INTRODUCTION

Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (we or our) is a multi-state diversified financial holding company organized under Maryland law in 1966 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Through our subsidiaries, including our bank subsidiary, The Huntington National Bank (the Bank), organized in 1866, we provide full-service commercial and consumer banking services, mortgage banking services, automobile financing, equipment leasing, investment management, trust services, brokerage services, customized insurance service programs, and other financial products and services. Our banking offices are located in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Selected financial service activities are also conducted in other states including: Dealer Sales offices in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, and Texas; Private Financial and Capital Markets Group offices in Florida; and Mortgage Banking offices in Maryland and New Jersey. Huntington Insurance offers retail and commercial insurance agency services in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana. International banking services are available through the headquarters office in Columbus and a limited purpose office located in both the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) provides you with information we believe necessary for understanding our financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes, and other information contained in this report. This discussion and analysis provides updates to the MD&A appearing in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2007 Form 10-K), and should be read in conjunction with this discussion and analysis.

Our discussion is divided into key segments:

	•		Introduction - Provides overview comments on important matters including risk factors, acquisitions, and other items. These are essential for understanding our performance and prospects.

	•		Discussion of Results of Operations - Reviews financial performance from a consolidated company perspective. It also includes a “Significant Items Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons” section that summarizes key issues helpful for understanding performance trends, including our acquisition of Sky Financial Group, Inc. (Sky Financial) and our relationship with Franklin Credit Management Corporation (Franklin). Key consolidated balance sheet and income statement trends are also discussed in this section.

	•		Risk Management and Capital - Discusses credit, market, liquidity, and operational risks, including how these are managed, as well as performance trends. It also includes a discussion of liquidity policies, how we obtain funding, and related performance. In addition, there is a discussion of guarantees and/or commitments made for items such as standby letters of credit and commitments to sell loans, and a discussion that reviews the adequacy of capital, including regulatory capital requirements.

	•		Lines of Business Discussion - Provides an overview of financial performance for each of our major lines of business and provides additional discussion of trends underlying consolidated financial performance.

A reading of each section is important to understand fully the nature of our financial performance and prospects.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report, including MD&A, contains certain forward-looking statements, including certain plans, expectations, goals, and projections, and including statements about the benefits of our merger with Sky Financial, which are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. Statements that do not describe historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Actual results could differ materially from those contained or implied by such statements for a variety of factors including: (a) deterioration in the loan portfolio could be worse than expected due to a number of factors such as the underlying value of the collateral could prove less valuable than otherwise assumed and assumed cash flows may be worse

3

than expected; (b) merger revenue synergies may not be fully realized and/or within the expected timeframes; (c) changes in economic conditions; (d) movements in interest rates and spreads; (e) competitive pressures on product pricing and services; (f) success and timing of other business strategies; (g) the nature, extent, and timing of governmental actions and reforms; and (h) extended disruption of vital infrastructure. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in Huntington’s 2007 Form 10-K, and documents subsequently filed by Huntington with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at that time. We assume 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 except as required by federal securities laws. As forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, readers of this document are cautioned against placing undue reliance on such statements.

Risk Factors

We, like other financial companies, are subject to a number of risks that may adversely affect our financial condition or results of operation, many of which are outside of our direct control, though efforts are made to manage those risks while optimizing returns. Among the risks assumed are: (1) credit risk, which is the risk of loss due to loan and lease customers or other counter parties not being able to meet their financial obligations under agreed upon terms, (2)market risk, which is the risk of loss due to changes in the market value of assets and liabilities due to changes in market interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, and credit spreads, (3) liquidity risk, which is the risk of loss due to the possibility that funds may not be available to satisfy current or future commitments based on external macro market issues, investor perception of financial strength, and events unrelated to the company such as war, terrorism, or financial institution market specific issues, and (4) operational risk, which is the risk of loss due to human error, inadequate or failed internal systems and controls, violations of, or noncompliance with, laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards, and external influences such as market conditions, fraudulent activities, disasters, and security risks. Please refer to the “Risk Management and Capital” section for additional information regarding risk factors. Additionally, more information on risk is set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and subsequent filings with the SEC.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Significant Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to establish critical accounting policies and make accounting estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect amounts recorded and reported in our financial statements. Note 1 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K as supplemented by this report lists significant accounting policies we use in the development and presentation of our financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors necessary for an understanding and evaluation of our company, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

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 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. The most significant accounting estimates and their related application are discussed in our 2007 Form 10-K. The following discussion provides an update of our accounting estimates related to goodwill.

Huntington accounts for goodwill in accordance with FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The reporting units are tested for impairment annually as of October 1, to determine whether any goodwill impairment exists. Goodwill is also tested for impairment on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change between annual tests that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Impairment losses, if any, would be reflected in non-interest expense.

Huntington uses judgment in assessing goodwill for impairment. Estimates of fair value are based primarily on the market capitalization of Huntington, adjusted for a control premium. Also considered are projections of cash flows considering historical and anticipated future results, and general economic and market conditions. Changes in market

4

capitalization, certain judgments, and projections could result in a significantly different estimate of the fair value of the reporting units and could result in an impairment of goodwill.

As a result of the continued economic weakness across our Midwest markets, our stock price declined significantly during the first six-month period of 2008. Therefore, we performed an impairment test of our goodwill as of June 30, 2008. Based upon the results of the test, no impairment to goodwill was required.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments

Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements discusses new accounting policies adopted during 2008 and the expected impact of accounting policies recently issued but not yet required to be adopted. To the extent the adoption of new accounting standards materially affect financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity, the impacts are discussed in the applicable section of this MD&A and the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Acquisition of Sky Financial

The merger with Sky Financial was completed on July 1, 2007. At the time of acquisition, Sky Financial had assets of $16.8 billion, including $13.3 billion of loans, and total deposits of $12.9 billion. The impact of this acquisition has been included in our consolidated results since July 1, 2007. As a result of this acquisition, we have a significant loan relationship with Franklin. This relationship is discussed in greater detail in the “Significant Items” and “Commercial Credit” sections of this report.

Given the significant impact of the merger on reported results, we believe that an understanding of the impacts of the merger and certain post-merger restructuring activities is necessary to better understand the underlying performance trends. When comparing post-merger period results to premerger periods, we use the following terms when discussing financial performance:

	•		“Merger-related” refers to amounts and percentage changes representing the impact attributable to the merger.

	•		“Merger and restructuring costs” represent non-interest expenses primarily associated with merger integration activities, including severance expense for key executive personnel.

	•		“Non-merger-related” refers to performance not attributable to the merger, and includes “merger efficiencies”, which represent non-interest expense reductions realized as a result of the merger.

After completion of the merger, we combined Sky Financial’s operations with ours, and as such, we could no longer separately monitor the subsequent individual results of Sky Financial. As a result, the following methodologies were implemented to estimate the approximate effect of the Sky Financial merger used to determine “merger-related” impacts. Certain tables and comments contained within our discussion and analysis provide detail of changes to reported results to quantify the estimated impact of the Sky Financial merger using this methodology.

Balance Sheet Items

For average loans and leases, as well as average deposits, Sky Financial’s balances as of June 30, 2007, adjusted for purchase accounting adjustments, and transfers of loans to loans held-for-sale, were used in the comparison. To estimate the impact on 2008 average balances, it was assumed that the June 30, 2007 balances, as adjusted, remained constant over time.

Income Statement Items

Sky Financial’s actual results for the first six months of 2007, adjusted for the impact of unusual items and purchase accounting adjustments, were determined. This six-month adjusted amount was divided by two to estimate a quarterly impact. This methodology does not adjust for any market related changes, or seasonal factors in Sky Financial’s 2007 six-month results. Nor does it consider any revenue or expense synergies realized since the merger date. The one exception to this methodology of holding the estimated annual impact constant relates to the amortization of intangibles expense where the amount is known and is therefore used.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This section provides a review of financial performance from a consolidated perspective. It also includes a “Significant Items Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons” section that summarizes key issues important for a complete understanding of performance trends. Key consolidated balance sheet and income statement trends are discussed in this section. All earnings per share data are reported on a diluted basis. For additional insight on financial performance, please read this section in conjunction with the “Lines of Business” discussion.

Summary

We reported 2008 second quarter net income of $101.4 million or earnings per common share of $0.25. These results compared with net income of $127.1 million, or $0.35 per common share in the 2008 first quarter. Current quarter earnings per common share reflected a dilutive impact of $0.03 per common share, related to the convertible preferred stock issuance in April 2008. Comparisons with the prior quarter were also significantly impacted by a number of other factors that are discussed later in the “Significant Items Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons” section.

During the 2008 second quarter, the primary focus within our industry continued to be credit quality. The economy remained weak in our markets and continued to put stress on our borrowers. Our expectation is that the economy will remain under stress, and that no improvement will be seen until well into 2009. We do not anticipate that the economic environment will deteriorate materially, but neither do we expect any relief in the near term.

Given the current economic conditions discussed in the above paragraph, credit quality performance during the current quarter was consistent with our expectations. During the 2008 second quarter, the allowance for credit losses (ACL) increased 13 basis points to 1.80% compared with the prior quarter, and the net charge-off ratio increased 16 basis points to 0.64% compared with the prior quarter. We anticipate a 10-20 basis point increase in our ACL by year-end, and we have increased our expected full-year net charge-off ratio to 0.65%-0.70%. Nonaccrual loans (NALs) increased $157.7 million, or 42%. Our expectation is that NALs will continue to rise for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that the expected increases in NALs will be manageable, and will continue to be centered in our commercial real estate (CRE) loans to single-family homebuilders, and within our commercial and industrial (C&I) portfolio related to businesses that support residential development.

Capital also continued to be a major focus for us. We took several actions during the current quarter to strengthen our capital position and balance sheet, including: (a) the raising of $569 million of capital in the form of 8.50% Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, (b) the on-balance sheet securitization of $887 million in automobile loans, (c) the sale of $473 million of mortgage loans, and (d) managing down our balances of non-relationship collateralized public fund deposits and related collateral securities.

The loan restructuring associated with our relationship with Franklin, completed during the 2007 fourth quarter, continued to perform consistent with our expectations. Cash flows exceeded the required debt payments, the loans continued to perform with interest accruing, and there were no net charge-offs or related provision for credit losses during the quarter. Based on the performance during the first six-month period of 2008, and continued expected cash flow performance and priority of cash flows, we removed $762 million, or 67%, of our total Franklin exposure from nonperforming asset status during the current quarter. Additionally, the total exposure to Franklin decreased $27 million, or 2%, compared with the prior quarter.

Fully taxable net interest income in the 2008 second quarter increased $13.2 million, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter. Our net interest margin increased 6 basis points resulting primarily from improved pricing on our core deposits. Average total loans and leases increased, particularly in our commercial loan portfolio, as loans grew in 10 of our 13 regions.

Non-interest income in the 2008 second quarter increased $0.7 million compared with the prior quarter. Significant items (see “Significant Items”) resulted in a net positive impact of $11.6 million in the current quarter compared with the prior quarter. Considering the impact of these items, fee income performance was strong for the current quarter. Service charges on deposit accounts increased 10%, and other service charges increased 12%, both reflecting continued underlying growth in deposits as well as a return to more seasonally adjusted levels. Core mortgage banking activities increased 20%, reflecting higher loan sale volumes and improved gains on mortgage loan sales.

6

Non-interest expense in the 2008 second quarter increased $7.3 million, or 2%, compared with the prior quarter. Significant items (see “Significant Items”) resulted in a net negative impact of $12.6 million in the current quarter compared with the prior quarter. Considering the impact of these items, the remaining components of non-interest expense decreased, reflecting our continued focus on improving expense efficiencies.

⁽¹⁾		Comparisons for presented periods are impacted by a number of factors. Refer to the “Significant Items Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons” for additional discussion regarding these key factors.

⁽²⁾		On July 1, 2007, Huntington acquired Sky Financial Group, Inc. Accordingly, the balances presented include the impact of the acquisition from that date.

⁽³⁾		Automobile operating lease income and expense is included in “Other Income” and “Other Expense”, respectively.

⁽⁴⁾		For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the impact of convertible preferred stock issued in April of 2008 totaling 39.8 million shares was excluded from the diluted share calculation. It was excluded because the result would have been higher than basic earnings per common share (anti-dilutive) for the period.

⁽⁵⁾		Net income excluding expense for amortization of intangibles for the period divided by average tangible shareholders’ equity. Average tangible shareholders’ equity equals average total stockholders’ equity less average intangible assets and goodwill. Expense for amortization of intangibles and average intangible assets are net of deferred tax liability, and calculated assuming a 35% tax rate.

⁽⁶⁾		On a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis assuming a 35% tax rate.

⁽⁷⁾		Non-interest expense less amortization of intangibles divided by the sum of FTE net interest income and non-interest income excluding securities gains (losses).

Significant Items

Definition of Significant Items

Certain components of the income statement are naturally subject to more volatility than others. As a result, readers of this report may view such items differently in their assessment of “underlying” or “core” earnings performance compared with their expectations and/or any implications resulting from them on their assessment of future performance trends.

Therefore, we believe the disclosure of certain “Significant Items” affecting current and prior period results aids readers of this report in better understanding corporate performance so that they can ascertain for themselves what, if any, items they may wish to include or exclude from their analysis of performance, within the context of determining how that performance differed from their expectations, as well as how, if at all, to adjust their estimates of future performance accordingly.

To this end, we have adopted a practice of listing as “Significant Items” in our external disclosure documents, including earnings press releases, investor presentations, reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, individual and/or particularly volatile items that impact the current period results by $0.01 per share or more. Such “Significant Items” generally fall within the categories discussed below:

Timing Differences

Parts of our regular business activities are naturally volatile, including capital markets income and sales of loans. While such items may generally be expected to occur within a full-year reporting period, they may vary significantly from period to period. Such items are also typically a component of an income statement line item and not, therefore, readily discernable. By specifically disclosing such items, analysts/investors can better assess how, if at all, to adjust their estimates of future performance.

Other Items

From time to time, an event or transaction might significantly impact revenues or expenses in a particular reporting period that is judged to be one-time, short-term in nature, and/or materially outside typically expected performance. Examples would be (a) merger costs as they typically impact expenses for only a few quarters during the period of transition; e.g., restructuring charges, asset valuation adjustments, etc.; (b) changes in an accounting principle; (c) large tax assessments/refunds; (d) a large gain/loss on the sale of an asset; and (e) outsized commercial loan net charge-offs related to fraud; and similar events that could occur. In addition, for the periods covered by this report, the impact of the Franklin restructuring is deemed to be a significant item due to its unusually large size and because it was acquired in the Sky Financial merger and thus it is not representative of our typical underwriting criteria. By disclosing such items, readers of this report can better assess how, if at all, to adjust their estimates of future performance.

