See notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements. 5 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements 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 interim periods presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Huntington's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with these interim financial statements. B. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1998 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income. C. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity include a new measure called "Comprehensive Income". Comprehensive Income includes net income as well as certain items that are reported directly within a separate component of stockholders' equity that bypass net income. Currently, Huntington's only component of Other Comprehensive Income is the unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale. The related before and after tax amounts are as follows:

6 In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". The provisions of this Statement require disclosure of financial and descriptive information about an enterprise's operating segments. The Statement defines an operating segment as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities that generate revenue and incur expense. A segment is further defined as a component whose operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in the determination of resource allocation and performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997; however, it is not required to be applied for interim reporting in the initial year of application. Accordingly, no segment information is included in the notes to these unaudited consolidated financial statements. In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows gains and losses from derivatives to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions for which hedge accounting is applied. Statement No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. It may be implemented earlier provided adoption occurs as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after issuance. Statement 133 cannot be applied retroactively. This Statement must be applied to (a) all free-standing derivative instruments and (b) certain derivative instruments embedded in hybrid contracts that were issued, acquired, or substantively modified after December 31, 1997. Huntington has not yet quantified the impact of adopting Statement No. 133. Based on information available at this time, Huntington does not expect it to be material to the consolidated financial statements. D. Acquisitions On June 26, 1998, Huntington completed the acquisition of sixty former Barnett Banks banking offices in Florida from NationsBank Corporation. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair value. The purchase added approximately $1.3 billion in loans and $2.3 billion in deposits. Intangible assets arising from the deal totaled approximately $454.2 million. The acquired branches' results of operations have been included in Huntington's consolidated totals from the date of the acquisition only. 7 On September 30, 1997, Huntington completed the acquisition of First Michigan Bank Corporation (First Michigan), a $3.7 billion bank holding company headquartered in Holland, Michigan. Huntington issued approximately 32.2 million shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of First Michigan. First Michigan had total loans and deposits of $2.7 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively, and total equity of $286 million at the date of acquisition. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests; accordingly, all financial information appearing in this report, except dividends per share, has been restated to include the results of First Michigan. E. Trust Preferred Securities In January 1997, Huntington Capital I ("the Trust"), a Delaware statutory business trust owned by Huntington, issued $200 million of company obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities. The proceeds from the issuance of the capital securities ($200 million) and common securities ($6.2 million) were used by the Trust to purchase from Huntington $206.2 million of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debentures. In June 1998, an additional $100 million of company obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities were issued by Huntington Capital II ("the Series B Trust"), a statutory business trust also owned by Huntington. The proceeds were used by the Series B Trust to purchase from Huntington $103.1 million of Series B Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debentures. The subordinated debentures are the sole assets of each trust and Huntington owns all of the common securities of the trusts. Interest payments made on the capital securities are reported as a component of interest expense on long-term debt. The capital securities bear interest and mature as follows:
Variable Interest Rate Maturity Date ----------------- ------------- Huntington Capital I LIBOR + .70% February 1, 2027 Huntington Capital II LIBOR + .625% June 15, 2028
The net proceeds received by Huntington from the sale of the capital securities were used for general corporate purposes. 8 F. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is the amount of earnings for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period adjusted for the potential issuance of common shares for stock options and the conversion impact of convertible equity instruments. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for each of the periods ended September 30, is as follows:
