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) 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 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, (2006 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 2007 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. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R (Statement No. 158) – In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158, as an amendment to FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R. Statement No. 158 requires an employer to recognize in its statement of financial position the funded status of its defined benefit plans and to recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, any unrecognized transition obligations and assets, the actuarial gains and losses, and prior service costs and credits that arise during the period. The recognition provisions of Statement No. 158 are to be applied prospectively and were effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. In addition, Statement No. 158 requires a fiscal year end measurement of plan assets and benefit obligations, eliminating the use of earlier measurement dates currently permissible. However, the new measurement date requirement will not be effective until fiscal years ended after December 15, 2008. Currently, Huntington utilizes a measurement date of September 30th. The adoption of Statement No. 158 as of December 31, 2006 resulted in a write-down of its pension asset by $125.1 million, and decreased accumulated other comprehensive income by $83.0 million, net of taxes.

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. Huntington adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. Huntington recognizes 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 impact of this new pronouncement was not material to Huntington’s financial statements (See Note 9).

FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (Statement No. 157) – In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157. This Statement establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to GAAP guidance requiring use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. Statement No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently assessing the impact this Statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Statement No. 159) – In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact this Statement will have on its financial statements.

Note 3 – Pending Acquisition of Sky Financial Group, Inc.

On December 20, 2006, Huntington announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Sky Financial Group, Inc. (Sky Financial) in a stock and cash transaction expected to be valued at approximately $3.5 billion. Sky Financial is a $17.6 billion diversified financial holding company with over 330 banking offices and over 400 ATMs. Sky Financial serves communities in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan, and West Virginia. Sky Financial’s affiliates include: Sky Bank, commercial and retail banking; Sky Trust, asset management services; and Sky Insurance, retail and commercial insurance agency services.

Under the terms of the agreement, Sky Financial shareholders will receive 1.098 shares of Huntington common stock, on a tax-free basis, and a taxable cash payment of $3.023 for each share of Sky Financial common stock. The merger was unanimously approved by both boards and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2007, pending customary regulatory approvals, as well as approval by both companies’ shareholders.

Note 4 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill by line of business as of March 31, 2007, was as follows:


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

Balance, January 1, 2007	$	535,855	$	—	$	35,021		$	—	$	570,876

Balance, March 31, 2007	$	536,064	$	—	$	33,715		$	—	$	569,779

The change in goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily relates to purchase accounting adjustments from the December 31, 2006 acquisition of Unified Fund Services, Inc. and Unified Financial Securities, Inc. 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 or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

At March 31, 2007, December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2006, Huntington’s other intangible assets consisted of the following:


	Gross		Accumulated			Net

Amortization expense of other intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and 2006, was $2.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

The estimated amortization expense of other intangible assets for the remainder of 2007 and the next five annual years are as follows:

Note 5 – Loan Sales and Securitizations

Automobile loans

Huntington sold $141.3 million and $169.8 million of automobile loans in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, resulting in pre-tax gains of $1.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Automobile loan servicing rights are acccounted for under the amortization provision of FASB Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 . A servicing asset is established at 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 ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the fair value at the end of each period were as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(in thousands)	2007			2006

Carrying value, beginning of period	$	7,916		$	10,805
New servicing assets		1,026			998
Amortization		(1,756	)		(2,193	)
Impairment charges		—			—

Carrying value, end of period	$	7,186		$	9,610


Fair value, end of period	$	8,153		$	11,086

Huntington has retained servicing responsibilities on sold automobile loans and receives annual servicing fees from 0.55% to 1.00% and other ancillary fees of approximately 0.40% to 0.45% of the outstanding loan balances. Servicing income, net of amortization of capitalized servicing assets, amounted to $3.0 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2007, Huntington sold $108.7 million of residential mortgage loans held for investment, resulting in a net pre-tax gain of $0.6 million. There were no sales of residential mortgage loans held for investment in the first quarter of 2006.

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.