Provision for Credit Losses

While the provision for credit losses may vary significantly among periods, and often exceeds $0.01 per share, we typically exclude it from the list of “Significant Items” unless, in our view, there is a significant, specific credit (or multiple significant, specific credits) affecting comparability among periods. In determining whether any portion of the provision for credit losses should be included as a significant item, we consider, among other things, that the provision is a major income statement caption rather than a component of another caption and, therefore, the period-to-period variance can be readily determined. We also consider the additional historical volatility of the provision for credit losses.

Other Exclusions

“Significant Items” for any particular period are not intended to be a complete list of items that may significantly impact future periods. A number of factors, including those described in Huntington’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other factors described from time to time in Huntington’s other filings with the SEC, could also significantly impact future periods.

Significant Items Influencing Financial Performance Comparisons

Earnings comparisons from the beginning of 2007 through the 2008 second quarter were impacted by a number of significant items summarized below.

1.

Sky Financial Acquisition. The merger with Sky Financial was completed on July 1, 2007. The impacts of the quarterly reported results compared with premerger reporting periods are as follows:

	•		Increased the absolute level of reported average balance sheet, revenue, expense, and credit quality results (e.g., net charge-offs).

	•		Increased reported non-interest expense items as a result of costs incurred as part of merger integration and post-merger restructuring activities, most notably employee retention bonuses, outside programming services related to systems conversions, and marketing expenses related to customer retention initiatives. These net merger and restructuring costs were $14.6 million in the 2008 second quarter, $7.3 million in the 2008 first quarter, $44.4 million in the 2007 fourth quarter, $32.3 million in the 2007 third quarter, $7.6 million in the 2007 second quarter, and $0.8 million in the 2007 first quarter.

	2.		Franklin Relationship Restructuring. Performance for the 2007 fourth quarter included a $423.6 million ($0.75 per common share based upon the quarterly average outstanding diluted common shares) negative impact related to our Franklin relationship acquired in the Sky Financial acquisition. On December 28, 2007, the loans associated with Franklin were restructured, resulting in a $405.8 million provision for credit losses and a $17.9 million reduction of net interest income. The net interest income reduction reflected the placement of the Franklin loans on nonaccrual status from November 16, 2007, until December 28, 2007.

	3.		Visaâ Initial Public Offering (IPO). Performance for the 2008 first quarter included the positive impact of $37.5 million ($0.07 per common share) related to the Visa^® IPO occurring in March of 2008. This impact was comprised of two components: (a) $25.1 million gain, recorded in other non-interest income, resulting from the proceeds of the IPO, and (b) $12.4 million partial reversal of the 2007 fourth quarter accrual of $24.9 million ($0.04 per common share) for indemnification charges against Visa^®, recorded in other non-interest expense.

	4.		Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs) and Related Hedging. Included in total net market-related losses are net losses or gains from our MSRs and the related hedging. Additional information regarding MSRs is located under the “Market Risk” heading of the “Risk Management and Capital” section. Net income included the following net impact of MSR hedging activity (see Table 10):

2008	$	15,298	$	(35,403	)	$	(20,105	)	$	(13,068	)	$	(0.03	)

During the 2008 second quarter, we engaged an independent party to provide improved analytical tools and insight to enhance our strategies with the objective to decrease the volatility from MSR fair value changes. This change is reflected in the improvement in our net impact of MSR hedging during the current quarter.

5.

Other Net Market-Related Gains or Losses. Other net market-related gains or losses included gains and losses related to the following market-driven activities: gains and losses from public equity investing included in other non-interest income, net securities gains and losses, net gains and losses from the sale of loans, and the impact from the extinguishment of debt. Total net market-related losses also include the net impact of MSRs and related hedging (see item 4 above). Net income included the following impact from other net market-related losses:

Net Interest Income / Average Balance Sheet
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Items 1, 2, and 4.)

2008 Second Quarter versus 2007 Second Quarter

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $138.0 million, or 54%, compared with the year-ago quarter. This reflected the favorable impact of a $16.6 billion, or 52%, increase in average earning assets, with $14.6 billion representing an increase in average loans and leases, and a 3 basis point increase in the net interest margin to 3.29%. The increase in average earning assets, including loans and leases, was primarily Sky Financial merger-related. Table 4 details the $14.6 billion reported increase in average loans and leases.

⁽¹⁾		Calculated as non-merger related / (prior period + merger-related)

The $1.8 billion, or 5%, non-merger-related increase in average total loans and leases primarily reflected:

	•		$1.7 billion, or 8%, increase in average total commercial loans, with growth reflected in both C&I and CRE loans. The growth in CRE was primarily to existing borrowers with a focus on traditional income producing property types and was not related to the single family home builder segment.

	•		$0.1 billion, or 1%, increase in average total consumer loans. This reflected growth in automobile loans and leases and other consumer loans, partially offset by a decline in residential mortgages due to loan sales in the current and year-ago quarters. Average home equity loans were little changed.

Regarding average total deposits, most of the increase was merger-related. The $0.9 billion non-merger-related increase reflected:

•

$1.0 billion, or 17%, growth in other deposits, primarily other domestic deposits over $100,000, reflecting increases in commercial and public funds deposits.

14

Partially offset by:

•

$0.1 billion decrease in average total core deposits. This reflected a decline in non-interest bearing demand deposits, a planned reduction in non-relationship collateralized public fund deposits, as well as a decline in average savings and other domestic deposits and money market deposits, as customers continued to transfer funds from lower rate to higher rate accounts like certificates of deposits. Offsetting these declines was continued growth in core certificates of deposit, as well as in interest bearing demand deposits.

2008 Second Quarter versus 2008 First Quarter

Compared with the 2008 first quarter, fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $13.2 million, or 3%. This reflected the positive impact of a higher net interest margin and an increase in average earning assets, primarily loans. The net interest margin was 3.29% in the current quarter, up 6 basis points. The 6 basis point increase reflected:

	•		5 basis points positive impact primarily due to improved pricing of core deposits.

	•		2 basis points increase related to the funding provided by the convertible preferred capital issuance.

Partially offset by:

•

1 basis point decrease related to earning asset mix.

The $0.7 billion, or 2%, increase in average total loans and leases reflected 3% growth in average total commercial loans. The 2008 second quarter growth was comprised primarily of new or increased loan facilities to existing borrowers. This growth was not related to the single family home builder segment or funding interest coverage on existing construction loans. Average total consumer loans increased slightly, led by growth in automobile loans and leases and modest growth in home equity, partially offset by declines in residential mortgages and other consumer loans. During the current quarter, $473 million residential mortgage loans were sold to improve our interest rate risk position and overall balance sheet.

Average total deposits were $38.0 billion, up slightly compared with the prior quarter. There were changes between the various deposit account categories consisting of:

•

$0.2 billion, or 3%, increase in other deposits.

Partially offset by:

•

$0.1 billion decline in average total core deposits. The primary driver of the change was a planned reduction in non-relationship collateralized public fund deposits.

Tables 5 and 6 reflect quarterly average balance sheets and rates earned and paid on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

2008 First Six Months versus 2007 First Six Months

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income for the first six-month period of 2008 increased $260.7 million, or 50%, compared with the comparable year-ago period. This reflected the favorable impact of a $16.5 billion, or 52%, increase in average earning assets, with $14.4 billion representing an increase in average loans and leases, partially offset by a 5 basis point decrease in the net interest margin to 3.26%. The increase in average earning assets, including loans and leases, was primarily Sky Financial merger-related.

The following table details the estimated merger related impacts on our reported loans and deposits:

⁽¹⁾		Calculated as non-merger related / (prior period + merger-related)

The $1.6 billion, or 4%, non-merger-related increase in average total loans and leases primarily reflected an increase in average total commercial loans, with growth reflected in both C&I and CRE loans. The growth in CRE loans was primarily to existing borrowers with a focus on traditional income producing property types and was not related to the single family home builder segment.

Average total consumer loans were little changed. This reflected a decline in average residential mortgages due to loan sales in the first six-month period of 2007, partially offset by modest growth in total average automobile loans and leases. Average home equity loans were down slightly, reflecting the continued weakness in the housing sector and a softer economy.

Regarding average total deposits, most of the increase was merger-related. The $0.8 billion non-merger-related increase reflected:

•

$0.7 billion, or 11%, growth in other deposits, primarily other domestic deposits over $100,000, reflecting increases in commercial and public funds deposits.

18

•

$0.1 billion increase in average total core deposits. This reflected continued strong growth in core certificates of deposit and interest bearing demand deposits. Offsetting these increases were a decline in non-interest bearing demand deposits, a planned reduction in non-relationship collateralized public fund deposits, as well as a decline in average savings and other domestic deposits and money market deposits, as customers continued to transfer funds from lower rate to higher rate accounts like certificates of deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Items 1 and 2, and the Credit Risk section.)

The provision for credit losses is the expense necessary to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) and the allowance for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit (AULC) at levels adequate to absorb our estimate of probable inherent credit losses in the loan and lease portfolio and the portfolio of unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit.

The provision for credit losses in the 2008 second quarter was $120.8 million, up $60.7 million compared with the year-ago quarter, and up $32.2 million compared with the prior quarter. The reported 2008 second quarter provision for credit losses exceeded net charge-offs by $55.6 million. The provision for credit losses in the first six-month period of 2008 was $209.5 million, up $119.9 million compared with $89.5 million in the first six-month period of 2007. The reported provision for credit losses for the first six-month period of 2008 exceeded net charge-offs by $95.8 million. (See Credit Quality Discussion).

⁽¹⁾		Calculated as non-merger related / (prior period + merger-related)

The $11.5 million, or 5%, non-merger-related increase reflected:

	•		$6.9 million increase in securities gains, reflecting the current quarter’s gain compared with a loss in the year-ago quarter.

	•		$5.5 million, or 7%, increase in service charges on deposit accounts, primarily reflecting strong growth in personal service charge income.

	•		$2.5 million, or 12%, increase in other service charges, reflecting higher debit card volume.

Partially offset by:

•

$4.7 million, or 12%, decrease in other income. The current quarter included: (a) $7.2 million loss on the sale of certain held-for-sale loans and (b) $6.9 million of higher equity investment losses ($4.6 million loss in the current quarter vs. $2.3 million gain in the year-ago quarter). These decreases were partially offset by $7.8 million of higher automobile operating lease income ($9.4 million in the current quarter and $1.6 million in the year-ago quarter).

2008 Second Quarter versus 2008 First Quarter

Non-interest income increased $0.7 million compared with the 2008 first quarter, as shown in the following table:

N.M., not a meaningful value.

This $0.7 million increase reflected:

	•		$19.6 million increase in mortgage banking income. This reflected: (a) $3.5 million, or 20%, increase in core mortgage banking activities, primarily secondary marketing and servicing fees, (b) $2.1 million gain on the sale of mortgage loans, and (c) $14.0 million lower negative MSR valuation impact reflecting the current quarter’s $10.7 million net negative MSR valuation impact, compared with a $24.7 million net negative MSR valuation impact in the prior quarter. These negative MSR valuation impacts are partially offset by a net interest income benefit from the hedging assets.

	•		$7.0 million, or 10%, increase in service charges on deposit accounts, primarily reflecting a seasonal increase in personal service charges.

	•		$2.5 million, or 12%, increase in other service charges and fees, reflecting a seasonal increase in debit card fees.

Partially offset by:

•

$27.5 million, or 43%, decrease in other income. The first quarter included: (a) $25.1 million gain related to the Visa^® IPO and (b) $5.9 million venture capital loss. The second quarter included: (a) $7.2 million loss on the sale of certain loans held-for-sale, (b) $1.9 million decline in equity investment income ($4.6 million loss in the current quarter and $2.7 million loss in the prior quarter), (c) $3.3 million decline in derivatives income, and (d) $3.5 million increase in automobile operating lease income ($9.4 million in the current quarter and $5.8 in the prior quarter).

2008 First Six Months versus 2007 First Six Months

Non-interest income for the first six-month period of 2008 increased $170.8 million, or 57%, compared with the year-ago period, of which $137.4 million was merger related. The following table details the estimated merger related impact on our non-interest income.

⁽¹⁾Calculated as non-merger related / (prior period + merger-related)

The $33.4 million, or 8%, non-merger related increase primarily reflected:

	•		$9.3 million, or 6%, increase in service charges on deposit accounts, primarily reflecting strong growth in personal service charge income.

	•		$8.0 million increase in securities gains, reflecting the gain from the first six-month period of 2008 compared with a loss in the first six-month period of 2007.

	•		$27.5 million, or 38%, increase in other income. This increase included: (a) the 2008 first quarter gain of $25.1 million related to Visa^® IPO, (b) $13.0 million of increased derivative revenue, and (c) $10.7 million of increased operating lease income ($15.2 million in the first six-month period of 2008, and $4.5 million in the comparable year-ago period). These increases were partially offset by a venture capital loss of $5.9 million in the 2008 first quarter.

Partially offset by:

•

$23.5 million, or 81%, decrease in mortgage banking income. This decline primarily reflected the $35.4 million net negative MSR valuation impact in the 2008 first six-month period, compared with a $7.0 million net negative MSR valuation impact in the first six-month period of 2007. These negative MSR valuation impacts were partially offset by a net interest income benefit from the hedging assets.

⁽¹⁾		Calculated as non-merger related / (prior period + merger-related + merger-costs)

The $9.5 million, or 2%, non-merger-related decline reflected:

	•		$13.5 million, or 6%, decline in personnel expense, reflecting the benefit of merger efficiencies, including the impact of a reduction of 667, or 6%, full-time equivalent staff from December 31, 2007.

	•		$4.5 million, or 38%, decline in marketing expense.

	•		$4.3 million, or 14%, decline in net occupancy expense, reflecting merger efficiencies.

	•		$2.8 million, or 9%, decline in outside data processing and other services, reflecting merger efficiencies.

Partially offset by:

	•		$10.5 million, or 33%, increase in other expense. This increase primarily reflected a $6.3 million increase in automobile operating lease expense ($7.2 million in the current quarter, and $0.9 in the comparable year-ago period), and a $6.0 million increase in other real estate owned (OREO), that is real estate acquired through foreclosure, expenses.

27

Non-merger-related expenses were flat, and reflected:

	•		$14.5 million, or 51%, increase in other expense. The first quarter included a $12.4 million Visa^® indemnification reversal and a $2.6 million asset impairment expense. The second quarter included a $2.7 million increase in automobile operating lease expense ($7.2 million in the current quarter, and $4.5 million in the prior quarter) and a $2.7 million increase in OREO expenses, partially offset by a $2.2 million gain from debt extinguishment.

