NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED 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. HPCI's
common stock is owned by three related parties, HPC Holdings-III, Inc.
(HPCH-III), a Nevada corporation; Huntington Preferred Capital II, Inc. (HPCII),
also a REIT and an Ohio corporation; and Huntington Bancshares Incorporated
(Huntington), a Maryland corporation headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. HPCI and
HPCII are subsidiaries of HPCH-III, which is a subsidiary of Huntington
Preferred Capital Holdings, Inc. (Holdings), an Indiana corporation. Holdings is
a subsidiary of The Huntington National Bank (the Bank), a national banking
association organized under the laws of the United States and also 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 unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, consisting of normal and/or recurring accruals, which were, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods
presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(GAAP). As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements have been omitted. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
appearing in HPCI's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2002 Annual Report), which
include descriptions of significant accounting policies, should be read in
conjunction with these interim financial statements.

        In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management of
HPCI is required to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. An
accounting estimate requires assumptions about uncertain matters that could have
a material effect on the financial statements of HPCI if a different amount
within a range of estimates were used or if estimates changed from period to
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A material estimate
that is particularly susceptible to significant change relates to the
determination of the allowance for loan losses.

        Cash and cash equivalents used in the Statement of Cash Flows are
defined as the sum of "Cash and due from The Huntington National Bank" and
"Interest bearing deposits with The Huntington National Bank".

        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 91, Accounting
for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans
and Initial Direct Cost of Leases, addresses the timing of recognition of loan
and lease origination fees and certain expenses. The statement requires that
such fees and costs, if material, be deferred and amortized over the estimated
life of the asset. HPCI receives origination fees related to certain
participations it purchases. Prior to July 1, 2003, HPCI did not defer
origination fees and recognized the amounts in the period of origination. HPCI
began to defer origination fees prospectively for all loans purchased after June
30, 2003. For the third quarter, HPCI deferred $1.4 million in fees. The
decision to defer fees from purchased loans only impacts the timing, not the
total amount, of net revenue recognized over the life of the asset. If HPCI had
previously deferred these fees, the impacts on the prior period financial
statements presented in this document would have been immaterial. Additionally,
the decision to prospectively defer these fees will not materially impact HPCI's
future results of operations and will have no impact on its ability to pay
operating expenses and dividends.

        In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics for Both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes
standards for how an issuer such as Huntington classifies and measures certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It
requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is (a) in the form
of mandatorily redeemable shares; (b) that, at inception, embodies an obligation
to repurchase equity shares; and (c) that embodies an unconditional obligation
that the issuer must or may settle by issuing a variable number of equity
shares. This Statement was adopted as of July 1, 2003. The adoption of Statement
No. 150 did not have a material impact on HPCI.

        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 federal income taxes. HPCI's subsidiary,


                                       7
<PAGE>

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


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 consolidated financial statements.

        All of HPCI's common stock is owned by Huntington, HPCII, and HPCH-III
and, therefore, earnings per common share information is not presented.

NOTE 3 - LOAN PARTICIPATION INTERESTS

        Participation interests are categorized based on the collateral
underlying the loan. Loan participation interests were comprised of the
following:

</TABLE>

        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 and were made to borrowers in the four states of Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana, and Kentucky, which comprise 93.9% and 95.1% of the portfolio at
September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

PARTICIPATIONS IN NON-PERFORMING LOANS AND PAST DUE LOANS

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

NOTE 5 - DIVIDENDS

        Holders of Class A preferred securities, a majority of which are
currently held by HPCH-III and the remainder by current and past employees of
the Bank and Huntington, 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.