(In thousands, except THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED per share amounts) SEPTEMBER 30 SEPTEMBER 30 --------------------- --------------------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 -------- -------- -------- -------- Net Income $ 88,755 $ 41,232 $270,550 $202,014 ======== ======== ======== ======== Average common shares outstanding 211,714 210,370 211,565 209,618 Dilutive effect of stock options 1,782 1,686 2,126 2,452 -------- -------- -------- -------- Diluted common shares outstanding 213,496 213,056 213,691 212,070 ======== ======== ======== ======== Earnings per share Basic $ .42 $ .20 $ 1.28 $ .96 Diluted $ .42 $ .19 $ 1.27 $ .95
Average common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of stock options have been adjusted for subsequent stock dividends and stock splits, as applicable. 9 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINANCIAL REVIEW

N.M. - Not meaningful. 11 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations INTRODUCTION Forward-Looking Statements - -------------------------- Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 to encourage corporations to provide investors with information about the company's anticipated future financial performance, goals, and strategies. The act provides a safe harbor for such disclosure, or in other words, protection from unwarranted litigation if actual results are not the same as management's expectations. Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington) desires to provide its shareholders with sound information about past performance and future trends. Consequently, this Quarterly Report, including Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements including certain plans, expectations, goals, and projections (including without limitation those relating to Huntington's Year 2000 readiness) that are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in or implied by Huntington's statements due to a variety of factors including: changes in economic conditions; movements in interest rates; competitive pressures on product pricing and services; success and timing of business strategies; the successful integration of acquired businesses; the nature and extent of governmental actions and reforms; and extended disruption of vital infrastructure. The management of Huntington encourages readers of this report to understand forward-looking statements to be strategic objectives rather than absolute targets of future performance. Florida Branch Purchase - ----------------------- On June 26, 1998, Huntington completed the acquisition of sixty former Barnett Banks banking offices in Florida from NationsBank Corporation (the Branch Purchase). The transaction was accounted for as a purchase; accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair value. The Branch Purchase added approximately $1.3 billion in loans and $2.3 billion in deposits. Intangible assets arising from the deal totaled approximately $454.2 million. The acquired branches' results of operations have been included in Huntington's consolidated totals from the date of the acquisition only. OVERVIEW Net income was $88.8 million for the third quarter of 1998, or $.42 per diluted share, versus $41.2 million, or $.19 per diluted share, in the same period last year. For the nine months just ended, net income and diluted earnings per share were $270.6 million and $1.27, respectively, compared with $202.0 million and $.95 one year ago. On an operating basis, defined as earnings before merger-related charges, net income was up 1.5% and 9.0%, respectively, over the same periods in 1997 while diluted earnings per share improved 2.4% in the recent quarter and 8.5% year-to-date. The balance of 12 Management's Discussion and Analysis refers to Huntington's results on an operating basis. The following table presents Huntington's return on average equity (ROE) and return on average assets (ROA) on both a reported and cash basis.

* Tangible or "Cash Basis" results exclude from earnings amortization of goodwill and other intangibles. Related asset amounts are also excluded from total assets and shareholders' equity. Total assets were $27.4 billion at the recent quarter end, compared with $26.7 billion at December 31, 1997, and $25.6 billion one year ago. Total assets grew only 2.6% since year end despite completion of the Branch Purchase, as a result of Huntington's strategic repositioning of the balance sheet that commenced in the second quarter of 1998. These initiatives included the sale of $3.4 billion of securities available for sale, the exit of out-of-market credit card operations through the sale of approximately $90 million of loans outstanding, and the closure of the Pittsburgh indirect loan production office. Huntington also reactivated its share repurchase program and is negotiating a sale/leaseback agreement related to approximately $180 million of its real estate properties. After adjusting for the impact of the Branch Purchase and loan sales/securitizations, average total loans outstanding were up 3.3% in the recent quarter and 4.3% in the first nine months of the year versus the same periods one year ago. Commercial and retail loan growth remained firm; however, mortgage refinancing activity coupled with the impact of the General Motors strike on automobile dealer floor plan lending softened overall loan growth. Average core deposits, adjusted for the Branch Purchase, increased 2.1% for the quarter and 4.0% year-to-date, with transaction accounts up approximately 12% in both periods. LINES OF BUSINESS Huntington segments its operations into five distinct lines of business: Retail Banking; Corporate Banking; Dealer Sales; Private Financial Group; and Treasury/Other. Line of business results are determined based upon Huntington's business profitability reporting system, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the business segments. The process is designed around Huntington's organizational and management structure, and accordingly, the results are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions. Results are revised to reflect enhancements to Huntington's profitability reporting system and changes in 13 organizational structure. For a detailed description of the lines of business, please refer to Huntington's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The following summary contains selected financial information by business segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 (in thousands of dollars):

