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 are 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 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. 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 - New President, Treasurer and Board Members Named



On August 9, 2004, Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington) announced that Donald R. Kimble had been named chief
financial officer and controller for Huntington, and that Michael J. McMennamin and John D. Van Fleet had relinquished their positions of chief financial officer and controller, respectively. A further description of this matter is set forth in
Huntingtons press release filed with its Form 8-K, dated August 9, 2004, and in Huntingtons quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. In connection therewith, Mr. McMennamin has also relinquished his positions as
President and director for HPCI, and Mr. Van Fleet has also relinquished his positions as Vice President, Treasurer and director for HPCI.

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 96.4%, 94.8%, and 94.1%, of the portfolio at June 30, 2004, December 31, 2003, and June 30, 2003, respectively.

Effective March 31,
2004, HPCI reclassified $4.3 million of its ALL to a separate liability on the balance sheet titled allowance for 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. For the second quarter 2004, AULPC was reduced by $433 thousand due to lower unfunded loan participation commitment balances. Prior period financial statements have
not been revised due to immateriality.



Note 6 - 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.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)



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, HPCH-III, 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.

Note 7 - Related Party Transactions



HPCI is a party to a Second Amended and
Restated Loan Subparticipation Agreement with Holdings, an Amended and Restated Loan Subparticipation Agreement with HPCH-III, and an Amended and Restated Loan Participation Agreement with the Bank. The Bank is required, under the participation
and/or subparticipation agreements, to service HPCIs loan portfolio in a manner substantially the same as for similar work for transactions on its own behalf. The Bank collects and remits principal and interest payments, maintains perfected
collateral positions, and submits and pursues insurance claims. In addition, the Bank provides to HPCI accounting and reporting services as required. The Bank is required to pay all expenses related to the performance of its duties under the
participation and subparticipation agreements. All of these participation interests to date were acquired directly or indirectly from the Bank.



The Bank performs the servicing of the commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and consumer loans underlying the participations held
by HPCI in accordance with normal industry practice under the amended participation agreements and subparticipation agreements. As of June 1, 2003, the annual servicing fee the Bank charges was 0.125% of the outstanding principal balances of the
underlying commercial and commercial real estate loans, 0.320% of the outstanding principal balances of the underlying consumer loans, and 0.2997% of the outstanding principal balances of the underlying residential real estate loans. On an
annualized basis, it is expected that this change will increase non-interest expense by approximately $3.0 million. Prior to June 1, 2003, the servicing fee the Bank charged, on an annual basis, was 0.125% with respect to the underlying commercial
real estate, commercial, and consumer loan balances and 2.35% of the

interest income collected on residential real estate loans. In its capacity as servicer, the
Bank collects and holds the loan payments received on behalf of HPCI until the end of each month. Servicing costs paid to the Bank totaled $2.2 million and $1.8 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. For the
respective six-month periods, the cost was $4.3 million and $3.3 million. Pursuant to the existing participation and subparticipation agreements, the amount and terms of the loan-servicing fee between the Bank and HPCI are determined by mutual
agreement from time to time during the terms of the agreements. Effective July 1, 2004, the parties revised the current servicing fee of 0.320% on outstanding principal balances of underlying consumer loan balances to 0.750%, and on residential real
estate loans from 0.2997% of the outstanding principal balances to 0.2670%. In lieu of paying higher servicing fees to the Bank with respect to commercial and commercial real estate loans, HPCI waived its right to receive any origination fess
associated with participation interests in commercial and commercial real estate loans transferred on or after July 1, 2004, until such time as loan servicing fees are reviewed in 2005.



Huntingtons and the Banks personnel handle day-to-day operations of HPCI such as financial analysis and
reporting, accounting, tax reporting, and other administrative functions. On a monthly basis, HPCI reimburses the Bank and Huntington for the cost related to the time spent by employees for performing these functions. These personnel costs totaled
$263,000 and $58,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. For the respective six-month periods, the cost was $355,000 and $98,000.