	•		$4.3 million, or 45%, increase in professional services reflecting increased collection costs.

Partially offset by:

	•		$9.7 million, or 5%, decrease in personnel costs, reflecting seasonally lower payroll taxes and lower full-time equivalent staff.

	•		$7.6 million, or 22%, decrease in net occupancy expense, reflecting higher seasonal expenses in the prior quarter, and the prior quarter’s $2.5 million impairment of leasehold improvements in our Cleveland main office.

2008 First Six Months versus 2007 First Six Months

Non-interest expense for the first six-month period of 2008 increased $261.6 million compared with the first six-month period of 2007. This included $271.4 million of merger-related expenses, as well as $13.4 million of higher merger/restructuring costs. The following table details the $261.6 million increase in reported non-interest expense:

Provision for Income Taxes
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Items 1, 3, and 6.)

The provision for income taxes in the 2008 second quarter was $26.3 million and represented an effective tax rate on income before taxes of 20.6%. The effective tax rates in the year-ago quarter and prior quarter were 23.2% and 17.2%, respectively. In the 2008 second quarter, a $3.4 million benefit to provision for income taxes, representing a reduction to the previously established capital loss carry-forward valuation allowance related to the value of Visa^® shares held, was recorded. The comparable tax benefit in the 2008 first quarter was $11.1 million. The effective tax rate for the second half of 2008 is expected to be in the range of 24%-26%.

In the ordinary course of business, we operate in various taxing jurisdictions and are subject to income and non-income taxes. Our effective tax rate is based, in part, on our interpretation of the relevant current tax laws. We believe the aggregate liabilities related to taxes are appropriately reflected in the consolidated financial statements. We review the appropriate tax treatment of all transactions taking into consideration statutory, judicial, and regulatory guidance in the context of our tax positions. In addition, we rely on various tax opinions, recent tax audits, and historical experience.

The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining our federal tax returns for the years ended 2004 and 2005. In addition, we are subject to ongoing tax examinations in various jurisdictions. We believe that the resolution of these examinations will not have a significant adverse impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL

Risk identification and monitoring are key elements in overall risk management. We believe our primary risk exposures are credit, market, liquidity, and operational risk. More information on risk is set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Additionally, the MD&A appearing in our 2007 Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with this discussion and analysis as this report provides only material updates to the 2007 Form 10-K. Our definition, philosophy, and approach to risk management are unchanged from the discussion presented in that document.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss due to loan and lease customers or other counter parties not being able to meet their financial obligations under agreed upon terms. The majority of our credit risk is associated with lending activities, as the acceptance and management of credit risk is central to profitable lending. Credit risk is mitigated through a combination of credit policies and processes and portfolio diversification.

Credit Exposure Mix
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Items 1 and 2.)

As shown in Table 18, at June 30, 2008, commercial loans totaled $23.4 billion, and represented 57% of our total credit exposure. This portfolio was diversified between C&I and CRE loans (see “Commercial Credit” discussion below).

Total consumer loans were $17.6 billion at June 30, 2008, and represented 43% of our total credit exposure. The consumer portfolio was diversified among home equity loans, residential mortgages, and automobile loans and leases (see “Consumer Credit” discussion below). Our home equity and residential mortgages portfolios represented $12.3 billion, or 30%, of our total loans and leases. These portfolios are discussed in greater detail below in the “Consumer Credit” section of this report.

Commercial Credit
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Items 1 and 2.)

Commercial credit approvals are based on, among other factors, the financial strength of the borrower, assessment of the borrower’s management capabilities, industry sector trends, type of exposure, transaction structure, and the general economic outlook.

In commercial lending, ongoing credit management is dependent on the type and nature of the loan. In general, quarterly monitoring is normal for all significant exposures. The internal risk ratings are revised and updated with each periodic monitoring event. There is also extensive macro portfolio management analysis on an ongoing basis. We continually review and adjust our risk rating criteria based on actual experience, which may result in further changes to such criteria, in future periods.

Our commercial loan portfolio is diversified by customer size, as well as throughout our geographic footprint. However, the following segments are noteworthy:

Franklin relationship
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Items 1 and 2.)

Franklin is a specialty consumer finance company primarily engaged in the servicing and resolution of performing, reperforming, and nonperforming residential mortgage loans. Franklin’s portfolio consists of loans secured by 1-4 family residential real estate that generally fall outside the underwriting standards of the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA or Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or Freddie Mac) and involve elevated credit risk as a result of the nature or absence of income documentation, limited credit histories, and higher levels of consumer debt or past credit difficulties. Franklin purchased these loan portfolios at a discount to the unpaid principal balance and originated loans with interest rates and fees calculated to provide a rate of return adjusted to reflect the elevated credit risk inherent in these types of loans. Franklin originated nonprime loans through its wholly owned subsidiary, Tribeca Lending Corp., and has generally held for investment the loans acquired and a significant portion of the loans originated.

Loans to Franklin are funded by a bank group, of which we are the lead bank and largest participant. The loans participated to other banks have no recourse to Huntington. The term debt exposure is secured by over 30,000 individual first- and second-priority lien residential mortgages. In addition, pursuant to an exclusive lockbox arrangement, we receive all payments made to Franklin on these individual mortgages.

At June 30, 2008, bank group loans totaled $1.512 billion, down $73 million compared with $1.585 billion at December 31, 2007 (see Table 19). This reduction reflected loan payments of $116 million, partially offset by an increase of $43 million as another institution entered into the restructuring agreement. The loans participated to other banks commensurately increased $43 million reflecting this institution’s participation in the restructuring during the 2008 first quarter. The monthly cash flow has been consistently above the required debt service, allowing for additional principal paydowns of $46.7 million of the total bank group debt during the first six-month period of 2008.

At June 30, 2008, our exposure to Franklin net of charge-offs was $1.130 billion, down $58 million, or 5%, compared with $1.188 billion exposure at December 31, 2007 (see Table 19). In the second half of 2008, we expect our proportion of payments received to increase to our pro-rata participation level, following satisfaction of certain terms of the restructuring agreement that provided for a more rapid amortization on a certain participant’s portion of the debt.

At June 30, 2008, our specific ALLL for Franklin loans was $115.3 million, unchanged compared with December 31, 2007, and there were no charge-offs or provision for credit losses in either the current quarter or the prior quarter. This relationship continued to perform with interest being accrued. The cash flow generated by the underlying collateral in the current quarter exceeded the required payments per terms of the restructuring agreement. As a result, we moved the $762 million Tranche A portion of our Franklin exposure out of the troubled debt restructuring nonperforming asset classification based on the performance during the first six-month period of 2008, and the continued expected cash flow performance and priority of cash flows.

The following table details our loan relationship with Franklin as of June 30, 2008, and changes from December 31, 2007:

Single Family Home Builders

At June 30, 2008, we had $1.6 billion of loans to single family home builders. Such loans represented 4% of total loans and leases. Of this portfolio, 69% were to finance projects currently under construction, 17% to finance land under development, and 14% to finance land held for development. The $1.6 billion represented a $0.1 billion decrease compared with the 2008 first quarter. We did not originate any new loans in this portfolio during the current quarter.

The housing market across our geographic footprint remains stressed, reflecting relatively lower sales activity, declining prices, and excess inventories of houses to be sold, particularly impacting borrowers in our eastern Michigan and northern Ohio regions. We anticipate the residential developer market will continue to be depressed, and anticipate continued pressure on the single family home builder segment in the coming months. We have taken the following steps to mitigate the risk arising from this exposure: (a) all loans within the portfolio have been reviewed continuously over the past 18 months and will continue to be closely monitored, (b) credit valuation adjustments have been made when appropriate based on the current condition of each relationship, and (c) reserves have been increased based on proactive risk identification and thorough borrower analysis.

Consumer Credit
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Item 1.)

Consumer credit approvals are based on, among other factors, the financial strength and payment history of the borrower, type of exposure, and the transaction structure.

33

Our consumer loan portfolio is primarily comprised of traditional residential mortgages, home equity loans and lines of credit and automobile loans and leases. The residential mortgage and home equity portfolios are diversified throughout our geographic footprint. Our automobile loan and lease portfolio is predominantly diversified throughout our banking footprint, with no out-of-footprint state representing more than 10% of our originations, except Florida, representing 13% of our automobile loan and lease originations during the first six-month period of 2008.

The general slowdown in the housing market has impacted the performance of our residential mortgage and home equity portfolios over the past year. While the degree of price depreciation varies across our markets, all regions throughout our footprint have been affected.

Given the market conditions in our markets as described above in the single family home builder section, the home equity and residential mortgage portfolios are particularly noteworthy, and are discussed below:

*		= The loan-to-value (LTV) ratios for home equity loans and home equity lines of credit are cumulative LTVs reflecting the balance of any senior loans.

Home Equity Portfolio

Our home equity portfolio (loans and lines of credit) consists of both first and second mortgage loans with underwriting criteria based on minimum FICO credit scores, debt-to-income ratios, and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios. Included in our home equity loan portfolio are $1.4 billion of loans where we have the first-mortgage lien on the property. We offer closed-end home equity loans with a fixed interest rate and level monthly payments and a variable-rate, interest-only home equity line of credit. The weighted average cumulative LTV ratio at origination of our home equity portfolio was 75% at June 30, 2008.

We believe we have granted credit conservatively within this portfolio. We do not originate home equity loans or lines of credit that allow negative amortization, or which have cumulative LTV ratios (including any first-mortgage loans) at origination greater than 100%. Home equity loans are generally fixed rate with periodic principal and interest payments. Home equity lines of credit generally have variable rates of interest and do not require payment of principal during the 10-year revolving period of the line.

We have addressed the risk profile of this portfolio. We stopped originating new production through brokers in 2007, a continuation of our strategy begun in early 2005 to reduce our exposure to the broker channel. Reducing our reliance on brokers also addresses the risk profile as this channel typically included a higher-risk borrower profile, as well as the risks associated with a third party sourcing arrangement. Production is focused within our banking footprint. Regarding origination policies, we continued to make appropriate adjustments based on our own assessment of an appropriate risk profile as well as industry actions. As an example, the significant changes made by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac resulted in the reduction of our maximum LTV on second-mortgage loans, even for customers with high FICO scores. While it is still too early to make any declarative statements regarding the impact of these actions, our more recent originations have shown consistent or lower levels of cumulative risk during the first twelve months of the loan or line of credit term compared with earlier originations.

Residential Mortgages

We focus on higher quality borrowers, and underwrite all applications centrally, or through the use of an automated underwriting system. We do not originate residential mortgage loans that (a) allow negative amortization, (b) have a LTV ratio at origination greater than 100%, or (c) are “payment option adjustable-rate mortgages.”

34

A majority of the loans in our loan portfolio have adjustable rates. Our adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) are primarily residential mortgages that have a fixed rate for the first 3 to 5 years and then adjust annually. These loans comprised approximately 60% of our total residential mortgage loan portfolio at June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2008, ARM loans that were expected to have rates reset, in 2008 and 2009 respectively, totaled $309 million and $708 million. Given the quality of our borrowers, and the decline in interest rates during the first six-month period of 2008, we believe that we have a relatively limited exposure to ARM reset risk. Nonetheless, we have taken actions to mitigate our risk exposure. We initiate borrower contact at least six months prior to the interest rate resetting, and have been successful in converting many ARMs to fixed-rate loans through this process. Additionally, where borrowers are experiencing payment difficulties, loans may be re-underwritten or restructured based on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan.

We had $0.5 billion of Alt-A mortgages in the residential mortgage loan portfolio at June 30, 2008. These loans have a higher risk profile than the rest of the portfolio as a result of origination policies including stated income, stated assets, and higher acceptable LTV ratios. Our exposure related to this product will decline in the future as we stopped originating these loans in 2007.

Interest-only loans comprised $0.7 billion, or 14%, of residential real estate loans at June 30, 2008. Interest-only loans are underwritten to specific standards including minimum FICO credit scores, stressed debt-to-income ratios, and extensive collateral evaluation. At June 30, 2008, borrowers for interest-only loans had an average current FICO score of 714 and the loans had an average LTV ratio of 81%. We continue to believe that we have mitigated the risk of such loans by matching this product with appropriate borrowers.

Credit Quality

We believe the most meaningful way to assess overall credit quality performance for the 2008 second quarter is through an analysis of credit quality performance ratios. This approach forms the basis of most of the discussion in the three sections immediately following: Nonaccruing Loans and Nonperforming Assets, Allowance for Credit Losses, and Net Charge-offs.

The ALLL increase reflected the impact of the continued economic weakness across our Midwest markets. These economic factors influenced the performance of net charge-offs (NCOs) and NALs. To maintain the adequacy of our reserves, there was a commensurate significant increase in the provision for credit losses (see Provision for Credit Losses discussion) in order to increase the absolute and relative levels of our ACL.

Nonaccruing Loans (NAL/NALs) and Nonperforming Assets (NPA/NPAs)
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Items 1 and 2.)

Nonperforming assets (NPAs) consist of (a) NALs, which represent loans and leases that are no longer accruing interest and/or have been renegotiated to below market rates based upon financial difficulties of the borrower, (b) troubled-debt restructured loans, (c) NALs held-for-sale, (d) OREO, and (e) other NPAs. C&I and CRE loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when collection of principal or interest is in doubt or when the loan is 90-days past due. 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.

35

(1)		Restructured loans represent loans to Franklin Credit Management Corporation (Franklin) that were restructured during the 2007 fourth quarter, and the subsequent removal of the Franklin Tranche A loans from nonperforming status during the 2008 second quarter.

(2)		Impaired loans held for sale represent impaired loans obtained from the Sky Financial acquisition that are intended to be sold. Impaired loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. The decline from March 31, 2008 to June 30, 2008 was primarily due to the sale of these loans.

(3)		Other NPAs represent certain investment securities backed by mortgage loans to borrowers with lower FICO scores.

(4)		Nonperforming assets divided by the sum of loans and leases, impaired loans held for sale, other real estate, and other NPAs.

Compared with the prior quarter, NALs increased $157.7 million, or 42%, primarily reflecting the overall weakness in our markets. The majority of the increase occurred in our C&I and CRE portfolios.

	•		C&I NALs increased $59.5 million, or 58%. The increase was spread across all regions, but was more concentrated in the central Ohio and southeastern Michigan areas. The increase was a result of number of small relationships, as only one loan exceeded $10 million.

	•		CRE NALs increased $78.7 million, or 43%. The increase included one $30 million relationship secured by a retail property, with the remainder of the increase spread across all regions and consisting of smaller dollar relationships.

