PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS - ------- -------- (a) General Development of Business Horizon Bancorp, a registered bank holding company organized under the laws of the State of Indiana on April 26, 1983, (Registrant), became the parent corporation and sole shareholder of The First Merchants National Bank of Michigan City pursuant to a plan of reorganization effective October 31, 1983. Prior to October 31, 1983, the Registrant conducted no business and had only nominal assets necessary to complete the plan of reorganization. On October 1, 1986 the Registrant issued 399,340 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the common stock of Citizens Michiana Financial Corporation in connection with mergers of such companies and their subsidiaries. Subsequent to the merger, the Registrant remains a one-bank holding company with a wholly-owned subsidiary, First Citizens Bank, N.A. (Bank) and non-bank subsidiaries, HBC Insurance Group (Insurance Company) and The Loan Store, Inc., (Loan Store). (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments The Registrant, Bank and its subsidiaries are engaged in the commercial and retail banking business, retail lending and insurance credit life sales. Refer to Item 1(e) and Item 6 for information pertaining to Registrant's banking business. (c) Narrative Description of Business The Registrant's business is that incident to its 100% ownership of Bank, Loan Store and the Insurance Company. The main source of funds for the Registrant is dividends from Bank. Bank was chartered as a national bank association in 1873 and has operated continuously since that time. Bank, whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the extent provided by law, is a full-service commercial bank offering a broad range of commercial and retail banking services, corporate and individual trust and agency services, and other services incident to banking. Bank maintains eight facilities located exclusively within LaPorte County, Indiana and three facilities located in Porter County, Indiana. At December 31, 1995, Bank had total assets of $363,889,000 and total deposits of $289,039,000. Aside from the stock of Bank, the Registrant's only other significant assets are cash totaling approximately $661,000, investment securities totaling approximately $1,430,000 and taxes receivable of approximately $552,000 at December 31, 1995. The business of the Registrant and Bank is not seasonal to any material degree. No material part of the Registrant's business is dependent upon a single or small group of customers, the loss of any one or more of whom would have a materially adverse effect on the business of the Registrant. Revenues from loans accounted for 67% in 1995, 66% in 1994, and 66% in 1993 of the total consolidated revenue. Revenues from investment securities accounted for 20% in 1995, 20% in 1994 and 21% in 1993 of total consolidated revenue. The Registrant has no employees and there are approximately 195 full and part-time persons employed by Bank as of December 31, 1995. A high degree of competition exists in all major areas where the Registrant engages in business. Bank's primary market consists of LaPorte County, Indiana, portions of Porter County, Indiana, and Berrien County, Michigan. Bank competes with commercial banks located in the home county and contiguous counties in Indiana and Michigan, as well as with savings and loan associations, consumer finance companies, and credit unions located therein. To a more moderate extent, Bank competes with Chicago money center banks, mortgage banking companies, insurance companies, brokerage houses, other institutions engaged in money market financial services, and certain government agencies. The Insurance Company offers credit insurance. The Loan Store, Inc. is engaged in the business of retail lending and operates one facility in Merrillville, Indiana. The net income generated from the insurance operation and the finance company are not significant to the overall operations of the Registrant. Regulation The earnings and growth of the banking industry and the Registrant are affected not only by the general economic conditions, but also by the credit policies of monetary authorities, particularly the Federal Reserve System. An important function of the Federal Reserve System is to regulate the national supply of bank credit in order to contest recessionary trends and curb inflationary pressures. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve System to implement these objectives are open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These means are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and may also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve System have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. Because of changing conditions in the national and international economy and the money markets, and as a result of actions by monetary and fiscal authorities, including the Federal Reserve System, interest rates, credit availability and deposit levels may change due to circumstances beyond the control of the Registrant or Bank. The Registrant, as a bank holding company, is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (Act), and is registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board of Governors). Under the Act, the Registrant is required to obtain prior approval of the Board of Governors before acquiring direct ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank. With certain exceptions, the Act precludes the Registrant from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank and from engaging in any business other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks, or furnishing services to its subsidiary. The Registrant may engage in, and may own shares of companies engaged in, certain activities found by the Board of Governors to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. The Registrant is required to file annual reports of its operations with the Board of Governors and such additional information as they may require pursuant to the Act, and the Registrant and Bank are subject to examination by the Board of Governors. Further, the Registrant and Bank are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements with respect to any extension of credit or provision of property or services. The Board of Governors also possesses the authority through cease and desist powers to regulate parent holding company and nonbank subsidiaries where action of a parent holding company or its nonbank subsidiaries constitutes a serious threat to the safety, soundness or stability of a subsidiary bank. Federal bank regulatory agencies also have the power to regulate debt obligations issued by bank holding companies. Included in these powers is the authority to impose interest ceilings and reserve requirements on such debt obligations. The acquisition of banking subsidiaries by bank holding companies is subject to the jurisdiction of, and requires the prior approval of, the Federal Reserve and, for institutions resident in Indiana, the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. Bank holding companies located in Indiana are permitted to acquire banking subsidiaries throughout the state, subject to limitations based upon the percentage of total state deposits of the holding company's subsidiary banks. Further, Indiana law permits interstate bank holding company acquisitions on a reciprocal basis, subject to certain limitations. Beginning July 1, 1992, Indiana law permits the Registrant to acquire banks, and be acquired by bank holding companies, located in any state in the country which permits reciprocal entry by Indiana bank holding companies. The Registrant and Bank are "affiliates" within the meaning of the Federal Reserve Act. The Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act limit the amount of the Bank's loans or extensions of credit to the Registrant, its investments in the stock or other securities thereof, and its taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. Bank, as a national bank, is regulated and regularly examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). In addition to certain statutory limitations on the payment of dividends, approval of the OCC is required for any dividend to the Registrant by Bank if the total of all dividends, including any proposed dividend, declared by Bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net profits (as defined by the OCC) for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. The Federal Reserve Board implemented risk-based capital requirements for banks and bank holding companies in December, 1988. The risk-based capital requirements have little effect on the Registrant because existing capital is in excess of the requirements.

Nonaccrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans - The following schedule summarizes nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans.

These loans had sustained required payment performance over the last six months or longer. The increase in nonaccrual loans in 1994 is due primarily to three loans for approximately $1,500,000, secured by real estate and having common ownership. These loans were placed on nonaccrual in April and May of 1994. III. LOAN PORTFOLIO (Continued) (Thousands) Gross interest income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans outstanding as of December 31, 1995 in the period if the loans had been current, in accordance with their original terms and had been outstanding throughout the period or since origination if held for part of the period $55 Interest income actually recorded on nonaccrual loans outstanding as of December 31, 1995 and included in net income for the period 0 Interest income not recognized during the period on nonaccrual loans outstanding as of December 31, 1995 $55 === Discussion of Nonaccrual Policy From time to time, the Bank obtains information which may lead management to believe that the collection of interest may be doubtful on a particular loan. In recognition of such, it is management's policy to convert the loan from an "earning asset" to a nonaccruing loan. Further, it is management's policy to place a commercial loan on a nonaccrual status when delinquent in excess of 90 days, unless the Loan Committee approves otherwise. All loans placed on nonaccrual status must be reviewed by the officer responsible for the loan, the senior lending officer and the loan review officer. The loan review officer monitors the loan portfolio for any potential problem loans. 2. Potential Problem Loans Loans where there are serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms, and not included in Section 1 above, amount to $ 344,000 at December 31, 1995. Loan customers included in this category are having financial difficulties at the present time and may need adjustments in their repayment terms. Payments are anticipated or collateral or guarantees are available to reduce any possible loss. These loans and potential loss exposure have been considered in management's analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Consideration was given to loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention that have not been disclosed in Section 1 above. Management believes that these loans do not represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources, or management believes that these loans do not represent material credits about which management is aware of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms. 3. Foreign outstandings None 4. Loan Concentrations As of December 31, 1995 there are no significant concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans other than those disclosed in Item III above. III. LOAN PORTFOLIO (Continued) (D) Other Interest-Bearing Assets Other than $3,117,000 held as other real estate owned, net of allowance, there are no other interest-bearing assets as of December 31, 1995 which would be required to be disclosed under Item III C.1 or 2 if such assets were loans. IV.

SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE (Continued) The allowance for loan losses balance and the provision charged to expense are judgmentally determined by management based upon the periodic reviews of the loan portfolio. In 1995, nonperforming loans decreased due primarily to the three loans returned to an accruing basis. In 1994, the bank experienced an increase in nonperforming loans which was due principally to the loans to a single borrower. As of December 31, 1994, the allowance for possible loan losses increased over 1993 both in terms of amount and percentage of outstanding loans. The provision for possible loan losses was lower in 1994 than 1993 in part because the bank experienced net loan recoveries. The provision for loan losses continues to decrease in 1994, not withstanding the increase in nonperforming loans, due to the availability of excess reserves within the allowance. The 1993 provision reflects both the decrease in charge-offs and nonperforming loans. Management also considered the varying charge-off and recovery levels relative to the installment loan portfolio as well as varying levels of charge-offs on commercial loans in determining an adequate allowance for loan losses for the periods presented. See also Note 5 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Estimating the risk of loss and the amount of loss is necessarily subjective. Accordingly, the allowance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover possible losses that are currently anticipated based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations including their financial position and collateral values and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over time. (B) The following schedule is a breakdown of the allowance for loan losses allocated by type of loan and the percentage of loans in each category to total loans.