As of June 30, 2004,
10.9% of the Class A preferred securities were owned by current and past employees of Huntington and its subsidiaries in addition to the 89.1% owned by HPCH-III. The Class A preferred securities are non-voting. All of the Class B preferred
securities are owned by HPC Holdings II, Inc., a non-bank subsidiary of Huntington and are non-voting. In 2001, the Class C preferred securities were obtained by Holdings, who sold the securities to the public. Various board members and executive
officers of HPCI have purchased a portion of the Class C preferred securities. At June 30, 2004, HPCI board members and executive officers beneficially owned a total of 9,623 shares, or 0.481%, in the aggregate. All of the Class D preferred
securities are owned by HPCH-III. In the event HPCI redeems its Class C or Class D preferred securities, holders of such securities will be entitled to receive $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares. The redemption amount
may be significantly lower than the then current market price of the Class C or Class D preferred securities. Dividends paid to the Class C and D shareholders in the second quarter of 2004 were approximately $1.0 million and $2.4 million,
respectively.



Both the Class C and D preferred securities are
entitled to one-tenth of one vote per share on all matters submitted to HPCI shareholders. The Class C and D preferred securities are exchangeable, without shareholder approval or any action of shareholders, for preferred securities of the Bank with
substantially equivalent terms as to dividends, liquidation preference, and redemption if the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) so directs only if the Bank becomes, or may in the near term become, undercapitalized or the Bank is placed
in conservatorship or receivership. The Class C and Class D preferred securities are redeemable at HPCIs option on or after December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2006, respectively, with prior consent of the OCC.



As related parties hold HPCIs common stock, there is no established
public trading market for the stock.

HPCIs premises and equipment were acquired from the Bank through
Holdings. Leasehold improvements were subsequently contributed to HPCLI for its common shares in the fourth quarter of 2001. HPCLI charges rent to the Bank for use of applicable facilities by the Bank. The amount of rental income received by HPCLI
during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectfully. The amount of rental income received by HPCLI for the six-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $3.3 million for both periods. Rental income is
reflected as a component of non-interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of income.



HPCI has a non-interest bearing receivable from affiliates of $1.3 million at June 30, 2004, $13.7 million at December 31, 2003, and $11.6 million at June
30, 2003.



The Bank is eligible to obtain collateralized
advances from various federal and government-sponsored agencies such as the Federal Home Loan Bank. From time to time, HPCI may be asked to act as guarantor of the Banks obligations under such advances and/or pledge all or a portion of its
assets in connection with those advances. See Note 8 for further information regarding the pledging of HPCIs assets in association with the Banks advances.



HPCI maintains and transacts all of its cash activity through a non-interest bearing demand deposit account with the Bank.
In addition, to the extent that it does not jeopardize qualification as a REIT, HPCI may invest available funds in Eurodollar deposits with the Bank for a term of not more than 30 days at market rates.



Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies



The Bank is eligible to obtain advances from various federal and
government-sponsored agencies such as the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). From time to time, HPCI may be asked to act as guarantor of the Banks obligations under such advances and/or pledge all or a portion of its assets in connection with
those advances. Any such guarantee and/or pledge would rank senior to HPCIs common and preferred securities upon liquidation. Accordingly, any federal or government-sponsored agencies that make advances to the Bank where HPCI has acted as
guarantor or has pledged all or a portion of its assets as collateral will have a liquidation preference over the holders of HPCIs securities. Any such guarantee and/or pledge in connection with the Banks advances from federal or
government-sponsored agencies falls within the definition of Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in HPCIs articles of incorporation) and, therefore, HPCI is not required to obtain the consent of the holders of its common or preferred securities
for any such guarantee and/or pledge.



The Bank is currently
eligible to obtain one or more collateralized advances from the FHLB based upon the amount of FHLB capital stock owned by the Bank. As of June 30, 2004, the Banks total borrowing capacity under this facility was capped at $1.4 billion. As of
this same date, the Bank had borrowings of $1.3 billion under this facility. In addition, the FHLB has separately issued a standby letter of credit for the account of a customer of Huntington totaling $18.2 million secured by loans which have been
participated to HPCI.