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. The same risk management practices are applied to all MSRs and, accordingly, all MSRs are identified as a single asset class. 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 mortgage banking 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 ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(in thousands)	2007			2006

Fair value, beginning of period	$	131,104			109,890
New servicing assets created		8,436			5,777
Servicing assets acquired		—			1,909
Change in fair value during the period due to:
Time decay ⁽¹⁾		(1,076	)		(923	)
Payoffs ⁽²⁾		(2,562	)		(2,609	)
Changes in valuation inputs or assumptions ⁽³⁾		(1,057	)		9,213

Fair value, end of period	$	134,845		$	123,257


⁽¹⁾		Represents decrease in value due to passage of time, including the impact from both regularly scheduled loan principal payments and partial loan paydowns.

⁽²⁾		Represents decrease in value associated with loans that paid off during the period.

⁽³⁾		Represents change in value resulting primarily from market-driven changes in interest rates.

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 March 31, 2007 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		13.19	%	$	(6,329	)	$	(12,088	)
Discount rate		9.40			(4,890	)		(9,440	)

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.

Below is a summary of servicing fee income, a component of mortgage banking income, earned during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Duration in years ⁽¹⁾				3.2				3.2				2.8


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

At March 31, 2007, non marketable equity securities includes $123.0 million of stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and $27.8 million of stock of the Federal Reserve Bank.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, gross gains from sales of securities totaled $5.0 million and gross losses totaled $4.9 million. Gross losses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 included $3.3 million of impairment losses on certain securities backed by mortgage loans to borrowers with low FICO scores. Including impairment recognized in the forth quarter of 2006, at March 31, 2007, these securities had a carrying value of $14.8 million. Gross gains and losses from the sales of securities were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

As of March 31, 2007, Management has evaluated all other investment securities with unrealized losses and all non-marketable securities for impairment. The unrealized losses were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms and/or cash flows of the investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost. Huntington has the intent and ability to hold these investment securities until the fair value is recovered, which may be maturity, and therefore, does not consider them to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2007.

Note 7 – 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 to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include incremental shares issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options, the vesting of restricted stock units, and the distribution of shares from deferred compensation plans. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, was as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	2007		2006

Net income	$	95,726	$	104,456
Average common shares outstanding		235,586		230,968
Dilutive potential common shares		3,168		3,395

Diluted average common shares outstanding		238,754		234,363


Earnings per share
Basic	$	0.41	$	0.45
Diluted		0.40		0.45

Options to purchase 6.9 million and 5.7 million shares during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, 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 $25.21 per share and $25.68 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note 8 – Share-based Compensation

Huntington sponsors nonqualified and incentive share-based compensation plans. These plans provide for the granting of stock options and other awards to officers, directors, and other employees. Stock options are granted at the market price on the date of the grant. 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.

Beginning in 2006, Huntington began granting restricted stock units under the 2004 Stock and Long-Term Incentive Plan. Restricted stock units are issued at no cost to the recipient, and can be settled only in shares at the end of the vesting period, subject to certain service restrictions. The fair value of the restricted stock unit awards was based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of award.

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 24.8 million shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the plans at March 31, 2007, 20.9 million were outstanding and 3.9 million were available for future grants.

Huntington uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value share-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.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the amount by which the fair value of underlying stock exceeds the option exercise price. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, was $1.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

Cash received from the exercise of options for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $3.9 million and $9.4 million, respectively. The tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises totaled $0.9 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Huntington issues shares to fulfill stock option exercises and restricted stock units from available shares held in treasury. At March 31, 2007, the Company believes there are adequate shares in treasury to satisfy anticipated stock option exercises in 2007.

The following table summarizes the status of Huntington’s restricted stock units as of March 31, 2007 and activity for the three months ended March 31, 2007:

As of March 31, 2007, the total compensation cost related to restricted stock units not yet recognized was $7.9 million with a weighted-average expense recognition period of 2.3 years. The total fair value of restricted stock units vested during the three months ended March 31, 2007, was $0.1 million.

Note 9 – Income Taxes

The company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state, city, and foreign jurisdictions. Federal income tax audits have been resolved through 2003. Various state and city jurisdictions remain open to examination for tax years 2000 and forward.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The implementation of FIN 48 did not impact the Company’s financial statements. As of January 1, 2007, there were no unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income tax assessments or income tax refunds in the financial statements as a component of its provision for income taxes.

Note 10 – 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 required minimum contribution for 2007 to the Plan.