        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, currently 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.

payable represents dividends declared but unpaid on HPCI's Class A and B
preferred securities. In addition, dividends that were declared on the Class C
and D preferred securities for the third quarter of 2002 were not paid until
October 1, 2002, and thus were included in dividends payable as of September 30,
2002. Dividends payable is reflected as a component of dividends payable and
other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        HPCI is a party to an Amended and Restated Loan Subparticipation
Agreement with Holdings, a Loan Subparticipation Agreement with HPCH-III, and a
Loan Participation Agreement with the Bank. Under these agreements, HPCI holds a
100% participation interest and a subparticipation interest in Holdings' 99%
participation interest in loans originated by the Bank and its subsidiaries. The
participation and subparticipation interests were in commercial, commercial real
estate, residential real estate, and consumer loans that were either directly
underwritten by the Bank and its subsidiaries or acquired by the Bank. On May
12, 2003, the amendments to and new participation and subparticipation
agreements were approved by the Board of Directors to allow HPCI to acquire
interests in loans directly from the Bank. Prior to this date, participation
interests in loans were acquired from the Bank only through Holdings at the
Bank's carrying value, which is the principal amount outstanding plus accrued
interest, net of unearned income, if any, less an ALL. The amended and new
agreements also allow for HPCI to acquire up to a 100% participation interest in
such loans. HPCI expects to continue to purchase such interests, net of ALL, in
the future from the Bank or its affiliates.

        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. 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. At month end, the payments are transferred to
HPCI and, accordingly, HPCI does not reflect any receivables for payments from
the Bank in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Servicing fee
expense paid to the Bank totaled $2.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2003, and $1.6 million for the same period in 2002. In addition,
servicing fee expense paid to the Bank totaled $5.4 million and $5.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        Huntington 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 $92,000 and $40,000 respectively,
for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and
$190,000 and $121,000, respectively, for each of the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2003 and 2002.

        In February 2001, Huntington purchased 18,667 shares of the 14 million
outstanding common shares of HPCI from Holdings (after adjusting for the April
2001 18,666.67-for-1 stock split). Prior to February 2001, Holdings was the
owner of 100% of the outstanding common stock of HPCI. On July 1, 2002, Holdings
exchanged 4.55 million common shares of HPCI and certain other assets for two
classes of HPC II's preferred stock. On December 27, 2002, Holdings contributed
its ownership in HPCI's Class A and Class D preferred securities and its
remaining common stock to HPCH-III. The following table represents the current
ownership of HPCI's common and preferred securities:

</TABLE>

        As of September 30, 2003, 10.7% of the Class A preferred securities were
owned by current and past employees of Huntington and its subsidiaries in
addition to the 89.3% 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 September 30, 2003,
a total of 7,100 shares, or 0.355%, were beneficially owned by HPCI board
members and executive officers in the aggregate. All of the Class D preferred
securities owned by HPCH-III are being held for possible sale to the public in
the future. Dividends paid to the Class C and D shareholders in the third
quarter of 2003 were $984,000 and $2,393,000, respectively, and were paid on
September 30, 2003.

        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 under the
following circumstances where 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.

        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. During each of the quarters ended
September 30, 2003 and 2002, HPCLI received $1.5 million of rental income, and
during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, HPCLI received $4.7
million and $4.6 million, respectively. Rental income was reflected as a
component of non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income.

        HPCI has a non-interest bearing receivable from Holdings of $12.9
million at September 30, 2003, and $63.0 million at September 30, 2002. At
December 31, 2002, there were $7.4 million of non-interest bearing receivables
from Holdings. These balances represent unsettled cash transactions involving
its participation interests that occur in the ordinary course of business.

        The Bank is eligible to obtain advances from various federal and
government-sponsored agencies such as the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati.
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 7 for further information regarding the
pledging of HPCI's assets in association with the Bank's advances.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        The Bank is eligible to obtain advances from various federal and
government-sponsored agencies such as the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati
(FHLBC). 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 advances from the
FHLBC based upon the amount of FHLBC capital stock owned by the Bank. As of
September 30, 2003, the Bank's total borrowing capacity under this facility was
capped at $1.38 billion. As of this same date, the Bank had borrowings of $1.29
billion under this facility. In addition, the FHLBC issued a standby letter of
credit for the account of a customer of Huntington totaling $18.2 million which
was 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 FHLBC.
The agreement provides, among other things, 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 $1.0
billion, which limit may be changed in the future by the board of directors,
including a majority of HPCI's independent directors. As of September 30, 2003,
HPCI's pledged collateral was limited to HPCI's interest in 1-4 family
residential mortgages and second mortgage loans, totalling $668 million. The
agreement also provides that the Bank will pay HPCI a monthly fee based upon the
pledged collateral held by HPCI. For the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2003, the Bank paid a total of $212,000 and $519,000,
respectively, to HPCI, representing twelve basis points per year on the
collateral pledged, as compensation for making such assets available to the Bank
as collateral. For both the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2002, the Bank paid a total of $191,000 and $464,000, respectively, to HPCI.
HPCI began receiving these fees after the first quarter of last year.

NOTE 8 - 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), a Nevada corporation;
Huntington Preferred Capital II, Inc. (HPCII), also a REIT and an Ohio
corporation; and Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington), a Maryland
corporation headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. HPCI and HPCII are subsidiaries of
HPCH-III, which is a subsidiary of Huntington Preferred Capital Holdings, Inc.
(Holdings), an Indiana corporation. Holdings is a subsidiary of The Huntington
National Bank (the Bank), a national banking association organized under the
laws of the United States and also 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 an Amended and Restated Loan Subparticipation
Agreement with Holdings, a Loan Subparticipation Agreement with HPCH-III, and a
Loan Participation Agreement with the Bank. The Bank is required, through its
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. HPCI, however, has retained the right to elect
to foreclose on mortgaged properties and the Bank has agreed to follow any such
direction from HPCI in this regard. The Bank also 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

        Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations contains forward-looking statements about HPCI, including
descriptions of products or services, plans, or objectives of its management for
future operations, and forecasts of its 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 HPCI's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2002 Annual Report) and other
factors described from time to time in HPCI's 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.

        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
are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Note 1 to HPCI's consolidated financial statements included in its 2002
Annual Report lists critical accounting policies used in the development and
presentation of its financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the
critical 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 HPCI, its financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows.



                                       13

        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 91, Accounting
for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans
and Initial Direct Cost of Leases, addresses the timing of recognition of loan
and lease origination fees and certain expenses. The statement requires that
such fees and costs, if material, be deferred and amortized over the estimated
life of the asset. HPCI receives origination fees related to certain
participations it purchases. Prior to July 1, 2003, HPCI did not defer
origination fees and recognized the amounts in the period of origination. HPCI
began to defer origination fees prospectively for all loans purchased after June
30, 2003. For the third quarter, HPCI deferred $1.4 million in fees. The
decision to defer fees from purchased loans only impacts the timing, not the
total amount, of net revenue recognized over the life of the asset. If HPCI had
previously deferred these fees, the impacts on the prior period financial
statements presented in this document would have been immaterial. Additionally,
the decision to prospectively defer these fees will not materially impact HPCI's
future results of operations and will have no impact on its ability to pay
operating expenses and dividends.

USE OF ESTIMATES

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires HPCI's
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
of HPCI if a different amount within a range of estimates were used or if
estimates changed from period to period. Readers of this 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. A material estimate that is
particularly susceptible to significant change relates to the determination of
the allowance for loan losses.

OVERVIEW

        HPCI's income was primarily derived from its participation interests in
loans acquired directly or indirectly from the Bank. Income varies based on the
level of these assets and interest rates earned on these assets. The cash flows
from these assets are used to satisfy HPCI's preferred dividend obligations. The
preferred securities are considered equity and therefore, the dividends are not
reflected as interest expense.

        HPCI's net income before preferred dividends was $84.6 million and $85.2
million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002,
while net income available to common shareholders was $80.1 million and $79.4
million, respectively, for the same three month periods. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, HPCI's net income before preferred dividends
was $236.5 million and $241.5 million, respectively, while net income available
to common shareholders was $222.2 million and $223.4 million, respectively, for
the same nine month periods.

