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. At December 31, 2004, three related parties owned HPCI’s common stock: HPC Holdings-III, Inc. (HPCH-III), 67.37%; Huntington Preferred Capital II, Inc. (HPCII), 32.5%; and Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington), 0.13%. Effective February 18, 2005, Holdings transferred 34% of its ownership in HPCH-III to Huntington Capital Financing LLC (HCF). Holdings and HCF are 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. On March 31, 2005, HPCH-III liquidated into Holdings and HCF. As a result of the liquidation, as of March 31, 2005, four related parties own HPCI’s common stock: HCF, 47%; HPCII, 32.5%; Holdings, 20.37%; and Huntington, 0.13%. 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). The following chart outlines the relationship among affiliates at March 31, 2005.

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 2004 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, HCF, and Holdings, 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 with The Huntington National Bank”, “Interest bearing deposits with The Huntington National Bank”, and end of month settlements.

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. In the normal course of business, HPCI does not purchase loan participation interests in loans that have exhibited a deterioration in credit quality since origination. Therefore, the impact of this new pronouncement was not material to HPCI’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47) – In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN 47, which clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. An entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 becomes effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. 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:

     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%, 96.6%, and 93.4%, of the portfolio at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004, and March 31, 2004, respectively.

Note 4 — Allowances for Credit Losses (ACL)

     An allowance for credit losses (ACL) is transferred to HPCI from the Bank on loans underlying the participations at the time the participations are acquired. The ACL is comprised of the allowance for loan participation losses (ALL) and the allowance for unfunded loan participation commitments (AULPC). The following tables reflect activity in the ACL for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

     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 the 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.

     Holders of Class C preferred securities 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 7.875% per annum, of the initial liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, payable quarterly. 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.

     The holder of Class D preferred securities, Holdings, 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 established at the beginning of each calendar quarter equal to three-month LIBOR published on the first day of each calendar quarter, plus 1.625% times par value, payable quarterly. 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.

     A summary of dividends declared by each class of preferred securities, which is considered a distribution of ordinary income, follows for the periods indicated:
