosures for the current period are found beginning on page 19 of this report, which includes changes in market risk exposures from disclosures presented in HPCI's 2002 Annual Report. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES HPCI, in conjunction with Huntington, carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the President (Chief Executive Officer or CEO) along with the Vice President (Chief Financial Officer or CFO), of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2003, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO along with the CFO concluded that HPCI's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting the CEO and CFO to material information relating to HPCI (including its consolidated subsidiary) required to be included in its periodic SEC filings. In addition, management continually evaluates and enhances its internal control over financial reporting. During the second quarter, HPCI dedicated additional personnel time to the maintenance of financial records, and implemented enhancements to its procedures for reporting and reconciliation of transactions. 22 QUARTERLY STATEMENTS OF INCOME 2003 2002 ---------------------- ------------------------------------ (in thousands of dollars) SECOND FIRST FOURTH THIRD SECOND - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest and fee income Interest on loan participation interests Commercial $ 2,979 $ 3,955 $ 5,734 $ 5,421 $ 6,440 Commercial real estate 45,879 46,957 50,951 53,512 54,290 Consumer 12,388 13,379 16,838 18,198 18,882 Residential real estate 3,000 2,251 2,807 3,403 3,851 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total loan participation interest income 64,246 66,542 76,330 80,534 83,463 Fees from loan participation interests 2,609 2,733 1,988 2,135 2,737 Interest bearing deposits with The Huntington National Bank 2,015 1,854 3,138 4,033 3,284 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL INTEREST AND FEE INCOME 68,870 71,129 81,456 86,702 89,484 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Provision (credit) for loan losses (15,000) -- (20,000) -- 3,000 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET INTEREST INCOME AFTER PROVISION (CREDIT) FOR LOAN LOSSES 83,870 71,129 101,456 86,702 86,484 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-interest income Rental income 1,463 1,806 1,520 1,530 1,533 Collateral fees 146 160 177 191 273 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL NON-INTEREST INCOME 1,609 1,966 1,697 1,721 1,806 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-interest expense Servicing fees 1,750 1,575 1,647 1,623 1,715 Depreciation and amortization 1,383 1,401 1,437 1,428 1,450 Loss on disposal of fixed assets -- 325 -- 29 -- Other 95 57 150 72 92 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL NON-INTEREST EXPENSE 3,228 3,358 3,234 3,152 3,257 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES 82,251 69,737 99,919 85,271 85,033 Income taxes 24 24 25 22 25 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET INCOME BEFORE PREFERRED DIVIDENDS 82,227 69,713 99,894 85,249 85,008 DIVIDENDS ON PREFERRED STOCK 4,787 5,074 5,709 5,892 6,231 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET INCOME APPLICABLE TO COMMON SHARES $ 77,440 $ 64,639 $ 94,185 $ 79,357 $ 78,777 ======================================================================================================================= 23 PART II.
