PART I

PART I

Competition


Competition
A high degree of competition exists in all major areas where Horizon engages in business. The Bank’s primary market consists of La PortePorter, LaPorte, St. Joseph and PorterElkhart Counties, Indiana, and Berrien County, Michigan. The 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. To a more moderate extent, the 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, 2004, the Bank2007, Horizon was the largest of the 12 bank and thrift institutions with offices in La Porte County with 34.9% of the deposits and the fifth largest of the 15 institutions with offices in Porter County with 6.9% of deposits. Horizon opened its first office in Berrien County, Michigan in 2003 and as of June 30, 2004, was the ninth largest of the 11 bank and thrift institutions in LaPorte County with a 35.74% market share and the fifth largest of the 16 such institutions in Porter County with an 8.18% market share. In Berrien County, Michigan, Horizon was the fourth largest of the 10 bank and thrift institutions with an 8.09% market share.

Supervision and Regulation

Horizon 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 Horizon’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 (the “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 (the “FDIC”) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “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. The Bank exceeded the risk-based capital requirements of the FDIC and OCC as of December 31, 2004. For Horizon’s regulatory capital ratios and regulatory requirements as of December 31, 2004,2007, see the information in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation in Item 7 below, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The 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.

The Bank’s deposits are insured up to $100,000 per insured accountapplicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the “Reform Act”), which was signed into law in February 2006, has resulted in significant changes to the federal deposit insurance program:
Effective March 31, 2006, the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (“SAIF”) were merged to create a new fund, called the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”)
The current $100,000 deposit insurance coverage is subject to adjustment for inflation beginning in 2010 and every succeeding five years
Deposit insurance coverage for individual retirement accounts and certain other retirement accounts has been increased from $100,000 to $250,000 and also will be subject to adjustment for inflation
Pursuant to the Reform Act, the FDIC is authorized to set the reserve ratio for the DIF annually at between 1.15% and 1.5% of estimated insured deposits and the FDIC has been given discretion to set assessment rates according to risk regardless of the level of the fund reserve ratio. On November 2, 2006, the FDIC adopted final regulations that set the designated reserve ratio for the DIF at 1.25% beginning January 1, 2007.
Insured depository institutions that were in existence on December 31, 1996, and paid assessments prior to that date (or their successors) are entitled to a one-time credit against future assessments based on their past contributions to the BIF or SAIF. In 2006, the Bank Insurance Fund, which is administeredreceived a one-time credit of $457,534 against future assessments. Of the initial credit, $143,623 remained unused at December 31, 2007.
Also on November 2, 2006, the FDIC adopted final regulations that establish a new risk-based premium system. Under the new system, the FDIC will evaluate each institution’s risk based on three primary sources of information: supervisory ratings for all insured institutions, financial ratios for most institutions, and long-term debt issuer ratings for large institutions that have such ratings. An institution’s assessments will be based on the insured institution’s ranking in one of four risk categories. Effective January 1, 2007, well-capitalized institutions with the CAMELS ratings of 1 or 2 are grouped in Risk Category I and will be assessed for deposit insurance at an annual rate of between five and seven cents for every $100 of domestic deposits. Institutions in Risk Categories II, III and IV will be assessed at annual rates of 10, 28 and 43 cents, respectively. An increase in assessments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s earnings.
FDIC-insured institutions remain subject to the requirement to pay assessments to the FDIC to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the FDIC.

Financing Corporation (“FICO”), an agency of the Federal government established to recapitalize the predecessor to the SAIF. These assessments will continue until the FICO bonds mature in 2017. For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the FICO assessment rate was equal to 1.14 cents for each $100 in domestic deposits maintained at an institution.

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 Bank is subject to the jurisdiction and requires notice to or the prior approval of the OCC.

Horizon and the 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.

The FDICIA accomplished a number of sweeping changes in the regulation of depository institutions and their holding companies. The FDICIA requires, among other things, federal bank regulatory authorities to take “prompt corrective action” with respect to banks that do not meet minimum capital requirements. The 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.

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, Horizon may underwrite and sell securities and insurance. It may acquire, or be acquired by, brokerage firms and insurance underwriters. Horizon does not anticipate significant changes in its products or services as a result of the GLBA.

On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the

The USA PatriotPATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “Patriot“PATRIOT Act”). The Patriot Act is intended to strengthen the ability of U.S. Law Enforcement to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The potential impact of the Patriot Act on financial institutions is significant and wide-ranging. The PatriotPATRIOT Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and requires financial institutions to implement additional policies and procedures with respect to, or additional measures designed to address, any or all the following matters, among others: money laundering, suspicious activities and currency transaction reporting, and currency crimes.

Many of the provisions in the PATRIOT Act were to have expired December 31, 2005, but the U.S. Congress authorized renewals that extended the provisions until March 10, 2006. In early March 2006, the U.S. Congress approved the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 (the “Reauthorization Act”) and the USA PATRIOT Act Additional Reauthorizing Amendments Act of 2006 (the “PATRIOT Act Amendments”), and they were signed into law by President Bush on March 9, 2006. The Reauthorization Act makes permanent all but two of the provisions that had been set to expire and provides that the remaining two provisions, which relate to surveillance and the production of business records under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, will expire in three years. The PATRIOT Act Amendments include provisions allowing recipients of certain subpoenas to obtain judicial review of nondisclosure orders and clarifying the use of certain subpoenas to obtain information from libraries. Horizon does not anticipate that these changes will materially affect its operations.

On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents a comprehensive revision of laws affecting corporate governance, accounting obligations and corporate reporting. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is applicable to all companies with equity or debt securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”). In particular, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act establishes: (i) new requirements for audit committees, including independence, expertise and responsibilities; (ii) additional responsibilities regarding financial statements for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the reporting company; (iii) new standards for auditors and regulation of audits; (iv) increased disclosure and reporting obligations for the reporting company and their directors and executive officers; and (v) new and increased civil and criminal penalties for violation of the securities laws. Management expects that significant additional efforts and expense will continue to be required to comply with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (the “FACT Act”) was signed into law by President Bush on December 4, 2003. The FACT Act amendsamended the Fair Credit Reporting Act and makesmade permanent certain federal preemptions that form the basis for a national credit reporting system. The FACT Act iswas also intended to (i) address identity theft, (ii) increase access to credit information, (iii) enhance the accuracy of credit reporting, (iv) facilitate the opt-out by consumers from certain marketing solicitations, (v) protect medical information, and (vi) promote financial literacy. The statute will affectapplies to credit reporting agencies (commonly referred to as “credit bureaus”), financial institutions, other users of credit reports and those who furnish information to credit bureaus. Management does not anticipate that this legislation will have a significant adverse effect on our business.

In addition to the matters discussed above, Horizon’s affiliate bankHorizon 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 governmentGovernment 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 Horizon and its affiliate bank in particular wouldaffiliates will be affected.

LOAN PORTFOLIO (continued)


The increase in non-accrual loans in 2007 is primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate loans of $281 thousand and an increase in consumer loans of $381 thousand. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in mortgage loans of $281. The increase in non-accrual loans in 2006 was primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate loans of $761 thousand. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in mortgage loans and consumer loans of $67 thousand and $36 thousand, respectively. The increase in non-accrual loans in 2005 was primarily due to non-accrual loans acquired from Alliance of $389 thousand, an increase in consumer and commercial loans of $44 thousand and $189 thousand, respectively. The decrease in non-accrual loans in 2004 was primarily due to decreases in consumer loans of $125 thousand and mortgage loans of $337 thousand partially offset by an increase in commercial loans of $112 thousand. The increase in non-accrual loans in 2003 was primarily due to increases in consumer loans of $89 thousand, mortgage loans of $254 thousand and commercial loans of $146 thousand.

Discussion of Nonaccrual Policy
1. From time to time, the Bank obtains information, which may lead management to believe that the collection of interestpayments 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 nonaccruingnon-accruing loan. Further, it is management’s policy to place a commercial loan on a nonaccrualnon-accrual 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 collectionscollection officer must review all loans placed on nonaccrualnon-accrual status. The senior collectionscollection officer monitors the loan portfolio for any potential problem loans.

In 1999, Horizon began a mortgage warehousing program. This program is described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation in Item 7 below and in the Notes to the Financial Statements in Item 8 below, which are incorporated herein by reference. The greatest risk related to these loans is transaction and fraud risk. During 20042007, Horizon processed an average of over $14 million per day$1.8 billion in mortgage warehouse loans. During 2004 the lines of credit granted to customers decreased from $459 million at December 31, 2003 to $388 million at December 31, 2004. Also there was a decline in the percent of the mortgage warehouse portfolio which was sub-prime. Sub-prime loans are assigned a higher reserve.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

A cautionary note about forward-looking statements: In its oral and written statements, Horizon 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 Horizon’s financial and business performance as well as economic and market conditions. They often can be identified by the use of words like “expect,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “believe,”“believe” or “anticipate.”

10


Horizon may include forward-looking statements in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), 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 Horizon 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 events.