To accomplish this, we placed major emphasis on reexamination of our branch delivery system, training our owner-employees, reallocating resources to support profitable growth, and technology. We achieved substantial success in these endeavors. While 1994 and 1995 were years of strategic positioning, our challenge in 1996 is continuing execution: to meet or exceed each of our business plans to achieve better financial performance. Change is the watchword in the banking industry. We see change in customer demands for different types of financial services and different ways to access those services, across all segments of our customer base. We are responding to change on all levels -- with new, nontraditional products, new ways to deliver them, and a leaner, more efficient way of doing business that keeps the customer first. Horizon has undertaken numerous strategies designed to enhance its future financial and stock price performance. We would like to discuss them with you. BRANCH DELIVERY SYSTEM We have found that more and more of our customers are banking without visiting a traditional branch office -- we now call them sales offices. Many are banking electronically through automated teller machines ("ATM"), telephones or their personal computer. To remain competitive from a cost standpoint, we are reducing the overhead burden of marginally profitable sales offices and opening new offices where they're called for by the types of products we want to offer. We have established a standard for deposit levels in a market that has strong economic growth -- or a strong and consistent growth pattern in loan origination's for an existing sales office -- to meet our profit standards. In the past three years 4 such offices failed to meet these standards and were closed. We are expanding into contiguous markets with good growth patterns. In the past three years we have opened four Bank sales offices in markets where significant growth opportunities have been identified. Those markets are LaPorte, Chesterton, Portage and Valparaiso. The latter three, all in Porter County, were opened in 1994 and 1995. We are pleased with their progress. Direct installment lending and credit cards continued their growth in 1995. We have enjoyed three consecutive years of double digit percentage installment loan growth due to the implementation of two dramatic changes in strategy: 1) the decision to exit indirect automobile financing, and 2) the origination of consumer loans at all sales office. In 1991 the Bank began its exit from indirect automobile lending. Among the major reasons were: 1) low yield performance, 2) inability to capture the entire banking relationship at the point of sale, and 3) no opportunity to earn credit insurance commissions. Although the shift has created over $30 million in roll-off since that time, from Senior Management's perspective, this was a market that banks would continue to play an increasingly minor role due to the obvious ties between the automobile manufacturers and their respective captive financing arms. The strategic shift in focus from this market to direct loan origination in Bank sales offices has been successful. Prior to 1994, consumer credit underwriting was primarily conducted at the Bank's main office in Michigan City. This was a practice common to many organizations because of the limited available technology needed for expedited credit decision making as well as a shortage of seasoned lenders. After considerable training and technology investments, the sales office staffs have positively responded to the increased responsibility with strong growth in loans originated and credit insurance sales. We expect the Consumer Lending portfolio to continue to be a larger percentage of our total loan portfolio in 1996. TRAINING Horizon continues to believe that the investment with the highest possible future return is in training its owner-employees. The nature of today's banking profession requires individuals empowered with decision making authority at all levels. Errors in judgment in the decision making process, caused by inadequate learning skills or accomplishment, can result in significant financial and customer acquisition opportunity losses. In April 1995 a five-week training program -- NEWS (New Employee Workshops Seminars) -- commenced for all employees. The goal of this program is to convey Horizon's philosophy on team building, diversity, negotiation and conflict resolution as well as the regulatory and product information needed to enhance the decision making process. This program can be compared to Disney University in its mission. Commencing in 1994, Horizon enrolled the officer staff in the American Management Associations 4 week Management Course. This program is conducted in one week units that can be scheduled over an 18-24 month period and covers such topics as corporate strategy, marketing finance and self-development. This program, NEWS and a future in-house sales training program are equipping our owner-employees with the learning skills required in our industry. ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES TO SUPPORT PROFITABLE GROWTH We have been working on initiatives that will contribute to strengthening Horizon and making its fundamental earnings power more visible in 1996. During 1995 we confronted the issue of over-staffing and remixing the combination of sales and sales-support owner-employees to bring more value to Horizon and the customer. Senior Management created a staffing model that established and monitors payroll and personnel counts for every division of Horizon. Beginning in mid-1995 a significant reduction in staffing was started due to advanced training programs, changes in technology and redesigning existing processes. Full time equivalents now stand at 195 versus 245 one year ago, an expected annual compensation savings of $1.3 million. Among the key issues facing banking today is the need to embrace the changing role of financial sales. Banks that continue to believe their survival and prosperity will continue via traditional "order-taking" methods will not survive. We are moving to a standard of 60% of our owner-employees directly devoted to sales by the end of 1996. This a shift from 45% in 1994. We expect to reach the goal of 70% in 1997. We are looking at all of our jobs and processes with an eye toward working smarter and more effectively in providing a high level of quality service to our customers. We expect dramatic noninterest expense reductions in 1996 compared to 1995 and prior while at the same time increasing earning assets. Vigilance on costs and staffing levels is essential to our future success. In 1996 we will be introducing a totally redesigned service package that will correct an imbalance in profit distribution in our customer base. After considerable in-house research and modeling, discussion with consultants and attendance at outside education programs, Senior Management believes that 130% of Horizon's profit is derived from 20% of its customers. This is an industry phenomenon that creates an obvious imperative to change the pricing and delivery of our services. We are creating an outstanding sales force that, absent this change in service package pricing, would be charged with delivering its wealth creation and improving quality of life expertise regardless of the customers present or likely future profitability. New service packages along with our new data processing system and extensive training will allow implementation of revised pricing disciplines to correct the imbalances in profit among the different customer segments. Allowing customers to make a choice of when and what price they want to pay for the delivery of routine financial services will require continued expansion of our present automated teller machine ("ATM") and automated loan machine ("ALM") networks. As with the new South Franklin facility discussed later in this report, we will be installing technology centers both within and without existing sales offices that will facilitate extended hours access to financial services. In 1995 Horizon formed a consumer finance company, The Loan Store. This affiliate's mission is to originate high yield and generally smaller consumer loans in markets that the Bank cannot readily or profitably enter. The announcement of the intent to form this entity was made in March 1995, limited operations began in November 1995, and full operations commenced February 1, 1996. The first location is Merrillville, Indiana. A second Indiana location is planned for 1996. Thereafter, it is The Loan Store management's plan to open one store per quarter in the Indiana, Illinois and Michigan region. In late 1994, Horizon received permission from regulatory authorities to incorporate a captive credit insurance company -- HBC Insurance Group, Inc. ("HBC") -- is domiciled in Arizona. The benefit of operating HBC is simple: without a captive company, under Indiana statute, the highest earnings possible on an individual insurance sale is 35% of the gross premium. With HBC's formation, the Bank and The Loan Store can exclusively sell HBC's credit insurance. At loan maturity the balance of the premium net of commissions already paid flows to directly Horizon's consolidated net income. HBC operating expenses are approximately 15% of gross premium sold. We have experienced double digit percent premium growth since its formation. Presently we plan on creating a trust subsidiary that will develop its own sales office system. Our Trust Division has now grown to over $347 million in market value of assets under management. At December 31, 1995 this was nearly as large as First Citizens Bank in asset size. We believe the creation of a separate corporate entity will allow for the geographic expansion of trust services in much the same fashion that the Bank did in Porter County, without being confined to the restrictions of a commercial banking charter in terms of regulatory burden and office location limitations. The new entity will have a separately reported operating income and expense statement that will provide a high level of accountability on the entity's ability to grow revenues and manage costs, while at the same time eliminate the distortion associated with consolidating a large trust department's operating expenses -- but not its assets under management -- with the Bank. This division has identified markets that are better suited to investment management and trust services than commercial banking expansion. As with The Loan Store strategy, this will allow greater ease of movement into growing markets. We believe our cramped facility at South Franklin in Michigan City is placing the Bank at a competitive disadvantage in the continually growing South Franklin/US Highway 421 corridor. This location has the highest customer counts of all our sales offices but is among the smallest in physical size. With construction commencing in March 1996 directly across the street from our present site, we will be offering investment management and trust services as well as our complete retail product lineup at a new 13,000 square foot sales office totally devoted to personal selling. As part of our technology strategy, this facility is also designed for extended hours access to routine financial services in a completely automated environment. This self-service technology center will offer advanced function ATMs, that among other routine features can cash a check to the penny or provide a printout of a customers most recent statement; automated loan machines with several enhancements planned for 1996; an interactive voice response terminal with direct access to customer information; and a stand-alone personal computer that will offer a host of user friendly programs such as financial planning programs and Horizon Bancorp Internet home page access. TECHNOLOGY We have and will continue to invest heavily in technology, not only to expand alternative delivery systems that customers are demanding, but also to foster new product development and the marketing of an extensive array of financial products and services. Furthermore, technology is playing a critical role in our cost containment programs. The use of a technologically advanced credit scoring system has allowed the Bank and The Loan Store to extend its loan decision to the point of sale, thereby decreasing the decision time from hours to minutes. This provides us with a tremendous competitive advantage in the marketplace. Coupled with the credit score card a pricing matrix sets the interest rate based upon the amount borrowed and credit score. The result -- borrowers with an excellent credit history pay a lower rate, less credit worthy borrowers are offered a rate directly related to their statistically valid predicted ability to repay. Since implementation of this strategy in April 1995, the Bank's total Installment Loan portfolio's spread to the average national prime rate has increased from 82 basis points to 194 basis points and the actual yield has grown by 79 basis points. Our planned Interactive Voice Response System will do more than tell you the balance in your checking account. We have other value-added features planned that include calling or faxing a business when its balances exceed or decline below certain customer defined levels, automated statement generation and Internet access. 