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 1,198,020 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 remained a
one-bank holding company with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Horizon Bank, N.A.
("Bank") and Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Horizon Trust & Investment
Management, N.A. ("Horizon Trust") and Horizon Insurance Services, Inc.
("Horizon Insurance") and nonbank subsidiaries, HBC Insurance Group
("Insurance Company") and The Loan Store, Inc., ("Loan Store").

b) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
The Registrant's main business is commercial banking and has no other
segments.

c) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Registrant's business is that incident to its 100% ownership of Bank
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, commercial and personal property and casualty
insurance services and other services incident to banking. Bank maintains
four facilities located within La Porte County, Indiana, three facilities
located in Porter County, Indiana and a loan production office in Lake
County, Indiana. At December 31, 2001, Bank had total assets of
$587,945,000 and total deposits of $419,599,000. Aside from the stock of
Bank and Insurance Company, the Registrant's only other significant assets
are cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $210,000, and
dividends receivable of approximately $300,000 at December 31, 2001.

The business of the Registrant, Bank, Horizon Trust, Horizon Insurance,
Insurance Company and Loan Store 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 who would have a
materially adverse effect on the business of the Registrant. Revenues from
loans accounted for 72% in 2001,76% in 2000, and 69% in 1999 of the total
consolidated revenue. Revenues from investment securities accounted for 9%
in 2001, 10% in 2000, and 14% in 1999 of total consolidated revenue.

The Registrant has no employees and there are approximately 209 full and
part-time persons employed by Bank, Horizon Trust and Horizon Insurance as
of December 31, 2001.

A high degree of competition exists in all major areas where the Registrant
engages in business. Bank's primary market consists of La Porte and 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.

Based on deposits as of June 30, 2001, the Bank was the largest of the 11
bank and thrift institutions with offices in La Porte County with 32.7%of
the deposits and the seventh sargest of the 12 institutions with offices in
Porter County with 4.2% of deposits (source: FDIC Summary of Deposits
Market Share Reports available at www3.fdic.gov/sod).

The Insurance Company offers credit life and accident and health insurance.
The Loan Store, Inc. sold the majority of its assets in August 1999 and is
an inactive subsidiary. The net income generated from the Insurance Company
is not significant to the overall operations of the Registrant.


SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
The Registrant is registered as a bank holding company and is subject to
the supervision of, and regulation by, the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") under the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956, as amended ("BHC Act"). The Federal Reserve has issued
regulations under the BHC Act requiring a bank holding company to serve as
a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. It
is the policy of the Federal Reserve that, pursuant to this requirement, a
bank holding company should stand ready to use its resources to provide
adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial
stress or adversity.

The BHC Act requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to acquire
more than a 5% voting interest of any bank or bank holding company.
Additionally, the BHC Act restricts the Registrant's nonbanking activities
to those which are determined by the Federal Reserve to be closely related
to banking and a proper incident thereto.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA"), a bank holding company is required to guarantee the compliance
of any insured depository institution subsidiary that may become
"undercapitalized" (as defined in FDICIA) with the terms of any capital
restoration plan filed by such subsidiary with its appropriate federal bank
regulatory agency.

Bank holding companies are required to comply with the Federal Reserve's
risk-based capital guidelines. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") have
adopted risk-based capital ratio guidelines to which depository
institutions under their respective supervision are subject. The guidelines
establish a systematic analytical framework that makes regulatory capital
requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking
organizations. Risk-based capital ratios are determined by allocating
assets and specified off-balance sheet commitments to four risk weighted
categories, with higher levels of capital being required for the categories
perceived as representing greater risk. Registrant's affiliate bank
exceeded the risk-based capital requirements of the FDIC and OCC as of
December 31, 2001. For the Registrant's regulatory capital ratios and
regulatory requirements as of December 31, 2001, see the information under
the Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition section of
the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2001,
located in Exhibit 13, attached hereto and incorporated by reference.

