NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying June 30, 2000 and 1999 consolidated financial statements
are unaudited. The December 31, 1999 consolidated financial statements are as
reported in the First Financial Corporation (the Corporation) 1999 annual
report. The following notes should be read together with notes to the
consolidated financial statements included in the 1999 annual report.
1. The significant accounting policies followed by the Corporation and its
subsidiaries for interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting
policies followed for annual financial reporting. All adjustments which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for
the periods reported have been included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements and are of a normal recurring nature. The Corporation
reports financial information for only one segment, banking.
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, which will be adopted by
the Corporation in 2001, is not anticipated to have a material impact on the
Corporation's financial position or results of operations.
2. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based upon current information and
events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Impairment is
primarily measured based on the fair value of the loan's collateral.
The following table summarizes impaired loan information.

Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal
unless collection of the principal amount is deemed to be fully assured, in
which case interest is recognized on a cash basis.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations and Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk
The purpose of this discussion is to point out key factors in the
Corporation's recent performance compared with earlier periods. The discussion
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements beginning on page
three of this report. All figures are for the consolidated entities. It is
presumed the readers of these financial statements and of the following
narrative have previously read the Corporation's annual report for 1999.
Forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion are based
on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic
and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Corporation's
control and are subject to change. These uncertainties can affect actual results
and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statements in this discussion.
Summary of Operating Results
Net income of $11.5 million was up 10.6% from the $10.4 million reported in
1999. Basic earnings per share was up 14.9% from the $1.48 reported in the
second quarter of 1999 to $1.70 per share for the same period in 2000.
The increased earnings are the result of a 1.2% increase in net interest
income and a 20% decrease in the provision for loan losses from the same period
for 1999.
For the three month period ended June 30, 2000, net income of $6.1 million
was 12.9% higher than the $5.4 million reported in 1999. Earnings per share of
$.90 for the second quarter is 16.9% higher than the $.77 reported for the
second quarter of 1999. Increased net interest income and a slight reduction
in non-interest expense is the primary reason for the improved performance.
Net Interest Income
The Corporation's primary source of earnings is net interest income, which
is the difference between the interest earned on loans and other investments and
the interest incurred for deposits and other sources of funds. Net interest
income increased to $33.8 million in the first six months of 2000 from $33.2
million in the same period of 1999 due to an increase in earning asset volume
while the net interest margin decreased to 3.97% in 2000 from 4.09% in the same
period of 1999. This decrease resulted from a shift in the liability mix to
higher cost sources.
Net interest income increased to $17.1 million in the second quarter of
2000, from the $16.8 million reported in 1999, while the net interest margin
decreased to 3.95% in the second quarter of 2000, from 4.11% reported in 1999.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the six month period ending June 30, 2000, as
compared to the same period of 1999, increased $.4 million or 6.4%. The
increase was driven by higher service charges and fees on deposit products.
Noninterest income for the second quarter increased by 18.2% to $3.5
million from the $2.9 million reported in 1999. The increase is the result of
additional fee income generated through the sale of products and services.
10 <PAGE>
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses for the first six months of 2000, as compared to the
same period of 1999, decreased $.4 million due mainly to a 3.1% decrease in
salaries and employee benefits.
Noninterest expenses for the second quarter were $10.7 million, $.3 million
less than the $11.0 million reported for the same period of 1999. All categories
of other expenses were slightly lower for the three month period ended June 30,
2000.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Corporation's provision for loan losses decreased to $2 million for the
first six months of 2000 compared to $2.6 million in the same period of 1999.
At June 30, 2000, the allowance for loan losses was 1.53% of net loans. This
compares with an allowance of 1.50% at December 31, 1999. Net chargeoffs for
the first six months of 1999 were $.9 million compared to $1.2 million for the
same period of 1999. The ratio of annual net chargeoffs to average loans
outstanding for the five years ended December 31, 1999, was .33%. With this
experience and based on management's review of the portfolio, management
believes the allowance of $19.1 million at June 30, 2000, is adequate.
Nonperforming Loans and Leases
Nonperforming loans and leases consist of (1) nonaccrual loans and leases
on which the ultimate collectability of the full amount of interest is
uncertain, (2) loans and leases which have been renegotiated to provide for a
reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of a deterioration in
the financial position of the borrower, and (3) loans and leases past due ninety
days or more as to principal or interest. A summary of nonperforming loans and
leases at June, 2000 and December 31, 1999 follows:
(000's) (000's)
June 30, 2000 December 31, 1999