By their nature, forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors. You are cautioned that actual results may differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statement. The discussion in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation in Item 7 of this Form 10-K lists some of the factors that could cause Horizon’s actual results to vary materially from those expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statements. Your attention is directed to this discussion.

Other risks and uncertainties that could affect Horizon’s future performance are set forth immediately below in Item 1A — Risk Factors
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As a financial institution, we are subject to a number of types of risks. Although we undertake a variety of efforts to manage and control those risks, many of the risks are outside of our control. Among the risks we face are the following:
credit risk: the risk that loan customers or other parties will be unable to perform their contractual obligations;
market risk: the risk that changes in market rates and prices will adversely affect our financial condition or results of operation;
liquidity risk: the risk that Horizon or the Bank will have insufficient cash or access to cash to meet its operating needs; and
operational risk: the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or external events.
Investors should consider carefully these risks and the other risks and uncertainties described below. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results which could cause our stock price to decline. The risks and uncertainties described below are not, however, the only ones that we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently believe are not material, could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
Our financial performance may be adversely impacted if we are unable to continue to grow our commercial and consumer loan portfolios, obtain low-cost funds and compete with other providers of financial services.
Our ability to maintain our history of record earnings year after year will depend, in large part, on our ability to continue to grow our commercial and consumer loan portfolios and obtain low-cost funds. During 2006 and 2007, we focused on increasing consumer loans, and we intend to continue to emphasize and grow consumer, as well as commercial types of loans in the foreseeable future. This

12


represented a shift in our emphasis from 2002 and 2003 when we focused on mortgage banking services, which generated a large portion of our income during those years.
We have also funded our growth with low-cost consumer deposits, and our ability to sustain our growth will depend in part on our continued success in attracting such deposits or finding other sources of low-cost funds.
Another factor in maintaining our history of record earnings will be our ability to expand our scope of available financial services to our customers in an increasingly competitive environment. In addition to other banks, our competitors include credit unions, securities dealers, brokers, mortgage bankers, investment advisors, and finance and insurance companies. Competition is intense in most of our markets. We compete on price and service with our competitors. Competition could intensify in the future as a result of industry consolidation, the increasing availability of products and services from non-banks, greater technological developments in the industry, and banking reform.
Our commercial and consumer loans expose us to increased credit risks.
We have a large percentage of commercial and consumer loans. Commercial loans generally have greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans because repayment of these loans often depends on the successful business operations of the borrowers. These loans also typically have much larger loan balances than residential mortgage loans. Consumer loans generally involve greater risk than residential mortgage loans because they are unsecured or secured by assets that depreciate in value. Although we undertake a variety of underwriting, monitoring and reserving protections with respect to these types of loans, there can be no guarantee that we will not suffer unexpected losses.
Changes in market interest rates could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our financial condition and results of operations are significantly affected by changes in market interest rates. Our results of operations depend substantially on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income that we earn on our interest-earning assets and the interest expense that we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities. Our profitability depends on our ability to manage our assets and liabilities during periods of changing market interest rates. If rates increase rapidly as a result of an improving economy, we may have to increase the rates paid on our deposits and borrowed funds more quickly than loans and investments reprice, resulting in a negative impact on interest spreads and net interest income. The impact of rising rates could be compounded if deposit customers move funds from savings accounts to higher rate certificate of deposit accounts. Conversely, should market interest rates fall below current levels, our net interest margin could also be negatively affected, as competitive pressures could keep us from further reducing rates on our deposits, and prepayments and curtailments on assets may continue. Such movements may cause a decrease in our interest rate spread and net interest margin, and therefore, decrease our profitability.
We also are subject to reinvestment risk associated with changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect the average life of loans and mortgage-related securities. Increases in interest rates may decrease loan demand and/or may make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable rate loans. Decreases in interest rates often result in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, as borrowers refinance their loans to reduce borrowing costs. Under these circumstances, we are subject to reinvestment risk to the extent that we are unable to reinvest the cash received from such prepayments in loans or other investments that have interest rates that are comparable to the interest rates on existing loans and securities.

13


An economic slowdown in Northwestern Indiana and Southwestern Michigan could affect our business.
Our primary market area for deposits and loans consists of LaPorte and Porter Counties in Northwestern Indiana and Berrien County in Southwestern Michigan. An economic slowdown in these areas could hurt our business. Possible consequences of such a downturn could include the following:
increases in loan delinquencies and foreclosures;
declines in the value of real estate and other collateral for loans; and
a decline in the demand for our products and services.
Because our stock is thinly traded, it may be more difficult for you to sell your shares or buy additional shares when you desire to do so and the price may be volatile.
Although our common stock has been listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market since December 2001 and since February 1, 2007, has been listed on NASDAQ Global Market, our common stock is thinly traded. Average daily trading volume during 2007 was only 1,689 shares. The prices of thinly traded stocks, such as ours, are typically more volatile than stocks traded in a large, active public market and can be more easily impacted by sales or purchases of large blocks of stock. Thinly traded stocks are also less liquid, and because of the low volume of trades, you may be unable to sell your shares when you desire to do so.
The preparation of our financial statements requires the use of estimates that may vary from actual results.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make significant estimates that affect the financial statements. One of our most critical estimates is the level of the allowance for loan losses. Due to the inherent nature of these estimates, we cannot provide absolute assurance that we will not have to increase the allowance for loan losses and/or sustain loan losses that are significantly higher than the provided allowance.
Our mortgage warehouse and indirect lending operations are subject to a higher fraud risk than our other lending operations.
We buy loans originated by mortgage bankers and automobile dealers. Because we must rely on the mortgage bankers and automobile dealers in making and documenting these loans, there is an increased risk of fraud to us on the part of the third-party originators and the underlying borrowers. In order to guard against this increased risk, we perform investigations on the loan originators with whom we do business, and we review the loan files and loan documents we purchase to attempt to detect any irregularities or legal noncompliance. However, there is no guarantee that our procedures will detect all cases of fraud or legal noncompliance.
We are subject to extensive regulation and changes in laws, regulations and policies could adversely affect our business.
Our operations are subject to extensive regulation by federal agencies. See “Supervision and Regulation” in the description of our Business in Item 1 above for detailed information on the laws and regulations to which we are subject. Changes in applicable laws, regulations or regulator policies could materially affect our business. The likelihood of any major changes in the future and their effects are impossible to determine.
Our inability to continue to accurately process large volumes of transactions could adversely impact our business and financial results.
In the normal course of business, we process large volumes of transactions. If systems of internal control should fail to work as expected, if systems are used in an unauthorized manner, or if employees subvert the system of internal controls, significant losses could result.

14


We process large volumes of transactions on a daily basis and are exposed to numerous types of operational risk. Operational risk resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems includes the risk of fraud by persons inside or outside the company, the execution of unauthorized transactions by employees, errors relating to transaction processing and systems, and breaches of the internal control system and compliance requirements. This risk of loss also includes the potential legal actions that could arise as a result of the operational deficiency or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards.
We establish and maintain systems of internal operational controls that provide us with timely and accurate information about our level of operational risk. While not foolproof, these systems have been designed to manage operational risk at appropriate, cost-effective levels. Procedures exist that are designed to ensure that policies relating to conduct, ethics and business practices are followed. From time to time, losses from operational risk may occur, including the effects of competition; technological changes; regulatory developments; changes in fiscal, monetaryoperational errors.
While we continually monitor and tax policies; market, economic, operational, liquidity, creditimprove the system of internal controls, data processing systems and interest rate risks associated with Horizon’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;corporate-wide processes and changes in the securities markets. A decline in mortgage loan volume could also affect the performance of Horizon.procedures, there can be no assurance that future losses will not occur.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of OperationOperations

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)

Overview

During 2004,

Horizon’s net interest margin at 3.03% for 2007 declined two basis points from 2006. Average earning assets increased approximately $54 million, which was the emphasis shifted from residential mortgage lending to more traditional commercial banking functions. As residential mortgage loan refinance activity slowed, Horizon was able to diversify its revenue streams. Commercial loans grew 34% to over $200primary cause of an increase of $1.3 million and consumer loans increased by 40% to over $140 million. An improving local economy, strong sales effort and the addition of experienced lenders fueled the commercial growth. The southwest Michigan market continued to have its strong growth pattern. Consumer loans grew as a result of additional home equity lendingor 4.0% in all markets and expansion of indirect lending into southwest Michigan.

To leverage the additional regulatory capital raised through the Trust Preferred offering completed in October of 2004, the investment portfolio increased by over 30%.

Funding of this increasenet interest income. Growth in earning assets occurred in commercial and consumer loans. Growth in these higher yielding asset categories offset a higher cost core deposits.

Non-interest income increased $2.1 million or 21% over the prior year, which was accomplished throughthe largest contributor to the growth in net income. Growth occurred in most areas of non-interest income, especially gain on sale of loans which increased due to a 12% increase in depositshigher percentage of new loans being sold and a 54% increase in borrowed funds.

better sales execution.

