                         Report of Independent Auditors

First Financial Corporation 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan and Trust

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for plan
benefits of the First Financial Corporation 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan and Trust
(the Plan) as of December  31,  1995 and 1994,  and the  related  statements  of
changes in net assets  available  for plan  benefits  for the years then  ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available for plan
benefits  for the years  then  ended,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying  supplemental  schedules of assets
held for investment as of December 31, 1995, and reportable transactions for the
year then ended,  are presented for purposes of complying with the Department of
Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee
Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974,  and are not a  required  part of the
financial  statements.  The fund  information  in the  statement  of net  assets
available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available
for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional  analysis  rather than
to present the net assets  available for plan benefits and changes in net assets
available for plan benefits of each fund.  The  supplemental  schedules and fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits
of the  financial  statements  and,  in our  opinion,  are fairly  stated in all
material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1995

1. Description of the Plan

The  following   description   of  the  First   Financial   Corporation   401(k)
Profit-Sharing  Plan and Trust (the Plan) as of December 31, 1995, provides only
general  information.  Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description
for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

The Plan is a contributory defined contribution  retirement plan that covers any
employee of First Financial  Corporation (the Employer) who is at least 21 years
of age  and has  completed  a  minimum  of  1,000  hours  of  service  during  a
consecutive twelve-month period. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Employer  contributions  to the Plan are made on a  discretionary  basis (profit
sharing).  Employer  contributions  are allocated based on annual  compensation.
Participants  vest in employer  contributions  on a sliding  scale and are fully
vested after 7 years.  In addition,  participants  may contribute a tax deferred
amount each year which is limited by Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 401(k).
Participants  may  also  contribute  on  an  after-tax  basis,  subject  to  IRC
limitations.  Participant  tax deferred  and  after-tax  contributions  are 100%
vested immediately. The after-tax contributions are not matched by the Employer.
A  participant's  account  balance,  both  vested and  unvested,  is invested as
designated by the  participant in one or a combination  of five funds:  Marshall
Money Market Fund,  Marshall Bond Fund,  Marshall  Max-Cap Fund, First Financial
Corporation CD Fund, and the First Financial Corporation Stock Fund.

Employer  contributions  in 1995 and 1994  were also  made  through  a  matching
program whereby the Employer matched initial participant 401(k) contributions at
25% of the  participant  contribution up to a maximum  matching  contribution of
$100.

Benefits may be paid to a participant or  beneficiary  upon  retirement,  death,
disability or termination  of employment.  Benefits are payable in a lump-sum or
in equal  installments  over a period not to exceed the life  expectancy  of the
participant and designated beneficiary.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  at the date of the
financial  statements.  Estimates also affect the reported  amounts of additions
and deductions during the reporting period. Although estimates are considered to
be fairly stated at the time that the estimates are made,  actual  results could
differ from those estimates.

Investments

Fair values of mutual  funds and common  stocks are  determined  by reference to
quoted redemption and market prices, respectively. Interest-bearing deposits and
notes receivable from participants are carried at cost, which  approximates fair
value.

Reclassifications

Certain 1994 financial  statement  amounts have been  reclassified to conform to
the 1995 presentation.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses are generally paid by the Employer.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

3. Investments

The Plan's investments are held by a  bank-administered  trust fund. During 1995
and 1994, the Plan's investments  (including  investments  bought, sold and held
during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in fair value as follows:

4. Income Tax Status

The Internal  Revenue  Service has ruled that the Plan  qualifies  under Section
401(a) of the IRC and is, therefore, not subject to tax under present income tax
laws. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC
to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator is not aware of any course
of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the
Plan's qualified status.

5. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

The Plan owned  2,192,473 and 1,985,240  shares of First  Financial  Corporation
common stock,  with a fair value of $50,426,879  and $27,297,050 at December 31,
1995 and 1994,  respectively.  Dividends  of $0.48  and  $0.40  per  share  were
declared  and  paid  on  the  Corporation's  common  stock  in  1995  and  1994,
respectively.  Fees paid by the Employer  during the year for legal,  accounting
and other services provided by  parties-in-interest  were based on customary and
reasonable rates.

During 1995 and 1994,  the Plan  received  $141,286 and $62,933 in interest from
the Employer relating to its certificates of deposit,  which totaled  $2,315,377
and $2,833,562 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

6. Plan Termination

Although it has not  expressed  any intent to do so, the  Employer has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan  subject  to the  provisions  of ERISA.  In the event of Plan  termination,
participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