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 $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

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 $2.8 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note 11 – 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 March 31, 2007, December 31, 2006, and March 31, 2006, were as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,		March 31,
(in millions)	2007		2006		2006

Contract amount represents credit risk
Commitments to extend credit
Commercial	$	4,385	$	4,416	$	3,295
Consumer		3,482		3,374		3,410
Commercial real estate		1,664		1,645		1,648
Standby letters of credit		1,197		1,156		1,095
Commercial letters of credit		38		54		43

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 $4.3 million, $4.3 million, and $5.3 million at March 31, 2007, December 31, 2006, and March 31, 2006, 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 March 31, 2007, December 31, 2006, and March 31, 2006, Huntington had commitments to sell residential real estate loans of $373.7 million, $319.9 million, and $406.3 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 March 31, 2007, approximately $61.8 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.

These derivative financial instruments were entered into for the purpose of altering the interest rate risk of assets and liabilities. Consequently, net amounts receivable or payable on contracts hedging either interest earning assets or interest bearing liabilities were accrued as an adjustment to either interest income or interest expense. The net amount resulted in an increase to net interest income of $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Collateral agreements are regularly entered into as part of the underlying derivative agreements with Huntington’s counterparties to mitigate the credit risk associated with derivatives. At March 31, 2007, December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2006, aggregate credit risk associated with these derivatives, net of collateral that has been pledged by the counterparty, was $23.6 million, $42.6 million and $21.3 million, respectively. The credit risk associated with interest rate swaps is calculated after considering master netting agreements.

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. The interest rate risk of these customer derivatives is mitigated by entering into similar derivatives having offsetting terms with other counterparties.

Supplying these derivatives to customers results in non-interest 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 $3.4 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The total notional value of derivative financial instruments used by Huntington on behalf of customers, including offsetting derivatives was $4.9 billion, $4.6 billion, and $4.3 billion at March 31, 2007, December 31, 2006, and March 31, 2006, respectively. Huntington’s credit risk from interest rate swaps used for trading purposes was $57.9 million, $40.0 million, and $56.2 million at the same dates.

Huntington also uses certain derivative financial instruments to offset changes in value of its residential mortgage servicing assets. These derivatives consist primarily of forward interest rate agreements, and forward mortgage securities. The derivative instruments used are not designated as hedges under Statement No. 133. Accordingly, such derivatives are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in mortgage banking income . The total notional value of these derivative financial instruments at March 31, 2007, was $2.1 billion. The total notional amount corresponds to trading assets with a fair value of $1.7 million and trading liabilities with a fair value of $1.4 million. Total losses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $0.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

In connection with securitization activities, Huntington purchased interest rate caps with a notional value totaling $1.6 billion. These purchased caps were assigned to the securitization trust for the benefit of the security holders. Interest rate caps were also sold totaling $1.6 billion outside the securitization structure. Both the purchased and sold caps are marked to market through income.

Note 13 – Shareholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program:

On April 20, 2006, the Company announced that its 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 2006 Repurchase Program cancelled and replaced the prior share repurchase program, authorized by the board of directors in 2005. The Company announced its expectation to repurchase the shares from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions depending on market conditions.

Huntington did not repurchase any shares under the 2006 Repurchase Program for the three months ended March 31, 2007. At the end of the period, 3,850,000 shares may be purchased under the 2006 Repurchase Program.

Note 14 – 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 375 branches, over 1,000 ATMs, along with Internet and telephone banking channels. It also provides certain services outside of these five states, including mortgage banking and equipment leasing. 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 57% and 77% 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, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Dealer Sales finances the purchase of automobiles by customers at the automotive dealerships, purchases automobiles from dealers and simultaneously leases the automobiles to consumers under long-term leases, finances the dealerships’ new and used vehicle inventories, dealership real estate, or dealer 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 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. The net interest income/(expense) of this segment 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, as well as any investment securities and trading assets gains or losses. The non-interest expense includes certain corporate administrative and other miscellaneous expenses not allocated to other business segments. This segment also includes any difference between the actual effective tax rate of Huntington and the statutory tax rate used to allocate income taxes to the other segments.

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. 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 months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, operating earnings were the same as reported GAAP.