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity
The Corporation charges the nine subsidiary banks with monitoring and
managing their individual sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rates and
assuring that they have adequate liquidity to meet loan demand or any potential
unexpected deposit withdrawals. This function is facilitated by the
Asset/Liability Committee (the Committee). The primary goal of the committee is
to maximize net interest income within the interest rate risk limits approved
by the Board of Directors. This goal is accomplished through management of the
subsidiary bank's balance sheet liquidity and interest rate risk exposures due
to the changes in economic conditions and interest rate levels.
Interest Rate Risk and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk
Management considers interest rate risk to be the Corporation's most
significant market risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to changes in net
interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Consistency in the
Corporation's net income is largely dependent on the effective management of
this risk.
The Committee reviews a series of monthly reports to ensure that performance
objectives are being met. It monitors and controls interest rate risk through
earnings simulation. Simulation modeling measures the effects of changes in
interest rates, changes in the shape of the yield curve, and changes in
prepayment speeds on net interest income. The primary measure of Interest Rate
Risk is "Earnings at Risk." This measure projects the earnings effect of
various rate movements over the next three years on net interest income. It is
important to note that measures of interest rate risk have limitations and are
dependent upon certain assumptions. These assumptions are inherently uncertain
and, as a result, the model cannot precisely predict the impact of interest rate
fluctuations on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated
results due to timing, frequency and amount of interest rate changes as well as
overall market conditions. The Committee has performed a thorough analysis and
believes the assumptions to be valid and theoretically sound. The relationships
are continuously monitored for behavioral changes.

In its interest rate risk management, the Corporation currently does not
utilize any derivative products and is not engaged in securities trading
activity. The Corporation instead invests in assets whose value is derived from
an underlying asset. These assets include government agency issued mortgage-
backed securities. The performance of these assets in changing rate
environments is included in the following table.
The table below shows the Corporation's estimated earnings sensitivity
profile as of June 30, 2000. Given a 100 basis point increase in rates, net
interest income would decrease 2.18% over the next 12 months and decrease 2.52%
over the second 12 month period. A 100 basis point decrease would result in a
.45% decrease in net interest income over the next 12 months and a .20% decrease
over the second 12 month period. These estimates assume all rates changed
overnight and management took no action as a result of this change.
Basis Point Percentage Change in Net Interest Income
Interest Rate Change 12 months 24 months 36 months
Down 300 -2.42% -1.33% -7.05%
Down 200 -1.47 -.84 -4.64
Down 100 -.45 -.20 -2.10
Up 100 -2.18 -2.52 -.62
Up 200 -4.61 -5.36 -1.52
Up 300 -7.83 -9.15 -3.39
The Corporation uses products which contain options, most notably callable
agency securities and putable Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The securities
pay a premium rate and the advances charge a discounted rate in exchange for the
option. Therefore, there is a benefit to current income by using these
products. Typical rate shock analysis does not reflect management's ability to
react and thereby reduce the effects of rate changes, and represents a worst
case scenario. The model assumes no actions are taken and prices change to the
full extent of the rate shock.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity is measured by each bank's ability to raise funds to meet the
obligations from its customers, including deposit withdrawals and credit needs.
This is accomplished primarily by maintaining sufficient liquid assets in the
form of investment securities and core deposits. The Corporation has $9.1
million of investments that mature throughout the coming 12 months. The
Corporation also anticipates $2.7 million of principal payments from mortgage-
backed securities. Given the current interest rate environment, the Corporation
anticipates $1.6 million of securities to be called within the next 12 months.
With these sources of funds, the Corporation currently anticipates adequate
liquidity to meet the expected obligations of its customers.
Financial Condition