HPCI has entered into an agreement with
the Bank with respect to the pledge of HPCIs assets to collateralize the Banks borrowings from the FHLB. The agreement provides that the Bank will not place at risk HPCIs assets in excess of an aggregate amount or percentage of
such assets established from time to time by HPCIs board of directors, including a majority of HPCIs independent directors. HPCIs board has set this limit at $1 billion, which limit may be changed in the future by the board of
directors, including a majority of HPCIs independent directors. The agreement also provides that the Bank will pay HPCI a monthly fee based upon the pledged collateral held by HPCI. As of June 30, 2004, HPCIs pledged collateral was
limited to 1-4 family residential mortgages and second mortgage loans. As of that same date, HPCIs participation interests in 1-4 family residential mortgages and second mortgage loans pledged as collateral, totalled $615 million. The Bank
paid $0.4 million to HPCI in the first six-months of 2004, representing twelve basis points per year on the collateral pledged, as compensation for making such assets available to the Bank as collateral.



Under the terms of the participation and subparticipation agreements, HPCI is
obligated to make funds or credit available to the Bank, either directly, indirectly through Holdings, or indirectly through Holdings and HPCH III, so that the Bank may extend credit to any borrowers, or pay letters of credit issued for the account
of any borrowers, to the extent provided in the loan agreements underlying HPCIs participation interests. As of June 30, 2004, December 31, 2003, and June 30, 2003, unfunded loan commitments totaled $726.4 million, $923.7 million, and $848.1
million, respectively.



Note 9 - Segment Reporting



HPCIs operations consist of acquiring, holding, and
managing its participation interests. Accordingly, HPCI only operates in one segment. HPCI has no external customers and transacts all of its business with the Bank and its affiliates.

Item 2. Managementss Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



INTRODUCTION



Huntington Preferred Capital, Inc. (HPCI) is an Ohio corporation operating as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes.
HPCIs principal business objective is to acquire, hold, and manage mortgage assets and other authorized investments that will generate net income for distribution to its shareholders.



HPCI was organized under Ohio law in 1992 and designated as a real estate
investment trust (REIT) in 1998. HPCIs common stock is owned by three related parties: 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).



HPCI is a party to a Second Amended
and Restated Loan Subparticipation Agreement with Holdings, an Amended and Restated Loan Subparticipation Agreement with HPCH-III, and an Amended and Restated Loan Participation Agreement with the Bank. The Bank is required, under the participation
and/or subparticipation agreements, to service HPCIs loan portfolio in a manner substantially the same as for similar work for transactions on its own behalf. The Bank collects and remits principal and interest payments, maintains perfected
collateral positions, and submits and pursues insurance claims. In addition, the Bank provides to HPCI accounting and reporting services as required. The Bank is required to pay all expenses related to the performance of its duties under the
participation and subparticipation agreements. All of these participation interests to date were acquired directly or indirectly from the Bank.



Forward-looking Statements



This report, including managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contains forward-looking statements
about HPCI. These include descriptions of products or services, plans, or objectives of Management for future operations, and forecasts of revenues, earnings, cash flows, 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 could cause actual conditions, events, or results to differ significantly from those
described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, those set forth under the heading Business Risks included in Item 1 of HPCIs 2003 Form 10-K (Form 10-K) and other factors described in this
report and from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.



Management encourages readers of this report 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. HPCI assumes no obligation to 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.



Critical Accounting Policies



Note 1 to HPCIs consolidated financial statements included in Form
10-K lists critical accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements. These critical accounting policies, as well as this discussion and analysis 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 HPCI, its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.



Use of Significant Estimates



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires Management to
establish critical accounting policies and make accounting estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect amounts recorded and reported in its financial statements. An accounting estimate requires assumptions about uncertain matters that could
have a material effect on the financial statements if a

different amount within a range of estimates were used or if estimates changed from period to period. Readers of this
interim report should understand that estimates are made under facts and circumstances at a point in time and changes in those facts and circumstances could produce actual results that differ from when those estimates were made. HPCIs
Management has identified the most significant accounting estimates and their related application in its Form 10-K.



