                         Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors
Huntington Bancshares Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the
Huntington Bancshares Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan and Trust for
Huntington Bancshares Incorporated Directors (the "Plan") as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the related statements of income and changes in plan equity
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Huntington Bancshares
Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan and Trust for Huntington Bancshares
Incorporated Directors at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its
operations and the changes in its plan equity for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Note 1 - Summary of Accounting Policies

Description of the Plan

The Huntington Bancshares Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan and Trust for
Huntington Bancshares Incorporated Directors (the "Plan") was adopted by the
Board of Directors of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated ("Huntington") on April
25, 1991, to be effective on that date.

The Plan is in the form of a trust agreement between Huntington and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, The Huntington Trust Company, National Association (the
"Trustee"). The Plan was adopted to provide any Director of Huntington with the
option to defer receipt of all or a portion of the compensation payable to him
or her for services as a Director. Huntington transfers the amount of the
compensation deferred by a Director pursuant to the Plan to a trust fund
administered by the Trustee.

Amounts held in the trust fund may be invested by the Trustee in common stock,
common trust funds, real estate, and other property which the Trustee deems to
be in the best interest of the participating Directors. The Trustee maintains a
separate account for each Director which reflects such Director's share of
assets held in his or her account in the Plan.

The Plan is administered by a committee of the Huntington Board of Directors
(the "Committee") consisting of not less than three members. As of the date
hereof, the members of the Committee are John B. Gerlach, Timothy P. Smucker,
Marvin E. White, and Don Conrad. The members of the Committee are appointed by
the Board of Directors of Huntington (the "Board") and serve until they resign
or until they are removed with or without cause by the Board. None of the
members of the Committee receives compensation from the assets of the Plan.

Distributions are made either in a lump sum or in equal annual installments over
a period of not more than ten years. The Committee has sole discretion to
distribute all or a portion of a Director's account in the event such Director
requests a hardship distribution.

Huntington may amend or terminate the Plan at any time provided that no such
amendment or termination will affect the rights of Directors to amounts
previously credited to their accounts.


                                       6
<PAGE>   7

Investments

The Trustee may, at its discretion, invest contributed amounts in common stock,
common trust funds, real estate, and other classes of property. As of December
31, 1994, Plan assets were primarily invested in shares of common stock of
Huntington ("Common Stock"). These shares are carried at market value as
determined by quoted prices reported by the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation System.

Income and Expenses

Cash dividends are recognized as of the record date. All costs and expenses
incurred in administering the Plan, including brokerage commissions and fees
incurred in connection with the purchase of securities, are paid by Huntington
and participating affiliates. Expenses incurred in administering the Plan
totaled $3,860, $3,405, and $2,092 for 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.

Note 2 - Federal Income Taxes

It is intended that the Plan be an unfunded deferred compensation plan under the
Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, a Director will not incur federal income tax
liability when compensation is deferred pursuant to the Plan, when Common Stock
is purchased for a Director's account, or when dividends are paid to a
Director's account on such shares. Rather, a Director will incur federal income
tax liability for such contributions and income only when distributions are made
to a Director.

Huntington is subject to any federal income taxes arising from taxable income of
the Plan. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is included in the
financial statements of the Plan. If, at any time, it is determined that
compensation deferred pursuant to the Plan is currently subject to income tax by
the Directors or their beneficiaries, the Plan shall terminate and any amounts
held in the trust fund shall be distributed to the Directors or their
beneficiaries.

The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and
is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974.