1995 culminated with the completion of two significant technology events. Four Automated Loan Machines ("ALM") were introduced in November. The entire transaction on an ALM, everything from borrower education to identification, validation, underwriting, consummation and even documentation is done on-line in under 10 minutes. We believe the ALM will revolutionize the financial industry by supporting a consumer driven retail platform that will eventually be expanded to support other consumer deposit, loan and alternative financial services. The installation of an automated collection system now allows our staff to more efficiently monitor debtor payment performance in an on-line environment. Prior to installation, collections were monitored on paper copy. Collection staffing was reduced 50% after implementation. The system is used by the Bank and The Loan Store. From 1976 through November 1994, the Bank contracted with a third party remote service bureau for processing its core product systems, with the exception of trust. Near the expiration of the Bank's contract an investigation of other processors was conducted. The search concluded that from expense and product performance perspectives, the FISERV Comprehensive Banking System best met present and future needs. After several hundred hours of training and testing, the system was successfully installed in November 1994. Several long awaited products have been introduced since this conversion. Prior to our conversion to the FISERV system the third party remote system had become a quagmire of quick fix patches as changes became necessary. Our owner-employees believed that these standards were the way to perform the required tasks. Even when we attempted to make improvements in our internal processes, the solutions remained basically the same. With our conversion to a new system we have begun the process of redesigning manual and partially manual processes. To date, a large part of the redesign has involved the streamlining and/or elimination of steps that brought little or no value to Horizon or most importantly -- the customer. As we have gained considerable experience with personal computer network systems we have explored the opportunities and costs of converting, or eliminating as appropriate, several manual processes. We are well aware of the pitfalls inherent in this endeavor. We will not allow ourselves to: 1) remake or fix an old process instead of redesigning it, 2) determine what the new process should be by over-studying current processes, 3) take too long and lose momentum and 4) attempt to accomplish everything at once and overtax our owner-employees as well as our capacity for change. Our Trust Division also converted from a remote service bureau environment to an in-house data processing system. Again, as with the FISERV system of the Bank, this will allow for greater flexibility in product creation and customer communication. The Trust Division operated under the remote processing agreement for over 20 years -- a system that met that division's basic needs. With the revolution in financial services Trust Management decided that at the expiration of the then current contract they would purchase the Trust-Rite system from The Northern Trust Company, Chicago. The system was successfully installed in July 1995. COMMUNITY Our strong commitment to the communities we serve will continue and increase. We strive to make a positive difference in the future of these communities while at the same time striking a measured balance in our community efforts which fulfills both social needs and Horizon needs. We understand the values of the people who live and work in the communities we serve and believe the fortunes of Horizon are directly related to the fortunes of the communities. In 1995 the owner-employees devoted thousand of hours to numerous causes. One of the programs we are extremely proud of is our involvement with the Michigan City Schools and more particularly Niemann Elementary School. In 1994, we were approached by Niemann's principal to explore a partnership. Since that time we have forged an uncommon bond between our organizations that has had a significant positive impact on the education process at Niemann. We have provided both financial and human resources. Niemann School is now conducting education based upon a year round calendar. Its staff has been able to attend many innovative development programs. But most importantly, the children of Niemann are experiencing a change in the education process heretofore only dreamed of. They have participated in significant cultural and educational events not available to them because of limited resources. ASSET QUALITY We will not waiver in our commitment to asset quality. 1995 continued our net recovery position in loan losses. In an environment of change, this remains the one constant in our approach to the banking business. Although this issue has been largely absent from headlines during the strengthening of the economy, it will reappear when the business cycle turns down again -- as it inevitably will. Although we were growing the loan portfolios at the same time, we have not had a monthly provision for loan losses since April 1994. In 1996 and beyond, we will continue to manage and maximize profitability over the entire business cycle without taking on undue credit or interest rate risk. We are committed to being a high performance independent community bank. This means having a clear vision and set of priorities that we follow, having a balanced capacity to assess and take risk, attracting and retaining the best people in an environment that is fun and rewarding, and being dedicated to superior performance for customers, shareholders and our fellow owner-employees. Our goals for 1996 are aggressive, but necessarily so. We will continue to refine our business mix, reallocate resources to areas with the most attractive opportunities and rigorously control expenses while maintaining the high quality customer service that is essential to our success. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION A REPORT TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, OWNER EMPLOYEES, CUSTOMERS AND COMMUNITY..... This Report to you, our stakeholders, provides us the opportunity to discuss in detail several important aspects of Horizon Bancorp (Horizon) and its subsidiaries, First Citizens Bank, N.A. (Bank), HBC Insurance Group, Inc. and The Loan Store, Inc. This report covers the financial performance of Horizon, other operating results and various changes and programs that we expect to undertake in the months ahead. Horizon Bancorp is a bank holding company headquartered in Michigan City, Indiana and its principal business is commercial banking conducted through First Citizens Bank, a national bank chartered in 1873. In 1984, Horizon Bancorp was formed as a one bank holding company and in 1985, the employees of Horizon formed an Employee Stock Ownership Plan which is also considered a bank holding company under the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve. In 1994, HBC Insurance Group, Inc. was chartered as a reinsurance company for the sale of credit life and accident and health insurance on consumer loans. In 1995, The Loan Store, Inc. was chartered as a finance company. This subsidiary offers a wide variety of credit services to consumers. ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION - ------------------------------- INVESTMENT SECURITIES Horizon maintains an overall investment portfolio of high quality with very low credit risk. Investment securities totaled $87.109 million at December 31, 1995 and consisted of U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities of $10.345 million (12%); Other securities of $13.160 million (15%); and Mortgage Backed securities of $63.604 million (73%). Total investment securities decreased 11.7% from 1994. The decrease was from principal and interest payments received on mortgage backed securities and from the maturity of investments, primarily municipal securities. These funds were used primarily to fund loan growth during 1995. As indicated above, the majority of the investment portfolio consists of mortgage backed securities. These instruments are secured by residential mortgages of varying maturities. Principal and interest payments are received monthly as the underlying mortgages are repaid. These payments also include prepayments of mortgage balances as borrowers either sell their homes or refinance their mortgages. Therefore, mortgage backed securities have maturities that are stated in terms of average life. The average life is the average amount of time that each principal dollar is expected to be outstanding. As of December 31, 1995, the mortgage backed securities in the investment portfolio had an average life of 5.06 years and a range of 1.53 years to 10.81 years. Mortgage backed securities that have interest rates above current market rates are purchased at a premium. These securities may experience a significant increase in prepayments when lower market interest rates create an incentive for the borrower to refinance the underlying mortgage. This may result in a decrease of current income. That risk is mitigated by a shorter average life. Management currently believes that this risk is nominal. Mortgage backed securities are repriced when the underlying mortgages carry adjustable interest rates, some of which may have caps. Approximately 43% of the mortgage backed securities that Horizon holds are secured by adjustable rate mortgages. Adjustments to the interest rates on the underlying mortgages occur throughout the year and these rate adjustments are passed through to the mortgage backed security immediately. The average amount and yield of the securities subject to repricing during each of the quarters of 1996, are as follows: (IN THOUSANDS) Amount Yield ------ ----- First Quarter, 1996 $1,482 6.14% Second Quarter, 1996 9,845 6.50 Third Quarter, 1996 6,581 6.09 Fourth Quarter, 1996 3,180 5.47 The portion of the investment portfolio that is represented by the securities of State and Political Subdivisions, preferred stock and other securities is generally rated by Standard and Poor's and/or Moody's Investors Service. At December 31, 1995, this portion of the investment portfolio had an original cost of $13.284 million and of that amount, $8.484 million (64%) were rated AAA; $2.388 million (18%) were rated AA or A; and $2.412 million (18%) were not rated. Most of the not rated bonds were issued by local municipalities in our market area. Management adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" on January 1, 1994. FAS 115 requires that debt securities that Horizon has both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity be carried at amortized cost. Debt securities that Horizon does not have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and all marketable equity securities are classified as available for sale or trading and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as available for sale are carried as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Horizon considers a significant portion of its investment portfolio available for sale under guidelines set forth in FAS 115. As a result, Horizon transferred a major portion of its investment portfolio to available for sale upon implementation of FAS 115. At December 31, 1995, 86.0% of investment securities were classified as available for sale compared to 84.3% at December 31, 1994. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 115, securities classified as available for sale are carried at their fair value, with both unrealized gains and losses added or subtracted, net of tax, directly to stockholders' equity. This accounting method adds potential volatility to stockholders' equity, but net income is not affected unless securities are sold. Net appreciation on these securities totaled $779 thousand, which resulted in a $466 thousand addition, net of tax, to stockholders' equity at December 31, 1995. This compared to a $2.327 million, net of tax, reduction in stockholders' equity at December 31, 1994. Currently, Horizon does not maintain a trading account and is not using any derivative products for hedging or other purposes. LOANS Total loans were $241.662 million at December 31, 1995, the principal earning asset of Bank . The current level of loans is an increase of 8.07% from the December 31, 1994 level of $223.622 million. As the table below indicates, the increases are primarily in 1-4 family real estate loans which increased 13.58% and consumer credit cards and real estate/home improvement loans which increased 29.92% and 20.30%, respectively.

