Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. 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 results for the interim
periods. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in
Huntington's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders should be read in conjunction
with these interim financial statements.

B. In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (FAS 125). The standard provides that,
following a transfer of financial assets, an entity is to recognize the
financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred,
derecognize financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognize
liabilities when extinguished. The Statement is effective for transactions
occurring after December 31, 1996. The FASB also subsequently issued FAS No. 127
that delayed until January 1, 1998, the effective date of certain provisions of
FAS 125. Transactions subject to the later effective date include securities
lending, repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, and similar secured financing
arrangements. Application of the new rules did not have a material impact on
Huntington's first quarter 1997 consolidated financial statements. Huntington
also does not expect a material impact in the future.

    In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
(FAS 128), which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time,
Huntington will report both basic and diluted earnings per share, with all prior
periods restated to conform to the new method. The impact of FAS 128 is not
expected to be material.

C. Huntington acquired Citi-Bancshares, Inc. (Citi-Bancshares), a $548 million
one-bank holding company headquartered in Leesburg, Florida, in February 1997.
Huntington exchanged common stock and cash for all the common stock of
Citi-Bancshares. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase; accordingly,
the results of Citi-Bancshares have been included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition.

    In May 1997, Huntington entered into a merger agreement with First Michigan
Bank Corporation (First Michigan), a $3.6 billion bank holding company
headquartered in Holland, Michigan. Under the terms of the merger, First
Michigan shareholders will receive 1.05 shares of Huntington stock for every 1
share of First Michigan stock in a transaction accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. The acquisition is expected to be completed in the third
quarter of 1997, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.

D. Per common share amounts have been calculated based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding in each period, adjusted as applicable for
the ten percent stock dividend issued July 31, 1996. The dilutive effects of
unexercised stock options and convertible debentures were not significant for
any period presented.

E. Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation. These reclassifications had
no effect on net income.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

INTRODUCTION

        Management's discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements
that are intended to enhance the reader's ability to assess the future financial
performance of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington). Because these
statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, actual
results could be materially different. The following factors, among others, may
have such an impact: changes in economic conditions; movements in interest
rates; competitive pressures on product pricing and services; success and timing
of business strategies; and the nature and extent of legislative and regulatory
actions and reforms.

        On May 5, 1997, Huntington signed a definitive agreement to acquire
First Michigan Bank Corporation (First Michigan), a $3.6 billion bank holding
company headquartered in Holland, Michigan. Under the terms of the merger, the
shareholders of First Michigan will receive 1.05 shares of Huntington common
stock for every 1 share of First Michigan common stock in a fixed, tax-free
exchange. First Michigan had total loans and deposits of $2.6 billion and $3.0
billion, respectively, and total equity of $279 million at March 31, 1997. Upon
consummation of the pooling-of-interests transaction, Huntington expects to
report a pre-tax charge to earnings estimated at $35 million. Subject to
shareholder and regulatory approvals, the merger is anticipated to be completed
late in the third quarter of 1997.

OVERVIEW

        Huntington reported earnings of $66.5 million for the first quarter of
1997 compared with $62.8 million for the same period last year. On a per share
basis, net income was $.47, an increase of 11.9% from $.42 per share in the
first quarter of 1996. Huntington's return on average equity (ROE) and return on
average assets (ROA) were 17.75% and 1.28%, respectively, during the recent
three months versus 16.02% and 1.26% in the same period one year ago.

        Total assets were $21.6 billion at March 31, 1997, up 3.6% from year end
and 7.3% from first quarter 1996. This growth was attributable to a broad-based
increase in loans, with particularly strong results in the consumer category,
which showed a 13.3% rise in average balances versus last year's first three
months. Also contributing to the higher asset total was the February 1997
acquisition of Citi-Bancshares, Inc. (Citi-Bancshares), a $548 million one-bank
holding company headquartered in Leesburg, Florida.

        Total deposits grew 4.1% from December 31, 1996, and 7.2% compared with
one year ago, principally as a result of the Citi-Bancshares acquisition. Core
deposits represent Huntington's most significant source of funding; when
combined with other core funding sources, they provide approximately 70% of
Huntington's funding needs.

        Huntington's wholesale liability mix changed somewhat during the recent
three months, as certain short-term borrowings were replaced upon maturity with
medium term notes having a contractual term greater than one year (a component
of long-term debt). The January 1997 issuance of $200 million



                                                                               9

of capital securities by a special-purpose subsidiary of Huntington also
increased long-term debt. The capital securities were a cost-effective means of
strengthening Huntington's regulatory capital position.

        Shareholders' equity increased approximately 4.0% versus both December
and March 31, 1996. Excluding the effect of net unrealized losses on securities
available for sale, equity was up 6.8% and 8.2%, respectively. The higher equity
was primarily the result of common stock issued by Huntington in the
Citi-Bancshares acquisition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

        Net interest income was $211.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997, a 14.5% increase from $184.7 million in the same period last year.
Interest rate swaps and other off-balance sheet financial instruments used for
asset/liability management purposes provided a $1.8 million benefit versus a
reduction of $15.1 million one year ago. Higher loan volumes also contributed to
the increase in net interest income. The net interest margin, on a fully tax
equivalent basis, was 4.35% during the most recent quarter versus 4.03% in the
first three months of 1996. The latter percentage was negatively impacted by
off-balance sheet interest rate contracts that reduced the first quarter 1996
margin by 33 basis points, a significant component of which was amortization of
net losses from closed positions. At March 31, 1997, deferred gains and losses
remaining to be amortized were immaterial.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

          The provision for loan losses was $18.9 million in the first quarter
of 1997, up from $11.8 million in the same period last year. Net charge-offs
(annualized) as a percent of average total loans were .43% in the recent three
months, compared with .34% in the first quarter one year ago and .46% for all of
1996.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

        Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions, was $63.8
million in the recent three months compared with $61.1 million in the same
period last year. Solid growth in electronic banking fees, investment product
sales, and trust services was somewhat offset by decreases in mortgage banking
income and credit card fees. Mortgage banking income declined in large part
because the first quarter 1996 total included a non-recurring gain from the sale
of portfolio loans. Credit card fees were lower, as Huntington sold a portion of
its interest in certain payment processing contracts in April 1996 in connection
with the formation of a strategic alliance.