36

The $684.7 million, or 41%, decrease in NPAs, which include NALs, from the end of the prior quarter reflected:

	•		$789.0 million, or 68%, reduction in restructured Franklin loans, primarily reflecting the removal of the Tranche A portion of the total Franklin loans based on the performance during the first six-month period of 2008, and the continued expected cash flow performance and priority of cash flows.

	•		$51.6 million, or 78%, reduction in impaired loans held-for-sale, primarily reflecting loan sales and payments.

	•		$1.5 million decline in OREO.

Partially offset by:

•

$157.7 million, or 42%, increase in NALs (discussed above).

Compared with December 31, 2007, NPAs, which include NALs, decreased $667.2 million, or 40%, reflecting:

	•		$819.0 million, or 69%, reduction in restructured Franklin loans, primarily reflecting the removal of the Tranche A portion of the total Franklin loans during the 2008 second quarter based on the performance during the first six-month period of 2008, and the continued expected cash flow performance and priority of cash flows.

	•		$58.7 million, or 80%, reduction in impaired loans held-for-sale, primarily reflecting loan sales and payments.

	•		$2.9 million decline in OREO.

Partially offset by:

•

$215.3 million, or 67%, increase in NALs primarily reflecting the overall economic weakness in our markets. These increases are primarily in our C&I and CRE portfolios, reflecting the continued softness in the residential real estate development markets.

From time to time, as part of our loss mitigation process, loans may be renegotiated when we determine that we will ultimately receive greater economic value under the new terms than through foreclosure, liquidation, or bankruptcy. We may consider the borrower’s payment status and history, borrower’s ability to pay upon a rate reset on an adjustable rate mortgage, size of the payment increase upon a rate reset, period of time remaining prior to the rate reset and other relevant factors in determining whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These restructurings generally occur within the residential mortgage and home equity loan portfolios and are not material in any period presented.

Allowances for Credit Losses (ACL)
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Items 1 and 2.)

We maintain two reserves, both of which are available to absorb credit losses: the ALLL and the AULC. When summed together, these reserves constitute the total ACL. Our credit administration group is responsible for developing the methodology and determining the adequacy of the ACL.

The increases to the ALLL of $51.8 million and $101.0 million compared with March 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively, primarily reflected the impact of the continued economic weakness across our Midwest markets. Our loan loss reserve methodology indicates the need for higher reserves in response to changes in underlying portfolio characteristics as reflected in the transaction reserve component, and changes in the economy as reflected in the economic reserve component. At June 30, 2008, the specific ALLL related to Franklin was $115.3 million, unchanged compared with December 31, 2007.

The estimated loss factors assigned to credit exposures across the portfolio are updated from time to time based on changes in actual performance. During the 2008 first quarter, we updated the expected loss factors used to estimate the AULC. The lower expected loss factors were based on our observations of how unfunded loan commitments have historically become funded loans. Additionally, we also made other adjustments that affected the level of the ALLL during the first six-month period of 2008. In the aggregate, these changes did not have a significant impact to the provision for credit losses for the first six-month period of 2008.

Second quarter performance was generally in line with the full-year net charge-off expectation we provided at the end of the 2008 first quarter of 0.60%-.65%. Reflecting the expectation for continued economic weakness into 2009, we have raised our 2008 full-year net charge-off expectation to 0.65%-0.70%.

The $16.8 million increase in total NCOs compared with the prior quarter was driven primarily by a $12.5 million increase in total commercial NCOs to $27.5 million, or an annualized 0.47% of related balances. This increase primarily reflected higher CRE NCOs, particularly within the single family home builder segment. Commercial NCOs typically

41

display more variance between quarters as such charge-offs are generally of larger relative amount compared with consumer loans where the average charge-off amount is smaller.

In reviewing commercial NCOs trends, it is helpful to understand that reserves for such loans are usually established in periods prior to that in which any related NCOs are typically recognized. As the quality of a commercial credit deteriorates, it migrates from a higher quality loan classification to a lower quality classification. As a part of our normal process, the credit is reviewed and reserves are established or increased as warranted. It is usually not until a later period that the credit is resolved and a NCO is recognized. If the previously established reserves exceed that needed to satisfactorily resolve the problem credit, a recovery would be recognized; if not, a final NCO is recorded. Increases in reserves precede increases in NALs. Once a credit is classified as NAL, it is evaluated for specific reserves. As a result, an increase in NALs does not necessarily result in an increase in reserves. In sum, the typical sequence are periods of building reserve levels, followed by periods of higher NCOs that are applied against these previously established reserves.

Automobile loan and lease NCOs were $11.5 million, or an annualized 1.01%, in the current quarter. This level reflected a slightly lower level of annualized automobile loan NCOs compared with the prior quarter, but an increase in annualized automobile lease NCOs. The declining balances of automobile direct financing leases, resulting from no new automobile direct financing leases being originated, increases the potential for volatility in reported automobile direct financing lease NCOs. Both the automobile loan and lease NCOs were also negatively impacted by the lack of recovery in used car prices. It is our expectation that the automobile loan and lease NCO ratio for the second six-month period of 2008 will be consistent with the first six-month period of 2008.

Home equity NCOs in the 2008 second quarter were $14.0 million, or an annualized 0.76%. This portfolio continues to be impacted by the general housing market slowdown, and the resulting losses were evident across our banking footprint. Our expectation is that second six-month period of 2008 performance will be consistent with the first six-month period of 2008, as the small broker-originated portfolio continues to decline, and our enhanced loss mitigation programs positively impact performance. We continue to believe our home equity NCO experience will compare very favorably to the industry.

Residential mortgage NCOs were $4.3 million, or an annualized 0.33% of related average balances. We expect residential mortgage NCOs will remain under only modest upward pressure from the first six-month period of 2008 level for the remainder of 2008, given our limited exposure to non-traditional mortgages.

Investment Portfolio
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Item 5.)

We routinely review our available-for-sale portfolio, and recognize impairment write-downs based primarily on fair value, issuer-specific factors and results, and our intent to hold such investments.

43

Available-for-sale portfolio

Our available-for-sale portfolio is evaluated in light of established asset/liability management objectives, and changing market conditions that could affect the profitability of the portfolio, as well as the level of interest rate risk we are exposed to.

Within our securities available-for-sale portfolio are asset-backed securities. At June 30, 2008, the securities in this portfolio had a fair value that was $173.7 million less than their book value, resulting from increased liquidity spreads and higher long-term rates during the first six-month period of 2008, as well as the expected extended duration of the securities. We have reviewed our asset-backed securities portfolio with an independent party, and we do not believe that there has been an adverse change in the estimated cash flows that we expect to receive from these securities. Therefore, we believe the $173.7 million of impairment to be temporary. Table 27 details our asset-backed securities exposure.

⁽¹⁾		Other securities represent certain investment securities backed by mortgage loans to borrowers with lower FICO scores.

At June 30, 2008, we held in our investment securities portfolio $123.1 million of Fannie Mae debt securities with a weight average maturity of 1.9 years, and $225.9 million of Freddie Mac debt securities with a weighted average maturity of 2.5 years. Combined equity holdings in these companies was immaterial.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss due to changes in the market value of assets and liabilities due to changes in market interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, and credit spreads. Interest rate risk and price risk are our two primary sources of market risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and value arising from changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from timing differences in the repricings and maturities of interest bearing assets and liabilities (reprice risk), changes in the expected maturities of assets and liabilities arising from embedded options, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay residential mortgage loans at any time and depositors’ ability to terminate certificates of deposit before maturity (option risk), changes in the shape of the yield curve whereby market interest rates increase or decrease in a non-parallel fashion (yield curve risk), and changes in spread relationships between different yield curves, such as U.S. Treasuries and LIBOR (basis risk).

The simulations for evaluating short-term interest rate risk exposure are scenarios that model gradual 100 and 200 basis point increasing and decreasing parallel shifts in market interest rates over the next 12-month period beyond the interest rate change implied by the current yield curve. As of June 30, 2008, the scenario that used the “-200 basis” point parallel shift in market interest rates over the next 12-month period indicated that market interest rates could fall below historical levels. Accordingly, management instituted an assumption that market interest rates would not fall below 0.50% over the next 12-month period. The table below shows the results of the scenarios as of June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007. All of the positions were well within the board of directors’ policy limits.

44

Table 28 — Net Interest Income at Risk


	Net Interest Income at Risk (%)

Basis point change scenario		-200		-100		+100		+200

December 31, 2007		-3.0	%	-1.3	%	+1.4	%	+2.2	%

The change in net interest income at risk reported as of June 30, 2008 compared with December 31, 2007 reflected actions taken by management to reduce net interest income at risk. During the first quarter of 2008, $2.5 billion of receive fixed rate, pay variable rate interest rate swaps were executed, and $0.2 billion of pay fixed rate, receive variable rate interest rate swaps were terminated. The combined impact of these actions decreased net interest income at risk to market interest rates “+200” basis points 1.9%. The remainder of the change in net interest income at risk to market interest rates “+200” basis points was primarily related to the impact of slower prepayments on mortgage assets resulting from expectations for higher longer-term market interest rates over the simulation horizon.

The primary simulations for EVE at risk assume immediate 100 and 200 basis point increasing and decreasing parallel shifts in market interest rates beyond the interest rate change implied by the current yield curve. The table below outlines the June 30, 2008, results compared with December 31, 2007.

December 31, 2007		-0.3	%	+1.1	%	-4.4	%	-10.8	%

The change to EVE at risk reported as of June 30, 2008 compared with December 31, 2007 reflected the impact of slower prepayments on mortgage assets resulting from expectations for higher longer-term market interest rates. The “+100” basis point scenario was slightly outside the board of directors’ policy limits. However, the Market Risk Committee (MRC) recommended in April 2008, and the Risk Committee of the board of directors approved, a temporary exception to the policy limits for the purpose of minimizing the amount of net interest income at risk as noted above. EVE at risk is expected to be within the board of directors’ policy limits by December 31, 2008.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs)

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Item 4.)

MSR fair values are very sensitive to movements in interest rates as expected future net servicing income depends on the projected outstanding principal balances of the underlying loans, which can be greatly reduced by prepayments. Prepayments usually increase when mortgage interest rates decline and decrease when mortgage interest rates rise. We have employed strategies to reduce the risk of MSR fair value changes. In addition, a third party has been engaged to provide improved analytical tools and insight to enhance our strategies with the objective to decrease the volatility from MSR fair value changes. However, volatile changes in interest rates can diminish the effectiveness of these hedges. We typically report MSR fair value adjustments net of hedge-related trading activity in the mortgage banking income category of non-interest income.

At June 30, 2008, we had a total of $240.0 million of MSRs representing the right to service $15.8 billion in mortgage loans. For additional information regarding MSRs, please refer to Note 5 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

45

Price Risk

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Item 5.)

Price risk represents the risk of loss arising from adverse movements in the prices of financial instruments that are carried at fair value and are subject to fair value accounting. We have price risk from trading securities, which includes instruments to hedge MSRs. We also have price risk from securities owned by our broker-dealer subsidiaries, foreign exchange positions, equity investments, investments in securities backed by mortgage loans, and marketable equity securities held by our insurance subsidiaries. We have established loss limits on the trading portfolio, on the amount of foreign exchange exposure that can be maintained, and on the amount of marketable equity securities that can be held by the insurance subsidiaries.

Equity Investment Portfolios

In reviewing our equity investment portfolio, we consider general economic and market conditions, including industries in which private equity merchant banking and community development investments are made, and adverse changes affecting the availability of capital. We determine any impairment based on all of the information available at the time of the assessment. New information or economic developments in the future could result in recognition of additional impairment.

From time to time, we invest in various investments with equity risk. Such investments include investment funds that buy and sell publicly traded securities, investment funds that hold securities of private companies, direct equity or venture capital investments in companies (public and private), and direct equity or venture capital interests in private companies in connection with our mezzanine lending activities. These investments are reported as a component of “accrued income and other assets” on our consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2008, we had a total of $39.5 million of such investments, down from $48.7 million at December 31, 2007. The following table details the components of this change during the first six-month period of 2008.

Total	$	48,747	$	4,964	$	(864	)	$	(13,392	)	$	39,455

The majority of the equity investment losses in the first six-month period of 2008 was attributable to: (a) $5.9 million venture capital loss, and (b) $7.3 million losses on public equity investment funds that buy and sell publicly traded securities and private equity investments. These investments were in funds that focus on the financial services sector that, during the first six months of 2008, performed worse than the broad equity market.

Investment decisions that incorporate credit risk require the approval of the independent credit administration function. The degree of initial due diligence and subsequent review is a function of the type, size, and collateral of the investment. Performance is monitored on a regular basis, and reported to the MRC and the Risk Committee of the board of directors.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of loss due to the possibility that funds may not be available to satisfy current or future commitments based on external macro market issues, investor perception of financial strength, and events unrelated to the company such as war, terrorism, or financial institution market specific issues. We manage liquidity risk at both the Bank and at the parent company, Huntington Bancshares Incorporated.

46

Liquidity policies and limits are established by our board of directors, with operating limits set by the MRC, based upon analyses of the ratio of loans to deposits, the percentage of assets funded with non-core or wholesale funding, and the amount of liquid assets available to cover non-core funds maturities. In addition, guidelines are established to ensure diversification of wholesale funding by type, source, and maturity and provide sufficient balance sheet liquidity to cover 100% of wholesale funds maturing within a six-month period. A contingency funding plan is in place, which includes forecasted sources and uses of funds under various scenarios in order to prepare for unexpected liquidity shortages, including the implications of any rating changes. The MRC meets monthly to identify and monitor liquidity issues, provide policy guidance, and oversee adherence to, and the maintenance of, the contingency funding plan.

Bank Liquidity

Conditions in the capital markets remained volatile throughout the first six-month period of 2008 resulting from the disruptions caused by the Bear Stearns liquidity crisis and subsequent forced portfolio liquidations from a variety of mortgage related hedge funds. As a result, liquidity premiums and credit spreads widened and many investors remained invested in lower risk investments such as US Treasuries. Many banks relying on short term funding structures, such as commercial paper, alternative collateral repurchase agreements, or other short term funding vehicles, have had limited access to these funding markets. We, however, have maintained a diversified wholesale funding structure with an emphasis on reducing the risk from maturing borrowings resulting in minimizing our reliance on the short term funding markets. We do not have an active commercial paper funding program and, while historically we have used the securitization markets (primarily indirect auto loans and leases) to provide funding, we do not rely heavily on these sources of funding. In addition, we do not provide liquidity facilities for conduits, structured investment vehicles, or other off-balance sheet financing structures. As expected, indicative credit spreads have widened in the secondary market for our debt. We expect these spreads to remain wider than in prior periods for the foreseeable future.

Our primary source of funding for the Bank is retail and commercial core deposits. Core deposits are comprised of interest bearing and non-interest bearing demand deposits, money market deposits, savings and other domestic time deposits, consumer certificates of deposit both over and under $100,000, and non-consumer certificates of deposit less than $100,000. Non-core deposits are comprised of brokered money market deposits and certificates of deposit, foreign time deposits, and other domestic time deposits of $100,000 or more comprised primarily of public fund certificates of deposit greater than $100,000.

Core deposits can also increase our need for liquidity as certificates of deposit mature or are withdrawn early and as non-maturity deposits, such as checking and savings account balances, are withdrawn.

To the extent that we are unable to obtain sufficient liquidity through core deposits, we can meet our liquidity needs through short-term borrowings by purchasing federal funds or by selling securities under repurchase agreements. The Bank also has access to the Federal Reserve’s discount window and term auction facility. As of June 30, 2008, a total of $8.3 billion of commercial loans and home equity lines of credit were pledged to these facilities. As of June 30, 2008, borrowings under the term auction facility totaled $0.3 billion, with a $6.1 billion of borrowing capacity available from both facilities. Additionally, the Bank has a $4.4 billion borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, of which $1.3 billion remained unused at June 30, 2008. Other sources of liquidity exist within our securities available-for-sale, and the relatively shorter-term structure of our commercial loans and automobile loans.

During the quarter, we reduced our dependency on overnight funding through: (a) an on-balance sheet securitization transaction, which raised $887 million of longer-term funding, (b) the net proceeds of our convertible preferred stock issuance, (c) the sale of $473 million of residential real estate loans, and (d) managing down of certain non-relationship collateralized public funds deposits and related collateral securities.

At June 30, 2008, we believe that the Bank had sufficient liquidity to meet its cash flow obligations for the foreseeable future.

Parent Company Liquidity

At June 30, 2008, the parent company had $665.1 million in cash or cash equivalents, compared with $153.5 million at December 31, 2007. This increase primarily reflected net proceeds from the current quarter’s issuance of preferred stock (see below paragraph) and the decision to reduce the quarterly cash dividend on our common stock. On April 15, 2008, we declared a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.1325 per common share, payable July 1, 2008, to shareholders of record on June 13, 2008. Also, on July 16, 2008, we declared a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.1325 per common share, payable October 1, 2008, to shareholders of record on September 12, 2008.

During the 2008 second quarter, we issued an aggregate $569 million of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock will pay, as declared by our board of directors, dividends in cash at a rate of 8.50% per annum, payable quarterly, commencing July 15, 2008. (Please refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.) On May 27, 2008, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock of $19.597 per share. This amount was pro-rated over the initial dividend period as further set forth in the Articles Supplementary classifying the preferred stock. The dividend was payable July 15, 2008, to shareholders of record on July 1, 2008. On July 16, 2008, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Preferred Stock of $21.25 per share. The dividend is payable October 15, 2008, to shareholders of record on October 1, 2008.

Based on the regulatory dividend limitation, the Bank could not have declared and paid a dividend to the parent company at June 30, 2008, without regulatory approval. We do not anticipate that the parent company will receive dividends from the Bank until later in 2008. To help meet any additional liquidity needs, we have an open-ended, automatic shelf registration statement filed and effective with the SEC, which permits us to issue an unspecified amount of debt or equity securities. We also have a $50.0 million committed line of credit that expires in 2009. This credit facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain certain levels on return on average assets ratio, nonperforming assets, capital ratios, and double leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2008, the entire borrowing capacity was available for use.

Considering anticipated earnings and the capital raised from the 2008 second quarter preferred-stock issuance (discussed above), we believe the parent company has sufficient liquidity to meet its cash flow obligations for the foreseeable future.

Credit Ratings

Credit ratings by the three major credit rating agencies are an important component of our liquidity profile. Among other factors, the credit ratings are based on financial strength, credit quality and concentrations in the loan portfolio, the level and volatility of earnings, capital adequacy, the quality of management, the liquidity of the balance sheet, the availability of a significant base of core retail and commercial deposits, and our ability to access a broad array of wholesale

49

funding sources. Adverse changes in these factors could result in a negative change in credit ratings and impact not only the ability to raise funds in the capital markets, but also the cost of these funds. In addition, certain financial on- and off-balance sheet arrangements contain credit rating triggers that could increase funding needs if a negative rating change occurs. Letter of credit commitments for marketable securities, interest rate swap collateral agreements, and certain asset securitization transactions contain credit rating provisions. (See the “Liquidity Risks” section in Part 1 of the 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.)

On February 22, 2008, Moody’s Investor Service affirmed the ratings of the parent company and the Bank. Moody’s Investor Service and Fitch Ratings upgraded the ratings outlook comment to stable from negative on May 13, 2008, and June 27, 2008, respectively.

Credit ratings as of June 30, 2008, for the parent company and the Bank were:

As an investor, you should be aware that a security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold securities, that it may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization, and that each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we enter into various off-balance sheet arrangements. These arrangements include financial guarantees contained in standby letters of credit issued by the Bank and commitments by the Bank to sell mortgage loans.

Through our credit process, we monitor the credit risks of outstanding standby letters of credit. When it is probable that a standby letter of credit will be drawn and not repaid in full, losses are recognized in the provision for credit losses. At June 30, 2008, we had $1.6 billion of standby letters of credit outstanding, of which 42% were collateralized. Included in these letters of credit are letters of credit issued by the Bank that support $0.9 billion of notes and bonds that have been issued by our customers and sold by The Huntington Investment Company, our broker-dealer subsidiary. If the Bank’s short-term credit ratings were downgraded, the Bank could be required to purchase all of these bonds pursuant to its letters of credit, requiring the Bank to obtain funding for the amount of notes and bonds purchased.

We enter into forward contracts relating to the mortgage banking business to hedge the exposures we have from commitments to extend new residential mortgage loans to our customers and from our held-for-sale mortgage loans. At June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007, we had commitments to sell residential real estate loans of $577.0 million, $555.9 million, and $484.5 million, respectively. These contracts mature in less than one year.

We do not believe that off-balance sheet arrangements will have a material impact on our liquidity or capital resources.

Operational Risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss due to human error, inadequate or failed internal systems and controls, violations of, or noncompliance with, laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards, and external influences such as market conditions, fraudulent activities, disasters, and security risks. We continuously strive to strengthen our system of internal controls to ensure compliance with laws, rules and regulations, and to improve the oversight of our operational risk.

50

Capital

Capital is managed both at the Bank and on a consolidated basis. Capital levels are maintained based on regulatory capital requirements and the economic capital required to support credit, market, liquidity, and operational risks inherent in our business, and to provide the flexibility needed for future growth and new business opportunities.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $6.4 billion at June 30, 2008. This balance was an increase compared with $5.9 billion at December 31, 2007, primarily reflecting the current quarter’s issuance of preferred stock (see below paragraph).

During the 2008 second quarter, we issued an aggregate $569 million of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock will pay, when declared by our board of directors, dividends in cash at a rate of 8.50% per annum, payable quarterly, commencing July 15, 2008. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is non-voting and may be convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into 83.668 shares of common stock of Huntington.

Additionally, to accelerate the building of capital and to lower the cost of issuing the aforementioned securities, we reduced our quarterly common stock dividend to $0.1325 per common share, effective with the dividend payable July 1, 2008.

No shares were repurchased during the quarter. Although there are currently 3.9 million shares remaining available under the current authorization announced April 20, 2006, no future share repurchases are contemplated.

As shown in the table below, our tangible equity to assets ratio was 5.90% at June 30, 2008, up compared with 5.08% at December 31, 2007, and 4.92% at March 31, 2008. The 98 basis point increase from March 31, 2008, primarily reflected the benefit of the issuance of the $569 million of convertible preferred stock, as well as retained earnings.

⁽¹⁾		June 30, 2008 figures are estimated. Based on an interim decision by the banking agencies on December 14, 2006, Huntington has excluded the impact of adopting Statement 158 from the regulatory capital calculations.

The Bank is primarily supervised and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which establishes regulatory capital guidelines for banks similar to those established for bank holding companies by the Federal Reserve Board. We intend to maintain both the parent company’s and the Bank’s risk-based capital ratios at levels at which each would be considered “well capitalized” by regulators. At June 30, 2008, the Bank had Tier 1 and Total risk-based capital in excess of the minimum level required to be considered “well capitalized” of $512.0 million and $148.8 million, respectively; and the parent company had Tier 1 and Total risk-based capital in excess of the minimum level required to be considered “well capitalized” of $1.3 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.

LINES OF BUSINESS DISCUSSION

This section reviews financial performance from a line of business perspective and should be read in conjunction with the Discussion of Results of Operations, Note 14 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and other sections for a full understanding of consolidated financial performance.

We have three distinct lines of business: Regional Banking, Dealer Sales, and the Private Financial and Capital Markets Group (PFCMG). A fourth segment includes our Treasury function and other unallocated assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense. Lines of business results are determined based upon our management reporting system, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the business segments. The process is designed around our organizational and management structure and, accordingly, the results derived are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions. An overview of this system is provided below, along with a description of each segment and discussion of financial results.

Acquisition of Sky Financial

The businesses acquired in the Sky Financial merger were fully integrated into each of the corresponding Huntington lines of business as of July 1, 2007. The Sky Financial merger had the largest impact to Regional Banking, but also impacted PFCMG and Treasury/Other. For Regional Banking, the merger added four new banking regions and strengthened our presence in five regions where Huntington previously operated. The merger did not significantly impact Dealer Sales.

After completion of the Sky Financial acquisition, we combined Sky Financial’s operations with ours. Methodologies were implemented to estimate the approximate effect of the acquisition for the entire company; however, these methodologies were not designed to estimate the approximate effect of the acquisition to individual lines of business. As a result, the effect of the acquisition to the individual lines of business is not quantifiable. In the following individual line of business discussions, 2008 second quarter results are compared with 2008 first quarter results. We believe that this comparison provides the most meaningful analysis because: (a) the impacts of the Sky Financial acquisition are included in both periods, (b) the comparisons of 2008 second quarter results to 2007 second quarter results are distorted as a result of the non-quantifiable impact of the Sky Financial acquisition to the individual lines of business, and (c) the comparisons of the first six-month period of 2008 to the first six-month period of 2007 are distorted as a result of the non-quantifiable impact of the Sky Financial acquisition to the individual lines of business.

Funds Transfer Pricing

We use a centralized funds transfer pricing (FTP) methodology to attribute appropriate net interest income to the business segments. The Treasury/Other business segment charges (credits) an internal cost of funds for assets held in (or pays for funding provided by) each line of business. The FTP rate is based on prevailing market interest rates for comparable duration assets (or liabilities). Deposits of an indeterminate maturity receive an FTP credit based on vintage-based pool rates. Other assets, liabilities, and capital are charged (credited) with a four-year moving average FTP rate. The

53

intent of the FTP methodology is to eliminate all interest rate risk from the lines of business by providing matched duration funding of assets and liabilities. The result is to centralize the financial impact, management, and reporting of interest rate and liquidity risk in Treasury/Other where it can be monitored and managed.

Treasury/Other

The Treasury function includes revenue and expense related to assets, liabilities, and equity not directly assigned or allocated to one of the other three business segments. Assets in this segment include insurance, investment securities, and bank owned life insurance. The financial impact associated with our FTP methodology, as described above, is also included in this segment.

Net interest income includes the impact of administering our investment securities portfolios and the net impact of derivatives used to hedge interest rate sensitivity. Non-interest income includes miscellaneous fee income not allocated to other business segments such as bank owned life insurance income, insurance revenue, and any investment securities and trading assets gains or losses. Non-interest expense includes certain corporate administrative, merger, and other miscellaneous expenses not allocated to other business segments. The provision for income taxes for the other business segments is calculated at a statutory 35% tax rate, though our overall effective tax rate is lower. As a result, Treasury/Other reflects a credit for income taxes representing the difference between the lower actual effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate used to allocate income taxes to the other segments.

The 2008 second quarter increase in the net interest margin compared with the 2008 first quarter primarily reflected the impact of improved pricing of our funding costs, particularly as related to deposits. As this factor is primarily related to interest rate risk, and our FTP methodology is constructed so as to eliminate interest rate risk from the lines of business, this increase in our net interest margin is reflected in our Treasury/Other segment.

Net Income by Business Segment

The company reported net income of $101.4 million in the 2008 second quarter. This compared with a net income of $127.1 million in the 2008 first quarter, a decline of $25.7 million. The breakdown of net income for the 2008 second quarter by business segment is as follows:

	§		Regional Banking: $117.5 million ($5.5 million increase compared with 2008 first quarter)

	§		Dealer Sales: $7.9 million ($4.2 million increase compared with 2008 first quarter)

	§		PFCMG: $9.5 million ($3.2 million decrease compared with 2008 first quarter)

	§		Treasury/Other: $33.5 million loss ($32.2 million decrease compared with 2008 first quarter)

54

Regional Banking
(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Items 1, 2, and 4.)

Objectives, Strategies, and Priorities

Our Regional Banking line of business provides traditional banking products and services to consumer, small business, and commercial customers located in its 13 operating regions within the six states of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia, and Kentucky. It provides these services through a banking network of over 600 branches, and over 1,400 ATMs, along with Internet and telephone banking channels. It also provides certain services on a limited basis outside of these six states, including mortgage banking and equipment leasing. Each region is further divided into retail and commercial banking units. Retail products and services include home equity loans and lines of credit, first mortgage loans, direct installment loans, small business loans, personal and business deposit products, as well as sales of investment and insurance services. At June 30, 2008, Retail Banking accounted for 52% and 80% of total Regional Banking loans and deposits, respectively. Commercial Banking serves middle market commercial banking relationships, which use a variety of banking products and services including, but not limited to, commercial loans, international trade, cash management, leasing, interest rate protection products, capital market alternatives, 401(k) plans, and mezzanine investment capabilities.

We have a business model that emphasizes the delivery of a complete set of banking products and services offered by larger banks, but distinguished by local decision-making about the pricing and the offering of these products. Our strategy is to focus on building a deeper relationship with our customers by providing a “Simply the Best” service experience. This focus on service requires continued investments in state-of-the-art platform technology in our branches, award-winning retail and business websites for our customers, extensive development of associates, and internal processes that empower our local bankers to serve our customers better. We expect the combination of local decision-making and “Simply the Best” service provides a competitive advantage and supports revenue and earnings growth.

eop - End of Period.