        HPCI had total assets and total equity of $5.7 billion at September 30,
2003, up slightly from $5.5 billion at December 31, 2002, but down from $6.2
billion at September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, assets, in the
amount of $5.3 billion and $5.2 billion, respectively, consisted of
participation interests in loans. Participation interests in specific underlying
loans were as follows:

        Participation interests in commercial loans at September 30, 2003
declined 54% from a year ago, while residential real estate loans increased 68%
over the same period. HPCI has not acquired additional participation interests
in commercial loans over the past several quarters, but did acquire
participation interests in $269.8 million of residential real estate loans in
June 2003. Participation interests in commercial real estate loans at September
30, 2003 increased 7% over levels at the end of the same period in 2002.
Participation interests in consumer loans

<PAGE>

decreased 11% for the same comparable periods as scheduled payment and
prepayment activity in this portfolio outpaced the investment in new
participation interests. Participation interests in consumer loans were
comprised largely of interests in home equity loans secured by first and second
mortgages.

        Interest-bearing and non-interest bearing cash balances on deposit with
the Bank were $499.6 million at September 30, 2003, down from $534.3 million at
December 31, 2002, and down from $1.0 billion at September 30, 2002. These
declines were due largely to the acquisition of participation interests.
Typically, cash was invested with the Bank in an interest bearing account. These
interest-bearing balances are invested overnight or in Eurodollar deposits with
the Bank for a term of not more than 30 days.

        At September 30, 2003, amounts due from Holdings and the Bank were $12.9
million, down from $63.0 million at September 30, 2002. These represent amounts
due from or due to Holdings and/or the Bank that arise in the ordinary course of
business for unsettled transactions involving participation interests, fees, and
other related costs.

        Dividends payable and other liabilities were $4.4 million at September
30, 2003, down from $9.9 million at September 30, 2002, but up from $0.7 million
at December 31, 2002. This decline since September 30, 2002 was due to the
timing of the payment of dividends paid on the Class C and D preferred
securities and reduced LIBOR rates. All preferred dividends declared in 2002
were paid by December 31, 2002.

        Shareholders' equity was $5.7 billion at September 30, 2003, down from
$6.2 billion at September 30, 2002, but up from $5.5 billion at December 31,
2002. The $0.5 billion decline since September 30, 2002 largely reflected the
impact of the return of capital on December 31, 2002 and the declaration and
payment of common and preferred dividends in the fourth quarter of 2002.

        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
September 30, 2003, HPCI had 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, 2002,
HPCI had 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 September 30, 2003, HPCI is 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.

INTEREST AND FEE INCOME

        HPCI's primary source of revenue was interest and fee income on its
participation interests in loans. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, HPCI did not
have any interest-bearing liabilities or related interest expense. HPCI's
capital structure and continued operating cash flows provide funding for the
acquisition of participation interests. Interest income was impacted by changes
in the level of interest rates and earning assets. The yield on earning assets
was the percentage of interest income to average earning assets. For the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, HPCI's average
balances, interest and fee income, and yields are presented below:

        For the three months ended September 30, 2003, interest and fee income
was $67.7 million, compared with $86.7 million for the same quarter in 2002. As
shown in Table 5, the decline in interest and fee income was largely due to the
lower interest rate environment, while average participation balances remained
relatively unchanged. Approximately three-quarters of the loan participation
portfolio was variable in nature with respect to interest rate. As shown in the
table above, the yield on HPCI's participation interests declined from 6.12% in
the third quarter a year ago to 4.86% for the recent three-month period.

        On a nine month basis, interest and fee income was $207.7 million for
2003, compared with $266.3 million for the same period in 2002. The yield on
HPCI's participation interests declined from 6.30% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 to 5.09% for the same period in 2003. As shown in Table 6,
the decline in interest and fee income was due to the lower interest rate
environment, with the remaining decrease due to declining average participation
balances.