Listed below are certain financial results by line of business. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, 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, reinsure private mortgage insurance; reinsure credit life and disability insurance; and 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, Tennessee, and Vermont. 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 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2006 Form 10-K), as updated by the information contained in this report, should be read in conjunction with these 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 Items 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 – Provides an overview of financial performance for each of our major lines of business and provides additional discussion of trends underlying consolidated financial performance.

Forward-Looking Statements

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

By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual conditions, events, or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the businesses of Huntington and that of any pending or approved acquisition may not be integrated successfully or such integration may take longer to accomplish than expected; the expected cost savings and any revenue synergies from the acquisition may not be fully realized within the expected timeframes; disruption from the acquisition may make it more difficult to maintain relationships with clients, associates, or suppliers; the required governmental approvals of the acquisition may not be obtained on the proposed terms and schedule; if required by the acquisition, Huntington and/or the stockholders of the company of any pending or approved acquisition may not approve the merger; changes in economic conditions; movements in interest rates; competitive pressures on product pricing and services; success and timing of other business strategies; the nature, extent, and timing of governmental actions

and reforms; and extended disruption of vital infrastructure; and other factors described in Item 1A of Huntington’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the corresponding annual report on Form 10-K of any pending or approved acquisition, and other factors described from time to time in Huntington’s, or any pending or approved acquisition’s, other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.)

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 2006 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.

Pending Acquisition of Sky Financial

On December 20, 2006, we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Sky Financial Group, Inc. (Sky Financial) in a stock and cash transaction expected to be valued at approximately $3.5 billion. As of March 31, 2007, Sky Financial was a $17.6 billion diversified financial holding company with over 330 financial centers and over 400 ATMs. Sky Financial serves communities in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan and West Virginia. Sky Financial’s financial service affiliates include: Sky Bank, commercial and retail banking; Sky Trust, asset management services; and Sky Insurance, retail and commercial insurance agency services.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This section provides a review of financial performance from a consolidated perspective. It also includes a Significant Items 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.

Certain components of the Income Statement are naturally subject to more volatility than others. As a result, such items may be viewed differently in comparing actual performance to expectations and/or any implications resulting from an assessment of future performance trends. Therefore, we believe the disclosure of certain “Significant Items” in current and prior period results aids in better understanding corporate performance. The decision of whether to include or exclude these items from an analysis of performance is subjective.

To this end, we have adopted a practice of listing as “Significant Items” in our external disclosure documents (e.g., earnings press releases, investor presentations, Forms 10-Q and 10-K) individual and/or particularly volatile items that impact the current period results by $0.01 per share or more. (The one exception is the provision for credit losses discussed below). Such “Significant Items” generally fall within one of two categories: timing differences and other items.

Timing Differences

Some of our regular business activities are volatile by nature; e.g., capital markets income, gains and losses on the sale of loans, etc. While such items may generally be expected to occur within a full-year reporting period, they may vary significantly from period to period. Such items are also typically a component of an Income Statement line item and not, therefore, readily discernable.

Other Items

From time to time, an event or transaction might significantly impact revenues, expenses or taxes in a particular reporting period that are judged to be one-time, short-term in nature, and/or materially outside typically expected performance. Examples would be (1) merger-related integration costs as they typically impact expenses for only a few quarters during the period of transition; e.g., restructuring charges, asset valuation adjustments, etc.; (2) changes in an accounting principle; (3) one-time tax assessments/refunds; (4) a large gain/loss on the sale of an asset; (5) outsized commercial loan net charge-off related to fraud; etc.

Provision for Credit Losses

While the provision for credit losses may vary significantly between periods, we exclude it from the list of “Significant Items.”

The provision for credit losses is always an assumption in expectations of earnings and there is apparent agreement among analysts that provision expense is included in the definition of “underlying” or “core” earnings unlike “timing differences” or “other items.” In addition, provision for credit losses is an individual Income Statement line item so its value is easily known and, except in very rare situations, the amount in any reporting period always exceeds $0.01 per share. In addition, the factors influencing the level of provision for credit losses receive detailed additional disclosure and analysis so that information is readily available to understand the underlying factors that result in the reported provision for credit losses amount.

