Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 — Organization
     Huntington Preferred Capital, Inc. (HPCI) was organized under Ohio law in 1992 and designated as a real estate investment trust (REIT) in 1998. Four related parties own HPCI’s common stock: Huntington Capital Financing LLC (HCF); Huntington Preferred Capital II, Inc. (HPCII); Huntington Preferred Capital Holdings, Inc. (Holdings); and Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (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). HCF, HPCII, and Holdings are direct and indirect subsidiaries of The Huntington National Bank (the Bank), a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Huntington. Huntington is a multi-state diversified financial holding company organized under Maryland law and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. At March 31, 2007, the Bank, on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries, accounted for 99% of Huntington’s consolidated total assets and, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, accounted for 87% of Huntington’s consolidated net income. Thus, consolidated financial statements for the Bank and for Huntington were substantially the same for these periods.
Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Pronouncements
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HPCI 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 the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in HPCI’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K (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.
     HPCI 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 federal 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.
     All of HPCI’s common stock is owned by affiliates; therefore, net income per common share information is not presented.
     Cash and cash equivalents used in the Statement of Cash Flows is defined as “Cash and Interest bearing deposits with The Huntington National Bank.”
Financial Accounting Standards Board (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. HPCI adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. HPCI 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 HPCI’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows (See Note 9).

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Note 3 — Lending Concentrations and Participations in Non-Performing Assets and Past Due Loans
     There were no underlying loans outstanding that would be considered a concentration of lending in any particular industry, group of industries, or business activity. Underlying loans were, however, generally collateralized by real estate. Loans made to borrowers in the four states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Kentucky comprised 95.2%, 94.6%, and 95.1% of the portfolio at March 31, 2007, December 31, 2006, and March 31, 2006, respectively.
     Participations in loans on non-accrual status and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, were as follows:
                         
    March 31,   December 31,   March 31,

Residential real estate
    1,659       1,159       2,144  
 
Total participations in non-performing assets
  $ 28,472     $ 25,302     $ 25,667  
 
Participations in accruing loans past due 90 days or more
  $ 3,046     $ 5,392     $ 3,402  
 
Note 4 — Allowances for Credit Losses (ACL)
     The allowances for credit losses (ACL) are comprised of the allowance for loan participation losses (ALPL) and the allowance for unfunded loan participation commitments (AULPC). Loan participations are acquired net of related ALPL. As a result, this ALPL is transferred to HPCI from the Bank and is reflected as ALPL acquired, rather than HPCI having to record a provision expense for ALPL. If credit quality deteriorates more than implied by the ALPL acquired, a provision to the ALPL is made. If credit quality performance is better than implied by the ALPL acquired, an ALPL reduction is recorded. Over time as loan participations mature, refinance, or other such actions occur, their allowance, not absorbed by loan losses, is released through the Reduction in ALPL.
     The following table reflects activity in the ACL for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:

     Holders of Class A preferred securities, a majority of which are held by Holdings and the remainder by current and past employees of the Bank, 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 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 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.

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.

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.