Regional Banking contributed $117.5 million of the company’s net income in the 2008 second quarter. This compared with net income of $112.0 million in the 2008 first quarter, and represented an increase of $5.5 million.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $7.2 million, or 2%, reflecting a $0.4 billion, or 1%, increase in total average earning assets, primarily in commercial loans, and a 3 basis point increase in the net interest margin to 4.46% compared with 4.43%. Also contributing to the increase was a combined increase of $0.3 billion, or 3%, in consumer deposit transaction accounts and consumer certificates-of-deposit under $100,000, as well as improved spreads in our consumer savings and consumer money-market products.

55

Total average loans and leases increased $459 million, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter primarily reflecting growth in our C&I and CRE portfolios. C&I loans increased $263 million, or 2%, and CRE loans grew $306 million, or 3%. The Southern Ohio/KY, Central Ohio, and Cleveland regions accounted for most of Regional Banking’s commercial loan growth. These increases were partially offset by a $0.1 billion, or 1%, decrease in consumer loans, primarily in residential mortgages, reflecting loan sales during the quarter.

Average deposits grew $345 million, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter. This growth was driven primarily by a $0.6 billion, or 4%, increase in time deposits. Additionally, consumer interest checking deposits increased $114 million, or 4%, due partly to an increase in retail banking DDA households. This favorable growth was partially offset by a $374 million, or 12%, decrease in commercial non-time deposits and was the result of a planned reduction in non-relationship collateralized public fund deposits.

The provision for credit losses increased to $104.7 million in the current quarter compared with $69.7 million in the prior quarter reflecting higher NCOs during the quarter, as well as increases in total loans at the end of the period, especially within the commercial loan portfolio. NCOs totaled $51.3 million, or an annualized 0.63% of average loans and leases, in the 2008 second quarter compared with $34.8 million, or an annualized 0.44% of average loans and leases, in the 2008 first quarter. This increase reflected the impact of the continued economic weakness across our Midwest markets, most notably in portfolios related to the residential housing sector, both commercial and consumer.

Non-interest income increased $30.7 million, or 26%, primarily reflecting: (a) $19.5 million increase in mortgage banking income primarily due to lower losses of $14.0 million related to the net hedging impact of MSRs, and (b) $9.8 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges and fees primarily due to seasonal increases.

Non-interest expense decreased $5.6 million, or 2%, primarily reflecting a $4.6 million decrease in personnel expense resulting from the impact of an average reduction of 260, or 4%, full-time equivalent staff reflecting the benefit of merger efficiencies and restructuring.

56

Dealer Sales

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Item 1.)

Objectives, Strategies, and Priorities

Our Dealer Sales line of business provides a variety of banking products and services to more than 3,800 automotive dealerships within our primary banking markets, as well as in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, and Texas. Dealer Sales finances the purchase of automobiles by customers at the automotive dealerships; purchases automobiles from dealers and simultaneously leases the automobiles to consumers under long-term leases; finances dealerships’ new and used vehicle inventories, land, buildings, and other real estate owned by the dealership, and their working capital needs; and provides other banking services to the automotive dealerships and their owners. Competition from the financing divisions of automobile manufacturers and from other financial institutions is intense. Dealer Sales’ production opportunities are directly impacted by the general automotive sales business, including programs initiated by manufacturers to enhance and increase sales directly. We have been in this line of business for over 50 years.

The Dealer Sales strategy has been to focus on developing relationships with the dealership through its finance department, general manager, and owner. An underwriter who understands each local market makes loan decisions, though we prioritize maintaining pricing discipline over market share.

N.M., not a meaningful value.

Dealer Sales contributed $7.9 million, or 8%, of the company’s net income in the 2008 second quarter. This compared with $3.7 million in the 2008 first quarter, and represented an increase of $4.2 million.

The most notable factor contributing to the $4.2 million increase in net income was a $10.2 million decrease in provision for credit losses to $6.9 million in the current quarter compared with $17.1 million in the prior quarter. This decrease reflected a reduction of approximately $7.0 million in the ALLL maintained for commercial loans during the 2008 second quarter due to the improved credit quality of this portfolio combined with an increase of approximately $3.0 million in the ALLL maintained for consumer loans during the 2008 first quarter due to the deteriorating quality of this portfolio associated with the continuing economic weakness in our markets.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income decreased $0.8 million, or 2%, reflecting a 12 basis point decline in net interest margin to 2.37% in the current quarter compared with 2.49% in the prior quarter primarily due to increased interest costs related to operating lease assets as that portfolio continues to grow (see below for associated increases in other non interest income and expense). These decreases were partially offset by a $0.2 billion, or 3%, increase in average total consumer loans (see next paragraph).

Total average automobile loans increased $0.3 billion reflecting a continuation of strong origination volumes, which totaled $673 million for the 2008 second quarter and $679 million for the 2008 first quarter, both significantly above 2007 levels. The increase in automobile loan production reflected the consistent execution of our commitment to service quality to our dealers, as well as market dynamics that have resulted in some competitors reducing their automobile lending activities. The increase in total average automobile loans was partially offset by $0.1 billion, or 9%, decline in average

57

lease balances (operating and direct leases, combined), reflecting consistent declines in automobile lease production volumes since the 2007 second quarter as automobile lease production continues to be challenged by special programs offered by automobile manufacturers’ captive finance companies.

Non-interest expense (excluding operating lease expense) increased $2.4 million, or 11%, reflecting a $1.9 million increase in losses resulting from sales of vehicles returned at the end of their lease terms as values of many used vehicles have continued to decline, as well as higher collection related costs. Additionally, non-interest income (excluding operating lease income) decreased $1.4 million, or 20%, primarily reflecting a $1.0 million reduction in fee income from Huntington Plus loans as production levels of this product have declined.

Automobile operating lease income increased $0.8 million, or 63%, reflecting a 70% increase in operating lease assets. This increase consisted of a $3.5 million increase in non-interest income, offset by a $2.7 million increase in non-interest expense. As discussed previously, all automobile lease originations since the 2007 fourth quarter were recorded as operating leases.

NCOs totaled $12.4 million, or an annualized 0.85% of average related loans and leases compared with $11.7 million, or an annualized 0.82% of average related loans and leases in the 2008 first quarter. This increase reflected the continued economic weakness in our markets along with declines in values of certain used vehicles, which have resulted in lower recovery rates on sales of repossessed vehicles.

58

Private Financial and Capital Markets Group (PFCMG)

(This section should be read in conjunction with Significant Items 1, 5, and 6.)

Objectives, Strategies, and Priorities

The PFCMG provides products and services designed to meet the needs of higher net worth customers. Revenue results from the sale of trust, asset management, investment advisory, brokerage, and private banking products and services. PFCMG also focuses on financial solutions for corporate and institutional customers that include investment banking, sales and trading of securities, mezzanine capital financing, and interest rate risk management products. To serve higher net worth customers, a unique distribution model is used that employs a single, unified sales force to deliver products and services mainly through Regional Banking distribution channels. PFCMG provides investment management and custodial services to our Huntington Funds, which consists of 32 proprietary mutual funds, including 11 variable annuity funds. Huntington Funds assets represented 29% of the approximately $14.6 billion total assets under management at June 30, 2008. The Huntington Investment Company offers brokerage and investment advisory services to both Regional Banking and PFCMG customers through a combination of licensed investment sales representatives and licensed personal bankers.

PFCMG’s primary goals are to consistently increase assets under management by offering innovative products and services that are responsive to our clients’ changing financial needs and to grow the balance sheet mainly through increased loan volume achieved through improved cross-selling efforts. To grow managed assets, the Huntington Investment Company sales team has been utilized as the distribution source for trust and investment management.

Total trust assets (in billions)		52.7			55.1			(2.4	)		(4.4	)

PFCMG contributed $9.5 million, or 9%, of the company’s net income in the 2008 second quarter. This compared with $12.7 million in the 2008 first quarter, and represented a decrease of $3.2 million.

Factors negatively impacting the 2008 second quarter performance included: (a) $7.5 million increase in provision for credit losses related to the current quarter’s rise in C&I NALs to $23 million compared with $7 million in the 2008 first quarter; and (b) $0.1 million decrease in fully taxable equivalent net interest income reflecting a 8 basis point decline in net interest margin to 3.75% in the current quarter compared with 3.83% in the prior quarter.

Partially offsetting the above negative impacts was a $2.6 million, or 5%, decrease in non-interest expense, primarily reflecting a $1.8 million, or 6%, decrease in personnel expense resulting from the impact of a reduction of 50, or 5%, full-time equivalent staff during the quarter. Reduced losses accounted for most of the remaining expense decrease.

Total non-interest income for the current quarter was flat compared with the prior quarter. After considering equity investment losses ($8.6 million in the current quarter and $4.2 in the prior quarter), non-interest income declined $4.4 million, reflecting: (a) $1.1 million, or 3%, decrease in trust services income, representing a 4% decline in total trust assets, which was primarily market value driven, and (b) $3.3 million, or 28%, decrease in revenue associated with customer loan swap transactions. Such revenue, although down from the prior quarter, was significantly higher than 2007 levels reflecting lower interest rates and increased sales to former Sky Financial customers. These impacts were partially offset by a $0.5 million, or 3%, increase in brokerage and insurance income reflecting a 9% increase in annuity sales volume. Although net income excluding equity investment losses declined from the current quarter compared to the prior quarter, net income

59

excluding equity investment losses ($12.8 million in the first six-month period of 2008 and $6.2 million in the first six-month period of 2007) increased 26% from the first six-month period of 2008 compared to the first six-month period of 2007 reflecting the increase in revenue from commercial loan swaps combined with the impact of the Sky Financial acquisition.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington or the Company) 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 Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Huntington’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, (2007 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.

Certain amounts in the prior-year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

For statement of cash flows purposes, cash and cash equivalents are defined as the sum of “Cash and due from banks” and “Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements.”

Note 2 – New Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (Statement No. 157) – In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157. This Statement establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to GAAP guidance requiring use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. Statement No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Huntington adopted Statement No. 157 effective January 1, 2008. The financial impact of this pronouncement was not material to Huntington’s consolidated financial statements (See Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and Note 10).

In February 2008, the FASB issued two Staff Positions (FSPs) on Statement No. 157: FSP 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement Under Statement 13,” and FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.” FSP 157-1 excludes fair value measurements related to leases from the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 157. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of Statement No. 157 for all non-recurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Huntington is applying the deferral guidance in FSP 157-2, and accordingly, has not applied the non-recurring disclosure to non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities valued at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Statement No. 159) – In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Huntington adopted Statement No. 159, effective January 1, 2008. The impact of this new pronouncement was not material to Huntington’s consolidated financial statements (See Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and Note 10).

FSP FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39 (FSP 39-1) – In April 2007, the FASB issued FSP 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts. FSP 39-1 permits entities to offset fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. FSP 39-1 clarifies that the fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral, or the obligation to return cash collateral, arising from the same master netting arrangement, should also be offset against the fair value of the related derivative instruments. The Company has historically presented all of its derivative positions and related collateral on a gross basis.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted a net presentation for derivative positions and related collateral entered into under master netting agreements pursuant to the guidance in FIN 39 and FSP 39-1. The adoption of this guidance resulted in balance sheet reclassifications of certain cash collateral-based short-term investments against the related derivative liabilities and certain deposit liability balances against the related fair values of derivative assets. The effects of these reclassifications will fluctuate based on the fair values of the derivative contracts but overall are not expected to have

65

a material impact on either total assets or total liabilities. The adoption of this presentation change did not have an impact on stockholders’ equity, results of operations, or liquidity.

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings (SAB 109) – In November 2007, the SEC issued SAB 109. SAB 109 provides the staff’s views on the accounting for written loan commitments recorded at fair value. To make the staff ’s views consistent with Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, and Statement No. 159, SAB 109 revises and rescinds portions of SAB No. 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments, and requires that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. The provisions of SAB 109 are applicable to written loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. Huntington adopted SAB 109, effective January 1, 2008. The impact of this new pronouncement was not material to Huntington’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (Statement No. 141R) – Statement No. 141R was issued in December 2007. The revised statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. Statement No. 141R requires prospective application for business combinations consummated in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early application is prohibited.

FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51 (Statement No. 160) – Statement No. 160 was issued in December 2007. The Statement requires that noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries be initially measured at fair value and classified as a separate component of equity. The Statement is effective for fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the impact this Statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (Statement No. 161) – The FASB issued Statement No. 161 in March 2008. This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact this Statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

FASB Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Statement No. 162) – Statement No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement will be effective 60 days after the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411. The impact of this new Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB Statement No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 (Statement No. 163) – Statement No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement also clarifies how Statement No. 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Restructured Loans

Franklin Credit Management relationship

Franklin is a specialty consumer finance company primarily engaged in the servicing and resolution of performing, reperforming, and nonperforming residential mortgage loans. Franklin’s portfolio consists of loans secured by 1-4 family residential real estate that generally fall outside the underwriting standards of the Federal National Mortgage

66

Association (FNMA or Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or Freddie Mac) and involve elevated credit risk as a result of the nature or absence of income documentation, limited credit histories, and higher levels of consumer debt or past credit difficulties. Franklin purchased these loan portfolios at a discount to the unpaid principal balance and originated loans with interest rates and fees calculated to provide a rate of return adjusted to reflect the elevated credit risk inherent in these types of loans. Franklin originated nonprime loans through its wholly owned subsidiary, Tribeca Lending Corp., and has generally held for investment the loans acquired and a significant portion of the loans originated.

Loans to Franklin are funded by a bank group, of which Huntington is the lead bank and largest participant. The loans participated to other banks have no recourse to Huntington. The term debt exposure is secured by over 30,000 individual first- and second-priority lien residential mortgages. In addition, pursuant to an exclusive lockbox arrangement, Huntington receives all payments made to Franklin on these individual mortgages.

The following table details Huntington’s loan relationship with Franklin as of June 30, 2008:

Total book value of loans	$	744,795		$	385,617		$	1,130,412

Included in the allowance for loan and lease losses was an allowance of $115.3 million associated with the Franklin relationship. The adequacy of this reserve is determined using the same allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) methodology for non-Franklin-related loans, including estimates of probability-of-default for each of Franklin’s three portfolios of loans. As such, it is management’s opinion that the Franklin-related allowance was adequate based on our estimate at the end of the quarter of probable losses inherent in that portfolio. However, events currently unforeseen could result in changes to the estimate of probable losses.

The Bank has committed to a plan to reduce its exposure to Franklin to its legal lending limit by September 30, 2008. Management anticipates that it can achieve this plan either by the sale of loans to third parties, or by the transfer of these balances to a subsidiary of the holding company.