Bank has established rigorous underwriting standards including a policy that monitors the lending function through strict administrative and reporting requirements. Bank maintains an independent loan review function that regularly attests to asset quality. The geographic distribution of outstanding loans is reviewed to determine that Bank is serving the credit needs of our communities and to examine the success of marketing efforts in our various market segments. On December 31, 1995, outstanding loans were geographically distributed as follows: % of (In thousands) % of Number Total Amount Total ------ ----- ------ ----- Michigan City 6,572 40.64% $85,453 35.36% City of LaPorte 1,643 10.16% 28,452 11.77% Other LaPorte County 3,076 19.02% 36,853 15.25% Porter County 956 5.91% 19,998 8.28% Other Indiana 2,561 15.84% 43,117 17.84% Out of State 1,363 8.43% 27,789 11.50% ----- ----- ------ ------ Total 16,171 100.00% $241,662 100.00% ====== ======= ======== ======= COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT Bank actively promotes home ownership among minority and low-to-moderate income groups under our Community Reinvestment Act programs. These programs include special marketing efforts, education programs for prospective home owners and financial assistance and special loan programs through the Bank's membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank. Bank is a partner with organizations assisting minority and low-to -moderate income families, including the Community Development Corporation which provides direct construction programs and other forms of housing assistance. The primary obstacle to home ownership for low-to-moderate income families in our market has been a poor credit history on the part of the applicant. Special credit counseling programs are now available for these potential borrowers and some success has been seen from these efforts, although results do not reflect large numbers of qualified applicants. Another obstacle today is that the price of a home results in a mortgage payment that is unaffordable by many prospective families. Based upon the results of these loan programs and on the efforts made throughout the community by Bank employees, the Community Reinvestment Act Performance Evaluation dated September 30, 1994 resulted in a rating of Outstanding, the highest rating available. REAL ESTATE LOANS Real estate loans totaled $119.739 million or 50% of total loans as of December 31, 1995, compared to $105.512 million or 47% as of December 31, 1994. This category consists of home mortgages which generally require a loan to value of at least 80%. Some special guaranteed or insured real estate loan programs do permit a higher loan to collateral value ratio. Legally binding commitments to extend credit on real estate loans totaled $2.996 million and $3.188 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. In addition to the customary real estate loans described above, Bank also had outstanding on December 31, 1995, $3.211 million in home equity lines of credit and $3.157 million at December 31, 1994. Credit lines normally limit the loan to collateral value to no more than 70%. These loans are classified as consumer loans in the table above and in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. Residential real estate lending is a highly competitive business. As of December 31, 1995, the real estate loan portfolio reflected a wide range of interest rate and repayment patterns, but could generally be categorized as follows: (Dollars in thousands) |-----------1995-----------| |-----------1994----------| Percent Percent of of Amount Portfolio Yield Amount Portfolio Yield ------ --------- ----- ------ --------- ------ Fixed Rate Monthly ....... $ 55,602 46.44% 7.92% $ 47,764 45.27% 7.97% Payment Bi-Weekly ..... 25,951 21.67% 7.85% 26,241 24.87% 7.88% Payment Adjustable Rate Monthly ....... 37,439 31.27% 7.62% 30,802 29.19% 7.38% Payment Bi-Weekly payment 747 0.62% 8.76% 705 0.66% 7.34% --- ---- ---- --- ---- ---- Total ......... $119,739 100.0% 7.83% $105,512 100.0% 7.80% ======== ===== ==== ======== ===== ==== In addition to the real estate loan portfolio, Bank sold real estate loans which it services. On December 31, 1995, the portfolio serviced consisted of 326 loans totaling $16.195 million. The sale of real estate loans was greatly diminished during 1995, although sales may resume in 1996. COMMERCIAL LOANS Commercial loans totaled $66.125 million or 27% of total loans as of December 31, 1995, compared to $67.177 million or 30% as of December 31, 1994. The decline was due to several large relationships that were paid down in the first quarter as well as the ability of business customers to internally finance their growth. Modest growth in this portfolio is expected in 1996. Commercial loans consisted of the following types of loans at December 31: (In thousands) |----------1995---------||---------1994----------| Percent Percent Number Amount of Number Amount of Portfolio Portfolio ------ ------ --------- ------ ------ --------- SBA Guaranteed Loans ......... 44 $4,961 7.50% 37 $4,526 6.74% Municipal Government ......... 28 8,144 12.32% 22 8,354 12.44% Lines of Credit .............. 108 16,868 25.50% 108 20,651 30.74% Real Estate and Equipment ....

First Citizens Bank was recognized by the State of Indiana as the top lender in the state sponsored Capital Access Program and is a Certified Lender with the Small Business Administration. CONSUMER LOANS Consumer loans totaled $55.798 million or 23% of total loans as of December 31, 1995, compared to $50.933 million or 23% as of December 31, 1994. In 1994, Bank decided to exit indirect automobile lending. The decrease in the indirect consumer loan portfolio was $4.1 million or 8.0% of the total consumer loan portfolio. Even with the planned reduction in indirect lending, the total consumer loan portfolio grew 9.6%. This increase can be attributable to Bank's strong emphasis on direct lending in the various sales offices. In mid 1995, Bank purchased a credit scoring system to assist in lending decisions. A credit scoring system is a computer-based predictive behavior program that uses information such as employment history, credit reports and monthly income and expenses to make a recommendation regarding the approval of a consumer loan. This system has assisted in improving the approval ratio on consumer installment loans from 66% at the end of 1994 to 80% at the end of 1995. ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses represents Bank's estimate of potential credit losses associated with the loan portfolio, including off-balance-sheet lending commitments. The identification of loans that may have potential losses is necessarily subjective. Therefore, a general reserve is maintained to cover all potential losses within the entire loan portfolio. Bank utilizes a loan grading system that helps identify, monitor and address asset quality problems, should they arise, in an adequate and timely manner. Each quarter, Bank reviews various factors affecting the quality of the loan portfolio. Large credits are reviewed on an individual basis for loss potential. Other loans are reviewed as a group based upon previous trends of loss experience. Bank also reviews the current and anticipated economic conditions of its lending market to determine the effect they may have on the loss experience of the loan portfolio. The methodology described above is consistent with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's Banking Circular 201 which gives guidance in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 1995, the allowance for loan losses was 1.15% of total loans outstanding, compared to 1.14% at December 31, 1994. NONPERFORMING LOANS Nonperforming loans are defined as loans that are greater than 90 days delinquent or have had the accrual of interest discontinued by management. Management continues to work diligently toward returning nonperforming loans to an earning asset basis. Nonperforming loans for the previous three years ending December 31 are as follows: (In thousands) 1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- Nonperforming Loans $ 1,201 $ 3,268 $ 2,168 ======= ======= ======= Nonperforming loans were .43 times the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1995 compared to 1.28 and .94 times the allowance for loan losses on December 1994 and 1993, respectively. The decrease in the nonperforming assets as of December 31, 1995 is primarily due to three loans which were returned to a performing status. These loans had sustained required payment performance over the last six months or longer. Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 114 and 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" as of January 1, 1995. This statement addresses how a financial institution classifies impaired loans. A loan becomes impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is classified as impaired, the degree of impairment must be recognized by estimating future cash flows from the debtor. The present value of these cash flows is computed at a discount rate based on the interest rate contained in the loan agreement. However, if a particular loan has a determinable market value, the creditor may use that value. Also, if the loan is secured and considered collateral dependent, the creditor may use the fair value of the collateral. SFAS No. 114 and 118 apply to all loans except large groups of homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated. Smaller-balance, homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such loans include residential first mortgage loans secured by 1 to 4 family residences, residential construction loans, automobile, home equity and second mortgage loans. Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other properties are evaluated individually for impairment. When analysis of borrower operating results and financial condition indicate that underlying cash flows of a borrower's business are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements, the loan is evaluated for impairment. Often this is associated with a delay or shortfall in payments of 30 days or more. Loans are generally moved to nonaccrual status when 90 days or more past due. These loans are often considered impaired. Impaired loans or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible. Other real estate owned (OREO) and the related allowance for OREO losses for the previous three years ending December 31 is as follows: (In thousands) 1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- Other real estate owned $4,193 $5,730 $7,553 Allowance for OREO losses 1,075 1,801 1,988 ----- ----- ----- Net other real estate owned $3,118 $3,929 $5,565 ====== ====== ====== During 1995, progress was made through the sale of a portion of these assets although an additional loss of $353 thousand was realized. At December 31, 1995, other real estate owned consisted of only 3 properties, one commercial property, one small residential property and a waterfront property on Trail Creek. On November 2, 1993, a referendum was passed by the voters of LaPorte County to allow riverboat casino gambling in Michigan City, Indiana. Several gaming companies made application to the State Gaming Commission for a casino license in Michigan City. Horizon owns a waterfront property that is the preferred property for a gaming operation and may be of interest to a gaming company if a Michigan City casino license is granted. Gaming companies who made application for the license contacted Horizon and preliminary discussions concerning the sale of this property have been held. It is expected that a license for Michigan City will be considered by the state gaming commission in the first half of 1996. There are no assurances that the license will be granted to Michigan City or that the property owned by Horizon will be purchased by the licensee for development of gaming and related facilities. DEPOSITS The primary source of funds for Bank comes from the acceptance of demand and time deposits. However, at times Bank will use its ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank when it can do so at interest rates and terms that are superior to those required for deposited funds. Total deposits were $288.984 million at December 31, 1995 compared to $295.784 million at December 31, 1994 or a 2.3% decline. Below is a table of average deposits and rates by category for the previous three years ending December 31. (In Thousands) Average Balance Average Rate Outstanding for the Paid for the Year Ended December 31 Year Ended December 31 1995 1994 1993 1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Noninterest-bearing demand deposits $ 34,186 $ 34,193 $ 31,270 Interest-bearing demand deposits 51,802 52,529 50,678 1.47% 1.49% 1.78% Savings deposits 76,127 90,482 94,567 2.25 2.49 2.70 Time deposits 125,690 113,288 123,478 5.42 3.94 4.17 ------- ------- ------- ---- ---- ---- Total deposits $287,805 $290,492 $299,993 ======== ======== ======== Management believes that the decrease in deposits is the result of the lower interest rate environment, intense competition from non-financial institutions offering mutual funds, annuities and other investment alternatives and from Bank's own or competitive borrowed funds such as FHLB borrowings. Time deposits did show an increase in the average balance, although the balance of time deposits at December 31, 1995 was $115.269 million. The decline was from certificates held by municipalities that matured at the end of 1995. The majority of these funds were transferred to an interest bearing deposit account and subsequently transferred out of the Bank as they were distributed by the municipalities. Beginning in the second quarter of 1995, management increased interest rates on certificates of deposits in order to stop the disintermediation of funds. This accounts for the increased cost of these funds to 5.42% from 3.94% in 1994. While raising interest rates did increase the yield paid on these deposits, it did not bring in a large amount of new deposits. Therefore, in the fourth quarter, certificate of deposit rates were lowered. It should be noted that for any given deposit type there exists a broad range of interest rates in our market. On average, Bank attempts to maintain interest rates at or near those rates being offered by the leading Chicago banks, which is about mid-range at the local level. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (ESOP) - RETIREMENT PLAN In early 1993, the Compensation Committee of the Board initially discussed the continuation of Horizon's employee retirement benefit program which is maintained as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. In August 1993, the Board of Directors approved the continuation of this plan and authorized the transfer of 172,414 shares of Horizon's stock into the Employee Stock Ownership Plan for future allocation to employee retirement accounts. This was reported to shareholders in the 1993 annual report issued in April, 1994. Upon approval by all the required regulatory agencies, Horizon issued $5,000,006 in stock on August 26, 1994 at a price of $29 per share, the market value of the stock at the time the transaction was approved. Under Federal regulation, the Employee Stock Ownership Plan may pay a value equal to or less than market value for acquired shares, but not more. Under Statement of Position 93-6 "Employers Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans" issued by the Accounting Standards Division of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, these shares are not included in outstanding shares for the purposes of computing earnings per share and book value per share until they are committed to be released for allocation to employee retirement accounts. On December 31, 1995, the employees also owned in the ESOP a total of 122,956 shares which when combined with the additional purchase of 172,414 shares places a total of 295,370 shares in the ESOP. Dividends paid on 122,956 shares which have been allocated to employee accounts in prior years are returned to Horizon in payment for shares not yet allocated and as a result these dividends are returned to capital and are not recorded as compensation expense. Dividends paid on unallocated shares as well as any additional contributions made by Horizon to the ESOP are treated as compensation expense, but are returned to capital as a payment for unallocated shares. Although the stock being acquired carries an issue price of $29 per share, the stock must be allocated at its current market value if that is higher at the date of allocation. In this instance the cost increase is charged to compensation expense and is also returned to capital. As a result, the cost of providing a retirement benefit, as well as the reduction in cash for dividends on allocated shares, are returned to Horizon's capital accounts. Retirement programs in other companies that are not ESOP companies result in costs only and no return of capital is realized. Therefore, although the ESOP results in charges to expense like any retirement plan, the ESOP from a capital retention standpoint, is of no cost to Horizon. Further, Horizon receives special tax benefits for ESOP related dividends that are not otherwise available. Because the costs attributable to the ESOP are returned to capital, under Horizon's policy, the amount of such ESOP related additions may be added to net income in computing net income for dividend purposes. As of December 31, 1995, the ESOP owned 32.37% of the outstanding shares of Horizon and is subject to regulation and review by the Federal Reserve Bank as a bank holding company. Also, shares owned in the ESOP are subject to the voting decisions of the individual employees and are not otherwise voted by management. Through their Visions and Values document, the employees have indicated that it is their intent to maintain their ownership in Horizon as an independent community bank. They are committed to doing those things necessary to make it a strong financial institution which brings high value to its stakeholders - its customers, shareholders, employees and communities. In addition to those shares owned by the ESOP, insiders also own other shares which would bring the ownership of insiders to a level of 35.95%, excluding vested stock options, as of December 31, 1995. At December 31, 1995, the ESOP paid $500,000 to Horizon in order to release 17,241 shares which were allocated to participants. CAPITAL RESOURCES - ----------------- The capital resources of Horizon and Bank remain strong and exceed regulatory capital ratios for "well capitalized" banks at December 31, 1995. Stockholders' equity totaled $32.371 million ($3.818 million from ESOP) as of December 31, 1995 compared to $27.413 million ($3.052 million from ESOP) as of December 31, 1994. The increase in stockholders' equity during 1995 is the result of the increase in the market value of investment securities available for sale accounted for as an addition/reduction of stockholders' equity and net income, net of dividends paid. At year end 1995, the ratio of stockholders' equity to assets was 8.80% compared to 7.42% for 1994. Horizon has selectively purchased shares that became available in the market from time to time. During 1995, management purchased 21,562 shares at a cost of $745 thousand compared to 7,041 shares at a cost of $233 thousand and 14,446 shares at a cost of $432 thousand for 1994 and 1993, respectively. Under risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board, Bank is required to maintain a minimum risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% at December 31, 1995. This ratio may be increased based upon ratings assigned by regulatory authorities. The components of risk-based capital are tier 1 capital and tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital is total capital for Bank and tier 2 capital includes the total allowance for loan losses for risk-based capital purposes. Allowance for loan losses is tier 2 capital up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The following table compares Bank's capital ratios at December 31, 1995 with regulatory guidelines: (In thousands) Tier I Tier 2 Risk-based Risk-based Capital Capital Capital balances, 12/31/95 $29,102 $31,682 Required regulatory capital 12,378 20,629 Capital in excess of 16,724 11,053 regulatory minimums Capital ratios, 12/31/95 14.11% 15.36% Regulatory capital ratios for 6.00% 10.00% "well capitalized" required at 12/31/95 Horizon paid dividends in the amount of $1.20 per share in 1995, 1994 and 1993. The dividend pay-out ratio (dividends as a percent of net income) was 29% during 1995 as compared to 34% and 30% in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The dividend pay-out ratio is lower in 1995 because net income includes the Federal and State tax refunds of $1.252 million, including interest. The dividend pay-out ratio excluding the tax refunds would be 50% in 1995. Horizon intends to target a dividend pay-out ratio of 35-45% in the future as determined by quarterly earnings, capital levels and regulatory approvals. Because all of the costs attributable to the ESOP are returned to capital, the amount of such ESOP related additions may be added back to net income in computing dividends under Horizon's policy. For additional information regarding dividend conditions, see Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 31, 1995, management is not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on Horizon's liquidity, capital resources or operations. TRUST The assets under management by the Bank's Trust Department exceeded assets of the Bank during 1995. Assets under management had a book value of $319 million at December 31, 1995 compared to $295 million at December 31, 1994. This represents a 8.1% increase over 1994. The book value and market value of assets held in the Trust Department at December 31, 1995 by asset type are as follows: (In thousands) Book Value Percentage Market Value Percentage ---------- ---------- ------------ ---------- Cash ......................... $ 1,175 .037% $ 1,175 0.32% Money Market Funds ........... 53,023 16.60% 50,832 14.13% Government and Agency Bonds... 80,950 25.34% 82,943 23.05% Municipal Bonds .............. 46,934 14.69% 48,988 13.61% Corporate Bonds .............. 37,005 11.58% 38,173 10.61% Common and Preferred Stock ... 62,821 19.66% 103,367 28.73% Mutual Funds ................. 20,369 6.38% 21,355 5.93% Miscellaneous ................ 17,195 5.38% 13,028 3.62% --------- ------ -------- ---- Total ........................ $ 319,472 100.00 $359,861 100.00% ========= ====== ======== ====== The Trust Department manages a variety of types of investment accounts including personal trusts, agencies, estates and guardianships, corporate agencies and employee benefit agencies and trusts. The total book values of each of these types of accounts at December 31, 1995 are as follows: (In thousands) Book Value Percentage ---------- ---------- Agencies $ 108,647 34.01% Estates and 2,715 0.85% Guardianships Personal Trusts 99,658 31.19% Employee Benefit 92,087 28.83% Corporate Agency 16,235 5.08% Other 130 0.04% ----------- ----------- Total $ 319,472 100.00% =========== =========== Agencies total 34.01% of the book value of the accounts administered by the Trust Department at December 31, 1995. In an agency account, the Trust Department typically holds assets for a client and maintains records of these assets. The Trust Department may or may not have the responsibility for making investment decisions on this type of account. Personal trusts consist of 31.19% of the assets managed by the Trust Department. In a personal trust, the Trust Department is named trustee for the assets in the trust. There may be an estate plan included in this type of trust and the investment decisions may be made by either the Trust Department or the grantor of the personal trust. Employee benefit agencies and trusts are 28.82% of the assets in the Trust Department. Responsibilities of the Trust Department for employee benefit accounts normally consist of maintaining records for each plan participant, complying with regulations governing retirement plans and may include making investment decisions. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- NET INCOME Consolidated net income was $3.039 million or $4.05 per share for 1995 compared to $2.668 million or $3.48 per share and $3.103 million or $4.02 per share in 1994 and 1993, respectively. Because of the unique qualities of ESOP derived costs discussed above, these earnings from a capital retention standpoint could be comparable to a non-ESOP performance of $3.631 million or $4.84 per share for 1995, compared to $2.828 million or $3.68 per share and $3.278 million or $4.24 per share in 1994 and 1993 respectively. In March 1995, Horizon received a Federal income tax refund of $954 thousand plus interest of $298 thousand. The total $1.252 million or $1.67 per share is included in 1995 net income. NET INTEREST INCOME The primary source of earnings for Horizon is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between what Horizon has earned on assets it has invested and the interest paid on deposits and other funding sources. The net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. Horizon's earning assets consist of loans, investment securities and interest bearing balances in banks.

