5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

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

6.   REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

The deposits of savings banks, such as the Bank, are presently
insured by the SAIF, which together with the BIF, are the two
insurance funds administered by the FDIC. Financial institutions
which are members of the BIF are experiencing substantially lower
deposit insurance premiums because the BIF has achieved its
required level of reserves while the SAIF has not yet achieved its
required reserves. In order to help eliminate this disparity and
any competitive disadvantage due to disparate deposit insurance
premium schedules, legislation to recapitalize the SAIF was enacted
in September, 1996.

The legislation requires a special one-time assessment of
approximately 65.7 cents per $100 of SAIF insured deposits held by
the one-time special assessment has resulted in a tax affected
charge to earnings of approximately $351,000 during the quarter
ended October 31, 1996. The legislation is intended to fully
recapitalize the SAIF fund so that commercial bank and thrift
deposits will be charged the same FDIC premiums beginning October
1, 1996. As of such date deposit insurance premiums for highly
rated institutions, such as the Bank, have been eliminated.

The Bank however, will continue to be subject to an assessment to
fund repayment of the FICO obligations. It is anticipated that the
FICO assessment for SAIF insured institutions will be 6.5 cents per
$100 of deposits while BIF insured institutions will pay 1.3 cents
per $100 of deposits until the year 2000 when the assessment will
be imposed at the same rate on all FDIC insured institutions.




                          PART I Item 2
                HORIZON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

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

GENERAL

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


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Comparison of Financial Condition as of October 31, 1996 to April
30, 1996.  The Company's total assets at October 31, 1996 of
$148.9 million increased by $18.0 million, or 13.8%, from $130.9
million at April 30, 1996.  This increase was due primarily to
increases in  investment securities of $2.7 million and loans
receivable, including loans held for sale of $14.9 million.

The Company's total liabilities at October 31, 1996 of $137.1
million increased $17.4 million, or 14.5%, from $119.7 million at
April 30, 1996.  This increase was due primarily to an increase
of $16.7 million in total deposits.  The increase in deposits
reflects the Company's ongoing efforts to attract non-interest
bearing commercial checking accounts, NOW accounts, and money
market accounts as a significant source of deposits.  In
addition, the Company instituted a certificate of deposit
promotion which resulted in a $6.8 million increase in
certificates of deposit.

The Company's retained earnings at October 31, 1996 of $4.8
million increased $568,000, or 11.7%, from $4.3 million at April
30, 1996.  This resulted from earnings of $679,000 and the
payment of $111,000 in dividends to shareholders.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended
October 31, 1996 and October 31, 1995.  The Company had net
income of $172,000 for the three month period ended October 31,
1996 as compared to $542,000 for the three month period ended
October 31, 1995.  This increase is discussed in more detail in
the following analysis.

Interest Income.  Interest income from loans increased $549,000,
or 22.8%, from $2.4 million for the three month period ended
October 31, 1995 to $2.9 million for the three month period ended
October 31, 1996.  The increase was due to an increase in the
average loan portfolio balance of $26.4 million which was
partially offset by a decrease in the average yield from 12.2% to
11.2% for the same respective periods.  The decrease in the
average yield related primarily to a .75% decrease in the
Company's base lending rate which is tied to the Wall Street
Journal prime rate index.  A substantial portion of the Company's
loan portfolio is indexed to the Company's base lending rate as
it changes.  The Company was also subjected to interest rate
competition from other lending institutions in its market which
resulted in reduced rates on new loan originations in order to
stay competitive.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense on deposit liabilities
increased $154,000, or 28.5%, from $540,000 for the three months
ended October 31, 1995 to $694,000 for the three months ended
October 31, 1996.  The increase was due primarily to an increase
in the average amount of interest bearing deposits from $65.5
million for the three months ended October 31, 1995 to $82.8
million for the three months ended October 31, 1996.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for losses on loans was
$130,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1996 and $60,000
for the three months ended October 31, 1995.  The Company's
allowance for loan losses was based on management's analysis of
historic loan losses, current economic conditions, the level of
non-performing loans and management's current belief that the
allowance for loan losses reflect an adequate reserve against
potential losses.  Although the Company maintains its allowance
for loan losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to
provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that
future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that
additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in
future periods.  In addition, the Company's determination as to
the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review
by the regulatory agencies which can order the establishment of
additional general and specific allowances.

Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income increased $277,000 to a
total of $1.0 million for the three months ended October 31, 1996
compared to $723,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1995. 
Fees and charges related to loans and deposits increased
$207,000.  Most of the increase was due to an overall increase in
deposit fees  which was the result of a substantial increase in
the number of transaction accounts and an increase in the amount
of some fees. Gain on the sale of loans increased $120,000 to a
total of $278,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1996
compared to $158,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1995. 
This increase resulted primarily from an increased volume of
originations and sales of Small Business Administration (SBA)
guaranteed loans.

