                                     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.



<PAGE>


          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.  (See  additional  discussion in
     Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis in  Registrant's  Annual  Report to
     Shareholders, Exhibit 13.)

     The decrease in  nonaccrual  loans in 1995 is primarily  due to three loans
     which  were  returned  to an  accruing  basis.  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.

     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.

          31, 1995 which would be required to be disclosed under Item III C.1 or

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.

27     FINANCIAL DATA SCHEDULE


HORIZON BANCORP 1995 ANNUAL REPORT 

     
Our goal in 1995 was to continue  positioning  Horizon Bancorp to produce higher
returns   and   sustainable   earnings   growth   for   our   shareholders   and
owner-employees.  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.


<PAGE>



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.



<PAGE>


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.

The  acceptance  and  management  of credit risk is an  integral  part of Bank's
business as a financial intermediary. 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:

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:

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:

Small Business loans increased 9.6% in 1995.  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 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

                              ======   ======  ======

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.

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:

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:

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.
<PAGE>

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%.

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.

Included in the gap analysis are certain  interest-bearing  demand  accounts and
savings  accounts.  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.

     

<PAGE>

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.



<PAGE>

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.



<PAGE>

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)

    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 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:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 16 - 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:

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.