        HPCI began prospectively applying deferral accounting related to
origination fees associated with purchased loan participations in the third
quarter of 2003. As discussed in note 2, the decision to defer these fees only
impacts the timing, not the total amount, of revenue recognized over the life of
the assets.

        The table below shows changes in interest and fee income for the three
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 due to volume and rate
for each category of earning assets. The change in interest and fees not solely
due to changes in volume or rates has been allocated in proportion to the
absolute dollar amounts of the change in volume and rate.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (ALL)

        The provision for loan losses is the charge to earnings necessary to
maintain the ALL at a level adequate to absorb management's estimate of inherent
losses in the loan portfolio. For the three month period ended September 30,
2003, credits of $18.9 million were recorded to the provision for loan losses,
while for the same period in 2002, there was no provision expense recorded.
There were credits of $33.9 million recorded to the provision for loan losses in
the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, while provision expense was
$19.8 million for the same period in 2002. The overall decline in provision
expense in 2003 from 2002 was indicative of the significantly lower level of
non-performing loans underlying HPCI's participation interests and lower losses
on loan participations.

        The ALL was $94.7 million at September 30, 2003, down from $140.4
million at December 31, 2002, and $167.0 million at September 30, 2002. This
represented 1.80%, 2.79%, and 3.22% of total loan participations at the end of
each respective period. The ALL decreased from September and December of last
year because of the factors described above related to provision expense. The
ALL covered 227% of the participations in non-



                                       18
<PAGE>

performing loans September 30, 2003, compared to 145% and 118% at December
31, 2002 and September 30, 2002, respectively. In management's judgment, the ALL
was adequate at September 30, 2003 to cover losses inherent in the loan
participation portfolio. Additional information regarding the ALL and asset
quality appears in the "Credit Quality" section. The following table shows the
activity in HPCI's ALL for the periods indicated:

        Total net charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, were
$8.1 million, or 0.61%, of average participation interests, down from the $9.9
million, or 0.75%, recorded in the same quarterly period in 2002. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2003, total net charge-offs were $46.7 million, or
1.23%, of average participation interests, down from $59.3 million, or 1.50%,
recorded in the same period in 2002. The nine months ended September 30, 2003
includes $12.2 million of interest receivables that were determined to be
uncollectible and charged off against the allowance for loan losses in the first
quarter of this year. These interest receivables related to loans that were
previously charged off.

        It is HPCI's policy to rely on the Bank's detailed analysis as of the
end of each period to estimate the required level of the ALL. HPCI, through
reliance on methods utilized by Huntington, allocates the ALL to each loan
participation category. For the commercial and commercial real estate loan
participations, expected loss factors are assigned by credit grade at the
individual underlying loan level at the time the loan was originated by the
Bank. On a periodic basis, management reevaluates these credit grades.
Huntington implemented a revised internal risk grading methodology for
commercial and commercial real estate credits in the first quarter of this year.
This new methodology incorporates a dual risk grading system that separately
measures the (a) probability of default and (b) loss in the event of default
to provide Huntington with more specificity in the risk assessment process. The
aggregation of these factors represents management's estimate of the inherent
loss. The portion of the allowance allocated to the more homogeneous underlying
consumer and residential real estate loan participations was determined by
developing expected loss ratios based on the risk characteristics of the various
portfolio segments and giving consideration to existing economic conditions and
trends.

        Expected loss ratios also incorporate factors such as trends in past due
and non-accrual amounts, recent underlying loan loss experience, current
economic conditions, risk characteristics, and concentrations of various
underlying loan categories. Actual loss ratios experienced in the future could
vary from those expected, as performance is a function of factors unique to each
customer as well as general economic conditions. Management believes that the
current reserve of 1.80% of the total participation interests at September 30,
2003, is appropriate given the composition of the loans underlying HPCI's
participation interests, which were predominantly commercial real estate,
commercial loans, and lower quality consumer loans. In the second quarter of
2003, HPCI changed its methodology of determining its ALL to eliminate any
unallocated ALL. While amounts are allocated to various portfolio segments, the
total ALL, excluding impairment reserves prescribed under provisions of SFAS No.
114, was available to absorb losses from any segment of the loan participation
portfolio. Management will continue to assess the level of the reserve on a
quarterly basis.

