NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements
include the accounts of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington) and its
subsidiaries and were prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, and accordingly, reflect all
adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion
of management, necessary to fairly present Huntington's financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. As permitted by
the SEC, these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements do not
include certain information and footnotes normally included in annual financial
statements. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with Huntington's 2001 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

Certain amounts in the prior period's financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had
no effect on net income.

NOTE 2 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of
FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. This Statement rescinds
Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an
amendment of that Statement, Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to
Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. This Statement also rescinds Statement No.
44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. This Statement amends
Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between
the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required
accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are
similar to sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, Statement No. 145 requires
lease modifications to be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback
transactions.

In September 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for
Costs Associated with Exit Activities. This Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). This Statement
requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized using fair value when the liability is incurred. The
provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that
are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged.

In October 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 147, Acquisition of
Certain Financial Institutions. This Statement provides guidance on the
accounting for the acquisition of a financial institution, which had previously
been addressed in FASB Statement No. 72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of
Banking and Thrift Institutions. The provisions of Statement No. 147 are
effective October 1, 2002. This Statement requires the excess of the fair value
of liabilities assumed over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable
assets in a business combination to be recognized as an unidentifiable
intangible asset in accordance with Statement No. 141 and No. 142. In addition,
any long-term customer-relationship intangible assets, such as
depositor-relationship, borrower-relationship, and credit cardholder intangible
assets, will be required to be tested for impairment in accordance with
Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, as amended.

The adoption of Statements No. 145, No. 146, and No. 147 will not have
a material impact on Huntington's results of operations or financial condition.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is the amount of earnings for the period
available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period.
Diluted earnings per share is the amount of earnings available to



7







each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period adjusted for
the potential issuance of common shares for stock options. The calculation of
basic and diluted earnings per share for each of the periods ended September 30,
is as follows:



- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30,
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(in thousands, except per share amounts) 2002 2001 2002 2001
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Net Income $ 98,123 $ 42,629 $278,090 $112,872
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Average common shares outstanding 239,925 251,148 245,554 251,039
Dilutive effect of stock options 1,432 1,055 1,467 498
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diluted common shares outstanding 241,357 252,203 247,021 251,537
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Earnings per share
Basic $ 0.41 $ 0.17 $ 1.13 $ 0.45
Diluted $ 0.41 $ 0.17 $ 1.13 $ 0.45




Approximately 6.2 million and 5.8 million stock options were
outstanding at the end of September 2002 and 2001, respectively, but were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options'
exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares
for the period and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. The weighted
average exercise price for these options was $23.02 per share and $23.31 at the
end of the same respective periods.

NOTE 4 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In September 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the
new rules, goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to annual impairment
tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets continue to be
amortized over their useful lives. At September 30, 2002 and 2001, Huntington
had $218.4 million and $726.1 million in goodwill and other intangible assets,
respectively. The following table reflects the activity in goodwill and other
intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30:

The additions totaling $20.1 million for the third quarter of 2002
primarily related to the September acquisition of LeaseNet Group, Inc., a $90
million leasing company. In the third quarter 2002, Huntington completed the
sale of its Florida insurance operations, the J. Rolfe Davis Insurance Agency,
Inc. (JRD), resulting in a $12.2 million write-off of the remaining associated
goodwill. Impairment related to JRD of $7.0 million was recognized in the second
quarter 2002. In the third quarter of 2001, the impairment related to the exit
of an e-commerce business activity.

Huntington applied the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. In connection with the
adoption of SFAS No. 142, management assessed the fair values of its lines of
business in relation to their carrying value, including goodwill, in each line
of business. Based on this assessment, there was no impairment of goodwill or
other intangible assets. Huntington will continue to test for impairment on an
annual basis as prescribed by SFAS No. 142.



8


Before the sale of Huntington's operations in Florida, a majority of
goodwill and other intangible assets related to those operations. A substantial
portion of the remaining goodwill is attributable to the previously acquired
banking operations reported under the Regional Banking line of business. The
application of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 resulted in an
increase in net income per share of $0.01 for the third quarter and $0.04 for
the first nine months of 2002. Had no amortization of goodwill, net of tax, been
recorded in the prior year, net income and diluted earnings per share for the
third quarter of 2001 would have been greater by $7.8 million, or $0.03 per
share, and $23.3 million, or $0.09 per share, for the first nine-months of 2001.