In addition, provision for credit losses trends usually increase/decrease in a somewhat orderly pattern in conjunction with credit quality cycle changes; i.e., as credit quality improves provision expense generally declines and vice versa. While they may have differing views regarding magnitude and/or trends in provision expense, every analyst and most investors incorporate a provision expense estimate in their financial performance estimates.

Other Exclusions

“Significant Items” for any particular period are not intended to be a complete list of items that may significantly impact future periods. A number of factors, including those described in Huntington’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K and

other factors described from time to time in Huntington’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, could significantly impact future periods.

Summary

Earnings comparisons of 2007 first quarter performance with that of the 2006 first and fourth quarters were impacted by a number of factors, some related to changes in the economic and competitive environment, while others reflected specific strategies or changes in accounting practices. Understanding the nature and implications of these 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 previous quarters. The key factors impacting the current reporting period comparisons are more fully described in the Significant Items Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons section, which follows this summary discussion of results.

2007 First Quarter versus 2006 First Quarter

Net income for the first quarter of 2007 was $95.7 million, or $0.40 per common share, compared with $104.5 million, or $0.45 per common share, in the year-ago quarter. This $8.7 million decrease in net income primarily reflected the negative impacts of:

	•		$14.4 million, or 9% decline in total non-interest income. Items contributing to the decline included (1) a $14.2 million decline in automobile operating lease income as that portfolio continued to run off, (2) an $8.5 million loss on equity investments in the current period, and (3) a decline in mortgage banking income primarily related to the negative impact of a mortgage servicing rights (MSR) valuation adjustment. These negative impacts were partially offset by higher trust services income, service charges on deposit accounts, and other service charges and fees. The Unizan merger contributed $4.8 million of growth to non-interest income. (See Non-interest Income discussion for details.)

	•		$9.9 million, or 51%, increase in provision for credit losses, reflecting a higher allowance for credit losses for both an absolute and relative basis. This was due to softness in the residential and commercial real estate markets as reflected in higher levels of “watch list” credits. (See Provision for Credit Losses and the Credit Risk discussions for details.)

	•		$3.7 million, or 2%, increase in total non-interest expense. This reflected higher personnel, outside data processing and other service expenses, net occupancy, equipment, amortization of intangibles, and professional services expense, partially offset by a $7.5 million decline in other expense, including a $10.6 million decline in automobile operating lease expense. The Unizan merger contributed $11.5 million to the increase in total non-interest expense. (See Non-interest Expense discussion for details.)

Partially offset by:

	•		$11.9 million, or 5%, increase in net interest income. This reflected the benefit of $1.1 billion, or 4%, growth in average earning assets ($1.3 billion, or 5%, in average total loans and leases), and a 4 basis point increase in the net interest margin to 3.36% from 3.32% in the year-ago quarter. The Unizan merger added an estimated $11.8 million to net interest income with the addition of $1.1 billion in loans and leases. (See Net Interest Income discussion for details.)

	•		$7.3 million reduction in federal income tax expense, primarily due to an increase in tax-exempt income and general business credits, as well as a decrease in pre-tax earnings. (See Provision for Income Taxes discussion for details.)

The return on average assets (ROA) and return on average equity (ROE) in the 2007 first quarter were 1.11% and 12.9%, respectively, compared with 1.26% and 15.5%, respectively, in the year-ago quarter ( see Table 1).

2007 First Quarter versus 2006 Fourth Quarter

Net income for the first quarter of 2007 was $95.7 million, or $0.40 per common share, compared with $87.7 million, or $0.37 per common share, in the prior quarter. This $8.0 million increase in net income primarily reflected the positive impacts of:

	•		$25.7 million, or 10%, reduction in total non-interest expense, reflecting higher 2006 fourth quarter other expense due to that quarter’s contribution to the Huntington Foundation, higher residual value losses on automobile leases, costs associated with the restructuring of FHLB advances; and a decrease in current quarter personnel and professional services costs; partially offset by higher current quarter net occupancy, marketing, and outside data processing and other services expense. (See Non-interest Expense discussion for details.)

	•		$4.6 million, or 3%, increase in total non-interest income reflecting the positive impact of a $15.9 million positive change in securities gains (losses) as the fourth quarter included $15.8 million of securities losses associated with that quarter’s balance sheet restructuring; and increases in mortgage banking, trust services, and brokerage and insurance income; partially offset by a $14.0 million decline in other income, including the current quarter’s equity investment loss compared with a gain on the sale of MasterCard â stock in the fourth quarter; and a seasonal decline in service charges on deposit accounts. (See Non-interest Income discussion for details.)