* Reported on a fully taxable equivalent basis, assuming a 35% tax rate. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Interest Income - ------------------- Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, was $251.5 million and $753.8 million, respectively, down modestly (approximately 2%) when compared with the same periods last year. The decline is primarily due to the drop in earning asset yields, as the highly competitive marketplace continues to erode loan margins across much of the banking industry. The net interest margin, on a fully tax equivalent basis, was 4.18% during the three months just ended compared with 4.41% in the third quarter of 1997. On a year-to-date basis, the net interest margin was 4.24% versus 4.43% for the first nine months of last year. Interest rate swaps and other off-balance sheet financial instruments used for asset/liability management purposes 14 provided a benefit of $4.0 million in the recent quarter and $12.2 million on a year-to-date basis, up from $1.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in the same periods one year ago. Management expects margin pressures to continue in the ensuing quarters, which could depress future growth in net interest income. Provision For Loan Losses - ------------------------- The provision for loan losses was $24.2 million in the third quarter of 1998. Excluding the $4.8 million additional provision taken last year in connection with the First Michigan acquisition, the recent quarter's provision was roughly flat with the same period of 1997. For the first nine months of the year, the provision was $70.9 million, compared with $76.8 million (adjusted for the one-time merger provision) one year ago. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans were .52% for the recent quarter and .48% for the nine months, versus .41% and .46% for the same periods last year. Non-Interest Income - ------------------- Non-Interest income, excluding securities gains, was $104.0 million and $301.7 million, respectively, in the recent three and nine month periods. Particularly strong growth was seen in electronic banking revenue, up 32.4% from the year-ago quarter. Nearly eight percent of Huntington's deposit customer base now has an account with Huntington's Web Bank, with a goal of 10% by year-end 1999. Insurance and brokerage income was up 32.1% from the same quarter a year ago, in part the result of a Huntington initiative to have at least one employee licensed to sell investment products in each of its banking offices. Off-balance sheet managed assets, namely insurance in force, trust assets, proprietary mutual funds, and mortgage loans serviced totaled $21.2 billion at September 30, 1998, and continue to grow at an annualized rate of 24.9%. Income from Bank Owned Life Insurance was $8.1 million and $20.6 million, respectively, in the recent quarter and first nine months of the year. Huntington owned no such policies in the comparable periods of 1997. Adjusted for one-time gains last year from portfolio sales of residential real estate loans, mortgage banking income increased 11.7% and 35.9%, respectively in the recent three and nine months compared with the same periods of 1997. Non-Interest Expense - -------------------- Non-Interest expense, excluding merger-related charges, totaled $211.9 million in the third quarter and $615.0 million for the first nine months of 1998, up from $193.7 million and $563.4 million in the same periods one year ago. The expense growth is attributable to increased volumes from fee-based businesses, higher telecommunication costs resulting from continued expansion of Huntington's ATM network, contract programming for Year 2000 upgrades, costs of systems conversions, and the impact of the Branch Purchase. Non-Interest expenses in the third quarter of 1997 included various one-time merger-related costs of $51.2 million, consisting primarily of personnel, facilities, and systems costs, as well as professional fees and other costs to effect the merger with First Michigan. Huntington believes it is well positioned to realize significant efficiencies in the future given its movement to a common operating platform, the merger of its subsidiary banks into a single interstate charter, the completion of two significant acquisitions, and a 15 substantial reduction in the number of its operations and processing centers. The company recently announced several additional strategic actions that are expected to enhance profitability, including its plans to close or sell approximately 39 banking offices and outsource certain back-office functions such as customer retail lockbox and employee benefit administration. Once fully implemented, these strategic actions are expected to add approximately $125 million in sustainable annual pre-tax profit improvements. In connection with the initiatives, Huntington plans to eliminate approximately 1,000 positions, or roughly 10% of its work force, within the next six to nine months. In the fourth quarter of 1998, Huntington expects to record a restructuring charge of approximately $90 million, pre-tax, to cover employee transition costs, banking office and ATM closures, and other costs related to these strategic actions. YEAR 2000 The Year 2000 problem is the result of many existing computer programs using only the last two-digits, as opposed to four digits, to indicate the year. Such computer systems may be unable to recognize a year that begins