NOTE 5 - RESTRUCTURING OF MERCHANT SERVICES BUSINESS

In August 2002, Huntington restructured its interest in Huntington
Merchant Services, L.L.C. (HMS), Huntington's merchant services business, in a
transaction with First Data Merchant Services Corporation, a subsidiary of First
Data Corp. Under the agreement, Huntington extended its long-term merchant
services relationship with First Data. In addition, as part of the transaction,
First Data obtained all of Huntington's Florida-related merchant business and
increased its equity interest in HMS. This transaction resulted in a $24.5
million pre-tax, non-operating gain ($16.0 million after tax) in the third
quarter of 2002. Huntington remains a nominal equity owner and, going forward,
this transaction is not expected to have a material impact on Huntington's
financial results.

NOTE 6 - RESTRUCTURING AND SPECIAL CHARGES

In July 2001, Huntington announced a strategic refocusing plan (the
"Plan"). The Plan included the sale of Huntington's Florida banking and
insurance operations, the consolidation of numerous non-Florida branch offices,
as well as certain credit and other actions to strengthen Huntington's balance
sheet and financial performance, including the use of excess regulatory capital
generated by the sale to initiate a share repurchase program.

During 2001, Huntington provided $100.0 million of pre-tax expense to
recognize a liability for these actions and provided $71.7 million of additional
allowance for loan losses in connection with the Plan. In addition, special
charges in 2001 included a $5.2 million pre-tax loss associated with the sale of
Pacific Gas & Electric commercial paper that was reflected in non-interest
income in the consolidated statements of income.

In the first quarter of 2002, Huntington provided an additional $56.2
million of pre-tax expense to recognize additional liabilities related to the
completion of the Plan. Huntington has a remaining reserve of $18.8 million at
September 30, 2002. Huntington expects that the remaining reserve will be
adequate to fund the estimated future cash outlays that are expected in the
completion of the exit activities contemplated by the Plan.

NOTE 7 - SALE OF FLORIDA OPERATIONS

On February 15, 2002, Huntington completed the sale of its Florida
operations to SunTrust Banks, Inc. Included in the sale were $4.8 billion of
deposits and other liabilities and $2.8 billion of loans and other assets.
Huntington received a deposit premium of 15%, or $711.9 million. The total net
pre-tax gain from the sale was $175.3 million and was reflected in non-interest
income. The after-tax gain was $56.7 million, or $0.23 per common share. Income
taxes related to this transaction were $118.6 million, an amount higher than the
tax impact at the statutory rate of 35% because most of the goodwill relating to
the Florida operations was non-deductible for tax purposes. Pro forma financial
information reflecting the effect of the sale is presented and described below.
Since the transaction was completed during the first quarter of 2002, no pro
forma balance sheet is presented in this report.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement is
presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, giving effect to the
sale as if it had occurred on January 1, 2002, and does not include the net gain
realized on the sale of Huntington's Florida operations or any related special
charges. These pro forma financial statements do not include any assumptions as
to future share repurchases pursuant to the previously announced share
repurchase program that commenced following the sale.

The pro forma consolidated income statement may not be indicative of
the results of operations that would have actually occurred had the transaction
been consummated during the period indicated. This pro forma financial
information is also not intended to be an indication of the results of
operations that may be attained in the future. These pro forma consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with Huntington's historical
financial statements.

of operations for JRD through June 20, 2002, and any indirect revenue and
expenses that ceased with the sale of the Florida operations, including $1.1
million of amortization expense on intangible assets related to Florida. In
addition, net interest income in that column includes: (1) a funding credit of
$5.3 million related to $2.0 billion of funding that Florida provided to
Huntington and (2) $1.9 million of interest that would have been earned on the
$711.9 million deposit premium from January 1, 2002 through February 15, 2002.
Both the funding credit and the assumed interest earned on the deposit premium
are based on the average one-year LIBOR rate of 2.15% for the period. The column
entitled Related Transactions reflects the $175.3 million net gain on the sale
of the Florida operations, $32.7 million of the $56.2 million special charges
recorded in the first quarter of 2002 that related to the sale of the Florida
operations, and the applicable income taxes. After excluding the remaining
restructuring and special charges, net of taxes, and the Merchant Services
restructuring gain, as discussed in Note 5, operating earnings were $243.4
million and earnings per share was $0.99 for the first nine-months of 2002.