Horizon's average earning assets were $322.551 million in 1995 which is consistent with the previous two years. The net interest margin for 1995 was 4.70% compared to 4.59% and 4.80% in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in net interest margin from 1994 to 1995 was primarily due to interest rate increases during late 1994 and early 1995 that allowed Horizon to obtain higher interest rates on adjustable rate loans and investment securities offset by the increased rates that were paid on deposits and other funding, especially certificates of deposits and short term borrowings. In March, 1995, management increased rates on certificates of deposits, especially those with a maturity of 6 months. While this did result in increasing the total certificates of deposits outstanding, the increase in volume did not compensate for the increase in rates. Therefore, interest rates were lowered in the fourth quarter of 1995. The decrease in the net interest margin from 1993 to 1994 was heavily affected by the extremely volatile interest rates experienced in 1994. This can be seen by the change in short term borrowing rates which increased 146 basis points from 1993 to 1994. Interest rates on both loans and investment securities decreased during this period as well as savings, demand and time deposit rates. Interest income was also negatively affected by the roll off of indirect auto loans as Bank shifted its consumer lending to other product lines which were developed during this period. Bank also benefited from its efforts to supplement interest income with fees on loans to cover much of the related origination and servicing costs. These fees are included in interest income and are substantially less sensitive to lower interest rates. NONINTEREST INCOME The major components of noninterest income consist of service charges on deposit accounts and trust account fees. Service charges on deposit accounts are based upon: a) recovery of direct operating expenses associated with providing the service, b) allowing for a profit margin that provides an adequate return on assets and stockholders' equity and c) competitive factors within Bank's markets. Service charges on deposits were $1.441 million, $1.310 million and $1.288 million for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Net security gains were $46 thousand for 1995 compared to $273 thousand and $526 thousand for 1994 and 1993, respectively. Net security gains in 1995, 1994 and 1993 were the result of investment portfolio repositioning that occurred during these years. Trust fees were $1.769 million in 1995 compared to $1.700 million and $1.630 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense totaled $15.931 million in 1995 compared to $14.609 million and $14.106 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in 1995 was a result of increased salaries and benefits, data processing and equipment expense and training costs offset by a decrease in loss on other real estate owned. The increase in 1994 is the result of increased data processing and equipment expense offset by a decline in loss on other real estate owned and an increase in other expense. Salaries and benefits increased 13.72% during 1995 compared to an increase of 1.98% for 1994 and an increase of 7.58% for 1993. The 1995 increase is primarily the result of an increase in group health insurance costs, termination benefits, ESOP expense and stock appreciation rights expense offset by the decrease in bonus expense. The 1993 increase results from expenses associated with improved financial performance. Bank has developed a staffing model to monitor productivity and determine the optimum number of employees per division and is diligently working towards reaching these levels in early 1996. Full time equivalent employees totaled 195 at December 31, 1995, compared to 245 at December 31, 1994. Data processing and equipment expense increased 4.4% in 1995, increased 27.55% in 1994 and decreased 13.64% in 1993. The 1994 increase is due to expenses associated with conversion to an in-house main frame computer system and other technology related expenses. The 1993 decrease is due to decreases in equipment maintenance expense and Bank's renegotiation of its data processing contract in July, 1990. Total other expenses increased 9.44%, 11.11% and 7.94% in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The primary factors contributing to the 1995 increase in other expense were: 1) $185 thousand increase in external training expenses associated with an intense development program for bank owner-employees, 2) a $68 thousand increase in advertising expenses, 3) a decrease of $333 thousand from the reduction in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) rates, 4) $176 thousand expense related to the Insurance Company and 5) a $68 thousand increase in communication expenses. The primary factors contributing to the 1994 increase in other expense were: 1) an $86 thousand increase in student loan servicing expense associated with student loans purchased and serviced by a third party, 2)a $123 thousand increase in external training expenses associated with an intense development program for bank officers, 3)a $65 thousand increase in outside services, and 4) a $60 thousand decrease in FDIC insurance expense. FDIC deposit insurance assessments decreased 49.48% in 1995 compared with a decrease of 8.19% in 1994 and an increase of 6.75% for 1993. The 1995 decrease was due to a refund of $171 thousand and the reduction of rates to $.04 per $100 of insured deposits. The 1994 decrease is the result of a reduction of Bank's assessment rate to $.23 per $100 of insured deposits and lower outstandings. The 1993 increase is the result of an increase in deposits and assessment rate to $.245 per $100 of insured deposits. During 1993, the FDIC assessed "risk-based" deposit insurance premiums based upon capital levels and regulatory supervisory ratings. As a "well capitalized" financial institution, Bank qualified for the lowest possible assessment in mid-1993 and remains in that category at December 31, 1995. The Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) is now fully funded. Therefore, a nominal fee will be paid in 1996 for FDIC Insurance. INCOME TAXES The income tax provision totaled $167 thousand in 1995 compared to $1.449 million and $1.665 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The effective tax rate was 5.21%, 35.20%, and 34.92% for 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. Horizon received a Federal income tax refund during the first quarter of 1995 totaling $1.252 million including interest of $298 thousand. In 1993, Horizon filed several amended tax returns to obtain refunds of Federal taxes paid in prior periods dating back to 1985. Excluding the portion of the tax refund that was a direct reduction of tax expense in 1995, the effective tax rate would have been 34.97%. LIQUIDITY AND RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT - ----------------------------------------- Management and the Board of Directors meet regularly to review both the liquidity and rate sensitivity position of Horizon. Effective asset and liability management ensures Horizon's ability to monitor the cash flow requirements of depositors along with the demands of borrowers and to measure and manage interest rate risk. Horizon utilizes an interest rate risk assessment model designed to highlight sources of existing interest rate risk and consider the effect of these risks on strategic planning. Management maintains an essentially balanced ratio of interest sensitive assets to liabilities in order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations. LIQUIDITY The Bank maintains a stable base of core deposits provided by long standing relationships with consumers and local businesses. These deposits are the principal source of liquidity for Horizon. Other sources of liquidity for Horizon include earnings, loan repayment, investment security sales and maturities, sale of real estate loans and borrowing relationships with correspondent banks, including the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). During 1995, cash flows were generated from earnings of $3 million, a $16 million decrease in investment securities and a $3 million increase in borrowings with FHLB. Cash flows were used for an $18 million increase in loan demand, a $7 million decrease in deposits and $3 million reduction in short term borrowings. The net cash position decreased $6 million, primarily in cash and due from banks and Federal funds sold. INTEREST SENSITIVITY The degree by which net interest income may fluctuate due to changes in interest rates is monitored by Horizon using computer simulation modeling, incorporating not only the current Gap position but the effect of expected repricing of specific financial assets and liabilities. When repricing opportunities are not properly aligned, net interest income may be affected when interest rates change. Forecasting results of the possible outcomes determine the exposure of interest rate risk inherent in Horizon's balance sheet. The goal is to manage imbalanced positions that arise when the total amount of assets repricing or maturing in a given time period differs significantly from liabilities that are repricing or maturing in the same time period. The theory behind managing the difference between repricing assets and repricing liabilities is to have more assets repricing in a rising rate environment and more liabilities repricing in a declining rate environment. At December 31, 1995, Horizon had a negative Gap position of 1:.95 This indicates that the total amount of assets repricing within one year were 95% of the total amount of liabilities repricing within the same time period. This compares to a positive GAP position of 1.19:1 at December 31, 1994.