with "20" instead of "19". If not corrected, many computer programs could cause a systems failure or other computer errors, leading to possible disruptions in operations or creation of erroneous results. Huntington, in an enterprise-wide effort, is taking steps to ensure that its internal systems are secure from such failure and that its current products will perform. A Year 2000 Plan (the Plan) for the entire organization addresses all systems, software, hardware, and infrastructure components. In addition, business processes are being assessed and validated throughout the company. The Plan identifies and addresses "Mission Critical" and "Non-mission Critical" components for Information Technology (IT) systems, Non-information Technology (Non-IT) systems, and business processes. IT includes, for example, systems that service loan and deposit customers. Non-IT systems include, among other things, security systems, elevators, utilities, and voice/data communications. An application, system, or process is Mission Critical if it is vital to the successful continuance of a core business activity. Huntington's progress towards meeting the Plan's goals for both IT and Non-IT systems, which follows a five phase approach recommended by federal bank regulators, is as follows:

16 Huntington depends on various third-party vendors, suppliers, and service providers. The activities undertaken by these third parties can vary from processing and settlement of automated teller transactions to mortgage loan processing. Huntington will be dependent on the continued service by its vendors, suppliers, service providers, and ultimately its customers' continued operations in order to avoid business interruptions. Any interruption in a third party's ability to provide goods and services--such as issues with telecommunication links, power, and transportation--could present problems. Huntington has identified approximately ten material third-party relationships with a focus on those considered "Mission Critical". Huntington is presently working with each of these parties to test transactions and/or interfaces between its processors, obtain appropriate information from each party, and assess each party's ability to be prepared for the Year 2000. Over forty full-time staff members are dedicated to the Year 2000 effort and, on a part-time basis, multitudes of internal personnel from various disciplines throughout the Huntington organization are also working on this project. Furthermore, Huntington has engaged an independent consultant to establish a Year 2000 Program Management Office (PMO). This PMO organizes Huntington's Year 2000 project management activities beyond the technical information services group into all business units. This PMO creates the methodology that is used in every business unit and also brings a quality assurance process that reviews the thoroughness of the actions taken to remedy the Year 2000 problem. Identifiable costs for the Year 2000 project incurred for the three month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998, were $4.4 million and $8.9 million, respectively. Management estimates it will cost an additional $20 million to bring its systems and business processes into compliance. However, these expenses are not expected to materially impact operating results in any one period. These estimated costs incorporate not only incremental third-party expenses but also include salary and benefit costs of employees redeployed and full implementation of a call center to handle increased customer inquiries before and after January 1, 2000. Major business risks associated with the Year 2000 problem include, but are not limited to, infrastructure failures, disruptions to the economy in general, excessive cash withdrawal activity, closure of government offices, foreign banks, and clearing houses, and increased problem loans and credit losses in the event that borrowers fail to properly respond to the problem. These risks, along with the risk of Huntington failing to adequately complete the remaining phases of its project work and the resulting possible inability to properly process core business transactions and meet contractual servicing agreements, could expose Huntington to loss of revenues, litigation, and asset quality deterioration. The Year 2000 problem is unique in that it has never previously occurred, thus, it is not possible to completely foresee or quantify the overall or any specific financial or operational impacts to Huntington or to third parties which provide Mission Critical services to Huntington. Huntington has, however, implemented several proactive processes to identify and mitigate risk involving systems and processes over which it has control, including strengthening its Business Resumption Plan for the Year 2000 by adding alternatives for systems and networks in support of critical applications. The modifications to Huntington's contingency plan are now complete and have been tested and validated for all core business processes. Huntington's senior management presently believe that successful modifications to existing systems and conversions to new systems will substantially reduce the risk of Year 2000 disruption. INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT Huntington seeks to achieve consistent growth in net interest income and net income while managing volatility arising from shifts in interest rates. The Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) oversees financial risk management, 17 establishing broad policies and specific operating limits that govern a variety of financial risks inherent in Huntington's operations, including interest rate, liquidity, counterparty settlement, and market risks. On and off-balance sheet strategies and tactics are reviewed and monitored regularly by ALCO to ensure consistency with approved risk tolerances. Interest