NOTE 10 - SEGMENT REPORTING

Huntington has four distinct segments: Regional Banking, Dealer Sales,
and the Private Financial Group (PFG) are Huntington's major business lines. The
fourth segment includes Huntington's Treasury function and other unallocated
assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense. Line of business results are
determined based upon Huntington's business profitability reporting system,
which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the business
segments. The process is designed around Huntington's organizational and
management structure and accordingly, the results below are not necessarily
comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions.
During the first quarter of 2002, the previously reported Retail Banking and
Corporate Banking segments were combined and renamed Regional Banking. Since
this segment is managed through six geographically defined regions where each
region's management has responsibility for both retail and corporate banking
business development, combining these two previous segments better reflects the
management accountability and decision making structure. In addition, changes
were made to the methodologies utilized for certain balance sheet and income
statement allocations performed by Huntington's business profitability reporting
system. The prior quarters have not been restated for these changes.



12





The chief decision-makers for Huntington rely on "operating earnings"
for review of performance and for critical decision making purposes. Operating
earnings exclude the Merchant Services restructuring gain, the gain from the
sale of the Florida operations, the historical Florida operating results, and
restructuring and special charges. See Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated
financial statements for further discussions regarding the restructuring of
Huntington's Merchant Services business, Note 6 related to restructuring and
special charges, and Note 7 for the gain on sale of Huntington's Florida
operations. Net interest income is presented on a fully tax equivalent (FTE)
basis using a 35% tax rate.

The following provides a brief description of the four operating segments of
Huntington:

REGIONAL BANKING: this segment provides products and services to
retail, business banking, and corporate customers. This segment's products
include home equity loans, first mortgage loans, direct installment loans,
business loans, personal and business deposit products, as well as sales of
investment and insurance services. These products and services are offered
through Huntington's traditional banking network; Direct Bank--Huntington's
customer service center; and Web Bank at www.huntington.com. Regional Banking
also represents middle-market and large corporate banking relationships which
use a variety of banking products and services including, but not limited to,
commercial loans, international trade, and cash management.

DEALER SALES: this segment's product offerings pertain to the
automobile lending sector and include indirect consumer loans and leases, as
well as floor plan financing. The consumer loans and leases comprise the vast
majority of the business and involve the financing of vehicles purchased or
leased by individuals through dealerships.

PRIVATE FINANCIAL GROUP: this segment's array of products and services
are designed to meet the needs of Huntington's higher wealth customers. Revenue
is derived through the sale of personal trust, asset management, investment
advisory, brokerage, insurance, and deposit and loan products and services.
Income and related expenses from the sale of brokerage and insurance products is
shared with the line of business that generated the sale or provided the
customer referral.

TREASURY / OTHER: this segment includes assets, liabilities, equity,
revenue, and expense that are not directly assigned or allocated to one of the
lines of business. Since a match-funded transfer pricing system is used to
allocate interest income and interest expense to other business segments,
Treasury / Other results include the net impact of any over or under allocations
arising from centralized management of interest rate risk including the net
impact of derivatives used to hedge interest rate sensitivity. Furthermore, this
segment's results include the net impact of administering Huntington's
investment securities portfolio as part of overall liquidity management.
Additionally, amortization expense of intangible assets and gains or losses not
allocated to other business segments are also a component.

Listed below is certain reported financial information reconciled to
Huntington's third quarter and nine-month 2002 and 2001 operating results by
line of business.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



INTRODUCTION

Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington) is a multi-state
financial holding company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Its subsidiaries
engage in full-service commercial and consumer banking, mortgage banking, lease
financing, trust services, discount brokerage services, underwriting credit life
and disability insurance, issuing commercial paper guaranteed by Huntington, and
selling other insurance and financial products and services. Its subsidiaries
operate domestically from offices located predominately in Ohio, Michigan, West
Virginia, Indiana, and Kentucky. Huntington has a foreign office in the Cayman
Islands and in Hong Kong.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This interim report, including Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking
statements about Huntington. These include descriptions of products or services,
plans, or objectives of management for future operations, and forecasts of
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 Huntington's 2001 Annual Report and other factors described from time to
time in 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.