Non-interest Expense.  Non-interest expense increased $1.2
million  to a total of $3.1 million for the three months ended
October 31, 1996 compared to $1.9 million for the three months
ended October 31, 1995.  Compensation and benefits increased
$285,000 to a total of $1.2 million for the three months ended
October 31, 1996 compared to $881,000 for the three months ended
October 31, 1995.  This increase resulted primarily from a
general increase in employee salary levels, both for merit and as
a response to a competitive job market in the Central Texas area,
and an increase in the average number of full time equivalent
employees from 106 to 121.  In addition, incentive compensation
associated with origination of SBA loans increased approximately
15.0%.  Occupancy expense increased $46,000 primarily as the
result of writing off the balance of unamortized leasehold
improvements on the old central business district branch which
was moved to a new location in October, 1996.  Legal and
professional expenses increased $56,000 due in part to legal and
accounting fees associated with the negotiations which resulted
in execution of a letter of intent to be acquired by Compass
Bancshares, and a review of the Company's credit card portfolio
by a third party consultant.  Depreciation and amortization
expense increased $42,000 primarily due to the opening of a new
branch and the relocation of a branch.  Equipment rental and
maintenance expense increased $55,000 due in part to the opening
of the aforementioned branch, the leasing of additional automated
teller machines and some major equipment repair.  FDIC insurance
premiums increased $585,000 due primarily to the payment of a
one-time premium of $571,000 to recapitalize the SAIF fund. 
Credit card operations expense increased $60,000 (expenses
uniquely associated with credit card program not included in
other line items) due to significant growth in credit card
accounts and balances.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $216,000, or
68.1%, from $317,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1995
to $101,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1996.  The
decrease was due to a decrease in taxable income, primarily as
the result of the one-time FDIC premium, in the current period
versus the prior period.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended October
31, 1996 and October 31, 1995.  The company had net income of
$679,000 for the six month period ended October 31, 1996 as
compared to $949,000 for the six month period ended October 31,
1995.  This decrease is discussed in more detail in the following
analysis.

Interest Income.  Interest income from loans increased $913,000,
or 18.9%, from $4.8 million for the six months ended October 31,
1995 to $5.7 million for the six months ended October 31, 1996. 
The increase was due to an increase in the average loan portfolio
balance of $24.6 million which was partially offset by a decrease
in the average yield from 12.4% to 11.2% for the same respective
periods.  The decrease in the average yield related primarily to
a .75% decrease in the Company's base lending rate which is tied
to the Wall Street Journal prime rate index.  A substantial
portion of the Company's loan portfolio is indexed to the
Company's base lending rate as it changes.  The Company was also
subjected to interest rate competition from other lending
institutions in its market which resulted in reduced rates on new
loan originations in order to stay competitive.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense on deposit liabilities
increased $236,000, or 22.2%, from $1.1 million for the six
months ended October 31, 1995 to $1.3 million for the six months
ended October 31, 1996.  The increase was due primarily to an
increase in the average amount of interest bearing deposits from
$62.9 million for the six months ended October 31, 1995 to $77.8
million for the six months ended October 31, 1996.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for losses on $120,000
loans was $240,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1996 and
$120,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1995.  The
Company's allowance for loan losses was based on management's
analysis of historic loan losses, current economic conditions,
the level of non-performing loans and management's current belief
that the allowance for loan losses reflect an adequate reserve
against potential losses.  Although the Company maintains its
allowance for loan losses at a level which it considers to be
adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no
assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or
that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required
in future periods.  In addition, the Company's determination as
to the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to
review by the regulatory agencies which can order the
establishment of additional general and specific allowances.

Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income increased $598,000 to a
total of $1.8 million for the six months ended October 31, 1996
compared to $1.2 million for the six months ended October 31,
1995.  Fees and charges related to loans and deposits increased
$389,000.  Most of the increase was due to an overall increase in
deposit fees  which was the result of a substantial increase in
the number of transaction accounts and an increase in the amount
of some fees. Gain on the sale of loans increased $226,000 to a
total of $492,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1996
compared to $266,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1995. 
This increase resulted primarily from an increased volume of
originations and sales of Small Business Administration (SBA)
guaranteed loans.

Non-interest Expense.  Non-interest expense increased $1.6
million  to a total of $5.5 million for the six months ended
October 31, 1996 compared to $3.9 million for the six months
ended October 31, 1995.  Compensation and benefits increased
$558,000 to a total of $2.3 million for the six months ended
October 31, 1996 compared to $1.8 million for the six months
ended October 31, 1995.  This increase resulted primarily from a
general increase in employee salary levels, both for merit and as
a response to a competitive job market in the Central Texas area,
and an increase in the average number of full time equivalent
employees from 106 to 120.  In addition, incentive compensation
associated with origination of SBA loans increased approximately
17.0%.  Occupancy expense increased $75,000 primarily as the
result of relocation of two branches and the opening of another
branch.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased $72,000
primarily due to the aforementioned opening and relocation of
branches.  Equipment rental and maintenance expense increased
$64,000 due to the opening and relocation of branches and the
leasing of additional automated teller machines.  FDIC insurance
premiums increased $604,000 due primarily to the payment of a
one-time premium of $571,000 to recapitalize the SAIF fund. 
Credit card operations expense increased $89,000 (expenses
uniquely associated with credit card program not included in
other line items) due to a significant growth in credit card
accounts and balances.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $124,000, or
23.1%, from $537,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1995 to
$413,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1996.  The decrease
was due to a decrease in taxable income, primarily as the result
of the one-time FDIC premium, in the current period versus the
prior period.