NON-INTEREST INCOME AND NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

        For both three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, non-interest
income was $1.7 million. For the nine month periods, non-interest income was
$5.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively. This income largely represents
rents received from the Bank related to land, buildings, and leasehold
improvements owned by HPCLI. In addition, 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 of Cincinnati (FHLBC). These fees totaled $212,000 and
$519,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003.
For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, these fees totaled
$191,000 and $464,000, respectively. HPCI began receiving these fees after the
second quarter last year. See Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial
statements for more information regarding use of HPCI's assets as collateral for
the Bank's advances from the FHLBC.

        Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2003, was
$3.7 million compared with $3.2 million for the same period last year. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, non-interest expense was $10.2
million and $10.0 million, respectively. The predominant components of HPCI's
non-interest expense were the fees paid to the Bank for servicing the loans
underlying the participation interests and depreciation and amortization on its
premises and equipment. Servicing fees amounted to $2.1 million and $1.6
million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, these servicing fees totaled $5.4
million versus $5.1 million a year ago. As of June 1, 2003, the service fee with
respect to the underlying commercial real estate and commercial loans was equal
to the outstanding principal balance of each loan multiplied by a fee of 0.125%
on an annual basis, 0.320% on underlying consumer loan balances, and 0.2997% on
underlying residential real estate loans. Prior to June 1, 2003, the servicing
fee was 0.125% annually 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. Depreciation on premises and
equipment was $1.4 million for both three months ended September 30, 2003 and
2002. For the nine month period, depreciation expense totaled $4.2 million for
2003 and $4.3 million for 2002. See Note 6 to the unaudited consolidated
financial statements for further information regarding these servicing fees paid
to the Bank as part of the related subparticipation agreements.

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 applicable provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, is not subject to federal income taxes.
HPCI's subsidiary, HPCLI, has elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary
and, therefore, a separate provision related to its income taxes was included in
the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Income taxes for
the recent three months were $24,000, up slightly from $22,000 a year ago. For
the first nine months of 2003, income taxes were $73,000 compared with a tax
benefit of $70,000 for the prior year period. The year-to-date tax benefit
recognized in 2002 was due to a loss in HPCI before income taxes of $200
thousand. The tax benefit was calculated at 35% of the loss before income taxes.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

        HPCI's income consists primarily of interest and fee income on
participation interests in commercial, consumer, residential real estate, and
commercial real estate loans. 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. The reduction in interest income may result from downward
adjustments of the indices upon which the interest rates on underlying variable
rate loans are based and from prepayments of underlying loans with fixed
interest rates as well as reinvestment in lower-earning assets. HPCI has no
interest bearing liabilities and, therefore, no offsetting reduction in interest
expense if market interest rates decline.

        Huntington conducts its interest rate risk management on a centralized
basis and does not manage HPCI's interest rate risk seperately. A key element
used in Huntington'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
September 30, 2003, and assuming no new loan participation volumes, interest
income for the next 12 month period would be expected to increase by 9.1% if
rates rose 200 basis points gradually and with a parallel shift of the yield
curve above the forward rates implied in the September 30, 2003 yield curve. The
model was not used to estimate the impact of a 200 basis point decline in rates
due to the overall low level of current rates, however, management believes
further declines in market rates would put downward pressure on net interest
income.