Non-interest expenses increased $689 thousand or 2.3% over the prior year. Horizon began to see positive impact from staff reductions initiated during 2007 and other expense categories were held constant with the previous year.
Critical Accounting Policies

Horizon has established various accounting policies, which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation the Company’s financial statements. The significant accounting policies of the Company are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 on Form 10-K. Certain of these policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has identified the allowance for loan lossesfollowing as a critical accounting

policy. Additional discussion regarding the allowance for loan loss is included in the following Analysis of Financial Condition and the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Investment Securities

Horizon maintains a high quality investment portfolio with low credit risk. Investment securities totaled $281.282 million at December 31, 2004 and consisted of U. S. Treasury and Government Agency securities of $85.626 million (30.4)%; Municipal securities of $57.327 million (20.4)%; Mortgage-Backed securities of $124.308 million (44.2)%; collateralized mortgage obligations of $13.338 million (4.7)%; and corporate securities of $683 thousand (0.2)%.

As indicated above, 48.9% of the investment portfolio consists of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. 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 and collateralized mortgage obligations have maturities that are stated in terms of average life. The average life is the average amount of time that each dollar of principal is expected to be outstanding. As of December 31, 2004, the mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations in the investment portfolio had an average life of 5.45 years. 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, however, this risk is mitigated by a shorter average life. Management currently believes that prepayment risk on these securities is nominal.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, all investment securities were classified as available for sale. 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 $1.375 million, which resulted in a $894 thousand addition, net of tax, to stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2004. This compared to a $2.075 million, net of tax, addition in stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2003.

As a member of the Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank system, Horizon is required to maintain an investment in the common stock of each entity. The investment in common stock is based on a predetermined formula. At December 31, 2004, Horizon has investments in the common stock of the Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $11.279 million compared to $10.853 million at December 31, 2003.

At December 31, 2004, Horizon does not maintain a trading account and is not using any derivative products for hedging or other purposes.

Loans

Total loans, the principal earning asset of the Bank, were $564.042 million at December 31, 2004. The current level of loans is an increase of 25.98% from the December 31, 2003 level of $447.718 million. As the table below indicates, the increase is related to growth in commercial and consumer loans.

The acceptance and management of credit risk is an integral part of the Bank’s business as a financial intermediary. The Bank has established rigorous underwriting standards including a policy that monitors the lending function through strict administrative and reporting requirements as well as an internal loan review of consumer and small business loans. The Bank also uses an independent third-party loan review function that regularly reviews asset quality.

Real Estate Loans

Real estate loans totaled $89,139 million or 15.8% of total loans as of December 31, 2004, compared to $67.428 million or 15.1% of total loans as of December 31, 2003. This category consists of home mortgages that generally require a loan to value of no more than 80%. Some special guaranteed or insured real estate loan programs do permit a higher loan to collateral value ratio.

15


In addition to the customary real estate loans described above, the Bank also has outstanding on December 31, 2004, $39.492 million in home equity lines of credit compared to $28.013 million at December 31, 2003. Credit lines normally limit the loan to collateral value to no more than 89%. These loans are classified as consumer loans in the table above and in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements.

Residential real estate lending is a highly competitive business. As of December 31, 2004, the real estate loan portfolio reflected a wide range of interest rates and repayment patterns, but could generally be categorized as follows:

During 2004 and 2003, approximately $106 million and $217 million respectively of residential mortgages were sold into the secondary market. Horizon anticipates that the volume of mortgage loan activity will remain fairly constant in 2005. Overall mortgage activity is anticipated to decline, however as Horizon enters new markets, originations in these markets should offset the overall decline.

In addition to the real estate loan portfolio, the Bank sells real estate loans and retains the servicing rights. Loans serviced for others are not included in the consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances and number of loans serviced for others totaled approximately $171,367,000 and 2,048 and $148,359,000 and 1,846 at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

The Bank began capitalizing mortgage servicing rights during 2000 and the aggregate fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 2004 totaled approximately $1,332,000. Comparable market values and a valuation model that calculates the present value of future cash flows were used to estimate fair value. For purposes of measuring impairment, risk characteristics including product type, investor type, and interest rates, were used to stratify the originated mortgage servicing rights.

Commercial Loans

Commercial loans totaled $203.966 million or 36.2% of total loans as of December 31, 2004, compared to $152.4 million or 34.0% as of December 31, 2003. An improving local economy, strong sales effort and the addition of experienced lenders fueled the commercial growth. The southwest Michigan market continued to have its strong growth pattern.

Commercial loans consisted of the following types of loans at December 31:

Consumer Loans

Consumer loans totaled $142.945 million or 25.3% of total loans as of December 31, 2004, compared to $101,872 million or 22.8% as of December 31, 2003. The total consumer loan portfolio increased 40.3% in 2004. The growth in consumer loans resulted from an increase in the number of automobile dealers from whom Horizon buys loans. Growth also came in home equity lines of credit through increased marketing and a more competitive product.

Mortgage Warehouse Loans

In November 1999, Horizon began a mortgage-warehousing program. Horizon enters into agreements with mortgage companies and purchases, at its discretion, mortgage loans from mortgage companies at par, net of certain fees, and later sells them back to the mortgage companies at the same amount and without recourse provisions. Interest income is recorded based upon a rate of interest tied to the prime rate during the funding period, not the rates on the individual note. Such loans are made to individuals and reviewed, prior to purchase, for evidence that the loans are of secondary market quality and meet Horizon’s internal underwriting guidelines. An assignment of the mortgage to Horizon is required. In addition, Horizon takes possession of the original note and forwards such note to the end investor. In the event that the end investor would not honor this commitment and the mortgage companies would not be able to honor their repurchase obligations, Horizon would then need to sell these loans in the secondary market at the fair value of these loans. Loans are typically resold within 30 days and are seldom held more than 90 days.

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses/Critical Accounting Policy

Losses

An allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The determination of the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that involves management’s ongoing quarterly assessments of the probable estimatedincurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The identification of loans that may have potentialprobable incurred losses is subjective, therefore, a general reserve is maintained to cover all potentialprobable losses within the entire loan portfolio. Horizon utilizes a loan grading system that helps identify, monitor and address asset quality problems in an adequate and timely manner. Each quarter, various factors affecting the quality of the loan portfolio are reviewed. 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. Horizon also reviews the current and anticipated economic conditions of its lending market as well as transaction risk to determine the effect they may have on the loss experience of the loan portfolio. The methodology described above is

consistent with

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Management believes that the Officeaccounting for goodwill and other intangible assets also involves a higher degree of judgment than most other significant accounting policies. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” establishes standards for the Comptrolleramortization of the Currency’s guidance in determining the adequacyacquired intangible assets and impairment assessment of the allowance for loan losses.

goodwill. At December 31, 2004,2007, Horizon had core deposit intangibles of $2.068 million subject to amortization and $5.787 million of goodwill, which is not subject to amortization. Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired. Horizon’s goodwill relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of Horizon to provide quality, cost effective banking services in a competitive marketplace. The goodwill value is supported by revenue that is in part driven by the volume of business transacted. A decrease in earnings resulting from a decline in the customer base or the inability to deliver cost effective services over sustained periods can lead to impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings in future periods. SFAS No. 142 requires an annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment. The evaluation of goodwill for impairment requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Horizon has concluded that the recorded value of goodwill is not impaired.

Mortgage Servicing Rights
Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through the sale of financial assets on a servicing-retained basis. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are evaluated regularly for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying servicing rights by predominant characteristics, such as interest rates, original loan terms and whether the loans are fixed or adjustable rate mortgages. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. When the book value of an individual stratum exceeds its fair value, an impairment reserve is recognized so that each individual stratum is carried at the lower of its amortized book value or fair value. In periods of falling market interest rates, accelerated loan prepayment speeds can adversely impact the fair value of these mortgage-servicing rights relative to their book value. In the event that the fair value of these assets was to increase in the future, Horizon can recognize the increased fair value to the extent of the impairment allowance but cannot recognize an asset in excess of its amortized book value. Future changes in management’s assessment of the impairment of these servicing assets, as a result of changes in observable market data relating to market interest rates, loan prepayment speeds, and other factors, could impact Horizon’s financial condition and results of operations either positively or adversely.

Analysis of Financial Condition
Investment Securities
Investment securities totaled $234.675 million at December 31, 2007, and consisted of U. S. Treasury and Government Agency securities of $26.220 million (11.2)%; Municipal securities of $86.931 million (37.0)%; Mortgage-backed securities of $107.371 million (45.8)%; collateralized mortgage obligations of $13.552 million (5.8)%; and corporate securities of $601 thousand (.2)%.
As indicated above, 51.9% of the investment portfolio consists of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. 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 and collateralized mortgage obligations have maturities that are stated in terms of average life. The average life is the average amount of time that each dollar of principal is expected to be outstanding. As of December 31, 2007, the mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations in the investment portfolio had an average life of 6.46 years. 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, however, this risk is mitigated by a shorter average life. Management currently believes that prepayment risk on these securities is nominal.
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, all investment securities were classified as available for sale. Securities classified as available for sale are carried at their fair value, with both unrealized gains and losses recorded, net of tax, directly to stockholders’ equity. Net appreciation on these securities totaled $97 thousand, which resulted in a $63 thousand increase, net of tax, to stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2007. This compared to a $1.507 million, net of tax, reduction in stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2006.
As a member of the Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank system, Horizon is required to maintain an investment in the common stock of each entity. The investment in common stock is based on a predetermined formula. At December 31, 2007, Horizon has investments in the common stock of the Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $12.625 million compared to $12.136 million at December 31, 2006.
At December 31, 2007, Horizon does not maintain a trading account and is not using any derivative products for hedging or other purposes.