New President, Treasurer and Board Members Named



On August 9, 2004, Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington) announced that Donald R. Kimble had been named chief financial officer and controller
for Huntington, and that Michael J. McMennamin and John D. Van Fleet had relinquished their positions of chief financial officer and controller, respectively. A further description of this matter is set forth in Huntingtons press release filed
with its Form 8-K, dated August 9, 2004, and in Huntingtons quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. In connection therewith, Mr. McMennamin has also relinquished his positions as President and director for HPCI, and
Mr. Van Fleet has also relinquished his positions as Vice President, Treasurer and director for HPCI.



On August 12, 2004, Mr. Kimble was named President of HPCI by its Board of Directors and Thomas P. Reed, currently a Vice President and director for HPCI,
was also named Treasurer of HPCI. In addition, Mr. Kimble and Karen D. Roggenkamp, currently a Vice President for HPCI, were elected directors of HPCI to fill the vacancies in those positions.



Summary Discussion of Results



HPCIs income is primarily derived from its participation in loans
acquired from the Bank and Holdings. Income varies based on the level of these assets and their respective interest rates. The cash flows from these assets are used to satisfy HPCIs preferred dividend obligations. The preferred stock is
considered equity and, therefore, the dividends are not reflected as interest expense.



HPCIs net income was $71.3 million and $82.2 million, respectively, for the three-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, while net income available to common shareholders was $66.8 million and $77.4 million,
respectively, for the same three-month ended periods. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, HPCIs net income was $135.3 million and $151.9 million, respectively, while net income available to common shareholders was $126.2
million and $142.1 million, respectively.



HPCI had total
assets and total equity of $5.5 billion at June 30, 2004, a slight increase compared to the December 31, 2003 balance of $5.4 billion and down from $5.7 billion a year earlier. At June 30, 2004, December 31, 2003, and June 30, 2003, an aggregate of
$5.2 billion, $5.3 billion, and $5.2 billion respectively, consisted of participation interests in loans. Participation interests in specific underlying loans were as follows:

HPCIs
participation interests in commercial loans, which represented only 2.5% of total assets as of June 30, 2004, declined 5% from December 31, 2003 and 40% from June 30, 2003. The decrease from June 30, 2003 was due to continued portfolio run off and
asset sales in June 2004 and December 2003 of approximately $21.8 million. This decline was partially offset by a reclassification on February 1, 2004, of commercial real estate loan participation interests totaling $62.6 million to commercial loan
participation interests. This reclassification was made to better reflect the loan participation interests based on the collateral underlying the loan. Participation interests in commercial real estate loans at June 30, 2004, which represent 73.3%
of total assets at the end of the second quarter, decreased slightly over levels compared to the same period last year primarily due to run off, the reclassification, and decreased new loan purchases during the second quarter of 2004. Consumer loan
participation interests increased 35% and 16%, respectively, for the reported periods due to purchases of residential home equity loan participations. Residential real estate loan participation interests decreased by $122 million, or 32%, between
June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2004 due to portfolio run off.

Interest-bearing and cash balances on deposit with the Bank were $384.9 million, $124.1 million, and
$482.8 million at June 30, 2004, December 31, 2003, and June 30, 2003, respectively. HPCI reduced its purchases of participation interests in the second quarter, which contributed to a $260.8 million increase in interest-bearing and cash balances
during the first six-months of 2004. This increase is to be used for dividend distributions at the end of the year. Typically, cash is invested with the Bank in an interest bearing account. These interest-bearing balances are invested overnight or
may be invested in Eurodollar deposits with the Bank for a term of not more than 30 days at market rates.



