Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of the Huntington Funds
We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance With Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that the Huntington Funds, consisting of the Huntington Money Market Fund, Huntington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, Huntington Dividend Capture Fund, Huntington Real Strategies Fund, Huntington Situs Fund, Huntington Balanced Allocation Fund, Huntington Conservative Allocation Fund, Huntington Growth Allocation Fund, Huntington Global Select Markets Fund, Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund, Huntington VA International Equity Fund, Huntington VA Situs Fund, (collectively, the “Funds”) complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act) as of December 31, 2014. Management is responsible for the Funds’ compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Funds’ compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Funds’ compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of December 31, 2014 and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from August 29, 2014 (the date of our last examination), through December 31, 2014:
| • | Confirmation of all securities as of December 31, 2014 held by institutions in book entry form by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, Brown Brothers Harriman, and Depository Trust Company; |
| • | Confirmation of all securities hypothecated, pledged, placed in escrow or out for transfer with brokers, pledgees or transfer agents, |
| • | Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the Funds and Huntington National Bank, the Custodian; |
| • | Confirmation of all repurchase agreements with brokers/banks and agreement of underlying collateral with Huntington National Bank records; and |
| • | Agreement of twenty-five security purchases and sales or maturities since our last report from the books and records of the Funds to broker confirmations. |
We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Funds’ compliance with specified requirements.
In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Funds complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 of the Act as of December 31, 2014, with respect to securities reflected in the investment account of the Funds is fairly stated, in all material respects.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of Huntington Funds and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