        Huntington realized gains from securities transactions of $2.0 million
in the first quarter of 1997 versus $7.1 million in the same period one year
ago. The higher gains last year resulted from the sale of collateralized
mortgage obligations and mortgage backed securities to reduce price and/or
prepayment risk.







                                                                       10

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

        Non-interest expense increased 8.2% from one year ago. Adjusting for the
effect of acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method, the increase was
6.2%. Advertising costs associated with Huntington's branding campaign also
contributed to the growth in expenses. Personnel costs (salaries, commissions,
and benefits) were up 6.4%, which is indicative of more full-time equivalent
employees and normal salary adjustments. The larger organization, driven by
higher business volumes, acquisitions, and new business initiatives, also
contributed to an increase in various other components of non-interest expense.
The efficiency ratio was solid at 56.3% versus 58.2% in first quarter 1996.

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, establishing broad policies and specific operating limits that
govern a variety of financial risks inherent in Huntington's operations,
including interest rate, liquidity, 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 both
the business flows onto the balance sheet 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
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 which are believed to be
affected by interest rates. These include prepayment speeds on mortgages and
consumer installment loans, principal amortization and maturities on other
financial instruments, and balance sheet growth assumptions. The model captures
embedded options, e.g. 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. While these assumptions are inherently uncertain, management
utilizes probabilities and, therefore, believes that the model provides an
accurate estimate of Huntington's interest rate risk exposure. Management
reporting of this information is regularly shared with the Board of Directors.

        At March 31, 1997, the results of Huntington's interest sensitivity
analysis indicated that net interest income would be relatively unchanged by a
100 basis points increase or 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). Net interest income would be expected to
increase 0.9% if rates were to fall 200 basis points versus a decline in net
interest income of 2.4% if rates rose 200 basis points.






                                                                       11


<PAGE>   12


        Active interest rate risk management necessitates the use of various
types of off-balance sheet financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps.
Risk that is 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. In
addition, 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 are often preferable to similar cash
instruments because, though performing identically, 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. The valuation of
interest rate swap contracts 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. With respect to the variable
rate information and the indexed amortizing swap maturities presented in the
table below, management made no assumptions regarding future changes in interest
rates.

        The pay rates on Huntington's receive-fixed swaps vary based on
movements in the applicable London inter-bank offered rate (LIBOR).
Receive-fixed asset conversion swaps with a notional value of $200 million have
embedded written LIBOR-based call options. Also, receive-fixed liability
conversion swaps with a notional value of $150 million have embedded written
LIBOR-based caps. 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 which provide for
both parties to receive interest payments according to different













                                                                       12

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 notional values of the swap portfolio represent contractual amounts
on which interest payments to be exchanged are based. These notional values do
not represent direct credit exposures. At March 31, 1997, Huntington's credit
risk from interest rate swaps used for asset/liability management purposes was
$36.5 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
and does not anticipate nonperformance in the future by any such counterparties.

Huntington on behalf of customers (for which the related interest rate risk is
offset by third party contracts) was $246 million at the recent quarter-end.
Total credit exposure from such contracts, represented by those instruments with
a positive fair value, was $1.5 million. 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 tables.

ASSET QUALITY

        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 and excessive industry or
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.

        Asset quality continues to be strong. 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 $81.1 million at March 31, 1997, down 2.9% from one
year ago. Non-performing loans represented .41% of total loans and
non-performing assets as a percent of total loans and other real estate were
only .54%. Loans past due ninety days or more but continuing to accrue interest
(primarily consumer and residential real estate) were $35.9 million at the
recent quarter-end.

        The allowance for loan losses (ALL) 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 in evaluating 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
historical loss experience, prevailing economic conditions, and other relevant
factors. At March 31, 1997, the ALL represented 1.40% of total loans and covered
non-performing loans 3.4 times; when combined with the allowance for other real
estate, it was 254.5% of total non-performing assets.





                                                                       13

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 excess
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.

        Huntington's ratio of average equity to average assets was 7.21% in the
first three months of 1997 compared with 7.89% in the same period last year.
Huntington showed improvement in each of the key regulatory capital ratios, as
the proceeds from the issuance of capital securities by the special purpose
subsidiary are considered a component of Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve
Board guidelines. In addition, each bank subsidiary had regulatory capital
ratios in excess of the levels established for "well-capitalized" institutions.

        On February 21, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized Huntington to
repurchase up to 11.0 million additional shares of its common stock (adjusted
for the July 1996 stock dividend) through open market purchases and privately
negotiated transactions. The authorization represented a continuation of the
common stock repurchase program begun in August 1987 and provided that the
shares will be reserved for reissue in connection with Huntington's benefit
plans as well as for other corporate purposes. Huntington purchased 1.4 million
shares in the first quarter of 1997 at an aggregate cost of $37.6 million,
leaving 2.8 million shares available for repurchase. As a result of the pending
merger with First Michigan (discussed above), Huntington has suspended its
common stock repurchase program.