At June 30, 2004, December 31, 2003, and June 30, 2003, amounts due from affiliates and the Bank were $1.3 million, $13.7 million, and $11.6 million,
respectively. The decline was related to a payment of rents due between the Bank and HPCLI during the second quarter of 2004. Total liabilities were $6.3 million at June 30, 2004, up from $3.3 million at June 30, 2003. This increase was primarily
due to the allowance for unfunded loan participation commitments and dividends payable at June 30, 2004.



Shareholders equity was $5.5 billion at June 30, 2004, slightly higher than the December 31, 2003 balance of $5.4 billion, but down from $5.7
billion at June 30, 2003. The $0.2 billion decline since June 30, 2003, reflected the return of capital on December 31, 2003, and payment of common and preferred dividends.



QUALIFICATION TESTS



Qualification as a REIT involves application of specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code relating to various asset tests. A REIT must satisfy six
asset tests quarterly: (1) 75% of the value of the REITs total assets must consist of real estate assets, cash and cash items, and government securities; (2) not more than 25% of the value of the REITs total assets may consist of
securities, other than those includible under the 75% test; (3) not more than 5% of the value of its total assets may consist of securities of any one issuer, other than those securities includible under the 75% test or securities of taxable REIT
subsidiaries; (4) not more than 10% of the outstanding voting power of any one issuer may be held, other than those securities includible under the 75% test or securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries; (5) not more than 10% of the total value of the
outstanding securities of any one issuer may be held, other than those securities includible under the 75% test or securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries; and (6) a REIT cannot own securities in one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries which comprise
more than 20% of its total assets. At June 30, 2004, HPCI met all of the quarterly asset tests.



Also, a REIT must annually satisfy two gross income tests: (1) 75% of its gross income must be from qualifying income closely connected with real estate
activities; and (2) 95% of its gross income must be derived from sources qualifying for the 75% test plus dividends, interest and gains from the sale of securities. In addition, a REIT must distribute 90% of the REITs taxable income for the
taxable year, excluding any net capital gains, to maintain its non-taxable status for federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2003, HPCI met all annual income and distribution tests.



HPCI operates in a manner that will not cause it to be deemed an investment
company under the Investment Company Act. The Investment Company Act exempts from registration as an investment company an entity that is primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on and
interests in real estate (Qualifying Interests). Under positions taken by the SEC staff in no-action letters, in order to qualify for this exemption, HPCI must invest at least 55% of its assets in Qualifying Interests and an additional 25% of
its assets in real estate-related assets, although this percentage may be reduced to the extent that more than 55% of its assets are invested in Qualifying Interests. The assets in which HPCI may invest under the Internal Revenue Code therefore may
be further limited by the provisions of the Investment Company Act and positions taken by the SEC staff. At June 30, 2004, HPCI was exempt from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act and intends to operate its
business in a manner that will maintain this exemption.



RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS



Net income for the second quarter 2004 was
$71.3 million, down from $82.2 million for the second quarter 2003. Net income applicable to common shares was $66.8 million for the second quarter of 2004 and $77.4 million for the second quarter of 2003, after dividend declarations and payments on
preferred stock of $4.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Reduced interest rates and lower earning assets adversely impacted the performance of HPCI in the recent quarter.

Interest and Fee Income



HPCIs primary source of revenue is interest and fee income on its
participation interests in loans. At June 30, 2004 and 2003, HPCI did not have any interest-bearing liabilities or related interest expense. Interest income is impacted by changes in the level of interest rates and earning assets. The yield on
earning assets is the percentage of interest income to average earning assets.

|(1) | Income includes interest and fees.
|--- | ----------------------------------



Interest and fee income was $63.9 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2004, compared with $68.9 million for the year ago quarter. As shown in
Table 3, the decline in interest and fee income was largely due to the lower interest rate environment. Approximately 75 % of the portfolio was comprised of variable interest rate loan participations. Although average participation balances
increased by $365.9 million, new loans were added with lower yields. As shown in the tables above, the yield on HPCIs participation interests declined from 5.31% to 4.73% for the the three-months ended June 30, 2004 compared to June 30, 2003.
For the six-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the yield declined from 5.48% to 4.76%, while average participation balances increased by $362.1 million. The tables above include interest received on participations in loans that are on a
non-accrual status in the individual portfolios.