Management encourages readers of this interim report on Form 10-Q to
understand forward-looking statements to be strategic objectives rather than
absolute forecasts of future performance. Forward-looking statements speak only
as of the date they are made. Huntington does not 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.

The following discussion and analysis, the purpose of which is to
provide investors and others with information that management believes to be
necessary for an understanding of Huntington's financial condition, changes in
financial condition, and results of operations should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements, notes, and other information contained in this
document.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in
Huntington's 2001 Annual Report lists significant accounting policies used in
the development and presentation of its 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 that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of
the organization, its financial position, and results of operations.

SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITIES (SPES)
Huntington utilized two securitization trusts, or SPEs, in 2000 as
funding sources. These two trusts had total assets of $1.1 billion at September
30, 2002. In the securitization transactions, indirect auto loans that
Huntington originated were sold to these trusts in exchange for funding
collateralized by these loans. Under accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States (GAAP), these trusts are not consolidated in Huntington's
financial statements. As such, the loans and the funding obtained are not
included on Huntington's balance sheets.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Exposure
Draft of a proposed Interpretation to ARB No. 51 that establishes accounting
guidance for consolidation of SPEs. The proposed Interpretation, Consolidation
of Certain Special-Purpose Entities, will apply to any business enterprise--both
public and private companies--that has an ownership interest, contractual
relationship, or other business relationship with an SPE. The comment period on
this Exposure Draft concluded August 30, 2002. The objective of this proposed
Interpretation is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with
SPEs--not to restrict the use of SPEs. Current accounting standards require an
enterprise to include subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial
interest in its consolidated financial statements. The FASB expects to issue a
final Interpretation in the fourth quarter of this year. The accounting guidance
would be effective immediately upon issuance of the Interpretation for new SPEs.
Companies such as Huntington with SPEs that existed before the issuance of the
Interpretation would be required to apply the guidance to the existing SPEs at
the beginning of the first fiscal period after March 15, 2003. Because
Huntington is a calendar year-end company, it would





16


need to apply the guidance beginning on April 1, 2003. The Exposure Draft, as
written, could result in the consolidation of the securitization trust assets
and liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows in Huntington's financial
statements.

DERIVATIVES AND OTHER OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Huntington uses a variety of derivatives, principally interest rate
swaps, in its asset and liability management activities to protect against the
risk of adverse interest rate movements on either cash flows or market value of
certain assets and liabilities.

Like other financial organizations, Huntington uses various commitments
in the ordinary course of business that, under GAAP, are not recorded in the
financial statements. Specifically, Huntington makes various commitments to
extend credit to customers and to sell loans, and have obligations under
operating-type noncancelable leases for its facilities. This, along with other
information regarding derivatives, is discussed under the "Interest Rate Risk
Management" section of this report and in the notes to the unaudited
consolidated financial statements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Various directors and executive officers of Huntington are customers of
its bank subsidiary, The Huntington National Bank (the Bank), and other
subsidiaries, which have conducted transactions with Huntington's directors and
executive officers in the ordinary course of business. Huntington's directors
and executive officers may also be affiliated with entities that are customers
of the Bank and Huntington's other subsidiaries. All transactions with the
affiliates of Huntington's directors and executive officers are conducted in the
ordinary course of business. A summary of the indebtedness of management can be
found in Note 4 to Huntington's 2001 Annual Report. All other related party
transactions, including those reported in Huntington's 2002 Proxy Statement and
transactions subsequent to December 31, 2001, were considered immaterial to its
financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

STRATEGIC REFOCUSING AND OTHER RESTRUCTURING
In July 2001, Huntington announced a strategic refocusing plan (the
Plan). Key components of the Plan included the intent to sell the Florida
banking and insurance operations, the consolidation of numerous non-Florida
branch offices, as well as credit-related and other actions to strengthen its
balance sheet and financial performance including the use of some of the excess
capital to repurchase outstanding common shares. These initiatives were designed
to attain more positive revenue and earnings for shareholders and to improve
capital efficiency.

The sale of the Florida banking operations to SunTrust Banks, Inc.,
closed February 15, 2002, and included 143 banking offices and 456 ATMs with
approximately $2.8 billion in loans and other tangible assets, and $4.8 billion
in deposits and other liabilities. The transaction slightly increased
Huntington's sensitivity to rising interest rates. In addition, the net interest
margin, tangible equity to assets, and efficiency ratios were favorably
impacted.