In addition to the customary real estate loans described above, the Bank also has outstanding on December 31, 2007, $58.809 million in home equity lines of credit compared to $54.527 million at December 31, 2006. Credit lines normally limit the loan to collateral value to no more than 89%. These loans are classified as consumer loans in the table above and in Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements.
Residential real estate lending is a highly competitive business. As of December 31, 2007, the real estate loan portfolio reflected a wide range of interest rates and repayment patterns, but could generally be categorized as follows:

During 2007 and 2006, approximately $135 million and $96 million, respectively, of residential mortgages were sold into the secondary market.
In addition to the real estate loan portfolio, the Bank sells real estate loans and retains the servicing rights. Loans serviced for others are not included in the consolidated balance sheets. During 2006 Horizon sold a large portion of its mortgage servicing business. The unpaid principal balances and number of loans serviced for others totaled approximately $26,191,000 and 324 and $23,702,000 and 279 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The Bank began capitalizing mortgage servicing rights during 2000 and the aggregate fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 2007, totaled approximately $269,000. Comparable market values and a valuation model that calculates the present value of future cash flows were used to estimate fair value. For purposes of measuring impairment, risk characteristics including product type, investor type and interest rates, were used to stratify the originated mortgage servicing rights.

Consumer Loans
Consumer loans totaled $287.073 million, or 32.3% of total loans as of December 31, 2007, compared to $237.875 million, or 28.2% as of December 31, 2006. The total consumer loan portfolio increased 20.7% in 2007. The growth in consumer loans came from the indirect automobile segment of the portfolio as Horizon continued to expand its dealer network in southwest Michigan and north central Indiana that started in 2006 and into Northern Illinois in 2007. The Illinois indirect program was begun in the first quarter with the intent to sell the loans originated. Due to changes in economic conditions, efforts to sell these loans were unsuccessful and the program was terminated during the third quarter. Approximately $25 million of loans were originated under this program. These loans remain on Horizon’s books and are generally performing as agreed. Direct consumer loans, mostly consisting of home equity term and revolving loans, were relatively stable in 2007.
Mortgage Warehouse Loans
Horizon’s mortgage warehousing business line has specific mortgage companies as customers of Horizon Bank. Individual mortgage loans originated by these mortgage companies are funded as a secured borrowing with pledge of collateral under Horizon’s agreement with the mortgage company. Each individual mortgage is assigned to Horizon until the loan is sold to the secondary market by the mortgage company. In addition, Horizon takes possession of each original note and forwards such note to the end investor once the mortgage company has sold the loan. At the time a loan is transferred to the secondary market, the mortgage company repurchases the loan under its option within the agreement. Due to the repurchase feature contained in the agreement, the transaction does not qualify as a sale under SFAS 140 paragraph 9 (c) and therefore is accounted for as a secured borrowing with pledge of collateral under paragraph 12 of SFAS 140 pursuant to the agreement with the mortgage company. When the individual loan is sold to the end investor by the mortgage company the proceeds from the sale of the loan are received by Horizon and used to payoff the loan balance with Horizon along with any accrued interest and any related fees. The remaining balance from the sale is forwarded to the mortgage company. These individual loans typically are sold by the mortgage company within 30 days and are seldom held more than 90 days. Interest income is accrued during this period and collected at the time each loan is sold. Fee income for each loan sold is recorded when collected and no costs are deferred due to the term between each loan funding and related payoff is typically less than 30 days.
Based on the agreements with each mortgage company, at any time a mortgage company can repurchase from Horizon their outstanding loan balance on an individual mortgage and regain possession of the original note. Horizon also has the option to request that the mortgage company repurchase an individual mortgage. Should this occur, Horizon would return the original note and reassign the assignment of the mortgage to the mortgage company. Also, in the event that the end investor would not be able to honor the sales commitment and the mortgage company would not be able to repurchase its loan on an individual mortgage, Horizon would be able to exercise its rights under the agreement.

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses/Critical Accounting Policy
At December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $7.193$9.791 million, or 1.28%1.10% of total loans outstanding, compared to $6.909$8.738 million, or 1.54%1.03% at December 31, 2003.2006. During 2004,2007, the provision for loan losses totaled $990 thousand$3.068 million compared to $1.350$905 thousand in 2006. The need for an additional provision is a direct result of deterioration of loan quality in the wholesale mortgage (which total approximately $8.0 million) and indirect automobile portfolios.
In December, Horizon discovered a $189 thousand fraudulent loan in the wholesale mortgage portfolio. This, combined with three other delinquent wholesale mortgage loans, prompted Horizon to conduct an internal review of the portfolio. This review included approximately 65% of the portfolio and, while no additional fraudulent loans were detected, the review resulted in a specific allocation of over $1.400 million of the total allowance to this portfolio. The allocation included a combination of specific reserves assigned to certain loans as well as an amount based on Horizon’s recent loss history and national charge off statistics of sub-prime mortgage loans.
Horizon’s analysis of the indirect loan portfolio gave added weight to recent charge off history plus a comparison of current credit scores compared to original credit scores on approximately 65% of the borrowers in 2003. The allowance as athis portfolio. Original credit scores had only six percent of total loans decreased due to strongthe borrowers at or below a 624 credit quality andscore. The recent analysis indicated that 19% of these borrowers now have credit scores of 624 or below. Based on this analysis, Horizon increased its allocation of the allowance by $500 thousand for future indirect loan loss ratios which are better than those of Horizon’s peers. However,losses.
Despite the increased allowance, no assurance can be given that Horizon will not, in any particular period, sustain loan losses that are significant in relation to the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio, in light of factors then prevailing, including economic conditions and management’s ongoing quarterly assessments of the portfolio, will not require increases in the allowance for loan losses. Horizon considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2004.

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:
             
  2004  2003  2002 
Nonperforming loans $1,358  $1,882  $1,293 
             
(dollar amounts in thousands) 2007 2006 2005
 
Nonperforming loans $2,949  $2,625  $1,822 

Nonperforming loans total 19%31% of the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 20042007, compared to 27%30% and 21%22% of the allowance for loan losses on December 31, 20032006 and 2002,2005, respectively.

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. (See Note-4 of the audited financial statements for further discussion of impaired loans)

24


Smaller-balance, homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such loans include residential first mortgage loans secured by 1 4 family residences, residential construction loans, automobile, home equity, second mortgage loans and mortgage warehouse 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.

Horizon continually revises and enhances its interest-bearing consumer and commercial demand deposit products based on local market conditions and its need for funding to support various types of assets. These product changes caused the changes in the average balances and rates paid as displayed in the table above.

Shareholder Value Plan

During 2001, Horizon initiated a Shareholder Value Plan. The Plan is a comprehensive strategic plan to broaden and improve the market for Horizon’s common stock with local community investors who have a long-term, personal interest in helping Horizon remain an independent community bank. It includes improved communications with shareholdersstockholders and customers as well as efforts to improve the marketability of its common stock. During the fourth quarter of 2001, two important components of the Shareholder Value Plan were completed. These included a three for one3-for-1 stock split and the listing of Horizon’s stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market (formerly named the NASDAQ SmallCap Market) and effective February 1, 2007, Horizon is listed on Nasdaq Global Market. Before this, Horizon’s stock was traded on the Bulletin Board. A dividend reinvestment plan was implemented in early 2002 and the quarterly per share dividend was increased to $.10 2/$.102/3 in the fourth quarter of 2002. In October of 2003, Horizon’s Board of Director’s declared a 3 for 23-for-2 stock split and in December of 2003 increased the dividend to $.12. In December of 2004, the Board of Director’s increased the quarterly dividend to $.13 per share. This is the third consecutive year for an increaseshare and to $.14 per share and $.15 per share in cash dividends.

Retirement Plans

On July 20, 1999, the Board of Directors of Horizon Bancorp authorized the termination of the Horizon Bancorp Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This decision was based upon a thorough financial analysis of the impact this plan has had on the earningsDecember 2005 and capital of Horizon since its inception and the expected future impact retaining this plan would likely have on Horizon. On December 31, 1999, the debt owed by the ESOP was repaid with the proceeds from the sale of a portion of the unallocated shares to Horizon Bancorp. The remaining shares for all active participants were allocated to participants. The termination of the ESOP resulted in an expense of $2.073 million for 1999. The remaining shares in the ESOP plan were transferred to the Stock Bonus Plan.

Prior to Horizon’s stock being listed on NASDAQ SmallCap, the market value of the shares held in Horizon’s Stock Bonus Plan was classified outside of shareholders’ equity. Since the shares in the Stock Bonus Plan are now readily tradeable, Horizon reclassified the Stock Bonus Plan equity to shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2001.

The retirement plans of Horizon own approximately 17% of the outstanding shares at December 31, 2004.

