                 FIRST FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 
 
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                                (Unaudited) 

1 - Basis of Presentation 
 
The financial information included herein for First 
Financial Corporation, and all of its wholly owned and 
majority owned subsidiaries (the "Company") is unaudited; 
however, such unaudited information reflects all adjustments 
which are, in management's opinion, necessary for a fair 
presentation of the financial position, results of 
operations and statement of cash flows for the interim 
periods. Minority interest represents ownership of other 
entities in the net assets and net earnings of Key Group, 
Ltd. ("Key Group"). 
 
The results of operations and changes in cash flow for the 
six-month period ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 
 
Certain reclassification were made to prior periods to 
ensure comparability with the current period. 
 
2 - Earnings Per Share 
 
Earnings per common share were computed by dividing net 
income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.  
 
3 - Income Taxes 
 
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of 
transactions reported in the financial statements and 
consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related 
primarily to differences between the basis of the loan loss 
reserve for financial and income tax reporting.  The 
deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax 
return consequences of those differences, which will either 
be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are 
recovered or settled.   Deferred taxes also are recognized 
for operating losses that are available to offset future 
taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset 
future federal income taxes.  The Company has approximately 
$5,400,000 in available net operating loss carryforward 
benefits for financial statement purposes to offset future 
income, if any. 

4 - Contingencies 
 
As more fully discussed in the Annual Report Form 10-KSB for 
the year ending December 31, 1994,  the Company was 
extinguished as an issurer and servicer of GNMA-MBS 
Securities on September 15, 1987.  GNMA may seek to recover 
from the Company funds advanced by GNMA to cover collection 
shortfalls on the GNMA Loan Portfolio and expenses related 
thereto.  Demand has been made on the Company and its 
subsidiaries by GNMA for $21,129,480, with notice that 
additional losses were anticipated. 
 
The Company's management and legal counsel is not aware of 
any facts which would lead them to believe that is probable 
GNMA will or intends to assert or reassert any claims 
against the Company.  The Company's position is it has no 
liability to GNMA.  Legal counsel has advised the Company 
that if GNMA does assert or reassert any claims, the Company 
should in addition to its defense that it has no liability, 
raise other defenses such as the expiration of the statute 
of limitations and laches.  It is not possible to determine, 
at this time , the ultimate outcome of these matters and the 
effects, if any, on the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements since the final resolution depends on 
circumstances which cannot currently be evaluated with 
certainty. 
 
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of 
Operations and Financial Condition 
 
Results of Operations 
  
The Company had a net income of $121,788 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1995 compared to net income of $70,944 for 
the same period in 1994.  Loan administration revenues were 
$1,407,198 for the first six months of 1995 compared to 
$521,921 for the same period of 1994.  The increase in loan 
administration revenues is primarily due to increased loan 
origination and service fees from the Company's residential 
mortgage loan operations. 
 
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 
amounted to $528,976 compared to $442,527 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1994.  The increase in interest income is 
primarily due to the increased volume of new residential 
mortgage loans originated by and held for sale by the 
Company.  During the six months ended June 30, 1995, 
originations of new residential mortgage loans ammounted to 
approximately $66.2 million compared to approximately $17.5 
million during the same period in 1994. 

Other income for the six  months ended June 30, 1995 
amounted to $279,279 as compared to $280,395 for the same 
period in 1994.   
 
Salaries and related expenses increased to $1,285,842 for 
the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared to $886,781 for 
the six months ended June 30, 1994. This increase is due to 
the addition of personnel in connection with the operations 
of the residential mortgage origination and servicing 
activities of First Preference Mortgage Corp., a second tier 
subsidiary of Key Group. 
 
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, interest expense 
amounted to $339,164 compared to $79,992 for the same period 
in 1994.   
 
During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company's 
interest expense on its warehouse credit lines increased to 
$312,746 from $34,363 for the same period in 1994.  This 
increase is the result of the increased utilization of the 
Company's warehouse credit   lines in connection with the 
origination of residential mortgage loans, which as 
previously discussed increased significantly during the 
period. 
 