On July 30, 2008, The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 was signed into law. This legislation is designed to reduce the growing number of housing foreclosures, assure mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continued access to capital and liquidity and provide tax incentives primarily for homeownership and affordable housing. Huntington has not yet quantified what impact, if any, that the legislation might have on its financial condition or results of operations, including any impact to the allowance for loan losses associated with Franklin.

Other

From time to time, as part of our loss mitigation process, loans may be renegotiated in a troubled debt restructuring when we determine that greater economic value will ultimately be recovered under the new terms than through foreclosure, liquidation or bankruptcy. We may consider the borrower’s payment status and history, borrower’s ability to pay upon a rate reset on an adjustable rate mortgage, size of the payment increase upon a rate reset, period of time remaining prior to the rate reset and other relevant factors in determining whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These restructurings generally occur within the residential mortgage and home equity loan portfolios and are not material in any period presented.

Other securities included Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock, corporate debt, and marketable equity securities.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, gross gains from sales of securities totaled $2.0 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 gross losses totaled less than $0.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, gross gains from sales of securities totaled $6.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively and gross losses totaled less than $0.1 million and $10.0 million, respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, Huntington also recognized an additional $3.1 million and $8.4 million, respectively, of losses relating to securities that were identified as other-than-temporarily impaired. These securities, included in the asset-backed securities portfolio, had a total carrying value of $2.6 million at June 30, 2008.

As of June 30, 2008, Management has evaluated all other investment securities with unrealized losses and all non-marketable securities for impairment. The unrealized losses are the result of wider liquidity spreads on asset backed securities and, additionally, increased market volatility on non-agency mortgage and asset backed securities that are backed by certain mortgage loans. The fair values of these assets have been impacted by various market conditions. Huntington has reviewed its asset backed portfolio with an independent party and does not believe there has been an adverse change in the estimated future cash flows that are expected to be received from these securities. In addition, the expected average lives of the asset backed securities backed by trust preferred securities have extended, due to changes in the expectations of when the underlying securities would be repaid. The contractual terms and/or cash flows of the investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost. Huntington has the intent and ability to hold these investment securities until the fair value is recovered, which may be maturity, and therefore, does not consider them to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2008.

Note 5 – Loan Servicing Rights

Residential Mortgage Loans

For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, Huntington sold $1.2 billion and $410.4 million of residential mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, resulting in a net pre-tax gain of $12.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively. During the first six months of 2008 and 2007, sales of residential mortgage loans with servicing rights retained totaled $1.9 billion and $909.8 million, respectively, resulting in a net pre-tax gain of $16.0 million and 10.8 million, respectively.

A mortgage servicing right (MSR) is established only when the servicing is contractually separated from the underlying mortgage loans by sale or securitization of the loans with servicing rights retained. MSRs are accounted for under the fair value provisions of FASB Statement No. 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.

At initial recognition, the MSR asset is established at its fair value using assumptions that are consistent with assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the total MSR portfolio. Subsequent to initial capitalization, MSR assets are carried at fair value and are included in accrued income and other assets. Any increase or decrease in fair value during the period is recorded as an increase or decrease in mortgage banking income, which is reflected in non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income.

In the second quarter of 2008, Huntington refined its MSR valuation to incorporate market implied forward interest rates to estimate the future direction of mortgage and discount rates. The forward rates utilized are derived from the current yield curve for U.S. dollar interest rate swaps and are consistent with pricing of capital markets instruments. In prior periods, the MSR valuation model assumed that interest rates remained constant over the life of the servicing asset cash flows. The impact of this change was not material to the valuation of the MSR asset.

69

The following table is a summary of the changes in MSR fair value during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
(in thousands)	2008			2007			2008			2007

Fair value, beginning of period	$	191,806		$	134,845		$	207,894		$	131,104
New servicing assets created		16,211			8,990			25,130			17,426
Change in fair value during the period due to:
Time decay ⁽¹⁾		(1,936	)		(1,123	)		(3,601	)		(2,199	)
Payoffs ⁽²⁾		(5,088	)		(3,326	)		(10,337	)		(5,888	)
Changes in valuation inputs or assumptions ⁽³⁾		39,031			16,034			20,938			14,977

Fair value, end of period	$	240,024		$	155,420		$	240,024		$	155,420


⁽¹⁾		Represents decrease in value due to passage of time, including the impact from both regularly scheduled loan principal payments and partial loan paydowns.

⁽²⁾		Represents decrease in value associated with loans that paid off during the period.

⁽³⁾		Represents change in value resulting primarily from market-driven changes in interest rates (see Note 12).

MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of MSRs occur, the precise terms and conditions are typically not readily available. Therefore, the fair value of MSRs is estimated using a discounted future cash flow model. The model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees and assumptions related to prepayments, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenues, costs to service, and other economic factors. Changes in the assumptions used may have a significant impact on the valuation of MSRs.

A summary of key assumptions and the sensitivity of the MSR value at June 30, 2008 to changes in these assumptions follows:


				Decline in fair value
				due to
				10%			20%
				adverse			adverse
(in thousands)	Actual			change			change

Constant pre-payment rate		9.44	%	$	(8,129	)	$	(14,777	)
Spread over forward interest rate swap rates		457			(4,913	)		(9,826	)

MSR values are very sensitive to movements in interest rates as expected future net servicing income depends on the projected outstanding principal balances of the underlying loans, which can be greatly impacted by the level of prepayments. The Company hedges against changes in MSR fair value attributable to changes in interest rates through a combination of derivative instruments and trading securities.

Servicing fees, net of amortization of capitalized servicing assets, included in mortgage banking income amounted to $4.1 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the respective six month periods, the fees were $8.1 million and $5.7 million.

Note 6 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill by line of business as of June 30, 2008, was as follows:


	Regional			Dealer				Treasury/		Huntington
(in thousands)	Banking			Sales		PFCMG		Other		Consolidated

Balance, January 1, 2008	$	2,906,155		$	—	$	87,517	$	65,661	$	3,059,333
Adjustments		(16,175	)		—		—		13,533		(2,642	)

Balance, June 30, 2008	$	2,889,980		$	—	$	87,517	$	79,194	$	3,056,691

The change in goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily related to purchase accounting adjustments of acquired bank branches, operating facilities and other contingent obligations primarily from the Sky

70

Financial acquisition made on July 1, 2007. Huntington does not expect a material amount of goodwill from mergers in 2007 to be deductible for tax purposes.

In accordance with FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Statement No. 142), goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis at October 1^st of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Due to the adverse changes in the business climate in which the Company operates, goodwill impairment tests were performed as of June 30, 2008 relating to the carrying value of goodwill of our reporting units, in accordance with Statement No. 142. The goodwill impairment testing indicated that goodwill was not impaired at June 30, 2008.

At June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, Huntington’s other intangible assets consisted of the following:


	Gross		Accumulated			Net
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Amortization			Carrying Value
June 30, 2008
Core deposit intangible	$	373,300	$	(78,610	)	$	294,690

Note 7 – Shareholders’ Equity

Issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock

On April 22, 2008, Huntington completed the public offering of 500,000 shares of 8.50% Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, resulting in an aggregate liquidation preference of $500 million. In connection with the offering, Huntington granted the underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days after the date of the offering, to purchase, from time to time, in whole or in part, up to an aggregate of 75,000 shares of Preferred Stock to the extent the underwriters sell more than 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock in the offering. On May 1, 2008, the underwriters exercised this option and purchased an additional 69,000 shares of Preferred Stock in the offering.

On May 27, 2008, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock of $19.597 per share. This amount was pro-rated over the initial dividend period as further set forth in the Articles Supplementary classifying the preferred stock. The dividend is payable July 15, 2008, to shareholders of record on July 1, 2008. On July 16, 2008, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Preferred Stock of $21.25 per share. The dividend is payable October 15, 2008, to shareholders of record on October 1, 2008.

Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is non-voting and may be convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into 83.6680 shares of common stock of Huntington, which represents an approximate initial conversion price of $11.95 per share of common stock (for a total of approximately 47.6 million shares at June 30, 2008). The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustments in certain circumstances. On or after April 15, 2013, at the option of Huntington, the Series A Preferred Stock will be subject to mandatory conversion into Huntington’s common stock at the prevailing conversion rate, if the closing price of Huntington’s common stock exceeds 130% of the then applicable conversion price for 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period.

Share Repurchase Program:

On April 20, 2006, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized a new program for the repurchase of up to 15 million shares (the 2006 Repurchase Program). The Company announced its expectation to repurchase the shares from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions depending on market conditions.

Huntington did not repurchase any shares under the 2006 Repurchase Program for the three months ended June 30, 2008. At the end of the period, the remaining 3,850,000 shares may be purchased under the 2006 Repurchase Program.

Note 8 – Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include incremental shares issued for stock options, restricted stock units, distributions from deferred compensation plans, and the conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive. For diluted earnings per share, net income available to common shares can be affected by the conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock. Where the effect of this conversion would be dilutive, net income available to common shareholders is adjusted by the associated preferred dividends. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, was as follows:

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, 39.7 million average dilutive potential common shares associated with the convertible preferred stock issued in April of 2008 were excluded from the dilutive potential common shares because the result would have been antidilutive under the “if-converted” method. Options to purchase 26.4 million shares during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 9.4 million shares during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive. The weighted average exercise price for these options was $20.35 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and $24.60 and $24.61 per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007.

With the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (as described in Note 7), Huntington assumed a diluted conversion impact of approximately 47.6 million additional shares of common stock, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances, including a proration of the impact for the second quarter of 2008. The additional shares impact diluted earnings per share, subject to the antidilution provisions under the “if-converted” method, on a weighted-average basis starting in the second quarter of 2008.

Note 9 – Share-based Compensation

Huntington sponsors nonqualified and incentive share-based compensation plans. These plans provide for the granting of stock options and other awards to officers, directors, and other employees. Stock options are granted at the market price on the date of the grant. Options vest ratably over three years or when other conditions are met. Options granted prior to May 2004 have a maximum term of ten years. All options granted after May 2004 have a maximum term of seven years.

Huntington also grants restricted stock units under the 2004 Stock and Long-Term Incentive Plan. Restricted stock units are issued at no cost to the recipient, and can be settled only in shares at the end of the vesting period, subject to certain service restrictions. The fair value of the restricted stock unit awards was based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

Huntington uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value share-based compensation expense. The estimated fair value of options is amortized over the options’ vesting periods and is recognized in personnel costs in the consolidated statements of income. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical rates and reduce the compensation expense recognized. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Huntington’s stock. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises. The expected dividend yield is based on the dividend rate

73

and stock price on the date of the grant. The following table illustrates the weighted-average assumptions used in the option-pricing model for options granted in each of the periods presented.

Total share-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $3.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, share-based compensation expense was $7.2 million and $7.8 million, respectively. Huntington also recognized $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in tax benefits for each of the three-months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, related to share-based compensation. The tax benefits recognized related to share-based compensation for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $2.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Huntington’s stock option activity and related information for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the amount by which the fair value of underlying stock exceeds the option exercise price. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007, was $4.1 million. There were no exercises of stock options in the first six months of 2008.

Cash received from the exercise of options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $10.7 million and $14.6 million respectively. The estimated tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises totaled $0.9 million and $1.8 million for the same periods.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of nonvested shares granted for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, were $11.99 and $23.62, respectively. The total fair value of awards vested during each of the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0.1 million. As of June 30, 2008, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested awards was $10.8 million with a weighted-average remaining expense recognition period of 1.7 years.

Of the 33.9 million shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the plans at June 30, 2008, 26.4 million were outstanding and 6.5 million were available for future grants. Huntington issues shares to fulfill stock option exercises and restricted stock units from available authorized shares. At June 30, 2008, the Company believes there are adequate authorized shares to satisfy anticipated stock option exercises in 2008.

Note 10 – Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

As discussed in Note 2, “New Accounting Pronouncements”, Huntington adopted fair value accounting standards Statement No. 157 and Statement No. 159 effective January 1, 2008. Huntington elected to apply the provisions of Statement No. 159, the fair value option, for mortgage loans originated with the intent to sell which are included in loans held for sale. Previously, a majority of the mortgage loans held for sale were recorded at fair value under the fair value hedging requirements of Statement No. 133. Application of the fair value option allows for both the mortgage loans held for sale and the related derivatives purchased to hedge interest rate risk to be carried at fair value without the burden of hedge accounting under Statement No. 133. The election was applied to existing mortgage loans held for sale as of January 1, 2008 and is also being applied prospectively to mortgage loans originated for sale. As of the adoption date, the carrying value of the existing loans held for sale was adjusted to fair value through a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. This adjustment represented an increase in value of $2.3 million, or $1.5 million after tax.

The following table summarizes the impact of adopting the fair value accounting standards as of January 1, 2008:


			Net Increase
	As of		to Retained			As of
	January 1, 2008		Earnings			January 1, 2008
(in thousands)	prior to Adoption		upon Adoption			after Adoption

Mortgage loans held for sale	$	420,895	$	2,294		$	423,189
Tax impact				(803	)

Cumulative effect adjustment, net of tax			$	1,491

At June 30, 2008, mortgage loans held for sale had an aggregate fair value of $350.3 million and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $346.3 million. Interest income on these loans is recorded in interest and fees on loans and leases. Included in mortgage banking income were net gains resulting from changes in fair value of these loans, including realized gains and losses of $17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Statement No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Statement No. 157 also establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

75

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Securities

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include US Treasury and other federal agency securities, and money market mutual funds. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include US Government and agency mortgage-backed securities, municipal securities and certain private label CMOs. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Securities classified within Level 3 include asset backed securities, for which Huntington obtains third party pricing. With the current market conditions, the assumptions used to determine the fair value of many Level 3 securities have greater subjectivity due to the lack of observable market transactions.

Certain non-marketable equity securities include stock acquired for regulatory purposes, such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock that are accounted for at cost; and therefore, not subject to the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 157.

Mortgage loans held for sale

Mortgage loans held for sale are estimated using security prices for similar product types; and therefore, are classified in Level 2.

Mortgage servicing rights

MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. For example, sales of MSRs do occur, but the precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. Accordingly, MSRs are classified in Level 3 (See Note 5).

Equity Investments

Equity investments are valued initially based upon transaction price. The carrying values are then adjusted from the transaction price to reflect expected exit values as evidenced by financing and sale transactions with third parties, or when determination of a valuation adjustment is considered necessary based upon a variety of factors including, but not limited to, current operating performance and future expectations of the particular investment, industry valuations of comparable public companies, and changes in market outlook. Due to the absence of quoted market prices and inherent lack of liquidity and the long-term nature of such assets, these equity investments are included in Level 3. Certain equity investments are accounted for under the equity method; and therefore, are not subject to the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 157.