Partially offset by:

	•		$13.7 million, or 9%, increase in provision for credit losses, reflecting a higher allowance for credit losses for both an absolute and relative basis. This was due to softness in the residential and commercial real estate markets as reflected in higher levels of “watch list” credits. (See Provision for Credit Losses and the Credit Risk discussions for details.)

	•		$6.2 million, or 2%, increase in federal income tax expense, primarily due to lower pre-tax earnings in 2006. (See Provision for Income Taxes discussion for details.)

	•		$2.4 million, or 1%, decline in net interest income. This primarily reflected a decline in average earning assets, primarily in average investment securities and average total consumer loans, partially offset by the positive impact of an 8 basis point increase in the net interest margin to 3.36%. (See Net Interest Income discussion for details.)

The ROA and ROE in the 2007 first quarter were 1.11% and 12.9%, respectively, compared with 0.98% and 11.3%, respectively, in the 2006 fourth quarter ( see Table 1).

Significant Items Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons

Earnings comparisons from the beginning of 2006 through the first quarter of 2007 were impacted by a number of factors, reflecting specific strategies or changes in accounting practices. Those key factors are summarized below.

Balance Sheet Restructuring . In third and fourth quarters of 2006, we utilized the excess capital resulting from the third quarter’s favorable resolution to certain federal income tax audits to restructure certain under-performing components of the balance sheet. Total securities losses as a result of these actions totaled $73.3 million. The refinancing of FHLB funding and the sale of mortgage loans resulted in total charges of $4.4 million, resulting in total balance sheet restructuring costs of $77.7 million ($0.21 per common share). Our actions impacted 2006 third and fourth quarter results as follows:

	•		$57.5 million pre-tax ($0.16 per common share) negative impact in the 2006 third quarter from securities impairment. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the company initiated a review of its investment securities portfolio. The objective of this review was to reposition the portfolio to optimize performance in light of changing economic conditions and other factors. A total of $2.1 billion of securities, primarily consisting of U.S. Treasury, agency securities, and mortgage-backed securities, as well as certain other asset-backed securities, were identified as other-than-temporarily impaired as a result of this review.

	•		$20.2 million pre-tax ($13.1 million after tax or $0.05 per common share) negative impact in the 2006 fourth quarter related to costs associated with the completion of the balance sheet restructuring. This consisted of $9.0 million pretax of investment securities losses as well as $6.8 million of additional impairment on certain asset-backed securities not included in the third quarter restructuring, and $4.4 million pre-tax of other balance sheet restructuring expenses, most notably FHLB funding refinancing costs.

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 $1.6 billion of loans, and core deposits of $1.5 billion. Unizan results were only in consolidated results for a partial quarter in the 2006 first quarter, but fully impact all quarters thereafter. As a result, performance comparisons between 2007 first quarter and the 2006 first quarter periods are affected, as Unizan results were not in the prior period for a full quarter. In contrast, comparisons between the 2007 first and 2006 fourth quarter results are not affected given Unizan fully impacted both of these quarters. Comparisons of the 2007 first quarter compared with the 2006 first quarter reporting periods are impacted as follows:

	•		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 net merger costs were $1.0 million in the 2006 first quarter, and a net cost recovery of $0.4 million in the 2006 fourth quarter.

Given the impact of the merger on reported 2006 results, we believe that an understanding of the impacts of the merger is necessary to understand better 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.

An analysis reflecting the estimated impact of the Unizan merger on our reported average balance sheet and income statement can be found in Table 20 – Estimated Impact of Unizan Merger.

3.		Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) and related hedging. 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.

		Mortgage banking income reflected a $2.0 million pre-tax ($1.3 million after tax or $0.01 per common share) for the 2007 first quarter, and $2.5 million pre-tax ($1.6 million after tax or $0.01 per common share) for the 2006

		fourth quarter due to the negative MSR mark-to-market impact, net of hedge-related trading activity.

