5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding
commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, which are not
reflected in the financial statements.  Management does not
anticipate any material loss as a result of these transactions.



                          PART I Item 2
                HORIZON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements includes
Horizon Bancorp, Inc. (referred to herein both separately and on
a consolidated basis as the "Company") and its wholly owned
subsidiary Horizon Bank & Trust, SSB (the "Bank").  All
significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated
in consolidation.  The Company is a savings & loan holding
company which owns all of the capital stock of the Bank and has
no other material operations.  The Company's results of
operations are primarily dependent on the difference or "spread"
between the average yield earned from loans, investment
securities and the average rate paid on deposits and borrowed
funds.  The interest rate spread is affected by regulatory,
economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates,
loan demand and deposit flows.  The Company is subject to
interest rate risk to the degree that its interest earning assets
mature or reprice at different times or on a different basis than
its interest bearing liabilities.  The Company's net income is
also affected by the level of non-interest income such as the
gain on sale of loans, the gain on the sale of servicing rights,
deposit fees and the level of non-interest expenses, such as
compensation and benefits occupancy expenses, legal and
professional fees, data processing expenses, advertising and
business promotion and other general and administrative expenses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Comparison of Financial Condition as of July 31, 1996 to April
30, 1996.  The Company's total assets at July 31, 1996 of $140.5
million increased by $9.6 million, or 7.3%, from $130.9 million
at April 30, 1996.  This increase was due primarily to increases
in  investment securities of $2.1 million and loans receivable,
including loans held for sale of $6.5 million.

The Company's total liabilities at July 31, 1996 of $128.9
million increased by $9.2 million, or 7.7% from $119.7 million at
April 30, 1996.  This increase was due primarily to an increase
of $8.9 million in total deposits.  The increase in deposits
reflects the Company's ongoing efforts to attract non-interest
bearing commercial checking accounts, NOW accounts, and money
market accounts as a significant source of deposits.  In
addition, the Company's instituted a certificate of deposit
promotion which resulted in a $3.0 million increase in
certificates of deposit.

The Company's retained earnings at July 31, 1996 of $4.7 million
increased $451,000, or 10.5%, from $4.3 million at April 30,
1996.  This resulted from earnings of $507,000 and the payment of
$56,000 in dividends to shareholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended July
31, 1996 and July 31, 1995.  The Company had net income of
$507,000 for the three month period ended July 31, 1996 as
compared to $407,000 for the three month period ended July 31,
1995.  This increase is discussed in more detail in the following
analysis.

Interest Income.  Interest income from loans increased $365,000,
or 15.1%, from $2.4 million for the three month period ended July
31, 1995 to $2.8 million for the three month period ended July
31, 1996.  The increase was due to an increase in the average
loan portfolio balance of $22.0 million which was partially
offset by a decrease in the average yield from 12.6% to 11.3% for
the same respective periods.  The decrease in the average yield
related primarily to a .75% increase in the Company's base
lending rate which is tied to the Wall Street Journal prime rate
index.  A substantial portion of the Company's loan portfolio is
indexed to the Company's base lending rate as it changes.  The
Company was also subjected to interest rate competition from
other lending institutions in its market which resulted in
reduced rates on new loan originations in order to stay
competitive.  Interest and dividends on investments increased
$49,000, or 23.9%, from $205,000 for the three month period ended
July 31, 1995 to $253,000 for the three month period ended July
31, 1996.  The increase was due primarily to an increase in
investment securities portfolio of $6.9 million.  This was
partially offset by a decrease in the average interest bearing
balances at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. Due to market
conditions and a change in the type of investment securities, the
overall yield decreased from 8.1% for the three months ended July
31, 1995 to 5.7% for the three months ended July 31, 1996.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense on deposit liabilities
increased $82,000, or 15.7%, from $522,000 for the three months
ended July 31, 1995 to $604,000 for the three months ended July
31, 1996.  The increase was due primarily to an increase in the
average amount of interest bearing deposits from $60.2 million
for the three months ended July 31, 1995 to $75.1 million for the
three months ended July 31, 1996.  This was partially offset by a
decrease in the average rate paid from 3.4% to 3.2% for the same
respective periods.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for losses on loans was
$110,000 for the three month ended July 31, 1996 and $60,000 for
the three months ended July 31, 1995.  The Company's allowance
for loan losses was based on management's analysis of historic
loan losses, current economic conditions, the level of
non-performing loans and management's current belief that the
allowance for loan losses reflect an adequate reserve against
potential losses.  Although the Company maintains its allowance
for loan losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to
provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that
future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that
additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in
future periods.  In addition, the Company's determination as to
the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review
by the regulatory agencies which can order the establishment of
additional general and specific allowances.

Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income increased $320,000 to a
total of $826,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1996
compared to $506,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1995. 
Fees and charges related to loans and deposits increased
$185,000.  Most of the increase was due to an overall increase in
deposit fees of $130,000 which was the result of an increase in
the number of personal transaction accounts of approximately
2,900 and an increase in the number of commercial transaction
accounts of approximately 700.  Gain on the sale of loans
increased $107,000 to a total of $214,000 for the three months
ended July 31, 1996 compared to $107,000 for the three months
ended July 31, 1995.  This increase resulted primarily from an
increased volume of sales of Small Business Administration (SBA)
guaranteed loans.

Non-interest Expenses.  Non-interest expense increased $408,000
to a total of $2.3 million for the three months ended July 31,
1996 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended July 31,
1995.  Compensation and benefits increased $275,000 to a total of
$1.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 1996 compared to
$903,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1995.  This increase
resulted primarily from a general increase in employee salary
levels, both for merit and as a response to a competitive job
market in the Central Texas area, and an increase in the
averagenumber of full time equivalent employees from 107 to 118.  
In addition, incentive compensation associated with origination
of SBA loans increased approximately 20.0%.  Service bureau and
processing costs increased $35,000 primarily due to the
substantial increase in the number of workstations accessing the
service bureau as well as a substantial increase in the
transaction volume.  Depreciation and amortization expense
increased $31,000 primarily due to the opening of a new branch
and the relocation of a branch.  Occupancy expense increased
$29,000 due primarily to the aforementioned opening and
relocation of branches.  Credit card operations expense increased
$28,000 (expenses uniquely associated with credit card program
not included in other line items) due to a significant growth in
credit card accounts and balances.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $92,000, or
41.8%, from $220,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1995 to
$312,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1996.  The increase
was due to an increase in taxable income for the current period
versus the prior period.

Liquidity Requirements.  Texas law specifically requires that the
Bank maintain a minimum of 10.0% of its assets in cash, balances
in a Federal Reserve Bank or passed through a Federal Home Loan
Bank or other depository institution to a federal reserve bank or
other readily marketable investments, including unemcumbered
federal government sponsored enterprise securities.  At July 31,
1996 the Bank's regulatory liquidity ratio was 24.98%.

Regulatory Capital.  The Bank continued to be in compliance with
all FDIC regulatory capital requirements at July 31, 1996.  See
Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Asset Quality.  Non-performing assets, which consist of
non-accrual loans, foreclosed assets, and repossessed assets,
decreased during the three months ended July 31, 1996 to $12,000
compared to $13,000 at April 30, 1996.  The following table sets
forth information with respect to the Company's non-performing
assets:

PROPOSED REGULATORY ACTION REGARDING INSURANCE ASSESSMENTS

The deposits of the Bank are presently insured by the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"), which together with the
Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF"), are the two insurance funds
administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC").  Effective in the third quarter of 1995, the FDIC
revised the premium schedule for BIF-insured banks to provide a
range of .04% to .31% of deposits (as compared to the current
range of .23% to .31% of deposits for SAIF-insured institutions). 
In addition, in November 1995, the FDIC further revised the
schedule to provide a range of 0% to .27% (with a minimum annual
premium of $2,000), effective January 1996.  As a result, BIF
members generally pay significantly lower premiums than SAIF
members.  While the magnitude of the competitive advantage of
BIF-insured institutions and its impact on the Bank's results of
operations cannot be determined at this time, the decrease in BIF
premiums could place the Bank at a material competitive
disadvantage should BIF members seek to price deposits higher or
loan products lower than SAIF members.  The Bank currently
qualifies for the minimum SAIF premium level of .23% of deposits.

Proposed federal legislation provides for a one-time assessment
estimated to be .80% to .90%, to be imposed on all SAIF
assessable deposits as of March 31, 1995, including those held by
commercial banks, and for BIF deposit insurance premiums to be
used to pay the Financing Corporation ("FICO") bond interest on a
pro rata basis together with SAIF premiums in order to
recapitalize the SAIF and eliminate the disparity.  The BIF and
the SAIF would be merged effective January 1, 1998.  If the
legislation is enacted, it is anticipated the assessment would be
payable in the fall of 1996.

As part of the legislation, the Congress is considering requiring
all federal thrift institutions, such as the Bank, to either
convert to a national bank or a state-chartered depository
institution by January 1, 1998.  In addition, the Company would
no longer be regulated as a thrift holding company, but rather as
a bank holding company.

Certain aspects of the legislation remain unresolved and
therefore no assurance can be given as to what extent it will
affect the Company and the Bank.  In addition, the enactment of
such legislation may have the effect of immediately reducing the
capital of SAIF member institutions by the amount of the special
assessment.  Nevertheless, management does not believe that this
one-time charge to the Bank, if incurred, will have a material
adverse effect on the Bank's overall financial condition.