Huntington's Florida insurance operation, the Orlando-based J. Rolfe
Davis Insurance Agency, Inc. (JRD), was sold to members of its management team
on July 2, 2002. Huntington remains committed to growing the insurance business
in markets served by its retail and commercial banking operations. The JRD sale
will not materially affect Huntington's future financial results.

During the first quarter of 2002, $56.2 million of pre-tax
restructuring and special charges ($36.5 million after-tax, or $0.14 per share)
were recorded related to the Plan. Combined with amounts recorded in 2001, these
pre-tax charges totaled $233.1 million ($151.5 million after-tax, or $0.60 per
share). In the first quarter of 2002, a pre-tax gain of $175.3 million ($56.7
million after-tax, or $0.23 per share) on the sale of the Florida operations was
recorded. Further information regarding the financial impact of the Plan can be
found in Notes 6 and 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

On February 19, 2002, Huntington announced a new share repurchase
program authorizing the repurchase of up to 22 million shares. Repurchased
shares will be reserved for reissue in connection with Huntington's dividend
reinvestment and employee benefit plans, as well as for acquisitions and other
corporate purposes. Through the end of September 2002, 15 million shares of
common stock had been repurchased under this program, including 6.3 million
shares in the third quarter, through open market and privately negotiated
transactions.

In August 2002, Huntington restructured its interest in Huntington
Merchant Services, L.L.C. (HMS), Huntington's merchant services business, in a
transaction with First Data Merchant Services Corporation (First Data), a
subsidiary of First Data Corporation. Under the agreement, Huntington extended
its long-term merchant services relationship with First Data. In addition, as
part of the transaction, First Data obtained all of Huntington's Florida-related
merchant business and increased its equity interest in HMS. This transaction
resulted in a $24.5 million pre-tax, non-operating





17


gain ($16.0 million after tax) in the third quarter of 2002. Huntington remains
a nominal equity owner and, going forward, this transaction is not expected to
have a material impact on Huntington's financial results.

SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Huntington reported third quarter 2002 net income of $98.1 million, or
$0.41 per common share. This compares with net income of $42.6 million, or $0.17
per common share, in the year-ago third quarter, and $82.2 million, or $0.33 per
common share, in the second quarter of 2002. Year-to-date net income in 2002 was
$278.1 million, or $1.13 per common share, compared with $112.9 million, or
$0.45 per common share, in the nine-month period a year ago.

Third quarter 2002 operating earnings (see Basis of Discussion -
Operating Earnings below) were $82.2 million, or $0.34 per common share, which
excludes the $24.5 million pre-tax ($16.0 million after tax) gain on the
restructuring of Huntington's ownership interest in HMS as mentioned above.
These results were up 1% and 3%, respectively, from second quarter 2002
operating earnings of $81.7 million, or $0.33 per common share, and up 2% and
6%, respectively, compared with operating earnings of $80.9 million, or $0.32
per common share, in the third quarter a year ago. Prior period operating
earnings exclude restructuring and special charges and the impact of the sale of
the Florida banking operations and other non-operating items. Operating earnings
for the first nine months of 2002 were $243.4 million, or $0.99 per common
share, up 7% and 9%, respectively, from the comparable prior-year period
operating earnings of $228.0 million, or $0.91 per common share.

The primary contributing factors to the $1.3 million, or 2%, increase
in operating net income from the year-ago third quarter were higher net interest
income and non-interest income, the benefit of which was partially offset by
higher provision for loan losses and non-interest expense. Net interest income
increased $19.0 million, or 8%, resulting from a 6% increase in average earnings
assets and a 2%, or 9 basis point, increase in the net interest margin to 4.26%
from 4.17%. Non-interest income, excluding securities gains, increased $3.7
million, or 3%, reflecting increases in service charges on deposit accounts,
other service charges and fees, and other income, offset by impairment on
mortgage servicing rights of $6.6 million. The provision for loan losses
increased $14.2 million, or 31% from the year-ago quarter. This increase was due
to $7.6 million in higher net charge-offs supplemented by additional provision
expense related primarily to the growth in loans. Non-interest expense increased
$6.7 million, or 4%, primarily due to higher personnel costs. Income tax expense
increased 2% reflecting the current quarter's higher level of net income.

