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. Three related parties own HPCI’s common stock: HPC Holdings-III, Inc. (HPCH-III), Huntington Preferred Capital II, Inc. (HPCII), and Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington). HPCI and HPCII are subsidiaries of HPCH-III, which is a subsidiary of Huntington Preferred Capital Holdings, Inc. (Holdings). Holdings is a subsidiary 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. 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 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 2003 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 Huntington, HPCII, and HPCH-III and, therefore, net income per common share information is not presented.

     Cash and cash equivalents used in the Statement of Cash Flows is defined as the sum of “Cash” and “Interest bearing deposits with The Huntington National Bank”.

AICPA Statement of Position No. 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer (SOP 03-3): In December 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued SOP 03-3, to address accounting for differences between the contractual cash flows of certain loans and debt securities and the cash flows expected to be collected when loans or debt securities are acquired in a transfer and those cash flow differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. As such, SOP 03-3 applies to such loans and debt securities purchased or acquired in purchase business combinations and does not apply to originated loans. The application of SOP 03-3 limits the interest income, including accretion of purchase price discounts, that may be recognized for certain loans and debt securities prior to the receipt of cash. Additionally, SOP 03-3 requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected (nonaccretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield or valuation allowance, such as the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to the initial investment, increases in expected cash flows generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the loan or debt security over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows should be recognized as impairment. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans and debt securities acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004, with early application encouraged. The impact of this new pronouncement is not expected to be material to HPCI’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 3 — Participations in Non-Performing Loans and Past Due Loans

     Participations in loans in non-accrual status and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, were as follows:

(1) At September 30, 2004, HPCI adopted a new policy of placing consumer home equity loan participations on non-accrual status when they exceed 180 days past due. Prior practice was to continue to accrue interest until collection or resolution of the loan participations. Such loan participations were previously classified as accruing loans past due 90 days or more.

     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 96.3%, 94.8%, and 93.9%, of the portfolio at September 30, 2004, December 31, 2003, and September 30, 2003, respectively.

Note 4 — Allowances for Credit Losses (ACL)

     The ACL is comprised of the allowance for loan losses (ALL) and the allowance for unfunded loan participation commitments (AULPC). The following tables reflect activity in the ACL for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003:

     Effective March 31, 2004, HPCI reclassified $4.3 million of its ALL to a separate liability on the balance sheet titled AULPC. The AULPC is based on expected loss derived from historical experience. HPCI believes that this reclassification better reflects the nature of this reserve and represents improved financial statement disclosure. Prior period financial statements have not been revised due to immateriality. For the third quarter 2004, AULPC was reduced by $741 thousand due to lower unfunded loan participation commitment balances. Since March 31, 2004, AULPC has declined by $1.2 million.

Note 5 — Dividends

     Holders of Class A preferred securities, a majority of which are held by HPCH-III 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.