June 2007 respectively.

Capital Resources

The capital resources of Horizon and the Bank exceed regulatory capital ratios for “well capitalized” banks at December 31, 2004.2007. Stockholders’ equity totaled $50.432$70.645 million as of December 31, 20042007, compared to $46.223$61.877 million as of December 31, 2003.2006. At year-end 2004,2007, the ratio of stockholders’ equity to assets was 5.52%5.61% compared to 6.10%5.06% for 2003.2006. Horizon’s capital increased during the year 20042007 as a result of increased earnings, net of dividends declared, exercise of stock options and net of tax, decreaseimprovement in unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale and the amortization of unearned compensation. The percentage growth in assets was greater than the percentage growth in equity, causing the equity to asset ratio from 2003 to 2004 to decrease.

Horizon declared dividends in the amount of $.49$.59 per share in 2004,2007, and $.44$.56 per share in 20032006 and $.40 2/3$.53 per share in 2002. These amounts have been adjusted for the three for two stock split

In December of 2006, Horizon formed Horizon Bancorp Capital Trust III (Trust III), a wholly owned statutory business trust. Trust III issued $12.372 million of Trust Preferred Capital Securities as a participant in a pooled trust preferred securities offering. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the trust to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from Horizon. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of Trust III and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Horizon. The junior subordinated debentures and the trust preferred securities pay interest and dividends, respectively, on a quarterly basis. The junior subordinated debentures and the securities bear interest at a rate of 90 day LIBOR plus 1.65% and mature on January 30, 2037, and are noncallable for five years. After that period, the securities may be called at any quarterly interest payment date at par. Costs associated with the issuance of the securities totaling $12,647 were capitalized and are being amortized to the first call date of the securities. The proceeds of this issue were used to redeem the securities issued by Trust I on March 26, 2007.
The Company assumed additional debentures as the result of the acquisition of Alliance in 2005. In June 2004, Alliance formed Alliance Financial Statutory Trust I a wholly owned business trust (Alliance Trust) to sell $5.155 million in trust preferred securities. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the trust to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from Alliance. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of Alliance Trust and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Horizon. The junior subordinated debentures and the trust preferred securities pay interest and dividends, respectively, on a quarterly basis.

After that period, the securities may be called at any quarterly interest payment date at par.
The Trust Preferred Capital Securities, subject to certain limitations, are included in Tier 1 Capital for regulatory purposes. At December 31, 2007, $6.049 million of the $27.837 million in securities were not included in Tier 1 Capital for regulatory purposes. Dividends on the Trust Preferred Capital Securities are recorded as interest expense.

The Bank purchases home mortgages from mortgage companies under warehouse agreements whereby the mortgage company has the right to repurchase the loan. Because these transactions are sales of the loans to the Bank and the Bank is the owner of the purchased loans, the Bank has historically treated these loans as home mortgage loans for call report and regulatory capital purposes. During the course of the routine, periodic examination by bank regulatory authorities commenced in February 2003, the examination personnel raised the issue of whether the Bank’s mortgage warehouse loans should be treated as other loans rather than as home mortgage loans for call report purposes. If these mortgage loans were treated as other loans, it would change the calculations for risk-based capital and reduce the Bank’s risk-based capital ratios. The following table shows, for year-ends in 2004, 2003 and 2002 the amount of the Bank’s risk-based and Tier 1 capital ratios as reported and as they would be under this alternative treatment:

If the Bank is required to reclassify such loans, the Bank still meets the regulatory “well capitalized” standards for all of 2004, 2003 and 2002. Bank regulators have not issued a final opinion on this matter but management continues to believe that these loans are properly characterized for risk-based capital purposes. However there is no assurance that the regulators will concur with that determination. If required to treat mortgage warehouse loans as commercial loans, the Bank will consider increasing the amount of its capital through the issuance of subordinated debt, trust preferred securities or equity securities; or consider other alternatives.

As of December 31, 2004,2007, management is not aware of any other 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.

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 $769.100$1,102.287 million in 20042007 compared to $704.055$1,048.250 million in 20032006 and $598.317$941.991 million in 2002.2005. The net interest margin for 20042007 was 3.31%2.98% compared to 3.43%3.01% and 3.87%3.28% in 20032006 and 2002,2005, respectively. Short termShort-term interest rates began to increase in the third quarter of 2004. The years 20032004 and 2002 saw acontinued through 2005 until June of 2006. Short-term interest remained relatively stable rate environment.

Horizon continueduntil the fourth quarter of 2007 at which point they began to experience lowerdecline.

Horizon’s net interest margin declined three basis points for 2007 compared to 2006. During 2006, low yielding investment securities were sold and the proceeds were reinvested in higher yielding securities, which improved the yield on the investment portfolio. Increases in commercial and consumer loans improved the yield on the total loan portfolio. These caused an increase in yield on total earning assets. Offsetting this was were increases in the cost of short term funding from both negotiable certificates of deposit and short term borrowings. The cost of long term debt increased due to maturities of certain debt at low yields as new loans and loan renewals came on at lower rates than those maturing or paying off.which were replaced with higher costing debt. Average loans outstanding during 20042007 showed only modest growth from 2003,2006, however, the total growth was limited due to a decline in mortgage warehouse loans caused by a slow down in the residential lending market. Changes in the mix of the loan portfolio showed significant change asis shown in the following table.

Average commercial loans grew over 38% andnearly 9%, consumer loans increased by over 34%19% and residential real estate loans increased by over 12%. An improving local economy, strong sales effort and the addition of experienced lenders fueled theCommercial loan growth came from nonresidential commercial growth. The southwest Michigan market, in which Horizon opened its first branch in the second quarter of 2003, continued to have a strong growth pattern.real estate loans. Average consumer loans grew as a result of additional home equity lending in all markets and expansion of indirect lending into southwest Michigan and north central Indiana. Residential mortgage refinance activity slowed throughoutAverage consumer loans increased due to indirect loans originated within Horizon’s normal market area, which are held in the country causing aportfolio, as well as approximately $24 million of indirect loans originated in the suburban Chicago market. Horizon terminated its Illinois indirect loan operation in October of 2007. Mortgage loans, while showing an increase in average balance, have declined since the end of 2006. This was intentional as Horizon shifts its emphasis to more traditional commercial and consumer banking lines of business. The decline in averagemortgage demand caused mortgage warehouse loans outstanding ofto decrease by over 40%27%.

To keep the Bank’s regulatory capital leveraged, the average investment portfolio wasAverage interest-bearing deposits increased by 44%. The increase in this category of earning assets caused a decline in the net interest margin as investment securities carry lower yields than loans. While reducing the net interest margin, it did have a positive impact on net income and earnings per share.

Throughout 2004 Horizon heldover 11% during 2007. Short-term deposit rates fairly level. Short termincreased due to a higher concentration of deposits in higher cost deposit rates were increased late in the year, however, this had little impact on the entire year.products.

higher rates and a greater reliance on higher cost short term negotiable certificates of deposit.

The increase in net interest income during 20042007 and 20032006 is primarily the result of increased earning assets. The increase in net interest income resulting from increased earning assets particularly mortgage warehouse loans in 2003 and investment securities in 2004, andwas partially offset by decliningdeclines in the net interest margins.

Noninterestmargin.

Non-interest Income

The major components of noninterestnon-interest income consist of service charges on deposit accounts, gain on sale of loans and fiduciary 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 the Bank’s markets. Service charges on deposits were $3.088$3.469 million, $3.161$3.102 million and $2.948$2.966 million, for 2004, 20032007, 2006 and 2002,2005, respectively.

Gain on sale of loans was $2.126$2.566 million for 2004 compared to $3.8432007, $1.681 million for 2006 and $1.756 million in 20032005. Horizon has sold between 50% and $3.152 million for 2002. In 2003 and 2002 Horizon sold approximately 85%60% of its residential mortgage loan production to the secondary market. However, in 2004 this percentage dropped to around 60% as more customers took2005 and 2006. In 2007 Horizon sold approximately 77% of its residential mortgage loan production. The loans retained are predominantly adjustable rate mortgages which are held in the Bank’s permanent portfolio of real estatemortgage loans. During 20042007, Horizon sold $106$135 million of current production of residential mortgage loans into the secondary market compared to $185$96 million in 20032006 and $132$98 million in 2002. The 2004 gain includes approximately $394 thousand from the sale of portfolio loans while the 2002 gain amount includes approximately $357 thousand gain on the sale of portfolio loans. The 2002 amount also includes approximately $381 thousand of gain on the sale of credit card loans. Portfolio mortgage loans were sold to reduce the interest rate risk related to long-term fixed rate assets and to provide funding for the growth in other loan areas. The credit card loans were sold to reduce the credit risk, eliminate the inefficiencies related to managing a small portfolio and to provide funding for other loan categories. Horizon anticipates that the volume of mortgage loan activity will remain fairly constant in 2005. Overall mortgage activity is anticipated to decline, however, as Horizon enters new markets, originations in these markets should offset the overall decline.