Return on average equity (ROE) for the third quarter of 2002 was 14.3%,
up from 13.5% in the year-ago quarter. Reflecting the growth in assets, the
return on average total assets (ROA) declined slightly to 1.26% from 1.30%.
Huntington's efficiency ratio (which measures the dollars spent for dollars of
revenue generated) improved to 53.1% from 54.0%.

BASIS OF DISCUSSION - OPERATING EARNINGS
Reported results since the second quarter of 2001 have been
significantly impacted by a number of non-operating items, primarily related to
the strategic restructuring announced in July 2001 and the subsequent sale of
the Florida banking operations in the first quarter of 2002. Therefore, to
better understand comparable underlying trends and for decision-making purposes,
management reviews and analyzes financial results on an operating basis, which
leads to a better understanding of underlying trends absent the impact of
revenue and costs of such non-operating items. As such, the Results of
Operations discussion that follows is presented on an operating basis unless
otherwise indicated. In addition to excluding the third quarter 2002 gain from
the restructuring of Huntington's ownership interest in HMS, operating earnings
in prior periods exclude the impact of restructuring and special charges, the
gain from the sale of Florida banking operations and its related run-rate impact
from prior periods, the related run-rate impact from the sale of Florida
insurance operations, and other non-operating items.

The table on the following page entitled Reconciliation of Reported
Earnings to Operating Earnings reconciles reported results with operating
results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 and 2001. The table
on page 20 entitled Selected Quarterly Income Statement Data, excluding Florida
Operations shows operating results beginning with the first quarter of 2001
through the current quarter. The Reconciliation of Reported Earnings to
Operating Earnings table reflects total pre-tax restructuring and special
charges for 2002 of $56.2 million. This presentation differs from the table
presented in Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements because
the table in Note 7 reflects only the pre-tax restructuring and special charges
for 2002 related to the Florida operations of $32.7 million. Because the table
in Note 7 was intended only to show the pro forma impact without the Florida
operations, non-Florida related restructuring and special charges of $23.5
million remain included in the "Huntington Pro Forma Without Florida Operations"
column of that table.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Results of Operations discussion that follows is on an operating
basis, except as otherwise stated. This is the same basis which management
reviews and analyzes results to better understand underlying trends absent
non-recurring revenue and cost items. (See Basis of Discussion - Operating
Earnings above for an expanded discussion of operating results and
reconciliation to reported results.)

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income was $249.4 million in the third quarter of 2002, up
$19.0 million, or 8%, from the year-ago quarter reflecting growth in average
earning assets, primarily loans, and the benefit of a higher net interest
margin. Earning assets were $1.2 billion, or 6%, higher than in the same quarter
a year ago. Average loans increased 7% after normalizing for residential real
estate loan securitizations and the impact of Florida banking operations sold in
the first quarter of 2002. Also contributing to the growth in net interest
income was a 2%, or a 9 basis point, increase in the net interest margin to
4.26% from 4.17%. The increase in the net interest margin resulted from a
substantial reduction in short-term interest rates that lowered Huntington's
cost of funds in addition to the maturity in late 2001 of certain interest rate
swaps that had negative spreads. Average core deposits were up 12% from the
year-ago quarter, reflecting a 43% increase in money market and other
interest-bearing deposits and a 4% increase in demand deposits. Growth in core
deposits has been influenced, in part, by turbulence in the financial markets,
but also by the success of deposit growth programs. (See page 22 for the net
interest margin detail and average balance sheets.)

Net interest income for the 2002 third quarter increased $7.6 million,
or 3%, from the immediately preceding quarter. This resulted from a $797
million, or 4%, increase in average earning assets from growth in both loans and
securities, offset by a 4 basis point decrease in the net interest margin to
4.26% from 4.30%. This decrease was driven by a flattening of the yield curve,
lower yields on higher quality auto loan and leases originations, a growing
residential mortgage portfolio with inherently lower spreads, prepayments of
higher yielding mortgage loans, and the increasingly limited ability to lower
deposit rates from already low historical absolute levels.

Average loans for the recent three months increased 12% on an
annualized basis from the second quarter of 2002. This growth rate is normalized
for acquisitions, loan sales, and loan securitizations. During the third quarter
of 2002, Huntington securitized $91 million of residential mortgage loans and
retained these securities in its secur
