Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value amounts of the Company’s financial instruments 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 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These include financial instruments recognized as assets and liabilities on the condensed 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 the FASB ASC fair value hierarchy.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash and Due from Banks

— The carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Held- to-Maturity Securities

— For debt securities 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.

Loans Held for Sale

— The carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Net Loans

— The fair value of net loans are estimated on an exit price basis incorporating discounts for credit,

liquidity and marketability factors.

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.

Interest Receivable/Payable

— The carrying amounts approximate fair value.

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.

Borrowings

— Rates currently available to Horizon for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to

estimate fair values of existing borrowings.

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 Letters 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 following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall (unaudited).