Liquidity Requirements.  Texas law specifically requires that the
Bank maintain a minimum of 10.0% of its assets in cash, balances
in a Federal Reserve Bank or passed through a Federal Home Loan
Bank or other depository institution to a federal reserve bank or
other readily marketable investments, including unencumbered
federal government sponsored enterprise securities.  At October
31, 1996 the Bank's regulatory liquidity ratio was 22.34%.

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

Asset Quality.  Non-performing assets, which consist of non-
accrual loans, foreclosed assets, and repossessed assets,
decreased during the six months ended October 31, 1996 to $11,000
compared to $13,000 at April 30, 1996.  The following table sets
forth information with respect to the Company's non-performing
assets:

Item 3.    Defaults upon Senior Securities - Not applicable

Item 4.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

The Company held its Annual Shareholder Meeting on September 24,
1996 for the purpose of acting on proposals to: (i) elect two
directors, (ii) adopt the Company's 1997 Stock Option and
Incentive Plan, (iii) amend the Company's 1992 Compensatory Stock
Option Program and (iv) ratify the appointment of BDO Seidman as
independent auditors for the Company.

Election of Directors.  At the Annual Meeting, two persons were
elected to serve a term of three years and until their successors
have been elected and qualified.  Paul A. Antrim and Michael
Rotman, M.D. were elected as directors to serve until 1999.  The
other directors who are continuing in office after the Annual 
Meeting include:  Douglas B. Kadison and Charles S. Nichols, Jr.
whose terms as directors extend until 1997, and Robert J. Ellis
whose term as director extends until 1998.  The votes of record
voted for the election of Antrim and Rotman were 1,052,856 and
1,052,106, no voting against and 1,998 and 2,748 shares being
withheld, respectively.  Accordingly, Antrim and Rotman were
declared to be duly elected directors of the Company for the term
described above.

1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.  The next proposal to come
before the Meeting was the approval of the 1997 Stock Option and
Incentive Plan (the "Plan").  The Plan provides for awards in the
form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, limited stock,
appreciation rights, and restricted stock.  Up to 65,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock may be awarded under the Plan. 
Under the Plan, 64 employees, officers, directors, and advisory
directors will be eligible to participate in the Plan.  A more
detailed description of the principal features of the Plan and a
copy of the Plan are included in the Definitive Proxy Statement
of the Company dated August 8, 1996.  The number of votes cast
for the proposal was 990,519, against the proposal was 31,244,
abstentions included 5,998 shares and there were no broker non-
votes.

Amendment to 1992 Compensatory Stock Option Program.  The 
shareholders next considered a proposal to amend the 1992
Compensatory Stock Option Program.  The Company adopted a
Compensatory Stock Option Program in 1992 to award stock options
for 68,808 shares of the Company to Douglas B. Kadison, Charles
S. Nichols, Jr., Paul A. Antrim, and William Waxman (collectively
the "Option Holders") each of whom personally guaranteed certain
debts of the Company.  The Program was approved by the
shareholders of the Company and the options were issued pursuant
to Stock Option Agreements to the Option Holders.  Under their
terms, the Options could only be exercised if (i) all of the debt
of the Company existing as of September 30, 1992 had been fully
paid and satisfied, (ii) any pledge of the Company's stock of
Horizon Bank & Trust, SSB to secure the debt of the Company must
have been approved by the holders of the Company's capital stock
entitled to vote at least 66 2/3% of the shares of all classes of
the Company, and (iii) the book value per share of the Common
Stock must be at least $3.50 per share of the Common Stock. 
These conditions for exercise have been met for the last two
fiscal years and the Board of Directors of the Company felt 
that they are no longer necessary.  Furthermore, condition (ii)
would impair the Option Holder's ability to exercise these
options if the Company decided to borrow funds secured by the
stock of the Bank.  The purpose of the amendment to the
Program is to delete these exercise conditions from the Program. 
The number of votes cast for the proposal was 994,008, against
the proposal was 27,494, abstentions included 6,134 shares, and
there were no broker non-votes.

Selection of Accountants.  The final proposal considered at the
Annual Meeting was a ratification of the appointment of BDO
Seidman as independent auditors for the Company for the year
ended April 30, 1997.  The number of votes cast for the proposal
was 1,053,854, against the proposal was 1,000, no abstentions,
and there were no broker non-votes.