These interest-bearing accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal. However, Horizon considers approximately 70% of these deposits to be insensitive to gradual changes in interest rates and generally to behave like deposits with longer maturities based upon historical experience. Accordingly, Horizon has considered the balances of interest-bearing demand and savings account deposits which totaled $89.804 million at December 31, 1995 to be non-rate sensitive. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Several new accounting standards have been issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that will apply in 1996. Statement of Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets," requires a review of long term assets for impairment of recorded value and resulting write-downs if value is impaired. Statement of Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting for mortgage servicing rights," requires recognition of an asset when servicing rights are retained on in-house originated loans that are sold. Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for stock-based compensation," requires proforma disclosure of the effect on net income of valuing future option grants at estimated fair value of the option granted. These statements are not expected to have a material effect on Horizon's financial position or results of operations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS - The consolidated financial statements include Horizon Bancorp (Horizon) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, First Citizens Bank, N.A. (Bank), HBC Insurance Group, Inc. (Insurance Company) and The Loan Store, Inc. Bank is a full-service commercial bank offering a broad range of commercial and retail banking services, corporate and individual trust and agency services, and other services incident to banking. Bank maintains six facilities located exclusively within LaPorte County, Indiana and three facilities located in Porter County, Indiana. The Insurance Company offers credit insurance. The net income generated from the insurance operation are not significant to the overall operations of Horizon. The Loan Store, Inc. is engaged in the business of retail lending and operates one facility in Merrillville, Indiana. Horizon conducts no business except that incident to its ownership of the subsidiaries. BASIS OF REPORTING - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Horizon and subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. USE OF ESTIMATES - Management must make estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements that affect the amounts reported therein and the disclosures provided. Actual results could differ from these estimates. INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE - Horizon & Bank designate a portion of their investment portfolio as available for sale based on management's plans to use such securities for asset and liability management, liquidity, and not to hold such securities as long-term investments. Management repositions the portfolio to take advantage of future expected interest rate trends when Horizon's long-term profitability can be enhanced. Investment securities available for sale and marketable equity securities, comprised primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve stock, are carried at estimated fair value and any net unrealized gains/losses (after tax) on these securities are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Gains/losses on the disposition of securities available for sale are recognized at the time of the transaction and are determined by the specific identification method. INVESTMENT SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY- Investment securities are purchased with the intent and ability to hold to maturity, and are carried at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Gains/losses on the disposition of securities held to maturity are recognized at the time of the transaction and are determined by the specific identification method. INTEREST AND FEES ON LOANS - Interest on commercial, mortgage and installment loans is recognized over the term of the loans based on the principal amount outstanding. When principal or interest is past due 90 days or more, and the loan is not well secured and it is in the process of collection, or when serious doubt exists as to the collectability of a loan, the accrual of interest is discontinued. Loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as a yield adjustment. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK - Bank grants commercial, real estate and consumer loans to customers located primarily in LaPorte County and portions of Porter County in Northwest Indiana. Commercial loans make up approximately 27% of the loan portfolio and are secured by both real estate and business assets. These loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans make up approximately 50% of the loan portfolio and are secured by both commercial and residential real estate. Installment loans make up approximately 23% of the loan portfolio and are primarily secured by consumer assets. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES - An allowance for loan losses is established and maintained because some loans may not be repaid in full. Increases to the allowance are recorded by a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Estimating the risk of loss and the amount of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective. Accordingly, the allowance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover losses that are currently anticipated based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations, including their financial position and collateral values, and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over time. Actual losses may vary from current estimates and the amount of the provision may be either greater than or less than actual net charge-offs. While the largest portion of this reserve is intended to cover loan losses, it is considered a general reserve for all credit-related purposes. LOAN IMPAIRMENT - When analysis determines borrower operating results and financial condition are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements, the loan is evaluated for impairment. Often this is associated with a delay or shortfall in payments of 30 days or more. Loans are generally moved to non-accrual status when 90 days or more past due. These loans are also often considered impaired. Impaired loans, or portions thereof are charged-off when deemed uncollectible. This typically occurs when the loan is 120 or more days past due. Loans are considered impaired if full principal or interest payments are not made in accordance with the original terms of the loan. Impaired loans are measured and carried at the lower of cost or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, at the loan's observable market price, or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Smaller balance homogenous loans are evaluated for impairment in aggregate. Such loans include residential first mortgage loans secured by 1- 4 family residences, residential construction loans and automobile, home equity and second mortgages. Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other properties are evaluated individually for impairment. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT - Buildings and major improvements are capitalized and depreciated using primarily the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 40 years. Furniture and equipment are capitalized and depreciated using primarily the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 20 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED - Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less selling costs, and is included in other assets. Any reduction to fair value from the carrying value of the related loans at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent reductions in fair value, and gains or losses on sales, are recognized in earnings in the period the reduction in value is determined or the sale is consummated. Other real estate owned, net of allowance, included in other assets, totaled $3,117,000 and $3,929,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. (See Note 6) INCOME TAXES - Horizon files annual consolidated income tax returns. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes " requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes. Its objective is to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year, and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The measurement of tax assets and liabilities is based on enacted tax laws. Deferred tax assets may be reduced, if necessary, by the amount of such benefits that are not expected to be realized based on available evidence. TRUST ASSETS AND INCOME - Property, other than cash deposits, held in a fiduciary or agency capacity is not included in the consolidated balance sheets since such property is not owned by Horizon. Income from trust activities is recognized on a cash basis, which is not materially different from the accrual method. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE AND DIVIDENDS DECLARED PER COMMON SHARE - Earnings per common share have been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The number of shares used in the computation of earnings per share is 750,286 for 1995, 767,419 for 1994 and 772,525 for 1993. Regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by a national bank to its parent holding company without prior approval of the OCC. According to these regulations, as of December 31, 1995, approximately $4,357,000 of additional dividends may be paid by Bank to Horizon without prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency. Additionally, the Federal Reserve Board limits the amount of dividends that may be paid by Horizon to its stockholders under its capital adequacy guidelines. CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents is defined to include cash and due from banks, money market investments and Federal funds sold with maturities of 1 day or less. Horizon reports net cash flows for customer loan transactions, deposit transactions, short-term investments and short-term borrowings. RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 and 1993 financial statements to be comparable to 1995. NOTE 2 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT THE FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The estimated fair value amounts were determined using available market information, current pricing information applicable to Horizon and various valuation methodologies. Where market quotations were not available, considerable management judgment was involved in the determination of estimated fair values. Therefore, the estimated fair value of financial instruments shown below may not be representative of the amounts at which they could be exchanged in a current or future transaction. Due to the inherent uncertainties of expected cash flows of financial instruments, the use of alternate valuation assumptions and methods could have a significant effect on the derived estimated fair value amounts. The estimated fair values of financial instruments, as shown below, are not intended to reflect the estimated liquidation or market value of the Corporation taken as a whole. The disclosed fair value estimates are limited to Horizon's significant financial instruments at December 31, 1995 and 1994. These include financial instruments recognized as assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as well as certain off-balance sheet financial instruments. The estimated fair values shown below do not include any valuation of assets and liabilities which are not financial instruments as defined by SFAS No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", such as the value of real property, the value of core deposit intangibles, the value of mortgage servicing rights, nor the value of anticipated future business. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS - The carrying amounts approximate fair value. INVESTMENT SECURITIES - For debt and marketable equity securities available for sale and held to maturity , fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. For those securities where a quoted market price is not available, carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value based upon comparison with similar securities. NET LOANS - The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. INTEREST RECEIVABLE/PAYABLE - The carrying amounts approximate fair value. DEPOSITS - The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts, and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturity. NOTE 2 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT THE FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND OBLIGATION TO ESOP - The carrying amounts approximate fair value. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES - Rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing advances. COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT - The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. Due to the short-term nature of these agreements, the fair market value is not material. (See Note 17) The estimated fair values of Horizon's financial instruments at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows: (Thousands) 1995 1995 1994 1994 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value ------ ----- ------ ----- Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 22,066 $ 22,066 $ 28,134 $ 28,134 Short-term investments 206 206 100 98 Investment securities 87,109 87,144 98,617 97,082 Net loans 238,885 240,440 221,067 216,020 Interest receivable 2,900 2,900 2,807 2,807 Financial Liabilities: Deposits: Noninterest-bearing $ 45,479 $ 45,479 $ 40,686 $ 40,686 Interest-bearing 243,505 244,372 255,098 252,603 --------- --------- --------- --------- Total deposits 288,984 289,851 295,784 293,289 Short-term borrowings and obligation to ESOP 21,569 21,569 24,693 24,693 Federal Home Loan Bank advances 21,400 21,428 18,400 17,803 Interest payable 567 567 466 466 NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities available for sale and held to maturity are as follows: (Thousands) Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value ---- ----- ------ ----- AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT DECEMBER 31 1995: U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government agency securities $ 7,165 $ 16 $ $ 7,181 Other securities 1,046 (8) 1,038 ------- ------- ------ ------- Subtotal 8,211 16 (8) 8,219 GNMA 9,061 154 (8) 9,207 FHLMC 21,165 395 (9) 21,551 FNMA 32,491 374 (19) 32,846 -------- ------- ------ -------- Total mortgage-backed securities 62,717 923 (36) 63,604 Total debt securities 70,928 939 (44) 71,823 Equity securities 3,235 (116) 3,119 -------- ------- ------ -------- Total investment securities available for sale $ 74,163 $ 939 $ (160) $ 74,942 ======== ======= ====== ======== HELD TO MATURITY AT DECEMBER 31, 1995: U.S. Government agency securities 3,164 2 3,166 Obligations of states and political subdivisions 9,003 55 (22) 9,036 -------- ------ ------- -------- Total debt securities held to maturity $ 12,167 $ 57 $ (22) $ 12,202 ======== ====== ======= ======== AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT DECEMBER 31, 1994: U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government agency securities $ 18,034 $ $ (289) $ 17,745 Other securities 2,078 (92) 1,986 -------- ------ ------- Subtotal 20,112 (381) 19,731 GNMA 10,000 (724) 9,276 FHLMC 28,067 (1,471) 26,596 FNMA 25,637 (1,180) 24,457 -------- ------- ------- Total mortgage-backed securities 63,704 (3,375) 60,329 Total debt securities 83,816 (3,756) 80,060 Equity securities 3,249 (167) 3,082 -------- ------- ------- ------- Total investment securities available for sale $ 87,065 $ $ (3,923) $ 83,142 ======== ======= ======= ======== HELD TO MATURITY AT DECEMBER 31, 1994: U.S. Government agency securities 3,521 3,521 Obligations of states and political subdivisions 11,954 3 (253) 11,704 ------ ------- ---- -------- Total debt securities held to maturity $ 15,475 $ 3 (253 $ 15,225 ======== ======= ==== ======== NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY (Continued) The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at December 31, 1995, by contractual maturity, are shown below.