Allowances for Loan
Losses (ALL) and Allowance for Unfunded Loan Participation Commitments (AULPC)



The ALL represents the estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Additions to the ALL and AULPC result primarily from an allocation of the purchase price of participations
acquired.



It is HPCIs policy to rely on the Banks
detailed analysis as of the end of each quarter to estimate the required level of the ALL and AULPC. The Banks methodology for establishing these reserves consists of three distinct reserve components. The first component represents
transaction reserves. This component is determined using expected historical loss performance. Specifically, the probability-of-default and the loss-in-event-of-default are assigned based on specific characteristics and structure of each loan or
loan portfolio. Factors are applied on an individual loan basis for commercial and commercial real estate loans and on a portfolio basis for consumer loans. The second component

##### Table of Contents

consists of specific reserves. These represent credit-by-credit decisions for commercial and commercial real estate loans
when it is determined that the related transaction reserve is insufficient to cover estimated embedded losses on the loan. The third reserve component is the economic reserve designed to take into account losses due to the volatility caused by
changes in the economic environment. Beginning in the first quarter of 2004, this reserve component is determined using a more quantitative methodology. Specifically, four economic indicators have been determined to be statistically significant
indicators of loss volatility. These are:



| |  | The Index of Leading Economic Indicators,
| | - | -----------------------------------------



| |  | The U.S. Profits Index,
| | - | -----------------------



| |  | The U.S. Unemployment Index, and
| | - | --------------------------------



| |  | The Current Consumer Confidence Index.
| | - | --------------------------------------



The change in methodology related to the economic reserve has two implications. It will likely result in a more precise and quantitative determination of
required reserves, and may well lead to more quarter-to-quarter volatility in reserve levels.



The entire ALL is allocated to individual loans. Management will continue to assess the adequacy of the ALL and AULPC reserve on a quarterly basis.



The levels of the ALL and AULPC are adjusted based on the results of the above-mentioned detailed quarterly analysis. This
adjustment may be either an increase (provision) or a reduction. Such adjustments for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 were reductions of the allowances of $9.3 million and $11.6 million, respectively. These reductions compared to
reductions of $15 million for both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003. The continued reduction of the allowances for credit losses was indicative of Managements judgement regarding the adequacy of those allowances particularly
in light of lower net loan losses in the current quarter and lower non-performing asset (NPA) balances at June 30, 2004.



The following table shows the activity in HPCIs ALL and AULPC for the last five quarters:

The ALL was $72.5 million at June 30, 2004, down from $84.5 million at December 31, 2003 and down from $110.1 million at June 30, 2003. This represented
1.40%, 1.59% and 2.11% of total loan participations at the end of each respective period. Effective March 31, 2004, HPCI reclassified $4.3 million of its ALL to a separate liability on the balance sheet titled allowance for 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. For the second quarter 2004, AULPC was reduced by $433
thousand due to lower unfunded loan participation commitment balances. Prior period financial statements have not been revised due to immateriality.

##### Table of Contents

The ALL plus the AULPC was 1.48% of total loan participations at the end of the second quarter 2004 and
covered 422% of non-performing assets. This is compared to 1.59% of total loan participations, which covered 379% of non-performing assets, at the end of December 31, 2003. In Managements judgment, both the ALL and the AULPC are adequate at
June 30, 2004, to cover credit losses inherent in the loan participation portfolio. Additional information regarding asset quality appears in the Credit Quality section of the 2003 Form 10-K.



Total net charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, were $2.1 million,
or 0.15% of average loan participation interests, down from $12.5 million, or 0.99%, recorded in the same quarterly period one year ago. For the six-months ended June 30, 2004, total net charge-offs were $5.7 million, or 0.21% of average
participation interests, down from $38.6 million, or 1.56%, recorded in the same period in 2003.