Derivatives

Huntington uses derivatives for a variety of purposes including asset and liability management, mortgage banking, and for trading activities (See Note 12). Level 1 derivatives consist of exchange traded options and forward commitments to deliver mortgage backed securities which have quoted prices. Level 2 derivatives include basic asset and liability conversion swaps and options, and interest rate caps. These derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use readily observable market parameters. Derivatives in Level 3 consist of interest rate lock agreements used for mortgage loan commitments. The valuation includes assumptions related to the likelihood that a commitment will ultimately result in a closed loan, which is a significant unobservable assumption.

Assets and Liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Certain assets and liabilities may be required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis; however, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment.

Periodically, Huntington records nonrecurring adjustments of collateral-dependent loans measured for impairment in accordance with FASB Statement No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” when establishing the allowance for credit losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan. In cases where the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the collateral, an impairment charge is recognized. During the first and second quarter of 2008, Huntington identified $32.4 million and $65.1 million, respectively of impaired loans for which the fair value is recorded based upon collateral value, a Level 3 input in the valuation hierarchy. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, nonrecurring fair value losses of $37.0 million and $51.5 million, respectively were recorded within the provision for credit losses.

Note 11 – Benefit Plans

Huntington sponsors the Huntington Bancshares Retirement Plan (the Plan), a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees. The Plan provides benefits based upon length of service and compensation levels. The funding policy of Huntington is to contribute an annual amount that is at least equal to the minimum funding requirements but not more than that deductible under the Internal Revenue Code.

In addition, Huntington has an unfunded, defined benefit post-retirement plan (Post-Retirement Benefit Plan) that provides certain healthcare and life insurance benefits to retired employees who have attained the age of 55 and have at least 10 years of vesting service under this plan. For any employee retiring on or after January 1, 1993, post-retirement healthcare benefits are based upon the employee’s number of months of service and are limited to the actual cost of coverage. Life insurance benefits are a percentage of the employee’s base salary at the time of retirement, with a maximum of $50,000 of coverage.

On January 1, 2008, Huntington transitioned to fiscal year-end measurement date of plan assets and benefit obligations as required by FASB Statement No. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R (Statement No. 158). As a result, Huntington recognized a charge to beginning retained earnings of $4.2 million, representing the net periodic benefit costs for the last three months of 2007 and a charge to the opening balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss of $3.8 million, representing the change in fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations for the last three months of 2007 (net of amortization included in net periodic benefit cost).

The following table shows the components of net periodic benefit expense of the Plan and the Post-Retirement Benefit Plan:

There is no required minimum contribution for 2008 to the Plan.

Huntington also sponsors other retirement plans, the most significant being the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Retirement Income Plan. These plans are nonqualified plans that provide certain

79

former officers and directors of Huntington and its subsidiaries with defined pension benefits in excess of limits imposed by federal tax law. The cost of providing these plans was $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the respective six-month periods, the cost was $1.7 million and $1.4 million.

Huntington has a defined contribution plan that is available to eligible employees. Huntington matches participant contributions, up to the first 3% of base pay contributed to the plan. Half of the employee contribution is matched on the 4th and 5th percent of base pay contributed to the plan. The cost of providing this plan was $3.8 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the respective six month periods, the cost was $7.7 million and $5.4 million.

These derivative financial instruments were entered into for the purpose of altering the interest rate risk of assets and liabilities. Consequently, net amounts receivable or payable on contracts hedging either interest earning assets or interest bearing liabilities were accrued as an adjustment to either interest income or interest expense. The net amount resulted in an increase/(decrease) to net interest income of $3.0 million and ($0.5 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the impact to net interest income was an increase/(decrease) of $2.1 million and ($0.2 million), respectively.

80

Collateral agreements are regularly entered into as part of the underlying derivative agreements with Huntington’s counterparties to mitigate the credit risk associated with derivatives. At June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, aggregate credit risk associated with these derivatives, net of collateral that has been pledged by the counterparty, was $33.3 million, $31.4 million and $17.2 million, respectively. The credit risk associated with interest rate swaps is calculated after considering master netting agreements.

Derivatives Used in Trading Activities

Various derivative financial instruments are offered to enable customers to meet their financing and investing objectives and for their risk management purposes. Derivative financial instruments used in trading activities consisted predominantly of interest rate swaps, but also included interest rate caps, floors, and futures, as well as foreign exchange options. Interest rate options grant the option holder the right to buy or sell an underlying financial instrument for a predetermined price before the contract expires. Interest rate futures are commitments to either purchase or sell a financial instrument at a future date for a specified price or yield and may be settled in cash or through delivery of the underlying financial instrument. Interest rate caps and floors are option-based contracts that entitle the buyer to receive cash payments based on the difference between a designated reference rate and a strike price, applied to a notional amount. Written options, primarily caps, expose Huntington to market risk but not credit risk. Purchased options contain both credit and market risk. The interest rate risk of these customer derivatives is mitigated by entering into similar derivatives having offsetting terms with other counterparties.

Supplying these derivatives to customers results in non-interest income. These instruments are carried at fair value in other assets with gains and losses reflected in other non-interest income. Total trading revenue for customer accommodation was $8.3 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, total trading revenue for customer accommodation was $20.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively. The total notional value of derivative financial instruments used by Huntington on behalf of customers, including offsetting derivatives was $10.3 billion, $6.4 billion, and $5.2 billion at June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007, respectively. Huntington’s credit risk from interest rate swaps used for trading purposes was $145.4 million, $116.0 million, and $53.3 million at the same dates.

Huntington also uses certain derivative financial instruments to offset changes in value of its residential mortgage servicing assets. These derivatives consist primarily of forward interest rate agreements, and forward mortgage securities. The derivative instruments used are not designated as hedges under Statement No. 133. Accordingly, such derivatives are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in mortgage banking income. The total notional value of these derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2008, was $1.6 billion. The total notional amount corresponds to trading assets with a fair value of $2.5 million and trading liabilities with a fair value of $5.4 million. Total losses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $21.0 million and $12.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, total losses were $36.9 million and $12.8 million, respectively.

In connection with securitization activities, Huntington purchased interest rate caps with a notional value totaling $1.4 billion. These purchased caps were assigned to the securitization trust for the benefit of the security holders. Interest rate caps were also sold totaling $1.4 billion outside the securitization structure. Both the purchased and sold caps are marked to market through income.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Commitments to extend credit:

In the ordinary course of business, Huntington makes various commitments to extend credit that are not reflected in the financial statements. The contract amounts of these financial agreements at June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007, were as follows:


	June 30,		December 31,		June 30,
(in millions)	2008		2007		2007

Contract amount represents credit risk
Commitments to extend credit
Commercial	$	6,233	$	6,756	$	4,602
Consumer		4,896		4,680		3,491
Commercial real estate		2,566		2,565		1,559
Standby letters of credit		1,644		1,549		1,230

Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates, are variable-rate, and contain clauses that permit Huntington to terminate or otherwise renegotiate the contracts in the event of a significant deterioration in the customer’s credit quality. These arrangements normally require the payment of a fee by the customer, the pricing of which is based on prevailing market conditions, credit quality, probability of funding, and other relevant factors. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the contract amounts are not necessarily indicative of future cash requirements. The interest rate risk arising from these financial instruments is insignificant as a result of their predominantly short-term, variable-rate nature.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Most of these arrangements mature within two years. The carrying amount of deferred revenue associated with these guarantees was $4.3 million, $4.6 million, and $3.8 million at June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007, respectively.

Commercial letters of credit represent short-term, self-liquidating instruments that facilitate customer trade transactions and generally have maturities of no longer than 90 days. The merchandise or cargo being traded normally secures these instruments.

Commitments to sell loans:

Huntington enters into forward contracts relating to its mortgage banking business to hedge the exposures from commitments to make new residential mortgage loans with existing customers and from mortgage loans classified as held for sale . At June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007, Huntington had commitments to sell residential real estate loans of $577.0 million, $555.9 million, and $484.5 million, respectively. These contracts mature in less than one year.

Litigation

Between December 19, 2007 and February 1, 2008, three putative class actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, against Huntington and certain of its current or former officers and directors purportedly on behalf of purchasers of Huntington securities during the periods July 20, 2007 to November 16, 2007 or July 20, 2007 to January 10, 2008. These complaints seek to allege that the defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act by issuing a series of allegedly false and/or misleading statements concerning Huntington’s financial results, prospects, and condition, relating, in particular, to its transactions with Franklin Credit Management (Franklin). On June 5, 2008, two cases were consolidated into a single action. At this early stage, it is not possible for management to assess the probability of an adverse outcome, or reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss. A third putative class action lawsuit was filed in the same court on January 18, 2008, with substantially the same allegations, but was dismissed on March 4, 2008.

Three putative derivative class action lawsuits were filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County, Ohio, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, and the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio, between January 16, 2008, and April 17, 2008, against certain of Huntington’s current or former officers and directors variously seeking to allege breaches of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and unjust enrichment, all in connection with Huntington’s acquisition of Sky Financial, certain transactions between Huntington and Franklin, and the financial disclosures relating to such transactions. Huntington is named as a nominal defendant in each of these actions. At this early stage of the lawsuits, it is not possible for management to assess the probability of an adverse outcome, or reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss.

Between February 20, 2008 and February 29, 2008, three putative class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, against Huntington, the Huntington Bancshares Incorporated Pension Review Committee, the Huntington Investment and Tax Savings Plan (the Plan) Administrative Committee, and certain of the Company’s officers and directors purportedly on behalf of participants in or beneficiaries of the Plan between either July 1, 2007 or July 20, 2007 and the present. The complaints seek to allege breaches of fiduciary duties in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) relating to Huntington stock being offered as an investment alternative for participants in the Plan. The complaints sought money damages and equitable relief. On May 13, 2008, the three cases were consolidated into a single action. At this early stage, it is not possible for management to assess the probability of a material adverse outcome, or reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss.

On May 7, 2008, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, against Huntington (as successor in interest to Sky Financial), and certain of Sky Financial’s former officers on behalf of all persons who purchased or acquired Sky Financial common stock in connection with and as a result of Sky Financial’s October 2006 acquisition of Waterfield Mortgage Company. The complaint seeks to allege that the defendants violated Sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the issuance of allegedly false and misleading registration and proxy statements leading up to the Waterfield acquisition and their disclosures about the nature and extent of Sky Financial’s lending relationship with Franklin. At this early stage of this lawsuit, it is not possible for management to assess the probability of an adverse outcome, or reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss.

It is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the results of operations for a particular period. However, although no assurance can be given, based on information currently available, consultation with counsel, and available insurance coverage, management believes that the eventual outcome of these claims against us will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Huntington’s consolidated financial position.

Note 14 – Segment Reporting

Huntington has three distinct lines of business: Regional Banking, Dealer Sales, and the Private Financial and Capital Markets Group (PFCMG). A fourth segment includes the Treasury function and other unallocated assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense. Lines of business results are determined based upon the Company’s management reporting system, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the business segments. The process is designed around the Company’s organizational and management structure and, accordingly, the results derived are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions. An overview of this system is provided below, along with a description of each segment and discussion of financial results.

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

Regional Banking: This segment provides traditional banking products and services to consumer, small business, and, commercial customers located in 13 operating regions within the six states of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky. It provides these services through a banking network of over 600 branches, almost 1,400 ATMs, along with Internet and telephone banking channels. It also provides certain services outside of these six states, including mortgage banking and equipment leasing. Each region serves both retail and commercial customers. Retail products and services include home equity loans and lines of credit, first mortgage loans, direct installment loans, small business loans, personal and business deposit products, as well as sales of investment and insurance services. At June 30, 2008, Retail Banking accounts for 52% and 80% of total Regional Banking loans and deposits, respectively. Commercial Banking serves middle market commercial banking relationships, which use a variety of banking products and services including, but not limited to, commercial loans, international trade, cash management, leasing, interest rate protection products, capital market alternatives, 401(k) plans, and mezzanine investment capabilities.

Dealer Sales: This segment provides a variety of banking products and services to more than 3,700 automotive dealerships within the Company’s primary banking markets, as well as in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee and Texas. Dealer Sales finances the purchase of automobiles by customers at the automotive dealerships, purchases automobiles from dealers and simultaneously leases the automobiles to consumers under long-term leases, finances the dealerships’ new and used vehicle inventories, land, buildings, and other real estate owned by the dealership, and their working capital needs; and provides other banking services to the automotive dealerships and their owners. Competition from the financing divisions of automobile manufacturers and from other financial institutions is intense. Dealer Sales’ production opportunities are directly impacted by the general automotive sales business, including programs initiated by manufacturers to enhance and increase sales directly. Huntington has been in this line of business for over 50 years.

Private Financial and Capital Markets Group (PFCMG): This segment provides products and services designed to meet the needs of higher net worth customers. Revenue is derived through the sale of trust, asset management, investment advisory, brokerage, and private banking products and services. PFCMG also focuses on financial solutions for corporate and institutional customers that include investment banking, sales and trading of securities, mezzanine capital financing, and interstate risk management products. To serve high net worth customers, a unique distribution model is used that employs a single, unified sales force to deliver products and services mainly through Regional Banking distribution channels.

Treasury / Other: This segment includes revenue and expense related to assets, liabilities, and equity that are not directly assigned or allocated to one of the other three business segments. Assets in this segment include Huntington’s insurance agency business, investment securities and bank owned life insurance. The net interest income/(expense) of this segment includes the net impact of administering our investment securities portfolios as part of overall liquidity management. A match-funded transfer pricing system is used to attribute appropriate funding interest income and interest expense to other business segments. As such, net interest income includes the net impact of any over or under allocations arising from centralized management of interest rate risk. Furthermore, net interest income includes the net impact of derivatives used to hedge interest rate sensitivity. Non-interest income includes miscellaneous fee income not allocated to other business segments, including bank owned life insurance income, insurance revenue, and any investment securities and trading assets gains or losses. The non-interest expense includes certain corporate administrative, merger and other miscellaneous expenses not allocated to other business segments. The provision for income taxes for the other business segments is calculated at a statutory 35% tax rate, though our overall effective tax rate is lower. As a result, Treasury/Other reflects a credit for income taxes representing the difference between the lower actual effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate used to allocate income taxes to the other segments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures for the current period can be found in the Market Risk section of this report, which includes changes in market risk exposures from disclosures presented in Huntington’s 2007 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Huntington maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Huntington’s Management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of Huntington’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 upon such evaluation, Huntington’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, Huntington’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have not been any changes in Huntington’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, Huntington’s internal control over financial reporting.