rate risk management is a dynamic process, encompassing the business flows onto the balance sheet, wholesale investment and funding, and the changing market and business environment. Effective management of interest rate risk begins with appropriately diversified investments and funding sources. To accomplish its overall balance sheet objectives, Huntington regularly accesses a variety of global markets--money, bond, and futures and options--as well as numerous trading exchanges. In addition, dealers in over-the-counter financial instruments provide availability of interest rate swaps as needed. Measurement and monitoring of interest rate risk is an ongoing process. A key element in this process is Huntington's estimation of the amount that net interest income will change over a twelve to twenty-four month period given a directional shift in interest rates. The income simulation model used by Huntington captures all assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet financial instruments, accounting for significant variables that are believed to be affected by interest rates. These include prepayment speeds on mortgages and consumer installment loans, cash flows of loans and deposits, principal amortization on revolving credit instruments, and balance sheet growth assumptions. The model also captures embedded options, for example, interest rate caps, floors, or call options, and accounts for changes in rate relationships, as various rate indices lead or lag changes in market rates. Management believes the model provides a reasonably accurate estimate of Huntington's interest rate risk exposure at any point in time, even though these assumptions are inherently uncertain. This information is regularly shared with the Board of Directors. At September 30, 1998, the results of Huntington's interest sensitivity analysis indicated that net interest income would change by less than 1% given a 100 basis point increase or a 100-200 basis point decrease in the federal funds rate (assuming the change occurs evenly over the next year and that corresponding changes in other market rates occur as forecasted). If interest rates rose 200 basis points, net interest income would be expected to decrease by 2%. Active interest rate risk management necessitates the use of various types of off-balance sheet financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps. Risk created by different indices on products, by unequal terms to maturity of assets and liabilities, and by products that are appealing to customers but incompatible with current risk limits can be eliminated or decreased in a cost efficient manner by utilizing interest rate swaps. Often, the swap strategy has enabled Huntington to lower the overall cost of raising wholesale funds. Similarly, financial futures, interest rate caps and floors, options, and forward rate agreements are used to control financial risk effectively. Off-balance sheet instruments perform identically to similar cash instruments but are often preferable because they require less capital while preserving access to the marketplace. The following table illustrates the approximate market values, estimated maturities, and weighted average rates of the interest rate swaps used by Huntington in its interest rate risk management program at September 30, 1998. 18
Average Average Rate Notional Maturity Market ----------------- (Dollars in millions) Value (years) Value Receive Pay -------- -------- ------ ------- ----- ASSET CONVERSION SWAPS Received fixed $ 975 1.18 $10.2 6.24% 5.65% ====== ===== LIABILITY CONVERSION SWAPS Receive fixed $1,895 3.44 $62.1 6.30% 5.70% Receive fixed-amortizing 163 1.15 0.8 5.63 5.59 Pay fixed 850 2.27 (9.9) 5.66 5.43 ------ ----- TOTAL LIABILITY CONVERSION SWAPS $2,908 2.96 $53.0 6.07% 5.61% ====== ===== BASIS PROTECTION SWAPS $ 685 0.55 $(0.5) 5.48% 5.75% ====== =====
As is the case with cash securities, the market value of interest rate swaps is largely a function of the financial market's expectations regarding the future direction of interest rates. Accordingly, current market values are not necessarily indicative of the future impact of the swaps on net interest income. This will depend, in large part, on the shape of the yield curve as well as interest rate levels. Management made no assumptions regarding future changes in interest rates with respect to the variable rate information and the indexed amortizing swap maturities presented in the table above. The pay rates on Huntington's receive-fixed swaps vary based on movements in the applicable London interbank offered rate (LIBOR). Asset conversion swaps and liability conversion swaps with notional values of $700 million and $950 million, respectively, have embedded written LIBOR-based call options. The portfolio of amortizing swaps consists primarily of contracts that are indexed to the prepayment experience of a specified pool of mortgage loans. As market interest rates change, the amortization of the notional value of the swap will also change, generally slowing as rates increase and accelerating when rates fall. Basis swaps are contracts that provide for both parties to receive interest payments according to different rate indices and are used to protect against changes in spreads between market rates. The receive and pay amounts applicable to Huntington's basis swaps are based predominantly on LIBOR. The contractual interest payments are based on the notional values of the swap portfolio. These notional values do not represent direct credit exposures. At September 30, 1998, Huntington's credit risk from interest rate swaps used for asset/liability management purposes was $128.7 million, which represents the sum of the aggregate fair value of positions that have become favorable to Huntington, including any accrued interest receivable due from counterparties. In order to minimize the risk that a swap counterparty will not satisfy its interest payment obligation under the terms of the contract, Huntington performs credit reviews on all counterparties, restricts the number of counterparties used to a select group of high quality institutions, obtains collateral, and enters into formal netting arrangements. Huntington has never experienced any past due amounts from a swap counterparty. 19 The total notional amount of off-balance sheet instruments used by Huntington on behalf of customers (for which the related interest rate risk is offset by third party contracts) was $423 million at September 30, 1998. Total credit exposure from such contracts is not material. These separate activities, which are accounted for at fair value, are not a significant part of Huntington's operations. Accordingly, they have been excluded from the above discussion of off-balance sheet financial instruments and the related table. CREDIT RISK Huntington's exposure to credit risk is managed through the use of consistent underwriting standards that emphasize "in-market" lending to established borrowers. Highly leveraged transactions as well as excessive industry and other concentrations are avoided. The credit administration function also employs extensive monitoring procedures to ensure problem loans are promptly identified and that loans adhere to corporate policy. These procedures provide executive management with the information necessary to implement appropriate change and take corrective action as needed. Huntington continues to compare favorably with its peers in terms of asset quality. Non-performing assets, consisting of loans that are no longer accruing interest, loans that have been renegotiated based upon financial difficulties of the borrower, and real estate acquired through foreclosure, totaled $95.8 million at September 30, 1998. Non-performing loans represented .39% of total loans, and non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans and other real estate were only .50%, as of this same date. Loans past due ninety days or more but continuing to accrue interest, including consumer and residential real estate credits were $64.0 million at September 30, 1998. The allowance for loan losses (ALL) was $286.1 million at September 30, 1998, and is maintained at a level considered appropriate by management, based on its estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The procedures employed by Huntington to evaluate the adequacy of the ALL include an analysis of specific credits that are generally selected for review on the basis of size and relative risk, portfolio trends, current and historic loss experience, prevailing economic conditions, and other relevant factors. During the third quarter, Huntington maintained its reserve ratio at 1.50% compared with 1.46% one year ago. At September 30, 1998, the ALL covered non-performing loans 3.8 times. When the ALL is combined with the allowance for other real estate owned, the reserves were nearly three times total non-performing assets. CAPITAL Huntington places significant emphasis on the maintenance of strong capital, which promotes investor confidence, provides access to the national markets under favorable terms, and enhances business growth and acquisition opportunities. Huntington also recognizes the importance of managing capital and continually strives to maintain an appropriate balance between capital adequacy and returns to shareholders. Capital is managed at each subsidiary based upon the respective risks and growth opportunities, as well as regulatory requirements. Shareholders' equity at September 30, 1998, was $2.2 billion versus $1.9 billion one year ago. Huntington's ratio of average equity to average assets was 7.79% in the 20 recent quarter compared with 7.67% in the same three months of last year. For the nine-months just ended, the ratio was 7.86%, up from 7.45% in the same period of 1997. Risk-based capital guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Board set minimum capital requirements and require institutions to calculate risk-based capital ratios by assigning risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet items, such as interest rate swaps and loan commitments. These guidelines further define "well-capitalized" levels for Tier 1, Total Capital and Leverage ratio purposes at 6%, 10%, and 5%, respectively. At the recent quarter-end, Huntington's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 7.37%, its total risk-based capital ratio was 11.19%, and its leverage ratio was 6.52%, each of which exceeds the "well-capitalized" requirements. Huntington's two bank subsidiaries also had regulatory capital ratios in excess of the levels established for "well-capitalized" institutions. On September 14, 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the reactivation of Huntington's common stock repurchase program, which was previously suspended in May 1997 due to the First Michigan pooling-of-interests merger transaction. In connection with the reinstatement of the program, the Board of Directors also increased the number of shares authorized for repurchase to 15 million, up from approximately 3 million shares remaining when the plan was suspended. The shares will be purchased through open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions. Repurchased shares will be reserved for reissue in connection with Huntington's dividend reinvestment, stock option, and other benefit plans as well as for stock dividends and other corporate purposes. In September 1998, Huntington repurchased approximately 315,000 shares. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk There have been no material changes in market risk exposures that affect the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented in the Huntington's Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