Non-Performing Assets



Non-performing assets (NPAs) consist of participation interests in underlying loans that are no longer accruing interest. Underlying commercial and commercial real estate loans are placed on non-accrual status and
stop accruing interest when collection of principal or interest is in doubt or generally when the underlying loan is 90 days past due. Underlying residential real estate loans are generally placed on non-accrual status within 180 days past due as to
principal and 210 days past due as to interest. When interest accruals are suspended, accrued interest income is reversed with current year accruals charged to earnings and prior year amounts generally charged off as a credit loss. Consumer loans
are not placed on non-accrual status; rather they are charged off in accordance with regulatory statutes governing the Bank, which is generally no more than 120 days. The following table shows non-performing assets for the assets at the end of the
most recent five quarters:

Total NPAs
declined to $18.1 million at June 30, 2004, from $50.2 million at June 30, 2003, representing 0.35% and 0.96% of total participation interests, respectively. In the second quarter of 2004, and the fourth quarter of 2003, the Banks credit
workout group identified economically attractive opportunities to sell $4.4 million and $47.7 million lower quality loans respectively, including non-performing assets (NPAs), which related to loan participation interests owned by HPCI. Previously
established reserves for these loans were sufficient to absorb the related charge-offs, including amounts associated with the NPAs.



Underlying loans past due ninety days or more but continuing to accrue interest decreased to $10.3 million at June 30, 2004, from $13.4 million at
December 31, 2003, and $13.5 million at June 30, 2003.



Under
the participation and subparticipation agreements, the Bank may, in accordance with HPCIs guidelines, dispose of any underlying loan that becomes classified, is placed in a non-performing status, or is renegotiated due to the financial
deterioration of the borrower. The Bank may, in accordance with HPCIs guidelines, institute foreclosure proceedings, exercise any power of sale contained in any mortgage or deed of trust, obtain a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise
acquire title to a property underlying a mortgage loan by operation of law or otherwise in accordance with

the terms of the participation and subparticipation agreement. Prior to completion of foreclosure or liquidation, the
participation is sold to the Bank at fair market value. The Bank then incurs all costs associated with repossession and foreclosure.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense



Non-interest income was $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2004 and $1.6 for the comparable quarter a year ago. For the
six-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, non-interest income was $3.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively. This income primarily represents rental income received from the Bank related to leasehold improvements owned by HPCLI. Rental income was
$3.3 million for both the first half 2003 and 2004. Also, non-interest income includes fees from the Bank for use of its assets as collateral for the Banks advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). These fees totaled $0.2 million and
$0.1 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2004, and 2003. For the six-month period, the fees totaled $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. See Note 8 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more
information regarding use of HPCIs assets as collateral for the Banks advances from the FHLB.



Non-interest expense for the three-months ended June 30, 2004, was $3.9 million compared with $3.2 million for the same period last year. For the
six-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, non-interest expense was $7.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The predominant components of HPCIs non-interest expense are the fees paid to the Bank for servicing the loans underlying the
participation interests and depreciation and amortization on its premises and equipment. Servicing costs amounted to $2.2 million for the first three-months of 2004, up from the $1.8 million recorded in the same period of 2003. The servicing costs
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 totaled $4.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The increases are due to higher service fee rates and increased average loan participations. As of June 1, 2003, the annual servicing rates
the Bank charged were:



| |  | 0.125% of the outstanding principal balances of the underlying commercial and commercial real estate loans,
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 0.320% of the outstanding principal balances of the underlying consumer loans, and
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 0.2997% of the outstanding principal balances of the underlying residential real estate loans.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Prior to June 1, 2003, the servicing rates the Bank charged were:



| |  | 0.125% of the outstanding principal balance of the underlying commercial real estate, commercial, and consumer loan balances and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 2.35% of the interest income collected on residential real estate loans.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



Pursuant to the existing participation and subparticipation agreements, the amount and terms of the loan-servicing fee between the Bank and HPCI are
determined by mutual agreement from time to time during the terms of the agreements. Effective July 1, 2004, the parties revised the current servicing fee of 0.320% on outstanding principal balances of underlying consumer loan balances to 0.750%,
and on residential real estate loans from 0.2997% of the outstanding principal balances to 0.2670%. On an annualized basis, it is expected that this change will increase non-interest expense by approximately $3.0 million. In lieu of paying higher
servicing fees to the Bank with respect to commercial and commercial real estate loans, HPCI waived its right to receive any origination fees associated with participation interests in commercial and commercial real estate loans transferred on or
after July 1, 2004, until such time as loan servicing fees are reviewed in 2005.