Fiduciary fees were $2.694$3.556 million in 20042007 compared to $2.411$3.100 million in 20032006 and $2.348$2.748 million in 2002. The fluctuations are primarily2005. Fiduciary income increased due to changesan increase in the market value of assets under administration, additional income from the ESOP line of business and ana fee increase implemented in one time estate fees.

The increase in other income in 2004 over 2003 relates primarily to the increase in cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance taken out in early January of 2004. The increase in 2003 over 2002 resulted from increases in wire transfer fees charged primarily to mortgage warehouse customers and fees collected on sub-prime loans originated by Horizon, but funded by third parties.

Salaries and benefits increased 5.9%4.4% during 20042007 compared to an increasea decrease of 9.4%.6% during 2003.2006. Incentive compensation accruals for various Horizon employees were reduced during the fourth quarter of 2006, as incentive targets were not met, while normal incentive compensation accruals continued all of 2007 as incentive targets were met. The increase for 2004 relatedreduction to the costincentive accruals in 2006 is the main cause of expansion into new markets partially offsetthe increase in salaries and employee benefits in 2007. The staff reductions, which took place in 2006 and 2007, are now favorably impacting compensation expense. The staff reductions in 2006 were accomplished through normal attrition and were the result of an efficiency study. The staff reduction in 2007 was the result of a reduction in force by declines in incentive compensation and commissionseliminating certain positions. The 2007 expense includes approximately $262 thousand of severance benefits paid to mortgage originators.the terminated employees. The increase for 2003 was caused primarily by increases in incentive compensation due to company performance and commissions paid to mortgage originators.

ongoing annual impact of the 2007 staff reductions will be approximately $1.5 million.

Total other expenses, excluding salaries and benefits, decreased .4% in 2007 and increased .76%11.2% in 2004 and 1.61% in 2003.2006. During 2004 Horizon reviewed all areas2006 other expenses were impacted by a full year of noninterest expense and developed annual reductions of over $350 thousand. The more significant reductions included revisions to services provided by third parties, a change in check clearing vendors and real estate and personal property tax revisions.

The primary factors effecting 2003 were: 1) Increased occupancy related to a new facility in Chesterton, Indiana, which replaced an existing facility, and new facilities in the Southwest Michigan market, 2) Decreased data processingadditional costs related to the credit card portfolio whichacquisition of Alliance including expenses relative to the operation of the additional branches, and the amortization of the core deposit intangible acquired in the acquisition. 2006 was sold during 2002, 3)also impacted by an increase in the deferred loan fees being amortized over the life of the loan. Efforts to maintain non-interest expenses at current levels were successful. Professional fees increased related to rewriting Horizon’s Articles of Association and By Laws which were adopted at the May 2003 shareholders meeting, 4) Outside services increased due in part to maintaining guards at certain branch locations, and 5) Loan expense increaseddeclined due to the additional volume of loans originated.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense before cumulative effect of change in accounting for goodwill, totaled $2.494$2.727 million in 2004, $2.6362007 compared to $2.838 million in 20032006 and $2.778$2.945 million in 2002.2005. The effective tax rate was 26.45%25.1%, 28.75%,27.5% and 33.14%29.3% for 2004, 2003,2007, 2006 and 2002,2005, respectively. The declinesdecrease in the effective tax rate are caused by increased tax exemptwas due to an increase in the percentage of tax-exempt income from bank owned life insurance and tax exempt investmentto pre-tax income.

Liquidity and Rate Sensitivity Management

Management and the Board of Directors meet regularly to review both the liquidity and rate sensitivity position of Horizon. Effective asset and liability management ensures Horizon’s ability to monitor the cash flow requirements of depositors along with the demands of borrowers and to measure and manage interest rate risk. Horizon utilizes an interest rate risk assessment model designed to highlight sources of existing interest rate risk and consider the effect of these risks on strategic planning. Management maintains (within certain parameters) 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 repayments, investment security sales and maturities, sale of real estate loans and borrowing relationships with correspondent banks, including the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). At December 31, 2004,2007, Horizon has available approximately $158.733$171.2 million in available credit from various money center banks, including the FHLB. During 2004,2007, cash flows were generated primarily from an increase in depositsproceeds from borrowings of $66.0$185.0 million and an increase in borrowed fundssales, maturities, and prepayments of $86.1investment securities of $62.5 million. Cash flows were used for a $116.0to purchase investments totaling $56.5 million, increase in loans $47.8 million and a 65.6 million increase in investment securities.repay debt $100.5 million. The net cash and cash equivalent position decreased by $27.2$3.8 million during 2004.

2007.

Interest Sensitivity

The degree by which net interest income may fluctuate due to changes in interest rates is monitored by Horizon using computer simulation models, 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 determines the exposure to interest rate risk inherent in Horizon’s balance sheet. The goal is to manage imbalanced positions that arise when the total amount of assets that reprice or maturingmature in a given time period differs significantly from liabilities that reprice or mature in the same time period. The theory behind managing the difference between repricing assets and liabilities is to have more assets repricing in a rising rate environment and more liabilities repricing in a declining rate environment. At December 31, 2004,2007, the amount of assets that reprice within one year were 103% of liabilities that reprice within one year. At December 31, 2006, the amount of assets that reprice within one year were approximately 109%96% of the amount of liabilities that reprice within the same time period. This compares to 122% at December 31, 2003.

However, Horizon considers approximately 50%58% 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.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Horizon’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk (IRR) is the risk that Horizon’s earnings and capital will be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. The primary approach to IRR management is one that focuses on adjustments to the asset/liability mix in order to limit the magnitude of IRR.

Horizon’s exposure to interest rate risk is due to repricing or mismatch risk, embedded options risk, and yield curve risk. Repricing risk is the risk of adverse consequence from a change in interest rates that arise because of differences in the timing of when those interest rate changes affect Horizon’s assets and liabilities. Basis risk is the risk that the spread, or rate difference, between instruments of similar maturities will change. Options risk arises whenever products give the customer the right, but not the obligation, to alter the quantity or timing of cash flows. Yield curve risk is the risk that changes in prevailing interest rates will affect instruments of different maturities by different amounts. Horizon’s

27


objective is to remain reasonably neutral with respect to IRR. Horizon utilizes a variety of strategies to maintain this position including the sale of mortgage loans on the secondary market and varying maturities of FHLB advances, certificates of deposit funding and investment securities.

The table, which follows, provides information about Horizon’s financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2004.2007. The table incorporates Horizon’s internal system generated data related to the maturity and repayment/withdrawal of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. For loans, securities and liabilities with contractual maturities, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted averageweighted-average interest rates by contractual maturities as well as the historical experience of Horizon related to the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the prepayment of residential loans and mortgage-backed securities. From a risk management perspective, Horizon believes that repricing dates are more relevant than contractual maturity dates when analyzing the value of financial instruments. For deposits with no contractual maturity dates, the table presents principal cash flows and weighted average rate, as applicable, based upon Horizon’s experience and management’s judgment concerning the most likely withdrawal behaviors.

Horizon had no derivative financial instruments or trading portfolio as of December 31, 2004.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Share-Based Payment (Revised 2004)

SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity (i) exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, or (ii) incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of the equity instruments. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation using APB 25 and requires that such transactions be recognized as compensation cost in the income statement based on their fair values on the date of the grant. SFAS 123R is effective for Horizon on July 1, 2005. Horizon will transition to fair value based accounting for stock-based compensation using a modified version of prospective application (“modified prospective application”). Under modified

29


prospective application, as it is applicable to Horizon, SFAS 123R applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after July 1, 2005. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered (generally referring to nonvested awards) that are outstanding as of July 1, 2005 must be recognized as the remaining requisite service is rendered during the period of and/or the periods after the adoption of SFAS 123R. The attribution of compensation cost for those earlier awards will be based on the same method and on the same grant-date fair values previously determined for the pro forma disclosures required for companies that did not adopt the fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. Based on the stock-based compensation awards outstanding as of December 31, 2004 for which the requisite service is not expected to be fully rendered prior to July 1, 2005, Horizon does not expect the additional compensation costs to be material as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R. Future levels of compensation cost recognized related to stock-based compensation awards (including the aforementioned expected costs during the period of adoption) may be impacted by new awards and/or modifications, repurchases and cancellations of existing awards before and after the adoption of this standard.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretations (FIN) No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (Revised December 2003)

FIN 46, establishes accounting guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities (VIE) that function to support the activities of the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE entity is the entity that absorbs a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, receives a majority of the VIE’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, controlling interest, contractual relationship or other business relationship with a VIE. Prior to the implementation of FIN 46, VIEs were generally consolidated by an enterprise when the enterprise had a controlling financial interest through ownership of a majority of voting interest in the entity. The provisions of FIN 46 were effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003. If a VIE existed prior to February 1, 2003, FIN 46 was effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. However, subsequent revisions to the interpretation deferred the implementation date of FIN 46 until the first period ending after December 15, 2003.

Horizon adopted FIN 46 in connection with its consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The implementation of FIN 46 required Horizon to de-consolidate its investment in Horizon Statutory Trust I because Horizon is not the primary beneficiary. All prior financial statements have been restated to reflect this de-consolidation. There was no impact on shareholders’ equity, income from continuing operations or net income.

Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments

EITF 03-1 provides guidance for determining when an investment is considered impaired, whether impairment is other-than-temporary, and measurement of an impairment loss. An investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. Generally, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary unless: (i) the investor has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for an anticipated recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment; and (ii) evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. If impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, then an impairment loss should be recognized equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value. Certain disclosure requirements of EITF 03-1 were adopted in 2003 and Horizon began presenting the new disclosure requirements in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. The recognition and measurement provisions were initially effective for other-than-temporary impairment evaluations in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. However, in September 2004, the effective date of these provisions was delayed until the finalization of a FASB Staff Position to provide additional implementation guidance.

SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments

SAB 105 summarizes the views of the staff of the SEC regarding the application of generally accepted accounting principles to loan commitments accounted for as derivative instruments. SAB 105 provides that the fair value of recorded loan commitments that are accounted for as derivatives under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” should not incorporate the expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the future loan. In addition, SAB 105 requires registrants to disclose their accounting policy for loan commitments. The provisions of SAB 105 must be applied to loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into after March 31, 2004. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on Horizon’s financial statements.

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) No. 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer

SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between the contractual cash flows of certain loans and debt securities and the cash flows expected to be collected when loans or debt securities are acquired in a transfer and those cash flow differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. As such, SOP 03-3 applies to loans and debt securities acquired individually, in pools or as part of a business combination and does not apply to originated loans. The application of SOP 03-3 limits the interest income, including accretion of purchase price discounts, that may be recognized for certain loans and debt securities. Additionally, SOP 03-3 does not allow the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected to be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance, such as the allowance for possible loan losses. SOP 03-3 requires that increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the initial investment be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the loan or debt security over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows should be recognized as impairment. In the case of loans acquired in a business combination where the loans show signs of credit deterioration, SOP 03-3 represents a significant change from current purchase accounting practice whereby the acquiree’s allowance for loan losses is typically added to the acquirer’s allowance for loan losses. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans and debt securities acquired in a transfer by Horizon beginning January 1, 2005. Horizon is evaluating the impact of this standard.

Horizon conducts no business except that incident to its ownership of the subsidiaries.

Horizon formed Horizon Statutory Trust III in 20022004 and Horizon Bancorp Capital Trust IIIII in 20042006 for the purpose of participating in Pooled Trust Preferred Stock offerings. The Company assumed additional debentures as the result of the acquisition of Alliance in 2005 which formed Alliance Financial Statutory Trust I (Alliance Trust). See Note 910 for further discussion regarding these previously consolidated entities that are now reported separately.

Basis of Reporting— The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Horizon and subsidiaries. All material intercompanyinter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Securities Available for Sale— Horizon designates its 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 are carried at estimated fair value and any net unrealized gains/losses (after tax) on these securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. 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.

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 or in the process of collection, or when serious doubt exists as to the collectibility 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.

Concentrations of Credit Risk— The Bank grants commercial, real estate and consumer loans to customers located primarily in LaPorte County and portions of Porter County in Northwest Indiana and Berrien County,southwest Michigan and provides mortgage warehouse lines to mortgage companies in the United States. Commercial loans make up approximately 36%35% of the loan portfolio and are secured by both real estate and business assets. These loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows from operations of the businesses. RealResidential real estate loans make up approximately 16%24% of the loan portfolio and are secured by both commercial and residential real estate. Installment loans make up approximately 25%32% of the loan portfolio and are primarily secured by consumer assets. Mortgage warehouse loans make up approximately 23%9% of the loan portfolio and are secured by residential real estate.

Mortgage Warehouse LoansHorizon’s mortgage warehousing business line has specific mortgage companies as customers of Horizon purchases residentialBank. Individual mortgage loans from variousoriginated by these mortgage companies priorare funded as a secured borrowing with pledge of collateral under Horizon’s agreement with the mortgage company. Each individual mortgage is assigned to sale of these loansHorizon until the loan is sold to the secondary market by the mortgage companiescompany. In addition, Horizon takes possession of each original note and forwards such note to the end investor once the mortgage company has sold the loan. At the time a loan is transferred to the secondary market, the mortgage company repurchases the loan under its option within the agreement. Due to the repurchase feature contained in the secondary market.agreement, the transaction does not qualify as a sale under SFAS 140 paragraph 9 (c) and therefore is accounted for as a secured borrowing with pledge of collateral under paragraph 12 of SFAS 140 pursuant to the agreement with the mortgage company. When the individual loan is sold to the end investor by the mortgage company the proceeds from the sale of the loan are received by Horizon held loans that were purchased under agreementsand used to resellpayoff the loan balance with Horizon along with any accrued interest and any related fees. The remaining balance from 28 approved mortgage companies at December 31, 2004. Horizon purchases such loans from mortgage companies, net of certain fees, and later sells them backthe sale is forwarded to the mortgage companiescompany. These individual loans typically are sold by the mortgage company within 30 days and are seldom held more than 90 days. Interest income is accrued during this period and collected at the same amounttime each loan is sold. Fee income for each loan sold is recorded when collected and without recourse provisions. As a result, no gainscosts are deferred due to the term between each loan funding and losses are recorded at the resale of loans. Horizon records interest and fee incomerelated payoff is typically less than 30 days.
Based on the loans during the funding period. Horizon uses the stated interest rate in the agreementagreements with each mortgage company, for interest income recognition,at any time a mortgage company can repurchase from Horizon their outstanding loan balance on an individual mortgage and not the interest rates on the individual loans. Horizon does not retain servicingregain possession of the loans when they are resold. Loans consistoriginal note. Horizon also has the option to request that the mortgage company repurchase an individual mortgage. Should this occur, Horizon would return the original note and reassign the assignment of purchase moneythe mortgage to the mortgage company. Also, in the event that the end investor would not be able to honor the sales commitment and refinancethe mortgage loans and are generally held no more than 90 days bycompany would not be able to repurchase its loan on an individual mortgage, Horizon and are typically resold within 30 days.would be able to exercise its rights under the agreement.

Allowance for Loan Losses— An allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing quarterly assessments of the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for credit losses, which is charged against current period operating results and decreased by the amount of charge offs, net of recoveries. Horizon’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include the formulageneral allowance, specific allowances for identified problem loans and the unallocatedqualitative allowance.

The formulageneral allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to pools of outstanding loans and certain unused commitments.loans. Loss factors are based on a historical loss experience and may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.

Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified conditions or circumstances related to a credit that management believes indicate the probability that a loss will be incurred in excess of the amount determined by the application of the formula allowance.

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)

The unallocatedqualitative allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of various conditions, the effects of which are not directly measured in the determination of the formulageneral and specific allowances. The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific credits. The conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocatedqualitative allowance may include factors such as local, regional and national economic conditions and forecasts, concentrations of credit and changes in the composition of the portfolio.

Loan Impairment— When analysis determines a borrower’s operating results and financial condition are not adequate to meet 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 placed on nonaccrualnon-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 the aggregate. Such loans include residential first mortgage loans secured by one to four 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 2 to 20 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposition are included in current operations.

Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock— The stock is a required investment for institutions that are members of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) systems. The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula.

Mortgage Servicing Rights— Mortgage servicing rights on originated loans that have been sold are capitalized by allocating the total cost of the mortgage loans between the mortgage servicing rights and the loans based on their relative fair values. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing revenue. Impairment of mortgage-servicing rights is assessed based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a current market interest rate. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights are stratified based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The predominant characteristic currently used for stratification is type of loan. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights for a stratum exceed their fair value. Amortization expense and charges related to an impairment write-down are included in other income.

GoodwillGoodwill is tested annually for impairment. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, a goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases inGoodwill totaled $5.787 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006. A large majority of the goodwill value are not recognized inrelates to the acquisition of Alliance financial statements.

Income Taxes— Horizon files annual consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiaries. Income tax in the consolidated statements of income includes deferred income tax provisions or benefits for all significant temporary differences in recognizing income and expenses for financial reporting and income tax purposes.

The Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, no material liabilities for uncertain tax positions have been recorded. However, the Company reduced its liabilities for certain tax position by $563,000. This reduction was recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to equity. The following financial statement line items for 2007 were affected by the change in accounting principle.
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.

Earnings per Common Share and Dividends Declared per Common Share— Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In August 2002, substantially all of the participants in Horizon’s Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Plans voluntarily entered into an agreement with Horizon to cap the value of their stock appreciation rights (SARS) at $14.67 per share and cease any future vesting of the SARS. These agreements with option holders make it more advantageous to exercise an option rather than a SAR whenever Horizon’s stock price exceeds $14.67 per share, therefore, the option becomes potentially dilutive at $14.67 per share or higher. The number of shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share is 2,993,6963,200,440 for 2004, 2,978,1612007, 3,177,272 for 20032006 and 2,975,3943,067,632 for 2002.2005. The number of shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share is 3,123,3253,243,565 for 2004, 3,108,1782007, 3,217,050 for 20032006 and 3,003,3813,162,950 for 2002.2005. There were 18,000 and 5,000 shares for 2007 and 2006 respectively that were excluded from diluted earnings per share, as they were anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive shares for 2005.