During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the provision for 
losses under servicing agreements was ($345,000) resulting 
in a balance in the reserve for losses under servicing 
agreements of $2,327,931 at June 30, 1995.  For the six 
months ended June 30, 1994, the Company had a negative 
provision for losses under servicing agreements of 
($342,000) which resulted in a balance in the reserve for 
losses under servicing agreements of $3,087,028 at June 30, 
1994.  The negative provisions are due to the Company's 
belief that its exposure to losses attributable to the 
servicing agreements continues to decline. 
 
Other operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 
1995 were $922,217 compared to $627,496 for the same period 
1994.  This increase is primarily due to the significant 
increase in new residential mortgage loan originations of 
First Preference Mortgage Corp. 
 
The minority interest in the net loss of Key Group amounted 
to $59,829 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  For the 
six months ended June 30, 1994, the minority interest in the 
net loss of Key Group amounted to $19,200.  The minority 
interest represents the ownership of other entities in the 
Key Group net income or net loss. 
 
Financial Condition 
 
At June 30, 1995, the Company's total assets were 
$8,918,442.  Included in the Company's total assets are the 
assets of Key Group, LTD. which amounted to $5,198,509 at 
June 30, 1995.  The Key Group assets at June 30, 1995 
consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $98,002 
mortgage loans of $3,520,026, property and equipment of 
$338,085 and prepaid expenses and other assets of $666,082.  
The minority interest in the net assets of Key Group at June 
30, 1995 amounted to $1,800,743. 
 
On consolidated basis, cash and cash equivalents (including 
restricted cash) were $758,090 at June 30, 1995.  Included 
therein was cash and cash equivalents for Key Group of 
$98,002 and Apex Lloyds Insurance Company of $585,752.  The 
cash flow of Key Group is only available to the Company to 
the extent that cash is received in the form of partnership 
distributions.  Key Group has paid no distributions and has 
no plans to pay distributions in the foreseeable future.  
The cash flow of Apex Lloyds Insurance Company is only 
available to the Company as allowed by state insurance 
regulations. 
 
As more fully discussed in the Annual Report Form 10-KSB for 
the year ended December 31, 1994, First Preference Mortgage 
Corp. has a master loan participation with four financial 
institutions totaling $35,000,000--$5,000,000 expires in 
September 1995; $5,000,000 expires in October 1995; 
$15,000,000 expires in November 1995; and $10,000,000 
expires in April 1996. 
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION 
 
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings 
 
As previously mentioned, the Company was extinguished as an 
issurer and servicer of GNMA-MBS Securities on September 15, 
1987.  GNMA may seek to recover from the Company funds 
advanced by GNMA to cover collection shortfalls on the GNMA 
Loan Portfolio and expenses related there to.  Demand has 
been made on the Company and its subsidiaries by GNMA for 
$21,129,480, with notice that additional losses were 
anticipated. 
 
The Company's management and legal counsel are not aware of 
any facts which would lead them to believe that is probable 
GNMA will or intends to assert or reassert any claims 
against the Company.  The Company's position is it has no 
liability to GNMA. Legal counsel has advised the Company 
that  if GNMA does assert or reassert any claims, the 
Company should in addition to its defense that is has no 
liability, raise other defenses such as the expiration of 
the statute of limitations and laches.  It is not possible 
to determine, at this time, the ultimate outcome of these 
matters and the effects, if any, on the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements since the final resolution 
depends on circumstances which cannot currently be evaluated 
with certainty. 
 
The Company is involved in other routine litigation 
incidental to its business, both as a plaintiff and a 
defendant. Management of the Company, after consulting with 
legal counsel, feels that liability resulting from the 
litigation, if any, will no have a material effect on this 
financial position of the Company. 
 
Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

pursuant to an information statement dated April 27, 1995,