Provision for Income Taxes



HPCI
has 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 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. The provision for income taxes for the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2004 was $84,000 and $107,000 respectively. This is compared to $24,000 and $49,000 for the three and six-month periods of the prior year.

MARKET RISK



Interest rate risk is the primary market risk to which HPCI has exposure. If there is a decline in market interest rates, HPCI may experience a reduction
in interest income on its participation interests and a corresponding decrease in funds available to be distributed to shareholders. Assuming a gradual decline in market interest rates by 100 basis points, interest income would be expected to
decline by roughly 4.3%. The Bank conducts its interest rate risk management on a centralized basis and does not manage HPCIs interest rate risk separately.



A key element used in the Banks interest rate risk management is an income simulation model, which includes, among
other things, assumptions for loan prepayments on the existing portfolio and new loan volumes. Using that model for HPCI as of June 30, 2004, and assuming no new loan participation volumes, interest income for the next 12 month period would be
expected to increase by 8.6% based on a gradual 200 basis point increase in rates above the forward rates implied in the June 30, 2004, yield curve. As of June 30, 2004, approximately 75% of the loan participation portfolio has variable rates.



OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS



Under the terms of the participation and subparticipation agreements, HPCI
is obligated to make funds or credit available to the Bank, either directly, indirectly through Holdings, or indirectly through Holdings and HPC Holdings-III, Inc., so that the Bank may extend credit to any borrowers, or pay letters of credit issued
for the account of any borrowers, to the extent provided in the loan agreements underlying HPCIs participation interests. At June 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003, and June 30, 2003, unfunded commitments totaled $726.4 million, $923.7 million,
and $848.1 million, respectively. It is expected that cash flows generated by the existing portfolio will be sufficient to meet these obligations.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



The objective of HPCIs liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all of its financial commitments, pay its
dividends to retain its REIT status, satisfy obligations to make funds or credit available to the Bank, and to capitalize on opportunities for business expansion. In managing liquidity, Management takes into account various legal limitations placed
on a REIT.



HPCIs principal liquidity needs are to
acquire additional participation interests as the underlying loans in its portfolio paydown or mature and to pay operating expenses and dividends. Operating expenses and dividends are expected to be funded through cash generated by operations. The
acquisition of additional participation interests in loans is intended to be funded with the proceeds obtained from repayment of principal balances by individual borrowers, utilization of existing cash and cash equivalent funds, and if necessary,
new capital contributions. HPCI intends to pay dividends on its preferred stock and common stock in amounts necessary to continue to preserve its status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.



At June 30, 2004, December 31, 2003, and June 30, 2003, HPCI maintained
interest bearing and cash balances with the Bank totaling $384.9 million, $124.1 million, and $482.8 million, respectively. HPCI maintains and transacts all of its cash activity with the Bank and may invest available funds in Eurodollar deposits
with the Bank for a term of not more than 30 days at market rates.



To the extent that the board of directors determines that additional funding is required, Management may raise such funds through retention of cash flow, debt financings, additional equity offerings, or a combination of these methods.
However, any cash flow retention must be consistent with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code requiring the distribution by a REIT of at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, excluding capital gains, and must take into account taxes that
would be imposed on undistributed income. HPCI reduced its purchases of participation interests in the second quarter, which contributed to a $260.8 million increase in interest-bearing and cash balances during the first six-months of 2004. This
increase is to be used for dividend distributions at the end of the year.