		Beginning in the first quarter 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (Statement) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140), which allowed us to carry MSRs at fair value. This resulted in a $5.1 million pre-tax ($0.01 per common share) positive impact in the 2006 first quarter. 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. MSR assets are included in other assets (reference Tables 2, 5, and 6) .

4.		Effective tax rate. For 2006, impacts included an $84.5 million ($0.35 per common share) reduction of federal income tax expense from the release of tax reserves as a result of the resolution of the federal income tax audit for 2002 and 2003, and the recognition of a federal tax loss carry back.

5.		Other significant items influencing earnings performance comparisons. In addition to other items discussed separately in this section, a number of other items impacted financial results. These included:

		2007 — First Quarter

	•		$8.5 million pre-tax ($5.5 million after tax or $0.02 per common share) in equity investment losses, resulting from investments in three hedge funds with a combined market value at March 31, 2007 of $25.9 million. These funds are invested in financial services-related companies, some of which are involved in sub-prime lending or related activities, and were particularly hard hit by declining equity values.

	•		$1.9 million pre-tax ($1.2 million after tax or $0.01 per common share) negative impact due to litigation losses inherited from a bank acquired more than 9 years ago.

2006 — Fourth Quarter

	•		$10.0 million pre-tax ($6.5 million after tax or $0.03 per common share) contribution to the Huntington Foundation.

	•		$5.2 million pre-tax ($3.6 million after tax or $0.02 per common share) increase in automobile lease residual value losses. This increase reflected higher relative losses on vehicles sold at auction, most notably high-line imports and larger sport utility vehicles.

	•		$4.5 million pre-tax ($2.9 million after tax or $0.01 per common share) in severance and consolidation expenses. This reflected severance-related expenses associated with a reduction of 75 Regional Banking staff positions, as well as costs associated with the retirements of a vice chairman and an executive vice president.

	•		$3.3 million pre-tax ($2.1 million after tax or $0.01 per common share) in equity investment gains.

	•		$2.6 million pre-tax ($1.7 million after tax or $0.01 per common share) gain related to the sale of MasterCard ^® stock.

2006 — First Quarter

•

$2.3 million pre-tax ($1.6 million after tax or $0.01 per common share) negative impact, reflecting a cumulative adjustment to defer annual fees related to home equity loans. This adjustment reduced the year-ago net interest margin by 3 basis points.

Net Interest Income

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Items 1 and 2.)

2007 First Quarter versus 2006 First Quarter

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $12.1 million, or 5% ($11.8 million merger-related), from the year-ago quarter, reflecting the favorable impact of a $1.1 billion, or 4%, increase in average earning assets, and an increase in the net interest margin of 4 basis points to 3.36%. The cumulative adjustment for annual fees related to home equity loans reduced the year-ago net interest margin by 3 basis points. Average total loans and leases increased $1.3 billion, or 5% ($1.1 billion merger-related). This primarily reflected growth in commercial loans, partially offset by declines in total consumer loans.

Average total commercial loans increased $1.3 billion, or 12% ($0.5 billion merger-related). This growth reflected a $0.9 billion, or 17%, increase in average middle market C&I loans and a $0.4 billion, or 21%, increase in average small business loans. Average middle market CRE loans were essentially unchanged.

Average residential mortgages increased $0.2 billion, or 4%, and average home equity loans increased 2%. However, without the favorable impact attributed to the Unizan merger, both would have declined. These declines reflected continued softness in these markets and sales of mortgage loans in each of the last three quarters.

Compared with the year-ago quarter, average total automobile loans and leases decreased $0.3 billion, or 7%, with the Unizan merger having no significant impact. The decrease primarily reflected continued softness in lease production levels over this period from low consumer demand and competitive pricing.

Average automobile loans increased $0.2 billion, or 11%. This growth reflected two factors: (1) the purchase of the residual portion of two matured 2003 automobile loan securitizations, and (2) growth indirectly related to the introduction of the “Huntington Plus” program for automobile dealers in the latter half of last year. This is a program where lower credit-

scored automobile loans are originated for dealers and then sold without recourse the next day to an independent third party. As such, this program did not directly impact average balances. However, it did influence dealers to increase their overall allocation of automobile loan applications with higher credit scores to Huntington, resulting in an 18% increase in prime loan production during the quarter as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006 and growth in related average balances.