CREDIT QUALITY

        HPCI's exposure to credit risk is managed by personnel of the Bank
through its use of consistent underwriting standards that emphasize "in-market"
lending while avoiding highly leveraged transactions as well as excessive
industry and other concentrations. The Bank's credit administration function
employs risk management techniques to ensure that loans adhere to corporate
policy and problem loans are promptly identified. These procedures provide
executive management of the Bank and HPCI with the information necessary to
implement policy adjustments where necessary, and to take corrective actions on
a proactive basis. These procedures also include evaluating the adequacy of the
ALL, which includes an analysis of specific credits and the application of
relevant reserve factors that represent relative risk, based on portfolio
trends, current and historic loss experience, and prevailing economic
conditions, to specific portfolio segments. In the first quarter of 2003, the
Bank revised and implemented an internal risk grading system for commercial and
commercial real estate credits. The Bank migrated from a single grading, to a
dual risk grading system that separately measures the probability of default and
loss in event of default and provides the Bank with more specificity in the risk
assessment process.

        Concentration of credit risk generally arises with respect to
participation interests when a number of underlying loans have borrowers engaged
in similar business activities or in the same geographical region. Concentration
of credit risk indicates the relative sensitivity of performance to both
positive and negative developments affecting a particular industry. Borrowers
obligated in loans underlying HPCI's participation interests do not represent a
particular concentration of similar business activity. Underlying loans are,
however, primarily collateralized by commercial real estate. HPCI's balance
sheet exposure to geographic concentrations directly affects the credit risk of
the loans underlying the participation interests. The majority of the loans
underlying the participation interests are collateralized by real estate and
were made to borrowers in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Kentucky. At September
30, 2003, 93.9% of the underlying participation interests consisted of loans
located in these four states. Consequently, the portfolio may experience a
higher default rate in the event of adverse economic, political, or business
developments or natural hazards in these states to the extent such factors
effect the ability of borrowers to make payments of principal and interest on
the underlying loans.

        An underlying loan originated by the Bank, and thus the participation
interest acquired by HPCI, is considered impaired when, based on current
information and events, it is probable that it will be unable to collect the
scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in
determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the
probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.
Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls
generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance
of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into
consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower.
This includes the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's
prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the
principal and interest owed. Loan impairment was measured on a loan-by-loan
basis by comparing the recorded investment in the loan to the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the
loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan
was collateral dependent.

        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
at the end of the most recent five quarters:

</TABLE>


        The change in non-performing assets during the recent quarter included
participation interests in underlying loans transferred to nonaccrual status of
$9.2 million, offset by chargeoffs of $6.7 million, and payments received of
$11.0 million.

        Under the participation and subparticipation agreements, HPCI may direct
the Bank to 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 institute foreclosure proceedings at the
discretion of HPCI, 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.
Any participation interest in a loan is sold to the Bank at fair market value
where the security is either repossessed or goes into foreclosure proceedings.
The Bank then incurs all costs associated with repossession and foreclosure.

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.
In managing liquidity, management takes into account various legal limitations
placed on a REIT.

        HPCI's principal liquidity needs are to pay operating expenses and
dividends and acquire additional participation interests as the underlying loans
in its portfolio paydown or mature. Operating expenses and dividends are
expected to be funded through cash generated by operations, while 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 and new capital contributions. HPCI intends to pay
dividends on its preferred securities and common stock in amounts necessary to
continue to preserve its status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.

        At September 30, 2003 and 2002, HPCI maintained interest bearing and
non-interest bearing cash balances with the Bank totaling $499.6 million and
$1.0 billion, respectively. HPCI maintains and transacts all of its cash
activity with the Bank and invests available funds in Eurodollar deposits with
the Bank for a term of not more than 30 days.

        To the extent that the board of directors determines that additional
funding is required, management may raise such funds through additional capital
contributions, debt financings, or retention of cash flow, 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. Management
does not anticipate that additional funding will be required for at least the
next twelve months.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        Quantitative and qualitative disclosures for the current period are
found on pages 20-22 of this report, which includes changes in market risk
exposures from disclosures presented in HPCI's 2002 Annual Report.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        HPCI's management, with the participation of its President (chief
executive officer) and Vice President (chief financial officer), has evaluated
the effectiveness of HPCI's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end
of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, HPCI's President
and Vice President have concluded that, as of the end of such period, HPCI's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

        There have not been any changes in HPCI's internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
HPCI's internal control over financial reporting.