At December 31, 1995 and 1994, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies and corporations, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders' equity. Investment securities and investment securities available for sale with an amortized cost of $45,485,000 and $44,697,000 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, were pledged to secure public and trust deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. NOTE 4 - LOANS Loans as presented in the consolidated balance sheets are comprised of the following classifications: (Thousands) December 31 1995 1994 ---- ---- Commercial loans 66,125 $67,177 Real estate mortgages 119,739 105,512 Installment loans 55,798 50,933 --------- --------- Total loans $ 241,662 $ 223,622 ========= ========= Loans to directors and executive officers of Horizon and Bank, including associates of such persons, amounted to $4,737,000 and $4,674,000, as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. During 1995 new loans or advances were $1,041,000 and loan payments were $978,000. NOTE 5 - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The following is an analysis of the activity in the allowance for loan losses account: (Thousands) 1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- Balance at beginning of year $ 2,555 $ 2,310 $ 1,997 Provision charged to expense 165 276 Recoveries credited to the allowance 515 301 593 Losses charged to the allowance (293) (221) (556) ------- ------- ------- Balance at end of year $ 2,777 $ 2,555 $ 2,310 ======= ======= ======= At December 31, 1995 and 1994, loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest approximated $533,000 and $474,000, respectively. Loans on which the recognition of interest has been discontinued or reduced totaled $668,000, $2,794,000 and $1,687,000 at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Interest income not recognized on these loans totaled approximately $55,000, $264,000, and $133,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Horizon adopted SFAS No.'s 114 and 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," effective January 1, 1995. These statements provide guidance as to when loans should be classified and reported as impaired and address how the allowance for loan losses related to these loans should be determined. Any shortfall in the estimated value of an impaired loan compared with recorded investment of a loan, is identified as an allocated portion of the allowance for loan losses and is one of the factors considered by management in their overall assessment of allowance adequacy. The impact of adopting this statement was not significant to the financial condition of Horizon or Bank. NOTE 6 - ALLOWANCE FOR OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED The following is an analysis of the activity in the allowance for other real estate owned included in other assets: (Thousands) ----------- 1995 1994 1993 Balance at beginning of year $ 1,801 $ 1,988 $ 2,037 Loss on Other Real Estate Owned charged to expense 48 59 650 Losses charged to the allowance (774) (246) (699) ------- ------- ------- Balance end of year $ 1,075 $ 1,801 $ 1,988 ======= ======= ======= NOTE 7 - PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT-NET Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and consist of the following: (Thousands) December 31 1995 1994 ---- ---- Land $ 2,014 $ 1,917 Buildings and improvements 10,328 10,180 Furniture and equipment 5,187 5,157 -------- -------- Total 17,529 17,254 Accumulated depreciation (6,502) (6,809) -------- -------- Premises and equipment, net $ 11,027 $ 10,445 ======== ======== Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 totaled $892,000, $725,000 and $605,000, respectively.

NOTE 11 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN - RETIREMENT PLAN Horizon maintains an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) as a retirement plan that currently covers substantially all employees. The ESOP is noncontributory and each eligible employee is vested according to a schedule based upon years of service. The ESOP borrowed $3,400,000 in 1985 for the purpose of purchasing 137,259 shares of Horizon common stock at $26.85 per share from former Board members and their families. Under terms of the loan agreement, unallocated shares held with the Bank, as ESOP trustee, were pledged as collateral. Horizon also guaranteed the loan, and was obligated to contribute sufficient cash to the ESOP to repay the loan principal and interest. As additional collateral, Horizon pledged 51% of the issued and outstanding stock of Bank. The first payment on the loan was made in October 1985, and the last scheduled payment was paid in 1995. In early 1993, the Compensation Committee of the Board initially discussed the continuation of Horizon's employee retirement benefit program which is maintained as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. In August 1993, the Board of Directors approved the continuation of this plan and authorized the transfer of 172,414 shares of the Company's stock into the Employee Stock Ownership Plan for future allocation to employee retirement accounts. Upon approval by all the required regulatory agencies, Horizon issued $5,000,006 in stock on August 26, 1994 at a price of $29 per share, the market value of the stock at the time the transaction was approved. Under Federal regulation, the Employee Stock Ownership Trust may pay a value equal to or less than market value for acquired shares, but not more. Under Statement of Position (SOP) 93-6 "Employers Accounting for Employees Stock Ownership Plans" issued by the Accounting Standards Division of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, these shares are not included in outstanding shares for the purposes of computing earnings per share and book value per share until they are committed-to-be-released for allocation to employee retirement accounts. The provisions of SOP 93-6 were adopted in conjunction with the continuation of the ESOP and affected ESOP expense beginning January 1, 1995. Below are the transactions affecting ESOP expense and cash contributions to the ESOP in 1995, 1994 and 1993: (in thousands) 1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- Dividends paid on unallocated ESOP $207 -- -- shares Market value increase of 17,241 shares 172 -- -- released Other contributions 213 158 175 --- --- --- Total ESOP expense included in $592 $158 $175 salaries and benefits ==== ==== ==== Total cash contributions made to ESOP $207 $298 $226 during the year ==== ==== ==== Below are the transactions affecting the ESOP equity accounts for 1995:

NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN The Employee Thrift Plan (Plan) provides that all employees of Bank with the requisite hours of service are eligible for the Plan. Bank fully matches the first 2% and 50% of the subsequent 4% of individual employee contributions. Employee voluntary contributions are vested at all times and Bank contributions are fully vested after six years. Bank's 1995, 1994 and 1993 expense related to the thrift plan totaled $172,000, $124,000 and $157,000, respectively, while contributions were $172,000, $160,000 and $143,000, respectively.

STOCK OPTIONS Horizon maintains a Nonqualified Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (Plan) under which options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) may be granted to certain officers and employees. SARs entitle eligible employees to receive cash, stock or a combination of cash and stock totaling the excess, on the date of exercise, of the fair market value of the shares of common stock covered by the option over the option exercise price. The underlying stock options are deemed to have been exercised upon exercise of the SARs. No options remain available for grant at December 31, 1995 and 1994, however, outstanding options may be exercised on a cumulative percentage basis until their expiration. Horizon recognizes compensation expense related to the plan on a periodic basis based on the difference between the excess, of the fair market value of the shares of common stock over the exercise price for SARs and those options exercised during the year. Horizon's expense related to the Plan was $400,000 for 1995, $217,000 for 1994, and $101,000 for 1993. A summary of transactions for the plan follows: --------Shares------- Available Options For Grant Outstanding Exercise Price --------- ----------- -------------- Balance: December 31, 1990 10,000 75,000 $22.50 - $31.50 Granted (Expire January 27, 2001) (10,000) 10,000 $13.50 Forfeitures 500 (500) $13.50 - $31.50 ------- ------ --------------- Balance: December 31, 1991 500 84,500 $13.50 - $31.50 Forfeitures 600 (600) $13.50 Expirations (1,100) ------- ------ --------------- Balance: December 31, 1992 0 83,900 $13.50 - $31.50 Exercised ======= (900) $28.00 Balance: December 31, 1993 83,000 $13.50 - $31.50 ------ --------------- Balance: December 31, 1994 83,000 $13.50 - $31.50 Exercised (250) $34.75 Balance: December 31, 1995 82,750 $13.50 - $31.50 ====== =============== NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES Because of the nature of its activities, Horizon is subject to pending and threatened legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. In management's opinion, after consultation with counsel, none of the litigation to which Horizon or any of its subsidiaries is a party will have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of Horizon. Bank was required to have approximately $4,634,000 of cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve and clearing balance requirements at December 31, 1995. These balances are included in cash and cash equivalents and do not earn interest. Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the ordinary course of business to meet financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit. Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Bank follows the same credit policy to make such commitments as is followed for those loans recorded in the financial statements. As of December 31, 1995, commitments to make loans amounted to approximately $39,886,000 and commitments under outstanding standby letters of credit amounted to approximately $1,285,000. Since many commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit expire without being used, the amount does not necessarily represent future cash advances. No losses are anticipated as a result of these transactions. Collateral obtained upon exercise of the commitment is determined using management's credit evaluation of the borrower and may include real estate, vehicles, business assets, deposits and other items. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Horizon Bancorp: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HORIZON BANCORP (an Indiana Corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, and 1994 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 HORIZON BANCORP and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP Chicago, Illinois, February 28 , 1996 MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements and related notes on the preceding pages. The statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles appropriate in the circumstances and include amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. Financial information elsewhere in the Annual Report is consistent with that in the financial statements. In meeting its responsibility for the accuracy of the financial statements, management relies on the Company's system of internal accounting controls. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are properly recorded to permit the preparation of appropriate financial information. The system of internal controls is supplemented by a program of internal audits to independently evaluate the adequacy and application of financial and operating controls and compliance with Company policies and procedures. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors meets periodically with management, the independent accountants and the internal auditors to ensure that each is properly discharging its responsibilities with regard to the financial statements and internal accounting controls. The independent accountants have full and free access to the Audit Committee and meet with it to discuss auditing and financial reporting matters. The financial statements in the Annual Report have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, for 1995, 1994, and 1993. Their audits were conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and included a consideration of internal accounting controls, tests of accounting records and other audit procedures to the extent necessary to allow them to express their opinion on the fairness of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