Average total investment securities decreased 11% from the 2006 first quarter, reflecting our strategy to reduce the level of investment securities as part of our interest rate risk management.

Average total core deposits in the 2007 first quarter increased $1.2 billion, or 6% ($1.0 billion merger-related), from the year-ago quarter. Most of the increase reflected higher average core certificates of deposit, which increased $1.1 billion ($0.4 billion merger-related) resulting from continued customer demand for higher, fixed rate deposit products. Average interest bearing demand deposits increased $0.4 billion, or 19% ($0.1 billion merger-related), and average non-interest bearing deposits increased $0.1 billion, all merger-related. In contrast, average savings and other domestic deposits declined $0.3 billion, or 9%, and average money market accounts declined $0.1 billion, even though the Unizan merger added $0.2 billion and $0.3 billion of such deposits, respectively.

2007 First Quarter versus 2006 Fourth Quarter

Compared with the 2006 fourth quarter, fully taxable equivalent net interest income decreased $2.5 million, or 1%. This was principally due to the reduction in the number of days in the 2007 first quarter compared with the 2006 fourth quarter. It also reflected a decline in average earning assets, primarily in average investment securities and average total consumer loans, partially offset by the positive impact of an 8 basis point increase in the net interest margin to 3.36%. Half of the increase in the net interest margin reflected the benefit of a lower day count in the first quarter versus fourth quarter, with the remaining improvement equally contributed by an enriched earning asset mix and a lower cost funding mix.

Average total loans and leases declined less than one percent with good growth in average total commercial loans more than offset by a decline in average total consumer loans.

Average total commercial loans increased $0.1 billion, or 1%, from the prior quarter. This included 3% growth in average middle market C&I loans, reflecting a three-percentage point increase in utilization rates. Average small business loans increased 2%. These increases were partially offset by a 2% decline in average middle market CRE loans, reflecting softness in residential real estate markets.

Average residential mortgages decreased $0.1 billion, or 3%, reflecting the full impact of the sale of $103 million of mortgage loans at the end of the 2006 fourth quarter. Average home equity loans declined 1%.

Compared with the 2006 fourth quarter, average total automobile loans and leases declined 1%. The decline primarily reflected an 8% decline in average automobile leases as production levels continued to decline with lease production down 3% from the 2006 fourth quarter. In contrast, average automobile loans increased 5% from the 2006 fourth quarter, reflecting the purchase of the residual portion of two matured 2003 automobile loan securitizations, as well as an 18% increase in automobile loan production.

Average investment securities decreased $0.2 billion, or 5%, from the 2006 fourth quarter, reflecting the decision to sell certain investment securities as part of our interest rate risk management process.

Average total core deposits increased slightly from the 2006 fourth quarter, reflecting growth in average total consumer core deposits, partially offset by a decline in average total commercial core deposits. Average interest bearing demand deposits increased 6% and average core certificates of deposit increased 1%, reflecting the factors impacting comparisons to the year-ago quarter noted above. In contrast, average money market deposits, non-interest bearing demand deposits, and savings and other domestic deposits each declined 1%. The decline in average non-interest bearing demand deposits primarily reflected seasonal factors.

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

Provision for Credit Losses

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

The provision for credit losses is the expense necessary to maintain the ALLL and the 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 2007 first quarter was $29.4 million, up $9.9 million from the year-ago quarter, and up $13.7 million from the 2006 fourth quarter. The provision for credit losses in the 2007 first quarter exceeded same period net charge-offs by $11.3 million . The increases in the provision for credit losses relative to both the year-ago quarter and the prior quarter were attributable to an increase in the transaction reserve component of the allowance for loan losses, which increased 3 basis points during the quarter. The economic reserve component also increased 1 basis point during the quarter. A higher transaction reserve component was attributable to softness in the residential and commercial real estate markets as reflected in higher levels of watch list credits. The provision for credit losses in the year-ago quarter reflected a 1 basis point decrease in the transaction reserve component. In the fourth quarter of 2006, the provision reflected a 2 basis point improvement in the economic reserve component reflecting improvements in consumer confidence and consumer spending.

Non-Interest Income

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Items 1, 2, 3, and 5.)