The Registrant's affiliate bank is (i) subject to the provisions of the
National Bank Act; (ii) supervised, regulated, and examined by the OCC; and
(iii) subject to the rules and regulations of the OCC, Federal Reserve, and
the FDIC.

A substantial portion of the Registrant's cash revenue is derived from
dividends paid to it by its affiliate bank.

Both federal and state law extensively regulates various aspects of the
banking business, such as reserve requirements, truth-in-lending and
truth-in-savings disclosures, equal credit opportunity, fair credit
reporting, trading in securities, and other aspects of banking operations.

Branching by the Registrant's affiliate bank is subject to the jurisdiction
and requires notice to or the prior approval of the OCC.

The Registrant and its affiliate bank are subject to the Federal Reserve
Act, which restricts financial transactions between banks and affiliated
companies. The statute limits credit transactions between banks, affiliated
companies and its executive officers and its affiliates. The statute
prescribes terms and conditions for bank affiliate transactions deemed to
be consistent with safe and sound banking practices, and restricts the
types of collateral security permitted in connection with a bank's
extension of credit to an affiliate.






4
FDICIA accomplished a number of sweeping changes in the regulation of
depository institutions, including the Registrant's affiliate bank. FDICIA
requires, among other things, federal bank regulatory authorities to take
"prompt corrective action" with respect to banks which do not meet minimum
capital requirements. FDICIA further directs that each federal banking
agency prescribe standards for depository institutions and depository
institution holding companies relating to internal controls, information
systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting,
interest rate exposure, asset growth, management compensation, a maximum
ratio of classified assets to capital, minimum earnings sufficient to
absorb losses, a minimum ratio of market value to book value of publicly
traded shares, and such other standards as the agency deems appropriate.

The deposits of the Registrant's affiliate bank are insured up to $100,000
per insured account by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), which is
administered by the FDIC. Accordingly, the Registrant's affiliated bank
pays deposit insurance premiums to both BIF and SAIF.

The Riegle-Neal Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of
1994 ("Act") contains seven titles pertaining to community development and
home ownership protection, small business capital formation, paperwork
reduction and regulatory improvement, money laundering, and flood
insurance. The applicable federal supervisory agencies continue to
promulgate regulations implementing the Act which apply to Registrant's
affiliate bank.

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994
allows for interstate banking and interstate branching without regard to
whether such activity is permissible under state law. Bank holding
companies may now acquire banks anywhere in the United States subject to
certain state restrictions.

On November 12, 1999, the President signed into law comprehensive
legislation that modernizes the financial services industry for the first
time in decades. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA") permits bank holding
companies to conduct essentially unlimited securities and insurance
activities, in addition to other activities determined by the Federal
Reserve to be related to financial services. As a result of the GLBA, the
Registrant may underwrite and sell securities and insurance. It may
acquire, or be acquired by, brokerage firms and insurance underwriters. The
Registrant does not anticipate significant changes in its products or
services as a result of the GLBA.

In addition to the matters discussed above, the Registrant's affiliate bank
is subject to additional regulation of its activities, including a variety
of consumer protection regulations affecting its lending, deposit, and
collection activities and regulations affecting secondary mortgage market
activities. The earnings of financial institutions are also affected by
general economic conditions and prevailing interest rates, both domestic
and foreign, and by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States
government and its various agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve.

Additional legislative and administrative actions affecting the banking
industry may be considered by the United States Congress, state
legislatures, and various regulatory agencies, including those referred to
above. It cannot be predicted with certainty whether such legislative or
administrative action will be enacted or the extent to which the banking
industry in general or the Registrant and its affiliate bank in particular
would be affected.

nonaccrual mortgage loans of $842 thousand and increase in nonaccrual
commercial loans of $321 thousand. The increase in nonaccrual loans in
1999 is primarily due to the addition of 4 mortgage loans totaling
$375 thousand, 8 consumer loans totaling $252 thousand and 7
commercial loans totaling $546 thousand.

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. The officer
responsible for the loan, the senior lending officer and the senior
collections officer must review all loans placed on nonaccrual
status. The senior collections officer monitors the loan portfolio
for any potential problem loans.

2. Potential Problem Loans

Impaired loans for which the discounted cash flows or collateral
value exceeded the carrying value of the loan totaled $1,028,000 and
$609,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The allowance
for impaired loans, included in the Bank's allowance for loan losses
totaled $242,000 and $40,000 at those respective dates. The average
balance of impaired loans during 2001 and 2000 was $1,168,000 and
$609,000, respectively. No interest income was recorded or received
during either year on impaired loans. There were no loans classified
as impaired during 1999.

3. Foreign outstandings

None

4. Loan Concentrations

As of December 31, 2001, there are no significant concentrations of
loans exceeding 10% of total loans other than those disclosed in
Item III above.

5. Other Interest-Bearing Assets

There are no other interest-bearing assets as of December 31, 2001,
which would be required to be disclosed under Item III C.1 or 2 if
such assets were loans.

</TABLE>

The provision for loan losses decreased in 2001 due to favorable
experience in the mortgage warehouse business. The provision for loan
losses in 2000 increased as a result of entering the mortgage
warehousing business that includes sub-prime mortgages. Management
expects charge-offs in all other portfolios to remain at the current
levels.

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.

In 1998, $277 thousand of the increase in the allowance allocated to
installment loans is related to loans originated at the Loan Store. The
majority of the assets of The Loan Store were sold in August 1999. The
remaining increase in the allocation associated with installment loans is
related to the methodology adopted in 1996 in which the higher of the Bank
or the industry average charge-off rate is utilized. The industry average
historical rate was higher than Bank's historical charge-off rate in 1998
resulting in an additional allocation to the installment loan portfolio of
$160 thousand.

In 1999, Horizon began a mortgage warehousing program. This program is
described in the "Management Discussion and Analysis" and Note 1 of the
Registrant's Annual Report to Shareholders, Exhibit 13. In 2001, Horizon
continued to grow the mortgage warehousing portfolio, however, the
allowance for loan losses associated with this line of business was
decreased due to favorable loss experience.

RISK FACTORS

A cautionary note about forward-looking statements. In its oral and written
communication, the Registrant from time to time includes forward-looking
statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such forward looking statements can include statements about estimated
cost savings, plans and objectives for future operations, and expectations about
performance as well as economic and market conditions and trends. They often can
be identified by the use of words like "expect," "may," "could," "intend,"
"project," "estimate," "believe," or "anticipate." The Registrant may include
forward-looking statements in filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such as this Form 10-K, in other written materials, and in oral
statements made by senior management to analysts, investors, representatives of
the media, and others. It is intended that these forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date they are made, and the Registrant undertakes no
obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or
circumstances after the date on which the forward looking statement is made or
to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated





11
events. By their nature, forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and
are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors. Actual results may
differ materially from those contained in the forward looking statement. The
discussion in







12
the 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders under the caption "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition,"
incorporated in Item 6 of this Form 10-K, lists some of the factors which could
cause the Registrant's actual results to vary materially from those in any
forward-looking statements. Your attention is directed to this discussion which
can be found in Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K. Other uncertainties which could
affect the Registrant's future performance include the effects of competition,
technological changes and regulatory developments; changes in fiscal, monetary
and tax policies; market, economic, operational, liquidity, credit and interest
rate risks associated with the Registrant's business; inflation; competition in
the financial services industry; changes in general economic conditions, either
nationally or regionally, resulting in, among other things, credit quality
deterioration; and changes in the securities markets. Investors should consider
these risks, uncertainties, and other factors in addition to those mentioned by
the Registrant in its other filings from time to time when considering any
forward-looking statement.