Dividend Restrictions— Regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by a national bank to its parent holding company without prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency. Total stockholder’s equity for the Bank atAt December 31, 2004, was $70.447 million of which $62.6852007, $7.787 million was restrictedavailable for payment of dividends from dividend distributionthe Bank to Horizon. 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 Statements of Cash Flows— For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined to include cash and due from banks, money market investments and federal funds sold with maturities of one day or less. Horizon reports net cash flows for customer loan transactions, deposit transactions, short-term investments and short-term borrowings.

Stock SplitShare-Based Compensation- On October 21, 2003, the Board of Directors of Horizon declared a 3-for-2 stock split. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to give effect for this stock split.

Stock Options- At December 31, 2004,2007, Horizon has stock option plans, which are described more fully in Note 18. Effective January 1, 2006, Horizon accountsadopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment(“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) addresses all forms of share-based payment awards, including shares under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to be recognized as expense, based upon their fair values, in the financial statements over the vesting period of the awards. Horizon has elected the modified prospective application and, as a result, has recorded approximately $53 thousand and $40 thousand for 2007 and 2006 respectively in compensation expense relating to vesting of stock options less estimated forfeitures for the 12 month period ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Prior to adoption of SFAS 123(R), unearned compensation related to restricted stock awards was classified as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the balance in unearned compensation was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), Horizon accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost related to the option plans iswas reflected in net income, as all options granted under these plansthe plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. Compensation cost related to restricted stock awards is reflected in net income. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if Horizon had applied the fair value provisions of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Measurements— In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) on fair value measurement. SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.
Over forty current accounting standards within generally accepted accounting principles require (or permit) entities to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. Prior to SFAS 157, the methods for measuring fair value were diverse and inconsistent, especially for items that are not actively traded. In the case of derivatives, the FASB consulted with investors, who generally supported fair value, even when market data are not available, along with expanded disclosure of the methods used and the effect on earnings.  
Under SFAS 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts such sales or transfers. SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. In support of this principle, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data. Under SFAS 157, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy.
SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Horizon has not determined the impact that SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities— In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities; including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115(SFAS 159).  SFAS 159 permits entities with an irrevocable option to report most financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in earnings. The election can be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The statement establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The provisions of FAS 159 are effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on the operations of the Company.

These declines primarily resulted from recent increasesdecreases in market interest rates and failure of certain investments to maintain consistent credit quality ratings.

rates.

Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary.

Horizon does not have a history of actively trading securities, but keeps the securities available for sale should liquidity or other needs develop that would warrant the sale of securities. While these securities are held in the available for sale portfolio, Horizon intends and has the ability to hold them until the earlier of a recovery in fair value or maturity.

Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

In December of 2006, Horizon formed Horizon Bancorp Capital Trust III (Trust III), a wholly owned statutory business trust. Trust III sold $12.372 million of Trust Preferred Capital Securities as a participant in a pooled trust preferred securities offering. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the trust to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from Horizon. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of Trust III and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Horizon. The junior subordinated debentures and the trust preferred securities pay interest and dividends, respectively, on a quarterly basis. The junior subordinated debentures and the securities bear interest at a rate of 90 day LIBOR plus 1.65% and mature on January 30, 2037, and are noncallable for five years. After that period, the securities may be called at any quarterly interest payment date at par. Costs associated with the issuance of the securities totaling $12,647 were capitalized and are being amortized to the first call date of the securities. The proceeds of this issue were used to redeem the securities issued by Trust I on March 26, 2007.
The Company assumed additional debentures as the result of the acquisition of Alliance in 2005. In June 2004, Alliance formed Alliance Financial Statutory Trust I a wholly owned business trust (Alliance Trust) to sell $5.155 million in trust preferred securities. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the trust to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from Alliance. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of Alliance Trust and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Horizon. The junior subordinated debentures and the trust preferred securities pay interest and dividends, respectively, on a quarterly basis. The junior subordinated debentures and the securities bear interest at a rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 2.65%, mature in June 2034, and are non-callable for five years. After that period, the securities may be called at any quarterly interest payment date at par.
The Trust Preferred Capital Securities, subject to certain limitations, are included in Tier 1 Capital for regulatory purposes. At December 31, 2007, $6.049 million of the $27.837 million in securities were not included in Tier 1 Capital for regulatory purposes. Dividends on the Trust Preferred Capital Securities are recorded as interest expense.

Note 1516 — 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.

The Bank was required to have approximately $793,000$2,367,000 of cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve and clearing balance requirements at December 31, 2004.2007. These balances are included in cash and cash equivalents and do not earn interest.

The 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. The 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. The Bank follows the same credit policy to make such commitments as is followed for those loans recorded in the financial statements.

At December 31, 20042007 and 2003,2006, commitments to make loans amounted to approximately $95,152,000$141,729,000 and $59,564,000$154,686,000 and commitments under outstanding standby letters of credit amounted to approximately $985,000$1,929,000 and $1,136,000.$3,000,000. 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.

Note 1617 — Regulatory Capital

Horizon and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies and are assigned to a capital category. The assigned capital category is largely determined by three ratios that are calculated according to the regulations: total risk adjusted capital, Tier I capital and Tier I leverage ratios. The ratios are intended to measure capital relative to assets and credit risk associated with those assets and off-balance sheet exposures of the entity. The capital category assigned to an entity can also be affected by qualitative judgments made by regulatory agencies about the risk inherent in the entity’s activities that are not part of the calculated ratios.

Horizon Bancorp
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
There are five capital categories defined in the regulations, ranging from well capitalized to critically undercapitalized. Classification of a bank in any of the undercapitalized categories can result in actions by regulators that could have a material effect on a bank’s operations. At December 31, 20042007 and 2003,2006, Horizon and the Bank are categorized as well capitalized and met all subject capital adequacy requirements.

During the course of a periodic examination by the Bank’s regulators that commenced in February 2003, the examination personnel raised the issue of whether the Bank’s mortgage warehouse loans should be treated as other loans rather than home mortgages for call report purposes. If these loans are treated as other loans for regulatory reporting purposes, it would change the calculations for risk based capital and reduce the Bank’s risk-based capital ratios. Management believes that it has properly characterized the loans in its mortgage warehouse loan portfolio for risk-based capital purposes, but there is no assurance that the regulators will concur with that determination. Should the call report classification of the loans be changed, Horizon and the Bank would still be categorized as well capitalized at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Note 17 — Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

Horizon maintains the 1987 Nonqualified Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Right Plan (1987 Plan) under which options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) were 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’s exercise price. The underlying stock options are deemed to have been cancelled upon exercise of the SARs. No options were available for grant at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, however, outstanding options may be exercised until their expiration.

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)

Horizon recognizes compensation expense related to the 1987 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. In the third quarter of 2002, Horizon entered into agreements with participants that capped the value of their SARs at $14.67 per share and discontinued any future vesting. No additional compensation expense is recognized when the fair value of Horizon stock exceeds $14.67 per share as there is a presumption that participants will exercise their options rather than the SARs. No compensation expense relating to the SARs was recorded in 2004 or 2003. Horizon recorded a reduction in compensation expense related to the 1987 Plan of $13,000 in 2002.

Note 1819 — FDIC One-Time Assessment Credit
Effective November 17, 2006, the FDIC implemented a one-time credit of $4.7 billion to eligible institutions. The purpose of the credit is to recognize contributions made by certain institutions to capitalize the Bank Insurance Fund and Savings Association Insurance Fund, which have now been merged into the Deposit Insurance Fund. The Bank is an eligible institution and has received notice from the FDIC that its share of the credit is $457,534. Horizon utilized $313,911 of this credit during 2007 which reduced the Company’s FDIC insurance expense. The remaining credit of $143,623 is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements as it represents contingent future credits against future insurance assessment payments. As such, the timing and ultimate recoverability of the one-time credit may change.
Note 20 — Fair Values 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 Horizon taken as a whole. The disclosed fair value estimates are limited to Horizon’s significant financial instruments at December 31, 20042007 and 2003.2006. 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 instrument:

Cash and Cash Equivalents— The carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Interest-Bearing Deposits— 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 portfolio 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. The carrying amounts of loans held for sale approximate fair value.

Interest Receivable/Payable— The carrying amounts approximate fair value.

FHLB and FRB Stock— Fair value of FHLB and FRB stock is based on the price at which it may be resold to the FHLB and FRB.

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 rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturity.

Short-Term Borrowings— The carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances— Rates currently available to the BankHorizon for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair values of existing advances.

borrowings.

Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interest in Horizon Bancorp’s Subordinated Debentures— Rates currently available for debentures with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair values of existing debentures.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letter 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, carrying amounts approximate fair value.

The estimated fair values of Horizon’s financial instruments are as follows:

The independent accountants have full and free access to the Audit Committee and meet with it to discuss auditing and financial reporting matters.

The consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report have been audited byBKD, LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, for 2004, 20032007, 2006 and 2002.2005. Their audits were conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and included 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 consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
