3 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, Horizon Bank, N.A. (Bank) and Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, IMS Investment Management, N.A. (IMS) 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, investment management services, 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 five facilities located exclusively within LaPorte County, Indiana and four facilities located in Porter County, Indiana. At December 31, 1997, Bank had total assets of $359,751,000 and total deposits of $264,413,000. Aside from the stock of Bank, Insurance Company and Loan Store, the Registrant's only other significant assets are cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $864,000, investment securities totaling approximately $401,000 and taxes receivable of approximately $1,323,000 at December 31, 1997. The business of the Registrant, Bank, IMS, 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 whom would have a materially adverse effect on the business of the Registrant. Revenues from loans accounted for 72% in 1997, 68% in 1996, and 67% in 1995 of the total consolidated revenue. Revenues from investment securities accounted for 14% in 1997, 15% in 1996 and 20% in 1995 of total consolidated revenue. The Registrant has no employees and there are approximately 180 full and part-time persons employed by Bank , IMS and Loan Store as of December 31, 1997. 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, 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. 3
4 The Insurance Company offers credit life and accident and health insurance. The Loan Store, Inc. is engaged in the business of retail lending and operates four facilities in Northwest Indiana. The net income generated from the Insurance Company and the Loan Store 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, Bank, IMS, Insurance Company and Loan Store 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 affiliates, its investments in the stock or other securities thereof, and its taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. 4
5 Bank, as a national bank, is regulated and regularly examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). In addition to certain statutory limitations on the payment of dividends, approval of the OCC is required for any dividend to the Registrant by Bank if the total of all dividends, including any proposed dividend, declared by Bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net profits (as defined by the OCC) for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. The Federal Reserve Board implemented risk-based capital requirements for banks and bank holding companies in December, 1988. The risk-based capital requirements have little effect on the Registrant because existing capital is in excess of the requirements.

Nonaccrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans - The following schedule summarizes nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans. <TABLE> <CAPTION> December 31 (thousands) 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> (a) Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual $319 $316 $668 $2,794 $1,687 basis (b) Accruing loans which are contractually 862 682 533 474 481 past due 90 days or more as to interest and principal payments (c) Loans not included in (a) or (b) which are "Troubled Debt Restructuring's" as defined by SFAS No. 15 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Totals $1,181 $998 $1,201 $3,268 $2,168 ============================================================================ </TABLE> 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. 7
8 <TABLE> III. LOAN PORTFOLIO (Continued) <S> <C> (Thousands) Gross interest income that would have been $32 recorded on nonaccrual loans out standing as of Decmber 31, 1997 in the period if the loans had been current, in accordance with their original terms and had been outstanding throughout the period or since origination if held for part of the period. Interest income actually recorded on 0 nonaccrual loans outstanding as of December 31, 1997 and included in net income for the period. Interest income not recognized during the $32 period on nonaccrual loans outstanding as of December 31, 1997. </TABLE> 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 $44,000 at December 31, 1997. 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, 1997 there are no significant concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans other than those disclosed in Item III above. 8
9 III. LOAN PORTFOLIO (Continued) (D) Other Interest-Bearing Assets Other than $125,000 held as other real estate owned, net of allowance, there are no other interest-bearing assets as of December 31, 1997 which would be required to be disclosed under Item III C.1 or 2 if such assets were loans. IV. SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE (A) The following is an analysis of the activity in the allowance for loan losses account: <TABLE> <CAPTION> (Thousands) 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> LOANS Loans outstanding at the end of the period (1) 258,115 271,476 241,662 223,622 219,139 Average loans outstanding during the period (1) 269,348 256,580 226,198 218,053 214,033 (1) Net of unearned income and deferred loan fees <CAPTION> ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Balance at beginning of the period $2,435 $2,777 $2,555 $2,310 $1,997 Loans charged-off: Commercial and agricultural loans (56) (11) (45) (213) Real estate mortgage loans (1) (14) (17) Installment loans (1,384) (532) (231) (221) (343) ------- ------ ----- ----- ----- Total loans charged-off (1,441) (557) (293) (221) (556) Recoveries of loans previously charged-off: Commercial and agricultural loans 50 27 358 143 339 Real estate mortgage loans 8 Installment loans 333 122 149 158 254 --- --- --- --- --- Total loan recoveries 383 149 515 301 593 Net loans (charged-off)/recovered (1,058) (408) 222 80 37 Provision charged to operating expense 1,325 66 165 276 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at the end of the period $2,702 $2,435 $2,777 $2,555 $2,310 =============================================================================== Ratio of net (charge-offs)/recoveries to average (0.39)% (0.16)% 0.10% 0.04% 0.02% loans outstanding for the period </TABLE> The increase in the provision for loan losses in 1997 was the result of increased charge-offs identified in the installment loan portfolio, specifically direct consumer loans and credit cards. Management believes that by mid-1998, the volume of charge-offs in these portfolios will begin to reduce and that a more normal provision will be re-instated. Management expects charge-offs in all other portfolios to remain at the 1997 levels. 9
10 IV. SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE (Continued) (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. ALLOCATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AT DECEMBER 31. (THOUSANDS) <TABLE> <CAPTION> 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ALLOWANCE % OF TOTAL ALLOWANCE % OF TOTAL ALLOWANCE % OF TOTAL ALLOWANCE % OF TOTAL ALLOWANCE % OF TOTAL AMOUNT LOANS AMOUNT LOANS AMOUNT LOANS AMOUNT LOANS AMOUNT LOANS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Commercial, $765 0.3% $576 0.2% $733 0.3% $1,434 0.6% $1,064 0.5% financial and agricultural Real estate 82 0.0% 102 0.0% 139 0.1% 111 0.0% 171 0.1% mortgage Installment 1,290 0.5% 1,075 0.4% 655 0.3% 407 0.2% 514 0.2% Unallocated 565 682 1,250 603 561 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total $2,702 1.0% $2,435 0.9% $2,777 1.1% $2,555 0.9% $2,310 1.1% ================================================================================================================== </TABLE> The increase in the reserve allocation for installment loans from 1995 to 1996 is primarily the result of the change in methodology for the historical portion of the allowance calculation. In 1996, the Bank began using the industry average charge-off rate instead of the Bank's historical charge-off rate which was used in previous years. This change in methodolgy resulted in a $325 increase in the portion of the allowance allocated to installment loans in 1996. V.
