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 September 30, 2006, the Bank, on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries, accounted for 99% of Huntington’s (on a consolidated basis) total assets and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, accounted for 95% of Huntington’s 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 2005 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) Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (Statement No. 154) – In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes , and Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements . Statement No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Statement No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this new pronouncement had no impact on HPCI’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

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 95.1%, 95.9%, and 96.2% of the portfolio at September 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, and September 30, 2005, respectively.
     Participations in loans on non-accrual status and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, were as follows:
