[ERNST & YOUNG LLP LETTEREAD]

                        Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors
Huntington Bancshares Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the 
Huntington Supplemental Stock Purchase and Tax Savings Plan and Trust (the 
"Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of 
income and changes in plan equity for each of the three years in the period 
ended December 31, 1995.  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 Supplemental 
Stock Purchase and Tax Savings Plan and Trust at December 31, 1995 and 1994, 
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, 1995,  in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

                  HUNTINGTON SUPPLEMENTAL STOCK PURCHASE AND 
                         TAX SAVINGS PLAN AND TRUST

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                              December 31, 1995


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

Huntington Bancshares Incorporated ("Huntington") adopted the Huntington 
Supplemental Stock Purchase and Tax Savings Plan and Trust (the "Plan") 
effective March 1, 1989.  Huntington subsequently amended the Plan on May 24, 
1989, and February 9, 1990.  The following summary describes the Plan as 
amended and restated.

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 purpose of the Plan is to provide a supplemental savings 
program for employees of Huntington and its participating affiliates who are 
subject to restrictions on the amount of contributions they can make to the 
Huntington Stock Purchase and Tax Savings Plan because of the annual limitation 
on elective deferrals and the limitation on the amount of compensation that can 
be taken into account under such a tax qualified plan.  

Each eligible employee may elect to have all or any portion of the pre-tax 
matched contributions that he or she elected to defer under the Huntington 
Stock Purchase and Tax Savings Plan, but which cannot be allocated to his or 
her  pre-tax account under such plan because of the annual limitation on 
deferrals imposed by applicable tax laws, allocated to his or her account under 
the Plan.

Concurrently with the payment of the participant's supplemental pre-tax matched 
contributions, his or her employer shall make a matching contribution to the 
Plan on behalf of the participant equal to 75% of the participant's 
supplemental pre-tax matched contributions.  Matching contributions may be made 
in the form of cash or Huntington Bancshares Incorporated common stock ("Common 
Stock"), or a combination thereof.

Amounts held in the trust fund are invested by the Trustee in Common Stock.  
The Trustee maintains a separate account for each participant which reflects 
such participant's share of assets held in the Plan. Employee and employer 
contributions are fully vested at all times.

Distributions are made in a lump sum upon death or termination of employment 
with Huntington or its affiliates.  



                                       6


<PAGE>

The Plan is administered by the Stock Purchase Plan Committee (the 
"Committee"), which is appointed by Huntington's Board of Directors.  None of 
the members of the Committee receives compensation from the assets of the Plan.

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

INVESTMENTS

The Trustee invests contributed amounts solely in 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. The cost 
of specific investments sold is used to compute realized gains and losses.

WITHDRAWALS

Withdrawals in the form of Common Stock are reported at market value. Amounts 
previously reported for 1994 and 1993 have been changed to conform with the 
1995 presentation.

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 in 
connection with the purchase of securities, are paid by Huntington and 
participating affiliates. Expenses incurred in administering the Plan totaled 
$6,502, $5,335, and $5,323, for 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. 

NOTE 2 - CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents at December 31, 1995 and 1994, are comprised of money market 
funds.


                                       7


<PAGE>

NOTE  3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

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

Huntington is subject to 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.  

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

NOTE 4 - NET REALIZED AND UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENTS

The following tables summarize the net realized and unrealized appreciation 
(depreciation) of the Plan's investments in Common Stock for each of the three 
years in the period ended December 31, 1995:
